Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] The present invention includes a drive mechanism housed in a pot-shaped main body, a drive wheel operated by the drive mechanism, and further includes:
The lid, which can be opened and closed freely, is opened and closed by a lifting rod that engages with the output shaft of the drive mechanism and moves up and down during travel, and the pot-shaped main body is originally designed as a pot that travels while boiling. It brings out an impossible situation and can provide a so-called joke toy with extremely comical movements.

Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.

The main body 1 formed into a pot shape has a pair of outer shells 2 divided into two parts.
, 2 are joined together to form a hollow bolt shape, with a spout 3 attached to the front side and a handle 4 protruding from the back side.

In addition, the base end of the lid 5 is rotatably supported by a shaft on the upper edge of the outer shells 2, and the lid 5 is rotatably supported by a shaft on the upper edge of the outer shell 2. A spring winding shaft 7 of the mainspring unit projects, and a knob 7a is provided on the shaft.

Furthermore, drive wheels 8, 8 are provided at the bottom of the main body 1, and an elevating rod 9 is arranged on the back side of the lid 5 at the top of the main body, and when driving, this elevating rod 9 moves up and down to push up the back side of the lid 5. The lid 5 is then opened and closed.

To further explain the internal structure in detail, a pair of outer shells 2, 2
Two supporting plates 10.11 that horizontally partition the main body are provided with a predetermined gap between them, and a through hole 10 provided in the supporting plates 10.11 is provided inside the main body 1 formed by joining the main body 1. a
, 11a, the elevating rod 9 is fitted in such a manner that it can be freely raised and lowered.

Two annular flanges 9a and 9b protrude from the middle part of the lifting rod 9, and the lower flange 9b hits the periphery of a through hole 11a formed in the lower support plate 11, causing the lifting rod to The upper flange 9a hits the periphery of a through hole 10a formed in the upper support plate 10 to restrict the upper part 9 from rising.

Reference numeral 12 denotes a spring unit, which is fixed inside the left and right main body 1 in a slightly inclined state as shown in FIG.

The mainspring unit 12 has a gear fixed to the mainspring winding shaft 7 and a plurality of driven gear trains interlocking with the gear.
The rotating shafts of these gears are taken out as output shafts depending on the purpose, so that a rotating force having a desired reduction ratio can be obtained.

The mainspring unit 12 is made of plastic except for the mainspring, the winding shaft 11, and the output shaft, so that it is smaller than conventional units, operates accurately, and has high versatility.

Then, one gear is selected from the gear train, and its rotating shaft is set as an output shaft 13 and protrudes from both sides of the lower part of the mainspring unit 12.
, 8 are pivoted.

The gear shaft of another gear is the output shaft 14, and a cam 15 having a claw is fixed to the tip of the output shaft 14. The cam 15 is in contact with the lower end of the lifting rod 9, and is raised and lowered when rotating. Pushing up rod 9.

(See Figure 3) 16 is the bottom plate 1b that connects the pair of outer shells 2, 2, and the drive wheel 8,
8 protrudes downward and contacts the floor surface.

A training wheel 18 is also attached to the bottom plate 16.

A bearing frame 19 supports the auxiliary wheel 18, and the bearing frame 19 is positioned in a recess 20 formed in the bottom plate 16, and is fixed slightly tightly with screws 21.

Therefore, this auxiliary wheel 18 can be turned at an appropriate angle and stopped, and depending on the angle, the main body 1 can be moved straight or in a circular manner.

The lid 5 has a bearing hole 5a at its base end.
A protrusion 4a provided on the inside of the handle 4 is inserted into the hole a.

22 is a knob fitted into a hole 23 provided in the center of the lid 5.

Further, the arm portions 24.24 have shaft protrusions 24a at the base end fitted into through holes 25 provided in the pair of outer shells 2.degree.2 forming the main body 1, rather tightly.

The main body 1 displays eyes 26, a mouth 27, etc., and these displays, together with the arms 24 and the spout 3 displaying the nose, anthropomorphize the main body 1 and attract the curiosity of young children. It is configured as follows.

Next, the operation of this embodiment configured as above will be explained.

First, the mainspring is charged by pinching the knob 7a of the winding shaft 7 of the spring unit 12 with your fingers and winding it sufficiently.

Next, when the main body 1 is brought into contact with the floor, the driving wheels 8, 8 fixed to the output shaft 13 rotate as the mainspring unwinds, and the main body 1 starts running.

At this time, the cam 15 fixed to the other output shaft 14 also rotates, and its pawl intermittently pushes up the lifting rod 9, causing the lifting rod to rise and fall, and the lid 5 to be pushed up as well, as shown in FIG. The opening and closing operations shown in the figure are repeated.

Therefore, it appears as if the pot is running around while opening and closing the lid 5 and spewing out steam.

Since the present invention consists of the configuration explained above,
This pot-shaped running toy has a comical and interesting operating state that attracts the interest of young children, and has an extremely simple structure that allows it to be manufactured at low cost and to be miniaturized.
