Patent number: 11369891Abstract: A walking toy in which if a torso is moved forward walking motion is performed has the torso, two legs. The walking toy includes a crank member having a pair of crank eccentric shafts. Each of the legs has a motion member giving rotational force to the crank member when the torso moves forward. Each of the motion members has an eccentric shaft connecting part pivotably connected to the corresponding crank eccentric shaft, a torso cooperation part, and an action part on which force received from the walking surface act. Projections are formed at the torso cooperation part, while grooves are formed at the torso. If the action part of the one leg moves rearward, the motion member moves to thereby impart rotational force to the crank member and, the other leg is moved forward due to rotation of the crank member, and then contacts the walking surface.Type: GrantFiled: March 26, 2021Date of Patent: June 28, 2022Assignee: Nintendo Co., Ltd.Inventors: Hironori Furuike, Toshiaki Iwao, Kazuhiko Koriyama, Yasuhisa Kitano, Takaki Fujino, Keizo Ota

Publication number: 20220196495Abstract: A light emitting apparatus has a visible light emitter, an invisible light emitter, invisible light receiver for receiving invisible light emitted from the invisible light emitter, cover member covering these components, and controller for controlling operation of the visible light emitter. The cover member has flexibility so as to deform when receiving external force, and at least partially reflects invisible light and passes and diffuses visible light. The invisible light emitter emits invisible light toward an inside surface of the cover member, and the invisible light receiver receives invisible light and reflected by the cover member. The controller controls an emission mode of visible light emitted from the visible light emitter in accordance with a reception state of invisible light at the invisible light receiver, which changes in accordance with deformation of the cover member.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 17, 2021Publication date: June 23, 2022Inventors: Yoshiyasu Ogasawara, Hironori Furuike
