Then, the reciprocating amount of the slide members 140 and 160 is adapted to the opening operation of the front and rear leg portions 23 and 24, and the radial distance from the rotation center of the engaging protrusions 131a and 131a on the cam discs 131. The amount of movement a of the slide member 140 for adjusting the front leg 23 to operate the rear leg 24
It is set so that the movement amount b of the slide member 160 that activates is reduced, but the invention is not particularly limited to this.
Engaging projections 131a, 131a on the cam disk 131 ...
The front and rear legs 23 and 24 have the same radial distance from the center of rotation, or the slide member 160 that operates the rear legs 24 is fixed, and only the relative movement of the slide member 140 with respect to the traveling body 19 is performed. By moving the magnetic body MG1 or MG2 for traction relative to the traveling body 19, for example, the front and rear leg portions 23, 24
Any structure may be used as long as it can open and close.

In each of the above embodiments, each connecting means A,
B and C are adopted, but not limited to this, for example,
What kind of structure does another link, gear, chain, belt, or the like, and the combination thereof have as long as it is a connecting means that makes the operating distance of the front leg portion 23 and the operating distance of the rear leg portion 24 uneven? Of course, it may be a connecting means.

Further, in each of the above embodiments, the horse models 20, 30, 40 are used as animal models, but the invention is not limited to this, and for example, front and rear legs of dogs, cats, gongs, rabbits, etc. can be used. It goes without saying that any animal model imitating any animal may be used as long as it is an animal model that runs while opening and closing.

[0087]

As described above, according to the first aspect of the present invention, the connecting means makes the working distance of the front leg portion and the working distance of the rear leg portion uneven. To do.

Therefore, in the animal model, the towed magnetic body provided at the lower ends of the front and rear legs is magnetically attached to the towed magnetic body by the towed magnetic body provided on the upper portion of the carriage that moves under the traveling plate.
The front leg portion of the body portion is connected when the leg portion is opened and closed by moving on the traveling plate as the truck moves and moving the towing magnetic body relative to the truck. The amount of subsidence between the portion that connects the rear leg of the body and the portion that connects is also uneven.

Therefore, for example, if a head portion is provided at the tip of the body and a tail portion is provided at the rear end, the head portion and the tail portion move up and down unevenly along with the open / close legs, and the movement approximates the movement of the real thing. By showing, the player's interest can be intrigued.

According to the second aspect of the present invention, the connecting means pivotally supports the front leg portion with respect to the body portion and the rear leg portion with respect to the body portion. Fix it.

Therefore, when the legs are opened and closed, the amount of sinking of the portion of the body connecting the front legs becomes larger than the amount of sinking of the portion connecting the rear legs of the body.

Therefore, for example, if a head portion is provided at the tip of the body and a tail portion is provided at the rear end, the vertical movement amount of the head portion becomes larger than the vertical movement amount of the tail portion, and the head portion follows the opening / closing leg. Can be greatly shaken, and by showing a movement similar to the movement of the real thing, it is possible to intrigue the player's interest, which is a practically useful effect.
