Play toy system using remote controlled traveling toy, remote-controlled traveling toy, and play board

Abstract

A play toy system using a remote-controlled traveling toy, which enables the remote-controlled traveling toy to make a movement that is more unexpected than before. The remote-controlled traveling toy includes one front wheel and two rear wheels. The traveling toy is remotely controlled by remote control signals and is so constructed as to travel on a traveling surface of a play board. The diameter sizes of the two rear wheels 7 and 9 are different. With one front wheel and two rear wheels having a different diameter, the remote-controlled traveling toy can move more unexpectedly than anyone has ever experienced, according to the state of the traveling surface of the play board.

Description

TECHNICAL FIELD [0001] The present invention relates to a play toy system using a remote-controlled traveling toy, a remote-controlled traveling toy, and a play board. BACKGROUND ART [0002] There have been hitherto known play toy systems played by causing remote-controllable traveling toys to compete with each other. Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open Publication No. 000962 / 2002 discloses a play toy system played by making remote-controllable top toys travel on the travel surface of a play board and then flipping the top toy of an opponent out of the play board or knocking down the top toy of the opponent. Japanese Utility Model Registration Publication No. 3092080 discloses an example of a play board for top toys, provided with a plurality of concave portions in the central portion thereof for receiving magnets. [0003] The players' interest cannot be enhanced simply by causing the remote-controlled traveling toys to compete with each other as in the prior art, because the travel...

AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

The present invention is a play toy system using a remote-controlled traveling toy with a unique movement that is unexpected and unstable. The toy includes two rear wheels with different diameters, which results in an inclined body and unstable traveling. The angle of the front wheel can be adjusted to control the movement of the toy. The toy system also includes a simple remote control device with a switch for rotating the electric motor at a normal speed or a faster speed. The diameter sizes of the rear wheels are set so that the toy can tumble or turn over when the traveling surface is not perfectly smooth. The play board can be designed to take advantage of the difference in the diameters of the rear wheels to create more unexpected traveling experiences. The system also includes a concave section that allows the toy to get out of and a reversed movement can be achieved. Overall, the remote-controlled traveling toy system provides an unstable and unexpected movement that is controlled by the player, making it a more interesting and exciting play toy.

Problems solved by technology

Since the remote-controlled traveling toy makes an unexpected movement, fine control rather becomes an obstacle to speeding up as well as a cause of reducing controllability.

When such the simple remote control device is employed, what angle is set for the front wheel before the start of a play greatly affects subsequent control.

Thus, depending on the angle of traveling, tumbling or turning over will readily occur.

Incidentally, when the dynamic friction resistance between the front wheel and the play board is too small, the remote-controlled traveling toy is apt to slip during traveling, so that the controllability of the remote-controlled traveling toy is reduced.

With this arrangement, due to the presence of the low-density polyethylene, the surface roughness of the front wheel of the remote-controlled traveling toy becomes coarse.
