Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] This invention relates to a horse racing toy, and more particularly to a horse racing toy that allows a horse to run with a sense of dynamism and realism.

Horse racing toys include, for example, ones in which toy horses or horses depicted as images are run to compete for ranking.

However, in the former, these conventional horse racing toys do not change the posture of the horse while running, and in the latter, the production costs are high because they use complicated electronic circuits, and both of them lack a sense of dynamism and realism. It was something lacking.

This idea was devised in view of the above circumstances, and its purpose is to create a feeling of dynamism and realism in the running posture and the sound of the hoofs generated while running, as if the horses were actually competing on a racetrack. Our goal is to provide horse racing toys that make this possible.

The horse racing toy of this invention includes a horse body, a jockey who rides the horse, a running guide member disposed on the horse body having a first magnet, and a horse racing toy equipped with a running surface having a protrusion for controlling running posture. The driving member has a second magnet having a polarity opposite to that of the first magnet and moves below the runway, and the driving member attracts the first magnet of the travel guide member. The horse is made to run along the track.

The horse body is divided into a front horse body and a rear horse body, which are rotatably supported on each other, and are pushed up from below by the buttocks of the jockey riding the horse or by the protrusion of the rear horse body. Therefore, when driving, it is possible to create a driving posture that is rich in dynamism.

The running posture control protrusion that makes such a running posture appear also has the function of generating the sound of the horse's hooves hitting the running track, increasing the sense of realism.

Hereinafter, one embodiment of the horse racing toy of this invention will be explained with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 1 is a front view showing a horse body 1, a jockey 2 who rides the horse body 1, and a traveling guide member 3 provided on the horse body 1;
2 and 3 show the front horse body 11 of the horse body 1, respectively.
FIG. 4 is a plan view of FIG. 1 with the jockey 2 removed.

The horse body 1 is divided into a front horse body 11 and a rear horse body 12, and a notch 13 is formed in the center of the body of the front horse body 11. protrusion 1
4 is formed at the center of the body of the rear horse body 12.

The front horse body 11 and the rear horse body 12 are fitted with pins 1 in through holes 15 and 16 drilled in the center of each body.
7 are inserted and are mutually rotatably supported.

Further, a fixed shaft 18 is attached to the neck of the front horse body 11, and a jockey 2 is rotatably supported at both ends of the fixed shaft 18 via his both hands.

This jockey 2 further rides the horse so that his buttocks are located above the protrusion 14 of the rear horse body 12 described above.

Further, the lower front surfaces of the hooves of the forelimbs and hind legs of the horse body 1 are formed with curved portions 19 that are curved rearward, unlike the shape of hooves seen on an actual horse.

As will be described later, this curved portion 19 works in conjunction with the running posture control protrusion to give a sense of dynamism to the running postures of the horse body 1 and the jockey 2.

A pin 31 is passed through the hoof of the hind leg of the horse body 1,
One end of the traveling guide member 3 is rotatably supported by this pin 31 .

The running guide member 3 is formed to be slightly longer than the body length of the horse body 1, and projects forward from the above-mentioned negative side through which it passes between the forelimbs and is rotatably supported. One magnet 32 is disposed within the magnet accommodating portion 33 with its magnetic pole surface exposed downward.

Further, the distal end portion inside this magnet accommodating portion 33 has an upwardly curved anterior apical portion 34 which has a greater degree of curvature than the curved portion 19 of the hoof.
are coupled.

On the other hand, on the running surface of, for example, a racing track A as shown in FIG. 6, on which the horse body 1 runs, there are a plurality of running attitude control protrusions 41 that are perpendicular to the running direction and protrude from the running surface at predetermined intervals. A first magnet 32 disposed on the running guide member 3 is disposed below the horse racing track 4.
A large number of second magnets 42, 42, .

These second magnets 42, 42, . . . are moved in the direction indicated by the arrow in the figure by a drive member (not shown).

Although the driving member will not be described in detail, this can be easily accomplished, for example, by attaching second magnets 42, 42, . . . in the form of a belt and conveying this belt.

Further, in this embodiment, the second magnet 42.4
Although a plurality of magnets 2... are placed on the belt at predetermined intervals, it is also possible to attach magnets of an appropriate size depending on the width of the track and the number of horses running.

The operation of the horse racing toy having the above configuration will now be described.

When a predetermined number of horse bodies 1 are lined up on the racing track 4 and the drive member is activated, the second magnets 42, 42, . . . are located below the track 4 as shown in FIG. Move in the direction of the arrow in the diagram.

Note that in FIG. 5, the jockey 2 is not shown in order to explain the operation in an easy-to-understand manner.

Since the second magnets 42, 42, . The magnet 32 of No. 1 is also pulled by this and moves in the same direction.

Accordingly, the horse body 1, in which the travel guide member 3 is pivotally supported by the pin 31 of the hoof of the hind leg, also starts moving in the same direction.

However, since the running attitude control protrusion 41 protrudes from the running surface of the horse racing track 4, which is perpendicular to the running direction, the front apex 34, which has a relatively large degree of curvature, easily crosses this running attitude control protrusion 41. (FIG. 5, 2), the protrusion 41 that has passed the magnet accommodating portion 33 comes into contact with the hoof of the forelimb, which has a smaller degree of curvature than the front tip 34, and pushes this hoof backward.

(Figure 5 3).

At this time, the traveling guide member 3 is pulled forward and the forelimbs are pushed backward, so that the pin 17 that rotatably supports the front horse body 11 and the rear horse body 12 is rotated. Both horse bodies 11, 12 rotate as fulcrums.

This rotation is stopped when the lower part of the notch 13 of the front horse body 11 comes into contact with the lower part of the protrusion 14 of the rear horse body 12 (FIG. 5, 4), and the forelimbs of the horse body 1 are moved to the traveling guide member 3. The running posture control protrusion 41 cannot resist the force that pulls the horse body 1 forward.
The robot climbs over the rope, moves to the re-string position (Fig. 5, 1), and then repeats the same movements one after another.

While the horse body 1 repeats such movements, the jockey 2 riding on it also rotates around the fixed shaft 18 as the horse body 1 vibrates, and the protruding portion 14 is rotated from the back of the front horse body 11. Since it moves upward and retracts, it pushes up the buttocks of the jockey 2, making it appear as if the jockey 2 is making full use of the horse.

Further, when the hoof of the forelimb crosses over the ridge 41 and falls onto the running track 4, it strongly strikes the running track 4, making the sound of the hoof and creating a sense of realism.

As explained above, in the horse racing toy invented by this invention, the horse body is divided into a front horse body and a rear horse body, which are rotatably supported on each other, and the jockey riding on the front horse body can freely rotate. At the same time, the protruding part of the horse's rear body pushes up its buttocks, and the running posture control ridges installed on the racing track skillfully control the movements of the horse's body and the jockey, creating a sense of dynamism in the running posture. It also has the effect of providing a sense of realism.

Furthermore, this effect is synergistically enhanced by the sound of the forelimb hooves hitting the racing track.

Furthermore, the running posture can be easily changed by changing the degree of curvature of the running posture control protrusion and the curved portion of the hoof.
