Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION (Uses of the Invention) The present invention relates to a traveling toy having a chassis that is divided into upper and lower halves.

(Prior Art) In a traveling toy equipped with a drive unit that combines a drive source such as a spring or friction, a reduction gear, and a drive wheel, the drive unit is installed in a chassis with an open top, and the drive unit is mounted inside a chassis with an open top. The upper part is generally covered directly by the vehicle body. The reason for leaving the upper part of the chassis open like this is that the chassis is used to hold and mount the drive unit, and since the upper part is covered by the car body, it cannot be seen and the chassis is not visible. If the upper part is left open, it will be easier to install the drive unit, and the total number of parts will be reduced, reducing costs. This is because there are advantages such as the ability to reduce

However, with the configuration of a traveling toy that minimizes the number of parts as described above, the shape of the traveling toy ends up becoming boring, making it difficult to create something original. Recently, various types of running toys have been proposed and implemented, such as 4WDgA drive type, double tire type, amphibious type, etc., and there is a tendency to enjoy a variety of driving, and the form of the running toy itself Also, something original is desired.

(Technical Problem of the Invention) The present invention was established in view of the above-mentioned problems, and the object of the present invention is to propose a traveling toy that can efficiently obtain an original form that has never been seen before.

(Means for Solving the Problem) In order to solve the problem described in E, the traveling toy according to the present invention has the following features:
It is characterized by having a chassis with the following configuration.

(a) The chassis is divided into an upper chassis and a lower chassis, and the upper chassis is mounted on a portion of the lower chassis.

(b) A drive unit with a drive mechanism is attached to the lower chassis, and the vehicle body is attached to the upper chassis.

(Operations and Effects of the Invention) The traveling toy described in E has a structure in which an upper chassis is further mounted on the upper part of the lower chassis on which the drive unit is mounted, and a car body is mounted on the upper part of the upper chassis. The height of the vehicle body is increased by the amount that the upper chassis is interposed between the two. As a result, a large space is formed between the upper part of the running wheels and the vehicle body, so various improvements can be made to the suspension, and a running toy with an original form can be obtained. For example, even if the lower chassis and car body have the same shape as before, by making the upper chassis unique, you can obtain an original shape as a whole, so you can change the shape of the traveling toy. Originality can be achieved efficiently.

(Example) Hereinafter, an example of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

In the figure, symbol A indicates a running toy. This running toy A is equipped with a chassis 1 and a car body 2, and is constructed so that the chassis can be divided into two parts: a lower chassis 3, and an upper chassis 4. The upper chassis 4 is mounted on the L part of the lower chassis 3, and A vehicle body 2 is mounted on an upper chassis 4.

A drive unit 5.5 is mounted on the lower chassis 3 and includes a drive source such as a mainspring, an electric motor, and friction, a reduction gear, and a drive wheel. In this case, as shown in FIG. 2, the lower chassis 3 is formed into a box shape with an open upper part, and has inward engaging claws 6.6 formed on both sides thereof, and presser parts 7.6 on the front and rear sides. 8 is formed protrudingly, while the drive unit 5
．． 5 has protrusions 9 and 10 having different heights at the front and rear, respectively, and as shown in FIG. Then, the rear convex part 10 of the other drive unit 5 is engaged with the rear holding part 8 of the lower chassis 3, and the front convex part 9 is overlapped with the rear convex part 10 of the front drive unit 5, and at the same time, the third As shown in the figure, the engaging pawl 6.6 is engaged with the front protrusion 9 of the rear drive unit 5. Thereby, the two drive units 5.5 can be easily and securely installed in the lower chassis 3.

Further, guide grooves 11 are formed on both sides of the front part of the lower chassis 3, a locking part 12 is formed at the lower end thereof, and a hanging wall 13 is formed upright at the rear end. Locking hole 1
4 is formed.

Next, an upper chassis 4 is mounted on the upper part of the lower chassis 3. The upper chassis 4 is also formed into a box shape, and its front end is formed into a winch-like shape, with vertical guide grooves 15 on both sides, insertion grooves 16 at the rear, and grooves on both sides of the center. A protruding piece 17 is provided, and the rear end portion is formed so as not to block the locking hole 14 of the lower chassis 3 when mounted. The height of the upper chassis 4 is the same as or higher than that of the lower chassis 3. When the upper chassis 4 is simply placed on the lower chassis 3, it is not fixed and is in a free state.

Further, a vehicle body 2 is mounted on the upper chassis 4. The appearance of this vehicle body 2 is almost the same as that of a normal running toy, and a front end bumper portion 18 of the vehicle body 2 protrudes forward in a stepped manner. An engagement pawl 19 is formed hanging from the rear end of the vehicle body 2 .

Reference numeral 20 designates a fixing member imitating a stone guard, which has fixing claws 21 and 21 protruding from both sides, and an engaging protrusion 22 formed at the top.

When assembling the upper chassis 4 and the vehicle body 2 onto the lower chassis 3, as shown in FIGS. 2 and 4, first place the drive unit 5.5 on the lower chassis 3 as described above. After placing the upper chassis 4, the vehicle body 2 is placed a on top of the upper chassis 4. At this time, the lower part of the bumper part 18 at the front end is inserted into the insertion groove 16 of the upper chassis 4 for positioning, and the engaging claw 19 at the rear end is engaged with the locking hole 14 in the hanging wall 13 of the lower chassis 3. make it stop Next, fixing member 2
The fixing claws 21.21 of 0 are slid along the guide grooves 11.15 on both sides of the upper and lower chassis 3.40, and their ends are locked in the locking portions 12 of the lower chassis 3. At this time, the engagement protrusion 22 on the upper part of the fixing member 20 is connected to the bumper part 18 of the vehicle body 2.
As a result, -1 (the body 2 is fixed to the lower chassis 3L via the upper chassis 4. At the same time, the upper chassis 4 is also clamped and fixed between the vehicle body 2 and the lower chassis 3.

As mentioned above, the traveling toy AA is a 4WD system with two drive units 5, and can demonstrate powerful drive.Moreover, the height of the chassis L is very high, so the vehicle body has two eyes. Although the shape is not particularly unusual, it is a very unique form overall. Due to the high vehicle height, it is also possible to attach caterpillar-shaped members 23 to the front and rear wheels, and to attach caterpillar cover members 24 to the projections 17 protruding on both sides of the upper chassis 4. This allows for greater changes in form.

Next, FIGS. 5 and 6 show another embodiment, and in the running toy B shown in the figure, the appearance of the car body 2 is slightly changed from that of a normal running toy, and the appearance is specially changed. A cylindrical screw receiver 29 that hangs downward is formed at the front part of the vehicle body 2, and an engaging pawl 19 is formed at the rear end.

The lower chassis 3 is formed into a wedge shape, and bearing grooves 30 and 30 are formed at the front and rear sides of both sides, a screw insertion cylinder 31 and an engaging pawl 32 are formed at the front part of the bottom, and a hanging wall at the rear end is formed. 13 has an engaging protrusion 33 at the bottom and a locking hole 34 at the top.
