Water toy

Abstract

The present invention provides a water toy with which infants can enjoy themselves by watching the toy acting as it were a human being swims. This water toy has a head portion, a torso portion, left and right arm portions, and left and right leg portions to thereby be copied from a human figure. The right arm portion and the left arm portion are provided individually at ends of the rotational shaft provided inside the torso portion. The right leg portion is interlocked with the rotation of the right arm portion, and the left leg portion is interlocked with the rotation of the left arm portion. The right arm portion is connected to the right leg portion, and the left arm portion is connected to the left leg portion. A power spring rotating the rotational shaft is incorporated, whereby the water toy can float on the surface of water.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A water toy having a head portion, a torso portion, left and right arm portions, and left and right leg portions to thereby be copied from a human figure, the water toy comprising:
 the right arm portion and the left arm portion provided individually at both ends of a rotational shaft which is provided inside the torso portion,   wherein the right arm portion is connected to the right leg portion so that a distal end of the right leg portion reciprocates as the right arm portion rotates, and the left arm portion is connected to the left leg portion so that a distal end of the left leg portion reciprocates as the left arm portion rotates, and   wherein a power spring which rotates the rotational shaft is incorporated in an interior of the torso portion, the water toy being able to float on the surface of water.   
     
     
         2 . The water toy according to  claim 1 , wherein the head portion, the torso portion, the left and right arm portions, and the left and right leg portions are formed from a synthetic resin whose specific gravity is smaller than 1. 
     
     
         3 . The water toy according to  claim 1 , wherein the right leg portion is connected to the other end of an oscillating rod which is caused to reciprocate at one end thereof by an eccentric cam provided on the right arm portion so that the distal end thereof reciprocates, while the left leg portion is connected to the other end of an oscillating rod which is caused to reciprocate at one end thereof by an eccentric cam provided on the left arm portion so that the distal end thereof reciprocates. 
     
     
         4 . The water toy according to  claim 2 , wherein the right leg portion is connected to the other end of an oscillating rod which is caused to reciprocate at one end thereof by an eccentric cam provided on the right arm portion so that the distal end thereof reciprocates, while the left leg portion is connected to the other end of an oscillating rod which is caused to reciprocate at one end thereof by an eccentric cam provided on the left arm portion so that the distal end thereof reciprocates. 
     
     
         5 . The water toy according to  claim 1 , wherein one arm portion of the left and right arm portions is fixed to one end of the rotational shaft so as to rotate together with the rotational shaft, while the other arm portion is attached rotatably to the other end of the rotational shaft, and an engagement projection which is brought into engagement with an engagement recess portion provided on a rotational plate which rotates together with the rotational shaft is provided on the other arm portion so as to allow the other arm portion to rotate together with the rotational shaft. 
     
     
         6 . The water toy according to  claim 2 , wherein one arm portion of the left and right arm portions is fixed to one end of the rotational shaft so as to rotate together with the rotational shaft, while the other arm portion is attached rotatably to the other end of the rotational shaft, and an engagement projection which is brought into engagement with an engagement recess portion provided on a rotational plate which rotates together with the rotational shaft is provided on the other arm portion so as to allow the other arm portion to rotate together with the rotational shaft. 
     
     
         7 . The water toy according to  claim 3 , wherein one arm portion of the left and right arm portions is fixed to one end of the rotational shaft so as to rotate together with the rotational shaft, while the other arm portion is attached rotatably to the other end of the rotational shaft, and an engagement projection which is brought into engagement with an engagement recess portion provided on a rotational plate which rotates together with the rotational shaft is provided on the other arm portion so as to allow the other arm portion to rotate together with the rotational shaft. 
     
     
         8 . The water toy according to  claim 4 , wherein one arm portion of the left and right arm portions is fixed to one end of the rotational shaft so as to rotate together with the rotational shaft, while the other arm portion is attached rotatably to the other end of the rotational shaft, and an engagement projection which is brought into engagement with an engagement recess portion provided on a rotational plate which rotates together with the rotational shaft is provided on the other arm portion so as to allow the other arm portion to rotate together with the rotational shaft. 
     
     
         9 . The water toy according to  claim 1 , wherein a power spring knob which winds up the power spring protrudes from a body portion, and the power spring knob is formed of a member whose specific gravity is larger than 1. 
     
     
         10 . The water toy according to  claim 2 , wherein a power spring knob which winds up the power spring protrudes from a body portion, and the power spring knob is formed of a member whose specific gravity is larger than 1. 
     
     
         11 . The water toy according to  claim 3 , wherein a power spring knob which winds up the power spring protrudes from a body portion, and the power spring knob is formed of a member whose specific gravity is larger than 1. 
     
     
         12 . The water toy according to  claim 4 , wherein a power spring knob which winds up the power spring protrudes from a body portion, and the power spring knob is formed of a member whose specific gravity is larger than 1. 
     
     
         13 . The water toy according to  claim 5 , wherein a power spring knob which winds up the power spring protrudes from a body portion, and the power spring knob is formed of a member whose specific gravity is larger than 1.
