The voltage applied to the rails is controlled by a remote control so that the running toy is run while being guided in the groove. For wireless use, a two-channel transceiver is used to move the running toy forward and backward and front wheels. It was the one to drive while maneuvering.

[Problems to be Solved by the Invention] By the way, in a real car race, a car is a car that makes the best use of the road width with respect to the radius and angle of the car. , Entering from the outside of the curve toward the inside, keeping the inside in the middle of the curve, and accelerating from before the exit of the curve to reach the straight line while facing the outside of the curve.

From the running direction of such an automobile race, in the above-mentioned current collecting brush type, the running toy only controls the speed so as not to go out of the predetermined groove. There was a problem that the interestingness of the game was halved because it had a different image from the driving method of a real car race.

On the other hand, in the wireless system, since the speed and the traveling direction can be freely controlled, the above problems of the wired system can be solved, but a 2-channel transceiver is required, and the traveling toy side However, the structure is complicated and the manufacturing cost is high.

The present invention is intended to solve the above problems.
The purpose is to perform speed control even when using a one-channel wireless traveling toy that can only perform speed control, so that the shape of the groove in which the brush is guided makes the traveling toy a real car race in a curve. It is an object of the present invention to provide a traveling road device for traveling toys that can perform traveling control similar to the above.

Another object of the present invention is to provide a traveling toy that can be guided to a pit outside the course or can be guided from the pit to the course by controlling the speed of the traveling toy even in a straight course portion. The purpose is to provide a roadway device for the vehicle.

[Means for Solving the Problems] The traveling path device for a traveling toy according to the present invention is intended to achieve the above-mentioned object. The means is to provide a traveling toy on at least one surface of an endlessly formed traveling path main body. A large number of grooves for guiding the provided brush are formed, and the grooves are composed of a straight groove and an oblique groove, the oblique groove is separated from the linear groove before the curve, and the oblique groove is formed from the outer circumference. It is formed so as to have an obtuse angle with respect to the straight groove toward the inner periphery and is parallel to the straight groove at the end point of the curve. Of the curved portion may be parallel to the groove of the straight line portion at the end point of the curve, and the groove of the curved portion may be divided into a plurality of pieces in the traveling direction of the running toy. In addition, the inclination angle from the start point of the curve to the end point of the curve may be different, and a pit portion may be formed on the inner or outer peripheral side of the traveling path main body, and the traveling at this pit portion may be performed. On the course of the road, a plurality of grooves inclined toward the pit portion are formed.

[Operation] In the traveling path device for a traveling toy of the present invention configured as described above, a large number of grooves for guiding the brushes attached to the steering rod of the traveling toy are formed on the entire surface of the traveling path main body, and
Since the curved portion is formed with an obtuse angle with respect to the straight groove so that the groove goes from the outer circumference to the inner circumference, when the straight course reaches the curved course, the brush receives a resistance according to the speed of the traveling toy and the steering rod. Is controlled to move the running toy toward the inner peripheral side.

Further, even on a straight course, the groove at the entrance of the pit faces the pit side, so that it is possible to enter the pit by reducing the speed of the traveling toy.

[Embodiment of the Invention] Hereinafter, a first embodiment of the traveling road apparatus for a traveling toy according to the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. 1 to 3.

Reference numeral 1 denotes a running path main body made of a material such as a synthetic resin which is easy to form irregularities, and a large number of grooves 1a to 1c are formed on one side or both sides (one side in the figure) to the full width. These grooves are straight grooves 1a in the straight part of the road body 1, and in the curved part of the road body 1, in the middle of the curve before the curve. Heading toward the inside of the curve, there is an oblique groove 1b that is parallel to the straight groove 1a at the end point of the curve, and at the inner peripheral end of the curve there is a concentric circular groove 1c. There is.

The traveling path main body 1 configured as described above is formed to have an appropriate length. By combining these various traveling path main bodies, various courses as shown in FIG. 1 or FIG. 3 can be obtained. It can be made.

It should be noted that while the one shown in the figure is a game in which the running toy is rotated to the right for playing the game, the one for left rotation may be symmetrical to the one shown.

Next, the traveling road main body 2 of the second embodiment will be described with reference to FIG.

In this embodiment, a pit 21 is formed in the straight course portion of the traveling path main body 1, and an oblique entry groove 2a facing the pit 21 is formed in a portion of the straight course portion before the running toy enters. The formation of the return groove 21a for returning to the course from the pit 21 is a novel part which is not disclosed in the first reference at all.

Further, in this embodiment, the shape of the groove in the curved portion is different from that of the first embodiment. That is, the oblique groove 1b of the first embodiment is continuous in an arc shape, but the groove shape of the present embodiment is formed by the divided grooves 2b in which the respective different inclination angles from the outer circumference to the inner circumference are divided. That is. The straight groove 2c
Is the same as in the first embodiment.

The groove 2d is a runway changing groove for changing the direction of the running toy running outside the course to the inside.

Next, a traveling toy running on the traveling path main bodies 1 and 2 will be described.

3 is a running toy, a motor 3a for driving the rear wheels 3b whose forward and reverse rotations and rotational speeds are changed by a signal from a remote controller, a steering rod 3d for controlling the direction of the front wheels 3c,
One end is pivotally supported by the vehicle body, and an intermediate portion is pivotally supported by the steering rod 3d, and the front wheel 3c is provided on the lower surface of the tip of the pivoting arm 3e.
The brush 3f is made up of a bundle of elastic yarns such as nylon yarns or nylon tex, which are attached so as to project further downward.

Next, a method of causing the traveling toy 3 to travel on the traveling path main body 1 or 2 by radio control will be described.

First, set the brush 3f of the traveling toy 3 to the straight groove 1 of the traveling path main bodies 1 and 2.
Place it on the course with it inserted into a and 2c. When the remote controller is operated in this state to rotate the motor 3a in the forward direction, the drive wheel 3b rotates and the brush 3f is guided by the linear grooves 1a and 2c, and the front wheel 3c is passed through the steering rod 3d.
Is controlled to move forward along the linear grooves 1a and 2c. And
When the traveling toy 3 moves forward and reaches the oblique groove 1b or the divided groove 2b, the brush 3f is fitted into one of the grooves 1b and 2b and guided,
Therefore, the steering rod 3d is rotated by the contact resistance with the groove via the brush, and the direction of the front wheel 3c is determined.

Here, which part of the groove 1b, 2b the brush 3f fits into is determined by
It depends on the speed of the vehicle. That is, when it comes off the straight grooves 1a, 2c, it will slide on the uneven surface of the grooves 1b, 2b,
The frictional resistance causes the steering rod 3d to rotate so that the front wheels 3c face inward. This rotation amount is small when the vehicle speed is fast and is large when the vehicle speed is slow. Therefore, when the vehicle speed is fast, the vehicle curves greatly, and when the vehicle speed is slow, it curves slightly. As a result, if you want to turn a corner on a sharp curve, you only have to slow down, and you can operate like a real race.

Further, when entering the pit, the brush 3f is guided by the approach groove 2a by reducing the speed of the vehicle when it reaches the approach groove 2a formed in the portion of the straight groove 2c. Will be guided to. Furthermore, when returning the vehicle from the pit 21 to the course, the return groove
If you move forward while guiding brush 3f to 21a, brush 3
The f is guided by the straight groove 2c on the course, and the vehicle is guided on the straight course, so that the competition can be continued.

As described above, by forming the brush 3f with a bundle of elastic threads such as nylon thread or nylon tex,
If it is well guided in the groove and comes out of the groove,
The steering rod 3d can be sufficiently rotated by the frictional resistance with the uneven surface formed by the groove to bend a curve or the like.

[Advantage of the Invention] As described above, the present invention forms a large number of grooves on the course for guiding the brush attached to the steering rod of the traveling toy, and
At the curve, friction resistance with the brush allows the steering rod to curve both large and small in relation to the speed of the vehicle, so that you can play like a real race and form a pit. By controlling the speed, it is possible to make a pit stop, so that the player can play like a real race.
