The air feeding device includes a hollow air cup placed on a base, an exhaust pipe protruding from the tip thereof, and an air feeding device for the moving object. It has a scissor-like holder for removably holding the running body, and is equipped with a locking device for connecting and disconnecting the deformed part of the running body and other parts, and this locking device , consisting of a locking part that can be released by air pressure, and an air intake part for feeding air to the locking part, and this air injection part has an air intake pipe and a cylinder that receive air from the exhaust pipe. The traveling body is provided with a drive device that links the wheels with a gear group, a spring, etc., and the traveling body is linked to the air feeding device by the drive device in a state where it can run. The wheels are held in place by the holders.

〔Example〕

Examples of the present invention will be described below. 1 to 7 show an embodiment of the present invention, in which 1 is a traveling body and 2 is an air feeding device.

In the illustrated example, the running body 1 has the external shape of a car, and is composed of a base 5 on which front wheels 3 and rear wheels 4 are supported, and a body 6 that covers the base 5. It is equipped with a stop device 8. Also, the body 6 has a front part 6a.
A connecting portion 9 is provided at the roof portion, and a spring 10 urges the front portion 6a in the flip-up direction and supports it pivotally. In addition, the front part 6
A hook 11 constituting a locking device 8 is protruded from the inside of a.

The drive device 7 includes a spring 12 and a gear group 13 made up of a plurality of gears, and the gear group 13 is meshed with a pinion 14 provided on the shaft of the rear wheel 4. These springs 12 and gear group 13 are arranged between frames 15, 15 which are erected in parallel on base 5, and one end of spring 12 is connected to frame 15, and the other end is connected to gear group 1.
They are each fixed to the coaxial gear in 3. Further, a biasing plate 16 is fixed coaxially with the spring 12, and a projecting wall portion 17 is formed at the rear end of the front portion 6a of the body 6 with a length capable of coming into contact with the plate 16. That is, when the front part 6a of the body 6 is placed on the base 5, the plate 16
The spring 1 is pushed backward by the projecting wall 17 of the spring 1.
2 to give a torsional deformation. The traveling body 1 uses the restoring force generated by the deformation of the spring 12 as a power source, and the driving force from the spring 12 is transmitted to the rear wheels 4 through meshing between a gear group 13 and a pinion 14.

The locking device 8 has a locking portion consisting of a hook 11 provided on the front portion 6a of the body 6 and a second hook 18 rotatably supported on the base 5, and drives the second hook 18. It is composed of an air inlet part 19 that sends air for the purpose. The second hook 18 is supported between two plates 20, 20 erected on the base 5 together with a spring 21, and the upper end is urged rearward by the urging force of the spring 21. Therefore, when the front part 6a of the body 6 is placed on the base 5, the first hook 11 and the second hook 18 are engaged by the biasing force of the spring 21, and the traveling body 1 maintains the shape of an automobile. That's what I do.

The air injection part 19 consists of a cylinder 22 and a valve body 23 disposed inside the cylinder 22. The cylinder 22 has a cylindrical shape with an air inlet pipe 24 on the rear end side and an exhaust port 25 on the front end side, and protrusions 26, 26 for supporting the front wheel 3 are formed on both sides. The valve body 23 is a disc 27
The valve stem 28 is fixed to the disc 27 and penetrates through the front and rear walls of the cylinder 22. That is, when air is fed forcefully from the air injection pipe 24 by the air feeding device 2, the disc 27 moves backward together with the valve stem 28 due to the pressure of the air, and the tip of the valve stem 28 moves to the second position. The lower end of the first hook 18 is struck and the upper end is rotated forward to release the engagement with the first hook 11.

The windows 29, 29 of the body 6 are formed by fitting prismatic pins 30, 30 inside the body 6, respectively, as shown in the figure, and sandwiching a spring 31 between the pins 30, 30 so as to project outward. It is energized. Although not shown in detail, a recess is formed at the proximal end of the pin 30, and a locking piece 3 is provided upright on the base 5.
2 and presses down the window portion 29.

The air feeding device 2 includes a hollow hemispherical rubber cup 34 placed on the upper surface of a lid-shaped base 33, and a scissor-shaped holder 35 disposed inside the lower surface. An exhaust pipe 38 is provided protruding from the rubber cup 30, and the above-mentioned inlet pipe 24 can be inserted into this exhaust pipe 38. The holder 35 is a pair of members 3
The intersecting portions 40 of 9 and 39 are pivotally supported on the base 33, and a spring 43 is attached to the tip portions 42 and 42 so that the handle portions 41 and 41 are expanded. That is, the handle 4
1 and 41 and expand the tips 42 and 42 against the biasing force of the spring 43, and insert the air inlet 1 into the exhaust pipe 38.
With the inhalation tube 24 of No. 9 inserted, the handle portions 41, 41
When you release your hand 44, the tip 42 of the holder 35,
42 pinches the front wheels 3, 3 of the traveling body 1 and holds it down so that it does not run, and by pinching the handles 41, 41 again and expanding the tips 42, 42, the traveling body 1 can be released. It's summery. In addition, the body 6 of the traveling body 1
An opening 45 is provided in the front part 6a for passing the inlet pipe 24 that protrudes forward to be inserted into the exhaust pipe 38.
is provided.

Next, the deformation and traveling operation in this embodiment will be explained. First, the front part 6a of the body 6 of the traveling body 1 is pulled down, and the two hooks 1 forming the locking attachment 8 are pulled down.
1 and 18 are multiplied together, the plate 16 is rotated by the projecting wall part 17 of the body 6, the spring 12 is twisted and deformed, and running power can be obtained. Next, the air injection pipe 24 of the cylinder 22 is inserted into the exhaust pipe 38 of the air feeding device 2, and the front wheels 3, 3 of the traveling body 1 are held between them by the holder 35.

In this state, when the rubber cup 34 is tapped with the hand 44, the air inside the rubber cup 34 is released into the exhaust pipe 3.
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 holder 35 is operated and the tip end 42 of the holder 35, which was holding the front wheels 3, , 42 are expanded, the rear wheel 4 of the traveling body 1 is rotated by the restoring force of the spring 12 via the gear group 13 and the pinion 14, and the traveling body 1 runs vigorously in a backward state while remaining in the deformed state.

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.

〔Effect of the invention〕

As explained above, the deformable traveling toy according to the present invention is configured to perform the deforming operation of the traveling body using the air ejected by pressing the air cup of the air feeding device, so that the toy can instantly move. By deforming the body and activating the holder that clamps the wheels of the traveling body, the traveling body can enjoy a very interesting movement in which it starts running by its drive device.
