This track 1 includes a stop track 10 installed at a loading location P1 and a discharge track 30 installed at an unloading location P2.
In this track traveling toy 100, for example, buckwheat noodles and the like are loaded onto the loading platform 57 of the traveling toy 5 using the bucket 2 at the loading location P1, and the traveling toy 5 transports them to the unloading location P2. , the noodles are discharged into bowl 3.
The details of this track running toy 100 will be explained below.

《Running toy 5》
2 is a perspective view of the traveling toy 5, and FIG. 3 is a perspective view of the towing vehicle 51 viewed from below. In the description of the traveling toy 5, "front and rear" and "left and right" refer to the front and rear, left and right as seen from inside the traveling toy 5.
The running toy 5 is a self-propelled train toy. The leading vehicle of the traveling toy 5 is a towing vehicle 51 equipped with a battery and a motor (not shown), and the second and third vehicles are freight vehicles 52 and 53 towed by the towing vehicle 51. It becomes. The towing vehicle 51 and the freight vehicle 52 are connected by a coupler 54, and the freight vehicle 52 and the freight vehicle 53 are connected by a coupler 54.
The traveling toy 5 is configured such that rear left and right wheels (drive wheels) 51b of the wheels 51b under the chassis 51a of the towing vehicle 51 are driven by motor power, and the traveling toy 5 travels.
Note that the towing vehicle 51 may be equipped with a power source such as a spiral spring instead of the battery and the motor.

FIG. 4 is an exploded perspective view of the freight vehicles 52, 53.
Here, the freight vehicles 52 and 53 are configured as follows. In addition, since the freight vehicles 52 and 53 have the same configuration, the same components will be described together using the same reference numerals.
The chassis 55 of the freight vehicles 52, 53 is configured in a flat plate shape, and wheels 56 are attached below the chassis 55. On the other hand, a bucket-shaped loading platform 57 is provided on the chassis 55.

The loading platform 57 is long in the front-rear direction and is open upward. The outer shape of the loading platform 57 is an inverted trapezoidal shape when viewed from the rear, with the lower edge being horizontal, the right edge standing upright from the right end of the lower edge, and the upper edge being horizontal and protruding to the left from the lower edge. The edges slope from the left edge of the bottom edge to the left edge of the top edge.
Moreover, the outer shape of the loading platform 57 is rectangular in plan view and side view.
When viewed from the rear, the loading platform 57 has a tongue-like shape that is erected on the chassis 55 via a shaft 57a extending back and forth of the loading platform 57 near a corner formed by a lower edge and a left edge. It is supported by support plates 59F and 59B.
On the other hand, inside the cargo platform 57, a cargo storage space is formed with a rectangular opening at the top. The left inner wall 60L and the right inner wall 60R, which form the accommodation space, are inclined so that the horizontal distance between them narrows as they go downward, and their lower ends meet with each other. This meeting portion is located near the corner formed by the lower edge and the right edge of the outer shape of the loading platform 57 when viewed from the rear. On the left inner wall 60L and the right inner wall 60R, a plurality of protrusions extending along the inclination are arranged in parallel in the front-rear direction. The ridges are used to make the load easier to slide during loading and unloading.

Furthermore, a sliding contact piece 58 is formed at the lower end of the right outer wall of the loading platform 57 and projects outwardly to the right. This sliding contact piece 58 constitutes a part of the loading platform 57. The sliding contact piece 58 is formed over the entire area of the loading platform 57 in the front and rear direction. As the freight vehicles 52 and 53 travel, this sliding contact piece 58 slides on a first inclined sliding surface 32b or a second inclined sliding surface 32c, which will be described later, to rotate the loading platform 57 about the shaft 57a. do the work. Note that the entire sliding contact piece 58 does not come into sliding contact with the first inclined sliding contact surface 32b or the second inclined sliding contact surface 32c, and the front end portion of the sliding contact piece 58 does not come into sliding contact with the first inclined sliding contact surface 32b. The rear end portion is in sliding contact with the surface 32c.

Further, the left end portion of the chassis 55 is provided with a slope portion 55a that slopes toward the lower left. The left outer wall of the fallen loading platform 57 comes into contact with the upper surface of this inclined portion 55a.
Note that when the loading platform 57 is empty, it is stably held by its own weight in the upright position and the collapsed (tilted) position.
Alternatively, when the loading platform 57 is empty, it is stably held only in the upright position by its own weight or spring bias, and when it is tilted, it returns to the upright position by itself due to gravity or the biasing force of the spring. Good too.

《Stopping track 10》
5 is a perspective view of the stationary track 10, FIG. 6 is an exploded perspective view of the stationary track 10, and FIGS. 7(A) and 7(B) are diagrams for explaining the operation of the stationary track 10. In the description of the track 1, "left and right" refers to the left and right when viewed from the traveling toy 5 running on the track 1.
The parking track 10 is a track for stopping the traveling toy 5. This stopping track 10 functions to stop the moving toy 5 that has entered the cargo loading place P1, and after loading the cargo, to start the moving toy 5 again by pressing the button 11.

On the stationary track 10, left and right movable rails 12L and 12R, on which all of the left and right wheels 51b of the towing vehicle 51 ride, are laid. The left and right movable rails 12L and 12R are provided in left and right openings 10bL and 10bR formed in the middle of the fixed rails of the track body 10a. In addition, the left and right movable rails 12L and 12R are connected to a button 11 provided on the side of the track, and normally sink into the depths of the left and right openings 10bL and 10bR, but when the button 11 is pressed, they rise up and rise to the left and right openings 10bL. , 10bR. Hereinafter, the position where the left and right movable rails 12L and 12R sink from the road surface will be referred to as a lowered position, and the position where the left and right movable rails 12L and 12R close the openings 10bL and 10bR will be referred to as a raised position.

That is, a rotating plate 13 provided with left and right movable rails 12L, 12R is installed inside the stationary track 10. A button 11 disposed beside the track is attached to one end of the rotating plate 13. The button 11 protrudes from the hole 10c of the track body 10a. The rotating plate 13 is supported by the track body 10a via a shaft 15 between the button 11 and the left and right movable rails 12L, 12R. In the normal state, the rotating plate 13 rotates in one direction due to its own weight to bring the left and right movable rails 12L and 12R to the lowered position, and when the button 11 is pressed, it rotates in the other direction and the left and right movable rails 12L and 12R are the raised positions.

Further, on the upper surface of the track body 10a, right and left holding portions 14L and 14R, which can be brought into contact with the lower side of the chassis 51a of the towing vehicle 51, are formed at portions immediately inside the left and right openings 10bL and 10bR. The upper surfaces of the left and right holding parts 14L and 14R are set so that when the lower side of the chassis 51a comes into contact with them, the running toy 5 can be held at approximately the same height as in the running state. Irregularities are formed on the upper surfaces of the holding parts 14L and 14R, and when the vehicle is stopped, the asperities come into sliding contact with the lower side of the chassis 51a, thereby effectively applying a brake to the towing vehicle 51.

≪Actions and effects of the stationary track 10≫
According to this stationary track 10, when the running toy 5 entering the stationary track 10 has the left and right movable rails 12L, 12R in the lowered position, the wheels 51b of the towing vehicle 51 are located at the left and right openings 10bL, 10bR. When the wheel 51b reaches the left and right openings 10bL and 10bR, the lower side of the chassis 51a of the towing vehicle 51 comes into contact with the left and right holding parts 14L and 14R. At this time, the rear wheels 51b of the towing vehicle 51 do not touch the left and right movable rails 12L, 12R, so the towing vehicle 51 is braked by the left and right holding parts 14L, 14R and comes to a stop (FIG. 7(A) ).
On the other hand, when the left and right movable rails 12L and 12R are in the raised position by pressing the button 11, the running toy 5 that has entered the stationary track 10 has its wheels 51b in contact with the left and right movable rails 12L and 12R, so that the chassis 51a, 55 passes through the left and right holding parts 14L and 14R without rubbing (FIG. 7(B)).
Furthermore, when the left and right movable rails 12L, 12R are brought to the raised position by pressing the button 11, the stopped running toy 5 comes into contact with the wheels 51b of the towing vehicle 51, and the towing vehicle 51 is slightly lifted. , resumes running (Fig. 7(B)).
As a result, a stationary track 10 with an unprecedented novel structure can be realized.

<<Modification example of stationary track 10>>
In the above, the left and right movable rails 12L and 12R were raised and lowered by the lever action (rotation) of the rotary plate 13. For example, one elevating plate may be moved up and down directly by operating a lever or via a cam or a link.

Further, in the above, the left and right movable rails 12L and 12R take the lowered position due to the weight of the rotating plate 13, but the left and right movable rails 12L and 12R may take the lowered position by spring bias. .

Furthermore, in the above, the left and right movable rails 12L and 12R normally take the lowered position, but conversely, due to spring bias, etc., the left and right movable rails 12L and 12R normally take the raised position, and the operator The lowered position may be taken by operation.

≪Discharge track 30≫
8 is a perspective view of the discharge track 30, FIG. 9 is an exploded view of the discharge track 30, and FIG. 10 is a perspective view of the sliding block 32.
A thick flat hollow wall 31 is erected on the right side of the track body 30a of the discharge track 30. The upper surface of the wall 31 is set at such a height that the sliding contact pieces 58 of the traveling freight vehicles 52 and 53 do not touch it. Therefore, if there is no sliding contact block 32, which will be described later, the freight vehicles 52 and 53 will pass through the wall 31 as is, and the loading platform 57 will not be tilted.

As for the upper surface of the wall 31, the upper surface 31a on the entrance side of the traveling toy 5 is low, and the upper surface 31b on the exit side is slightly higher. The reason why the upper surface 31b on the exit side is made slightly higher is to make it difficult to remove the sliding contact block 32 when the first inclined sliding surface 32b of the sliding contact block 32 (described later) comes into sliding contact with the sliding contact piece 58. .
A rectangular insertion hole 33 that is elongated in the moving direction of the traveling toy 5 is formed in the upper surface 31a of the wall 31 on the entrance side. A protrusion 32a of a sliding block 32, which will be described later, can be inserted into this insertion hole 33, and the sliding block 32 is attached by inserting the protrusion 32a.

The sliding block 32 is a thick, hollow flat plate having a substantially isosceles triangular shape when viewed from the side. A projection 32a having a shape complementary to the insertion hole 33 is formed on the bottom surface of the sliding block 32. This sliding block 32 is configured to be detachable from the wall 31. The sliding contact block 32 can selectively take a retention state in which it is kept in a fixed position by mounting, and a withdrawal state in which it retreats from the fixed position by detachment.
In the sliding block 32, the inclined surface on the entrance side corresponding to one equilateral side of the isosceles triangle is the first inclined sliding surface 32b, and the inclined surface on the exit side corresponding to the other equilateral side is the second inclined sliding surface 32c. It consists of
The first inclined sliding contact surface 32b comes into sliding contact with the sliding contact pieces 58 of the incoming freight vehicles 52 and 53, thereby tilting the loading platform 57 to the left. Further, the second inclined sliding contact surface 32c comes into sliding contact with the sliding contact pieces 58 of the freight vehicles 52 and 53 that are leaving, and causes the loading platform 57 to shift to the upright state.
Further, in the sliding contact block 32, a step portion 32d is formed between the upper end of the first inclined sliding contact surface 32b and the upper end of the second inclined sliding contact surface 32c. The step portion 32d includes a vertical surface whose upper end is connected to the upper end of the first inclined sliding surface 32b, and a horizontal surface whose upper end is connected to the lower end of the vertical surface and the upper end of the second inclined sliding surface 32c. This stepped portion 32d functions to eliminate mounting errors and also constitutes a buffer zone.

FIG. 11 is a diagram showing a state in which the loading platform 57 of the freight vehicle 52 (or 53) is tilted.
That is, as the traveling toy 5 travels, when the sliding contact piece 58 comes into sliding contact with the first inclined sliding contact surface 32b, the loading platform 57 begins to tilt to the left, and eventually, due to the weight of the load, the first inclined sliding contact surface 32b slides. The sliding contact piece 58 separates from the sliding contact surface 32b, and the loading platform 57 tilts to the left. Thereafter, in order to raise the loading platform 57, the loading platform 57 is brought into sliding contact with the third inclined sliding contact surface 34c, which will be described later. At this time, if there is no buffer zone, the empty loading platform 57, which has become lighter, will jump up vigorously. When the contact piece 58 hits the second inclined sliding contact surface 32c, it bounces, and the sliding contact piece 58 does not follow the second inclined sliding contact surface 32c well. On the other hand, if there is a buffer zone, the force of the sliding contact piece 58 is effectively weakened by the surface (contact surface) of the stepped portion 32d, and then the sliding contact piece 58 is reliably brought into contact with the second inclined sliding contact surface 32c. I will follow suit and stand up.

On the left side of the discharge track 30 in the running direction, there are formed an inlet side input surface 34a and an outlet side input surface 34b that guide the load into the bowl 3 (FIG. 1). The inlet side input surface 34a is inclined downwardly toward the outlet side, and the outlet side input surface 34b is inclined downwardly toward the inlet side. The entrance side charging surface 34a extends from the upper edge of the track to the lower edge of the track. The outlet side charging surface 34b extends from above the track to the lower edge of the track. The upper part of the outlet-side input surface 34b constitutes a third inclined sliding surface (sliding contact portion) 34c where the corner of the front wall and left side wall of the fallen loading platform 57 slides. When the corners of the front wall and left side wall of the loading platform 57 come into sliding contact with the third inclined sliding contact surface 34c, the loading platform 57 is flipped up.

《Function and effect of discharge track 30》
When the sliding contact block 32 is attached, the first inclined sliding surface 32b of the traveling toy 5 slides against the sliding contact piece 58, and when the loading platform 57 is tilted to the left to some extent, the loading platform 57 is moved by the moment balance. Tilt to eject the load. On the other hand, when the sliding block 32 is removed, the loading platform 57 does not tilt, so the traveling toy 5 passes through without discharging the load.
As a result, by attaching and detaching the sliding block 32, the loading platform 57 can be folded down only when unloading is desired.

《Modified example of discharge track 30》
In the above, the inclined surface on the exit side of the sliding contact block 32 constitutes the second inclined sliding contact surface 32c, but the sliding contact piece 57 of the loading platform 57 slides into sliding contact with the third inclined sliding contact surface 34c. The sliding contact piece 57 of the loading platform 57 that has jumped up well can be configured so as not to come into contact with the step portion 32d of the sliding contact block 32 and the second inclined sliding contact surface 32c.
Such a configuration can be realized by changing the position of the third inclined sliding surface 34c so as to change the timing at which the sliding contact piece 57 of the loading platform 57 slides on the third inclined sliding surface 34c.
In this case, the lifted loading platform 57 may come into contact with the chassis 55 immediately, but in order to prevent the loading platform 57 from immediately contacting the chassis 55, the sliding contact piece 57 is placed on the wall immediately before the loading platform 57 comes into contact with the chassis 55. It is preferable to once contact the upper surface 31b of 31. For this purpose, the height of the upper surface 31b of the wall 31 must be set so that the sliding contact piece 57 of the loading platform 57 contacts the upper surface 31b of the wall 31 immediately before it contacts the chassis 55.
With such a configuration, the impact caused by the immediate contact between the loading platform 57 and the chassis 55 is alleviated, and the freight vehicles 52 and 53 are prevented from moving wildly.
In addition, in the case of such a configuration, even when the sliding contact block 32 is removed, the sliding contact piece 57 will come into sliding contact with the upper surface 31b of the wall 31, and the loading platform 57 will be slightly lifted from the chassis 55. If the height of the upper surface 31b is set to such a height that the loading platform 57 only slightly floats above the chassis 55, the loading platform 57 can be passed while being maintained in the same state as in normal travel. At this time, the sliding contact piece 57 may also come into sliding contact with the top surface 31a of the wall 31, but it is preferable that it comes into sliding contact only with the top surface 31b of the wall 31.
Furthermore, the sliding block 32 may be formed in place of the upper surface 31b of the wall 31 in this case.

Further, in the above description, the sliding contact block 32 is configured to be detachable, but the sliding contact block 32 may be able to move forward and backward with respect to a fixed position while maintaining the attached state. For example, it may be configured to be able to protrude or retract from the wall 31, and may be configured to protrude only when in use.
Further, the sliding block 32 may be configured to be rotatable around a vertical axis, and may be configured to advance or retreat from a fixed position by rotation.
These allow the sliding block 32 to be placed in a reserved state and removed.

Moreover, in the above, the first inclined sliding contact surface 32b and the second inclined sliding contact surface 32c are formed on the sliding contact block 32, and the first inclined sliding contact surface 32b and the second inclined sliding contact surface 32c are connected to the sliding contact piece 58. Although the sliding contact is made, a groove may be formed in the sliding contact block 32, and a protrusion formed on the freight trains 52, 53 side may be brought into sliding contact with the wall of this groove.

Furthermore, although the sliding contact piece 58 is provided on the main body of the loading platform 57 in the above, the main body of the loading platform 57 can be slid on the first inclined sliding contact surface 32b and the second inclined sliding contact surface 32c without providing the sliding contact piece 58. You can also let them touch each other.

Furthermore, in the above description, the loading platform 57 is brought into the load discharge state by sliding the sliding contact piece 58 in sliding contact with the first inclined sliding contact surface 32b of the sliding contact block 32 installed, but when the sliding contact block is installed in the loading opening, By making sliding contact between the sliding block and the loading platform 57, the loading platform 57 can be maintained in a loading state, and by separating the sliding contact block, the loading platform 57 can be maintained in a loading state by gravity or a biasing force such as a spring force. good. In this case, it is preferable to provide a fixed sliding contact portion on the track 1 and to bring the carrier 57 of the traveling toy 5 into sliding contact with the track 1 to maintain the carrier 57 in a loaded state.

When the sliding block is in the reserved state, the loading platform which is in the loading state and has reached the fixed position maintains the loading state by sliding contact between the sliding block and the loading platform, and When the contact block is in the retracted state, a predetermined urging force acting on the loading platform temporarily takes the load discharging state;
An orbital running toy characterized by: The sliding block is configured to be attachable to and detachable from the track, and is characterized in that when it is attached, it assumes the retained state in which it is kept at the fixed position, and when it is detached, it assumes the withdrawn state in which it retreats from the fixed position. The track running toy according to claim 1 or 2. The sliding contact block is formed with an inclined sliding surface that slides into contact with the loading platform and changes the loading platform from the loaded state to the unloaded state,
One of the track and the sliding block,
A contact surface is formed that temporarily contacts the loading platform to weaken the momentum of the loading platform during the transition from the load discharging state to the loading state.
The track running toy according to claim 1 , characterized in that: The sliding contact block includes:
a first inclined sliding contact surface that slides on the loading platform to change the loading platform from the loaded state to the unloaded state;
a second inclined slide whose upper end is lower than the upper end of the first inclined sliding contact surface and which slides into contact with the loading platform when transitioning from the load discharging state to the loading state to guide the transition to the load discharging state; The tangential surface and
a step portion disposed between the upper end of the first inclined sliding contact surface and the upper end of the second inclined sliding contact surface;
is formed,
The stepped portion is
consisting of a vertical surface whose upper end is connected to the upper end of the first inclined sliding contact surface, and a horizontal surface connected to both the lower end of the vertical surface and the upper end of the second inclined sliding contact surface ,
