Patent number: 8722177Abstract: In a transfer mold body, a display portion is formed from a crystalline resin and a main body portion is formed from an amorphous resin. Accordingly, a transfer layer is only transferred to the amorphous resin formed main body portion that has good transfer properties for the transfer layer, and the transfer layer is not transferred to the crystalline resin formed display portion that has poor transfer properties for the transfer layer. Accordingly, only the main body portion is decorated by the transfer layer, with the display portion to which the transfer layer is not transferred visibly displayed as the letter. Accordingly, since printing process is not necessary, suppressing an increase in cost of the transfer mold body. Moreover, the position of the letter is determined by two-color molding of the main body portion and the display portion, enabling positional displacement of the letter to be suppressed.Type: GrantFiled: April 23, 2013Date of Patent: May 13, 2014Assignee: Kabushiki Kaisha Tokai-Rika-Denki-SeisakushoInventors: Kenichi Sugisaka, Takashi Ichikawa, Eiji Yamada, Atsushi Tsukihara, Ryusuke Sadamatsu, Katsuyuki Imaeda, Soichiro Ogawa

Publication number: 20140106641Abstract: A backspin toy includes a running body including a flywheel, a starting base including a starting unit, and a torque giving unit. The torque giving unit gives torque to travel backward to the flywheel in a state in which the running body is kept on the starting base. The starting unit hits the running body so as to give force to travel forward to the running body in a state in which the torque is given to the flywheel, thereby catapulting the running body forward with backspin. The running body including the flywheel, to which the torque is given, and being catapulted forward, travels backward by the torque given to the flywheel in response to reaching a limit point of the force to travel forward.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 18, 2013Publication date: April 17, 2014Applicant: Tomy Company, LtdInventor: Takashi ICHIKAWA

Publication number: 20130323462Abstract: A transfer layer is transferred well to a step portion. In a transfer mold body, a projection and indentation portion is formed to a front face of a bottom wall of a step portion.
