  A drive device 30 for the drive wheel 12 is disposed inside the vehicle body 11 of the toy body 10. The drive device 30 includes, for example, a tow rope 32 for generating rotational power, and a drive transmission mechanism 33 that transmits the generated rotational power to the drive wheels 12.

  The tow rope 32 is wound around a bobbin 35 fixed to the drive shaft 34, and its terminal portion passes through the upper rear wall of the vehicle body 11 of the toy main body 10 and is drawn to the outside. Are connected.

  The drive transmission mechanism 33 is constituted by a meshing row of a plurality of gears 36, 37, 38, 39, 40. A gear 36 is mounted on the drive shaft 34, and a gear (pinion) 40 is fixed to the axle 12 a of the drive wheel 12. The gears 37, 38, 39 are meshed between the gear 36 and the pinion 40 as intermediate gears. The gears 37 and 38 are integrally formed, a small-diameter gear 37 meshes with the gear 36, a large-diameter gear 38 meshes with the gear 39, and the gear 39 meshes with the pinion 40. The bearing holes 11a of the gears 37 and 38 provided in the vehicle body 11 are formed so as to incline forward and obliquely upward. Under normal conditions, the support shaft 37a is located at the lower end of the bearing hole 11a due to the weight of the gears 37 and 38. The gears 37 and 38 are rotated counterclockwise in FIG. 2 by the rotational power generated when the gear 38 is separated from the gear 39 and the pulling rope 32 is pulled up while the gear 37 is kept engaged with the gear 36. Then, the support shaft 37a is moved to the upper end side of the bearing hole 11a by the component force, and the gear 38 is engaged with the gear 39. On the other hand, the gear 36 is configured as a one-way clutch. The gear 36 is mounted on the drive shaft 34, and ratchet teeth 36a are formed on the inner periphery. A ratchet wheel 36A fixed to the drive shaft 34 is engaged with the ratchet teeth 36a to form a one-way clutch, and the mainspring 31 has a winding start end and a winding end point between the ratchet wheel 36A and the cover 41. It is connected and coaxially arranged on the drive shaft 34.

  In the drive device 30, the bobbin 35 rotates together with the drive shaft 34 in the clockwise direction in FIG. 2 by accumulating the elastic force in the mainspring 31 by pulling the pulling rope 32 while holding the knob 32 a. At the same time, the gear 36 is rotated via the claw wheel 36A, and this rotational power is transmitted to the pinion 40 via the gears 37, 38, 39 to rotate the driving wheel 12 in the forward direction. When the pulling of the towing line 32 is released, the spring wheel 31 of the mainspring 31 causes the pinion wheel 36A to idle in the counterclockwise direction of FIG. 2 with respect to the gear 36, and the power transmission to the gears 37, 38, 39 is interrupted. The gears 37 and 38 are immediately moved down by their own weight, and the gear 37 is separated from the gear 39 while maintaining the meshed state of the gear 37 with the gear 36. The rotation in the forward direction is maintained. If the driving wheel 12 is grounded and the hand is released in this state, the toy main body 10 is self-propelled.

  Here, the suspension connection portion 15 is formed in a circular shape when the inner periphery is viewed from the left and right sides, and the drive wheel 12 is removed from the vehicle bearing portion 19 so that the suspension connection portion 15 is removed. The portion 15 can be inserted and held.

  In the present embodiment, the hooking tool 20 that forms the substantially rear half of the hanging connecting portion 15 is formed in a semicircular ring shape, and the character line at the rear of the vehicle body of the traveling toy is viewed from the left and right sides by the hooking tool 20. In the case of a semicircle.

  Further, the upper edge of the recessed portion 14 constituting a part of the suspension connecting portion 15 is tapped on one side of the side surface of the drive wheel 12 fitted and held in the suspension connecting portion 15. In addition, a drive wheel ejecting mechanism 50 that ejects from the suspension connecting portion 15 is provided.

  The drive wheel ejecting mechanism 50 includes a hitting lever 52 that is disposed on a shelf 51 that is continuous with the upper edge of the notch 14 so as to be rotatable in a horizontal direction (left-right direction) by a support shaft 52a. And a slide lever 53 for locking and unlocking the tapping lever 52.

  The tapping lever 52 is biased so as to rotate in one direction, for example, to the left (front side in FIG. 2) by a torsion coil spring 54, and a locking projection 52b is formed on the top surface of the tapping lever 52. Are standing together.

  The slide lever 53 has a knob 53a on the upper surface and a locking projection 53b on the lower surface that is engaged with and disengaged from the left side edge (the side edge on the near side in FIG. 2) of the locking lever 52. Yes. The slide lever 53 is disposed so as to be slidable in the longitudinal direction of the vehicle body by inserting and engaging the knob 53a into a guide hole 55 formed on the rear upper wall of the vehicle body 11 from the lower side. The spring 56 is urged toward the rear of the vehicle body.

  The rear end surface of the locking projection 52b of the hitting lever 52 and the locking projection 53b of the slide lever 53 are curved so that the locking projection 52b can smoothly pass through the rear end edge of the locking projection 53b. Has been. Therefore, when the tapping lever 52 is rotated to the right (in the direction of the arrow in FIG. 2) against the spring force of the torsion coil spring 54, the locking projection 52b comes into sliding contact with the rear end surface of the locking projection 53b, and the slide lever 53 is pushed forward of the vehicle body against the spring force of the coil spring 56. When the locking projection 52b passes through the locking projection 53b rightward in the horizontal direction and the locking projection 52b does not press the locking projection 53b, the slide lever 53 returns to the rear by the spring force of the coil spring 56. To do. Then, the locking projection 52b comes into contact with the right side portion of the locking projection 53b, the locking projections 52b and 53b are engaged with each other, and the hitting lever 52 is locked in a state where the torsion coil spring 54 is accumulated. .

  Thus, with the hitting lever 52 locked, the drive wheel 12 is fitted and held on the suspension connecting portion 15 from the left side (front side in FIG. 2) as described above, and the slide lever 53 is moved in this state. When the engagement between the locking projections 53b and 52b is released (unlocked) by sliding to the front of the vehicle body via the knob 53a, the tapping lever 52 is moved forward of the right side surface of the drive wheel 12 by the stored energy of the torsion coil spring 54. The driving wheel 12 can be ejected vigorously from the suspension connecting portion 15 and the driving wheel 12 can be rotated in the surface direction as shown in FIG. In order to surely rotate the driving wheel 12 in the surface direction, a claw piece 57 that abuts and presses against the rear portion of the left side surface of the driving wheel 12 on the side edge of the hooking tool 20 opposite to the position where the tapping lever 52 is disposed. Projected.

  According to the traveling toy of the present embodiment having the above-described configuration, the hook 20 is turned upward while disengaging the hooks 20a and 14a, and the hook 20 is looped, for example, a clothing loop. , Through the belt loop portion of the trousers or the button loop portion of the chest pocket of the upper garment, and by turning the hook 20 downward to engage the hook portions 20a, 14a, The traveling toy can be suspended and carried on the clothes by the connecting portion 15 for hanging.

  In addition, by hanging the traveling toy on the clothes via the suspension connecting portion 15 in this way, the traveling toy looks like a special ornament dedicated to the clothes and attracts children and the like. can do.

  Moreover, if the traveling toy is removed from the clothes, the traveling game inherent to the traveling toy can be enjoyed.

  Furthermore, various keys, ornaments, etc. can be hung from the hanging connecting portion 15 and used as a key holder, which can further enhance the interest of children and the like.

  Here, particularly in the present embodiment, the traveling wheel is a three-wheel type including one front wheel 12 and left and right rear wheels 13, and the front wheel 12 is driven as a driving wheel driven by a driving device 30, and this is used as a flywheel. Since it is composed of a wheel and is detachably attached to the car bearing portion 19 of the toy body 10, it is driven by the driving wheel (front wheel) 12 and the cruising distance is extended by the inertial action of the flywheel. Of course, it is possible to play by driving the driving wheel 12 alone forward by removing the driving wheel 12 from the wheel bearing portion 19 while the driving wheel 12 is rotated.

  Moreover, the toy body 10 has a vehicle body 11 formed in a flat shape in the vehicle width direction, and the vehicle bearing portion 19 is formed at the front end portion thereof. Can be configured easily. In particular, the vehicle bearing portion 19 is composed of a lower bearing groove 22 that is open at the top and a slide member 23 that opens and closes the top open portion. Therefore, the slide member 23 is slid to the drive wheel release position. Thus, by releasing the upper portion of the lower bearing groove 23, the drive wheel 12 can be easily detached.

  In addition, since the slide member 23 is disposed so as to be slidable in the front-rear direction and tilted forwardly downward on the front end portion of the vehicle body 11, the slide member 23 can be operated with one hand by holding the traveling toy with one hand. Therefore, even a child with a small hand or the like can perform the operation of removing the drive wheel 12 more easily. For example, if the drive wheel 12 is detached from the vehicle bearing portion 19 in the normal posture of the traveling toy, As shown in FIG. 3 (A), the driving wheel 12 can be ejected forward as a single unit, and if the driving wheel 12 is detached with the traveling toy lying down sideways, As shown, the drive wheel 12 can be played as a rotating piece.

  In particular, the lower bearing groove 22 at the front end portion of the vehicle body 11 is formed to be inclined obliquely forward so as to open substantially perpendicular to the inclination of the front end portion of the vehicle body 11 inclined forward and downward. Therefore, the drive wheel 12 can be smoothly detached from the front of the vehicle body, and the rotation of the drive wheel 12 can be enjoyed.

  On the other hand, the suspension connecting portion 15 is formed in a circular shape when the inner periphery is viewed from the left and right sides. The drive wheel 12 is inserted and held therein, and the drive wheel ejecting mechanism 50 ejects the suspension. As a result, as shown in FIG. 4, the drive wheel 12 can be played while being rotated in the surface direction in the vertical direction, and children and the like can be attracted more and more.

  And since the hooking tool 20 which comprises the substantially second half part of the said connection part 15 for hanging forms the character line of the vehicle body rear part of a running toy, the design effect can be heightened. In addition, as described above, the hooking tool 20 is configured to open and close in the vertical direction with the upper end portion as a fulcrum as described above. I can pour it.

  In the above embodiment, the self-propelled traveling toy in which the front wheel 12 is configured as a drive wheel composed of a flywheel has been exemplified. However, this may of course be a simple traveling wheel, or a three-wheel type. In addition, it may be a four-wheel type.

  Further, even when the front wheel 12 is configured as a drive wheel as described above, the gears 37 and 38 in the gear meshing row of the gear mechanism (drive transmission mechanism 33) are the tow ropes as described in detail in the above embodiment. In a normal state where no rotational power is generated by pulling up 32, the front wheel 12 can be rotated as a mere running wheel by hand-rolling and playing if it is configured to move downward by its own weight and disengage from the gear 39 on the rear stage. You can also.
