With a toy that runs on its own along the track, the track can be freely created by combining the tracks, and you can enjoy the toy running in the set layout. However, in a traveling toy track having a function of stopping and starting a self-propelled toy, if the mechanism becomes complicated, it is likely to cause a failure. In addition, the complicated mechanism complicates the manufacturing process of the track for traveling toys and causes an increase in cost.

An object of the present invention is to provide a traveling toy track and a traveling toy set capable of stopping and switching the starting motion of a self-propelled toy with a simple configuration.

In order to solve the above problems, the present invention is a traveling toy track for forming a traveling path of a self-propelled toy having drive wheels, and is a track portion which is a traveling path surface of the self-propelled toy and both sides of the track portion. It is provided with a guide wall provided on the surface. In this traveling toy track, the track portion has a traveling region in which the self-propelled toy travels by receiving the driving force from the driving wheels, and an idling region in which the driving force from the driving wheels is released to allow the driving wheels to idle. ..

According to such a configuration, the self-propelled toy on the track portion advances by the driving force from the driving wheel in the traveling region, and the driving wheel slips and does not advance in the idling region. That is, the self-propelled toy running on the track portion can be stopped only by providing the track portion with an idling region for idling the drive wheels.

In the traveling toy track of the present invention, the idling region may have holes or recesses that are wider than the width of the drive wheels and longer than the diameter of the drive wheels. As a result, the drive wheel can slip into the hole or recess and slip, and the self-propelled toy can be stopped.

In the traveling toy track of the present invention, the track portion may further have a transmission region for transmitting the driving force from the driving wheels to the self-propelled toy larger than the traveling region. As a result, the preceding self-propelled toy stopped in the idling region can be reliably pushed by the succeeding self-propelled toy that has become easier to move forward in the transmission region.

The track for a traveling toy of the present invention may further include a cover member that can be detachably covered in the idling region. As a result, when the idling region is not used, normal running can be performed by covering the cover member.

In the track for a traveling toy of the present invention, a movable plate provided so as to be able to advance and retreat on the idling region may be further provided. As a result, it is possible to switch between using and not using the idling area by advancing and retreating the movable plate.

The present invention is a traveling toy set including a traveling path including the track for traveling toys, a first self-propelled toy having driving wheels, and a second self-propelled toy having driving wheels. In this traveling toy set, the driving wheels of the first self-propelled toy are idling in the idling region, and the second self-propelled toy approaches from behind the first self-propelled toy to drive the first self-propelled toy. The wheels are configured to escape from the idling zone.

According to such a configuration, the drive wheels of the first self-propelled toy traveling on the traveling toy track provided on the traveling path idle in the idling region and are in a stopped state. When the second self-propelled toy approaches from behind the stopped first self-propelled toy, the drive wheel of the first self-propelled toy escapes from the idling region, and the first self-propelled toy is in the starting state. ..

In the traveling toy set of the present invention, the drive wheels of the first self-propelled toy may be configured to idle in the idling region after the drive wheels of the first self-propelled toy escape from the idling region. As a result, the stop and departure of the first self-propelled toy and the stop and departure of the second self-propelled toy are alternately repeated.

In the traveling toy set of the present invention, the escape of the drive wheel of the first self-propelled toy from the idling region is a pressing by contact or non-contact between the front end portion of the second self-propelled toy and the rear end portion of the first self-propelled toy. May be done by. Further, in the traveling toy set of the present invention, the escape from the idling region of the drive wheel of the first self-propelled toy is a link that operates when the second self-propelled toy reaches a predetermined position behind the first self-propelled toy. It may be done via.

According to the present invention, it is possible to provide a track for a traveling toy and a traveling toy set capable of stopping and switching the starting operation of the self-propelled toy with a simple configuration.

Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. In the following description, the same members are designated by the same reference numerals, and the description of the members once described will be omitted as appropriate.

(Structure of track for traveling toys)
1A and 1B are schematic views illustrating a track for a traveling toy according to the present embodiment.
FIG. 1A shows a perspective view of the traveling toy track 1, and FIG. 1B shows a plan view of the traveling toy track 1. In the present embodiment, the traveling toy track 1 is also simply referred to as the track 1. Further, in the present embodiment, when the individual self-propelled toys are not distinguished, they are indicated as self-propelled toys T, and when the individual self-propelled toys T are distinguished, numbers such as self-propelled toys T1, T2, ... I will show you.

The track 1 according to the present embodiment is a member for forming a running path of the self-propelled toy T having the driving wheels DW. The orbit 1 has various shapes such as a straight line, a curve, a switching point, and a gradient. A desired travel path is constructed by connecting a plurality of tracks 1.

The self-propelled toy T has a body B and a drive wheel DW, and the number of wheels and the shape of the body B (automobile, train, airplane, character, doll, etc.) are not limited. In the present embodiment, a self-propelled toy T including a vehicle body type body B, a driving wheel DW, and a driven wheel FW will be taken as an example. The drive wheel DW is driven by a motor (not shown). By operating the motor, the drive wheel DW rotates to drive the self-propelled toy T.

The track 1 according to the present embodiment includes a track portion 10 which is a running road surface of the self-propelled toy T, and guide walls 20 provided on both side surfaces of the track portion 10. The track portion 10 has a width slightly wider than the width of the self-propelled toy T, and the self-propelled toy T can be placed on the track portion 10 and run.

The guide wall 20 is provided so as to rise from both side surfaces of the track portion 10. The self-propelled toy T travels along the guide wall 20 so as not to fall off from the track portion 10 between the left and right guide walls 20.

The leg portion 25 is provided on the side (rear surface side) of the track portion 10 opposite to the guide wall 20. When the track 1 is placed on a table, floor, base material, or the like, the height of the track portion 10 is set by the legs 25. The track portion 10 is arranged in a floating state according to the height of the leg portion 25, and a gap is provided on the lower side of the track portion 10.

In such a track 1, the track portion 10 has a traveling region 11 and an idling region 12. The traveling area 11 is an area in which the self-propelled toy T travels by receiving a driving force from the driving force DW of the self-propelled toy T. For example, the traveling region 11 is a flat surface portion of the track portion 10. In order to efficiently receive the driving force from the driving wheel DW, the traveling region 11 may be provided with some irregularities. When the drive wheel DW is on the traveling region 11, the self-propelled toy T travels on the track portion 10 along the guide wall 20.

The idling region 12 is an region in which the driving force from the driving wheel DW of the self-propelled toy T is released to allow the driving wheel DW to idle. For example, the idling region 12 is composed of holes or dents. The width of the hole or recess is wider than the width of the drive wheel DW and the length is longer than the diameter of the drive wheel DW. When the drive wheel DW falls into the hole or the recess which is the idling region 12, the driving wheel DW slips and the self-propelled toy T can be prevented from running.

That is, when the self-propelled toy T is run using the track 1 according to the present embodiment, the self-propelled toy T advances in the traveling direction when the driving wheel DW is above the traveling region 11, and slips when the driving wheel DW reaches the idling region 12. And will not proceed. That is, when the traveling self-propelled toy T reaches the idling region 12, the drive wheel DW is in a state of rotating but idling and not advancing, and appears to have stopped.

2 (a) to 2 (e) are schematic cross-sectional views illustrating the operation of the traveling toy using the track according to the present embodiment.
First, as shown in FIG. 2A, the self-propelled toy T1 advances in the traveling direction by the driving force of the driving wheels DW on the traveling region 11 of the track 1. Next, as shown in FIG. 2B, when the drive wheel DW of the self-propelled toy T1 reaches the idling region 12 and falls into a hole or a recess, the drive wheel DW idles and the driving force escapes to the self-propelled toy. T1 is in a stopped state.

Next, as shown in FIG. 2C, the subsequent self-propelled toy T2 self-propells on the traveling region 11. Then, as shown in FIG. 2D, the driving wheel DW of the preceding self-propelled toy T1 escapes from the idling region 12 by approaching or contacting the succeeding self-propelled toy T2. As a result, the drive wheel DW of the preceding self-propelled toy T1 rides on the traveling region 11 in front of the idling region 12 and starts to advance in the traveling direction again.

For example, the tip Bt of the body B of the succeeding self-propelled toy T2 may come into contact with the rear end Br of the body B of the preceding self-propelled toy T1 to push out the preceding self-propelled toy T1. Magnets may be attached to the front end Bt and the rear end Br, respectively, and the repulsion of the magnets may be used to push out the preceding self-propelled toy T1 in a non-contact manner.

As shown in FIG. 2E, after the preceding self-propelled toy T1 restarts, the drive wheel DW of the succeeding self-propelled toy T2 reaches the idling region 12 and falls into a hole or a recess. As a result, the drive wheel DW of the succeeding self-propelled toy T2 can idle, and the succeeding self-propelled toy T2 can be stopped.

The succeeding self-propelled toy T2 escapes from the idling region 12 by further approaching or contacting the succeeding self-propelled toy T, and starts moving in the traveling direction again. When a traveling path is configured by a combination of a plurality of tracks 1 and the self-propelled toys T1 and T2 are running, the front and rear of the self-propelled toys T1 and the self-propelled toys T2 are interchanged in order, and one stop and the other running. Will be repeated. Although two self-propelled toys T1 and T2 are shown in FIG. 2, the same applies even if three or more traveling toys are run on the traveling path of the same lap.

If the length of the idling region 12 is changed, the escape time of the preceding self-propelled toy T1 from the idling region 12 changes due to the approach or contact of the subsequent self-propelled toy T2. For example, the longer the idling region 12, the longer the escape time, and the shorter the idling region 12, the shorter the escape time. This makes it possible to change the timing of stopping the self-propelled toys T1 and T2 and reoccurring vehicles.

(Transmission area)
3 (a) and 3 (b) are schematic views illustrating a transmission region.
FIG. 3A shows a perspective view of the orbit 1, and FIG. 3B shows a plan view of the orbit 1.
The transmission region 13 is partially provided in the track portion 10. The transmission region 13 is an region in which the driving force from the drive wheel DW of the self-propelled toy T can be transmitted to the self-propelled toy T in a larger size than the traveling region 11. For example, the transmission region 13 has irregularities (grooves and protrusions extending in a direction orthogonal to the traveling direction) larger than the traveling region 11. The transmission region 13 is a region having a larger friction coefficient than the traveling region 11.

The transmission region 13 is preferably provided in the orbital portion 10 on the rear side in the traveling direction with respect to the idling region 12. Specifically, when the driving wheel DW of the preceding self-propelled toy T1 is idling in the idling region 12 and the succeeding self-propelled toy T2 catches up, the driving wheel DW of the succeeding self-propelled toy T2 A transmission region 13 is provided at a position where it comes into contact. As a result, when the succeeding self-propelled toy T2 pushes the preceding self-propelled toy T1 stopped in the idling region 12, the drive wheel DW of the succeeding self-propelled toy T2 slips on the transmission region 13. It becomes difficult, and the preceding self-propelled toy T1 can be surely pushed out.

(Other idling areas)
4 (a) to 4 (c) are schematic perspective views illustrating other idling regions.
The idling region 12 shown in FIG. 4A is formed of a material having a friction coefficient smaller than that of the traveling region 11. For example, the traveling region 11 is formed of plastic, and the idling region 12 is formed of fluororesin. The idling region 12 may be coated with a fluororesin. The idling region 12 does not have to be a hole or a dent, but may be an region where the drive wheel DW can idle. Since the idling region 12 shown in FIG. 4A is formed on substantially the same plane as the traveling region 11, it is possible to prevent the body B from tilting when the self-propelled toy T reaches the idling region 12.

Further, by setting the friction coefficient of the idling region 12 and changing the friction coefficient depending on the surface condition of the idling region 12 (temperature, humidity, degree of adhesion of dust on the surface, etc.), the drive wheel DW of the self-propelled toy T The state of idling will change. For example, it may completely slip and stop, or it may slip and move little by little. In the state of advancing little by little while idling, the self-propelled toy T can eventually escape from the idling region 12 and restart without depending on the approach or contact of the self-propelled toy T. Since the idling state of the drive wheel DW changes according to the change in the surface state of the idling region 12, it is possible to enjoy the random speed change of the self-propelled toy T.

A cover member 121 is detachably provided in the idling region 12 shown in FIG. 4 (b). The idling region 12 is composed of holes or dents. The cover member 121 is detachably placed on the idling region 12. As a result, the idling region 12 can be made to function by removing the cover member 121. When the idling region 12 is not used, normal running can be performed by covering the cover member 121.

Further, the state of idling of the drive wheel DW can be changed by the friction coefficient of the surface of the cover member 121. That is, by preparing a plurality of cover members 121 having different surface friction coefficients and selecting and covering the cover members 121 having a friction coefficient according to the preference, the speed change of the self-propelled toy T can be enjoyed. ..

A movable plate 122 capable of advancing and retreating is provided in the idling region 12 shown in FIG. 4C. The idling region 12 is composed of holes, dents and a material having a low coefficient of friction shown in FIG. 4 (a). The movable plate 122 is provided on the idling region 12 so as to be able to advance and retreat. For example, the movable plate 122 is provided so as to be able to advance and retreat in the extending direction of the idling region 12. As a result, by rejecting the movable plate 122, the idling region 12 can be exposed and the idling region 12 can function. When the idling region 12 is not used, the movable plate 122 can be extended to cover the idling region 12 so that normal traveling can be performed.

Further, the length of the movable plate 122 to function as the idling region 12 can be freely set depending on the amount of extension. As a result, the effective length of the idling region 12 can be changed, and the timing of stopping and reoccurring the self-propelled toy T can be changed.

(Recurring vehicle mechanism)
Next, an example of the recurrence vehicle mechanism of the self-propelled toy T will be described.
5 (a) and 5 (b) are schematic cross-sectional views illustrating the recurrent vehicle mechanism (No. 1).
A plate 123 that can move up and down is provided in the idling region 12 in the orbit 1. The plate 123 is provided at one end of the link 125. A step 127 is provided at the other end of the link 125. The link 125 rotates about the shaft 126.

In the normal state, the plate 123 is located below and forms a recess in the idling region 12. The plate 123 is usually located below due to the force of an urging means such as a spring or its own weight. The step 127 is located slightly above the road surface of the track portion 10. By pushing the step 127, the plate 123 is pushed up via the link 125.

As shown in FIG. 5A, when the self-propelled toy T1 is driven with the plate 123 positioned below, the self-propelled toy T1 reaches the idling region 12 and the drive wheel DW is idling region 12. It falls into the dent of. As a result, the drive wheel DW slips and the self-propelled toy T1 stops. After that, the subsequent self-propelled toy T2 self-propells on the track portion 10 of the track 1.

Then, as shown in FIG. 5B, when the subsequent self-propelled toy T2 rides on the step 127, the step 127 is pushed down by its own weight. As a result, the plate 123 is pushed up via the link 125. By pushing up the plate 123, the driving wheel DW of the preceding self-propelled toy T1 escapes from the idling region 12, rides on the traveling region 11 in front, and starts to move in the traveling direction again.

When the subsequent self-propelled toy T2 passes over the step 127, the step 127 returns to its original position. This lowers the plate 123. The plate 123 is lowered before the subsequent self-propelled toy T2 reaches the idling region 12. Therefore, when the subsequent self-propelled toy T2 reaches the idling region 12, the drive wheel DW falls into the hole in the idling region 12 and slips, and the self-propelled toy T2 stops.

Since the running path is orbiting, the self-propelled toy T1 follows the self-propelled toy T2, and the self-propelled toy T1 pushes down the step 127 to re-carry the self-propelled toy T2. By repeating this operation, the front and rear of the self-propelled toys T1 and T2 are sequentially replaced, and the self-propelled toys T1 and T2 are stopped and restarted in order.

6 (a) to 6 (d) are schematic views illustrating the recurrence vehicle mechanism (No. 2).
6 (a) and 6 (c) are plan views, and FIGS. 6 (b) and 6 (c) are sectional views.
A slide cover 128 is provided in the idling region 12 in the orbit 1 so as to be able to advance and retreat. The slide cover 128 is arranged in front of the idling region 12 and behind the track portion 10. The slide cover 128 of the idling region 12 is pulled by the spring 129 and is not covered by the idling region 12 in a normal state.

The slide cover 128 is provided at one end of the link 155. A slide plate 151 is provided at the other end of the link 155. An opening 15 is provided in the track portion 10 above the slide plate 151.

As shown in FIGS. 6A and 6B, when the self-propelled toy T1 is driven with the slide cover 128 retracted, the self-propelled toy T1 reaches the idling region 12 and the drive wheel DW idles. It falls into the hole in region 12. As a result, the drive wheel DW slips and the self-propelled toy T1 stops. After that, the subsequent self-propelled toy T2 self-propells on the track portion 10 of the track 1.

Then, as shown in FIGS. 6C and 6D, when the subsequent self-propelled toy T2 reaches the opening 15 of the track portion 10, the slide plate 151 exposed from the opening 15 is on the opposite side to the traveling direction. Move to. That is. The drive force of the drive wheel DW of the self-propelled toy T2 shifts the slide plate 151 to the side opposite to the traveling direction. As a result, the slide cover 128 is pulled out to the idling region 12 side via the link 155.

When the slide cover 128 is pulled out toward the idling region 12, the drive wheel DW of the self-propelled toy T1 is eventually caught on the slide cover 128, and the slide cover 128 is further pulled out by the driving force of the drive wheel DW. The drive wheel DW rides on the slide cover 128 with the drawer of the slide cover 128. Then, the self-propelled toy T1 advances on the slide cover 128, and the drive wheel DW eventually escapes from the idling region 12. The self-propelled toy T1 rides on the traveling region 11 in front of the idling region 12 and starts to advance in the traveling direction again.

When the subsequent self-propelled toy T2 passes through the portion of the opening 15, the slide cover 128 retreats again due to the urging force of the spring 129. When the subsequent self-propelled toy T2 reaches the idling region 12, the drive wheel DW falls into the hole in the idling region 12 and slips, and the self-propelled toy T2 stops.

Since the traveling path is orbiting, the self-propelled toy T1 follows the self-propelled toy T2, and the self-propelled toy T1 moves the slide plate 151 to re-carry the self-propelled toy T2. By repeating this operation, the front and rear of the self-propelled toys T1 and T2 are sequentially replaced, and the self-propelled toys T1 and T2 are stopped and restarted in order.

Although two self-propelled toys T1 and T2 are shown in FIGS. 5 and 6, the same applies even if three or more traveling toys are run on the same traveling path.

(Composition of running toy set)
Next, the traveling toy set according to the present embodiment will be described.
7 to 10 are schematic views illustrating a traveling toy set according to the present embodiment.
The traveling toy set 100 according to the present embodiment includes a traveling path including the track 1 described above, and a plurality of self-propelled toys T having drive wheels DW. For convenience of explanation, an example including three self-propelled toys T1 to T3 will be described in this embodiment.

The traveling path is formed in a circular shape by combining various tracks such as straight lines, curves, and with switching points. For example, the runway shown in the figure is configured for counterclockwise use, and two straight tracks 1A are connected in parallel to the rear stage of the track 1B with a switching point. A merging orbit 1C is connected to the subsequent stage of two parallel straight orbits 1A, and then a curved orbit 1D, two straight orbits 1E in series, and a curved orbit 1F are connected in this order. A track 1B with a switching point is connected to the rear stage of the track 1F of the curve, thereby forming a circular traveling path. Of these, the orbit 1 of any of the above-described embodiments is used as the orbit 1A of two parallel straight lines. Therefore, the orbit 1A is provided with the idling region 12.

Three self-propelled toys T1 to T3 run on this runway. The three self-propelled toys T1 to T3 all travel in the same orbital direction (for example, counterclockwise). By causing the three self-propelled toys T1 to T3 to self-propell on the road, it is possible to enjoy the operation in which each of the three self-propelled toys T1 to T3 repeats running, stopping, and reoccurring in order.

For example, as shown in FIG. 7, it is assumed that the self-propelled toy T1 reaches the orbit 1B with a switching point and proceeds to the orbit 1A of the first lane L1 by the point P. When the self-propelled toy T1 passes the point P, the point P is automatically switched to the opposite lane (in this case, the second lane L2 side). When the self-propelled toy T1 that has advanced to the track 1A of the first lane L1 reaches the idling region 12 provided in the track 1A, the self-propelled toy T1 is in a state of not advancing (stopped state) due to the idling of the drive wheel DW.

Next, as shown in FIG. 8, when the subsequent self-propelled toy T2 reaches the track 1B with the switching point, it proceeds to the track 1A of the second lane L2. When the self-propelled toy T2 passes the point P, the point P is automatically switched to the opposite lane (in this case, the first lane L1 side). When the self-propelled toy T2 that has advanced to the track 1A of the second lane L2 reaches the idling region 12 provided in the track 1A, the self-propelled toy T2 is stopped due to the idling of the drive wheel DW. In this state, the self-propelled toys T1 and T2 are stopped on the two parallel orbits 1A.

Next, as shown in FIG. 9, when the subsequent self-propelled toy T3 reaches the orbit 1B with the switching point, it proceeds to the orbit 1A of the first lane L1. When the self-propelled toy T3 passes the point P, the point P is automatically switched to the opposite lane (in this case, the second lane L2 side). The self-propelled toy T3 that has advanced to the orbit 1A of the first lane L1 approaches or comes into contact with the preceding self-propelled toy T1 that has stopped in the idling region 12, and causes the self-propelled toy T1 to escape from the idling region 12. As a result, the self-propelled toy T1 that has stopped escapes from the idling region 12 and restarts, and proceeds from the merging orbit 1C to the curved orbit 1D.

Further, when the self-propelled toy T3, which is a restart of the self-propelled toy T1, reaches the idling region 12 of the track 1A of the first lane L1, the self-propelled toy T3 is stopped due to the idling of the drive wheel DW. In this state, the self-propelled toys T3 and T2 are stopped on the two parallel orbits 1A.

Next, as shown in FIG. 10, when the self-propelled toy T1 that has been orbiting the traveling path and succeeds reaches the orbit 1B with the switching point, it proceeds to the orbit 1A of the second lane L2. When the self-propelled toy T2 passes the point P, the point P is automatically switched to the opposite lane (in this case, the first lane L1 side). The self-propelled toy T1 that has advanced to the orbit 1A of the second lane L2 approaches or comes into contact with the preceding self-propelled toy T2 that has stopped in the idling region 12, and causes the self-propelled toy T2 to escape from the idling region 12. As a result, the self-propelled toy T2 that has stopped escapes from the idling region 12 and restarts, and proceeds from the merging orbit 1C to the curved orbit 1D.

Further, when the self-propelled toy T1 that has restarted the self-propelled toy T2 reaches the idling region 12 of the track 1A of the second lane L2, the self-propelled toy T1 is stopped due to the idling of the drive wheel DW. In this state, the self-propelled toys T1 and T3 are stopped on the two parallel orbits 1A. Then, the self-propelled toy T2 that has been orbiting the traveling path and succeeded advances to the track 1A of the first lane L1 and escapes the self-propelled toy T3 from the idling region 12.

That is, in this running path, the self-propelled toy T is stopped on each of the two parallel orbits 1A, and after the running self-propelled toy T recurs one of them as a successor, the self-propelled toy T itself Stop. Then, the self-propelled toy T, which has recurred, laps around again and follows the vehicle, causing one of the stopped vehicles to reoccur. By repeating such an operation, each of the three self-propelled toys T1 to T3 can repeatedly run, stop, and reoccur. Further, since the first lane L1 and the second lane L2 are switched alternately by the automatic switching of the point P, any of the self-propelled toys T does not continue to stop.

In a traveling path where the selection of two parallel tracks 1A is automatically switched by point P as in the present embodiment, if it is a train, it enters the platform, stops, reoccurs, and if it is a car, it enters the stop lane. The movement becomes like a stop and a reissued car, and even a simple self-propelled toy T can be enjoyed without getting tired of watching it.

Further, the traveling paths shown in FIGS. 7 to 10 are examples, and the plurality of self-propelled toys T are complicated by combining a plurality of tracks in a complicated manner or by changing the stop time due to the idling region 12. The self-propelled toy T moves around randomly on the entire traveling path by repeating stopping and reoccurring. Unexpected operation can be enjoyed by setting and selecting the layout of the orbit 1 and the stop time by the idling area 12.

As described above, according to the embodiment, it is possible to provide the traveling toy track 1 and the traveling toy set 100 capable of stopping the self-propelled toy T and switching the starting operation with a simple configuration. ..

Although the present embodiment and its application examples have been described above, the present invention is not limited to these examples. For example, those skilled in the art appropriately adding, deleting, or changing the design of each of the above-described embodiments or application examples thereof, or combining the features of each embodiment as appropriate are also present inventions. As long as it has a gist, it is included in the scope of the present invention.
