8. It is fed into the cylinder 22 through the air injection pipe 24. The air that entered the cylinder 22 is transferred to the valve body 23.
The valve stem 28 strongly presses the lower end of the hook 18 to rotate it and disengage the tip from the hook 11.

When the hooks 11 and 18 are unlocked, the front portion 6a of the body 6 is rotated upward by the biasing force of the spring 10, and the traveling body 1 is deformed as shown. Further, the windows 29, 29 of the body 6 are also connected to the pin 30 and the locking piece 3.
2, the traveling body 1 protrudes laterally and deforms as if it were a robot. At this time, the spring 12 remains torsionally deformed due to the friction between the rear wheel 4 and the running surface, and in this state, the retainer 35 is operated and the locked retainer that was holding the front wheels 3 is removed. When the tips 42, 42 of 35 are expanded, the rear wheel 4 is rotated by the restoring force of the spring 12 through the gear group 13 and the pinion 14, and the vehicle 1 runs vigorously in the deformed state. do.

In the illustrated example, the front part 6a of the body is not provided with any particular shape or pattern, but if a face or the like is drawn, for example, in the arrow A section, the fun of the transformable toy will be increased. It goes without saying that the front and rear portions of the traveling body 1 may be reversed from the illustrated example.

[Effects of the invention] As explained above, the traveling toy according to the present invention uses a single spring to perform traveling and deforming motions, so it can travel and deform simply by folding the movable part of the traveling body. This has the effect of allowing the user to easily enjoy the very interesting motion of transforming the vehicle in an instant and starting to run as it is.
