PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To reduce an apparatus in size by efficiently arranging the drive source for use in driving a keyboard. SOLUTION: The apparatus includes: the keyboard 16 arranged in a row; a plurality of actuators 18 for use in driving the keyboard 16; and a link 20 for transmitting the operation of the actuators 18 to the keyboard 16. The actuators 18 are arranged, in a manner of being divided into four rows, and the actuator 18 of each line is arranged in a manner of being shifted relative to each other. Adjacent links among keyboard links 52a to 52d constituting the link 20 are arranged mutually in a manner of being divided above and below. COPYRIGHT: (C)2008,JPO&INPIT

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a portable electronic device of which a pattern can be exchanged for the market of portable electronic devices such that even girls can enjoy devices with freshness for a long time although the girls cannot frequently buy new devices as the adult does, and which has a front ornament emphasizing an aspect of design. SOLUTION: A component structure for an electronic device includes: an electronic device body 10; and a transparent case body 20 which covers the surface of the electronic device body and is abutted with the edge of the electronic device body, while leaving at least an operating part of the electronic device parallel spacing apart from the surface of the electronic device body. Fitting parts 23, 16 for fitting the case body with the electronic device body are provided at an edge 14 of the electronic device, a sheet body 30 is fitted as ornamenting all over the surface of the electronic device excepting a display unit 4 or the like thereof, and the edge of the sheet body is abutted and fixed to the edge of the case body.

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a rocking toy which smoothly reproduces rocking of a rocking member. SOLUTION: The rocking toy includes a pair of rocking arm members and a connection means which movably connects the arm members with each other and is disposed so as to transmit turning drive force supplied to one of the arms to the other. At the lower ends of the respective arm members, weights are provided. A branch arm member is provided which is branched from at least one of the arm members and disposed so that the end thereof turns. At the end of the branch arm member, a permanent magnet is provided. An electromagnetic coil which applies and receives magnetic action to and from the permanent magnet is provided. While the electromagnetic coil is not excited, the pair of arm members is at the intermediate position where weight balance is formed with each other. When the electromagnetic coil intermittently and magnetically acts on the permanent magnet, the pair of arm members makes round trip between the intermediate position and an energization position.

Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a projection type kaleidoscope which can efficiently use luminous flux from a light source as light for projection and consequently project a pattern with uniform brightness. SOLUTION: In the kaleidoscope, by inclining a lens barrel unit 44, a straight advancing optical axis is caused to come near to the apex of the equilateral of an isosceles triangle. It is found that by inclining the lens barrel unit 44, light which is not reflected on a lens surface, and straight advances to be output comes near to the apex of the equilateral. The center of brightness (center A1 of a circle S) and the center B1 of a projection image are therefore positioned comparatively closely. COPYRIGHT: (C)2008,JPO&INPIT

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a taking-out device where all spherical bodies are stirred, the spherical bodies are seen from outside, the spherical bodies are replenished easily, the spherical balls are not damaged and one of the spherical balls can be taken out reliably. SOLUTION: The taking-out device is provided with: a cylindrical drum for housing a large number of spherical bodies having the same shape; and a drum cover with which the drum is covered. The drum has: a cylindrical and transparent cylinder; a shaft formed so that the center line of the cylinder may be a rotary shaft; an insertion port for inserting the spherical bodies; an ejection port for ejecting the spherical bodies at a position deviated in the axial direction of the cylinder with respect to an insertion part; an ejection port cover capable of holding only one spherical body between the ejection port and itself; and a drum guide sheet for guiding the spherical bodies to the ejection port cover with the rotation of the drum. The drum cover has: a drum back cover having a taking-out port for taking out the spherical bodies; and a drum front cover which is separable from the drum back cover and which is transparent.

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a water toy capable of moving quickly, being chased by children, and creating characters each having a different movement. SOLUTION: This water toy has cases 2 and 3, and a power generating means 13 which is set in the case, and generates a rotating power. The water toy is propelled by a water stream which is generated by the rotation of a blade 16 being provided in the power generating means. The power generating means is set in the case in such a manner that the rotating shaft 13a may become the vertical direction. In the case, a blade housing chamber 15 which houses the blade is provided under the power generating means. The blade housing chamber has a first water jetting hole 20 which jets water from the blade housing chamber in the direction to the external edge of the case, and a water carrying path 18 which faces a different direction from the water jetting hole and carries water to a higher section than the blade. In addition, on the case, the water toy has a second water jetting hole 6 which jets the carried water by the water carrying path to the outside of the case. COPYRIGHT: (C)2007,JPO&INPIT
