FIG. 3B is a cross-sectional view taken along the line II ′ of the traveling model body 1. 1 to 3 show a state in which the left half of the horse figure 200 is exposed and the left wheel of the traveling vehicle 100 is removed.

  As shown in FIGS. 1 to 3, the traveling model body 1 is connected to a self-propelled vehicle (carrier) (not shown) by a magnetic force and travels on a predetermined traveling surface in accordance with the traveling of the self-propelled vehicle (carrier). 100, a horse figure 200 attached to the traveling vehicle 100, and a jockey figure 300 attached to the horse figure 200.

  In this configuration, the traveling vehicle 100 includes a carriage 101 and a support column 104 as shown in FIGS. 2 and 3.

・ Dolly 101
As shown in FIG. 3B, the carriage 101 is provided with permanent magnets 11f and 11r. The permanent magnets 11f and 11r are attracted to a magnet provided on a self-propelled vehicle (carrier) (not shown) that travels below the traveling model body 1 with a predetermined traveling surface (plate) interposed therebetween. Therefore, when the self-propelled vehicle (carrier) travels, the traveling model body 1 also travels on a predetermined traveling surface due to the connection by magnetic force. The self-propelled vehicle (carrier) travels between a predetermined traveling surface (plate) and a plate below it, for example, based on computer control.

  Further, wheels 102R (including a left wheel 102L (not shown)) and 103 are attached to the carriage 101. The wheel 103 provided in front of the carriage 101 is attached so as to be rotatable in the left-right direction, and swings as the traveling vehicle 100 turns. For example, when the traveling vehicle 100 makes a right turn, the wheel 103 swings in the right rotation direction, and when the traveling vehicle 100 makes a left turn, the wheel 103 swings in the left rotation direction.

  Wheels 102 </ b> R and 102 </ b> L (hereinafter referred to as 102 </ b> R / L) are fixed to both ends of a shaft (shaft) 22 that is rotatably held by the carriage 101. The shaft 22 is provided behind the center of gravity of the traveling model body 1. As a result, the traveling model body 1 can be stably traveled using the wheels 103 and the wheels 102R / L.

  Further, the pulley 23 is also fixed to the shaft 22 as shown in FIG. A belt 13 that passes through the inside of the column 104 is hung on the pulley 23. The belt 13 also hangs on the pulley 14 attached to the holding base 30 fixed to the upper end of the column 104. Therefore, the rotation generated in the wheels 102R / L as the traveling vehicle 100 travels is transmitted to the pulley 14 of the holding table 30 via the shaft 22, the pulley 23, and the belt 13.

  In the present embodiment, a belt 13 having a slightly longer size is used to prevent damage and expansion when a failure occurs. The belt 13 has a tip that is pulled by the pulley 23 of the two sides between the two pulleys 23 and 14 (the left side in FIG. 3B) to obtain a pressing force by the restoring force of the spring 16. The pulley 37 is urged by a pulley 37 that is rotatably attached to the column 104, and is supported by a pulley 29 that is rotatably attached to the column 104. As a result, the belt 13 is distorted into an S shape. As a result, the slack of the belt 13 is eliminated, the belt 13 comes into full contact with the two pulleys 23 and 14, and the rotation of the pulley 23 is reliably transmitted to the pulley 14 via the belt 13.

  However, when the pulley 14 cannot rotate for some reason, for example, the pulley 14 tries to stop the belt 13, whereas the pulley 23 tries to pull in the belt 13, so that the side pulled by the pulley 23 is pulled. As a result, the side pulled by the pulley 23 is restored to a straight line, and the swing member 15 is pushed back. As a result, the belt 13 is slackened on the side pulled out by the pulley 23, and a gap is generated between the pulley 23 and the belt 13, so that the pulley 23 can idle. That is, the rotation of the pulley 14 can be stopped without hindering the traveling of the self-propelled vehicle 100.

  In this way, by using the belt 13 having a slightly long size and distorting the belt 13 so that it can be restored by the force of a spring or the like, it is possible to avoid forcibly rotating the pulley 14 when a failure occurs, and to prevent the damage from expanding. The Note that the elastic body that applies the force for biasing the swing member 15 is not limited to the spring 16, and rubber or the like may be used.

As a result, the body frame 52R / L can swing about the shaft 45, which is a stationary rotation shaft.

  The body frame 52R / L has holes 52Rb and 52Lb, respectively. A shaft 48 is rotatably attached to the holes 52Rb and 52Lb. A gear 47 and a circular eccentric cam 49 are fixed to the shaft 48. The gear 47 meshes with the gear 46. The eccentric cam 49 is carried on the rail 30 c of the holding table 30. Therefore, when the gear 47 rotates in response to the rotation from the gear 46, the eccentric cam 49 rotates with the rotation of the gear 47, and the shaft 48 moves up and down with respect to the rail 30c. As a result, the body frame 52R / L swings around the shaft 45.

  The body frame 52R has holes 52Rc, 52Rd, 52Re, 52Rf, and 52Rg. The body frame 52L has holes 52Lc, 52Ld, 52Le, 52Lf, and 52Lg. The body cover 38R has holes 38Ra and 38Rb. The body cover 38L has holes 38La and 38Lb.

  Holes 52Rc and 52Lc of body frame 52R / L are connected to holes 53fc provided in crotch member 53f using connecting pins 40R and 40L, respectively. The hole 52Rd of the trunk frame 52R is coupled to the hole 53fa provided in the crotch member 53f using a coupling pin (not shown) together with the hole 38Ra of the trunk cover 38R. Similarly, the hole 52Ld of the body frame 52L is connected to the hole 53fb provided in the crotch member 53f using a connection pin (not shown) together with the hole 38La of the body cover 38L. The holes 52Re and 52Le of the fuselage frame 52R / L are coupled to the holes 53ra provided in the buttocks member 53r using coupling pins (not shown) together with the holes 38Rb and 38Lb of the trunk cover 38R / L. The holes 52Rf and 52Lf of the body frame 52R / L are connected to a hole 53rb provided in the buttocks member 53r using connection pins 41R and 41L, respectively.

  By assembling the body internal mechanism parts group 210 and the body cover 38R / L as described above, the body portion 201 in the horse figure 200 is configured.

... (Right) Front leg 202R and rear leg 203R
Next, an enlarged view of the right leg part group 220R and parts related thereto is shown in FIG. 8, and the configuration of the front leg part 202R and the rear leg part 203R in the horse-shaped figure 200 will be described using this.

... (Right) Front leg 202R
First, the configuration of the right front leg 202R will be described. As shown in FIG. 8, the right front leg 202R has a thigh member 57fR, a shin member 60fR, and a foot member 63fR as its main components.

  The thigh member 57fR has a hole 57fRa provided on the crotch side. The connecting pin 40R described above is inserted into the hole 57fRa. Accordingly, the thigh member 57fR is attached to the body frame 52R so as to be swingable about the connecting pin 40R.

  The thigh member 57fR has a hole 57fRb provided on the knee side. Further, the shin member 60fR has a hole 60fRa provided on the knee side. A connecting pin 61fR is inserted into these holes 57fRb and 60fRa. Thereby, the shin member 60fR is attached to the thigh member 57fR so as to be swingable about the connecting pin 61fR.

  The shin member 60fR has a hole 60fRc provided on the ankle side. Further, the foot member 63fR has a hole 63fRa provided on the ankle side. A connecting pin 65fR is inserted into these holes 60fRc and 63fRa. Accordingly, the foot member 63fR is attached to the shin member 60fR so as to be swingable about the connecting pin 65fR.

  In addition, a circular eccentric cam 54fR having a convex rail formed on the peripheral side surface is fixed to the shaft 45 protruding from the body frame 52R with the center shifted. The eccentric cam 54fR has a hole 54fRa. One end of a link pin 55fR bent in a U shape is engaged with the hole 54fRa. The other end of the link pin 55fR is engaged with a hole 57fRd provided at a position near the crotch of the thigh member 57fR. Accordingly, when the eccentric cam 54fR rotates about the shaft 45, the thigh member 57fR swings about the connecting pin 40R inserted into the hole 52Rc provided in the body frame 52R.

  Further, the eccentric cam 54fR is slidably fitted into a cam groove 56fRb in which a concave rail is formed on the inner peripheral side surface of the link member 56fR. The cam groove 56fRb has a shape close to an ellipse formed by connecting semicircles with two parallel straight lines. The distance between the two parallel straight lines is the same as the diameter of the eccentric cam 54fR (excluding the convex rail portion). The link member 56fR has arms 56fRd and 56fRe on both sides. The tip of one arm 56fRd has a hole 56fRa. The hole 56fRa is connected to the hole 52Rg of the body frame 52R using the connecting pin 39 described above. Accordingly, the link member 56fR is attached to the body frame 52R so as to be swingable about the connecting pin 39 as an axis. That is, the eccentric cam 54fR is rotated by the rotation transmitted through the shaft 45, so that the eccentric cam 54fR slides in the cam groove 56fRb, whereby the link member 56fR swings around the connecting pin 39 as an axis. .

  The tip of the other arm 56fRe of the link member 56fR has a long hole 56fRc. One end of a link pin 59fR bent in a Z shape is engaged with the elongated hole 56fRc. This one end is also engaged with a hole 58fRa provided in the guide member 58fR that is swingably held by the connecting pin 40R. Therefore, when the link member 56fR swings around the connecting pin 39, the eccentric cam 54fR slides within the cam groove 56fRb, whereby the guide member 58fR swings around the connecting pin 40R.

  The other end of the link pin 59fR is engaged with a hole 60fRb provided at a position near the knee of the shin member 60fR. Therefore, the thigh member 57fR and the guide member 58fR are independently swung around the connecting pin 40R as an axis by different link mechanisms (link mechanism including the link pin 55fR or link mechanism including the link member 56fR). The member 60fR swings with respect to the thigh member 57fR about the connecting pin 61fR. In other words, when the positional relationship (angle) between the thigh member 57fR and the guide member 58fR changes, the shin member 60fR swings about the connecting pin 61fR. The link pin 55fR is a first link that transmits the rotation of the eccentric cam 54fR to the front leg portion 202R, and functions as a first transmission portion. The link member 56fR, the guide member 58fR, and the link pin 59fR are second links that transmit the rotation of the eccentric cam 54fR to the front leg portion 202R, and function as a second transmission portion.

  Further, the thigh member 57fR has a hole 57fRc provided at a position closer to the knee. One end of a link pin 62fR bent into a Z shape is engaged with the hole 57fRc. The other end of the link pin 62fR is engaged with a hole 63fRb provided in the foot member 63fR. Therefore, when the shin member 60fR swings with respect to the thigh member 57fR about the connecting pin 61fR, the foot member 63fR swings about the connecting pin 65fR. In other words, when the positional relationship between the thigh member 57fR and the shin member 60fR changes, the foot member 63fR swings about the connecting pin 65fR.

  A cover member 64fR is attached to the thigh member 57fR, and at least a part of the link mechanism and the joint attached to the thigh member 57fR is protected.

... (Right) Rear leg 203R
Next, the configuration of the right front leg 202R will be described. As shown in FIG. 8, the right front leg 202R has a thigh member 57rR, a shin member 60rR, and a foot member 63rR as its main components.

  The thigh member 57rR has a hole 57rRa provided on the crotch side. The connecting pin 41R described above is inserted into the hole 57rRa. Thereby, the thigh member 57rR is attached to the body frame 52R so as to be swingable about the connecting pin 41R.

  The thigh member 57rR has a hole 57rRb provided on the knee side. Further, the shin member 60rR has a hole 60rRa provided on the knee side. A connecting pin 61rR is inserted into these holes 57rRb and 60rRa. Accordingly, the shin member 60rR is attached to the thigh member 57rR so as to be swingable about the connecting pin 61rR.

  The shin member 60rR has a hole 60rRc provided on the ankle side. Further, the foot member 63rR has a hole 63rRa provided on the ankle side. A connecting pin 65rR is inserted into the holes 60rRc and 63rRa. Accordingly, the foot member 63rR is attached to the shin member 60rR so as to be swingable about the connecting pin 65rR.

  In addition, a circular eccentric cam 54rR having a convex rail formed on the peripheral side surface is fixed to the shaft 48 protruding from the body frame 52R with the center shifted. The eccentric cam 54rR has a hole 54rRa. One end of a link pin 55rR bent in a U-shape is engaged with the hole 54rRa. The other end of the link pin 55rR is engaged with a hole 57rRd provided at a position near the crotch of the thigh member 57rR. Therefore, when the eccentric cam 54rR rotates around the shaft 48, the thigh member 57rR swings around the connecting pin 41R fitted in the hole 52Rf provided in the body frame 52R.

  Further, the eccentric cam 54rR is slidably fitted in the cam groove 56rRb in which a concave rail is formed on the inner peripheral side surface of the link member 56rR. The cam groove 56rRb has a shape close to an ellipse formed by connecting semicircles with two parallel straight lines. The distance between the two parallel straight lines is the same as the diameter of the eccentric cam 54rR (excluding the convex rail portion). The link member 56rR has arms 56rRd and 56rRe on both sides. The tip of one arm 56rRd has a hole 56rRa. The hole 56rRa is connected to the hole 52Rg of the body frame 52R using the connecting pin 39 described above. Accordingly, the link member 56rR is attached to the body frame 52R so as to be swingable about the connecting pin 39 as an axis. That is, the eccentric cam 54rR is rotated by the rotation transmitted through the shaft 48, so that the eccentric cam 54rR slides in the cam groove 56rRb, and thereby the link member 56rR swings around the connecting pin 39 as an axis. .

  The tip of the other arm 56rRe of the link member 56rR has a long hole 56rRc. One end of a link pin 59rR bent in a Z shape is engaged with the elongated hole 56rRc. This one end is also engaged with a hole 58rRa provided in the guide member 58rR that is swingably held by the connecting pin 41R. Therefore, when the link member 56rR swings around the connecting pin 39, the eccentric cam 54rR slides within the cam groove 56rRb, and thereby the guide member 58rR swings around the connecting pin 41R.

  The other end of the link pin 59rR is engaged with a hole 60rRb provided at a position near the knee of the shin member 60rR. Accordingly, the thigh member 57rR and the guide member 58rR are independently swung around the connecting pin 41R as an axis by different link mechanisms (link mechanism including the link pin 55rR or link mechanism including the link member 56rR). The member 60rR swings with respect to the thigh member 57rR around the connecting pin 61rR. In other words, when the positional relationship (angle) between the thigh member 57rR and the guide member 58rR changes, the shin member 60rR swings about the connecting pin 61rR as an axis. The link pin 55rR is a first link that transmits the rotation of the eccentric cam 54rR to the front leg portion 202R, and functions as a first transmission portion. The link member 56rR, the guide member 58rR, and the link pin 59rR are second links that transmit the rotation of the eccentric cam 54rR to the rear leg portion 203R, and function as a second transmission portion.

  Further, the thigh member 57rR has a hole 57rRc provided at a position closer to the knee. One end of a link pin 62rR bent into a Z shape is engaged with the hole 57rRc. The other end of the link pin 62rR is engaged with a hole 63rRb provided in the foot member 63rR. Therefore, when the shin member 60rR swings with respect to the thigh member 57rR about the connecting pin 61rR, the foot member 63rR swings about the connecting pin 65rR. In other words, when the positional relationship between the thigh member 57rR and the shin member 60rR changes, the foot member 63rR swings about the connecting pin 65rR as an axis.

  Note that a cover member 64rR is attached to the thigh member 57rR, and at least a part of the link mechanism and the joint attached to the thigh member 57rR is protected.

Next, an enlarged view of the left leg part group 220L and parts related thereto is shown in FIG. 9, and the configuration of the front leg part 202L and the rear leg part 203L in the horse-shaped figure 200 will be described using this.

... (Left) Front leg 202L
First, the configuration of the right front leg 202L will be described. As shown in FIG. 9, the right front leg 202L has a thigh member 57fL, a shin member 60fL, and a foot member 63fL as its main components.

  The thigh member 57fL has a hole 57fLa provided on the crotch side. The connecting pin 40L described above is inserted into the hole 57fLa. Accordingly, the thigh member 57fL is attached to the body frame 52L so as to be swingable about the connecting pin 40L.

  The thigh member 57fL has a hole 57fLb provided on the knee side. Further, the shin member 60fL has a hole 60fLa provided on the knee side. A connecting pin 61fL is inserted into these holes 57fLb and 60fLa. Thereby, the shin member 60fL is attached to the thigh member 57fL so as to be swingable about the connecting pin 61fL.

  The shin member 60fL has a hole 60fLc provided on the ankle side. Further, the foot member 63fL has a hole 63fLa provided on the ankle side. A connecting pin 65fL is inserted into these holes 60fLc and 63fLa. Accordingly, the foot member 63fL is attached to the shin member 60fL so as to be swingable about the connecting pin 65fL.

  In addition, a circular eccentric cam 54fL having a convex rail formed on the peripheral side surface is fixed to the shaft 45 protruding from the body frame 52L with the center shifted. The eccentric cam 54fL has a hole 54fLa. One end of a link pin 55fL bent into a U-shape is engaged with the hole 54fLa. The other end of the link pin 55fL is engaged with a hole 57fLd provided at a position near the crotch of the thigh member 57fL. Accordingly, when the eccentric cam 54fL rotates around the shaft 45, the thigh member 57fL swings around the connecting pin 40L fitted into the hole 52Lc provided in the body frame 52L.

  Further, the eccentric cam 54fL is slidably fitted into a cam groove 56fLb in which a concave rail is formed on the inner peripheral side surface of the link member 56fL. The cam groove 56fLb has a shape close to an ellipse formed by connecting semicircles with two parallel straight lines. The distance between the two parallel straight lines is the same as the diameter of the eccentric cam 54fL (excluding the convex rail portion). The link member 56fL has arms 56fLd and 56fLe on both sides. The tip of one arm 56fLd has a hole 56fLa. The hole 56fLa is connected to the hole 52Lg of the body frame 52L using the connecting pin 39 described above. Accordingly, the link member 56fL is attached to the body frame 52L so as to be swingable about the connecting pin 39 as an axis. That is, the eccentric cam 54fL is rotated by the rotation transmitted through the shaft 45, so that the eccentric cam 54fL slides in the cam groove 56fLb, whereby the link member 56fL swings around the connecting pin 39 as an axis. .

  The tip of the other arm 56fLe of the link member 56fL has a long hole 56fLc. One end of a link pin 59fL bent in a Z shape is engaged with the elongated hole 56fLc. This one end is also engaged with a hole 58fLa provided in the guide member 58fL that is swingably held by the connecting pin 40L. Therefore, when the link member 56fL swings around the connecting pin 39, the eccentric cam 54rL slides within the cam groove 56rLb, and thereby the guide member 58fL swings around the connecting pin 40L.

  The other end of the link pin 59fL is engaged with a hole 60fLb provided at a position near the knee of the shin member 60fL. Accordingly, the thigh member 57fL and the guide member 58fL are independently swung around the connecting pin 40L as an axis by different link mechanisms (link mechanism including the link pin 55fL or link mechanism including the link member 56fL). The member 60fL swings with respect to the thigh member 57fL around the connecting pin 61fL. In other words, when the positional relationship (angle) between the thigh member 57fL and the guide member 58fL changes, the shin member 60fL swings around the connection pin 61fL. The link pin 55fL is a first link that transmits the rotation of the eccentric cam 54fL to the front leg portion 202L, and functions as a first transmission portion. The link member 56fL, the guide member 58fL, and the link pin 59fL are second links that transmit the rotation of the eccentric cam 54fL to the front leg portion 202L, and function as a second transmission portion.

  Further, the thigh member 57fL has a hole 57fLc provided at a position closer to the knee. One end of a link pin 62fL bent into a Z shape is engaged with the hole 57fLc. The other end of the link pin 62fL is engaged with a hole 63fLb provided in the foot member 63fL. Accordingly, when the shin member 60fL swings with respect to the thigh member 57fL about the connecting pin 61fL, the foot member 63fL swings about the connecting pin 65fL. In other words, when the positional relationship between the thigh member 57fL and the shin member 60fL changes, the foot member 63fL swings about the connecting pin 65fL.

  A cover member 64fL is attached to the thigh member 57fL, and at least a part of the link mechanism and the joint attached to the thigh member 57fL is protected.

.... (Left) Rear leg 203L
Next, the configuration of the right front leg 202L will be described. As shown in FIG. 9, the right front leg 202L has a thigh member 57rL, a shin member 60rL, and a foot member 63rL as its main components.

  The thigh member 57rL has a hole 57rLa provided on the crotch side. The connecting pin 41L described above is inserted into the hole 57rLa. Thus, the thigh member 57rL is attached to the trunk frame 52L so as to be swingable about the connecting pin 41L.

  The thigh member 57rL has a hole 57rLb provided on the knee side. Further, the shin member 60rL has a hole 60rLa provided on the knee side. A connecting pin 61rL is inserted into these holes 57rLb and 60rLa. Thereby, the shin member 60rL is attached to the thigh member 57rL so as to be swingable about the connecting pin 61rL.

  The shin member 60rL has a hole 60rLc provided on the ankle side. Further, the foot member 63rL has a hole 63rLa provided on the ankle side. A connecting pin 65rL is inserted into these holes 60rLc and 63rLa. Accordingly, the foot member 63rL is attached to the shin member 60rL so as to be swingable about the connecting pin 65rL.

  In addition, a circular eccentric cam 54rL having a convex rail formed on the peripheral side surface is fixed to the shaft 45 protruding from the body frame 52L with the center shifted. The eccentric cam 54rL has a hole 54rLa. One end of a link pin 55rL bent into a U-shape is engaged with the hole 54rLa. The other end of the link pin 55rL is engaged with a hole 57rLd provided at a position near the crotch of the thigh member 57rL. Accordingly, when the eccentric cam 54rL rotates about the shaft 45, the thigh member 57rL swings about the connecting pin 41L fitted in the hole 52Lf provided in the body frame 52L.

  Further, the eccentric cam 54rL is slidably fitted in the cam groove 56rLb in which a concave rail is formed on the inner peripheral side surface of the link member 56rL. The cam groove 56rLb has a shape close to an ellipse formed by connecting semicircles with two parallel straight lines. The distance between the two parallel straight lines is the same as the diameter of the eccentric cam 54rL (excluding the convex rail portion). The link member 56rL has arms 56rLd and 56rLe on both sides. The tip of one arm 56rLd has a hole 56rLa. The hole 56rLa is connected to the hole 52Lg of the body frame 52L using the connecting pin 39 described above. Accordingly, the link member 56rL is attached to the body frame 52L so as to be swingable about the connecting pin 39 as an axis. That is, the eccentric cam 54rL is rotated by the rotation transmitted through the shaft 45, whereby the eccentric cam 54rL slides in the cam groove 56rLb, and thereby the link member 56rL swings around the connecting pin 39 as an axis. .

  The tip of the other arm 56rLe of the link member 56rL has a long hole 56rLc. One end of a link pin 59rL bent in a Z shape is engaged with the elongated hole 56rLc. This one end is also engaged with a hole 58rLa provided in the guide member 58rL that is swingably held by the connecting pin 41L. Therefore, when the link member 56rL swings around the connecting pin 39, the eccentric cam 54rL slides within the cam groove 56rLb, whereby the guide member 58rL swings around the connecting pin 41L.

  The other end of the link pin 59rL is engaged with a hole 60rLb provided at a position near the knee of the shin member 60rL. Accordingly, the thigh member 57rL and the guide member 58rL are independently swung around the connection pin 41L by the link mechanism (link mechanism including the link pin 55rL or link mechanism including the link member 56rL) different from each other. The member 60rL swings with respect to the thigh member 57rL about the connecting pin 61rL. In other words, when the positional relationship (angle) between the thigh member 57rL and the guide member 58rL changes, the shin member 60rL swings about the connecting pin 61rL. The link pin 55rL is a first link that transmits the rotation of the eccentric cam 54rL to the front leg portion 202L, and functions as a first transmission portion. The link member 56rL, the guide member 58rL, and the link pin 59rL are second links that transmit the rotation of the eccentric cam 54rL to the rear leg portion 203L, and function as a second transmission portion.

The other end of the link pin 62rL is engaged with a hole 63rLb provided in the foot member 63rL. Therefore, when the shin member 60rL swings with respect to the thigh member 57rL about the connecting pin 61rL, the foot member 63rL swings about the connecting pin 65rL. In other words, the foot member 63rL swings about the connecting pin 65rL as the positional relationship between the thigh member 57rL and the shin member 60rL changes.

  A cover member 64rL is attached to the thigh member 57rL, and at least a part of the link mechanism and the joint attached to the thigh member 57rL is protected.

Accordingly, the link member 78 is attached to the body frame 52R / L so as to be swingable about the connecting pin 39 as an axis.

  In the hole 78b provided at the other end of the link member 78, the connecting pin 79 is fitted together with the holes 85Ra and 85La provided in the neck member 85R / L. Accordingly, the neck member 85R / L swings about the connecting pin 87 as the body frame 52R / L swings with respect to the fixed plate 42.

  Further, both ends of the link member 80 are divided into two forks, and holes 80a and 80b are provided at the respective ends. A connecting pin 81 is inserted into a hole 80 a provided at one end together with a hole 42 d provided in the fixing plate 42. Thereby, the link member 80 is attached to the fixed plate 42 so as to be swingable about the connecting pin 81 as an axis.

  In the hole 80b provided at the other end of the link member 80, the connecting pin 82 is fitted together with the hole 83a provided near the center of the head locking member 83. Thereby, the head locking member 83 is attached to the link member 80 so as to be swingable about the connecting pin 82 as an axis.

  A hole 83b is also provided at one end of the head locking member 83. The connecting pin 84 is inserted into the hole 83b together with the holes 85Rb and 85Lb provided in the neck member 85R / L. Accordingly, the neck member 85R / L and the link member 80 swing about the different connection pins 87 or 81, thereby connecting the fixing plate 42, the neck member 85L, and the link members 80 and 83, respectively. A quadrangle formed by 87, 81, 82, and 84 (however, in this embodiment, the quadrangle is handled in a two-dimensional manner by projecting it onto a plane that is perpendicular to the traveling surface and parallel to the traveling direction. The positional relationship between the head locking member 83 and the neck member 85R / L is changed by using the principle of deformation without changing the length of the side). To do.

  The other end of the link member 88 is bifurcated, and each has a hole 88a. In the hole 88a, the connecting pin 87 that is inserted into the hole 42e of the fixing plate 42 described above is inserted. That is, the link member 88 is attached to the fixed plate 42 so as to be swingable about the connecting pin 87 inserted into the hole 42e of the fixed plate 42.

  From the above configuration, when the body cover 38R / L swings in accordance with the swing of the body frame 52R / L, the body cover 38R / L (however, it is regarded as integral with the body frame 52R / L) and the leg member 90R / L. Using the principle that the sides of the quadrangle formed by the connecting pins 91R / L, 89, 87 and the shaft 45 that connect the link member 88 and the fixing plate 42 change without changing the length, the body cover 38R / L And the positional relationship between the leg member 90R / L changes. That is, when the torso cover 38R / L swings, the jockey figure 300 from the head to the leg (the leg member 90R / L and the head and the torso member 92) operates to move the waist up and down.

  In addition, holes 92 a are provided in the shoulder portions on both sides of the head and body member 92. A connecting pin 94 is fitted into the hole 92a. At both ends of the connecting pin 94, holes 93Ra and 93La provided in the shoulder portions of the first arm member 93R / L are fitted. Thus, the first arm member 93R / L is attached to the head and body member 92 so as to be swingable about the connecting pin 94.

  The elbow portion of the first arm member 93R / L is also provided with holes 93Rb and 93Lb, respectively. Connection pins 95R and 95L (hereinafter referred to as 95R / L) are inserted into the holes 93Rb and 93Lb, respectively. The connecting pin 95R / L is also inserted into holes 96Ra and 96La provided in the elbow portion of the second arm member 96R / L. Thus, the second arm member 96R / L is attached to the first arm member 93R / L so as to be swingable about the connecting pin 95R / L.

  In addition, holes 96Rb and 96Lb are provided in the hand portion of the second arm member 96R / L, respectively. A connecting pin 97 is inserted into the holes 96Rb and 96Lb. The connecting pin 97 is inserted into holes 85Rd and 85Ld provided in the neck member 85R / L. Thus, the second arm member 96R / L is attached to the neck member 85R / L so as to be swingable about the connecting pin 97 as an axis.

  From the above configuration, when the positional relationship between the head 204 to the leg (the leg member 90R / L and the head and body member 92) of the jockey figure 300 and the neck 204 changes, the first arm member 93R / L and the second arm member It moves so that the elbow of the arm part 303R / L composed of 96R / L bends and stretches.

  In the above configuration, each link member is a rod-shaped member, and each link pin and each connection pin are pin-shaped members. In addition, each link member, each link pin, and each connection pin function as a connection member that connects or links each component or part so that they can swing with each other. Further, each shaft is a member that forms a rotation axis such as a gear fixed to the shaft or an eccentric cam. Furthermore, a gear is used for each gear. Furthermore, in this embodiment, a circular rotating plate is used for each eccentric cam that is a rotating member. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and an elliptical plate or a plate having another shape is appropriately used. It is also possible.

[Overall operation]
Next, schematic operations of the horse figure 200 and the jockey figure 300 in the traveling model body 1 according to this embodiment will be described with reference to FIG. In FIG. 11, attention is paid only to the left side of the horse figure 200 and the jockey figure 300, and the configuration is shown by a framework using lines. Further, in the flow shown in FIG. 11, (a) to (l) indicate one cycle. Accordingly, the horse figure 200 and the jockey figure 300 repeatedly perform a series of operations shown in FIGS.

  In FIG. 11, when the gear 46 rotates about the shaft 45, the gear 47 meshing with the shaft 46 rotates, and the eccentric cam 49 fixed to the same shaft 48 as the gear 47 also rotates. Since the eccentric cam 49 is carried by the rail 30c on the holding base 30, the eccentric cam 49 rotates, and as shown in FIGS. 11 (a) to 11 (l), a horse-shaped figure to which the shaft 48 is connected. The body part 201 of 200 swings with respect to the fixed plate 42 fixed to the holding base 30 (not shown). Thereby, the movement of the trunk when the horse runs is simulated.

  In addition, since the positional relationship between the fixing plate 42 and the body portion 201 is changed by the swinging of the body portion 201, the neck portion 204 linked to them is provided as shown in FIGS. It swings with respect to the fixed plate 42. This simulates the movement of the neck when the horse runs.

  Further, since the positional relationship between the fixing plate 42 and the neck portion 204 changes due to the swing of the neck portion 204, as shown in FIGS. 11 (a) to (l), the head portion 205 linked to these portions has a neck portion. Oscillates with respect to 204. This simulates the movement of the head when the horse runs.

  Further, when the body part 201 and the neck part 204 are swung, the positional relationship thereof changes. Therefore, as shown in FIGS. 11A to 11, the head and the body part of the jockey figure 300 linked to them. 301 and the leg 302L swing. This simulates the movement of a jockey when riding a running horse. At this time, since the arm part 303L of the jockey figure 300 is connected to the neck part 204 of the horse figure 200, as shown in FIGS. The elbow of the arm portion 303L bends and stretches in accordance with the movement of the body portion 301 and the neck portion 204, thereby simulating the motion of the jockey's arm when running the horse.

  Further, when the eccentric cam 54fL rotates about the shaft 45, as shown in FIGS. 11A to 11L, the eccentric cam 54fL and the front leg portion 202L linked to the body portion 201 swing for each joint. This simulates the operation of the front legs when the horse runs. Similarly, when the eccentric cam 54rL rotates about the shaft 48, as shown in FIGS. 11A to 11L, the eccentric cam 54rL and the rear leg portion 203L linked to the body portion 201 swing for each joint. To do. This simulates the movement of the hind legs when the horse runs.

-Operations of the body part 201, the neck part 204 and the head part 205 and the jockey figure 300 Here, paying attention to the body part 201, the neck part 204 and the head part 205 and the jockey figure 300 of the horse figure figure 200 in the above configuration, These detailed operations will be described with reference to the drawings.

  FIG. 12 is an excerpt from the assembly diagram shown in FIG. 4 of the configuration involved in this operation description. As apparent from a comparison between FIG. 12 and FIG. 4 showing the overall configuration, this operation includes a traveling vehicle parts group 110 (see FIG. 5), a fuselage internal mechanism parts group 210 (see FIG. 7), and a fuselage cover. 38R / L (see FIG. 7 or FIG. 10), head internal mechanism parts group 230 (see FIG. 10), head cover parts group 230R / L (see FIG. 10), and jockey type gear parts group 310 (see FIG. 10) And the connecting pin 39 (see FIG. 7 or FIG. 10).

  FIG. 14 and FIG. 13 show the configuration of the body part 201, the neck part 204, the head part 205, and the jockey figure 300 of the horse figure 200 constructed by assembling the parts shown in FIG. 13 (a) is a top view thereof, FIG. 13 (b) is a sectional view taken along line II-II ′ in FIG. 13 (a), and FIG. 14 (a) is a right side view thereof. 14 (b) is a left side view thereof. FIG. 15 shows a series of flows when the body part 201, the neck part 204, the head part 205, and the jockey figure 300 are operated. However, in FIGS. 13 to 15, the right body frame 52R, body cover 38R, neck member 85R, head member 86R, and belt cover 27R are omitted. Further, the two-dot broken line in FIG. 15 is an auxiliary line for clarifying the movement. Further, in the flow shown in FIG. 15, (a) to (f) indicate one cycle. Therefore, the body part 201, the neck part 204, the head part 205, and the jockey figure 300 repeatedly perform a series of operations shown in FIGS.

  First, as shown in FIG. 13B, the rotation generated in the wheel 102 </ b> R / L is transmitted to the pulley 14 held on the holding table 30 via the shaft 22, the pulley 23, and the belt 13. Since a gear 31 (not shown) is also fixed to the shaft 32 to which the pulley 14 is fixed (see FIG. 5), the gear 31 rotates in accordance with the rotation of the pulley 14. When the gear 31 is rotated, a gear 50 (not shown) that meshes with the gear 31 is rotated. Since the gear 50a is also fixed to the shaft 51 to which the gear 50 is fixed (see FIG. 7), the gear 50a rotates in accordance with the rotation of the gear 50. When the gear 50a rotates, the gear 44 engaged therewith rotates.

  Next, as shown in FIG. 14A, since the gear 46 is also fixed to the shaft 45 to which the gear 44 is fixed, the gear 46 rotates in accordance with the rotation of the gear 44. When the gear 46 rotates, the gear 47 that meshes with the gear 46 rotates.

  Next, as shown in FIG. 13B, since the eccentric cam 49 is fixed to the shaft 48 to which the gear 47 is fixed, the eccentric cam 49 rotates in accordance with the rotation of the gear 47. Since the eccentric cam 49 is carried on the rail 30 c of the holding table 30, the shaft 48 moves up and down with respect to the holding table 30 by the rotation of the eccentric cam 49. When the shaft 48 moves up and down with respect to the holding table 30, the body frame 52 </ b> L connected to the shaft 48 swings around the shaft 45, which is a rotating shaft fixed to the fixed plate 42. As a result, as shown in FIGS. 15A to 15F, the torso 201 of the horse-shaped figure 200 swings its waist up and down so as to simulate the movement of the torso when the horse runs.

  For example, when operating from the state shown in FIG. 15A to the state shown in FIG. 15D, the body portion 201 rotates counterclockwise in the drawing around the shaft 45 held by the solid plate 42. Thereby, the trunk | drum 201 simulates the operation | movement which lowers | hangs the waist when a horse runs. Further, when operating from the state shown in FIG. 15 (d) to the state shown in FIG. 15 (a), the body portion 201 rotates clockwise in the drawing around the shaft 45 held by the fixed plate 42. Thereby, the trunk | drum 201 simulates the operation | movement which raises the waist when a horse runs. Refer to FIG. 13B for reference verification.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 13B, when the body frame 52L swings around the shaft 45, this movement is applied to the neck member 85L via the link members 78 connected using the connecting pins 39 and 79, respectively. introduce. As a result, the neck member 85L swings around the connecting pin 87 inserted into the fixing plate 42. That is, as shown in FIGS. 15A to 15F, the neck portion 204 of the horse-shaped figure 200 simulates swinging back and forth of the neck when the horse runs.

  For example, when operating from the state shown in FIG. 15A to the state shown in FIG. 15D, the left rotation of the body frame 52L acts on the neck member 85L via the link member 78, and the neck member 85L becomes a fixed plate. Rotate clockwise in the drawing around the connecting pin 87 held by the shaft 42. Thereby, the neck part 204 simulates the operation | movement which raises the neck at the time of a horse run. Further, when operating from the state shown in FIG. 15D to the state shown in FIG. 15A, the right rotation of the body frame 52L acts on the neck member 85L via the link member 78, and the neck member 85L is fixed to the fixing plate. Rotate counterclockwise in the drawing around the connecting pin 87 held by 42. As a result, the neck 204 simulates the action of lowering the neck when the horse runs. Refer to FIG. 13B for reference verification.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 13B, when the neck member 85L swings around the connection pin 87, the connection pins 87, 81 for connecting the fixing plate 42, the neck member 85L, and the link members 80 and 83, respectively. The square formed by 82 and 84 is deformed without changing the length of the sides. Using this principle, the positional relationship, particularly the angle, between the head locking member 83 and the neck member 85L changes. Since the head member 86L is fixed to the rod-like portion 83c of the head locking member 83, the positional relationship between the head locking member 83 and the neck member 85L changes, so that the neck member 85L and the head member 86L The positional relationship of changes. That is, as shown in FIGS. 15A to 15F, the head 205 of the horse-shaped figure 200 simulates the movement of the head forward and backward when the horse runs. At this time, by controlling the length of the square sides formed by the connecting pins 87, 81, 82, and 84, the head 205 keeps a substantially constant angle with respect to the running surface, like an actual horse. It can also be configured to move.

  For example, when operating from the state shown in FIG. 15 (a) to the state shown in FIG. 15 (d), the quadrature formed by the connecting pins 87, 81, 82 and 84 is formed by connecting the neck member 85L to the right. Without changing the positions of 87 and 81 and the length of each side, the head member 86L falls in the right direction in the drawing, and the head member 86L slides in the forward direction while maintaining an approximate angle. This simulates the action of the head 205 sliding the head forward when the horse runs. When the neck member 85L rotates counterclockwise when operating from the state shown in FIG. 15D to the state shown in FIG. 15A, the quadrangle formed by the connecting pins 87, 81, 82, and 84 becomes the connecting pin. Without changing the positions of 87 and 81 and the length of each side, the head member 86L rises leftward in the drawing, and the head member 86L slides backward while maintaining a substantially angle. Thus, the head 205 simulates an operation of sliding the head backward when the horse runs. Refer to FIG. 13B for reference verification.

  13B, when the body frame 52L swings around the shaft 45, the body cover 38L (see FIG. 14B) fixed to the body frame 52L, the leg member 90L, and the link member The sides of the quadrangle formed by the connecting pins 91L, 89, and 87 and the shaft 45 that connect the 88 and the fixing plate 42 change without changing the length. Using this principle, the positional relationship, particularly the angle, between the body cover 38L and the leg member 90L changes. A head and body member 92 are fixed to the leg member 90L. Therefore, when the positional relationship between the trunk cover 38L and the leg member 90L changes, the positional relationship between the head of the jockey figure 300 and the trunk member 92 and the leg member 90L and the trunk cover 38L, in particular, the angle changes. That is, as shown in FIGS. 15A to 15F, the posture and weight shift of a jockey riding a running horse from the head to the foot of the jockey figure 300 are simulated. At this time, by controlling the length of the side of the quadrangle formed by the connecting pins 91L, 89, 87 and the shaft 45, the jockey figure 300 can be mounted without changing the approximate center of gravity or posture, like an actual jockey. It is also possible to configure so as to.

  For example, when operating from the state shown in FIG. 15 (a) to the state shown in FIG. 15 (d), the body frame 52L (the body cover 38L regarded as an integral body) rotates counterclockwise so that the connecting pin 91L is in the drawing. As a result, the connecting pin 89 moves downward in the drawing. However, the position of the connecting pin 87 and the shaft 45 and the length of each side among the connecting pins 91L, 89, 87 and the shaft 45 constituting the quadrangle do not change. Accordingly, the shin portion of the jockey figure 300 that is swung by the connecting pins 91L and 89 falls to the right in the drawing with respect to the body frame 52L. At this time, the torso frame 52L rotates leftward in the drawing, that is, swings in the direction of lowering the waist side. Therefore, the jockey figure 300 integrated with the shin portion is the same as the torso frame 52L swings. It operates to float on the frame 52L. As a result, the jockey figure 300 rides on the horse figure 200 without changing the general posture and the center of gravity in the same manner as when riding a horse on which an actual jockey is running. Further, when operating from the state shown in FIG. 15 (d) to the state shown in FIG. 15 (a), the body frame 52L (the body cover 38L regarded as being integral with the body frame) 52 rotates to the right, so that the connecting pin 91L is in the drawing. The connector pin 89 moves rightward, thereby moving the connecting pin 89 upward in the drawing. However, the position of the connecting pin 87 and the shaft 45 and the length of each side among the connecting pins 91L, 89, 87 and the shaft 45 constituting the quadrangle do not change. Therefore, the shin portion of the jockey figure 300 that is swung by the connecting pins 91L and 89 rises to the left in the drawing with respect to the body frame 52L. At this time, the torso frame 52L rotates rightward in the drawing, that is, swings in the direction of raising the waist side. Therefore, the jockey figure 300 integrated with the shin part is the same as the torso frame 52L swings. It operates to sit down with respect to the frame 52L. As a result, the jockey figure 300 rides on the horse figure 200 without changing the general posture and the center of gravity in the same manner as when riding a horse on which an actual jockey is running. Refer to FIG. 13B for reference verification.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 13B, the arm portion 303L (first arm member 93L and second arm member 96L) of the jockey figure 300 can swing on the head and torso member 92 using a connecting pin 94. And a swingable attachment to the neck member 85L using the connecting pin 97. Therefore, the first arm member 93L and the second arm member 96L swing according to the positional relationship between the head and body member 92 and the neck member 85L. That is, as shown in FIGS. 15A to 15F, the arm portion 303L of the jockey figure 300 simulates the bending and stretching of the jockey's elbow when the horse runs.

  For example, when the neck member 85L rotates to the right when operating from the state shown in FIG. 15A to the state shown in FIG. 15D, the distance between the shoulder and the neck member 85L in the head and body member 92 is increased. The elbow, which is the connecting portion between the first arm member 93L and the second arm member 96L, extends. As a result, the arm portion 303L of the jockey figure 300 simulates the operation when the actual jockey presses the neck of the horse. Further, when operating from the state shown in FIG. 15 (d) to the state shown in FIG. 15 (a), the neck member 85L rotates counterclockwise, thereby reducing the distance between the shoulder and the neck member 85L in the head and body member 92. The elbow, which is the connecting portion between the first arm member 93L and the second arm member 96L, bends. As a result, the arm portion 303L of the jockey figure 300 simulates the action of the actual jockey pulling the neck of the horse. Refer to FIG. 13B for reference verification.

  As described above, the traveling model body 1 according to this embodiment includes the carriage (101) that travels on a predetermined traveling surface, the fixing members (42, 43, and 30) fixed to the carriage (101), and the fixing member ( 42, 43 and 30) and a neck portion (204) which is swingably attached to the fixing member (42, 43 and 30) and linked to the body portion (201). ) And a head (205) pivotably connected to the fixing member (42, 43 and 30) using the first connecting member (80) and swingably attached to the neck (204). Therefore, it is possible to transmit the movement of the body part (201) to the neck part (204) so that the neck part (204) can move, and the head part (205) can be moved to the neck part (204). ) Mounting, and further, be linked to the fixed member (42, 43 and 30), it is possible to construct such a head (205) moves with the movement of the neck (204). Thereby, each part operate | moves in relation and it becomes possible to simulate a more realistic and smooth motion. Furthermore, since the body part (201) is used for transmission of movement to the neck part (204), and further, the neck part (204) is used for transmission of movement to the head part (205). No increase in the number of parts can be suppressed.

  In addition, the traveling model body 1 according to this embodiment includes a carriage (101) that travels on a predetermined traveling surface, fixing members (42, 43, and 30) fixed to the carriage (101), and fixing members (42, 43). And 30) is swingably attached to the body portion (201), and is attached to the body portion (201) so as to be swingable, and the first connecting member (88) is used for the fixing members (42, 43 and 30). Therefore, the jockey model (300) can be configured to move in accordance with the movement of the body part (201). Thereby, since each part operate | moves in relation, it becomes possible to simulate a more realistic and smooth motion. Moreover, since the trunk | drum (201) is used for transmission of the motion to a jockey type model (300), it is not necessary to use the components for transmitting a motion separately, and can suppress the increase in a number of parts.

It is a figure which shows the structure of the trunk | drum 201 (only an internal mechanism) and the front leg part 202R of the horse-shaped figure 200 comprised. 17A is a top view thereof, FIG. 17B is a cross-sectional view taken along line III-III ′ in FIG. 17A, and FIG. 18A is a right side view thereof. 18 (b) is a left side view thereof. FIG. 19 shows a series of flows when the body 201 (only the internal mechanism) and the front leg 202R are operated. However, in FIGS. 17 to 19, the body frame 52R / L, the cover member 64fR, and the belt cover 27R are omitted. In addition, a two-dot broken line in FIG. 19 is an auxiliary line for clarifying the movement. Further, in the flow shown in FIG. 19, (a) to (f) indicate one cycle. Accordingly, the front leg 202R / L repeatedly performs a series of operations shown in FIGS. 19A to 19F continuously.

  First, as shown in FIG. 17B, the rotation generated in the wheel 102 </ b> R / L is transmitted to the pulley 14 held on the holding table 30 via the shaft 22, the pulley 23, and the belt 13. Since a gear 31 (not shown) is also fixed to the shaft 32 to which the pulley 14 is fixed (see FIG. 5), the gear 31 rotates in accordance with the rotation of the pulley 14. When the gear 31 is rotated, a gear 50 (not shown) that meshes with the gear 31 is rotated. Since the gear 50a is also fixed to the shaft 51 to which the gear 50 is fixed (see FIG. 7), the gear 50a rotates in accordance with the rotation of the gear 50. When the gear 50a rotates, the gear 44 engaged therewith rotates.

  Next, as shown in FIG. 18A, since the gear 46 is also fixed to the shaft 45 to which the gear 44 is fixed, the gear 46 rotates in accordance with the rotation of the gear 44. When the gear 46 rotates, the gear 47 that meshes with the gear 46 rotates.

  Next, as shown in FIG. 17B, since the eccentric cam 49 is fixed to the shaft 48 to which the gear 47 is fixed, the eccentric cam 49 rotates in accordance with the rotation of the gear 47. Since the eccentric cam 49 is carried on the rail 30 c of the holding table 30, the shaft 48 moves up and down with respect to the holding table 30 by the rotation of the eccentric cam 49. When the shaft 48 moves up and down with respect to the holding table 30, a body frame 52 </ b> R (not shown) connected to the shaft 48 swings around the shaft 45, which is a rotating shaft fixed to the fixed plate 42. As a result, the torso 201 of the horse figure 200 swings its waist up and down so as to simulate the movement of the torso when the horse runs.

  As shown in FIG. 18A, when the eccentric cam 54fR rotates about the shaft 45, the thigh member 57fR connected to the eccentric cam 54fR using the link pin 55fR is connected to the connecting pin 40R (the body not shown). It swings about the hole 52Rc) in the frame 52R. That is, as shown in FIGS. 19A to 19F, the thigh portion of the front leg portion 202R of the horse-shaped figure 200 simulates raising and lowering of the thigh when the horse runs.

  For example, when operating from the state shown in FIG. 19 (f) to the state shown in FIG. 19 (c), the thigh member 57fR is in the drawing with respect to the body frame 52R about the connecting pin 40R held by the body frame 52R. Turn left. Thereby, the front leg portion 202R simulates the operation of raising the thigh when the horse runs. Further, when operating from the state shown in FIG. 19 (c) to the state shown in FIG. 19 (f), the thigh member 57fR is in the drawing with respect to the body frame 52R around the connecting pin 40R held by the body frame 52R. Turn right. As a result, the front leg 202R simulates the operation of lowering the thigh when the horse runs. Refer to FIG. 18B for reference verification.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 18A, the eccentric cam 54fR rotates to slide the eccentric cam 54fR in the cam groove 56fRb. Since the eccentric cam 54fR rotates around the shaft 45 attached off the center, the eccentric cam 54fR rotates while sliding in the cam groove 56fRb, so that the link member 56fR is connected to the connecting pin 39 (the body (not shown)). It swings around the hole 52Rg) in the frame 52R. Since the link member 56fR is connected to the swing member 58fR using one end of the link pin 59fR, the guide member 58fR is connected to the connection pin 40R (the hole in the body frame 52R not shown) by swinging the link member 56fR. 52Rc).

  Further, as described above, the thigh member 57fR and the guide member 58fR swing independently about the connecting pin 40R as an axis by different link mechanisms (link mechanism including the link pin 55fR or link mechanism including the link member 56fR). Thus, as shown in FIG. 18A, the four apexes formed by the two ends of the connection pins 40R and 61fR and the link pin 59fR that connect the thigh member 57fR, the guide member 58fR, and the shin member 60fR, respectively. The shape having a shape (however, the side connecting the connecting pins 40R and 61fR and the side formed by the link pin 59fR intersect. This is hereinafter referred to as a four-point shape) is used without changing the length of the side. Thus, the positional relationship, particularly the angle, between the thigh member 57fR and the shin member 60fR changes. That is, as shown in FIGS. 19A to 19F, the shin portion of the front leg portion 202R of the horse figure 200 simulates knee flexion and extension when the horse runs.

  For example, when operating from the state shown in FIG. 19A to the state shown in FIG. 19D, the shin member 60fR is a drawing with respect to the thigh member 57fR about the connecting pin 61fR held by the thigh member 57fR. Rotate left inside. As a result, the front leg 202R simulates the operation of stretching the knee when the horse runs. Further, when operating from the state shown in FIG. 19 (d) to the state shown in FIG. 19 (a), the shin member 60fR is a drawing relative to the thigh member 57fR with the connecting pin 61fR held by the thigh member 57fR as an axis. Turn right and middle. Thereby, the front leg 202R simulates an operation of bending the knee when the horse runs. Refer to FIG. 18B for reference verification.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 18A, the shin member 60fR swings with respect to the thigh member 57fR about the connecting pin 61fR as an axis, so that the thigh member 57fR, the shin member 60fR, and the foot member 63fR are respectively connected. Using the principle that the four-point shape formed by the two ends of the connecting pins 61fR and 65fR and the link pin 62fR to be connected changes without changing the length of the side, the positional relationship between the shin member 60fR and the foot member 63fR, in particular The angle changes. That is, as shown in FIGS. 19A to 19F, the toe portion of the front leg portion 202R of the horse figure 200 simulates the bending and stretching of the ankle when the horse runs.

  For example, when operating from the state shown in FIG. 19A to the state shown in FIG. 19D, the foot member 63fR is left in the drawing with respect to the shin member 60fR with the connecting pin 65fR held by the shin member 60fR as an axis. Rotate. Thereby, the front leg part 202R simulates the action of extending the ankle when the horse runs. In addition, when operating from the state shown in FIG. 19 (e) to the state shown in FIG. 19 (a), the foot member 63fR has a connecting pin 65fR held by the shin member 60fR as an axis with respect to the shin member 60fR. Rotate. Thereby, the front leg portion 202R simulates an operation of bending the ankle when the horse runs. Refer to FIG. 18B for reference verification.

  In the above description, the right front leg 202R in the horse figure 200 has been described. However, since this operation is the same for the left front leg 202L, the description is omitted here.

.. Operation of Rear Leg Part 203R / L Next, the operation of the rear leg part 203R / L of the horse figure 200 in the configuration shown in FIG. 16 will be described. 20 and 21 assemble the traveling vehicle parts group 110, the fuselage internal mechanism parts group 210, the parts of the rear leg 203R in the right leg parts group 220R, and the connecting pins 39 and 41R among the parts shown in FIG. It is a figure which shows the structure of the trunk | drum 201 (only an internal mechanism) and rear-leg part 203R of the horse-shaped figure 200 comprised by these. 20A is a top view thereof, FIG. 20B is a cross-sectional view taken along line III-III ′ in FIG. 20A, and FIG. 21A is a right side view thereof. 21 (b) is a left side view thereof. FIG. 22 shows a series of flows when the body 201 (only the internal mechanism) and the rear leg 203R are operated. However, in FIGS. 20 to 22, the body frame 52R / L, the cover member 64rR, and the belt cover 27R are omitted. Further, the two-dot broken line in FIG. 22 is an auxiliary line for clarifying the movement. Furthermore, in the flow shown in FIG. 22, (a) to (f) indicate one cycle. Accordingly, the rear leg 203R / L repeatedly performs a series of operations shown in FIGS. 22 (a) to 22 (f) continuously.

  First, as shown in FIG. 20B, the rotation generated in the wheel 102 </ b> R / L is transmitted to the pulley 14 held on the holding table 30 via the shaft 22, the pulley 23, and the belt 13. Since a gear 31 (not shown) is also fixed to the shaft 32 to which the pulley 14 is fixed (see FIG. 5), the gear 31 rotates in accordance with the rotation of the pulley 14. When the gear 31 is rotated, a gear 50 (not shown) that meshes with the gear 31 is rotated. Since the gear 50a is also fixed to the shaft 51 to which the gear 50 is fixed (see FIG. 7), the gear 50a rotates in accordance with the rotation of the gear 50. When the gear 50a rotates, the gear 44 engaged therewith rotates.

  Next, as shown in FIG. 21A, since the gear 46 is also fixed to the shaft 45 to which the gear 44 is fixed, the gear 46 rotates in accordance with the rotation of the gear 44. When the gear 46 rotates, the gear 47 that meshes with the gear 46 rotates.

  Next, as shown in FIG. 20B, since the eccentric cam 49 is fixed to the shaft 48 to which the gear 47 is fixed, the eccentric cam 49 rotates in accordance with the rotation of the gear 47. Since the eccentric cam 49 is carried on the rail 30 c of the holding table 30, the shaft 48 moves up and down with respect to the holding table 30 by the rotation of the eccentric cam 49. When the shaft 48 moves up and down with respect to the holding table 30, a body frame 52 </ b> R (not shown) connected to the shaft 48 swings around the shaft 45, which is a rotating shaft fixed to the fixed plate 42. As a result, the torso 201 of the horse figure 200 swings its waist up and down so as to simulate the movement of the torso when the horse runs.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 21A, when the eccentric cam 54rR rotates about the shaft 48, the thigh member 57rR connected to the eccentric cam 54rR using the link pin 55rR is connected to the connecting pin 41R (the body not shown). It swings around the hole 52Rf) in the frame 52R. That is, as shown in FIGS. 22A to 22F, the thigh portion of the rear leg portion 203R of the horse figure 200 simulates raising and lowering of the thigh when the horse runs.

  For example, when operating from the state shown in FIG. 22 (f) to the state shown in FIG. 22 (c), the thigh member 57rR is in the drawing with respect to the body frame 52R around the connecting pin 41R held by the body frame 52R. Turn right. As a result, the rear leg 203R simulates the action of kicking out the thigh backward when the horse runs. Further, when operating from the state shown in FIG. 22 (d) to the state shown in FIG. 22 (f), the thigh member 57rR is in the drawing with respect to the body frame 52R with the connecting pin 41R held by the body frame 52R as an axis. Turn left. As a result, the rear leg 203R simulates the action of pulling the thigh toward the torso when the horse runs. Refer to FIG. 21B for reference verification.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 21A, the eccentric cam 54rR rotates to slide the eccentric cam 54rR in the cam groove 56rRb. Since the eccentric cam 54rR rotates around the shaft 48 attached off the center, the eccentric cam 54rR rotates while sliding in the cam groove 56rRb, whereby the link member 56rR is connected to the connecting pin 39 (the body (not shown)). It swings around the hole 52Rg) in the frame 52R. Since the link member 56rR is connected to the swing member 58rR using one end of the link pin 59rR, the guide member 58rR is connected to the connection pin 41R (a hole in the body frame 52R (not shown)) by swinging the link member 56rR. 52Rf) as an axis.

  Further, as described above, the thigh member 57rR and the guide member 58rR are independently swung around the connecting pin 41R as an axis by different link mechanisms (link mechanism including the link pin 55rR or link mechanism including the link member 56rR). Thus, as shown in FIG. 21 (a), the four-point shape formed by the two ends of the connecting pins 41R and 61rR and the link pin 59rR that connect the thigh member 57rR, the guide member 58rR, and the shin member 60rR, respectively. Using the principle of deformation without changing the length of the side, the positional relationship, in particular, the angle between the thigh member 57rR and the shin member 60rR changes. That is, as shown in FIGS. 22A to 22F, the shin portion of the rear leg portion 203R of the horse figure 200 simulates the bending and stretching of the knee when the horse runs.

  For example, when operating from the state shown in FIG. 22 (e) to the state shown in FIG. 22 (b), the shin member 60rR is a drawing relative to the thigh member 57rR about the connecting pin 61rR held by the thigh member 57rR. Turn right and middle. As a result, the rear leg 203R simulates the operation of stretching the knee when the horse runs. Further, when operating from the state shown in FIG. 22 (b) to the state shown in FIG. 22 (e), the shin member 60rR is a drawing relative to the thigh member 57rR with the connecting pin 61rR held by the thigh member 57rR as an axis. Rotate left inside. As a result, the rear leg 203R simulates the action of bending the knee when the horse runs. Refer to FIG. 21B for reference verification.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 21A, the shin member 60rR swings with respect to the thigh member 57rR about the connecting pin 61rR as an axis so that the thigh member 57rR, the shin member 60rR, and the foot member 63rR are respectively connected. Using the principle that the four-point shape formed by the two ends of the connecting pins 61rR and 65rR and the link pin 62rR to be connected changes without changing the length of the side, the positional relationship between the shin member 60rR and the foot member 63rR, in particular The angle changes. That is, as shown in FIGS. 22A to 22F, the toe portion of the rear leg portion 203R of the horse figure 200 simulates the bending and stretching of the ankle when the horse runs.

  For example, when operating from the state shown in FIG. 22 (b) to the state shown in FIG. 22 (e), the foot member 63rR is the right in the drawing relative to the shin member 60rR with the connecting pin 65rR held by the shin member 60rR as an axis. Rotate. Thereby, the rear leg 203R simulates the action of kicking the ground with the toes when the horse runs. Further, when operating from the state shown in FIG. 22 (e) to the state shown in FIG. 22 (a), the foot member 63rR is left in the drawing relative to the shin member 60rR with the connecting pin 65rR held by the shin member 60rR as an axis. Rotate. Thereby, the rear leg 203R simulates an operation of bending the ankle when the horse runs. Refer to FIG. 21B for reference verification.

  In the above description, the right rear leg portion 203R in the horse figure 200 has been described. However, since this operation is the same for the left rear leg portion 203L, description thereof is omitted here.

  As described above, the traveling model body 1 according to this embodiment includes the carriage (101) that travels on a predetermined traveling surface, the fixing members (42, 43, and 30) fixed to the carriage (101), and the fixing member ( 42, 43 and 30) swingable torso (201), torso (201) swingably attached to legs (202R / L and 203R / L), torso ( 201) and the eccentric cams (54fR, 54rR, 54fL and 54rL) rotatably held off the center and the rotations of the eccentric cams (54fR, 54rR, 54fL and 54rL), respectively, by the legs (202R / L and 203R / L), the rotation of the first transmission part (55fR, 55rR, 55fL or 55rL) and the eccentric cam (54fR, 54rR, 54fL and 54rL) that transmit to the leg respectively. (The combination of 56fR, 56rR, 56fL, or 56rL and 59fR, 59rR, 59fL, or 59rL) for transmitting to (202R / L and 203R / L) It is possible to configure the legs to perform more complicated movements while receiving the movements. As a result, each part operates in association with each other, and each part performs a complex operation, thereby making it possible to simulate a more realistic and smooth movement.

  In the above-described embodiment, the belt transmission system that transmits the rotation to the horse figure 200 side using the pulleys 23 and 14 and the belt 13 is adopted. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and the pulley is a gear. A chain transmission system in which the belt is replaced with a chain, a gear transmission system using one or more gears, a shaft transmission system in which rotation is transmitted using a shaft rod, and the like can also be employed. In the shaft transmission system, a rotating shaft can be converted from a vertical direction to a horizontal direction, for example, by providing a bevel gear at the end of the shaft and engaging it with another bevel gear having a different rotating shaft. In the above-described embodiment, the rotation of the wheel 102R / L is used as power. However, the present invention is not limited to this. For example, the rotation is performed in conjunction with the rotation of the magnet provided in the self-propelled vehicle (carrier).

This may be a structure in which the shaft rod in the above-described shaft transmission system is rotated by rotation of a magnet.

  In the above-described embodiment, the eccentric cam 49 fixed to the shaft 48 that is rotatably held by the frame 52R / L and the holding base 30 that carries the eccentric cam 49 by the rail 30c are used. Although the frame 52R / L and the body portion 201 including the frame 52R / L are configured to swing with respect to the fixing members (42, 43, and 30) according to the rotation of 49, the body portion 201 is fixed to the fixing members (42, 43). Considering only the configuration of swinging with respect to 43 and 30), the present invention is not limited to the above configuration. That is, the present invention can be applied to other configurations such as replacing the eccentric cam 49 with a crank fixed to the shaft 48 or a crank integrally formed with the shaft 48. For example, when the eccentric cam 49 is replaced with a crank, the fixed member (42, 43 and 30) can slide on one end of the crank (the end opposite to the end fixed to the shaft 48) instead of the rail 30c. By providing the groove and the support surface that engage with the frame 48, the frame 52R / L and the body portion 201 including the frame 52R / L swing with respect to the fixing members (42, 43, and 30) according to the rotation of the shaft 48.
