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

Patent number: 7889503Abstract: An electronic appliance includes a circuit board mounted with an electronic-circuit component. The circuit board is covered with a shield, and a metallic heat-dissipating member is arranged on the electronic-circuit component. The shield is grounded on the circuit board, and arranged such that at least one of the surfaces is in the vicinity of the heat-dissipating member. The heat-dissipating member is grounded on the circuit board by a ground member, and at the periphery of the ground member, magnetic members are arranged.Type: GrantFiled: July 11, 2007Date of Patent: February 15, 2011Assignee: Nintendo Co., Ltd.Inventors: Takeshi Nagareda, Yasuhisa Kitano, Sadayoshi Hattori

Patent number: 7581865Abstract: A panel light-emitting structure includes a front panel, a light guide plate, a light-emitting portion, a guide, etc. The light guide plate is formed in a transversely elongated shape having a long side and a short side, and includes an elongated hole extending in a direction of the long side. This forms two light transmission areas. A notch is provided outside the elongated hole at the short side section. This enables an incident light from an LED to the light transmission areas. An outer surface of the light guide plate is formed by an R curved surface. Accordingly, almost all of the light from the LED is totally reflected by the outer surface.Type: GrantFiled: March 7, 2007Date of Patent: September 1, 2009Assignee: Nintendo Co., Ltd.Inventors: Noboru Wakitani, Junji Takamoto, Yasuhisa Kitano

Patent number: 7436664Abstract: In an electronic appliance, a base is thermally fused by a heat generating component. On the base, a heat dissipating fin group including heat dissipating fins each extending in a Y direction is arranged in spaced relation in an X direction. An exhaust fan and a partition between which the heat dissipating fin group is sandwiched in the Y direction are arranged so as to be faced with each other. The edge portion group of the heat dissipating fin group on the side of the partition is farthest from the wall surface at least one outermost position in the X direction and closest from the wall surface at a specific position different from the one outermost position, and is farther from the wall surface between the specific position and the one outermost position as the one outermost position is approached.Type: GrantFiled: March 22, 2007Date of Patent: October 14, 2008Assignee: Nintendo Co., Ltd.Inventors: Yuji Hori, Junji Takamoto, Noboru Wakitani, Yasuhisa Kitano
