In general, moving toys are divided into an electric type and a manual type. The electric type moving toys are also divided into one having a manipulation unit, either wire or wireless, and the other having no manipulation unit. They are all included in a category of small model moving toys.
Here, the manual type moving toys are provided with power springs, springs and elastic mechanical systems for enhancing an energy applied thereto to drive the toys. Some of the electric type moving toys, either wire or wireless, can be steered by means of the manipulation unit. However, most of the moving toys having the power springs and the electric type model toys cannot be steered. Even though the some may be steered, they often suffer a breakdown in their steering function due to an external impact, and are adapted to be moved just along a fixed track by means of an additional guide unit.
In addition, electronic toys allow a user to input a predetermined program into the moving toy so as to be moved according to his intention. However, the electronic toys are expensive, and easily breakable as well as inconveniently requiring a need of replacing or charging a battery. Meanwhile, Fig. 1 is a view showing a general moving toy in the conventional art. Referring to Fig. 1, the conventional moving toy is provided with a power spring unit 10, wherein an energy is stored when a user hold a power spring by hands and winds up the power spring and a rotary power is generated when the user lets the power spring go. The power permits rear wheels 12 to be energized into rotation and front wheels 14 to be accordingly energized into rotation, thereby resulting in achievement of a forward movement of the moving toy.
The conventional moving toy with this simple structure, however, has a disadvantage of failing to stimulate a curiosity and give interesting feeling to the user, since it cannot provide other movements than the straight movement.

Best mode for carrying out the invention
The present invention will now be described in connection with a preferred embodiment with reference to the accompanying drawings.
As shown in Figs. 1 to 7, a moving toy according to the present invention includes a power source 22 for driving rear wheels 20; a transmission shaft 24 being axially rotated by the movement of the rear wheels 20; an adjustment circular plate 26 for receiving the rotary power of the transmission shaft 24 and being accordingly rotated; adjustment buttons 28 connected to the adjustment circular plate 26 to form a predetermined shape of track on an upper surface of the adjustment circular plate 26; an adjustment bar 30 being forwardly and backwardly moved by performing a sliding motion along the track on the adjustment circular track 26; and a steering link 34 for steering front wheels 32 to the left and right side by the adjustment bar 30. The power source 22 is integrally formed with a driving shaft 36, which transfers the power to the rear wheels 20. A power spring may be used as the power source 22 in a manner that the power spring is wound up when a user holds the toy in his hands and backwardly pulls it, and then the rear wheels are forwardly moved when the user lets the toy go.
The transmission shaft 24 is a bar shaped mechanism for transmitting the power of the power source 22 to the adjustment circular plate 26, and has a planetary gear 24a on a rear end part thereof and a worm gear 24b on a front end part thereof. The planetary gear 24a is engaged with a crown gear 38, which is integrally formed with the driving shaft 36, and the worm gear 24b is engaged with a gear tooth 26a of the adjustment circular plate 26 to transfer the power. A central part of the transmission shaft 24 is inserted into and supported by a support board 40 shaped like a quadrangular box, which has a hollow portion on an upper surface thereof to prevent the power from being deviated while being transferred. The adjustment circular plate 26 includes the gear tooth 26a on an outer peripheral surface thereof to be engaged with the worm gear 24b formed on the front end part of the transmission shaft 24, and coupling holes 26c, which are shaped like a circular plate having a hollow guide groove 26b on edge portions of an upper surface thereof, and are coupled to the adjustment buttons 28 on lines crossed at right angles about the center.
Here, the coupling holes 26c have a plurality of jaws 26d at both sides thereof, so that the adjustment buttons 28 are movable as far as a predetermined distance in a radial direction, in other words, so that the adjustment buttons 28 can be varied in their coupled positions as they are radially moved as far as the predetermined distance on the upper surface of the adjustment circular plate 26.
The adjustment buttons 28 are coupled to the adjustment circular plate 26, each have a guide groove 28a on an upper surface thereof to form a predetermined track on the adjustment circular plate 26, and also have a coupling protrusion 28b formed on a lower surface thereof to be inserted into the coupling holes 26c.
Here, the coupling protrusions 28b are fixed to the coupling holes 26c of the adjustment circular plate 26 by being forcibly inserted into the coupling holes 26c and each have a shape protruded at both sides thereof, whereby they are separated from the coupling holes 26c to be radially moved as far as the predetermined distance and then fixed to a wanted position of the coupling holes 26c again, as well as being closely attached to the jaws 26d formed on the coupling holes 26c of the adjustment circular plate 26.
In the meantime, the adjustment buttons 28 according to the present invention are arranged as many as 4 on the cross lines about the center of the adjustment circular plate 26. However, it is out of question that the adjustment buttons 28 are addable further along the power source 22, so as to permit the toy to be forwardly movable in more various directions.
The adjustment bar 30 is connected to the steering link 34 at a front end part thereof, and is inserted into the guide grooves 16b, 28a of the adjustment circular plate 26 and the adjustment buttons 28 at a rear end part thereof, in such a manner that a sliding protrusion 30a performing a sliding motion along the track formed by the guide grooves 26b and 28a is downwardly protruded.
The adjustment bar 30 performs the sliding motion according to the predetermined track on the adjustment circular plate 26 and is guided by a guide plate 42 to be forwardly and backwardly moved in an exact manner.
The steering link 34 includes first links 34a connected to a front wheel shaft 44 at both sides thereof, a second link 34b for connecting the first links 34a, an eccentric link 34d, which is hinge-connected on a position somewhat eccentrically formed from the center of the second link 34b and backwardly extended, and has an eccentric protrusion 34c on an upper surface of the extended part thereof, with the eccentric protrusion 34c being eccentrically connected with the adjustment bar 30. The present invention constructed as above allows the toy to be forwardly moved in the predetermined direction by setting the progress direction of the toy in advance by a user. For example, the adjustment buttons 28 arranged on the adjustment circular plate 26 are disposed at desired positions by being moved inwardly and outwardly as far as the predetermined distance. At this time, the coupling protrusion 28b of the adjustment buttons 28 is closely inserted into and firmly fixed to the coupling holes 26c of the adjustment circular plate 26. If the guide grooves 28a on upper surfaces of the coupling holes 26c are arranged on a concentric circle with the guide grooves 26b of the adjustment circular plate 26 to form a circular track, the toy is straightforwardly moved. Moreover, if the guide grooves 28a are inwardly arranged in a radial direction to form a curved track, the adjustment bar 30 is backwardly pulled, whereas if the guide grooves 28a are outwardly arranged, the adjustment bar 30 is forwardly pushed. According to the present invention incorporating the above principle, if the user set the positions of the adjustment buttons 28 and backwardly move the toy by hand, the power spring is wound up and energy is stored, and then if the user let it go, the stored energy leads the driving shaft 36 to be rotated and the transmission shaft 24 connected to the crown gear 38 of the driving shaft 36 is accordingly rotated, thereby rotating the adjustment circular plate 26 in the predetermine direction. When the adjustment circular plate 26 is rotated, if the sliding protrusion 30a of the adjustment bar 30, which is in a state of being placed within the guide grooves 26b and 28a on the adjustment circular plate 26, is forwardly pushed by the adjustment buttons 28 radially arranged on an outer side of the adjustment circular plate 26, the adjustment bar 30 is forwardly moved along the guide plate 42, while the eccentric link 34d of the steering link 34, which is eccentrically connected with a front end of the adjustment bar 30, is turned leftward to horizontally move the second link 34b to the left side, and the first links 34a link-connected to the both ends of the second link 34b are rotated in parallel to the eccentric link 34d, hence causing the front wheels 32 to be turned leftward.
If the sliding protrusion 30a of the adjustment bar 30 is backwardly pulled by the adjustment buttons 28 radially arranged in an inner side of the adjustment circular plate 26, the eccentric link 34d of the steering link 34, which is eccentrically connected to the front end part of the adjustment bar 30 is turned rightward, and the first links 34a link-connected with the both ends of the second link 34b are rotated in parallel to the eccentric link 34d, causing the front wheels 32 to be turned rightward. In this way, the moving toy is forwardly moved in the predetermined direction in such a fashion that the sliding protrusion 30a of the adjustment bar 30 is inserted into the guide grooves 26b and 28a on the adjustment circular plate 26 and then the guide bar 30 is forwardly or backwardly moved according to the set position of the adjustment buttons 28 on the rotated adjustment circular plate 26. By way of example, if the adjustment buttons 28 on the adjustment circular plate 26 are normally arranged in a radial direction to form a circular track, the moving toy is only forwardly moved. If the adjustment buttons 28 are all outwardly arranged to form a curved track, the moving toy is periodically turned leftward during its forward movement, whereas if the adjustment buttons 28 are all inwardly arranged, the moving toy is periodically turned rightward during its forward movement. Besides, the moving toy can be moved in various directions by varying the arrangement of the adj ustment buttons 28.
Industrial Applicability
As stated above, the present invention has an advantage of enabling a user to easily understand a principle of steering through the simple structured toy by employing a steering unit in the toy, presetting a desirable direction, and forwardly moving the moving toy in the preset direction, and has another advantage of improving children's space perception and deductive power and cultivating the understanding about mechanical operation by enabling the children to predict the movement of the moving toy to avoid obstacles and allowing a service test, such as a path assumption, to be carried out.
