Description

[Detailed explanation of the idea] [Industrial application field]

This invention mainly stops a wind-up type or other self-propelled toy at the starting line, and
The present invention relates to a starter used for starting, and particularly to a starter that can start a plurality of running toys at the same time.

[Prior art and its drawbacks]

Conventional starters are configured to set and start only one running toy, and have a shape that allows each toy to run independently. Therefore, there is no problem in playing alone. However, this reduces the fun of using a starter by half. The best part of using a starter is that multiple people set their own running toys on the starter, make the start signal, and start the race at the same time. However, with conventional starters, each one is independent as mentioned above, so when multiple people start the starter, they cannot all line up on the same starting line and start the car, which makes it possible to achieve the fair concept. It was difficult to do so. In view of the above points, this invention allows not only individual play, but also multiple running toys that can be easily connected together so that multiple running toys can be lined up on a fair starting line and each person can start the toys. An object of the present invention is to provide a starter for a running toy.

[Means for deciding issues]

In order to achieve the above object, the starter according to this invention forms a base having guide walls on both the left and right sides of the mounting surface on which the running toy is placed, and a side cover on the outer surface of one of the guide walls of the base. a holding member that is provided with a stopping force that resists the starting force of the self-propelled traveling toy and stops the traveling toy at a starting position on the mounting surface of the base; an operating piece to which a player applies force in order to start a running toy that is being stopped; and an interlocking member that transmits the force applied to the operating piece to the holding member and moves it away from the running toy that is stopped. In the starter for a running toy, one of the left and right guide walls is provided with a protrusion at both the front and rear ends of the guide walls on both sides of the base, and the other guide wall is provided with a hole that can be fitted and connected with the protrusion. It is characterized by

[Effect]

If a plurality of starters are prepared and the protrusion of one of the guide walls on both the left and right sides of the base of one starter is fitted into the hole of the other guide wall of the base of the other starter, Multiple starters can be easily connected and the starting lines of each starter can be aligned in a straight line or placed on opposite sides of each other.

【Example】

Next, one embodiment of this invention will be described based on the drawings. As clearly shown in Figure 1, the starter according to this invention basically consists of a base A, a side cover B attached to the side of the base, and is held by the side cover so as to be able to move up and down or rotate freely. It is composed of an operating piece C, a holding member D, an interlocking member E, and a return member F. Each component will be explained in detail below. The base A preferably has a placement surface 1 on which a traveling toy is placed. That is, in the illustrated example, the base A also has the function of stably placing the running toy that stores energy, but the essential mechanism of the base is to place the start mechanism (described later) on the start surface via the side cover B (described later). The purpose is to maintain it in a stable state. The mounting surface 1 is also necessary to place a running toy that has stored energy and to prevent the base from tipping over due to a reaction force when the toy is held down by a holding member D as described later. Guide walls 2 and 3 are provided on both left and right sides of the mounting surface 1 to correctly guide the moving direction of the running toy. A side cover mounting wall 4 is formed by a part of one guide wall 2, and a side cover B is fixed to the outside of this mounting wall. The side cover B is for holding the operation piece C, the holding member D, the interlocking member E, and the return member F, which constitute the start mechanism as described above, so that each of them can make necessary movements. Although the structure for fixing the side cover B to the base A and the structure for attaching the start mechanism constituent members C to F are arbitrary, one example shown in the drawings will be described. A protrusion 6 projecting upward is provided at the center front part of the bottom plate 5 of the side cover B, and left and right side plates 7,
8 are provided with hooks 9 and 10 that protrude forward, and the protrusion 6 is fitted into the small hole 11 formed at the end of the base mounting surface from below. The mounting wall 4 is pressed toward the notches 12 and 13 formed at both left and right ends of the upper part, and the hooks are elastically expanded in opposite directions by both sides of the mounting wall to allow the hooks to cross the mounting wall, and the hook 9 is , 10 are elastically restored and locked to the mounting wall 4 to fix the side cover. The side cover B has three chambers 14, 15, and 16 that open on the surface facing the mounting wall 4, and the walls that shield the left and right chambers 14 and 16 have openings in the opposite direction and above the mounting wall. The wall that shields the central chamber 15 is provided with a hole 19 that opens only in the direction opposite to the mounting wall 4. The left ventricle 14 also has an opening 20 in the upper part, through which the insertion part 21 of the operating piece C is inserted so as to be freely raised and lowered, with the operating part 22 always protruding upward from the side cover B. A shaft 23 protruding from the insertion portion 21 is inserted into the vertical groove 17 so as to be movable up and down. The right ventricle 16 also has an opening 24 at the top, through which the insertion part 25 of the presser member D is inserted so as to be able to rise and fall in the same manner, and a shaft 26 that projects from the insertion part can be moved up and down into the vertical groove 18. It is inserted. Insertion part 25
There is a presser part 2 extending above the mounting surface 1 of the base A.
7 is provided in a protruding manner and is fitted into a notch hole 28 provided in the mounting wall 4 of the base A so as to be movable up and down. Then, a stopper 30 provided at the tip of a support shaft 29 protruding from the center of the interlocking member E is passed through the vertically straight hole 19 of the central chamber 15 in a vertical state, and the interlocking member is slightly rotated from the vertical state. This prevents the stopper 30 from coming out of the hole 19, and the interlocking member is held rotatably. The shafts 23 and 26 of the operating piece C are inserted into elongated holes 31 and 32 provided at both ends of the interlocking member, respectively.
When the operation piece C is raised or lowered, the interlocking member E moves to the support shaft 29.
The holding member D rotates around the center and moves up and down in conjunction with the holding member D. Inside the side cover B, there is further provided a return member F that biases the presser portion 27 of the presser member D so that it is always held at a position below the maximum height of the traveling toy from the mounting surface of the base A. ing.
In the illustrated example, a coil spring is provided in one corner of the left ventricle 14, and the coil spring is housed in a notch 33 formed on one side of the insertion portion 21 of the operating piece, and the upper end of the coil spring is placed in the upper part of the notch. is locked. As a result, the operating piece C is always urged upward, and
In the presser member D, the presser portion 27 is held at the lowest position. FIG. 1 shows the starter in such a state. However, the direction is opposite to that in Figure 2. Next, we will explain how to use this starter with the above configuration and its operation.As illustrated in FIG.
The running toy V connected to the end of the RC and equipped with, for example, a pull-back spring drive body is pulled back in front of the starter to store energy, and the running toy is moved in one direction on the mounting surface, and the operating piece C by pressing the operating part 22 of the presser member D against the force of the return member F, lifting the holding part 27 of the holding member D above the height of the traveling toy, and pulling it back under the holding part, that is, to the starting position. The running toy V is placed, the pressing force is removed from the operation piece C, and the running toy is stopped at the starting position by the restraining force of the holding part 27 of the holding member D. In this case, it is preferable to stop the toy by pressing down on the top surface of the roof of the traveling toy using the presser part, as this prevents the wheels from spinning.
The front part of the traveling toy may be restrained against the advancing force as long as no idling occurs. This completes the preparation for starting the running toy. Then, at the start signal, operate the control panel C.
The user presses down the operating section 22 to start the traveling toy. When the moving toy is stopped by pressing the top surface of its roof, the presser part moves away more smoothly than when the front part of the moving toy is restrained, so a crisp start is possible, and the needle is It has the advantage of being easier and smoother. As shown in FIG. 2, one of the left and right guide walls 2 and 3 has a protrusion 34 on the upper surface of both its front and rear ends.
The other 3 is provided with holes 35 on the upper surface of both its front and rear ends. As a result, as illustrated in Fig. 5A,
By arranging the racing courses side by side, arranging two starters adjacent to each other at the end of each course, and connecting the protrusions 34 of one starter to the holes 35 of the other starter, each starter By easily connecting the starters in a stable state, it is possible to reliably start the traveling toys, for example, at the same time.Also, as illustrated in FIG. By fitting and connecting the protrusion 34 and the hole 35, two traveling toys can be started in opposite directions at the same time.

[Effect of the idea]

As described above, according to this invention, there is provided a holding member that is applied with a stopping force that resists the starting force of a self-propelled traveling toy and stops the traveling toy at a starting position, and a holding member that is stopped at the starting position. Since the toy is equipped with an operating piece to which the player applies force in order to start the toy, and an interlocking member that transmits the force applied to the operating piece to the presser member, a simple action of pressing down on the operating piece can To easily and smoothly stop a self-propelled running toy that stores energy at a starting line, and to start it crisply in response to a start signal. In addition, on the upper surface of both the front and rear ends of the left and right guide walls of the base, one of the left and right guide walls is provided with a protrusion, and the other guide wall is provided with a hole that can be fitted and connected with the protrusion, making it easy to connect. By connecting multiple toys on the same or opposite sides, multiple people can start their own running toys in the same direction from a common starting line, or in opposite directions from different starting lines, in response to a signal. can. Therefore, the race can be judged based on the sensibilities of the players, making the race between a plurality of running toys even more enjoyable.
