Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Technical Field] The present invention relates to a running toy equipped with a protruding body, and more specifically, to a device that allows the protruding body to protrude by detecting a vertical impact load applied to the running toy from a running surface. It concerns a traveling toy.

[Prior art]

2. Description of the Related Art There are generally known dolls that imitate a driver, and running toys that make missiles or the like fly out from a running vehicle. This type of traveling toy uses an elastic member such as a coil spring to bias a doll, missile, etc. in advance and hold it in a locked state. Then, a person may actuate a button or the like provided on the vehicle from the outside while the vehicle is running.
Alternatively, when the vehicle collides with an obstacle, the external force exerted on the front or rear bumper is used to release the locking state of the projectile member and launch the doll, missile, etc. from the vehicle. .

However, in this type of conventional traveling toy, first of all, a person has to approach the traveling traveling toy and operate a button to release the lock, which is troublesome. Moreover, since it only operates when a person operates it, the play itself is simple and easy to get bored with.Furthermore, the operation button is placed in an easy-to-touch location on the outer surface of the traveling toy, so it is not needed when it is not needed. This had the disadvantage that the lock was released by touching this button carelessly.

Next, the method of automatically releasing the lock based on the external force applied to the bumper requires that there are obstacles in front and behind the traveling direction of the toy, and that the toy receives a horizontal external force parallel to the running surface from this obstacle. Ta. For this reason, although it is possible to have a plurality of moving toys of the same type and release the lock when they collide to play, this kind of play is not possible with a single moving toy. In addition to this, you can also play by colliding with an indoor wall or colliding with a collision wall built specifically for play inside the room, but in either case, there are limitations on where and how to play. has been done. In other words, the place to play was in a space surrounded by walls, and the only way to play was to make the dolls or missiles fly out when they collided, and no consideration was given to the continued running of the running toys after the collision.

[Purpose of invention]

This invention was devised in view of the above points,
To provide a running toy capable of automatically protruding a protruding body provided on the running toy by detecting a vertical impact load received from a running surface on which the running toy runs.

Yet another purpose is to prevent inadvertent operation;
It is an object of the present invention to provide the above-mentioned traveling toy in which the play method or play space is not limited.

[Structure of the idea]

A brief overview of typical devices disclosed in this application is as follows.

That is, the running body of the running toy is provided with a projecting body so as to be freely protrusive, and a first resilient member that provides an elastic force that causes the projecting body to protrude outside the running body is stretched between the running body and the projecting body. It's on a shelf. It engages with the protruding body that has accumulated elastic force to prevent the protruding body from protruding outward, and when a vertical impact is applied to the traveling body, it detects this impact force and engages with the protruding body. It is provided with an engaging member that releases the projection body and enables the projection body to protrude. The protrusion and the engagement member are held in an engagement relationship by claws provided on both of them. Further, one end of the engagement member is coupled to the traveling body, and a second elastic member is stretched between the other end and the traveling body, allowing the engagement member to move in the vertical direction. . Therefore, the second resilient member detects the vertical impact received by the traveling body as a vertical load and moves the engaging member in the vertical direction, so that the engagement of the claw is released and the projecting body is allowed to protrude. It's tight.

〔Example〕

A preferred embodiment of the traveling toy of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.

In one embodiment shown in FIGS. 1 to 6, the protruding body of the traveling toy is made into a concave pit. Furthermore, in this embodiment, when this cockpit is moved and projected forward of the vehicle body, it is moved along with this movement to unfold the tail wing which is folded and attached to the rear of the vehicle body. Therefore, when a traveling toy runs as a car and, for example, lands from a jump platform set up on its running track, the car receives a vertical impact and is thrown forward.
The tail can also be extended, so after landing, it continues to run as a traveling toy modeled after a jet aircraft.

FIG. 1 is an overall perspective view of the traveling toy, in which the protruding body 2 of the traveling toy 1 does not protrude, and the tail 3
indicates an undeveloped state. The traveling main body of the traveling toy 1 consists of a chassis 4 and a body 5 mounted and fixed on the chassis 4. A protruding body 2 is fitted into the front central part of the body 5 so as to be slidable in the longitudinal direction of the traveling body, and main horizontal stabilizers 31 are rotatable with respect to the chassis 4 at both rear sides of the body 5. The secondary horizontal stabilizer 32 is rotatably attached to the main horizontal stabilizer 31 .

FIG. 6 shows that the protruding body 2 of the traveling toy 1 protrudes forward of the traveling main body, and the main and sub-horizontal stabilizers 31, 3
FIG. 2 is an overall perspective view showing a state in which the travel body 2 is extended on both sides of the traveling body.

Next, one embodiment of the traveling toy of the present invention will be described in more detail with reference to FIGS. 2 and 3. 2 is a side sectional view along the center line of the protruding body 2 shown in FIG. 1, and FIG. 3 is a bottom view of FIG. 1.

The protruding body 2 is supported so as to be slidable forward along a guide wall 6 integrally formed at the front of the body 5. At the center of the protruding body 2 is a base 7 that protrudes downward.
A compression coil spring (first elastic member) 10 is stretched between the hook 8 of the base 7 and the hook 9 formed at the tip of the guide wall 6 of the body 5. Further, at the rear of the protruding body 2, an interlocking arm 20 for operating the tail 3 is formed to protrude rearward. A claw 11 is further formed on the base 7 of the protruding body 2, and this claw 11 has a step 11a on the front surface and a gently sloped surface 11b on the rear surface. This nail 11
Since the protruding body 2 is urged forward by the compression coil spring 10, it engages with a pawl 13 formed on the engaging member 12. This nail 1
3 has a step 13a on the rear surface and a gently sloped surface 13b on the front surface, similar to the claw 11.

The engaging member 12 includes a leg portion 14 branched into a substantially Y-shape and a tip portion 15, and the claw 13 is provided at a transition portion between the leg portion 14 and the tip portion 15. A rotation shaft 16 is attached to the leg portion 14, and the engagement member 12 is rotatably supported with respect to the traveling body. The tip portion 15 on the other end side of the engagement member 12 therefore forms a free end. A weight 17 is screwed to the tip portion 15 that acts as a free end, and a tension coil spring (second resilient member) 18 is stretched between the chassis 4 and the weight 17. Therefore,
The engaging member 12 is biased upwardly by a tension coil spring 18, and is prevented from engaging with the protrusion 2 which is biased forward by a compression coil spring 10.
It is maintained by 3. Further, the vertical impact applied to the traveling body appears as an impact load on the tension coil spring 18, and the engaging member 12
It can be seen that it acts to release the engagement.

According to the above explanation, the protruding body 2 and the engaging member 1
2 is clear, and only with this structure can the protruding body 2 be locked and released when subjected to an impact force. However, in this embodiment, the tail 3 can also be extended in conjunction with the protrusion of the protrusion 2. This configuration will be explained next.

The interlocking arm 20 of the projection 2 is adapted to engage with an actuating member 40 that actuates the tail fin 3 when the projection 2 is projected forward. The actuating member 40 is a substantially U-shaped plate member, and its base 41 and the engaging claw 21 of the interlocking arm 20 are in a steady state, that is, when the tail 3
They are arranged so that they are not spread out and are spaced apart. A pin 42 is installed at both ends of the U-shaped actuating member 40, and a tension coil spring 45 is stretched between the pin 42 and a hook 44 of a fixed plate 43 fixed to the body 5. There is. The actuating member 40 is biased rearward by the tension coil spring 45 and remains stationary at a position where the pin 42 and the fixed plate 43 abut. Furthermore, an engagement plate 46 is fixed to the pin 42, and this engagement plate 46 has a long hole 47 and an engagement claw 48 formed therein. A guide pin 49 implanted in the fixed plate 43 is inserted into the elongated hole 47 so as to be guided. The longitudinal length of this elongated hole 47 is such that the protruding body 2 protrudes forward and the interlocking arm 2
The setting is such that the actuating member 4 can be moved sufficiently forward by the engaging claw 21 of 0. By doing so, the engagement pawl 48 of the engagement plate 46 can move forward and the tail 3 can be extended.

As shown in FIG. 5, the main horizontal stabilizer 31 of the tail 3 is hinged to the chassis 4, and the auxiliary horizontal stabilizer 32 is hinged to the main horizontal stabilizer 31. Further, a torsion coil spring 50 is stretched between the main horizontal stabilizer 31 and the chassis 4, and provides a rotational moment that allows the main horizontal stabilizer 31 to extend toward the side of the traveling body. The main horizontal stabilizer 31 is provided with an engaging pawl 51 in order to hold the tail 3 against the side surface of the traveling body against this rotational moment.
As shown in FIG. 3, it is adapted to engage with an engaging claw 48 of an engaging plate 46. Note that the rotation of the main horizontal stabilizer 31 and the sub-horizontal stabilizer 32 is set to approximately 90 degrees.

The operation of the traveling toy 1 having the configuration described above mainly with reference to FIGS. 2, 3 and 5 will now be described.

For example, using a jump table or the like, the traveling toy 1 is caused to travel toward the jump table and land thereon. At this point, the impact on the traveling vehicle body is caused by the tension coil spring 18.
This acts as a vertically downward load (a load on the engaging member 12 including the weight 17, which rotates around the rotating shaft 16) (see FIG. 4). For this reason,
The engagement between the protruding body 2 and the claws 11 and 13 of the engaging member 12 is disengaged, and the protruding body 2 is moved forward by the elastic restoring force of the compression coil spring 10. At the same time, the interlocking arm 20 of the protrusion 2 also moves forward and engages with the base 41 of the actuating member 40, causing the actuating member 40 to similarly move forward against the tension coil spring 45. Therefore, the engagement plate 46 fixed to the pin 42 moves forward guided by the guide pin 49 inserted into the elongated hole 47, and disengages the engagement claw 51 of the main horizontal stabilizer 31. Therefore, the tail fin 3 also expands due to the action of the torsion coil spring 50 before and after the protrusion of the protrusion 2.

The following steps may be taken to return the forwardly protruding protruding body 2 and tail fin 3 to their original states.

First, by pushing the protruding body 2 back against the compression coil spring 10, the gently inclined surfaces 11b, 13b of the claws 11, 13 come into contact with each other, and when the protruding body 2 is further pushed, the engaging member 12 gradually moves. go down. When both the steps 11a and 13b reach within the same vertical plane, the engagement member 12 is lifted upward by the elastic restoring force of the tension coil spring 18, and both the steps 11a and 13b abut and engage.

At this point, the actuating member 40 has been returned rearwardly by the tension coil spring 45. At this time, the engaging claw 21 of the interlocking arm 20 and the base 41 of the actuating member 40
It is separated from. Therefore, by rotating the tail fin 3, the engaging pawl 51 of the main horizontal stabilizer 31 engages the engaging pawl 48 of the engaging plate 46 (the surface that the engaging pawl 51 comes into contact with from the outside of the traveling body is shown in FIG. 3). (forming a gently sloped surface) can be pushed forward against the tension coil spring 45. and engaging claw 5
1 and 48 engage with each other, the engagement plate 46 is pulled rearward again to complete engagement with the tail fin 3.

[Effect] As explained above, the running toy of the present invention detects the vertical impact that the running toy receives while running, causes the projecting body of the running toy to protrude, and also prevents the moving toy from receiving the impact. If not, an engaging member is provided to hold the protruding body in a predetermined position on the traveling toy, which prevents accidental operation from outside and further expands play methods and play spaces. It has various effects such as the ability to

In addition, in the above-mentioned embodiment, the protruding body is made into a small piece, but it is not limited to this.
The projecting body may be allowed to completely fly out from the traveling toy. The present invention is applicable to all protrusions that operate at least in response to the vertical force exerted by the running surface of the running toy.

Furthermore, it is also possible to reverse the relationship between the compression and tension coil springs of the embodiments by considering the mounting positional relationship of the components biased by each coil spring. Moreover, although the engaging member is pivotally supported on the rotating shaft, it is also possible to make the engaging member from a spring material and have one end configured as a cantilever lever.
