Flying toy
A flying toy is provided in which a flying object on a model having an optional character can be caused to freely ascend/descend or hover by remote control. The flying toy comprises: a flying object which replicates a model having a character; an upper rotor and a lower rotor which are provided on the top of the flying object and which concentrically rotate in directions opposite from each other; a stabilizer which rotates in conjunction with at least one of the rotors and which stabilizes a posture; a driver which is provided inside the flying object and which rotates the upper rotor, the lower rotor and the stabilizer; a control circuit for remote control to control an operation of the driver and a battery to serve as a power source which are provided inside the flying object.
1. A flying toy comprising:
a flying object including a hollow, enclosed, heavier-than-air body having a shape of a character;
an upper rotor mounted on an upper rotation shaft and a lower rotor mounted on a lower rotation shaft, the rotors being provided on the top of the enclosed body and which concentrically rotate in directions opposite from each other;
a stabilizer mounted to the upper rotation shaft which rotates in conjunction with the upper rotor and which stabilizes orientation and motion of the flying object, the stabilizer being coupled to a tiltable joint, the joint being coupled to a second joint via a link;
an electric motor which is provided inside the enclosed body and which rotates the upper rotor, the lower rotor and the stabilizer;
a control circuit provided inside the enclosed body for remote control to control an operation of the motor; and
a battery provided inside the enclosed body to serve as a power source for the motor and the control circuit.
2. The flying toy according to claim 1 , wherein the stabilizer and the upper rotor are attached so that surfaces of rotor blades of the upper rotor tilt in conjunction with the stabilizer via the link when the stabilizer tilts from a horizontal position.
3. The flying toy according to claim 1 , wherein the character is in a shape of a doll figure and the upper rotor and the lower rotor are provided on a head or a rear side part of the flying object.
