The tail 77 still rocks. The movement of the horse body 60 with respect to the jockey body 80 integrated with the carriage 21 moves the thighs 82L, 82R and the feet 83L, 83R linked between the two.

The rotation of the vertical rotating shaft 33 is converted to the rotation of the horizontal shaft 71 via the worm gear 70 in the gear box 63, and eccentrically rotates coaxially with the coaxial disk cam 73.
The rotation of 73 is the above horse body 60 and the front and rear legs 75L, 75R,
The thighs 82L, 82R and the feet 83L, 83R of the 76L, 76R, the tail 77, and the model jockey 23 are moved.

Referring to FIGS. 6 and 7, the movement of each of the above-mentioned parts while the disk cam 73 makes one rotation will be described. First, the disk cam 73 is located below the central axis P of the horizontal shaft 71. The time is shown by the solid line in FIG.

The horse body 60 is located at the lowest position,
75L, 75R (collectively front legs 75) and left and right rear legs 76L, 76R
(Collectively, the hind legs 76) are in an intermediate state where they are not expanded or contracted, and the tail 77 is in an intermediate position where it is not raised or lowered, but the left and right thighs 82L and 82R (the thighs 82) ) And the left and right feet 83L and 83R (collectively referred to as the feet 83) are in an extended state. Note that the left and right arm portions 81L and 81R are collectively referred to as the arm portion 81 and are used in FIGS. 6 and 7.

In this state, when the disc cam 73 rotates clockwise about the central axis P by 90 degrees in FIGS. 6 and 7, the state shown by the solid line in FIG. 7 is obtained. The horse body 60 moves forward while slightly rising, and accordingly the swing lever 92 swings clockwise via the link member 94 to swing the front leg 75 largely forward, and swings the swing lever 92. Swings the rear swing lever 93 counterclockwise through the link bar 94 and
Swing 76 backwards greatly. Therefore, the model horse 22 is displaced obliquely upward and forward, and the front legs 75 and the rear legs 76 are greatly expanded.

Next, when the disk cam 73 is further rotated clockwise about the central axis P by 90 degrees, the state shown by the two-dot chain line in FIG. 6 is obtained. That is, the disc cam 73 is located directly above the central axis P, the horse body 60 is at the highest position, the front and rear legs 75 and 76 return to a substantially intermediate state, but the thigh 82 and the foot 83 are contracted. State.

Next, when the disc cam 73 further rotates clockwise about the central axis P by 90 degrees, the state shown by the two-dot chain line in FIG. 7 is obtained. That is, the disc cam 73 is located behind the central axis P, and the horse body 60 moves backward while slightly descending.

The movement of the horse body 60 causes the swing lever 92 to swing counterclockwise via the link member 94 to swing the front leg 75 largely rearward, and the swing of the swing lever 92 is caused by the link bar. The swinging lever 93 on the rear side is swung clockwise through 94 to swing the rear leg 76 largely forward. Therefore, the model horse 22 is displaced obliquely downward and rearward to bring the front leg 75 and the rear leg 76 closer to each other to reduce the interval.

At the same time, the clockwise swing of the rear swing lever 93 is performed by locking the swing lever 78 engaged with the swing lever 93 with a locking pin.
It swings counterclockwise via 78b and raises the tail 77 integrated with the swing lever 78 upward.

The rotation of the disc cam 73 causes the model horse 22 to operate as described above, imitating a movement close to the actual horse movement. I try to effectively express the feeling of running and running hard.

The rotation of the rotation magnet 47 on the carrier 25 is transmitted to the rotation of the rotation magnet 35 on the carriage 21 by magnetic force, and the rotation
33, the rotation of the vertical rotation shaft 33 moves the model horse 22 as described above, so that the model horse 22 moves regardless of the running speed of the model running body 20. Therefore, the running style of each model horse 22 can be changed, and the running style can have individuality. By racing each model horse 22 having a different personality, the race can be made more and more interesting.

In order for the horse body 60 to move as described above, one point of the neck (cylindrical boss 61c) is pivotally connected about the pivot point Q of the arm 81 with respect to the jockey body 80, It has a simple structure that supports the center of the body so that the disk cam 73 can be rotated and displaced. The link mechanism for moving the front and rear legs 75 and 76 is also simple, with a small number of parts, light weight, compactness, and cost. descend.

In the above embodiment, the model running body 20 for horse racing is used.
However, the present invention is not limited to this, and can be applied to a model traveling body having a plurality of independent movements, such as a drum and whistle corps performing a parade and a dance doll. At that time, not only displace the model body along the vertical plane perpendicular to the left and right direction,
Various displacement methods are conceivable, such as displacing the model body along a plane perpendicular to the running direction.
