There is one that makes it stick out (Patent Document 1).

This toy can be driven by inertia by pushing out four steel balls that are rotatably attached to correspond to the four wheels of a car, and the steel balls protrude to the sides of the car body. Therefore, the running direction of the toy can be changed along the curved guide wall, etc., and the toy can be played happily.

In addition, the shape imitates a car with a rotatable front wheel and a rear wheel that serves as a driving wheel, and by attaching a rotatable sphere to the center of each of the four wheels (front, rear, left, and right), the rear wheel serves as a driving wheel. When running the vehicle, the front and rear wheels on the opposite side are lifted up by the periphery of the front and rear wheels on one side and a sphere attached to the center of each wheel, making it possible to drive on one wheel, and further rotating to the rear of the vehicle body. By attaching a sphere to the vehicle, it is possible to perform a wheelie with the front wheel lifted by the rear wheels and the sphere at the rear of the vehicle body, and there is also a vehicle that allows the vehicle to be driven in various driving conditions for fun (Patent Document 2). .

Furthermore, a magnet is attached to the bottom of the body of a toy car that runs on three wheels, with one ball bearing made of magnetic material as the driven front wheel and two rear wheels as the driving wheels, and a soft synthetic resin or the like is used as the running path for the toy car. The running track used was a belt-shaped track, and the surface of this running track was formed with a center line such as a groove, and the polarity was set to attract the magnet provided at the bottom of the toy car along this center line. By making the running track embedded with flexible magnets, the running track is twisted or looped so that when the toy car is run along the running track, it is possible to make the toy car perform somersaults, etc. (Patent Document 3) is also available.

FIG. 7 is a top perspective view showing another example of the running track tray for a running toy according to the present invention.

A first embodiment of the traveling toy according to the present invention, as shown in FIG. 1, is a traveling toy 100 made of synthetic resin and having a toy main body 110 shaped like a four-wheeled vehicle.

Note that the four wheels in this traveling toy 100 do not rotate like the wheels of a car, but simply imitate the shape of wheels, and the traveling toy 100 has a width of 3 cm and a length of 3 cm. The size is about 5 cm.

Furthermore, in the running toy 100 imitating a car, the front of a typical car is the front of the running toy 100, the rear of a typical car is the back of the running toy 100, and when facing forward, the right side is the right and the left side is the left. explain.

As shown in FIG. 2, a steel ball 140, which is a steel ball with a diameter of about 8 mm to 15 mm, is provided at the front center of the lower surface of the traveling toy 100. It has a main body base 111 with a raised peripheral wall 115, and as shown in FIGS. 2 and 3, a main body cover part 127 imitating the appearance of an automobile is attached to the main body base 111. A circular opening 117 having a diameter smaller than the diameter of the steel ball 140 is provided at the center of the front part, so that a part of the steel ball 140 protrudes below the bottom plate 113.

A ball fixing part 145 is formed inside the bonnet part in front of the main body cover part 127 to prevent the steel ball 140 from coming off from the opening part 117. As shown in FIG. By locating the lower end of the steel ball 140 below the lower end of the front wheel portion 121 when dropped into the opening 117, the steel ball 140 is placed in the opening when the traveling toy 100 is placed on a flat plate. The steel ball 140 itself can be placed on the flat plate while being located within the portion 117.

Note that the front wheel portion 121 may be manufactured by integral molding with the main body base 111, or the member formed as the front wheel portion 121 may be fixedly attached to the main body base 111.

Further, the rear wheel portion 123 is molded integrally with the main body base 111 at both rear left and right ends of the main body base 111, or is attached to the main body base 111 so as to be fixed thereto. The lower end of the rear wheel portion 123 is made to protrude downward and does not rotate, and the lower end portion of the rear wheel portion 123 is used as a ground contact portion 131.

Therefore, when this running toy 100 is placed on a flat surface, the left and right front wheels 121 fixed to the main body base 111 and the rear The traveling toy 100 can be stably placed on a flat surface at the four points of the ring portion 123.

As described above, the traveling toy 100 according to the present embodiment has two grounding parts 131, with the lower end of the non-rotating rear wheel part 123 serving as the grounding part 131, and a steel ball housed in the front part of the toy main body part 110. 140 is placed on the mounting surface of the traveling toy 100, and the steel ball 140 is rotatably stored.

Therefore, since the steel ball 140 is rotatably stored in the front part of the toy main body 110 of the traveling toy 100, the traveling toy 100 is placed on a flat plate-like object such as the tray 170, and When a certain tray 170 is tilted, the steel balls 140 roll on the inclined surface and try to move downward, causing the front of the toy main body 110 to move downward on the inclined plate-shaped upper surface. It is something that can be done.

That is, the toy main body 110 of the traveling toy 100 is molded from resin or the like, and a steel ball 140, which is made of steel and has a much higher specific gravity than the resin stored in the front part of the traveling toy 100, rolls down an inclined surface. However, since the fixed grounding part 131 formed at the lower end of the rear wheel part 123 is in contact with the upper surface of the tray 170, etc., the contact resistance of the grounding part 131 etc. is higher than the movement resistance of the steel ball 140. is large, and the traveling toy 100 moves the front part of the slope downward.

In this way, when the traveling toy 100 is placed on a flat surface such as the tray 170 and the flat surface is slightly tilted, the traveling toy 100 shifts the front wheel portion 121 on the flat surface so that its front side is tilted on the slope. The traveling toy 100 is turned so as to be moved downward, and while the front of the traveling toy 100 is directed downward from the inclined surface, the lower end of the grounding portion 131 formed at the rear portion is dragged. The moving toy 100 can be moved so as to move downwards on the slope, and the traveling toy 100 can be moved forward downwards on the slope.

When the direction of inclination is changed, the running toy 100 moves forward down the inclined surface while changing the direction so that the front of the moving toy 100 is directed below the inclined surface. Even if the operation is simple, the traveling toy 100 can be moved in the desired direction and the user can play without getting bored.

Note that when the flat surface of the tray 170 etc. is returned to the horizontal position, the running toy 100 can be stopped and maintained in a stopped state by the resistance of the grounding part 131 provided at the rear part and the lower end of the front wheel part 121. .

Therefore, by placing the traveling toy 100 on a flat plate-shaped body such as the tray 170 and tilting the tray 170 slightly, the traveling toy 100 is constantly moved forward along the inclined surface and downward from the inclined surface. By manipulating the inclination of the tray 170, the traveling toy 100 can be made to travel in any direction on the tray 170 even with a simple operation, and the toy can be played happily for a long time.

Since the traveling toy 100 is approximately 3 cm wide and 5 cm long, it can be formed into a miniature car that imitates the shape of various four-wheeled vehicles, and can be held with both hands with a length and width of several tens of cm. The game can be played easily by being placed on a flat tray 170 that can be easily tilted and moved in various directions.

Note that the traveling toy 100 is not limited to being entirely made of resin, and may be formed and manufactured using wood or metal such as pressed sheet metal.

Furthermore, even in the case of a traveling toy 100 imitating the shape of a four-wheeled vehicle, as shown in FIG. A columnar protrusion 135 may be provided to protrude downward from the lower surface of the main body base 111 to form the grounding portion 131 as one point.

In this embodiment, the lower end of a columnar projection 135 is positioned slightly below the lower end of the rear wheel section 123, and the columnar projection 135 supports the rear of the vehicle body.

In this way, by forming the protruding part 135 as a fixed part into a columnar shape and forming the grounding part 131 having the required width on the left and right sides, stable support can be provided by the protruding part 135 and the left and right front wheel parts 121. By supporting the rear portion at one point of ground contact 131, when the inclination direction of the plate-like body on which the traveling toy 100 is placed is changed, the front wheel portion is rotated around one point of ground contact 131. 121 on the running surface, the front of the running toy 100 can be easily and reliably directed downward.

Even if the stability of the traveling toy 100 may become unstable because the ground contact portion 131 at the lower end of the protruding portion 135 is at one point, the lower ends of the rear wheel portions 123 disposed on the left and right sides of the protruding portion 135 Since it is arranged at a slightly higher position than the ground contact part 131, when the running toy 100 tilts to the right or left, the right or left rear wheel part 123 comes into contact with the running surface and prevents the running toy 100 from falling. By using the left and right rear wheel parts 123 as auxiliary fall-prevention parts, the running toy 100 can be made to run without falling over, and the user can have fun playing with the running toy.

Note that when the weight of the vehicle is light and the movement resistance of the traveling toy 100 due to the frictional resistance of the ground contact portion 131 and the front wheel portion 121 is small against the traction force due to the rolling of the steel balls 140, it becomes difficult to control the traveling of the traveling toy 100. A weight may be incorporated inside the vehicle body serving as the toy main body portion 110 to increase the load applied to the ground contact portion 131 and the like to apply braking to the movement of the traveling toy 100, thereby causing the traveling toy 100 to make heavy movements. be.

Furthermore, when storing the steel balls 140 in the front part of the traveling toy 100 imitating the shape of a four-wheeled vehicle, the lower ends of the steel balls 140 are moved above or below the lower ends of the left and right front wheel parts 121 as described above. The steel ball 140 may be rotatably housed in a state where the upper end of the steel ball 140 is in contact with the ball fixing portion 145, as shown in FIG. Similarly, the lower end of the steel ball 140 may be rotatably stored with the lower end always protruding lower than the lower ends of the left and right front wheel parts 121.

In this case, when the running toy 100 is placed on the running surface, the front wheel portion 121 is slightly lifted from the running surface and the front portion of the running toy 100 is supported by the steel balls 140. In this way, by floating the front wheel portion 121 of the traveling toy 100, the turning performance of the traveling toy 100 can be further improved. Since the lower end of the front wheel part 121 is located at a slightly higher position than the lower end of the steel ball 140, the front wheel part 121 serves as an auxiliary fall prevention part to allow the traveling toy 100 to travel without causing the traveling toy 100 to fall. It is something that can be done.

Further, the lower end of the steel ball 140 and the lower end of the front wheel part 121 are made to have substantially the same height, and while the front part of the running toy 100 is supported by the steel ball 140, the lower end of the front wheel part 121 is brought into contact with the running surface, and the running toy is A slight brake may be applied to the front portion of the toy 100 to prevent the traveling toy 100 from moving.

The number of steel balls 140 stored in the front part is not limited to one, but as shown in FIG. By using two balls 140, the shape of a four-wheeled vehicle with a lower hood can be achieved by using steel balls 140 with a smaller diameter.

Moreover, the ball fixing part 145 is not limited to the case where it is formed inside the main body cover part 127, and as shown in FIG. Sometimes I try to keep it from coming off.

Furthermore, the opening 117 is not limited to the case where one or two steel balls 140 are stored in the front part of the traveling toy 100, and the opening 117 is not limited to one circular or oval shape. By providing about two to four steel balls 140 and inserting one steel ball 140 into each opening 117, a plurality of two to four steel balls 140 are built into the front part of the traveling toy 100. Sometimes.

Furthermore, the traveling toy 100 is not limited to the shape of a four-wheeled vehicle, but may be shaped like a motorcycle, which is a two-wheeled vehicle, as shown in FIG.

In this case, the front wheel part 121 and the rear wheel part 123 which do not rotate, the car body part 151 formed to imitate a car body, and the doll part 155 imitating a rider are molded from resin or the like, and the hand part 156 of the doll part 155 is formed in the car body part. 151, and the abdomen 158 of the doll part 155 is aligned with the upper surface of the vehicle body part 151.

Furthermore, as shown in FIG. 9, one steel ball 140 having a diameter of about 5 mm to 10 mm is rotatably stored at the lower end of the front wheel part 121 in front of the vehicle body part 151. In some cases, the steel ball 140 is movable up and down inside the portion 117 so that it can be placed on the running track surface, or the lower end of the steel ball 140 is always projected from the opening 117 so that the steel ball 140 can move the front wheel portion 121, that is, the front wheel portion 121. The front part of the vehicle body part 151 is supported so that the running toy 100 can be placed on the running road surface.

The rear wheel portion 123 behind the vehicle body portion 151 has a ground contact portion 131 that is formed to imitate the shape of a wheel and has a flat surface, and is curved on both left and right sides of the ground contact portion 131 as shown in FIG. As shown in FIG. 11, a weight 153 is installed inside and below the rear wheel portion 123.

In addition, in this traveling toy 100, as shown in FIG. 11, weights 153 are installed not only inside the rear wheel section 123 but also inside and below the vehicle body section 151. The center of gravity of the traveling toy 100 is lowered by using iron or lead plates or lumps, steel balls, iron or lead balls, etc., and a weight is also used in the car body part 151 of the toy main body part 110. 153 internally, the center of gravity of the traveling toy 100 is located forward of the ground contact portion 131, which is the lower end of the rear wheel portion 123.

In this way, a flat part having a flat plane having a predetermined width on the left and right is formed as the grounding part 131, and a plane extending from the flat part is a contact surface where the lower end of the steel ball 140 contacts, or the front wheel part 121. By forming a contact surface that is flush with the surface of the opening 117 provided at the lower end of the steel ball 140, even when the grounding portion 131 is set to one point, the lower end of the steel ball 140 or the front surface of the opening 117 is Due to the support and the grounding portion 131 which is a flat portion of the rear wheel portion 123, the traveling toy 100 can be stably placed on the board surface.

By incorporating the weight 153 into the vehicle body 151, the center of gravity of the traveling toy 100 is lowered, and the traveling toy 100, which has a two-wheeled shape, is formed between the steel balls 140 of the front wheel section 121 or the opening 117 and the rear wheel section 123. Even when supporting at two points with the grounding portion 131, the device can be placed on a flat surface in a more stable state.

Note that the weight 153 is not limited to the case where it is provided inside the rear wheel section 123 and the inside of the vehicle body section 151; when it is provided only inside the rear wheel section 123, when it is provided only inside the vehicle body section 151, when it is provided only inside the vehicle body section 151, There are cases where a plurality of units are provided inside the section 151.

Of course, when the weight 153 is provided inside the rear wheel portion 123, the stability of the traveling toy 100 can be increased by placing the center of gravity close to directly above the grounding portion 131 formed by the flat portion, If the weight 153 is provided on the ground, etc., the center of gravity should be reliably located in front of the ground contact part 131, and in the traveling toy 100 in which the lower end of the steel ball 140 always projects below the opening 117, the turning performance should be improved. It is something that can be done.

By providing curved portions 133 on both sides of the ground contact portion 131 of the rear wheel portion 123 and lowering the center of gravity of the traveling toy 100 than the center of curvature of the curved portion 133, the traveling toy 100 can run relative to the plane on which the traveling toy 100 is placed. When the toy 100 is tilted, by bringing the curved portion 133 provided on the side of the ground contact portion 131 into contact with the mounting plane, as the inclination angle of the traveling toy 100 increases, the center of gravity becomes higher and a restoring force is generated. Even if the center of gravity of the traveling toy 100 comes off from above the flat ground contact portion 131, the possibility of the center of gravity coming off from the contact area between the mounting plane and the curved portion 133 and falling is reduced, and the traveling toy 100 is placed thereon. It is possible to increase the stability when the plane is inclined, and to move the traveling toy 100 so that the front thereof faces in an inclined direction.

Note that the stability may be improved by increasing the width of the grounding portion 131 in the left-right direction to some extent without providing the curved portions 133 on both sides of the grounding portion 131.

Furthermore, when the steel ball 140 is one piece and the grounding part 131 is one point, the rear support is not limited to the case where the grounding part 131 has a predetermined width on the left and right by forming a flat part as the grounding part 131. The lower end of the portion 135 may be formed only in a symmetrical curved shape, and a part of the curved portion may be used as the ground contact portion 131 to form the ground contact portion 131 having almost no left and right width.
