Abstract

A spinning top toy includes a body, a shaft part. The body is arranged to collide with an opponent's spinning top toy, and the shaft part is arranged under the body to contact a play board surface. The shaft part includes a base component including a recessed part, a rotation component, a shaft body component, and a shaft. The rotation component is inserted into the recessed part of the base component. The shaft body component is configured in the rotation component. The shaft body component is movable in the vertical direction by rotating the rotation component. The shaft is configured in the shaft body component. The shaft includes a terminal end. The terminal end is retractable in the shaft body component by rotating the rotation component. A lower end of the shaft body component is always lower than a lower end of the rotating component in a vertical direction.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A spinning top toy comprising:
 a body arranged to collide with an opponent's spinning top toy; and   a shaft part arranged under the body to contact a play board surface, the shaft part extending in a vertical direction,   the shaft part including
 a base component including a recessed part, 
 a rotation component being rotatable in a circumferential direction, the rotation component being inserted into the recessed part of the base component, the rotation component being at least partially cylindrical, 
 a shaft body component being configured in the rotation component, the shaft body component being movable in the vertical direction by rotating the rotation component, and 
 a shaft being configured in the shaft body component, the shaft including a terminal end, the terminal end being retractable in the shaft body component by rotating the rotation component, 
   a lower end of the shaft body component being always lower than a lower end of the rotating component in the vertical direction.   
     
     
         2 . The spinning top toy according to  claim 1 , wherein
 the shaft part includes an urging member in the shaft body component,   when the rotation component is rotated in a first direction, the terminal end comes out downward from the lower end of the shaft body component by an urging force of the urging member, and   when the rotation component is rotated in a second direction being opposite to the first direction, the terminal end of the shaft is retracted inside the shaft body component.   
     
     
         3 . The spinning top toy according to  claim 1 , wherein
 the shaft is urged lower side inside the shaft body component by the urging member,   a female screw provided with a notch part is formed on an inner surface of the rotation component,   a male screw is formed on an outside surface of the shaft body component,   an opening part is formed on a predetermined position on a side surface of the shaft body component,   on a side surface of the shaft, the shaft includes a protruding part protruding in a perpendicular direction to the side surface and passing through the opening part of the shaft body component to come outside the shaft body component,   when the rotation component is rotated and the notch part is rotated at a position of the protruding part of the shaft, an engagement of the protruding part and the female screw is released, and the terminal end of the shaft protrudes downwardly from the lower end of the shaft body component, and   when a part other than the notch part of the female screw of the rotation component is rotated, the protruding part of the shaft and the female screw are engaged, and the terminal end of the shaft is retracted inside the shaft body component.   
     
     
         4 . The spinning top toy according to  claim 3 , wherein
 the protruding part has an inclined surface on a lower part thereof, and   by the rotation of the rotation component, an upper side corner part facing the notch part abuts on the inclined surface, and the protruding part of the shaft is urged upwardly by pushing up the inclined surface so as to engage the protruding part of the shaft and the female screw.   
     
     
         5 . The spinning top toy according to  claim 2 , wherein
 the shaft is urged upwardly inside the shaft body component by the urging member,   a female screw provided with a notch part at a predetermined position is formed on an inner surface of the rotation component,   a male screw is formed on an outside surface, and an opening part is formed at a predetermined position on a side surface of the shaft body component,   on a side surface of the shaft, the shaft includes a protruding part protruding in a perpendicular direction to the side surface and passing through the opening part of the shaft body component to come outside of the shaft body component,   when the rotation component is rotated, and when the notch part of the female screw of the rotation component is rotated at a position of the protruding part, an engagement of the protruding part of the shaft and the female screw is released, and the terminal end of the shaft is retracted inside the shaft body component,   when a part other than the notch part of the female screw of the rotation component is rotated at the position of the protruding part of the shaft, the protruding part of the shaft and the female screw are engaged, and the terminal end of the shaft projects downwardly from the lower end of the shaft body component.   
     
     
         6 . The spinning top toy according to  claim 1 , wherein
 an upper surface of the protruding part of the shaft is inclined, and   by the rotation of the rotation component, a lower side corner part facing the notch part of the female screw abuts the upper surface, and   the protruding part of the shaft is urged downwardly by pushing down the inclined surface, so as to engage the protruding part of the shaft and the female screw.   
     
     
         7 . The spinning top toy according to any one of  claim 1 , further comprising
 a component fixedly configured to the base component, wherein   a movement of the shaft body component in a circumferential direction is restricted by the regulating component, and   the shaft body is configured to move only in the vertical direction by the rotation of the rotation component.
