DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a traveling play equipment having a play equipment main body formed in the shape of a wooden horse and allowing a player riding on the main body to easily move forward and downward by moving his / her weight up and down.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, there is a wooden horse as one of the representative play equipment. Such wooden horses are commonly used to move weight using springs, or to play while swinging like a rocking chair by installing a curved plate.

[0003] In addition, there has been developed a type in which a motorized driving unit is installed inside the main body of a wooden horse so that the player can automatically move forward while riding on the main body of the wooden horse.

[0004]

However, a device that shifts weight by installing a spring or a curved plate on a wooden horse is a playground equipment developed especially for infants, and cannot move the wooden horse body forward. .

[0005] In addition, when an electric drive unit is installed inside the main body of a wooden horse and moved forward, there is a problem that not only the manufacturing cost is increased but also noise is generated during operation.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION In view of the above, the present invention provides a play equipment main body formed in a wooden horse shape, and a player riding on the upper part of the main body can smoothly and quickly move forward by simply moving the weight up and down. It is intended to provide a traveling play equipment.

[0007]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION In view of the above, the present invention provides a rectangular outer shell having a rectangular inner shell with a displacement of 45 ° therein, and a gap between the outer shell and the inner shell. A spring member formed by press-fitting a cylindrical elastic member into the portion is installed at the base end of the front and rear legs of the playground equipment main body, and the end of the front and rear legs is allowed to rotate in only one direction. Rollers were installed.

In addition, an acoustic device that senses vibration from the outside and emits an animal cry is installed inside the play equipment.

With the above construction, when the player on the play equipment moves up and down the weight, the elastic member of the spring member is compressed while rolling, the legs are operated, and the rollers are rotated in a certain direction. Can be moved forward.
Also, by hitting the main body with a whip or a palm, it is possible to produce a horse cry from play equipment.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS Next, an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. FIG. 1 is a side view of the running play equipment of the present invention, FIG. 2 is a perspective view of a spring member, and FIG.
4B shows the operation of the spring member, FIG. 4 shows the roller, FIGS. 5A and 5B show the operation of the roller, and FIGS. 6A and 6B.
(C) shows the operation of the forward movement of the traveling play equipment, and FIG. 7 shows the use state.

The running play equipment of the present invention comprises a wooden body 1, a leg 10 which can be freely opened, a spring member 20 provided at a base end of the leg 10, and an end of the leg 10. And a roller 30 installed at the center.

The main body 1 is shaped like a wooden horse, and is made of a wooden material.
The handle 2 is fixed to the head of the main body 1 in the left-right direction. Further, a holding plate 3 is provided inside the main body 1, and the spring member 20, the acoustic device 6 and the footrest portion 4 are fixed to the holding plate 3, respectively. Furthermore, at the rear of the body 1,
A sensor 5 for detecting vibration from the outside is installed, and by hitting the rear of the main body 1 with a palm or a stick,
The sound of the horse can be produced from the acoustic device 6. The main body 1 is not limited to the shape of a wooden horse, but may be a dog, a lion, a rabbit, or the like, as long as the design is suitable for children.

The leg 10 includes a front leg 11 disposed at the lower front of the main body 1 and a rear leg 1 disposed at the rear.
1 ', and a spring member 2 is provided at the base end of each leg 10.
0 is set. A front roller 31 is provided at an end of the front leg 11, and a rear roller 31 'is provided at an end of the rear leg 11'.

As shown in FIG. 2, the spring member 20 has a rectangular inner shell 22 inside a metal rectangular outer shell 21 with a displacement of 45.degree. Shell 22
Is formed by press-fitting a columnar elastic member 23 into a gap S between the two. The inner shell 22 of the spring member 20
The base of the leg 10 is fixed to the inside.

The spring member 20 is shown in FIG.
As shown in (b), when the player on the main body 1 moves the weight up and down, the elastic member 23 is compressed while rolling in the gap. Therefore, the leg 10 is gently moved back and forth.

As shown in FIG. 4, the roller 30 is composed of an outer peripheral tire portion 37, an inner race 32 and an outer race 33 disposed inside the tire portion 37, and the inner race 32 has legs. It is fixed to the end of the part 10.

A plurality of cylindrical roller clutches 34 are provided between the inner race 32 and the outer race 33. A leaf spring 35 is interposed between the roller clutches 34. In addition, outer race 33
Is formed in a curved shape.

The roller 30 has a structure that allows the roller clutch 34 to rotate in only one direction. As shown in FIG. 5A, when the outer race 33 rotates in the direction A, the roller clutch 34 is disposed at the position of the maximum diameter portion 36 of the outer race 33, and the roller clutch 34 moves the leaf spring 35 in the direction of the arrow. Continue to rotate in direction a while pushing.

As shown in FIG. 5B, when the outer race 33 attempts to rotate in the direction B, the leaf spring 3
5 pushes the roller clutch 34 in the direction of the arrow. Therefore, the roller clutch 34 is sandwiched between the outer race 33 and the inner race 32,
Suppress rotation in the direction. With the above-described configuration, the roller 30 is allowed to rotate only in one direction, that is, only in the forward movement direction.

Next, the operation of the traveling play equipment of the present invention in the forward movement will be described with reference to FIGS. 6 (a), 6 (b) and 6 (c).

FIG. 6A shows a normal state in which gravity is not applied to the main body 1.

FIG. 6B shows a state in which gravity (weight) is applied to the main body 1. When downward gravity is applied to the main body 1, the roller 31 of the front leg 11 rotates in the direction a. To move forward. At this time, the roller 31 'of the rear leg 11' tries to rotate in the direction b, but the rotation in the direction b is suppressed by the roller clutch 34. Therefore, when downward gravity is applied, the main body 1 moves forward.

FIG. 6C shows a state in which the main body 1 is lifted upward by the urging of the spring member 20. When the main body 1 is raised, the roller 31 'of the rear leg 11' rotates in the direction a and moves forward. At this time, the roller 3 of the front leg 11
1 tries to rotate in the direction b, but the roller clutch 34
As a result, the rotation is suppressed. Therefore, even when the main body 1 moves up, the main body 1 moves forward. By repeating the above-described operation, the running play equipment can continuously move forward.

[0024]

As described above, the traveling playground equipment of the present invention has the following effects by adopting the above-described configuration.

Since the rollers for suppressing rotation in only one direction are provided on both legs, the legs can be moved forward reliably and easily. Further, the spring member used in the present invention includes:
Since the elasticity is obtained by the elastic member being compressed while rolling, the legs can be operated gently.

Also, since an acoustic device for producing a horse squeal is provided inside the main body, the recreational effect can be improved.
