Description

[Detailed description of the invention] (Field of industrial application) This invention relates to a picture puzzle with a moving toy, and it is possible to very easily change the running path of the moving toy in a picture puzzle that forms a set of pictures. In particular, the present invention relates to a picture puzzle with a driving toy that is suitable as an educational toy for younger children.

(Prior art) Traditionally, in the inlay puzzles that form a group picture,
The type of inlaid puzzle that makes the moving toy move is
The applicant has already registered utility model No. 1086895.
It is registered as a number. This inset puzzle had a running track base made of transparent synthetic resin covered over the patterned surface of the inset puzzle, and a driving vehicle was driven on this track base.

In addition, a type of track puzzle that forms a combination of running paths for the driving vehicle to run,
For example, as in the washer described in Japanese Utility Model Publication No. 44-28916, two types of washer, a square washer and a right isosceles triangle are formed, and a linear or curved washer recessed on the washer is formed. A washer puzzle is known in which raceway grooves are appropriately combined to form an endless track.

On the other hand, as a driving vehicle for running a bearing track, a running vehicle used in a game device described in JP-A-51-56355 and a racing game device described in JP-A-56-6141 is used. There is.

(Problems to be Solved by the Invention) However, the former type of puzzle that the applicant previously registered had the following problems.

This is because in this type of puzzle, the running path for the driving toy is completed at the same time as the inset puzzle that forms the set is completed.
The problem is that the pattern of the running path in one completed set is limited to one pattern. Therefore, in this type of puzzle, when the drive toy is made to run after the inset puzzle is completed, play is added, but the pattern of both the set and the running path upon completion is limited. This caused problems such as the lack of variety in play, making it easy for younger age groups to get bored of playing with it.

Furthermore, the drive vehicle used in this toy has a sliding piece on the bottom and a contact receiver inside, and uses its own weight to slide the sliding piece into elastic contact with the contact receiver, and to attach the front wheel that is inserted into the track. The vehicle is driven by Therefore, if the track has an extreme curve, the sliding pieces may fall into the track, or the drive wheels inside the track may come into contact with the inner wall of the track, which impedes the smooth running of the driven vehicle. However, it was inconvenient for younger people to handle, and there was also the problem that the shape of the course that could be drawn with the trajectory was extremely limited.

On the other hand, in the latter type of puzzle, two types of raceways are combined in an advanced manner to form an endless track or the like of an appropriately shaped shape. Therefore, in this type of puzzle, the fun is in forming a creative trajectory, and the way the trajectory itself is played is fundamentally different from the former type of inlaid puzzle. Furthermore, since this washer combines two types of washer, one for square and one for right isosceles triangles, it is only effective as a toy for those who have the intelligence to handle isosceles right triangles; It is used as a toy for an even older age group than those using toys. For this reason, the latter raceway was inappropriate as an educational toy for younger age groups.

Furthermore, all of these conventional puzzle toys
In order to increase the durability of the track, hard synthetic resin materials are used for the track forming the track.
However, with puzzle toys made of such hard synthetic resin materials, even the slightest corners can injure hands and fingers, making them extremely dangerous for toys to be handled by young people.

In addition, all of the conventional drive vehicles that run on bearing tracks are provided with a pair of left and right drive wheels, so none of these drive vehicles can change the running direction by themselves. That is, the game device used in the game device described in JP-A-51-56355 changes the running course of the game object by rotating the track itself on which the game object, which is a driving vehicle, runs. Therefore, in order to change the traveling direction of the drive vehicle, there is a disadvantage that an extremely large number of mechanisms are required to rotate the truck.

Further, the traveling vehicle used in the dacing game device described in Japanese Utility Model Publication No. 56-6141 has a structure in which a guide pin protruding from the bottom plate of the traveling vehicle is inserted into a groove in the traveling path. However, since the driving wheels are provided so as to move in one direction regulated by a pair of left and right guide walls in the form of rails, the running direction of the vehicle itself cannot be changed. Therefore,
The course that the vehicle is expected to travel on has to be a course due to the guide wall that regulates the course, and it is impossible for the vehicle itself to travel on the track on the raceway while turning in an unexpected direction. It was impossible.

Therefore, in order to solve the above-mentioned problems, this idea was devised as something that would particularly arouse the interest of younger age groups and be suitable as an educational toy for younger age groups. Moreover, even after the composition is completed, it is possible to easily change the route within the composition, and the driving toy itself can unexpectedly change the route within the composition. To provide a picture puzzle with a moving toy that moves while changing directions, exhibits interesting movements, and is extremely safe even when used by people of a younger age group.

(Means for solving the problem) In order to solve the above-mentioned problem, this invention is based on a rail groove 3 that forms a running track on the pattern side of the inset puzzle that draws a part of the completed group picture and combines them with each other. With the completion of the inset puzzle design,
In the inset puzzle for driving a driving toy 2 consisting of a paper running roadbed 1 forming an endless track by the running track, and a driving toy 2 self-propelled along the rail groove 3, the driving toy 2 has the following features: A rotatable wheel support 8 connected to a drive mechanism includes a guide pin 12 that is inserted into the rail groove 3 and slides, and this guide pin 1.
A driving wheel 10 provided on one side of the rail groove 2 and abutting against the upper edge of the opening of the rail groove 3 to cause the driven toy 2 to run in one direction; , and an auxiliary wheel 11 that can freely rotate on the upper edge of the opening of the rail groove 3 as the driving wheel 10 moves; The means for solving the problem consists of a connecting track board 1A arranged at the four corners of the puzzle, and a plurality of movable track boards 1B connectable to the connecting track board 1A and changing the running track.

(Function) According to this invention, the connecting roadbed 1A of the running roadbed 1
By combining these, a running track is formed along with a predetermined picture pattern, design, etc.

The travel track is then changed by moving the replaceable mobile track base 1B within the space surrounded by the connecting track bases 1A at the four corners.

The driving toy 2 is mounted on the running roadbed 1 on one side of the guide pin 12 inserted into the rail groove 3 of the running roadbed 1.
rotates and the drive toy 2 travels.

Further, when the guide pin 12 is located at a branch point of the running track or comes into contact with an obstacle on the running track, the auxiliary wheels 11 are idled on the running track 1, and the wheel support base 8 is moved by the driving force of only the driving wheels 10. rotates. The moving direction of the driven toy 2 changes by changing the position of the driving wheels 10 provided on the wheel support stand 8.

(Example) Hereinafter, an example of this invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings.

Reference numeral 1 shown in the figure is a running road board, and reference numeral 2 is a driving toy.

The running roadbed 1 further includes fitting joints 4 that can be fitted into and removed from each other.
A connecting trackbed 1A arranged at least at four corners, and a plurality of movable trackbeds 1 that can be freely connected to the connecting trackbed 1A and change the running track.
These running track boards 1 are combined to form a single running track board P that can freely form several endless tracks. Then, on the surface of the combined running road board P, in addition to the completed running track, decorations 5 according to themes suitable for this running track are provided. For example, anthropomorphic driving toy 2
Pictures and patterns of parks, bridges, etc. are applied to create a promenade for people to take a walk, and the shape of the drive toy 2 is modeled after an animal or popular character such as a penguin, panda, koala, or otter.
As shown in FIG. 6, the running track on the running track board P is configured like a maze, and the game is played in which the driving toy 2 is run from the start point to the goal point. It is also possible to provide this so that it becomes a key point for the driving toy 2 to complete the race. By doing this, it is possible to provide games with even more interesting features. In addition to this, it goes without saying that various variations of the puzzle can be formed by changing the combination of the running road board P and the running track, the type of driving toy 2, or the decorations 5, etc. Furthermore, the shape of the driving toy 2 may be any shape, such as imitating animals, popular characters, or vehicles such as fire engines and motorcycles.

The connecting track bases 1A, which constitute a part of the track base 1, are arranged at least at the four corners of the fitted picture puzzle, and have several different shapes, each of which fits into its own side edge at an appropriate position. It has a joint 4. The illustrated fitting joint 4 has a substantially wedge-shaped joint protrusion 4.
A and a notch-shaped joint recess 4B that fits into the joint protrusion 4A, and one of each is provided on a different side edge of the connecting track base 1A, and the joint protrusion of the adjacent connecting track base 1A The connecting track bases 1A are connected to each other by fitting the portion 4A and the joint recess 4B (see FIG. 2). At this time, the installation position of the fitting joint 4 provided on the connection trackbed 1A and the connection trackbed 1A
By setting the intersection position of the side edge and the rail groove 3 at a fixed position and providing compatibility between similar connecting trackbeds 1A, the number of combinations of the connecting trackbeds 1A is increased, You can make the game more complex.

On the other hand, a plurality of movable trackbeds 1B constituting the remaining portion of the trackbed 1 are formed so as to be connectable to the connecting trackbed 1A so as to change the running track. The illustrated movable trackbeds 1B have interchangeable shapes, and the running track can be changed by moving these movable trackbeds 1B within a predetermined space. And this moving track board 1B
has a square shape, and different running tracks are formed by rail grooves 3 extending from predetermined positions on the peripheral edge (see Fig. 3).

As the material for the running roadbed 1, it is planned that cardboard 13 forming the height of the rail grooves 3 will be joined at intervals on a bottom paper 14 forming the bottom of the running roadbed 1.

The drive toy 2 includes a rotatable wheel support 8 connected to a predetermined drive mechanism, and a guide pin 12 that is inserted into the rail groove 3 and slides thereon. Furthermore, this wheel support stand 8 has a driving wheel 10 provided on one side with a guide pin 12 that contacts the upper edge of the opening of the rail groove 3 and causes the driving toy 2 to run in one direction, and a driving wheel 10 at an opposing position. The above-mentioned driving toy 2 is arranged in
An auxiliary wheel 11 is provided which supports the driving wheel 10 and is freely rotatable at the upper edge of the opening of the rail groove 3 as the driving wheel 10 moves. In the illustrated example, a spring-powered device is planned. A pinion 7 connected to a spring-type drive mechanism that accumulates rotational force by a wind-up knob 6 and a wheel support 8 rotatable around the axis of the pinion 7 are provided. Auxiliary wheel 1 engages and freely rotates

According to this drive toy 2, rotational force is accumulated through the wind up knob 6, and the guide pin 12 is moved into the rail groove 3.
It can be easily run by inserting it into the vehicle (see Figure 5). In addition, the drive toy 2 may be one whose driving force is a motor using a dry battery or the like.

(Effects of the invention) This invention achieves its original purpose by being configured as described above.

That is, the track base 1 has fitting joints that can be freely fitted and removed from each other, and can be connected to the connecting track bases 1A arranged at the four corners of the fitted picture puzzle to change the running track. Since it is composed of a plurality of movable track boards 1B, one running route is formed by completing a set of pictures, and even after the set of pictures is completed, the running route can be easily changed within the set of pictures. becomes possible. From this, it is possible to give the puzzle toy an arbitrariness that is not found in conventional inset puzzles, and in combination with the play with the moving toy 2 on the running track, it does not foster the creativity of the player through play. Furthermore, it becomes difficult to get tired of even if it is used repeatedly.

Further, the drive toy 2 is provided with a rotatable wheel support base 8 connected to the drive mechanism, and a guide pin 12 that is inserted into the rail groove 3 and slides thereon. Furthermore, this wheel support stand 8 has this guide pin 12.

At the same time, the wheel support base 8 rotates around the guide pin 12 that hits this obstacle by the driving force of the driving wheel 10, and the traveling direction of the driving toy 2 can be changed. As a result, the movement of the drive toy 2 arouses the interest of younger age groups, and even after the group picture is completed, it is possible to increase interest in changing the running path within the group picture. It is suitable as an educational toy.

Furthermore, a part of the completed set is drawn, and a rail groove 3 is provided on the design side of the inlay puzzle to be combined together to form a running track, and as the design of the inset puzzle is completed, an endless track is formed by the running track. By forming the paper running road board 1, it is extremely safe whether it is used as a set-up or a running road. Moreover, it has the advantage that it can be provided at an extremely low cost, and that it is possible to easily apply patterns and tracks that are preferred by younger age groups using a variety of printing methods.

In this way, according to this idea, one running route is formed by completing a set of pictures, and even after the set of pictures is completed, it is possible to easily change the running route within the set of pictures. The driving toy itself moves in an interesting way by changing the running path in the set in unexpected directions, and it is extremely safe to use either as a set or as a running track. In particular, it has various practical effects such as being suitable as an educational toy for younger children.
