  Next, when the driving vehicle 2 is released, the mainspring shaft 17 is rotated in the opposite direction by the unwinding force of the mainspring 17a, and the traveling power gear 19 on the mainspring shaft 17 extends the traveling power clutch gear 21 that is always meshed. Moving along the hole 20, the large-diameter gear portion 21 a of the traveling power clutch gear 21 meshes with the small-diameter gear portion 14 b of the intermediate gear 14 to rotate the intermediate gear 14. Since the rotation of the intermediate gear 14 is opposite to the direction of winding tightening, the winding clutch gear 16 is rotated in the opposite direction, moved along the long hole 15, and meshed with the winding gear 18. Eliminate and turn around. Since the large-diameter gear portion 14a of the intermediate gear 14 is always associated with the speed-regulating clutch gear 29 that meshes with the small-diameter gear portion 29b, the intermediate gear 14 moves along the long hole 28 when the rotational direction of the intermediate gear 14 is the rebound direction. The large-diameter gear portion 29a of the speed control clutch gear 29 meshes with the small-diameter wheel portion 30b of the speed increasing gear 30 to transmit the rotation, and the anchor 32 is swung through the star wheel 31 to rotate the driving power gear 19. Adjust the rotation. The speed-controlled rotation rotates the pinion 13 from the large-diameter gear portion 14a of the intermediate gear 14, rotates the drive axle 8, and the drive vehicle 2 moves forward with the connected preceding vehicle 3 by the mainspring power.

  When the mainspring shaft 17 is rotated by the unwinding action of the mainspring 17a, the integral action output rotating gear 22 rotates, the relay gear 24 on the rotating support plate 23 rotates, and the rotating support plate 23 is supported. The action output rotation gear 22 is about to rotate about the mainspring shaft 17, but the rotation support plate 23 is supported with its lower edge in contact with the upper surface of the drive carriage 4 so that a fixed position is secured. The relay gear 2 is rotated at a fixed position on the rotation support plate 23, the driven gear 26 is rotated, and the cam shaft 25 is rotated.

  The eccentric left cam 41a and the right cam 41b formed at the opposite ends of the cam shaft 25 are rotated, and the tilt operating rod 33 is a right cam that contacts the right abutting edge 42b of the slide piece 33b. Extruded by 41b, the rear part is rotated rightward and the front part is rotated leftward about the support shaft 34. Therefore, the right working edge 36b of the rear portion of the tilting actuating rod main body 33a is pushed out in contact with the right abutting portion 48b of the column base 48 of the driving vehicle casing 6, and the front center shaft 5a and the rear center of the driving cart 4 are pushed out. The drive vehicle casing 6 is tilted to the right about the shaft 5b. The linkage operating shaft 37 at the front of the tilting operating rod body 33a drives the associated driving vehicle coupler 50 by turning the rear part thereof to the left about the support shaft 49 and turning the front part thereof to the right. The connecting line of the preceding vehicle coupler 69 and the preceding vehicle 3 that are integrally connected to the vehicle coupler 50 is bent to the right with respect to the driving vehicle 2, so that the preceding vehicle 3 is guided to guide the preceding vehicle 3 and the driving vehicle 2 to the right. Run at once.

  In the drive vehicle coupler 50, as shown in FIG. 15, when the projecting ridge portions 75 projecting downward are provided on both sides of the rear lower surface of the bearing portion that receives the support shaft 49, the drive vehicle coupler 50 is supported by the support shaft 49. The ridge 75 is at the right end when it is turned to the right, and the ridge 75 is at the left end when it is turned to the left. The upper surface of the front edge of the front end extension 6a2 The drive vehicle coupler 50 can be inclined at an abrupt angle in addition to the inclination of the drive vehicle shell 6 toward the opposite side of the drive vehicle coupler 50 around the support shaft 49 that rides on the 6a21. The preceding vehicle casing 57 provided integrally with the preceding vehicle coupler 69 by the additional configuration is added to the inclination of the driving vehicle casing 6 to the right with the front center shaft 56a and the rear center shaft 56b of the preceding carriage 55 as the center. It is possible to incline at a steep angle. Therefore, the preceding vehicle 3 and the driving vehicle 2 travel in a right turn with the preceding vehicle casing 57 and the driving vehicle casing 6 inclined to the right, respectively.

  When the left cam 41a is pushed out in contact with the right abutting edge 42a of the slide piece 33b, the tilting operating rod 33 is rotated around the support shaft 34 on the left side and on the front side on the right side. The left working edge 36a at the rear part of the tilting rod body 33a is pushed out in contact with the left abutting portion 48a of the column base 48 of the driving vehicle casing 6, and the front center shaft 5a and the rear center shaft 5b of the driving cart 4 are pushed out. The drive vehicle casing 6 is tilted to the left with the center at. The linkage operating shaft 37 at the front of the tilting operating rod body 33a rotates the associated drive vehicle coupler 50 around the support shaft 49 to the right and the front to the left. The connecting line of the preceding vehicle 3 is bent to the left side with respect to the driving vehicle 2, and the driving vehicle connector 50 is inclined to the left side. The preceding vehicle casing 57 of the preceding vehicle 3 is tilted to the left, the leading vehicle casing 57 and the driving vehicle casing 6 are respectively tilted to the left, and the leading vehicle 3 and the driving vehicle 2 turn left to guide the leading vehicle 3. Drive to. Accordingly, the preceding vehicle casing 57 and the driving vehicle casing 6 are inclined inwardly of the turning circle, respectively, so that it is possible to perform the figure-shaped turning connected traveling.

  Since the front turning axle 58 is fitted in the bearing hole 62a of the preceding carriage 55 of the preceding vehicle 3 and is supported so as to be able to turn left and right around the central portion of the front turning axle 58, the preceding vehicle of the preceding vehicle 3 is supported. When the shell 57 is tilted to the right, the weight is applied to the right wheel 60 more than the left wheel 60. Therefore, when the vehicle 57 is pushed by the driving vehicle 2 and travels, a large rotational resistance is generated in the right wheel 60, and the bearing It turns around the hole 62a, and the right wheel 60 turns the front turning axle 58 behind the bearing hole 62a and the left wheel 60 turns forward from the bearing hole 62a. Therefore, in addition to the connecting angle between the preceding vehicle 3 and the driving vehicle 2 described above, the turning of the front turning axle 58 helps the right turn of the preceding vehicle 3 and smoothly guides the right turning operation of the preceding vehicle 3. . When the preceding vehicle shell 57 of the preceding vehicle 3 tilts to the left, the front turning axle 58 rotates in the opposite direction and smoothly guides the left turning operation of the preceding vehicle 3. Therefore, the preceding vehicle 3 and the driving vehicle 2 perform the figure- 8 turning connected traveling by inclining the preceding vehicle casing 57 and the driving vehicle casing 6 in the turning direction, respectively.

  The present invention is a toy that is cheaply driven by the mainspring motor, but the two vehicles to be connected are inclined to the inside of the turning circle and are also inclined to the opposite direction. It is possible to perform a running operation with a full sense. Further, since a heavy preceding vehicle leads, there is little turning resistance, and the running distance can be extended as much as possible by smooth running, and an extremely interesting 8-shaped turning connected running toy is provided. it can.
