Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] (Industrial Application Field) The present invention relates to a traveling toy having a chassis provided with a support member that can be raised and lowered.

(Prior art and its problems) In a conventional traveling toy configured to use an engine as a drive source and transmit its driving force to a drive shaft of a drive wheel via a gear, the engine is started by a string or a force-giving member. Or it was giving rotational force to the flywheel. However, in this case, it is not possible to place the traveling toy directly on the running surface and perform the above operations, so the traveling toy must be turned upside down or held in hand to start the engine or rotate the flywheel. However, there were some drawbacks, such as the fact that the operation was troublesome, and a solution to this problem was desired.

(Technical Problems of the Invention) The present invention has been made in view of the above-mentioned points of view, and is particularly aimed at providing a running toy that can start an engine or apply rotational force to a flywheel while placed on a running surface. The purpose is to make suggestions.

(Means to solve the problem) As a technical means to solve the above problem,
The traveling toy according to the present invention is equipped with a drive unit and is characterized by having the following requirements.

(a) A supporting member formed in a U-shape by left and right opposing pieces and a connecting piece thereof is provided near the wheels of the traveling toy so as to be rotatable in the upright direction and the downward direction. The left and right opposing pieces must be placed between the sides of the chassis and the wheels.

(Operations and Effects of the Invention) As configured above, the traveling toy according to the present invention rotates and raises the support member provided on the chassis, thereby moving the drive wheels fixed to the drive shaft with respect to the running surface. Since it can be made to float, it is convenient in this state to easily start the engine, which is the drive source of the traveling toy, or to apply rotational force to the flywheel. When the traveling toy is made to travel, the supporting member may be rotated and brought down.

Further, since the facing piece of the support member is arranged between the side surface of the vehicle chassis and the wheels, it does not interfere with devices such as the engine, and does not impair the appearance.

(Example) Hereinafter, an example of an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

In FIGS. 1a and 1b, reference numeral A indicates a traveling toy according to the present invention. This traveling toy A has a drive unit (not shown) mounted therein. The drive mechanism of the drive unit is conventionally known and has a configuration in which an engine, a flywheel, etc. are used as a drive source, and the drive force is transmitted to the drive wheels (front wheels 1, 1 or rear wheels 2, 2) of the drive shaft via a reduction gear. be. Then, the engine is started or rotational force is applied to the flywheel via the string or the force-giving member.

As shown in FIG. 1a, the running toy A has a car body 3 shaped like a racing car, and supports members 4, 4 each having a substantially L-shaped side surface are provided at the front and rear of the car chassis 7. . Note that the vehicle body 4 may be formed to imitate a passenger car as shown in FIG.

As shown in FIG. 1b, the supporting members 4, 4 are pivotally connected to fitting recesses 5, 5... formed near the front and rear wheels of the chassis 7, and the left and right opposing pieces 4b, 4
Since b and its connecting piece 4a are formed into a U-shape,
It is provided so that it can be rotated in the standing direction and the folding direction.

It should be noted that the support members 4, 4 do not need to be provided at the front and rear, as long as they can separate the drive wheels from the running surface.

Since the traveling toy A is constructed as described above, in order to use it, first, the supporting members 4, 4 which are folded at the front and rear sides of the chassis 7 are rotated to stand up. A is supported in a floating state, and the drive wheels (front wheels 1, 1 or rear wheels 2, 2) are separated from the running surface. Therefore, it is possible to start a drive source such as an engine or a flywheel and transmit its driving force to the drive wheels. By rotating the support members 4, 4 in the direction of tilting them down, the traveling toy can be made to travel on the road.

As mentioned above, the traveling toy A has the support members 4, 4 provided at the front and rear of the chassis 7 so as to be rotatable in the up-and-down direction. This allows the moving toy A to be turned over as before,
You can start the engine or apply rotational force to the flywheel without having to hold it in your hand.
