Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Background Art] The present invention relates to a traveling toy, and more particularly, to a traveling toy that can be used for play in which a flying member attached to an opponent's traveling toy flies out while controlling the traveling of the traveling toy. It is.

[Prior art]

2. Description of the Related Art There are known running bodies used as toys, ranging from simple ones without a driving source to those using various drive systems such as a spring type and a motor. Even more sophisticated models include those that remotely control the body by wireless or wire. Controlling a running object by wireless or wire is an interesting toy as it allows the user to run the moving object in any direction and enjoy controlling it.

However, this type of conventional traveling toy has the disadvantage that it only allows the traveling body to travel and does not have any other functions, and that it is also a simple toy and can easily become boring.

[Purpose of the invention]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION Accordingly, an object of the present invention is to provide a running toy in which the running of a running body is controlled and enjoyed, and furthermore, other game functions are added to the running body.

The above and other objects and novel features of the present invention include:
It will become clear from the description of this specification and the accompanying drawings.

[Summary of the invention]

A brief overview of typical inventions disclosed in this application is as follows.

That is, the rotational driving force of the drive shaft of the remotely controlled traveling body is transmitted to the driven shaft rotatably supported by the traveling body. This transmission periodically rotates in one direction, and repeatedly moves up and down to the actuating member that is fixed to the driven shaft and projects outside of the traveling body. Further, a flying member is placed on the traveling body and is urged to fly outward by the first elastic member. Further, a latch member that prevents the flying member from flying out by a second elastic member is detachably engaged with the flying member, and a passive member is provided that releases the engagement of the latch member.

Therefore, the actuating member moves up and down as the traveling toy travels. When this actuating member hits the passive member of another traveling toy, it releases the latch member and causes the flying member of the other traveling toy to fly out from the traveling body. In this way, while enjoying the running of the traveling toy by remote control, the player can also enjoy the challenge of approaching the opponent's traveling toy and causing the opponent's flying member to fly out.

〔Example〕

An embodiment of the traveling toy of the present invention will be described below with reference to FIGS. 1 to 4. .

FIG. 1 is an overall perspective view showing an embodiment of a traveling toy.

In the figure, reference numeral 1 indicates a running body, and this running body 1 is 6
Book legs 2, 2. It moves forward and backward to the left while moving...

This movement will be described later. Further, reference numeral 3 denotes a remote control device, and a power switch 31 and a direction control lever 32 are provided. The operations of the power switch 31 and the direction control lever 32 are transmitted to the traveling body 1 via the cable 33.

The cable 33 is connected to a motor 4- provided within the traveling body 1. The motor 4 shown in FIG.
1, and the direction control lever 32 switches between forward rotation and reverse rotation. The rotation of this motor 4 is the gear train 41, 4.
2 and 43 to the drive shaft 44. A fixed rotary plate 45 fixed to the drive shaft 44 is provided on one side of the drive shaft 44.
is attached, and a loosely fitted rotary plate 46 loosely fitted to the drive shaft 44 is attached to the other side. A ratchet plate 47 engages with the loosely fitted rotating plate 46 through a hole 49.

Although the ratchet plate 47 is shown spaced apart from the loosely fitted rotary plate 46 for convenience of illustration, in reality it only transmits rotation of the drive shaft 4'4 in one direction to the loosely fitted rotary plate 46. Therefore, the loosely fitted rotary plate 46 rotates only in the direction of the arrow in the figure.

Further, an eccentric pin 48 is provided upright on the fixed rotary plate 45 and the loosely fitted rotary plate 46.

This eccentric pin 48 connects the legs 2, 2. It controls the movement of...

Now, a driven shaft 51 rotatably supported by the traveling body 1 is provided at the front portion of the traveling body 1 shown in FIG. This driven shaft 51 has an actuating member 5 which protrudes outward from the traveling body +f'.
is fixed. Returning to FIG. 2, this driven shaft 51 will be explained in more detail.6 On the opposite side of the actuating member 5, a protrusion 52 is fixed to the driven shaft 51. Further, an eccentric pin 54 is provided upright on the gear 53 that meshes with the loosely fitted rotating plate 46 described above. Therefore, the gear 53 similarly rotates only in one direction as shown by the arrow due to the loosely fitted rotary plate 46 rotating in only one direction, and the eccentric pin 54 periodically pushes down the protrusion 52. For this reason, the actuating member 51
reciprocates up and down around the driven shaft 51.

Next, the flying member 6 mounted on the traveling body 1 will be explained with reference to FIG. 3. In this actual example, the flying member 6 is modeled after a doll. The flying member 6 is: placed on the traveling body 1,
It is biased from below by a spring (first elastic member) 61 so as to protrude outward from the traveling body 1 . Also,
A rim 62 is formed at the bottom of the flying member 6, and the latch member 7 that engages with the rim 62 prevents or releases the flying member from flying outward.

The latch member 7 has a rotation shaft 72 supported in an elongated hole 71 formed in the traveling body 1, and one end 73 of the latch member removably engages with the rim 62. The side end portion 74 is urged upward by a spring (second elastic member) 75 from below.

A passive member 8 is disposed above the other end 74 of the latch member 7 . In the embodiment, the passive member 8 is constituted by a part of the upper body of the traveling body 1, and is rotatable about a rotation axis 81 with respect to the traveling body 1. A projection 82 that is a part of the passive member 8 is brought into contact with the upper side of the other end 74 of the latch member 7 . Therefore, when the protrusion 82 is pushed downward using the rotation shaft 81 as a fulcrum, the latch member 7 and 11! 1 end 74 is pushed down against the elastic force of spring 75. Therefore, the engagement between the latch member 7 and the flying member 6 can be released by pushing up the − side end portion 73 using the rotation shaft 72 as a fulcrum.

Next, legs 2, 2. The configuration related to the movement of... will be explained. Two link plates 9, 9 (see FIG. 4) are rotatably attached to the eccentric pins 48, 48 of each of the fixed rotary plate 45 and loosely fitted rotary plate 46 explained in FIG. There is. A guide pin 91 is located approximately in the center of the link plates 9, 9.
is erected, and the guide pins 91.91 are guided in guide grooves 92.92 of the traveling body 1 (see FIG. 3). Front and rear legs 2.2 are attached to the ends of the link plates 9, 9, and the center leg 2 is attached to the eccentric bin 48. feet? are rotatably attached to the link plates 9, 9 and the eccentric pin 48, and furthermore, in order to smoothly move the legs 2, floating guide plates 93, 9 are respectively attached.
3.93 is interposed. The two-dot diagonal lines shown in FIG. 4 indicate the movements of the foot 2 and the floating guide plate 93. As shown in the figure, when the center foot 2 is at the rear (or above), the front and rear feet 2 are at the front (or below).

Therefore, the running body 1 runs while being stably supported by three of the left and right legs.

The operation of the traveling toy having the above configuration will be explained.

When the direction control lever 32 is pushed forward, the drive shaft 44 rotates clockwise from the right side in FIG. Therefore, the loose fitting rotation @46 engages with the ratchet plate 47 and rotates in the direction of the arrow in the figure. As the eccentric bin 48 rotates clockwise, the legs 2, 2 each rotate counterclockwise, so that the traveling body 1 moves forward. Further, when the direction control lever 32 is tilted backward, the drive shaft 44 rotates counterclockwise from the right side of the drawing. At this time, the ratchet throat plate 47 does not engage with the hole 49 of the loosely fitted rotating plate 46, so the left leg 2 of the traveling body 1 is not driven. However, the right leg 2 rotates clockwise via its eccentric pin, as the fixed rotary plate 45 rotates counterclockwise, thus performing a backward movement. In this case, the right leg 2 is driven backward and the left leg 2 is free, so the traveling body 1 moves backward to the left.

The traveling body 1 can be made to reach the target location by repeating such traveling <9 times.

By the way, when the traveling body 1 is moving forward, the gear 53 is rotated by the loosely fitted rotary plate 46.

Therefore, the eccentric pin 54 periodically rotates through the protrusion 5 of the driven shaft 51.
Press down on 2. Therefore, when the actuating member 5 moves upward and the engagement between the eccentric pin 54 and the protruding strip 52 is disengaged, the actuating member 5 then moves downward due to its own weight. That is, while the traveling body 1 is moving forward, the actuating member 5 repeatedly moves up and down. For example, another such traveling body 1 is used, approaches the opponent's traveling body 1, and successfully knocks down the non-operating member 5 onto the opponent's passive member 8. Then, the opponent's running body 1
y>-y The other end 74 of the switch member 7 is the spring 7
Press down against 5. Therefore, one end 7 of the latch member 7
4 and the rim 62 of the flying member 6 are released. Therefore, the flying member 6 will fly out from the traveling body 1 by the spring 61.

In this way, the flying member 6 approaches the opponent's traveling body 1 and
You can play a game where you make objects fly into the air.

〔effect〕

As explained above, according to the traveling toy of the present invention, the A-shelf member is equipped with a biased member so as to fly out from the traveling body, and the flying member is controlled to fly out by the actuating member, the passive member, and the latch member. There is. Further, this actuating member is actuated by the driving force of the traveling body and does not require any other power source. Therefore, it is possible to enjoy the traveling control of the traveling body while also considering other deme elements.

Although the present invention has been specifically explained above based on Examples, it goes without saying that the present invention is not limited to the above-mentioned Examples and can be modified in various ways without departing from the gist thereof. For example, the description has been given of the traveling body moving forward and backward to the rear left, and the traveling control using wires, but it is clear that the present invention is not limited to this. moreover,
Various shapes are possible for the flying member and the operating member6.
