Effect of the utility model

According to the first aspect, the operating member is caused to perform the spiral motion by linearly moving the rotating shaft in the axial direction and rotating the rotating shaft, and therefore, the operating member can be caused to perform the spiral motion back and forth with a simple structure.

Further, since the linear third engaging portion is provided in a connected manner and the rotating shaft moves only in a straight line without rotating when the third engaging portion engages with the second engaging portion, the movement can be changed and the rotational position of the operating member can be fixed when the operating member is stopped.

According to the second aspect, since the first engaging portion having a spiral shape is formed on the rotary shaft, a special space for providing the first engaging portion is not required outside the shaft, and therefore, the space is also advantageous.

According to the third aspect, since the first engaging portion having the spiral shape is the groove and the second engaging portion is the projection, the first engaging portion can be made to reliably follow the second engaging portion even when the device is slightly shaken or the like.

Detailed Description

Example of playing method

Fig. 1 is a perspective view of a track toy 100.

The method of playing the track toy 100 will be described by taking a case where one car toy 1 is used as an example.

When the automobile toy 1 is placed on the rail piece 11 and the button 2 is lightly and continuously pressed, the rail piece 11 spirally rises little by little around the rotation shaft 11a, and the automobile toy 1 is transferred from the rail piece 11 to the lower side of the slope of the rail piece 12 at a position where the direction of the rail piece 11 is changed by 180 degrees. Since the track pieces 12 constitute a straight ascending ramp, the toy car 1 remains under the ramp.

When the grip 3 is slid gradually leftward, the track piece 12 jumps up around the shaft 12a, and the track piece 12 changes from the ascending slope to the descending slope. Thus, the toy car 1 moves up and down on the track piece 12 and transfers to the track piece 13. The track piece 13 forms a U-turn left turn and a slightly descending ramp. Therefore, the toy car 1 travels up and down the rail piece 13, rides on the rail piece 14, and stops.

When the handle 4 is rotated clockwise, the rail piece 14 rises while rotating until it reaches the same height as the entrance of the rail piece 15. In this way, the toy car 1 is transferred from the track piece 14 to the track piece 15. The track piece 15 constitutes a down ramp for the left bend. Thus, the toy car 1 travels up and down the track piece 15 until reaching the exit of the track piece 15. The exit of a track piece 15 is separated from the entrance of the next track piece 16, the exit of a track piece 15 being located at a higher level. Thus, the toy car 1 jumps to the track piece 16 in a jumping manner. The track pieces 16 form an S-shaped curve and become a descending ramp. Then, the toy car 1 goes up and down the rail piece 16 and stops near the rail piece 17.

The rail piece 17 is a rail that swings by the operation of the grip 5, and when the grip 5 is operated, the rail piece 17 swings, and when the position and timing are matched, the toy car 1 is transferred to the rail piece 17 and returned to the rail piece 11.

Rotary lifting device 20

The rotary lifting device 20 lifts the orbital piece 11 while revolving around the rotation shaft 11a by the continuous click of the push button 2.

The rotary lifting device 20 includes a rotation mechanism 20a that rotates the rotation shaft 11a, and a screw mechanism 20b that screws the track piece 11 by the rotation of the rotation shaft 11a.

Fig. 2 is a perspective view showing an attachment structure of the rail piece 11, and fig. 3 is a perspective view of a state where the rail piece 11 and the base 27 are disassembled from below.

The track piece 11 is attached to the rotary shaft 11a via a base 27.

That is, a groove 11b is formed along the axial direction on the outer periphery of the rotating shaft 11a. The rotating shaft 11a is inserted through the cylindrical portion 27a of the base 27. Then, the convex strip 27b provided on the inner surface of the cylindrical portion 27a in the axial direction engages with the groove 11b. That is, the base 27 is attached to the rotary shaft 11a so as to be unrotatable and movable in the axial direction.

The pedestal 27 and the track piece 11 are coupled by fitting.

Next, the track piece 11 will be explained.

Fig. 4 is a side view of the mounting structure of the stopper 11 d.

The bottom plate of the track piece 11 has a downward gradient toward the front of the mounted toy car 1. Therefore, in this state, the toy car 1 may fall off the rail piece 11. Then, a stopper 11d that can move up and down by rotating about a shaft 11c and a locking member 11f that can lock the stopper 11d in the standing position by rotating about a shaft 11e are provided at the tip of the rail piece 11.

The stopper 11d is urged in the tilting direction by a torsion spring not shown. The locking member 11f is biased by a torsion spring, not shown, in a direction in which the stopper 11d can be locked at the standing position.

A claw 11g formed separately from the shaft 11e of the locking member 11f abuts on the shaft portion of the stopper 11d to lock the stopper 11d at the standing position.

Before the rail piece 11 is screwed to be connected to the rail piece 12, the locking member 11f slides downward in contact with a triangular sliding contact portion 12c of a pillar 12b (fig. 7) formed under the rail piece 12, so that the stopper 11d is inclined toward the rail piece 12 and the tip end portion thereof rides on the rail piece 12. Thereby, the toy car 1 on the track piece 11 is transferred to the track piece 12.

While the stopper 11d is tilted toward the rail piece 12 and the tip end portion is placed on the rail piece 12, the raised state of the rail piece 11 is maintained by the urging force of the stopper 11 d. Then, when the rail piece 12 jumps up, the stopper 11d stands up and is locked again by the locking member 11f.

Fig. 5 is a perspective view of the rotation mechanism 20a when viewed from above, and fig. 6 is a perspective view of the rotation mechanism 20a when viewed from below.

When the push button 2 is pressed, the rotation mechanism 20a transmits its power to the rotation shaft 11a via the lever 21, the rack 22, the gear 23, the gear 24, the gear 25, and the gear 26, and rotates the rotation shaft 11a.

That is, the button 2 is configured to be movable up and down. A lever 21 is provided below the push button 2 so as to be rotatable about an intermediate shaft 21 a. When the push button 2 is pressed, one end of the lever 21 is pressed, and the lever 21 rotates in a predetermined direction around the shaft 21 a. The rack 22, which can reciprocate in the horizontal plane, engages with the other end of the lever 21, and is operated in one direction by pressing the push button 2. The return spring 22b is hooked on the rack 22, and when the push button 2 is stopped from being pushed, the rack 22, the lever 21, and the push button 2 return to the initial position.

The teeth of the rack 22 mesh with the gear 23. A gear 24 that rotates concentrically and integrally with the gear 23 is provided below the gear 23. An arm 25a is provided on the shaft 23a of the gear 23, and a gear (planetary gear) 25 having a sun gear 24 is provided on the arm 25 a. The arm 25a is rotatable within a predetermined range, and when the push button 2 is pressed, the arm 25a is rotated in a predetermined direction by the rotation of the gear 24, and the gear 25 is engaged with the gear 26. Thereby, the gear 26 rotates. Since the gear 26 is a tooth-missing gear and the rotating shaft 11a is provided upright on the gear 26, the rotating shaft 11a is rotated integrally by the rotation of the gear 26. The reason why the gear 26 is a missing gear is that the gear 25 reaches the missing portion at the position where the rail piece 11 is completely raised, and the rail piece 11 is not operated even if the push button 2 is further pushed.

Note that a ratchet mechanism may be used instead of the planetary gear mechanism. However, in the case of the ratchet mechanism, since the hand is not moved back even when the hand is separated from the push button 2, the rotary shaft 11a rotates by the number of times the push button 2 is pressed.

When the rotation shaft 11a rotates, the screw mechanism 20b raises the base 27 attached to the rotation shaft 11a while revolving along the slope 28a. The inclined surface 28a is formed on a wall 28 that surrounds half of the rotation shaft 11a.

A semicircular arc-shaped wall 28 is provided in the vicinity of the rotation shaft 11a concentrically with the rotation shaft 11a in a plan view. A slope 28a is formed in the wall 28. The wall 28 provided beside the rotation shaft 11a may be a wall to which the pedestal 27 is contoured, and may be only a contoured surface inclined with respect to the rotation shaft 11a.

On the other hand, a wheel 27c is attached to the base 27, and the wheel 27c rides on the slope 28a. The pedestal 27 may directly ride on the slope 28a.

Then, as the rotation shaft 11a rotates, the wheel 27c rolls on the inclined surface 28a, and the pedestal 27 smoothly spirals outside the rotation shaft 11a.

By thus spirally moving the pedestal 27 and thus the rail piece 11, a highly interesting lifting device can be realized.

Jumping device 40

As shown in fig. 7, one end of the track piece 12 is attached to the stay 41 via a horizontal shaft 12 a. The jump-up device 40 (see fig. 10 and 11) pushes up the track piece 12 in the vicinity of the shaft 12a by the operation of the gripper 3.

The jump-up device 40 includes a lift mechanism 40a that operates by the operation of the grip 3, and a rack mechanism 40b that operates by the power of the lift mechanism 40 a.

First, the grip 3 will be explained.

Fig. 8 is a perspective view showing a coupling state of the grip 3 and the string fixing member 45, and fig. 9 is a perspective view showing a coupling release state of the grip 3 and the string fixing member 45.

The grip 3 is fixed to a slider 43 that moves along the guide groove 42. The slider 43 is coupled to a string fixing member 45 to which one end of the string 44 is coupled. The rope fastener 45 connects the gripper 3 and the lifting mechanism 40 a.

The slider 43 is combined with the rope fixing member 45 by snap-fitting. For example, the engaging portions are engaged with the convex portions by fitting or by elastically locking claws. Magnetic attachment may be achieved without snap-fitting.

Here, a columnar outer joint member 43a is formed on the slider 43, and the outer joint member 43a is engaged with an elastic C-shaped inner joint member 45a formed on the string fixing member 45. The outer joint member 43a and the inner joint member 45a are engaged by abutting the slider 43 in the operating direction, and when the slider 43 is operated, the string fixing member 45 is also integrally operated. When a force greater than necessary acts on the tab 3, the outer joint 43a of the slider 43 and the inner joint 45a of the string holder 45 are disengaged, and the slider 43 and the string holder 45 are disengaged. Thereby, the power transmission of the grip 3 is interrupted. In the embodiment, when the grip 3 is rapidly operated leftward, the power transmission of the grip 3 is cut off, thereby preventing the track piece 12 from jumping up quickly and preventing the toy car 1 riding on the track piece 12 from flying out.

The lift mechanism 40a raises the movable rack 48 in the rack mechanism 40b via the string 44 coupled to the string anchor 45 by the operation of the gripper 3.

Fig. 10 is a diagram showing a state when the movable rack 48 is lowered, and fig. 11 is a diagram showing a state when the movable rack 48 is raised.

The rope 44 coupled to the rope fastener 45 is wound around a pulley 46 or the like and then guided into the support 41 from below. Then, the support column 41 is wound around a pulley (fixed pulley) 47 provided at an upper portion of the fixed portion 41a, and the other end is coupled to a movable rack 48 located therebelow. The movable rack 48 can be lifted and lowered along the guide rail 49, and is pulled by the rope 44 and lifted when the grip 3 is operated.

The rack mechanism 40b is constituted by the movable rack 48, the double gear 51 attached to the push-up member 50, and the fixed rack 52 formed on the fixed portion 41 a. The double gear 51 is constituted by a large-diameter gear that meshes with the teeth of the movable rack 48 and a small-diameter gear that meshes with the teeth of the fixed rack 52, which are integrally operated.

As a result, when the movable rack 48 is pulled up by the rope 44 by operating the grip 3, the double gear 51 rotates in one direction, and the small-diameter gear of the double gear 51 moves upward along the fixed rack 52. Thereby, the push-up member 50 is raised to push up the rail piece 12. When the operation of the gripper 3 is stopped, the push-up member 50 descends by its own weight and moves along the reverse path, and the movable rack 48 and the gripper 3 return to the initial position. In this case, a return spring may be provided as needed.

Block 60

Fig. 12 is a perspective view showing the rail pieces 13 to 15, and fig. 13 is a perspective view showing an attachment structure of the stopper 60 of the rail piece 13.

A housing 61 accommodating the stopper 60 is attached to the lower side of the outlet of the rail piece 13. The stopper 60 is configured to be rotatable in the vertical direction about a shaft 60a, and is biased upward by a torsion spring, not shown.

The stopper 60 has a tongue-shaped base 60b, and a locking projection 60c is provided upright on the upper surface of the base 60b at the middle portion in the longitudinal direction. The locking projection 60c is formed of a first portion extending in the longitudinal direction of the base 60b and a second portion extending in the width direction and having an intermediate portion connected to the first portion, and is formed in a T shape as a whole.

When the rail piece 14 at the next stage is located at the lowered position, the front end portion of the base 60b of the stopper 60 is pushed downward by a rotary table 72 described later and moves downward, and the locking projection 60c moves in and out from the upper surface of the rail piece 13. When the rotary table 72 is raised, the front end portion of the base 60b is released, the stopper 60 is moved upward by a torsion spring, not shown, and the locking projection 60c projects toward the upper surface of the rail piece 13. The toy car 1 is stopped by the protruding locking projection 60 c.

Rotary lifting device 70

Fig. 14 is a diagram showing the rotary lifting device 70.

A rotary table 72 is provided above the casing 71, and the track piece 14 is provided above the rotary table 72. The rotation shaft 78 is vertically provided at the center of the rotation table 72, and the rotation shaft 78 extends inside the housing 71 and has a movable support 73 attached to a lower end portion thereof. The movable support 73 rotatably supports the rotary shaft 78 and is configured to be movable up and down integrally with the rotary shaft 78.

The rotary lifting device 70 includes a winding mechanism 70a that is operated by the operation of the handle 4, and a screw mechanism 70b that is operated by the power of the winding mechanism 70 a.

Fig. 15 is a perspective view showing the handle 4 and its periphery.

The winding mechanism 70a moves the movable support 73 upward through the cord 75 by the operation of the handle 4. The handle 4 is coupled to the reel 74 via a gear 4b attached to the shaft 4a of the handle 4 and a gear 74b attached to a shaft 74a of the reel 74 for winding the rope 75. A one-way clutch is provided between the handle 4 and the reel 74.

The cord 75 pulled out from the reel 74 is guided into the housing 71 from below. Then, in the housing 71, the rope 75 is wound around a pulley (fixed pulley) 76 provided at an upper portion, the other end is coupled to the movable support 73, and the movable support 73 is raised by operating the handle 4. The movable support 73 is biased downward by a coil spring, not shown, but if lowered by its own weight, the coil spring is not required.

A spiral groove 78b extending in the axial direction is formed on the outer periphery of the rotary shaft 78. Further, a linear groove 78c extending in the axial direction is formed on the outer periphery of the rotary shaft 78 so as to be continuous with the upper end of the groove 78b.

As shown in fig. 16, the rotating shaft 78 is inserted into the insertion hole 77a of the fixed engaging member 77, and the projection 77b on the inner surface of the insertion hole 77a engages with both the

grooves

78b and 78c.

When the movable support 73 and thus the rotation shaft 78 are raised by operating the handle 4, the screw mechanism 70b rotates the rotation shaft 78 by engaging the groove 78b with the projection 77 b. Thereby, the turntable 72 is raised while performing a spiral motion.

Since the linear groove 78c is engaged with the projection 77b at the initial position, the rotary table 72 is not rotated and vertically raised when the rotary shaft 78 is raised.

When the hand is separated from the handle 4, the rotary table 72 is moved in opposition to the biasing force of the spring acting on the movable support 73 by its own weight, and returns to the initial position while performing a screwing motion. Since the linear groove 78c is engaged with the projection 77b immediately before returning to the initial position, the rotary table 72 is lowered straight.

Push-out structure 80

Fig. 17 and 18 are plan views for explaining the operation of the push-out structure 80.

In a state where the rotary table 72 is lowered, the locking projection 60c of the stopper 60 moves in and out from the upper surface of the rail piece 13. Therefore, in the track piece 14, the front portion of the next automobile toy 1 may enter the track piece 14 due to the difference in the overall length of the automobile toy 1 that travels. In this state, when the turntable 72 is raised, there is a risk that the next toy car 1 is thrown away.

Then, the turntable 72 is provided with a sliding contact wall 81 having a bow shape in plan view, in which the outer surface diameter increases as the rotation proceeds, at a position adjacent to the upstream side of the track piece 14.

After the rotary table 72 is vertically raised from the lowered position and the engaging projection 60c of the stopper 60 lifts the front portion of the next toy car 1, when the rotary table 72 starts to rotate, the outer surface of the sliding contact wall 81 starts to slide in contact with the front portion of the next toy car 1. Then, the toy car 1 is pushed back with the rotation of the rotary table 72. The pushed-back automobile toy 1 is stopped by the stopper 60.

Discharge Structure 90

Fig. 19 is an exploded perspective view showing the discharge configuration of the toy car 1.

The track piece 14 is pivotally supported via a shaft 14b on the front side of the mounted toy car 1, and is vertically rotatable about the shaft 14 b. An angle changing lever 91 is provided under the bottom plate of the rail piece 14 so as to be rotatable about a shaft 91a to change the inclination angle of the bottom plate of the rail piece 14. A wedge-shaped cam 91b is provided on one end of the angle changing lever 91, and a projecting piece 91c is provided on the other end. The cam 91b abuts against a projection (not shown) on the lower surface of the rail piece 14, and is configured to change the inclination angle of the bottom plate of the rail piece 14 by the rotation angle of the angle change lever 91.

Specifically, the angle changing lever 91 is biased by a coil spring, not shown, and the projecting piece 91c is normally positioned to maintain the downward gradient of the bottom plate of the rail piece 14 toward the rear side of the mounted toy car 1. Then, before the rail piece 14 moves upward and comes into contact with the rail piece 15, the projecting piece 91c hits against the projection 15b attached to the base 15a of the rail piece 15, and the angle changing lever 91 turns. Thereby, the track piece 14 rotates about the shaft 14b, and a downward gradient is formed toward the front side of the mounted toy car 1, and when the track piece 14 moves upward and coincides with the track piece 15, the toy car 1 is discharged onto the track piece 15.

Modifications of the invention

In the above embodiment, in the screw mechanism 70b, the groove 78b and the groove 78c are provided in the rotation shaft 78 so as to be engaged with the projection 73b of the engagement member 77 on the fixed side, but a projection may be provided in the rotation shaft 78 and a spiral groove or a linear groove may be provided in the engagement member 77 on the fixed side.

In the above embodiment, in the screw mechanism 20b, the linear groove 11b is formed in the rotating shaft 11a and the spiral inclined surface 28a is formed in the wall 28, but a cylindrical body surrounding the rotating shaft 11a may be provided and a spiral groove may be formed in the cylindrical body so as to engage with a protrusion provided in the rail piece 11.

In the above embodiment, the track toy 100 for running the automobile toy 1 has been described, but the present invention can also be applied to toys for carrying or moving other objects such as balls.

In the above embodiment, the rotation shaft 11a and the rotation shaft 78 are provided to extend in the vertical direction, but the rail piece may be moved in the horizontal direction or the inclined direction in a horizontal or inclined manner.

In the above embodiment, the linear groove 78c is provided continuously to the upper end of the spiral groove 78b of the rotary shaft 78, but a linear groove may be provided continuously to the lower end. If the linear groove is provided, for example, the alignment with the adjacent rail piece can be reliably performed.
