DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION This invention relates to a children's vehicle, and more particularly to an improved structure of a children's vehicle to attract children.

Of particular interest to this invention is a children's vehicle in which a child sits astride the vehicle and runs by kicking the ground with both feet.

This gorgeous children's vehicle includes cars, motorcycles, airplanes,
There are styles on the market that imitate trains, trains, animals, and other shapes.

Such a wide variety of static external shapes cannot be overlooked because they attract children's attention.

In addition, dynamic changes are thought to have the effect of attracting children's interest more strongly if the movements are particularly unexpected.

Therefore, the main objective of this invention is to provide a children's vehicle that has not only a static external shape but also dynamic functions that are interesting to children.

To summarize, this idea is based on a vehicle body that is thought to be interesting to children because it gives dynamic changes to itself, and a firing operation means, and a projectile that can be fired by operating the firing operation means. The device is equipped with a spring that is actuated to fire a pseudo-bullet, thereby adding a so-called pop-up toy to a children's vehicle.

The above objects and other objects and features of the present invention will become more apparent from the detailed description given below with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 1 is a perspective view showing the appearance of an embodiment of this invention.

Referring to FIG. 1, first, only the schematic structure of one embodiment of this invention will be described.

The children's vehicle in this embodiment includes a vehicle body 1 made of hard plastic or the like.

This vehicle body 1 has a front housing 2 formed therein.

The remainder of the main body 3 excluding the front housing 2 is prepared as a molded body separate from the front housing 2.

As will be described in detail later, the front housing 2 is supported so as to be openable and closable relative to the rest of the main body 3.

Further, a seat 4 is provided on the upper part of the main body remainder 3.

A handle 10 is provided at the rear of the main body remainder 3.

A bundle 7 that projects upward is provided at a relatively front portion of the main body remainder 3.

Two front wheels 8 and two rear wheels 9 are rotatably provided below the main body remainder 3.

The front wheel 8 may be configured such that it can be turned around the axis of the bundle 7 by manipulation of the bundle 7.

A push button 11 is provided at the front end of the vehicle body 1.

This pushbutton 11 is connected to the front housing 2 as described above.
is operated to realize a state in which the main body is opened to the rest of the main body 3.

The front housing 2 is provided with a pop-up toy 5, which is a feature of this invention.
has a pair of barrels 13,13.

FIG. 2 is a sectional view of essential parts showing the internal mechanism of the pop-up toy 5 and the relationship between the front housing 2 and the remainder of the main body 3. FIG.

FIG. 3 is a right side view, partially in section, of the front part of the children's vehicle shown in FIG.

FIG. 4 shows a sectional view of the main part along line IV-IV in FIG. 2.

First, the opening/closing mechanism and locking mechanism of the front housing 2 will be explained with reference to FIGS. 1 to 3.

In this structure, as shown in FIG. 2, the front housing 2 is held by a shaft 30 so as to be rotatable in the direction of the arrow with respect to the rest of the main body 3.

A spring 31 is provided around this shaft 30.

This spring 31 acts so that its legs abut the front housing 2 and the rest of the main body 3, respectively, in a well-known manner and bias the front housing 2 in the opening direction.

On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 3, an engaging member 23 is formed on the rear end surface of the push button 11.

A guide pin 21 is provided to protrude rearward of the engaging member 23 and the push button 11.

This guide pin 21 is slidably guided relative to the guide tool 2°.

This guide tool 20 is fixed to the rest of the main body 3 by screws 22.

Further, a compression spring 19 is provided between the guide tool 20 and the engagement member 23 so as to surround the guide pin 21, so that the push button 11 is always biased in the direction of the arrow E.

Further, an engagement member 23 is provided at the lower front end of the front housing 2.
An engagement hole 17 is formed in which the engagement hole 17 is engaged.

Next, the opening/closing operation of the front housing 2 will be explained.

In this children's vehicle, in a normal state, the engagement member 23 and the engagement hole 17 are maintained in an engaged state by the elastic force of the compression spring 19, and the front housing 2 is held against the rest of the main body 3. It is in a closed state.

However, when the push button 11 is pushed in the direction of arrow F against the elastic force of the compression spring 19, the engagement member 23 and the engagement hole 1
The engagement state with 7 is released.

Accordingly, the elastic force of the spring 31 causes the front housing 2 to
is in an open state with respect to the rest of the main body 3.

Although the above configuration is intended to attract children's interest, it is not necessarily necessary for this invention and may be omitted.

For example, the front housing 2 and the remainder of the main body 3 may be integrally constructed.

Next, the pop-up toy 5, which is a feature of this invention, will be explained with reference to FIGS. 1 to 4.

As mentioned above, the pop-up toy 5 has a front housing 2.
established in

That is, a large hole is provided in the front housing 2, and the pop-up toy 5 is provided in the hole.

As clearly shown in FIG. 2, a receiving portion 27 having a U-shaped cross section is formed in the front housing 2.
An insertion portion 26 that protrudes downward from the lower edge of the pop-up toy 5 is inserted into the pop-up toy 7 .

On the other hand, the rear part of the pop-up toy 5 is fastened to the front housing 2 by screws 28, and the pop-up toy 5 is fixed to the front housing 2.

Next, a more detailed configuration of the pop-up toy 5 will be described.

As shown in FIG. 1, the pop-up toy 5 is provided with a pair of firing levers 14, 14 as firing operating means.

This firing lever 14 has a shaft 2, as shown in FIG.
It is rotatably held by 5.

A hole 35 for inserting a leaf spring receiver is formed in the lower part of the firing lever 14.

Further, a recess 36 is formed in the inner wall of the gun barrel 13, facing the lower end of the firing lever 14.

These leaf spring receivers have insert holes 35 and recesses 36 to hold the leaf springs 32.
is retained.

In addition, the plate spring receiver is provided with receiving metal fittings 33 and 34 on the ceiling of the insertion hole 35 and the bottom of the recess 36, respectively, so as to be in contact with both ends of the plate spring 32.

These metal fittings 33 and 34 are for reinforcing the surface that receives the leaf spring 32.

As best shown in FIG. 2, the leaf spring 32 is held in an arched state.

Therefore, the firing lever 14 is always biased in the direction opposite to the direction of arrow B by the resilient force of the leaf spring 32 and is maintained in a neutral state.

A pair of stoppers 37, 37 are formed on the lower inner wall of the gun barrel 13.

These stoppers 37, 37 are used to abut the loaded pseudo bullet 29 from behind and position the pseudo bullet 29 so as not to contact the leaf spring 32 before the firing operation.

Next, a manner of loading the pseudo bullet 29 into the pop-up toy 5 will be described.

Incidentally, as the pseudo bullet 29, for example, a Bing Pong ball is used. Bing Pong balls have the advantage of being safe and easily available.

As shown in FIG. 4, the pseudo bullet 29 inserted through the insertion hole 12 is guided by the guide path 15 in front of the leaf spring 32, that is, into the effective elastic force region of the leaf spring 32.

At this time, as described above, the pseudo bullet 29 is spaced from the leaf spring 32 by the pair of stoppers 37, 37.

In addition, in Figure 4, three pseudo bullets 29.29.29
It is constructed so that it can be loaded with.

However, it may be configured so that more pseudo bullets 29 can be loaded, or conversely, it may be configured so that only one or two pseudo bullets 29 can be loaded.

Next, the firing operation of the pop-up toy 5 will be explained.

First, the pseudo bullet 29 is loaded from the insertion hole 12 in the manner described above, and the firing lever 14 is rotated in the direction of arrow B. Then, the distance between the two ends of the leaf spring 32 is shortened, and the rear end of the lower end of the firing lever 14 is rotated. The curved state elastically changes to the state shown by the two-dot chain line in FIG.

At this time, the leaf spring 32
9, the pseudo bullet 29 is pushed out strongly in the direction of arrow C, and after its trajectory is regulated by a predetermined length within the cannon barrel 13, it is fired from the cannon barrel 13.

The pseudo bullet loaded as described above is spaced apart from the leaf spring 32 by one pair of stoppers 37.

Therefore, the instantaneous impact force between the leaf spring 32 and the pseudo bullet 29 increases, and the pseudo bullet 29 is ejected from the gun barrel 13 with great force.

After the pseudo bullet 29 is fired, if the force applied to the firing lever 14 is released, the firing lever 14 returns to the state before the firing operation due to the elastic force of the leaf spring 35.

Therefore, after firing the pseudo bullet 29, the firing lever 14
You can fire the next shot just by letting go.

As explained above, in the children's vehicles in the embodiments shown in FIGS. 1 to 4, the child not only enjoys riding on the seat 4 and kicking the ground, but also allows the child to shoot the pseudo bullets 29. It's fun and can attract children's interest even more.

Moreover, if children's vehicles such as those described above are sold in combination with targets, children's interest can be further attracted.

This is because children not only enjoy simply firing a pseudo-bullet such as a ping pong ball, but also enjoy hitting a target.

In the above-described embodiment, the pop-up toy 5 is provided in the front part of the vehicle body 1, that is, in the front housing 2, but it may also be provided, for example, on the side of the remaining part 3 of the vehicle body 1. It is not restricted to the front of the vehicle.

Further, in the above-described embodiment, the pop-up toy 5 and the front housing 2 are constructed as separate members.

The mode of division may be as long as it is convenient for molding, and is not restricted to the mode of the above-mentioned embodiments.

Furthermore, depending on the molding technique, the pop-up toy 5 and the front housing 2 may be constructed integrally.

Further, in the above-described embodiment, the use of a Bing Pong ball as the pseudo bullet 29 has been described, but other types may be used instead.

For example, a soft plastic made to resemble a cannonball may be used.

As described above, according to this invention, since a pop-up toy is provided in a children's vehicle, it is possible to add a completely different function to the child's vehicle, in addition to the function of running astride, which is originally a child's vehicle. It can attract children's interest even more than vehicles.

Moreover, the pseudo bullet forms a gap with the leaf spring while contacting the stopper.

Therefore, when the firing lever is rotated and the curved state of the leaf spring is reversed, the leaf spring comes into contact with the pseudo-bullet, so the instantaneous impact force between the leaf spring and the pseudo-bullet increases, and the pseudo-bullet is It will be ejected from the tube with great force.

It should also be noted that the leaf spring has three functions.

That is, the first function is to maintain the firing lever in the neutral state, the second function is to repel the pseudo bullet, and the third function is to maintain the firing lever in the original neutral state. According to the third function in particular, which is a function to return to normal, after firing a pseudo bullet, simply releasing the firing lever allows the next firing.
