The present invention relates to an automatic shape-changing traveling toy whose shape automatically changes while running by being activated via a stop means.

(Prior Art) Conventionally, this type of shape-changing traveling toy changes its shape by moving a movable member by hand and operating a changing mechanism.

However, if the toy body could automatically change its form, it would provide an unexpectedness different from conventional toys. For this reason, there has been a desire for a toy that automatically changes shape.

(Purpose of the invention) The present invention has been made in view of the above-mentioned circumstances, and specifically aims to propose an automatic shape-changing traveling toy that can automatically change its shape.

(Means to achieve the purpose) As a technical means to achieve the above purpose,
The automatic form traveling toy according to the present invention is a form-changing toy that includes a plurality of structural members and changes its form by moving these structural members, and is characterized by having the following requirements.

(b) The second component is provided so as to be able to rise and fall at almost right angles to the first component that constitutes the toy body and has running wheels. (B) The first component has the above-mentioned a power unit for driving the running wheels; a locking means for locking and holding the second component in an upright state by locking on a locking projection formed on the second component; and a locking means for locking and holding the second component in an upright state; (c) The first component is provided with an elastic means for biasing the second component in the falling direction. (c) The first component is provided with a lock release means having a rack that meshes with a part of gears of the power unit. The locking release means operates together with the rack in conjunction with the rotation of the gear of the power unit to move the locking means in a direction to release the locking from the locking protrusion of the second component. Moving (action and effect of the invention) According to the above configuration, when one form is configured with the second component standing up with respect to the first component, the power unit moves the vehicle. When the wheels are driven to make the toy run, the unlocking means is activated in conjunction with the rotation of the gears of the power unit.
The locking means of the first component is moved to release the lock between the locking means and the locking protrusion of the second component. For this reason, the second component collapses from the upright position approximately at right angles by the elastic means and forms part of the other form.

In this way, since the shape automatically changes during running, it is possible to provide a traveling toy that changes shape in an unexpected and interesting manner.

When the power unit a operates and the sliding plate 44 moves together with the rack 46 in conjunction with the rotation of the gear 41, the locking piece 45 provided on the lower surface of the tip of the supporting member 44b of the sliding plate 44 engages the guide hook piece. 51 and pushes the guide hook piece 51 inward, so the tip of the swinging member 43 moves inward around the support shaft 47, and the locking protrusion piece 43
The locked state between a and the locking portion 48 is released.

Since the automatic shape-changing traveling toy A is constructed as described above, when using it, first, as shown in FIG. Let it run. At this time, since the gear 41 protruding from the lower surface of the power unit a and the rack 46 provided on the sliding member 42 of the locking means b are engaged, the sliding member 4
2 is pulled back toward you, and the locking piece 45 provided on the bottom surface of the tip of the support member 44b integrally formed with the sliding member 42 pushes away the guide hook piece 51 of the swinging member 43. Therefore, the swinging member 43
rotates around the support shaft 47, and the locking state between the locking protrusion 43a and the locking protrusion 48 provided on the lower leg 2b is released, and the leg member 2 is attached to the leg member 2. The body member 1 is pushed forward by the elastic force of the torsion spring 27. At the same time, the lower end of the swinging rod 30 attached to the lower leg portion 2b via the shaft 30a comes into contact with an engaging protrusion (see FIG. 3b) provided on one side of the leg member 3, and this Since the movable rod 30 rotates about the shaft 30a and its tip moves forward, the locked state with the body member 1 is released, and the body member 1 is moved downward by the elastic force of the spring 23. It comes into contact with the tip of the thigh 2b. At this time, the main wing member 1 attached to the fuselage member 1 is in the state shown by the dotted line in FIG.

1b is also released, and the main wing members 11, 11 are rotated 180° by the elastic force of the spring 12.
At the same time, the locked state between the locking pawl 5a of the folded nose section 5 and the locking groove 55 is similarly released and unfolded forward. In this way, it can be converted into a jet aircraft configuration.

In addition, when changing from this jet machine form to a robot form, each member may be folded in the opposite manner to the above.

As mentioned above, when the automatic form-changing traveling toy A changes from the robot form to the jet machine form, the power unit a disposed within the leg member 3 and the lock release means c operate in conjunction with each other, so that the toy A can move. The leg members can be automatically changed from an upright state to a collapsed state while remaining in the same state, and the change process can be expected to be unexpected, something that has never been seen before.
