Definitions

  • This invention relates to a toy car, more particularly to an improvement in the toy car.
  • toy cars such as a spring-drive type, a battery-drive type, a wireless-control type and others, for wining popularity with younger children.
  • majority of such conventional toy cars may slip transversely upon sudden change of a running direction, and in a worse case may lose its weight balance to turn over.
  • an independent-suspension system has been utilized for maintaining the weight balance, which system results in a complicated structure and a high cost.
  • an improved design of the toy car comprising a pair of front wheels and a plurality of rear wheels mounted to a car body, in which said plurality of rear wheels comprise a main wheel arranged substantially at the center of a car width and a pair of follower wheels arranged on either sides of the main wheel, said pair of follower wheels each being pivoted to one end of a supporting arm while the other end of the supporting arm being pivoted to an eccentric position in relation to an axle of the main wheel, may run on three wheels, namely the front wheels, the rear mail wheel and either one of the follower wheels upon the sudden change of the running direction.
  • an object of the invention is to provide a toy car which is simple in construction and may readily change its running direction.
  • the object may be achieved, in accordance with the invention by designing the toy car comprising a pair of front wheels and a plurality of rear wheels mounted to a car body, in which said plurality of rear wheels comprise a main wheel arranged substantially at the center of a car width and a pair of follower wheels arranged on either sides of the main wheel, said pair of follower wheels each being pivoted to one end of a supporting arm while the other end of the supporting arm being pivoted to an eccentric position in relation to an axle of the main wheel.
  • a running balance may be further improved by putting a heavier fixed loading on the rear wheel side than on the front wheel side of the car body.
  • the toy car comprises a car body 10 formed of, for example, a plastic material as well as a pair of front wheels 12, 12 and a plurality of rear wheels consisted of a main wheel 14 arranged substantially at the center of a car width and a pair of follower wheels 16, 16 arranged on either side of the main wheel 14.
  • the car body 10 at its front part contains a direction-change means 18 which may be operated by an output signal from a wireless-controller (not shown) provided separately from the car body.
  • the direction-change means 18 may be connected through an optional power-transmission mechanism (not shown) to the front wheels 12, 12.
  • the car body 10 at its rear part, namely at a carrier 20 is provided with a driving motor 22 which is operated by another output signal from the wireless-controller.
  • a driving shaft of the motor 22 is connected through another power-transmission mechanism (not shown) to an axle 24 of the main wheel 14 for serving the main wheel 14 as a driving wheel.
  • the carrier 20 is provided, in addition to the driving motor 22, with a power battery (not shown) in order to put a heavier fixed loading on the rear wheel side than on the front wheel side.
  • Each of the pair of rear wheels 16, 16 is rotably mounted to one end of a supporting arm 28, while the other end of the arm 28 is pivoted through a shaft 30 to an eccentric position in relation to an axle 24 of the main wheel 14.
  • a reference 32 represents a stopper for defining the upper limit when the supporting arm 28 rotates on the shaft 30.
  • the car body 10 In operation of the toy car, the car body 10 is placed on the floor or the ground and the wireless-controller is operated to start rotation of the driving motor 22. Thus, a rotational force of the motor 22 is transmitted through the power-transmission mechanism to the main wheel 14 thereby to drive the toy car straight at given speed.
  • both the follower wheels 16, 16 are contacted with the ground due to its own weight applied on the shaft 30 of the supporting arms 28, 28 and may rotate freely (Fig. 4).
  • the toy car may change the running direction for the front wheels 12, 12 through selective operation of the direction-change means 18 by use of the wireless-controller while straight running.
  • a sudden change of the running direction allows the car body 10 to incline due to a centifugal force, as shwon in Fig. 5.
  • one of the follower wheels 16b may rotates upwardly on the shaft 30 of the supporting arm 30 to oppose the centrifugal force in cooperation with the main wheel 14 and the front wheels 12, 12 and thus to prevent loss of the weight balance and transverse slippage or turnover of the car body.
  • the other follower wheel 16a may be contacted with the ground, as in the straight running, due to its own weight applied on the shaft 30 of the supporting arm 28 and may rotate freely (Fig.
  • the toy car according to the invention is simple in construction and may achieve not only the prevention of transverse slippage and turnover of the car body upon the sudden change of its running direction but also the turning on a small radius. Further, a spin operation upon running is possible, thereby to provide a very amusing toy car.
