The second guide member 73 faces the second guide roller 67 of the elevating / lowering action bar body 59.

The first and second guide members 71, 73 are provided with irregularities in the longitudinal direction based on a preset program, whereby the legs of the horse racing doll 31 are opened and closed via the leg opening / closing rods 57. At the same time, the horse racing doll 31 is moved up and down via the lifting / lowering rod body 59.

A plurality of guide rollers 75 for guiding the rods 57 and 59 are attached to the rotation position 25 of the moving table 19.

Next, a configuration for reversing the direction of the horse racing doll 31 will be described. As described above, the moving plate 19 is provided with the working plate 27. As shown in FIG.
It is attached so as to be rotatable around the support rod 29. A spring 79 is stretched between the working plate 27 and the substrate 21. For example, in the state shown in FIG. 4, the working plate 27 is biased clockwise. The left direction in FIG. 4 is the traveling direction of the horse racing doll 31.

On the other hand, a movement guide member 81 is installed between the moving table 19 of the base 1 and the horse racing doll 31. This movement guide member 81
Is a pair of plate bodies 83 that function as horse scenes for the horse racing doll 31.
It is composed of 83 and another plate body 85 located below these plate bodies 83. There is a gap 87 between the plate bodies 83, 83, and the various rod bodies 29, 57, 59 already described are vertically extended through the gap 87. Further, a disabled person 94 is installed at a substantially middle position of the plate body 83.

Equipped with 9, 89.

Then, as shown in FIG. 4, as the horse racing doll 31 moves to the left in the figure, the pin 93 protruding above the tip corner 91 of the action plate 27 hits the locking piece 89. Contact. Further, as the horse racing doll 31 progresses, as shown in FIG.
Is rotated counterclockwise and finally reversed by the spring force of the spring 79. By reversing the action plate 27, the rotating plate 25 also rotates and the direction of the horse racing doll 31 is reversed.

In addition, the normal rotation and the reverse rotation of the drive motor 9 are performed by the plate member 85.
This is done by bringing the end portion of the substrate 21 into contact with a pair of switches 95 (only one of which is shown in FIG. 6) mounted on.

Further, at the same time when the direction of the horse racing doll 31 is reversed, the end portions of the substrate 21 come into contact with the pair of switches 95 attached to the plate body 85, and the switch 95 operates. When the switch 95 is operated, an interrupt is generated in the program controlling the drive motor 9 to execute the reversal program. By this inversion program, the drive direction of the drive motor 9 is inverted by the output control current.

Further, as the drive motor, a motor capable of quantitatively counting the number of rotations such as a pulse motor may be used to determine the timing for executing the reversal program.

Further, by using the pulse count control and the switch 95 together, it is possible to further ensure the reversal of the drive motor 9.

For example, even if the switch 95 fails, the drive motor 9 can be reversed by pulse counting the arrival of the movable table at the end of the base 1.

On the contrary, even if the moving table arrives at the end of the base 1 faster than the reversal program based on the pulse count, the drive motor 9 can be reversed by the operation of the switch 95.

In this way, control by pulse counting and switch 95
By using and together, malfunctions can be complemented each other.

The operation will be described based on the above configuration.

First, description will be given assuming that the horse racing doll 31 runs in the right direction in FIG. The drive motor is turned on to rotate the endless belt 17 counterclockwise. As a result, the moving table 19 moves to the right in the figure, and accordingly, the horse racing doll 31
Also moves to the right in the figure.

At this time, the guide member 73 of the guide body 69 allows the leg opening / closing rod body 57 to be opened.
Moves up and down in a predetermined cycle, and as a result, the legs of the horse racing doll 31 open and close, creating a state where the horse racing doll 31 is actually running on the track. When the moving table 19 moves further, the horse racing doll 31 is positioned in front of the obstacle 94. At this time, the second guide 69
The guide member 73 raises the lifting / lowering rod 59.
This causes the horse racing doll 31 to rise (jump motion).
Jump over the obstacles above. At this time, the rod body for opening and closing the legs
Since 57 is also lifted by the first guide member 71, the legs are open.

When the movable table 19 moves further to the end of the base 1,
The operation of reversing the direction of the horse racing doll 31 is performed. In other words, the action piece 27 is reversed by the action of the action piece 27 and the locking piece 89, so that not only the rotating plate 25 but also the horse racing doll.
31 is reversed. After reversing, the rotation direction of the drive motor 9 is reversed and the movable table 19 is moved leftward in FIG. At this time, the same operation as described above is performed.

As described above, according to this embodiment, the following effects can be obtained.

First, with one power source, the horse racing doll 31 can be caused to perform various operations, and playability can be greatly improved. In particular,
By opening and closing the legs 35 and 37, it feels as if you are actually running on the horse riding ground, and in front of the obstacle 74, a jumping motion is performed, enabling a game with a realistic feeling. .

Further, in the case of the present embodiment, each mechanism has a simple structure and the probability of failure is low.

The present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiment, and the mode of the guide 69 is not limited to that shown in the figure.

Further, at an arbitrary timing (for example, before the obstacle 74), the guide body 69 is lowered by the solenoid. As a result, the horse racing doll 31 becomes unable to jump, that is, enters a mode in which it cannot jump over the obstacle 74.

Immediately after the horse racing doll 31 jumps, the drive motor 9 is turned off and the guide 69 is lowered by the solenoid. As a result, the fall horse mode is set. Other various modes are possible.

(Effects of the Present Invention) As described in detail above, according to the horse racing play equipment of the present invention, the legs of the horse racing doll can be opened and closed in accordance with the cycle of the unevenness of the first guide member, so that the game is realistic. Can be provided.

In addition, since the horse racing doll moves up and down according to the unevenness of the second guide member, it is possible to represent a situation in which an obstacle is overcome depending on the combination of the unevenness of the first guide member and the second guide member. Become.
