Mode for Carrying Out the Invention

[0016] Hereinafter, the track plate according to the embodiment of the present invention will be described based on the drawings.

[0017] [[ID=三十六]] FIG. 1 is a perspective view showing a track toy 100 on which a vehicle toy 90 travels, and FIG. 2 is a perspective view of a track plate 10 according to the embodiment. The track toy 100 includes, for example, a track plate 10 provided in a station building. This track plate 10 is rectangular in plan view, and dove-tailed protrusions 10a and dove-tailed recesses 10b are formed at each end of this track plate 10. Other track pieces 10A and 10B are connected using this protrusion 10a and recess 10b.

[0018] An operator 11 that can operate in the left - right direction and can take three positions is provided on the track plate 10. And by the operation of this operator 11, the track plate 10 can be made to take three modes.

[0019] The first mode is the auto mode, which occurs when the control unit 11 is moved to the left. In this auto mode, the stopper 12 protrudes from above the track board 10, and when the toy vehicle 90 enters the track board 10, the stopper 12 stops the toy vehicle 90. The toy vehicle 90 can enter from either the left or the right. After a predetermined time has elapsed, the stopper 12 automatically lowers, and the toy vehicle 90 starts moving. After that, the stopper 12 rises, and the above operation is repeated each time the toy vehicle 90 enters.

[0020] The second mode is the stop mode, which occurs when the control unit 11 is moved to the center. In this stop mode, the stopper 12 protrudes from above the track board 10, and when the toy vehicle 90 enters the track board 10, the stopper 12 stops the toy vehicle 90. The toy vehicle 90 can enter from either the left or the right. In this case, to start the stopped toy vehicle 90, the control unit 11 is moved to the position for the pass-through mode.

[0021] The third mode is the pass-through mode, which occurs when the control unit 11 is moved to the right. In this pass-through mode, the stopper 12 is retracted into the track board 10, and when the toy vehicle 90 enters the track board 10, the toy vehicle 90 passes through without stopping. The toy vehicle 90 can enter from either the left or the right.

[0022] The following describes the details of the track toy 100. Figure 3 is a perspective view showing the internal structure of the track board 10, and Figure 4 is a perspective view showing the stopper 12 and its surrounding structure. In the description of the track toy 100, "front and back" and "left and right" refer to the "front and back" and "left and right" directions indicated by arrows in Figure 1.

[0023] (Washing plate 10) A. Stopper 12 The stopper 12 locks the vehicle toy 90 to a locking portion provided on the underside of the chassis of the vehicle toy 90, thereby stopping the vehicle toy 90. The track board 10 is provided with a movable stopper 12. The body of the stopper 12 is approximately symmetrical, and as shown in Figure 5, two diamond-shaped protrusions 12a are attached to the front and rear surfaces of the base of the stopper 12. The two protrusions 12a, 12a on the front and the two protrusions 12a, 12a on the rear are formed at a predetermined distance apart in the direction of travel (left-right direction) of the toy vehicle 90. These protrusions 12a engage with the slider 13, which will be described later.

[0024] B. Slider 13 The track plate 10 is provided with rod-shaped bodies 13a and 13b in front of and behind the stopper 12. As shown in Figure 4, the rod-shaped bodies 13a and 13b are screw-connected to each other, forming a slider 13 that can reciprocate integrally in the left-right direction. The rod-shaped bodies 13a and 13b have sliding contact guide portions 14 formed on them, corresponding to the respective protrusions 12a of the stopper 12. The sliding contact guide portion 14 is composed of a cam groove. In other words, the slider 13 and the stopper 12 constitute both a linear cam and a positive-acting cam. The sliding contact guide portion 14 of the rod-shaped body 13a and the sliding contact guide portion 14 of the rod-shaped body 13b are symmetrical in shape, so the sliding contact guide portion 14 of the rod-shaped body 13b shown in Figure 6 will be described, and the description of the sliding contact guide portion 14 of the rod-shaped body 13a will be omitted. The sliding contact guide portion 14 of the rod-shaped body 13b is composed of a horizontally extending sliding contact portion 14a, a sliding contact portion 14b that slopes upward to the right from the right end of the sliding contact portion 14a, and a sliding contact portion 14c that extends horizontally from the right end of the sliding contact portion 14b. Each sliding contact guide portion 14 is engaged with a corresponding projection 12a.

[0025] Furthermore, the slider 13 is biased to the left by a tension spring 13b (Figure 3) that is attached between it and the fixed part of the track plate 10. Then, when the slider 13 moves to the left due to the biasing force of the tension spring 13f, the stopper 12 rises, and conversely, when the slider 13 moves to the right against the biasing force of the tension spring 13f, the stopper 12 descends.

[0026] Furthermore, as shown in Figure 4, a first pressure-receiving piece 13c is formed on the left side and a second pressure-receiving piece 13d is formed on the right side of the front surface of the rod-shaped body 13a. These first pressure-receiving piece 13c and second pressure-receiving piece 13d are for operating the slider 13.

[0027] Furthermore, two projections 13e are formed on the rear surface of the rod-shaped body 13b, one on each side. These projections 13e are used for positioning the slider 13.

[0028] C. Operation board 22 As shown in Figure 4, the track panel 10 is provided with an operating plate 22 that changes the position of the slider 13 by the operation of the operator 11. An operator 11 is attached to the upper front end of the control panel 22, and the operator 11 protrudes from the upper surface of the track panel 10.

[0029] An elastic projection 22a for positioning is provided at the front end of the control panel 22. This elastic projection 22a engages with a predetermined fixing part (not shown) in the track plate 10 at each mode selection position of the operator 11 to maintain that position.

[0030] A pressing piece 22b is attached to the rear end of the control panel 22. When the operator 11 is in the pass-through mode selection position, the pressing piece 22b presses the second pressed piece 13d from left to right against the biasing force of the tension spring 13f of the slider 13. This pressing causes the slider 13 to move to the right and the stopper 12 to descend. Furthermore, when the operator 11 is in the left position (auto mode selection position) or the center position (stop mode selection position), the pressing piece 22b does not press the second pressed piece 13d. As a result, the stopper 12 takes the raised position.

[0031] Furthermore, a notch 22c is formed in the control panel 22. The notch 22c extends in the left-right direction and opens at the left end of the control panel 22. The function of this notch 22c will be described later.

[0032] D. Positioning member 15 Inside the track plate 10, a positioning member 15 is provided for positioning the slider 13. The positioning member 15 is U-shaped in plan view, with its opening facing the slider 13. The positioning member 15 consists of a first portion 15a extending parallel to the slider 13 and a second portion 15b connected to the left and right of the first portion 15a and extending toward the slider 13. The tip of the second portion 15b is the positioning portion 15c.

[0033] The positioning member 15 is capable of reciprocating in a direction perpendicular to the operating direction of the slider 13. The positioning member 15 is biased toward the slider 13 by a compression spring (not shown). The positioning portion 15c is in contact with the rear surface of the rod-shaped body 13b.

[0034] The left and right positioning portions 15c of the positioning member 15 correspond to the left and right protrusions 13e of the slider 13. To explain the relationship between the positioning unit 15c and the projection 13e, when the rod-shaped body 13b is in the leftmost position, that is, when the operator 11 is in the left position (auto mode selection position) or the center position (stop mode selection position), the positioning unit 15c is located to the right of the projection 13e. Also, when the operator 11 is in the right position (pass mode selection position), the positioning unit 15c is located to the left of the projection 13e.

[0035] E. Rotating bodies 32, 33 Figure 7 is a plan view of the track bed 10. The track bed 10 is equipped with rotating bodies 32 and 33 that extract power from the driving wheels of the toy vehicle 90. The rotating bodies 32 and 33 constitute part of the power extraction device. The rotating bodies 32 and 33 are positioned in front of and behind the stopper 12. Rotating body 32 is rotatable around a vertical axis 32a. Rotating body 33 is rotatable around a vertical axis 33a. Each of the rotating bodies 32 and 33 is partially exposed within the corresponding wheel grooves 10c and 10d of the track surface 10. The exposed portions are the eccentric portions of the rotating bodies 32 and 33. These rotating bodies 32 and 33 constitute input rotating bodies, contacting the driving wheels of the toy vehicle 90 and inputting the rotational power of those driving wheels.

[0036] F. Stopper lowering mechanism (starting mechanism) 40 Figure 8 is a perspective view of the stopper lowering mechanism 40, and Figure 9 is a bottom view of the stopper lowering mechanism 40. The rotating body 32 is equipped with a stopper lowering mechanism 40 that lowers the stopper 12 at a predetermined timing when in auto mode. Through the action of this stopper lowering mechanism 40, the stopper 12 stops the toy vehicle 90, and after a predetermined time has elapsed, the toy vehicle 90 can be launched.

[0037] The stopper lowering mechanism 40 is equipped with a gear train consisting of gears 41a to 41i. Gear 41a is attached to the rotating body 32 and rotates integrally with the rotating body 32. Gear 41b is a gear that meshes with gear 41a. Gear 41c is a gear that is movable in the axial direction and is biased upward by a compression spring 42 wound around its shaft. When the operator 11 is in the right position (pass mode selection position) and the center position (stop mode selection position), gear 41c is in the upper position and does not mesh with gears 41b and 41d. On the other hand, when the operator plate 22 is in the left position (auto mode selection position) due to operation of the operator 11, gear 41c is pushed by the edge of the notch 22c of the operator plate 22 and meshes with gears 41b and 41d.

[0038] Gear 41e is an integral gear with gear 41d and, together with gears 41f to 41h, constitutes a rotation switching mechanism. Gear 41e is a sun gear. Gears 41f and 41g are planetary gears attached to a V-shaped planetary carrier 43 that is rotatably mounted on the shaft of gear 41e. Gear 41f meshes with gear 41i when gear (sun gear) 41e rotates in one direction and disengages when gear 41e rotates in the other direction. On the other hand, gear 41g meshes with gear 41h when gear 41e rotates in the other direction and disengages when gear 41e rotates in one direction. Gear 41h is a gear that is always meshed with gear 41i. Since the rotation switching mechanism is configured in this way, gear 41i rotates in the same direction regardless of the rotation direction of gear 41e.

[0039] Furthermore, a pin 44 is attached to the gear 41i at its eccentric position. A tension spring 46 is stretched between this pin 44 and the fixing part 45 in the raceway plate 10. On the other hand, a pressing part 47 is attached to the lower surface of the gear 41i. When the slider 13 is in the auto mode position, this pressing part 47 is in a position to come into contact with the first pressed piece 13c due to the rotation of the gear 41i. As a result, the gear 41i rotates against the biasing force of the tension spring 46 from its initial position (Figure 10(A)) (Figure 10(B)), and after passing the point where the fixing part 45, the shaft of the gear 41i, and the pin 44 are aligned in a straight line (Figure 10(C)), the biasing force of the tension spring 46 causes the gear 41i to rotate vigorously in the same direction and return to its initial position. At this time, the pressing part 47 presses the first pressed piece 13c, the slider 13 moves to the right, and the stopper 12 temporarily descends. Then, when the pressing part 47 stops pressing the first pressed piece 13c, the slider 13 returns to its original position due to the biasing force of the tension spring 13f. Furthermore, even when the slider 13 is in the stop mode position, the pressing portion 47 is in a position to contact the first pressed piece 13c due to the rotation of the gear 41i. However, in this case, the power is cut off by the gear 41c, so the stopper lowering mechanism 40 does not operate.

[0040] G. Power supply mechanism (power transmission mechanism) 50 Figure 11 is a perspective view of the power supply mechanism 50, and Figure 12 is a bottom view of the power supply mechanism 50. The rotating body 33 is equipped with a power supply mechanism 50 that supplies power to external moving parts.

[0041] The power supply mechanism 50 is equipped with a gear train consisting of gears 51a to 51e. Of these, gear 51a is a gear attached to the rotating body 33 and rotates integrally with the rotating body 33. Gear 51b is a gear that meshes with gear 51a. Gear 51c is a gear that meshes with gear 51b. Gear 51d is a small gear integrated with gear 51c. Gear 51e is a gear that meshes with gear 51d and outputs power to the outside. Gear 51e is provided exposed at the end of the raceway 10. When the operating panel 60, described later, is connected to the raceway 10, gear 51c can mesh with, for example, gear 63a of the operating panel 60, described later.

[0042] H. Other structures As shown in Figure 7, the track surface 10 has wheel grooves 10c and 10d through which the wheels of the toy vehicle 90 pass. However, at the point where the toy vehicle 90 enters the track surface 10, the front wheel groove 10c (front side in the view of the arrow in Figure 1) is bent inward in a mountain shape in plan view. This bent portion 10e is provided at the point where some of the wheels of the toy vehicle 90 stop when the toy vehicle 90 is stopped by the stopper 12. When power is extracted from the rotating bodies 32 and 33, and the rotating body 33 operates the moving parts, the load on the rotating body 33 becomes greater than the load on the rotating body 32. As a result, the wheels of the toy vehicle 90 spin freely on the rotating body 33, and the rear part of the toy vehicle 90 in the direction of entry tends to move towards the front side of the track board 10 (forward side in the direction of the arrow in Figure 1). When this movement occurs, the power from the wheels in contact with the rotating bodies 32 and 33 is not sufficiently transmitted to the rotating bodies 32 and 33. Therefore, in order to prevent the rear portion of the vehicle toy 90 from shifting in the direction of entry and to keep the vehicle toy 90 in the correct position at all times, a bent portion 10e is provided in the wheel groove 10c. Two bent portions 10e are provided on the left and right sides because the track surface 10 is entered from the left and right directions.

[0043] (Operation board 60) Figure 13 is a perspective view of the track board 10 and the control panel 60, Figure 14 is a plan view of the track board 10 and the control panel 60, and Figure 15 is a plan view showing the internal structure of the track board and the control panel 60. The control panel 60 is modeled after a rotary in front of a train station and is connected to the track panel 10 by screws 61, 61. For example, track pieces 66a to 66f for the toy car 91 are connected to the control panel 60 on three sides, excluding the side facing the track panel 10, through which the toy car 91 enters and exits.

[0044] This control panel 60 is equipped with a rotary table 62 for rotating the toy car 91. A large-diameter ring gear 63g is provided on the outer circumference of the rotary table 62. Furthermore, the operating panel 60 is provided with a power transmission mechanism 63 that transmits rotational power to the rotary table 62, including a gear 63a that meshes with the gear (output gear) 51e of the track panel 10 when connected to the track panel 10.

[0045] The power transmission mechanism 63 is equipped with gears 63a to 63g. Gear 63a is the input gear. Gear 63b is a planetary gear with gear 63a as the sun gear, and selectively meshes with either gear 63c or gear 63d depending on the rotation direction of gear 63a. Gears 63c and 63d are gears that are always meshed.

[0046] Gear 63e is a gear that meshes with gear 63d. Gear 63f is a gear integrated with gear 63e and meshes with the large-diameter ring gear 63g. The large-diameter ring gear 63g is a gear provided on the rotary table 62.

[0047] According to this control panel 60, when the track panel 10 is in auto mode, the toy car 91 can be made to turn in one direction in the rotary in front of the station, regardless of the direction in which the toy vehicle 90 enters.

[0048] In Figures 13 to 15, reference numeral 65 indicates a guide member. This guide member 65 is configured to be foldable around a horizontal axis 65a and rotatable around a vertical axis 65b. For example, if the guide member 65 is raised, the toy car 91 rotates on the rotating table 62 each time the toy vehicle 90 stops in auto mode. Also, if the guide member 65 is lowered, the toy car 91 rotates on the rotating table 62 each time the toy vehicle 90 stops in auto mode, and then the toy car 91 is ejected in the direction from which the guide member 65 is lowered.

[0049] (Effects of the embodiment) The following effects can be obtained with the track board 10 configured in this way.

[0050] With this track board 10, power is drawn from both sides in the width direction of the stationary toy vehicle 90, allowing for a wide range of motion in the moving parts around the toy vehicle 90 with a simple configuration. Furthermore, the moving parts around the toy vehicle 90 can be operated simultaneously.

[0051] Furthermore, with this track board 10, the rotating bodies 32 and 33 rotate around vertical axes 32a and 33a, so even if the track board 10 is thin, the diameter of the rotating bodies can be made larger compared to the case where the rotating bodies rotate around a horizontal axis, thus enabling a large torque to be obtained. In addition, by making the rotating bodies 32 and 33 thin and flat disc-shaped in order to make the track board 10 thinner, rattling when the toy vehicle 90 enters is prevented.

[0052] Furthermore, with this raceway 10, the rotating bodies 32 and 33 are connected to a gear train consisting of multiple gears that rotate around a vertical axis, so the thickness of the raceway 10 can be reduced.

[0053] Furthermore, according to this track board 10, in auto mode, the stopper 12 that holds the vehicle toy 90 in place is lowered when the pressing part 47 rotates to a predetermined rotational position due to the rotation of the rotating body 32, thereby allowing the vehicle toy 90 to start automatically.

[0054] Furthermore, with this track plate 10, in auto mode, the pressing part 47 is operated by the biasing force of the tension spring 46, so the slider 13 can be operated instantaneously.

[0055] Furthermore, with this track board 10, in auto mode, the toy vehicles 90 that enter the track board 10 from either side can be stopped before being launched.

[0056] (modified version) Although embodiments of the present invention have been described above, it goes without saying that the present invention is not limited to the above embodiments and can be modified in various ways.

[0057] In the above embodiment, power is supplied to the operating panel 60 located outside the track board 10, but it is also possible to provide operating components on the track board 10 and operate them there.

[0058] Furthermore, in the above embodiment, the control panel 60 is modeled after a rotary in front of a station, but various patterns of control panels are conceivable, such as a station type with platform doors that open, or a control panel modeled after a ticket gate with moving figures. In short, it is sufficient if it is integrated with the track board 10 or can be connected to the track board 10 and operates using power taken from the toy vehicle 90. [Explanation of symbols]
