Abstract
A disc discharging toy for discharging discs is provided which comprises a plurality of resilient discs, a magazine for holding the discs in a stacked position, a forcibly feeding device for forcibly feeding the discs so held in the supply portion piece by piece toward a discharging position, and a discharging device for discharging the disc so fed. The discharging device includes two rollers and a motor for rotating at least one of the two rollers in a direction in which the disc is discharged.
Claims18
A hand-held disc discharging toy comprising:
- a body having a hand grip;
- a plurality of resilient discs;
- a magazine mounted on the body and containing the plurality of resilient discs in a stacked disposition;
- means for discharging the discs one by one from the body;
- and
- means for feeding the discs one by one from the magazine to the discharging means,
- wherein each said disc includes upper and lower planar surfaces, and a disc axis orthogonal to said upper and lower planar surfaces,
- wherein the discharging means includes a drive roller driven by a motor, the drive roller engaging each disc and imparting thereto a discharging force when fed into a discharge position by the feeding means, and wherein the drive roller has an axis of rotation parallel to said axis of each resilient disc.
A disc discharging toy for discharging discs comprising:
- a plurality of resilient discs;
- a supply portion for holding the plurality of discs in a stacked disposition;
- feeding means for forcibly feeding the discs held in said supply portion one by one to a discharging position;
- at least two rollers which engage each disc therebetween;
- and
- a motor for rotating at least one of the two rollers in a direction in which the discs are to be discharged.
A disc discharging toy comprising:
- a plate having two opposite sides, a forward portion and a rearward portion;
- means for holding a plurality of discs in a vertical stack over the rearward portion of the plate;
- a first roller driven by an electric motor and being positioned on one side of the plate;
- and
- means for feeding a lower-most one of the discs into engagement with the first roller, to thereby be discharged from the forward portion of the plate.
A hand-held disc discharging toy comprising:
- a body having a hand grip;
- a motor mounted in the body;
- a drive roller driven by the motor and having an axis of rotation;
- and
- a disc carried by the body and having upper and lower planar surfaces and an axis orthogonal to said upper and lower planar surfaces and substantially parallel to the axis of the drive roller, and a periphery engaged by the drive roller to thereby impart a discharging force to the disc.
