Description

[Detailed description of the invention] (Field of industrial application) The present invention is a traveling toy that can be easily attached to and detached from various types of traveling toys, and whose appearance can be significantly changed by attaching and detaching the toy. It relates to an exterior decoration structure.

(Prior art and its problems) Some conventional running toys equipped with a power source such as a spring have a configuration that can be reversibly transformed from a running toy form to another form such as a robot. There is.

This type of traveling toy has a configuration that allows it to change its form in advance, and in addition to the configuration required for a traveling toy, it also has parts (head part) to realize other forms such as a robot. , arms, legs, etc.).

On the other hand, it is impossible to transform and play with a toy that was created simply as a running toy without a shape-changing mechanism, and it was necessary to purchase a separate toy equipped with a transformation mechanism in order to play with transformation. .

(Technical issues of the invention) This invention was developed in view of the above circumstances, and is capable of being easily attached to and detached from various types of traveling toys, and the appearance can be significantly changed by the attachment/detachment operation. The purpose of this paper is to propose an exterior decoration structure for a traveling toy that can be used to decorate the exterior of a traveling toy.

(Means for Solving the Problems) In order to solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the exterior decoration structure for a traveling toy according to the present invention is a decorative means that is detachably attached to the traveling toy, and includes:
It is characterized by having the following requirements.

(a) The above-mentioned decorative structure shall consist of multiple structural members that can be divided and connected.

(b) Each of the constituent members is assembled so as to surround the outer periphery of the running toy, and a spring is interposed between the running toy and the constituent members.

(c) At least one of the connecting parts of each of the above-mentioned connecting members is provided with a release member for releasing the connection.

(Operations and Effects of the Invention) As described above, according to the exterior decoration structure for a traveling toy of the present invention, the connecting member constituting the exterior decoration structure does not directly engage with the traveling toy, but is connected via a spring. Since it maintains the engagement state with the traveling toy, the distance between it and the traveling toy can be varied by the expansion and contraction of the spring, and therefore it can be attached regardless of the size of the traveling toy. Therefore, it has the advantage that it can be easily attached to and detached from various types of traveling toys, and the appearance can be significantly changed by the attachment and detachment operation.

(Example) Hereinafter, the decorative structure for a traveling toy of the present invention will be described in detail.

Figure 1 is a perspective view of an example in which the decorative structure of the present invention is attached to a running toy, Figure 2 is a cross-sectional plan view of the running toy, and Figure 3 shows the installation procedure (or disassembly mode) for the running toy. The explanatory drawing and FIG. 4 are front sectional views showing the installed state.

The decorative structure 1 consists of a pair of U-shaped connecting members 2 and 3, with ends 2a and 2b of the connecting member 2.
3a and 3b of the connecting member 3 are configured to be able to be connected and separated from each other. The connecting members 2 and 3 constitute an annular structure 1 by being connected at each end. Elastic members 4 and 5 are disposed inside the connecting members 2 and 3, respectively, and wheels 17 are rotatably provided at the front and rear of the lower portions.

The front ends 2a, 3a of each connecting member 2, 3 are removably connected by a desired connection structure, but in this embodiment, as shown in the figure, one end 2a is elastically movable back and forth. At the same time, a locking hole 8 for locking and holding the hook 7 is formed at the other end 3a.

The rear end portions 2b, 3b of each connecting member 2, 3 have a hook 9 and a locking hole 10, similar to the front end portions 2a, 3a.
It is composed of.

Note that the above-mentioned connection structure is only one example, and other connection means may be used. Alternatively, the rear connecting portion may be connected by a hinge or the like. In addition, the hooks 7 and 9, the locking hole 8,
The shape of 10 is not limited to that shown in the drawings, and may be any shape as long as it has a connection structure that can be elastically connected and separated.

A pressed projection (uncoupling member) 11 is protruded from the front surface of the front end 2a having the hook 7, and by pushing this projection 11 inward (rearward), the hook 7 becomes elastic. It is configured to be deformed backwards and disengaged from the locking hole 10. Therefore, in conjunction with this release operation, each connecting member 2, 3 is opened by the expanding force of the elastic members 4, 5 stretched between the body of the traveling toy and each connecting member 2, 3. Since the connecting members 2 and 3 are biased in the outer radial direction, they are disassembled and separated.

Note that by releasing the front coupling mechanism, the rear coupling mechanism is also released, and the separation operation described above is realized.

Reference numeral 12 denotes a cover member that covers the top surface of the traveling toy 6, and the locking pieces 13, 13 are locked in locking holes 14, 14 formed in the inner walls of the respective connecting members 2, 3. The connecting member 2 in the connected state,
It is configured so that it can be attached to 3. An elastic member 16 is disposed on the back side of the ceiling surface of the cover member 12 and presses the cover member 12 upward at all times, and the connecting members 2 and 3 are disassembled and the locking by the locking holes 14 and 14 is released. The cover member 12 is configured to be detached when the cover member 12 is removed. The cover member 12 has a shape that resembles the head of a robot, for example.

Reference numeral 20 denotes an arm member that is detachably attached to the outer wall surface of each connecting member 2, 3, and together with a cover member in the shape of a robot head forms a robot shape.

In the above configuration, by bringing the connecting members 2, 3 close to each other from both sides of the traveling toy 6 and locking the hooks 7, 9 in the locking holes 8, 10, respectively, the connecting members 2, 3 are attached around the traveling toy 6. The decorative structure 1 is constructed by connecting the two. At this time, the elastic members 4 and 5 are pressed against both sides of the traveling toy 6. Furthermore, by pressing the cover member 12 onto the traveling toy 6, the locking pieces 13, 13 are inserted into the locking hole 1.
4 and 14. At this time,
The elastic member 16 is pressed onto the top surface of the traveling toy.

In this state, it can be driven by the wheels 17, but at that time, the pressed protrusion (uncoupling member) 11 located at the front of the structure 1 hits an obstacle such as a wall with more than a predetermined force. When they collide with each other, the pressed projection 11 itself elastically deforms rearward, causing the hook 7 to disengage from the locking hole 10. Then, the third
As shown in the figure, the elastic members 4 and 5 between the traveling toy 6 and each of the connecting members 2 and 3 are expanded to push each of the connecting members 2 and 3 outwardly, allowing them to be disassembled. At the same time, the cover member 12 is also pushed upward by the elastic member 16 and removed.

In addition, the connecting members 2 and 3 constituting the decorative structure 1
does not directly engage with the traveling toy, but maintains the engagement state with the traveling toy via the elastic members 4 and 5, so the distance between the toy and the traveling toy can be varied by the expansion and contraction of the spring. Therefore, it can be installed regardless of the size of the moving toy. For this reason,
It can be easily attached to and detached from various types of traveling toys, and the appearance can be significantly changed by attaching and detaching the device.

Furthermore, since the number of component parts is small and the structure is simple, manufacturing costs can be reduced.
