BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.

<1. Toy> FIG. 1 is a perspective view showing an example of a vehicle-type toy used in a toy set according to an embodiment of the present invention. This vehicle-type toy 1 has wheels 11 that are rotationally driven and a drive unit 12 that includes a motor that drives the wheels.
And a battery or capacitor storage box 13 for supplying electric energy to the motor. The battery may be a primary battery, but a case in which a rechargeable secondary battery is used will be described here.

This vehicle type toy 1 is set in a charger,
When the battery or the capacitor is charged with a certain amount or more of electric charge, the battery or the capacitor supplies electric energy to the motor and other load devices as necessary to prevent overcharging, and the motor starts to rotate. When the motor rotates, the wheels rotate, and when the vehicle-type toy 1 is detached from the charger and placed at a position where it can travel, the vehicle-type toy 1 travels while consuming the electric energy charged in the battery or the capacitor. .

When placed on a game table, which will be described later, since the wheels have a small frictional force with respect to the game table, they run while slipping on the game table. When a plurality of vehicle-type toys 1 travel on a table, they collide with each other or, if necessary, movable members 14 and 15 attached to the vehicle-type toy 1 come into contact with other vehicle-type toys 1. As a result, when the other vehicle-shaped toy 1 can be driven out of the table or overturned to disable the traveling on the table, the remaining vehicle-shaped toy 1 wins.

In order to reduce the frictional resistance with respect to the game table, the wheel 11 has a wheel outer peripheral surface, which is in contact with the game table, made of, for example, plastic or metal. Hard plastic such as ABS resin is preferably used.

Since the frictional resistance of the wheels 11 with respect to the game table is small, the vehicle-type toy 1 will behave unexpectedly even if the wheels are rotationally driven at a constant speed, and the game can be fully enjoyed. However, the direction of the axle may be steered and the rotational speed and the rotational direction of the wheels may be controlled during the game by remote control such as wireless control.

<2. Game Console> FIG. 2 is a perspective view showing an example of a game console used in the toy set according to the embodiment of the present invention. The game console 2 may be integrally molded, but here, the game console 2 is assembled from separate members such as the plate member 21 and the limiting member 3. It can also be disassembled after use.

<2-1. Plate Member> FIG. 3 is a schematic perspective view showing a folding mode of the plate member used in the game table. The plate member 21 is a thick paper such as cardboard having a relatively large rigidity, or a flat plate formed of hard plastic or a metal plate, and the thickness thereof is not particularly limited, but is, for example, about 0.5 mm to 10 mm.

The plate member 21 is foldable along a predetermined bending line 22 whose bending position and bending direction are set in advance. The fold line 22 is
For example, three non-intersecting, preferably parallel lines. It is desirable that the bending directions are opposite to each other on the adjacent planned bending lines. By forming in this way, the plate member 21 is folded into a bellows shape,
Even if the plate member 21 is thick, it can be folded without difficulty. If the folded plate member 21 has a crease when it is unfolded, as shown in FIG. 3, it may be reversed in the opposite direction (the front surface 27 when folded on the back surface 28 side) as necessary.
Folding (to the side) causes the plate member 21 to be flat.

The surface 27 of the plate member 21 is preferably a smooth surface having a small coefficient of friction with the wheels so that the wheels of the vehicle toy 1 slip during driving. Since the wheels of the vehicle-type toy 1 slip, the vehicle-type toy 1 often makes an unpredictable movement (spin or the like). If the wheels do not slip, they will reach the end of the moving range immediately, and they will not be able to turn back unless the direction of the vehicle and the rotation direction of the wheels are reversed, so they will remain at the end of the moving range. It is easy to slip. For this reason, it takes a relatively long time to reach the end of the moving range, and when reaching the end of the moving range, the friction is small, so that the limiting member 3 bounces back and easily returns to the center of the moving range. Therefore, the vehicle-type toys 1 easily collide with each other or come into contact with each other, and an attractive movement can be performed as a competitive game.

The surface 27 of the plate member 21 may be formed of a uniform material and have a uniform coefficient of friction with the wheel.
The friction coefficient of a part of the surface may be different from the friction coefficient of the other part. For example, as shown in FIG. 2, the plate member 21
The friction increasing sheet 26 that can be repeatedly attached and removed may be attached to a part of the surface of the sheet. Since the slip of the wheels is suppressed in the portion where the friction is large, the traveling speed of the vehicle toy 1 is increased in many cases. Vehicle type toy 1 with increased running speed
Has a large kinetic energy, it may collide with another vehicle toy 1 strongly, or in some cases, it may collide with the restricting member 3 by itself, and the winning or losing may be decided at a stretch, which increases the game property. You can

The plate member 21 is formed with a plurality of holes 23 for mounting the limiting member 3 and holes 24, 25 for mounting obstacles 41 to 44 described later. Restriction member 3
Is provided along the outer edge of the moving range of the vehicle-type toy 1,
The vehicle-type toy 1 is restricted from going out of this moving range. Further, the obstacles 41 to 44 are provided within the moving range and change the traveling of the vehicle toy 1. Since the mounting holes 23 to 25 are formed in advance in this way, it is possible to facilitate the positioning and attachment / detachment work of the restriction member 3 and the obstacle. These holes are
The coloring around the hole is different from the hole 23 for mounting the restriction member 3,
It is distinguished by holes 24 and 25 for mounting obstacles,
A person who wants to assemble the game console 2 can distinguish them at a glance. Note that the mounting holes 23 to
The distinction of 25 is not limited to color classification, but may be distinction based on size and shape.

<2-2. Restriction member configuration> Restriction member 3
Surrounds the movement range of the vehicle toy 1 so as to limit the movement range of the vehicle toy 1, and has a height capable of restricting passage of the vehicle toy 1. In the present embodiment including the foldable plate member 21, the limiting member 3 is an assembly type, and the limiting member 3 is formed by combining a plurality of linear or curved rod-shaped parts 31 to 34.

FIG. 4 is a plan view showing an example in which the limiting member 3 is attached to the plate member 21. As shown in the figure, the size and shape of the moving range can be changed depending on the type and number of the combined parts 31 to 34. For example, FIG. 4A shows an example in which a total of four parts 31 and 32 in the shape of a quarter arc are used to form a substantially circular moving area having a relatively small area. FIG. 4B shows that the area of the moving range is slightly enlarged by using linear parts 33 and 34 in addition to the four quarter-arc parts. In FIG. 4C, in addition to four quarter-arc parts, four linear parts are used so that the moving range has a larger area.

When the moving range is set small, there is not enough space for acceleration so that the game is likely to run at a relatively low speed, and a vehicle of a type in which the opponent is overturned with a weapon such as the movable members 14 and 15 in FIG. It is considered to be advantageous for mold toys.
When the moving range is set to be large, the vehicle-type toy can be accelerated in a sufficient space, which is considered to be advantageous for a vehicle-type toy that is strong against attacks by the body. By making the moving range changeable, the game can be enjoyed under various conditions.

The height of the limiting member 3 may be uniform, but may be changed along the circumferential direction of the outer edge of the moving range. By changing along the circumferential direction, when the vehicle-shaped toy 1 collides with a high-height portion of the restriction member 3, it is unlikely to get over it, but collides with a low-height portion of the restriction member 3. In this case, depending on the weight and shape of the vehicle toy 1, the speed and direction at the time of collision, the vehicle toy 1 may get over the limiting member 3 and jump out.

The provision of the low-height portion of the restriction member 3 may be advantageous or disadvantageous depending on the individuality of the vehicle toy 1. For example, when the vehicle-type toy 1 has good straightness and a large speed can be obtained (the wheel game table 2
It is considered that it depends on various factors such as the friction coefficient with the vehicle body weight, the position of the center of gravity, and the position of the center of gravity). There is a disadvantage. On the other hand, when the vehicle-type toy 1 has a good spin property, the height of the restricting member 3 is not so disadvantageous, which is relatively advantageous.
In the present embodiment, because of such advantages and disadvantages, it is possible to enjoy the determination itself of the game console 2. For example, the player can enjoy the thrill of whether or not a game console that is advantageous to him is determined. In addition, if the player can select or modify his / her own vehicle toy 1 after determining the game console 2, such selection or modification can be enjoyed.

In this embodiment, since the restriction member 3 has both a high portion and a low portion, even during the game,
Advantageous and disadvantageous changes depending on whether the own vehicle toy 1 is at an advantageous position or at an unfavorable position. Therefore, it is possible to enjoy the ever-changing battle situation.

Although it is desirable that the limiting member 3 surrounds the entire circumference of the moving range, the limiting member 3 may be interrupted in the middle of the movement toy 1
There may be a part that passes by. If the vehicle-type toy 1 passes through the part and goes out, the player loses the game, and the thrill of the game can be enhanced.

FIG. 5 shows parts 31 to 3 of the limiting member 3.
It is the perspective view which showed the shape of 4 respectively. There are parts 31 and 32 in the shape of a quarter arc, and parts 33 and 3 in the form of straight lines.
4 is shown, other shapes may be used. These quadrant-shaped parts and linear parts include those having relatively high heights (31, 33) and those having relatively low heights (32, 34).

At both ends of each of the parts 31 to 34 of the restriction member 3, there are provided joint portions 31a to 34a having joint surfaces perpendicular to the longitudinal direction of the respective parts, so that the respective parts can be joined together without any gap. You can do it freely. Fixing plates 31b to 34b perpendicular to the longitudinal direction are also provided at the centers of the parts 31 to 34.

<2-3. Attachment of Limiting Member> FIG. 6 is a partially enlarged perspective view showing a mode in which each part of the limiting member 3 is attached to the plate member 21. First, as shown in FIGS. 6A and 6B, the joining surfaces of the parts to be joined are aligned and joined. The joint is fixed by sandwiching the joint having the joined joint surfaces with the clip 35. The surfaces to be joined of all the parts used for assembly are joined in the same manner and fixed with another clip 35.

Next, as shown in FIGS. 6C and 6D, the stopper 36 is inserted into the mounting hole 23 of the limiting member from the back surface side of the plate member 21, and the clip 35 and the stopper 36 are engaged with each other. Let Other clip 35 used above
In the same manner, the stopper 36 is also used to engage at the position of the hole 23. Thereby, the limiting member 3 can be positioned and fixed.

Finally, as shown in FIGS. 6 (e) to 6 (g), fixing plates 31b to 34b provided at the centers of the respective parts.
Is engaged with the stopper 36 inserted into the hole 23 from the back surface of the plate member 21. As a result, the restriction member 3 can be firmly fixed to the plate member 21.

The limiting member 3 is preferably attached so as to intersect the planned folding line 22. Thus, even if the plate-shaped portion has the planned bending line 22, there is no fear that the plate member 21 will be bent when the game is performed with the restriction member 3 attached. Further, it is desirable that at least one of the parts of the limiting member 3 is attached so as to intersect the planned folding line 22.

<2-4. Obstacle> FIG. 7 shows the plate member 2
FIG. 1 is a perspective view (a) and a vertical sectional view (b) showing an example of an obstacle attached to No. 1 together with its attachment mode.
The obstacle 41 described here is a triangular pyramid-shaped member that forms an inclined surface within the movement range surrounded by the restriction member 3. The bottom surface of this triangular pyramid is substantially an isosceles triangle, and of the three sides that define this bottom surface, the two surfaces of equal length extend upward, respectively, and are inclined surfaces. The remaining one side is longer than the other two sides, and the surface extending upward from here is a substantially vertical surface. As a result of this vertical surface being arranged along the limiting member 3, the two inclined surfaces are respectively formed uphill toward the limiting member 3. The obstacle 41 is the restriction member 3
The hole can be fixed to the plate member 21 by engaging with the stopper 46 inserted from below the plate member 21 into the hole 24 for attaching an obstacle provided along the inside of the plate member 21.

The obstruction 41 has an isosceles triangular bottom surface, but for example, the quarter-circular arc-shaped part 31 of the limiting member 3 is used.
When it is provided along a line, etc., the remaining one side is formed into a curved shape, and a substantially vertical surface extending upward from the curved side is used as a part 31.
Other shapes such as a convex curved surface conforming to the inner surface shape of

By providing the inclined surface inside the limiting member 3 as described above, the movement of the vehicle toy 1 can be made more varied. For example, as described above, by forming the inclined surface so that the highest part of the inclined surface is located near the restriction member 3, it is possible to easily get over the restriction member 3 when the vehicle toy 1 climbs the inclined surface. . The position of the inclined surface is not limited to the position near the limiting member 3 and may be another position. By providing it at another position, it is possible to make a new movement such that the vehicle-type toy 1 that has climbed the inclined surface becomes easy to roll over.

FIG. 8 is a perspective view showing another example of an obstacle attached to the plate member 21. The obstacle 42 described here is a member having a substantially triangular prism shape, and one of its side surfaces is provided along the inside of the limiting member 3. The other two side surfaces of the obstacle 42 are concave curved surfaces, and the vehicle-type toy 1 traveling toward the obstacle 42 along the restriction member 3 can be turned as shown in the figure. it can.

As a result, the traveling route of the vehicle-type toy 1 becomes more diverse, and the possibility of contact with the opponent because the vehicle-type toy 1 is separated from the restriction member 3 can be increased, and playability is improved. Can be made. In addition, for example, a vehicle-type toy whose traveling speed easily increases is relatively safe as long as it travels along the inside of the restriction member 3, there is little risk of jumping out of the restriction member 3 itself.
When such an obstacle 42 is provided on the track, it is separated from the restriction member 3, and there is a possibility that the obstacle 42 may collide with another obstacle or the restriction member 3 on the opposite side, which is disadvantageous. In this way, the advantages and disadvantages of the game differ depending on the individuality of the vehicle-type toy 1, so that the playability can be enhanced.

Since the method of attaching the obstacle 42 is the same as that of the obstacle 41, the description thereof will be omitted. Obstacle 42
Similarly, it is possible to form a convex curved surface on the obstacle 42 along the inner surface shape of the part 31 when the part is provided along the quarter-arc part 31 of the limiting member 3.

FIG. 9 is a perspective view showing another example of an obstacle attached to the plate member 21. The obstacle 43 described here is a rotating member that freely rotates about a shaft member 47 attached to the plate member 21. The obstacle 43 is
It is equipped with arms that project in three directions, so that it is easy for both cars to get caught in the toy 1.

By providing the rotating member such as the obstacle 43 in the moving range, the traveling direction of the vehicle toy 1 can be changed when the toy 1 contacts. For example,
The vehicle-type toy 1 that has been chased until now may turn into an attack. In this way, the movement of the vehicle-type toy 1 can be made more varied, and the unexpectedness of the game progress can be improved and the playability can be improved.

The rotating member may not have a protruding arm like the obstacle 43, and may have a quadrangular pyramid shape or another pyramid shape like the obstacle 44 as shown in FIG.

The rotating members such as the obstacles 43 and 44 are attached to the plate member 2.
1 is attached to the shaft member 4 as shown in FIG.
7 is a hole 25 for attaching an obstacle from the back side of the plate member 21.
Then, the ring 48 is fitted to the shaft member 47 from the front surface side of the plate member 21. Thereby, the shaft member 47 is fixed to the plate member 21. After that, as shown in FIG. 9B, the rotary member can be attached only by covering the shaft member 47 with the rotary members such as the obstacles 43 and 44.

<3. Modifications> The present invention is not limited to the above embodiment, and various modifications are possible. For example, in the above-described embodiment, the victory or defeat is decided based on the battle result of the vehicle toy 1, but fortune-telling may be performed based on the battle result.
