Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] (Industrial Application Field) The present invention relates to a toy running path that is a curved portion of a running path on which a traveling toy having a drive mechanism runs.

(Prior art and its problems) In general, a synthetic resin toy running path is constructed by forming guide walls on both sides of the running section.
It consists of a straight course part and a curved part, but the speed of modern running toys with drive mechanisms such as springs is very high, so if the curved part is horizontal, the toy will be moved by centrifugal force. It ends up flying out of the way. For this reason,
The running path at the curved portion must be sloped to form a bank.

By the way, such a curved portion must be formed so that the slope of the starting and ending portions of the curve connected to the straight course and the central portion of the curve are different, as in the case of an actual racing course. In other words, the starting and ending parts of the curve connect directly to the horizontal course, so the inclination of the running surface must be small, and the central part of the curve must have the largest inclination, and only then can the running toy run smoothly. can run on.

However, although the guide walls on both the inner and outer sides of the running section are formed approximately at right angles to the surface of the running section, looking at the inclination angle of the guide walls with respect to the floor surface (the floor surface on which the running path is placed), This will be different between both ends and the center of the running section. In other words, the guide wall is nearly vertical at both ends of the running section, and gradually becomes more inclined as it approaches the center. Therefore, if such a complicated running path is to be integrally molded using synthetic resin, a complicated mold will be required, which has the drawback of increasing production costs.

(Purpose of the invention) The present invention solves the above-mentioned drawbacks, and provides a toy running track that can form banks especially on curves and can be formed at low cost without using complicated molds. That purpose.

(Means for Achieving the Object) In order to achieve the above object, the toy running track according to the present invention is provided for a running toy having a drive mechanism, and is characterized by having the following requirements.

(a) The running path includes a running path main body formed by integrally forming an inner guide wall along the inside of a curved long and thin plate-shaped running section, and a running path main body formed separately from the running path main body, and the above-mentioned running path. It is formed by integrally joining an outer guide wall body attached to the outer edge of the channel to form an outer guide wall.

(b) The outer guide wall and the inner guide wall are formed approximately at right angles to the surface of the running section.

(c) The ends and center of the running section have different inclination angles with respect to the floor surface on which the running path is placed.

(Example) Hereinafter, an example of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

In FIG. 1, reference numeral A indicates a toy running path.
This running path A is used as a floor surface for running a running toy having a drive mechanism, and an inner guide wall 5 is integrally formed on the inner edge of the running part 2 in the shape of a curved long thin plate. The running path body 1 is composed of a running path main body 1, and an outer guide wall 3 that is formed separately from the running path main body 1 and attached to the outside of the running section 2.

As shown in FIG. 2, an outer edge 6 is formed on the outer side of the running portion 2 of the track body 1, and the outer edge 6
Fitting recesses 9 are formed at intervals.
Further, connecting edges 7 for connecting to other traveling paths (not shown) are formed at both ends of the running section 2, and guide pieces 8 are formed at both ends of the inner guide wall 5.

On the other hand, the outer guide wall 3 forms an outer guide wall, and is formed by integrally forming the outer guide wall 12 and the mounting edge 11 extending along the lower edge of the outer guide wall 12. Attachment shafts 14 are formed at intervals, and guide pieces 8 are formed at both ends of the outer guide wall 12.

The outer guide wall 3 and the running track main body 1 are constructed by overlapping the mounting edge 11 of the outer guide wall 3 and the outer edge 6 of the running track main body 1, and inserting the mounting shaft 14 into the fitting recess 9.
The toy running path A is formed by press-fitting the toy into the toy running path A. At this time,
The outer guide wall 12 and the inner guide wall 5 are formed approximately at right angles to the surface 4 (running surface) of the running section 2.

In addition, the connecting edges 7 and guide pieces 8 at both ends of the running path A
Another route is connected to the .

Next, reference numeral 10 denotes a support member attached at intervals to the back surface of the running section 2, and the supporting member 10 is a member that supports the running section 2 so as to be inclined with respect to the floor surface on which the running path A is placed. It is. As shown in FIGS. 3a and 3b, the support member 10 is mounted on the horizontal plane of the running track main body 1 so that the connection with other running tracks is smooth.
The running portion 2 is supported so that the end portion and the center portion have different inclination angles with respect to the floor surface.

Since the toy running path A having the above structure can form a bank in a curve, when the running toy B having a drive mechanism is run, it will be tilted as shown in Figure 3a, but centrifugal force will not act while the toy is running. Because
The running toy B does not jump out of the running path A, and can run smoothly.

(Effects of the invention) As mentioned above, the running path is made of synthetic resin, and in addition to being able to form a bank in a curve, an inner guide wall can be formed along the inside of the running section in the form of a long and narrow curved plate. It is formed by combining a running path main body formed integrally with an outer guide wall formed separately from the running path main body and attached to an outer edge of the running section to form an outer guide wall. Therefore, the running path main body and the outer guide wall body can be easily formed by integral molding. Therefore, the outer guide wall and the inner guide wall are substantially perpendicular to the surface of the running section,
Moreover, a toy running path having different inclination angles with respect to the floor surface on which the running path is placed at the ends and the center of the running section can be manufactured at low cost without using a complicated mold. Moreover, since it has a divided configuration, packaging becomes easy.
