DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION 3.2 Field of Industrial Application This invention relates to a running toy that deforms while running using a mainspring.

PRIOR ART AND ITS DISADVANTAGES Conventional running toys that use a spring as a driving source accumulate energy by winding up the spring, and start running as soon as the user releases the hand. Therefore, after winding up the mainspring, it is not possible to start the doll after other tasks such as getting on and off the doll, loading and unloading the doll, and so on.
Traveling toys cannot be expected to be effective in learning by simulating how a car is actually used.

Technical Problems to be Solved In view of the above points, this invention solves the following problems after winding the mainspring:
A deformable running toy that restricts starting while the moving toy is released and performs other actions, starts moving when the action is completed, and changes shape after traveling a certain distance. This is what we are trying to provide.

3.2 Configuration Problem Solving Means In order to solve the above problem, in this invention, a. The mainspring drive unit, which is the traveling power source, moves in a fixed direction when inputting to the mainspring, and moves in the opposite direction during constant rotation during output. It is equipped with a moving actuation pin.

b. It is attached so as to be swingable and is biased in a certain direction, and one end engages with the output gear of the mainspring drive unit to stop the output, and when it swings against the bias, it stops meshing with the gear. A rotation stop lever is provided which releases to allow output.

It is biased to unfold by the C1 spring, is locked in a folded state, has a certain shape, is released from the lock by movement of the operating pin, and unfolds by the biasing force, and changes to another shape. It has a deformed part.

d. When an external force is applied as a constant motion to the toy body,
An operating member is provided for swinging the rotation stop lever.

When the operating wheel is reversed (pullback) and the mainspring is wound up, the operating pin moves in a fixed direction. When no force is applied to the operating member, the rotation stop lever engages with the gear of the mainspring drive unit and stops the output, so the traveling toy does not start.

Therefore, it is possible to load and unload cargo, and to get on and off dolls, etc., without having to take one's hands off the traveling toy. Thereafter, when the operating member is operated, the rotation stop lever is disengaged from the gear, so the spring drive unit outputs an output and the traveling toy starts moving.

Then, during constant rotation, the operating pin moves and the deformable portion is unlocked, so that the traveling toy unfolds and changes into another form and continues to travel.

Examples of this invention Next, one embodiment of the present invention will be described based on the drawings.

As shown in FIG. 1, the running toy is formed in the form of a wagon-type automobile, including a body part A and a chassis part B.

The body portion A has a loading space that opens on the rear end surface, and has a second loading space.
As shown in the figure, it is divided into an upper half 1 and a lower half 2, and the upper half is divided into left and right side parts 11.1r and a central part 1c. The side portions are formed symmetrically, giving the appearance of having a windshield, roof, side glass, and rear glass on the front, top, side, and rear surfaces, respectively, and have an appropriate thickness.

On the other hand, the lower half part 2 is formed into a platform shape with an opening on the lower surface, and has wheel fitting notches 12, . 13, and a loading recess 14 that opens upward and rearward in the center of the rear half.
is the provision. In addition, a cylinder 15 is formed at the upper side of the side, and forms a hinge between the cylinders 6 on the side of the upper half. By inserting the side portion 11. lr is lower half 2
It is rotatably connected between a state in which it is in contact with the top surface of the device and a state in which it is tipped over and hanging down from the side surface of the device.

Furthermore, a pair of bearings 16 is protruded from the center of the upper surface of the lower half, between which the cylinder 10 of the connecting plate 8 is rotatably connected by a pin 17, and the connecting plate is always attached to the front by a spring 18. The upper end hook 20 of the spring-like locking piece 19 provided on the lower side of the front half of the lower half part 2 is projected upward from the hole 21 provided in the upper surface of the lower half part 2 behind the protrusion 11. ,
Forced forward. In this way, when the central portion 1c is moved rearward, as shown in FIG.
1 rotates downward, moves the hook 20 of the locking piece 19 slightly backwards, and after passing the hook 20, is locked by the tool 2.

A transmission piece 22 is attached to a fixed wall 23 on the lower side of the front half of the lower half 2.
and the locking piece 19 so as to be movable back and forth, the rear end of the transmission piece is locked to the protrusion 24 of the locking piece 19, and the front end is connected to the protrusion 25 provided thereon and the front end of the lower half. A spring 27 stretched between protrusions 26 provided on the lower surface allows the movement of the moving piece 2
2 is always biased forward. The transmission piece integrally has a plate-shaped horizontal part 22a parallel to the upper surface of the lower half, and a plate-shaped vertical part 22b extending downward from the side of the horizontal part, and the vertical part has a notch 28 that opens forward. It is a provision.

The chassis part B supports an axle 30 with a rear wheel 29 attached to the rear part of the upper surface, and protrusions 3 extending upward on both left and right sides of the center part.
1, a gun machine 33 having a gun barrel 32 extending forward is attached to the protrusion so that it can be raised and lowered from above, and an internal spring 3 is installed.
4, it is constantly biased upward. Further, a mainspring drive unit 35 is provided at the center of the front part of the chassis. The output shaft of this drive unit is extended to the left, right, front and outside, and the axle 3
6, and a front wheel 37 is attached to the end of the axle.

The mainspring drive unit 35 is a known device that winds up a mainspring by reversing the wheel 37 and inputs the input, and outputs from the mainspring 38 by releasing the wheel 37 to rotate the wheel. and a gear train that outputs from the mainspring to the axle, and at the time of input, the rotation of one gear G1 of the gear train moves the horizontally long hole 40 provided on the side of the case toward one end, and the rotation of said one gear at the time of output. It has an actuating pin 41 that is moved within the horizontally elongated hole 40 toward the other end.

In a preferred embodiment, the gear train has a high-speed output system Gh and a low-speed output system Gl, and while the operating pin 41 moves from one end of the horizontally elongated hole 40 to near the other end, the rack rod 42 having the operating pin and the lever Since the switching gear 44 links the high-speed output system to the low-speed output system via 43, the output from the mainspring 38 is transmitted to the axle 36 via the low-speed output system GL.
When the operating pin 41 reaches the other end of the oblong hole 40 due to the rotation of the gear Gl, the lever 43 separates the switching gear 44 from the low-speed output system and releases the high-speed output system, so the output from the mainspring 38 becomes high-speed. Axle 36 via output system Gh
It is configured so that the power is transmitted to the

The lever 43 is swingably supported by a fulcrum 43a, and a pin 42a provided at the other end of the rack rod 42 is movably fitted into a long hole 43c of an arm 43b extending toward the actuating pin 41 slightly above the fulcrum. A shaft of a switching gear 44 is rotatably supported at the upper end of the lever, and the shaft is slidably inserted into an arcuate groove 45 provided in the case 37.

When the gear G1 is rotated counterclockwise in FIG. 7 by the pull pack and the rack rod 42 and therefore the operating pin 41 are moved to the left, the shaft of the switching gear 44 is moved to the lower end of the groove 45 by the lever 43. To do this, a switching gear 44 links the high speed output system to the low speed output system. On the other hand, when output is generated from the mainspring to rotate the wheel 37, the clockwise rotation of the gear G1 causes the rack rod 42 to move to the right, and when the wheel rotates at a constant rate, that is, the pin 42a hits the lever 43. In order to rotate the switching gear 44 and move the switching gear 44 to the upper end of the groove 45, the low-speed output system and the high-speed output system are disengaged. Therefore, the wheels are subsequently rotated at high speed.

That is, until the operating pin 41 reaches the other end of the elongated hole 40, the vehicle travels at low speed, and when the operating pin reaches the other end of the elongated hole after a certain rotation, the vehicle changes to high speed travel.

A rotation stop lever 46 is freely movably supported in front of the fitting recess 14 of the lower half 2 at an intermediate fulcrum. This lever has its front end opposed to one gear G2 of the gear train of the mainspring drive unit 35, is biased by a spring 47, and meshes with the gear. 14 and has a taper 48 at the rear end.

At the bottom of the loading recess 14, an operating member 49 is held by guide grooves 50 provided on both sides of the bottom of the loading recess so that the operating member 49 can move back and forth and be freely removed.When pulled out rearward from the back of the body, it tilts downward. The lower end will touch the ground and become a gangplank, and the
; It is possible to load or unload the vehicle into the loading space by pushing and rolling a motorcycle, etc. on the top surface of the vehicle. Alternatively, the operating member may be formed in the shape of a ramp, on which the doll can be moved to get on and off the platform.

When the operating member 49 is inserted into the loading recess 14, that is, into the body A, and pushed to a predetermined position, its front end presses down the rear end of the rotation stop lever 46, causing the lever to swing. As a result, the rack portion 46a provided at the front end of the lever is released from the gear G2 and is fixed in that state.

The chassis part B having the above structure is inserted from the lower side of the lower half of the body part A through the elongated convex-shaped holes 51 provided on both left and right sides of the front half of the lower half of the gun barrel and projects upward. At the same time, the mainspring drive unit is fitted into the recess in the front part of the lower half, and the first operating pin 41 is inserted into the notch 28 of the transmission piece 22, and the body part A and the chassis part B are connected.

and side portion 11. 1c is raised, the gun machine 33 and gun barrel 32 are housed in the lower half by making contact with the upper surface of the lower half, and the central part 1c
is moved rearward between both sides, the protrusion 7 is fitted into the notch 4, and the protrusion 5 is locked. A locking piece 11 of the connecting plate 8 is secured with a hook 20.

Due to the above configuration, when using this traveling toy,
With the body part A folded as shown in Fig. 1, the wheel 2
9. Press 37 against the running surface, move it back and forth several times and pull it back to wind up the mainspring, and pull out the operating member 49 backwards. This causes the collar 46a at the front end of the rotation stop lever 46 to close to the mainspring. Since it meshes with the gear G2 of the drive unit, the rotation of the wheel 37 is stopped. Therefore,
The running toy does not start even if you take your hand off it, so that a motorcycle toy or the like 52 is placed on the gangplank of the operating member 49, or a doll or the like is stored in the loading space of the running toy from the gangway,
Alternatively, if the operating member is inserted into the toy again after the task of unloading it from the toy, the lever 46 is rotated and the rack part 46a is separated from the gear G2 of the mainspring drive unit and locked thereto. Since it will be canceled,
The output is allowed, the wheels 37 rotate, and the vehicle starts moving. Initially, the switching gear 44 is linked to the low-speed output system, so the traveling toy runs at low speed.

As a result, the rack rod 42 moves to the right due to the rotation of the gear G1, and when the wheel rotates a certain amount, that is, when the wheel travels a certain distance, the rack rod 42 causes the operating pin 41 to reach the other end of the horizontally elongated hole 40, causing the transmission piece 22 to move backward. In order to move the locking member 1 to
9 is moved rearward, and the hook 20 releases the lock from the locking piece 11. Therefore, via the connecting piece 8 biased by the spring 18, the central portion 1c of the upper half of the body A moves forward, and the side portion 11. To separate from the lr, the sides rotate outward under the force of the springs 34 of the gun 33 and hang down on the sides of the lower half, exposing a caterpillar pattern on the sides. At the same time, the gun machine 33 and the gun barrel 32 protrude upward.

In this way, when traveling a certain distance, the form of the wagon changes to that of a tank.

In addition, when traveling a certain distance, the rack rod 42 and lever 43
Since the switching gear 44 is moved by the action of , the low-speed output system is separated from the high-speed output system, so that the wheels are rotated at high speed. That is, a traveling toy that was traveling at a low speed changes its shape and changes its traveling speed while traveling.

3.3 Effects As described above, according to the present invention, the main body of the toy is provided with a mainspring drive unit having an operating pin that is moved during constant rotation of the output shaft for rotating the wheel, and the output gear of the mainspring drive unit is A rotary stop lever is swingably provided to stop the output by being press-locked at all times, and a deformable portion is provided which is released from the lock by movement of the operating pin and is expanded and deformed by a spring force. The toy main body is provided with an operating member that swings the rotation stop lever to release the engagement with the output gear when an external force is applied, so that after winding up the mainspring, you can take your hand off the running toy and perform other operations. While doing so, the vehicle will start, and when the motion is finished, it will start, and when it has traveled a certain distance, it will be able to change its form, expressing the same driving behavior as a real car. Not only can you enjoy the game, but you can also expect learning effects from the simulated experience.
