Description

[Detailed description of the invention] This invention is suitable for trains, buses, etc., where the door piece for opening and closing the entrance is activated by the operation of a push button, etc.
Regarding toy vehicles such as airplanes, in particular, vehicles that allow users to enjoy the fun of controlling automatic doors with their own hands by operating push buttons, etc., as well as enjoy the action of opening and closing the doors by switching to the left and right sides. The goal is to provide toys.

Next, this invention will be explained with reference to illustrated embodiments.

FIGS. 1 and 2 show a toy train which is an embodiment of this invention, with the door in a closed state and an open state. Hollow toy housing imitating the shape of a train 1
has an opening 2 as an entrance/exit at a predetermined position, and each opening 2 has two double door pieces 3,
It is designed to be opened and closed by 3'. In the figure, 4 and 4' are push buttons for opening and closing the door pieces 3 and 3'. In the figure, 5 is a running wheel, and 6 is a coupler. 30 in the figure is a clutch lever that switches the mechanism for opening and closing the door pieces 3, 3' using the push buttons 4, 4'; this swings in the direction of the arrow; Only the door pieces 3, 3' of the entrance/exit on either side (left or right side in the direction of train movement) can be opened/closed.

3 and 4 show details of the opening/closing mechanism of the door pieces 3, 3' using the push buttons 4, 4' and the switching mechanism using the clutch lever 30.

The door pieces 3, 3', each having a vertically long rectangular plate shape, are divided into left and right sides of the toy housing 1 in the train traveling direction, and are integrally formed with a common connecting member 7, 7', respectively. It is designed to be opened and closed. That is, one of the two door pieces 3 forming a pair is formed integrally with the lower connecting member 7, the other door piece 3' is formed integrally with the upper connecting member 7', and the upper and lower two door pieces 3' are formed integrally with the upper connecting member 7'. The connecting members 7, 7' are arranged along the guides 19, 20 in the longitudinal direction of the inner surface of the toy housing 1, and the connecting ends 7a, 7' on the left side in FIG.
The pins 8, 8' of 7a' are connected to the upper and lower ends of the elongated plate-shaped crank lever 9, so that the edges of the pair of door pieces 3, 3' touch each other at the position of each opening 2. It is designed to open and close depending on the contact.

At the end of the shaft 9a located in the center of the crank lever 9, a clutch pawl 9b is formed by obliquely cutting approximately 1/2 the circumference. The crank lever 9 has a shaft 9a that is rotatable relative to a support shaft 10. A floating shaft 12 is installed on the support shaft 10 so as to be rotatable and movable in the axial direction. A crank lever 9 is provided at both ends of the floating shaft 12.
Approximately so that it meshes with the clutch pawl 9b of the shaft 9a.
Clutch pawl 12a shaped like 1/2 circumference cut diagonally
is formed.

The floating shaft 12 has two cranks 11 and 11' that protrude in opposite directions with a rotation angle of about 180 degrees apart, and the lower ends of the opening/closing levers 13 and 13' are fully aligned in the axial direction of the floating shaft 12. They are connected by long pins 14, 14. Push buttons 4, 4' are attached to the upper ends of the opening/closing levers 13, 13' via springs 15, 15, and the push buttons 4, 4' protrude from the ceiling wall of the toy housing 1 so as to be able to rise and fall as shown in FIG.

In the figure, reference numerals 16 and 16 are biasing springs that hold the door pieces 3 and 3' in the open and closed positions, respectively. The end is fixed to a machine frame 21 fixed within the toy housing 1. Idle shaft 12
In the center part, there is a small diameter part 1 whose diameter is reduced in steps.
2b and a U-shaped notch 31a into which the small diameter portion 12b is fitted, the clutch yoke 31 is connected to the rotation shaft 32.
The rotating shaft 32 is rotatably installed on the machine frame 21, and the clutch lever 30 is fixed to the rotating shaft 32, and the clutch lever 30 is swung in the direction of the arrow and rotated to either side. By tilting it down, the floating shaft 12 can be moved in the axial direction on the support shaft 10 and the clutch can be switched.

Next, the method of use and function of the above train toy will be explained.

This electric train toy can be played by placing the running wheels 5, 5 on a track laid in advance or by running it on a floor without a track in the same way as a normal vehicle toy (running toy). Therefore, this toy train can be equipped with a power unit, which increases the fun of running and playing with it.

Moreover, on the other hand, the clutch lever 30
Tilt it to either the left or right side. Then, the floating shaft 12 slides on the support shaft 10 via the clutch yoke 31 and moves in the axial direction, and the clutch pawl 12a formed at the front end in the direction of movement engages the shaft 9a of the crank lever 9 facing it. It meshes with the formed clutch pawl 9b (left side in Figure 4). After that, when push buttons 4 and 4' are pressed alternately, the clutch pawls 9b and 12
A pair of door pieces 3 and 3' of the system subordinate to the crank lever 9 on the side in which a is engaged open and close in common, allowing the user to experience the opening and closing of automatic doors at the entrances and exits of an actual train.

When the clutch lever 30 is raised almost vertically, the floating shaft 12 is moved by the clutch pawls 12a, 12 at both ends thereof.
a is the clutch pawl 9b of which crank lever 9
It becomes a neutral position where there is no meshing with the push button 4,
Even if 4' is pressed, doors 3 and 3' do not open or close. Push the clutch lever 30 to the opposite side and press the push button 4.
When 4' is pressed, the door pieces 3 and 3' of the system dependent on the crank lever 9 on the opposite side open and close, respectively. Therefore, the user can experience the opening and closing of automatic doors when the boarding/exit changes to the right or left side of the train's traveling direction in an actual train.

Note that in the above embodiment, one opening 2
Although this is shown for the case where the pair of door pieces 3, 3' open and close in a double-opening manner, this is not the case. For example, it can easily be made into a single-opening type. 1 for that
This can be done by removing either the upper or lower connecting member connected to the crank lever 9 and the door piece integrated therewith, and forming the remaining door piece of the connecting member into the size and shape of the opening described. .

The structure and operation of this invention are as explained above. According to this invention, automatic doors of trains and other types of vehicle toys that have opening/closing doors can be freely controlled by one's own hands by operating push buttons, etc. You can enjoy the fun of playing by switching the clutch lever to open and close the opening door, for example, to the right or left side in the direction of travel of the toy vehicle. , its operation is similar to a real vehicle such as a train, which can attract children's interest.
