Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a selection gear selection operation which can be selectively linked to a drive mechanism for driving a drive wheel provided on a toy body and an operation mechanism for operating arms, legs and the like. The present invention relates to a moving toy that can be performed from outside the toy body.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Heretofore, various types of motion toys have been used in which the driving force of a drive motor is transmitted to a drive wheel through a drive mechanism to run, or as a motion toy in which an arm or leg is operated via the motion mechanism. Things are invented and known.

[0003]

However, these moving toys have a simple movement and are uninteresting, and there is a tendency to get tired immediately.

The present invention has been made in view of the above-mentioned circumstances, and in particular, it is possible to make a surprising and interesting change in running, and to obtain a new idea in which the arm part can also obtain a strange and changeable movement. Its purpose is to propose a motion toy made based on.

[0005]

[Means for Solving the Problems] As means for solving the above problems, the motion toy according to the present invention is characterized by having the following requirements. (A) The toy body is provided with a drive mechanism for driving the drive wheels, an operation mechanism for operating the arms, legs, etc., and a selection gear selectively linked to these mechanisms. The selection gear provided on the toy body is formed so that it can be selectively held in linkage with the above two mechanisms by a positioning member that is detachable from the outside of the toy body.

[0006]

As described above, according to the motion toy of the present invention, the positioning gear that is detachable from the outside of the toy body selects the selection gear in the toy body as the drive mechanism and the motion mechanism. Can be linked to each other. As a result, the toy body can be made to travel through the drive wheels in various ways, or the arms, legs, etc. provided on the toy body can be made to perform strange movements to enjoy the game. . Also, since the positioning member can be removed,
It doesn't get in the way of playing.
