[Detailed description of the device]

[0001]

[Industrial applications]

 The present invention relates to a track-traveling toy, and more specifically, a track-tracking toy that produces a predetermined sound when passing through a predetermined position of the track regardless of the direction of the running body and running in any direction of the track. Regarding

[0002]

[Prior Art]

 Conventionally, in a track running toy consisting of a track and a track running on the track, a switch connected to a sounding device is provided on the bottom surface of the track so as to project, and the switch is provided at an appropriate point on the track. A toy is known in which a protruding piece that engages with a toy is provided so that a sound is generated when the traveling body passes through the location.

[0003]

[Problems to be solved by the device]

 It is conceivable to make different sounds for the above conventional ones when passing through a plurality of places. That is, a plurality of switches are arranged in the left-right direction on the bottom surface of the traveling body, and a sounding device that emits a different sound corresponding to the operation of each switch is mounted on the traveling body. By arranging the protruding piece at a position that engages with the switch, when the traveling body passes through each location, for example, a warning sound of the railway crossing will be given at the portion set as the railway crossing when the traveling body of the train runs. It is conceivable to have the students make pronunciations that are suitable for each location. However, in orbit running toys such as trains, the front and back directions of the running body are fixed, and there are some that cannot run backwards. I often want to enjoy. However, when multiple switches are arranged side by side as described above, if the direction of the traveling body is reversed and the vehicle travels in the opposite direction, the switch of the traveling body and the protrusion on the track in the case of traveling in the forward direction. The engagement relationship with one side will be reversed due to reversal, and the pronunciation when passing through each place will be different from that in the case of traveling in the forward direction. Causes a situation where the alarm sound of the railroad crossing does not sound. Therefore, there is a problem when playing with the traveling direction changed and the traveling direction reversed. The object of the present invention is to eliminate the above-mentioned inconvenience, and even when the traveling body is run in any direction by changing the direction of the traveling body, a predetermined sound is generated when passing through a predetermined position of the trajectory. It is to provide an orbiting toy that is adapted to be performed. Furthermore, in addition to the above-mentioned purpose, a track-traveling toy in which a plurality of switches can be efficiently provided within a limited width of the traveling body and the track so that a predetermined sound can be produced at more points of the track. To provide.

[Action]

 Explaining the relationship between the switch of the traveling body and the projecting piece on the track with reference to FIG. 4, which shows a plan view, there is a switch 12 at the center of the traveling body 1 in the left-right direction and a switch at the non-central portion. 11 is located, and the first projecting piece 31a engageable with the switch 11 and the second projecting piece 31b are positioned at 180-degree rotational symmetry with respect to the first projecting piece 31a. Since it is provided in the unit body 25, when the traveling body travels from left to right in the figure, the switch 11 located at the non-central portion in the left-right direction of the traveling body engages with the first protruding piece 31a, The switch 11 engages the second projecting piece 31b when the orbit of the traveling body is changed (broken line portion) to travel from the left to the right direction, and the switch 11 passes through the orbit unit 25 in either the forward or reverse direction. When this is done, a predetermined sound is produced by the switch 11.

Further, referring to FIG. 5, the first switch 11a and the second switch 11b, which have different pronunciations, respectively, are provided when the traveling body 1 travels from left to right in the figure. Although it is at a position where it engages with the first protruding piece 31a and the second protruding piece 31b, when the traveling body 1 passes through the first track unit body 25a, first, the second switch 11b and the second protruding piece When the first switch 11a and the first projecting piece 31a provided at a position displaced in the orbit advancing direction are engaged, this is prioritized. When the traveling body 1 passes through the second track unit body 25b by sounding by the switching of the first switch 11a, first, the first switch 11a and the first projecting piece 31a are engaged. Even if it is not pronounced, then immediately When the second switch 11b engages with the second projecting piece 31b provided at a position displaced in the direction of travel of the track, this is prioritized and sounding is performed by the switching of the second switch 11b. Then, when the traveling body is turned to travel in the opposite direction (broken line portion), the engagement between the protruding piece located on the traveling direction side and the first or second switch is prioritized as in the above case. That is, when passing through the second track unit 25b, the engagement of the second switch 11b and the first projecting piece 31a is prioritized, and the second switch 11b produces a sound by switching. When passing through one track unit 25a, the engagement between the first switch 11a and the second projecting piece 31b is prioritized and the sound is generated by the switching of the first switch 11a. When passing a vehicle, a predetermined sound is always produced regardless of the direction of travel. The above description has been given with an example in which the engagement with the projecting piece provided at the position on the track advancing direction side is given priority, but the engagement with the projecting piece provided on the side opposite to the track advancing direction is given priority. The same effect can be obtained by using the prioritized electronic sounding device.
