At this time, the first deformable member 324 bends downward, and the second deformable member 325 bends downward. Since the protruding distance D21 (see
[0050] When the user further grips the placement portion 321 of the gondola member 32A and pulls the placement portion 321 to lift the placement portion 321 forward, the first deformable member 324 is detached from the hole 312. At this time, the first deformable member 324 bends downward. When the first deformable member 324 is detached from the hole 312, an external pressure applied to the first deformable member 324 is eliminated, and thus the first deformable member 324 returns to an original state. When the user removes the gondola member 32A from the rotation main body 31, as described above, the first deformable member 324 is bent downward and the second deformable member 325 is bent downward, and thus the user can easily remove the protruding portion 323 from the hole 312. In this way, the user can remove the gondola member 32A from the rotation main body 31.
(Details of Operation of Movement Mechanism 4)
[0051] Next, an operation of the movement mechanism 4 will be described in detail with reference to
[0052] As illustrated in
[0053] Subsequently, when the user moves the traction member 42 upward while gripping the grip portion 423 of the traction member 42, as illustrated in
[0054] An amusement park toy may include a main body and a gondola member imitating a gondola. In such an amusement park toy, it is assumed that the gondola member is attached to and detached from a main body to play. However, when the gondola member is relatively firmly attached to the main body, the gondola member may not be easily detached from the main body, or, for example, the gondola member may be damaged when the gondola member is attached to and detached from the main body and is played. In this regard, there is room for improvement in related amusement park toys.
[0055] On the other hand, according to the amusement park toy 100 having the above configuration, when the protruding portion 323 of the gondola member 32 detachably provided to the rotation main body 31 is inserted into the hole 312 of the rotation main body 31, the first deformable member 324 and the second deformable member 325 provided in the protruding portion 323 are deformed to approach each other. Therefore, the protruding portion 323 of the gondola member 32 is easily inserted into the hole 312 of the rotation main body 31 and is hardly detached from the hole 312. As described above, according to the amusement park toy 100, it is possible to enhance ease of attachment and detachment of the gondola member 32 to the main body 1.
[0056] According to the amusement park toy 100 having the above configuration, the first deformable member 324 is disposed above the second deformable member 325, and the protruding distance D21 of the first deformable member 324 is longer than the protruding distance D22 of the second deformable member 325. Therefore, for example, when the gondola member 32 is removed from the main body 1, the user can easily remove the gondola member 32 from the main body 1 by removing the first deformable member 324 after removing the second deformable member 325.
[0057] According to the amusement park toy 100 having the above configuration, the protrusion 326 formed at the tip of the first deformable member 324 and protruding upward is engaged with the hole 312 of the rotation main body 31. That is, when the protruding portion 323 of the gondola member 32 is inserted into the hole 312 of the rotation main body 31, the first deformable member 324 is engaged with the hole 312, and thus, for example, it is possible to prevent the gondola member 32 from being detached from the rotation main body 31 when the rotation mechanism 3 swings.
[0058] In addition, according to the amusement park toy 100 having the above-described configuration, the pedestal portion 2 includes the first pedestal member 21 and the second pedestal member 22 provided apart from the first pedestal member 21, and thus the amusement park toy 100 can be formed with high stability while reducing cost.
[0059] According to the amusement park toy 100 having the above configuration, the rotation mechanism 3 is provided on the front side of the main body 1, while the second pedestal member 22 is provided on the rear side of the rotation mechanism 3. Therefore, a force to tilt the amusement park toy 100 forward is applied by the rotation mechanism 3, and a force to tilt the amusement park toy 100 rearward is also applied by the second pedestal member 22, so that the stability of the amusement park toy 100 can be further improved.
