Description

[Detailed description of the invention] This invention depicts a car on a transparent endless belt, wraps it around a drum, moves it, and moves it in a direction perpendicular to the direction of movement of the endless belt by operating a handle. When the simulated car and the car drawn on the endless belt collide when viewed from a plane, a light emitter is emitted to notify the collision, the movement of the endless belt is stopped, and the number of collisions is determined as the light emission stops and the endless belt moves. This invention relates to a simulated car operation toy that operates a counter that indicates the following.

Conventionally, this type of simulated car control toy was
For example, there is a driving game as described in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 54-92435. This allows each belt to change its speed and direction of movement, and also temporarily changes the interlocking of the gears between the motor side and the belt support pulley side when the picture board overlaps the picture of the belt. In addition, it is configured to be able to temporarily cut off the interlocking gears between the counter side, which indicates the total moving distance of the belt, and the motor side. Therefore, a large number of gears are required, and these gears mesh in a complicated manner, resulting in a very complicated configuration and difficulty in ensuring smooth operation.
There were some drawbacks that made it easy to break down. Additionally, there was no counter provided to indicate the number of times the picture board overlapped (collided with) the picture on the belt, making it difficult to know the number of collisions during play.

Therefore, the present invention has been devised for the purpose of solving the above-mentioned difficulties.

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

In the control toy of the present invention, two shafts 3 and 4 parallel to each other in the left-right direction are arranged in parallel in the front and rear of a machine frame 2 fixed in a case 1. Two separate drums 5, 6, 7, 8 are attached to each of these two shafts 3, 4, and among these drums 5, 6, 7, 8, the left drum 5, 6 is attached. The right drums 7 and 8 are fixed to each shaft 3 and 4, respectively, and are rotatably attached to each shaft 3 and 4, respectively. The rear left drum 5, the front left drum 6, the rear right drum 7, and the front right drum 8 each include:
Transparent endless belts 9 and 10 depicting automobiles 11 and 12 are wrapped around each other, and these endless belts 9,
10 is provided with the same number of cutouts 13 and 14 as the drawn cars 11 and 12 so as to be at the same passing position in the moving direction of the endless belts 9 and 10.

A gear 15 is fixed to the rear shaft 3, and a gear 16 having a different number of teeth from the gear 15 is fixed to the boss 17 of the rear right drum 7, and is parallel to the rear shaft 3 and rotates and slides. Gears 15 and 1 having different numbers of teeth are mounted on a forced rotation shaft 18 that is movably attached to the machine frame 2.
Small gears 19 and 20 meshing with the gears 6 are fixed respectively. This forced rotation shaft 18 is connected to a motor 47 for rotation, and a cam 2 connected to the base end of a lever 23 that can be operated from outside the case 1.
2, it is caused to slide in the left-right direction against the elastic force of a spring 21 compressed on the forced rotation shaft 18. By the way, when the forced rotation shaft 18 slides to the left, the gear 15 of the rear shaft 3 and the small gear 19 are kept in mesh with each other, and the rear right drum 7 is moved.
The meshing state between the gear 16 and the small gear 20 is released, and only the right endless belt 10 stops, and when the forced rotation shaft 18 slides to the right, the gear 15 of the rear shaft 3 and the small gear 19, and the gear 16 and small gear 20 of the rear right drum 7 are in mesh with each other, and the right endless belt 10 and the left endless belt 9 move at different speeds according to the difference in the number of teeth. Further, between the front drums 6, 8 and the rear drums 5, 7, a light emitting body 25, such as a light bulb, is provided in a housing part 24 integrated with the machine frame 2, and the two rows of endless belts 9,

A recessed portion 29 is provided at the bottom of the belt 4 in a portion facing one end of the driven portions 26, 27, and when one end of the driven portions 26, 27 faces the cutout portions 13, 14 of the endless belts 9, 10, this one end Near the other end of the driven parts 26, 27, the driven parts 26, 2 move together with a simulated car 31 that slides in the left and right direction in conjunction with the handle 30.
When the other end of 7 is placed, driven parts 26 and 27
One end is the cutout part 13, 14 of the endless belt 9, 10
The mounting parts 32 and 3 prevent one end of the driven parts 26 and 27 from entering the recessed part 29 even when facing the mounting parts 32 and 3.
3, one mounting section 32 and the other mounting section 33.
A gap 34 that does not support the other ends of the driven parts 26 and 27 is provided between the The other end is positioned in the cavity 34 portion, and when the other end of the other driven part 27 is located on the other mounting part 33, the other driven part 27
The other end is positioned in the cavity 34 portion, and the other ends of the driven parts 26 and 27 press against the placing parts 32 and 33 and the lower part of the cavity 34 to operate, and the light emitting body 25 is energized. At the same time, a switch 35 is provided to cut off power to the motor 47.

This switch 35 is made of an electrical insulator such as plastic for the parts other than the contact piece at the tip, and when the switch 35 is pressed by the driven parts 26 and 27 as shown in FIG. 4 (ON state), By interposing the insulator portion between the contact pieces, the light emitting body 25 is energized, and the motor 47 that forcibly rotates the small gears 19 and 20 is stopped, and the endless belt 9 is stopped. , 10 stops. In addition, switch 35
is made swingable by a shaft 36, and is pulled by a spring 37 to ensure operation so that the center point passes through the center of the shaft 36 when swinging. To change the ON state of this switch 35 to the OFF state, case 1
The switch 3 is pressed with a pusher 38 that partially protrudes outside the switch 3.
This can be done by pressing the opposite side of the part where the contact piece is provided, with the shaft 36 of 5 as a boundary, and the ratchet wheel 40 is
By rotating the drum-shaped counter 41 integrally with the ratchet wheel 40 intermittently, the counter 41 is activated every time the light-emitting body 25 is turned off.

42 is a spring that constantly presses the presser 38 upward; 43 is a pin protruding from the counter 41;
When the counter 41 rotates once, the base switch 44 is forcibly activated to flip up, thereby releasing the state in which the contact pieces 45 and 46 are in contact with each other. 48 is a wiring, and 49 is a power supply, but the wiring and the like are not limited to the illustrated embodiment. 50 is a small gear fixed to the shaft 4 to which the drums 6 and 8 are attached, and the gear 5 has a pin 52 fixed to this small gear 50.
1 are engaged and the ratchet wheel 53 is intermittently rotated by the pin 52 to rotate the counter wheel 54, thereby making it possible to know the rotation of the drum 6, that is, the moving distance of the endless belt 9. Reference numeral 55 denotes a friction wheel that presses against the drums 5 and 7 via endless belts 9 and 10. By making the portions of the drums 5 and 7 that are pressed by the friction wheel 55 from a material with high frictional resistance, such as rubber, Even if looseness occurs between the drums 5, 6, 7, 8 and the endless belts 9, 10 wound around them, the rotation of the drums 5, 7 will loosen the endless belts 9, 1.
0 can be reliably moved. A spring 56 biases the friction wheel 55 against the drums 5 and 7.

By the way, in the embodiment described above, the endless belts 9 and 10 are divided into two, the left and right endless belts 9 and 10 move at different speeds, and the right endless belt 10 can stop its movement. However, the present invention is not limited to a case where the endless belts 9, 10 are separated into two rows, but two rows of drawn cars 11, 12 and two rows of cutouts 13, 14 are arranged on one endless belt. It may be a set-up. In this case, there are two endless belts, and there is no need to change the speed or stop one of them, so the structure is simpler and can be provided at a lower cost than in the embodiment.

According to the embodiment described above, when the base switch 44 is actuated and turned ON, the contact piece 45 and the contact piece 46 come into contact, energizing the motor 47, and the motor 4
7 rotates, the endless belt 9 on the left side is wound around the drum 5 on the left side, and then the drum 5 on the left side is forcibly rotated by the small gear 19 and the gear 15 via the gear group from the motor 47. After the right endless belt 10 is wound around the right drum 7, the right drum 7 is moved to the rear left by a combination of a small gear 20 having more teeth than the small gear 19 and a gear 16 having fewer teeth than the gear 15. Since the endless belt 9 on the left side and the endless belt 10 on the right side rotate at a faster speed than the drum 5, there is a difference in moving speed.

When the simulated car 31 is moved using the handle 30 while the endless belts 9 and 10 are moving, the other ends of the driven parts 26 and 27 are placed in conjunction with the simulated car 31, and the driven parts 26 and 27 are moved. Even when one end faces the cutouts 13, 14 of the endless belts 9, 10, the mounting parts 32, 33 that prevent the one end from sinking into the recess 29 also move, thereby preventing the simulated automobile from moving. Cars 11 and 12 depicting the movements of 31
By not making contact with the endless belts 9 and 10, the movement of the endless belts 9 and 10 can be continued without causing the light emitters 25 to emit light, and when the simulated car 31 and the cars 11 and 12 drawn on the endless belts 9 and 10 overlap,
Since the other end of the driven parts 26, 27 is not located on the placing parts 32, 33, the driven parts 26, 2
When one end of 7 faces the cutout portions 13 and 14, this one end enters the recess 29 due to the compressive force of the elastic body 28, whereby the other end of the driven portion 26 and 27 presses the switch 35 and emits light. The body 25 is made to emit light. At this time, the current flowing to the motor 47 flows to the light emitting body 25, and the current to the motor 47 is cut off, so that the endless belts 9 and 10 come to stop. In this case, open the switch 35 and
When the power supply to the motor 5 is stopped, the power is supplied to the motor 47, and the motor 47 resumes rotation. In addition, the luminous body 2
The structure for stopping the motor 47 at the same time as the light emission of 5 may be achieved by using other wiring.

Also, when this switch 35 is opened, the counter 4
1 moves by one scale, and the number of times that the simulated car 31 and the cars 11 and 12 depicted on the endless belts 9 and 10 overlapped (collided) is displayed. In the embodiment described above, even if the lever 23 is operated from outside the case 1 to disengage the pinion 20 and the gear 16, the pinion 19 and the gear 15 continue to be meshed, so that the right side stop the movement of the endless belt 10,
Only the left endless belt 9 can be moved, and the game can be played by moving the simulated car 31 from the right endless belt 10 side in a stopped state to the left endless belt 9 side in a moving state.

Therefore, in the present invention, transparent endless belts 9, 10 depicting automobiles 11, 12 are wound around the drums 5, 6, 7, 8 arranged in parallel inside the case 1. Depicted car 11,1
2 and the same number of cutouts 13, 14 are provided, and these cutouts 13, 14 and the drawn cars 11, 12 are formed into two rows, respectively, and the front drums 5, 7 around which the endless belts 9, 10 are wound, and the rear drums 5, 7, on which the endless belts 9, 10 are wound. A light emitter 25 is arranged between the drums 6 and 8, and two rows of endless belts 9 and 1
In the portions through which the cutouts 13 and 14 of
7 are pressed against each other by the elastic force of the elastic body 28, and near the other ends of the driven parts 26 and 27, there is an actuating part that moves together with the simulated car 31 that is moved by the handle 30. Some driven parts 26, 27
When the other end of the driven parts 26, 27 is placed and one end of the driven parts 26, 27 faces the cutouts 13, 14 of the endless belts 9, 10, one end of the driven parts 26, 27 is placed in the cutout part 1.
3 and 14 so as not to enter the inside of the mounting section 3
2, 33 are provided, and these placing parts 32, 33 can place only the other ends of one or the other of the two driven parts 26, 27 depending on their positions.
Below the other end of 27 is one or the other driven part 2.
A strip-shaped switch 35 is provided, which is activated by being pressed when the other end of 6, 27 is lowered without being placed on the placing parts 32, 33, and energizes the light emitting body 25. The parts other than the contact piece at the tip are formed of an electrical insulator such as plastic, and swing around the shaft 36, and when the switch 35 is pressed by the driven parts 26 and 27, the insulator The switch 3 is operated by a pusher 38 whose part is interposed between the contact pieces to cut off the power to the motor 47 and whose part protrudes outside the case 1.
5, the side opposite to the part where the contact piece is provided can be pressed, and the ratchet 40 is rotated by one tooth with the hanging pawl 39 integrated with the presser 38, and the ratchet 40 is rotated by one tooth.
By intermittently rotating a drum-shaped counter 41 that is integrated with the counter 41, the counter 41 is activated each time the light emitter 25 is turned off. Cars 11 and 12 depicted in 9 and 10
When the two overlap (collide), the light emitter 2
5 emits light and the motor 47 stops, the game can be automatically stopped, and this stopped state can be easily canceled by pressing the pusher 38. Moreover, when restarting the simulated driving, the counter 41 indicating the number of collisions is activated and the counter 41 continuously displays the number of restarted driving (number of collisions), so the competition is based on the lowest number of restarted driving (number of collisions). This type of control toy is extremely interesting. Further, the configuration itself can be made very simple with few components, and the occurrence of failures and uncertain operations can be prevented.

Furthermore, the car 1 drawn on the endless belts 9 and 10
1 and 12 and the simulated car 31 connected to the handlebar 30 overlap, the light emitter 25 is energized and emits light, and the power to the motor 47 is automatically cut off and the motor 47 can be stopped.

By operating the lever 23, the right endless belt 10 can be stopped or moved, and its structure is simple and difficult to break down, and reliable operation can be expected, and it is even more interesting. It becomes a rich maneuverable toy.
