Description

[Detailed description of the invention] (Industrial field of application and purpose of the invention) This invention relates to a traveling toy in which a part of the toy component protrudes outward from a predetermined position when the toy component is traveling. The purpose of the present invention is to propose a running toy that allows a certain time difference between the end of an operation for projecting and the actual projecting.

(Example) An example of implementing this invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.

In the figure, symbol A indicates a running toy. This traveling toy A has a vehicle body provided with movable structural members and a control member that controls the operation of these structural members.

First, let's talk about the movable components of the vehicle body 1.
A bonnet member 2 is provided at the front of the vehicle, and rear fender members 3, 3, rear cover members 4, and a stabilizer member 5 are provided at the rear.
Further, a missile launching member 6 is provided at the lower part of the rear cover members 4, 4. The bonnet member 2 is rotatably attached to the rear end of the front opening 10 of the vehicle body 1 via an elastic member 11 such as a spring, and the rear fender members 3 are attached to one end of the arms 12. It is supported by a shaft 13. The other end portions of the arms 12, 12 are connected to each other through an elastic member 14 such as a spring in a state of attraction, and the central portion is pivotably attached 15 to the main body 1.
As a result, the rear fender members 3, 3 are urged outward. The rear cover members 4, 4 are attached to the rear of the vehicle body 1 so as to be rotatable left and right. Next, the stabilizer member 5 is attached to a guide rail 16 provided at the center of the rear portion of the vehicle body 1 so as to be slidable in the longitudinal direction, and a pressing portion 17 is formed on one side of the front portion. As shown in FIG. 3, the missile launching member 6 has a cylindrical portion 6a provided at a lower portion thereof fitted into a guide rod 39 of the vehicle body 1 so as to be vertically movable. In this way, the movable members such as the bonnet member 2, the rear fender member 3, and the rear cover member 4 constitute a part of the exterior of the vehicle body together with the vehicle body 1. An actuation mechanism is provided that projects outward from the vehicle body 1. A well-known and commonly used mechanism may be used as this operating mechanism.

Next, a control member 7 is provided inside the vehicle main body 1 to operate a mechanism for causing the movable member to project outward from the main body 1. First, a guide member (not shown) is provided at the front and rear of the central portion of the vehicle body 1, and a control member 7 is slidably mounted within the guide member, as shown in FIGS. 4 to 6. This control member 7 is formed by forming side pieces 21 and 22 in a U-shape on both sides of a front piece 20. A first engagement hole 23 is formed at the tip of the front piece 20, and a first engagement hole 23 is formed on one side of the front piece 20. A second engagement hole 24 is formed at the rear end of the piece 21, and first engagement protrusions 25, 25 are formed on the front outer surfaces of the side pieces 21, 22. Further, a second engagement protrusion 26 is formed on the outer surface of one side piece 21 of the control member 7, and a third engagement protrusion 26 is formed outwardly on the rear end of the other side piece 22. A portion 27 is provided in a protruding manner. Furthermore, a rack 28 is formed on the inner surface of this side piece 22 along the direction of movement of the control member 7. The control member 7 is connected to the vehicle body 1 via a spring member 29, whereby the control member 7 is biased toward the rear of the vehicle body 1.

As shown in FIG. 2, the upper end of a lever 30 rotatably mounted on the vehicle body 1 is engaged with the first engagement hole 23 at the front end of the control member 7. As shown in FIG.
The lower end of this lever 30 is an L-shaped engaging member 31.
It is engaged with the protrusion 32 of. The engaging member 31 is linked to the vehicle body 1 via a spring member 33 and is always biased rearward, and an engaging portion 34 is formed at the upper end of the engaging member 31, and the engaging portion 34 is similar to that described above. The front end of the bonnet member 2 is engaged with the front end of the bonnet member 2. The bonnet member 2 is normally engaged with the engagement member 31, but when the engagement member 31 moves forward, the engagement is disengaged and the bonnet member 2 is released from the restraint of the biasing force of the elastic member 11 and springs up.

A push-up rod 35 is engaged with the second engagement hole 24 of the control member 7, as shown in FIG. This push-up rod 35 is disposed below the missile launching member 6, and is pivotally mounted 36 to the vehicle body 1. The tip of this push-up rod 35 is in contact with the lower surface of the missile launching member 6. The first engagement protrusions 25, 25 on both sides of the control member 7 are in engagement and sliding contact with the inner surfaces of the arms 12, 12 of the rear fender members 3, 3.
Note that the first engaging protrusions 25, 25 are set to be located at a rearward position than the pivot portion 15 of the arm 12 at the rearmost portion.

As shown in FIGS. 6 and 7, the second engagement protrusion 26 of the control member 7 is provided at a position facing the engagement member 40 pivotally attached to the vehicle body 1. The engaging member 40 has a tapered end 40a and is pushed up by a spring member 41.
Due to this spring force, the other end portion 40b is connected to the driving wheel 42,
42 is engaged with a gear 44 fixed to an axle 43. When the control member 7 slides and the second engagement protrusion 26 comes into contact with the end of the engagement member 40, the end is pushed down, while the other end rises and the gear 44 The engagement with is released.

The third engagement protrusion 27 of the control member 7 engages with the rear end of a rack member 45 provided on the vehicle body 1 so as to be reciprocally movable, as shown in FIG. This rack member 45 is always urged rearward by an elastic member 46, and the rack 45a is attached to the vehicle body 1.
The rotation of the gear 47 is further transmitted to another rotary gear 48 provided on the main body 1, and then to a crown gear 49 also provided on the main body 1. This crown gear 49 is the drive wheel 42
It meshes with a gear 50 fixed to an axle 43. As a result, when the control member 7 is pressed and slid forward, the third engagement protrusion 27 engages with the rack member 47.
When the rack member 45 is advanced to the position shown in FIG. 6 and the pressing force on the control member 7 is released, the rack member 45
is retracted by the elastic member 46, and at this time, it is transmitted to the gears 47, 48, 49 and 50, so the axle 43 rotates and the drive wheels 42, 42 are driven.

The rack 28 of the control member 7 meshes with a gear 51 provided on the vehicle body 1, as shown in FIGS. It meshes with gears 52, 53, and 54.

Note that the spring member 29 and the plurality of gears 51,
52, 53, and 54 are arranged directly on the surface of the main body 1 formed along the moving direction of the control member 7, respectively.

Further, the rear end portion of one side piece 21 of the control member 7 faces the pressing portion 17 of the stabilizer member 5.

Next, how the traveling toy A having the above configuration is used will be explained. First, when the stabilizer member 5 is pushed forward, the control member 7 is also pushed forward by the pressing portion 17 as shown in FIG. 5 from the first position shown in FIG. 4 to the second position shown in FIG. do. Therefore, when the above-mentioned pressing force is released, the control member 7 moves to the spring member 2.
It retreats due to the pulling force of 9. At this time, Rack 2
8 meshes with gears 51, 52, 53, and 54, so it moves backward slowly. When the control member 7 is retracted, the lever 30 shown in FIG. 2 rotates to actuate the engagement member 31, which disengages from the bonnet member 2 and causes the member 2 to spring upward.

Further, the control member 7 moves back and the second engagement protrusion 2
5 and 25 are the pivot parts 1 of the arm 12 as shown in FIG.
When the rear fender members 3, 3 are moved rearward from position 5, the arms 12, 12 are rotated by the pulling force of the elastic member 14, and the rear fender members 3, 3 are projected outward, as shown in FIG.

Furthermore, as shown in FIG. 3, as the control member 7 retreats, the lever 35 rotates and rises.
The missile launching member 6 is pushed upward, and the member 6 opens the rear cover members 4 to the left and right.

Up until now, the engagement member 40 has been connected to the gear 4 of the axle 43.
4, the axle 43 is not driven. However, near the final return of the control member 7, the engagement protrusion 26 engages the engagement member 40 and releases the engagement, as shown in FIG. The pressure pushes back the rack member 45, and the rotational force of the gear 47 at that time is transmitted to the axle 43, so that the traveling toy A starts running at once.

(Effects of the invention) As explained in detail above, the traveling toy according to the invention includes a car body and a movable component that constitutes a part of the exterior of the car body together with the car body. An operating mechanism is provided inside the vehicle body to cause the member to protrude outward from the vehicle body, and is provided within the vehicle body to move the member between a first position and a second position and to move the member from the second position to the first position. A control member is provided that operates the actuating mechanism when moving to the vehicle body position, and the control member is elastically biased toward the first position by a spring member whose one end is attached to the vehicle body body. is provided with a pressing portion that presses and moves the control member to a second position against the biasing force of the spring member, and furthermore, a rack is formed on the control member along the direction of movement of the control member, and is provided with a plurality of gears that are not meshed with any member other than the rack, and in addition, the spring member and the plurality of gears are each arranged directly on the surface of the vehicle body formed along the moving direction of the control member. It is something.

Therefore, when the control member is pressed and moved to the second position by the pressing portion and then released, the elasticity of the spring member causes the control member to move to the first position, so that the actuating mechanism is activated and the movable component is Projects outward from the vehicle body.

By the way, when the control member moves from the second position to the first position, the rack is engaged with a plurality of gears provided on the vehicle body. Since these gears are not meshed with any member other than the rack, these gears also rotate. In this case, part of the energy imparted to the control member by the elasticity of the spring member is consumed to rotate all the gears, and is further attenuated by the frictional resistance generated between these gears. Therefore, it is consumed in dispensing, so to speak, and the movement of the control member is therefore carried out slowly. Therefore, it takes time for the control member to move from the first position to the second position, and this time difference causes an instantaneous delay in which the movable component protrudes as soon as the control member is released. It is possible to provide a unique driving play that is full of surprises and avoids motion.

In addition, the speed control mechanism in the present invention is composed of a spring member, a rack, and a plurality of gears, but the same speed control effect can be achieved by a structure in which the gears connected to the spring power unit are easily meshed and connected. It can also be obtained by However, in this case it is inevitable that the spring power unit has a certain height due to the diameter of the mainspring itself. Therefore, if there is not enough space in the vertical direction for arranging the speed control mechanism in the main body of the traveling toy, it may not be possible to arrange the spring power unit.

In contrast, according to the present invention, the rack is formed on the control member in the direction of movement thereof, and the spring member and the plurality of gears are formed directly on the surface of the vehicle body, respectively, formed along the direction of movement of the control member. Because of the arrangement, the spring member, rack, and gear can be arranged on substantially the same plane. Therefore, even if the vehicle body of the traveling toy does not have enough space above and below, it can be sufficiently arranged. Moreover, since the structure is simpler than that of a spring power device, the speed regulating effect can be obtained at low cost.
