Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] This invention relates to a traveling toy that can have two forms with significantly different appearances by changing its form.

Conventionally, most of the form-changing traveling toys have been toys that change form from a car to something other than a car, such as a sports car changing form into a robot, and the form change between objects belonging to the same car category. Since the number of changing traveling toys is small and the change in form is only a slight change in appearance, they have disadvantages such as difficulty in attracting the interest of toy buyers. This is because, in the case of traveling toys that involve changes in the form of cars, it is difficult to change the form of parts that are visually characteristic of cars, such as the driver's seat and wheels.

This idea was made in view of the above circumstances, and is a traveling toy imitating the external shape of a dump truck that has a loading platform at the rear of the body. A loading platform is attached to the side so that the loading platform can be rotated in front of the body, and wheel bodies with a wheel shape on the outside and a track shape on the inside are installed at the bottom of both sides of the body so that they can be turned cartwheel relative to the body. It has a configuration. In other words, the loading platform placed on the rear of the body, which resembles a dump truck, is moved to the front of the body to form a bucket truck, and is attached to both sides of the body so that it can be cartwheeled. To provide a traveling toy that can be easily changed from a dump truck to a power shovel car with a very different appearance by cartwheeling a wheel body having a track shape by 180 degrees.

An embodiment of this invention will be described in detail below based on the drawings. FIGS. 1A, 1B, and 1C are an overall perspective view, a side view, and a rear view of essential parts, showing a first form of a traveling toy according to an embodiment of this invention. The running toy 1 is modeled after a dump truck and is composed of a body 2, a loading platform 3 placed on the rear of the body 2, and wheel bodies 4 attached to both sides of the body 2. A driver's cab 5 is formed in the middle part of the body 2, and a front fender part 6 and a rear fender part 7 are formed in the front and rear parts of the body 2, respectively. A pair of support shafts 8, 8 are provided protruding from both sides of the driver's cab 5. A base end portion of an arm 9 whose other end portion is rotatably attached to the inner wall of the loading platform 3 is rotatably attached to the support shafts 8, 8. By displacing the cargo platform 3 forward of the front fender section 6 about the support shaft 8, it forms a bucket of a power shovel car, which is the second form of the traveling toy shown in FIG.

A wheel 10 is formed on the outside of the wheel body 4, and an endless track 11 is formed on the inside of the wheel body 4. The wheel body 4 is disposed in a recess 15 provided on both lower sides of the body 2, and is rotatably mounted around a pin 12 provided on a front fender section 6 and a rear fender section 7. By turning the wheel body 4 in half around the pin 12, the endless track 11 constituting the power shovel car is exposed as shown in FIG.

A driver's seat 13, which is a component when the dump truck is transformed into a power shovel car, is buried in the lower part of the body 2 on which the loading platform 3 is placed. This driver's seat 13 is pivotally supported by a protrusion 14, and by being rotated 180 degrees, it is placed on the rear part of the body 2 as shown in FIG. 2b.

Next, an operation for changing the form of the traveling toy 1 having the above configuration from the first form (dump truck type) to the second form (power shovel car type) will be described. When changing the form, first, as shown in FIG. Rotate and displace it to the center. Next, the wheel body 4 is rotated halfway around the pin 12 to expose the endless track 11. Furthermore, the driver's seat 13 is rotated 180 degrees around the protrusion 14.
By performing the deformation operation of the three members in this way, the form of the dump truck shown in Fig. 1 is changed to the form of the power shovel car shown in Fig. 2, and the form change of the traveling toy 1 is completed. Become. The morphological changes that can be obtained with this simple operation are extremely versatile. Also, by reversing the above procedure, it can be easily transformed from a power shovel car form to a dump truck form.

As described above, the traveling toy of the present invention can be easily transformed from a dump truck to a power shovel car by displacing the position of the loading platform and changing the direction of the wheel body, and even young children can enjoy the toy. be. Further, unlike the conventional vehicle described above, the changes in the shape of the cars do not involve only slight changes in their appearance, and it is not possible to associate the shape before the transformation with the shape after the transformation.
