Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to an action toy. Background Technology

[0002] Previously, action toys having a gear mechanism and an operating member that engages or disengages the gears in the gear mechanism are known (for example, see Patent Document 1).

[0003] In this action toy, a gear is disposed on a movable shaft, which is configured to move axially between a first position and a second position, and is configured to be forceped toward the first position, disengaging the gear from other gears (opposite gears) in the first position, and engaging the gear with other gears in the second position.

[0006] Patent Document 1: Japanese Utility Model Publication No. 6-39758 Summary of the Invention

[0007] The problem that the invention aims to solve

[0008] In the aforementioned action toy, the movable shaft (sliding gear shaft) is pre-pressed into a locking part with a locking step formed at the base end of the control lever. When the gears are meshed together, the control lever is operated to overcome the pressing force and cause the movable shaft to slide axially.

[0009] However, when gears mesh with each other, it is necessary to ensure that the teeth of one gear match the teeth and tooth clearance of the other gears.

[0010] However, if the timing is not right, sometimes when operating the control lever, the teeth of one gear may collide with the teeth of other gears, preventing the gears from meshing properly. In this case, due to the operation of the control lever, the teeth of one gear are forcefully pressed against the teeth of other gears, which may cause damage to the gears. In addition, when the teeth of one gear collide with the teeth of other gears, there is also a risk that releasing the control lever may cause the gears to lose their meshing.

[0011] The present invention was made in view of the above-mentioned actual situation, and its object is to provide an action toy that can prevent gear breakage and enable gears to mesh reliably.

[0012] means for solving problems

[0013] The first technical solution is an action toy, the action toy comprising:

[0014] A movable shaft is provided with a gear and is capable of moving axially. By moving, it can selectively take a first position where the gear is disengaged from other gears and a second position where the gear is engaged with other gears.

[0015] A first helical spring applies a force to the movable shaft toward the first position; and

[0016] The operating element serves as a trigger for moving the movable shaft.

[0017] Its features are,

[0018] The action toy has the following features:

[0019] A movable body, capable of returning to a predetermined position by a predetermined force, and capable of moving in one direction by means of the operation of the said operating member; and

[0020] The motion direction conversion mechanism has a sliding contact body connected to the movable body via a second helical spring, and the movable shaft is always in contact with the sliding contact body by the force of the first helical spring.

[0021] The motion direction conversion mechanism is configured such that the sliding contact body slides into contact with the movable shaft by utilizing the force of the second helical spring accumulated when the movable body moves from the predetermined position in one direction, thereby overcoming the force of the first helical spring and moving the movable shaft to the second position.

[0022] The second technical solution, based on the first technical solution, is characterized in that...

[0023] The action toy has a latching mechanism that, whenever the operating element is operated, alternately latches and releases the movable body at a position away from the predetermined position.

[0024] During the latching of the movable body, the latching mechanism applies force to the movable shaft toward the second position via the sliding contact body through the force of the second helical spring.

[0025] The third technical solution, based on the second technical solution, is characterized in that:

[0026] The action toy is equipped with a stop. When the operating element is operated, the stop protrudes into the forward path of the movable axis to prevent the movable axis from moving to the second position. When the hand is removed from the operating element, the stop retracts from the forward path of the movable axis, allowing the movable axis to move to the second position.

[0027] The movable body is configured such that when it moves in one direction from the predetermined position by the operation of the operating member, it starts later than the operating member, so that the stop member can enter the forward path of the movable shaft before the movable body starts.

[0028] The fourth technical solution, based on the third technical solution, is characterized in that a spring portion is provided in the stop member. This spring portion is used to cause the stop member to deflect from the forward path by sliding contact with the outer periphery of the movable shaft when the movable shaft is already in the second position during the operation of the operating member.

[0029] The fifth solution is based on any one of the second to fourth technical solutions, characterized in that:

[0030] The action toy includes: a motor that actuates a gear mechanism that performs a predetermined action through the meshing of the first gear and the other gears; and a leaf switch for activating the motor.

[0031] The movable body is provided with a contact part, which abuts against the leaf switch when the movable body moves in one direction from the predetermined position, thereby turning on the leaf switch. The contact part abuts against the leaf switch during the period when the movable body is latched, thereby keeping the leaf switch in the on state. After the latch is released, when the movable body returns to the predetermined position, the contact with the leaf switch is released, thereby turning off the leaf switch.

[0032] The sixth technical solution is based on any one of the second to fifth technical solutions, characterized in that the latching mechanism comprises: a rotating member capable of rotating on the movable body about a predetermined axis, and having a locking pin at its front end; and a heart-shaped cam groove disposed on the fixed part of the action toy for engaging with the locking pin.

[0033] The seventh technical solution is based on any one of the first to sixth technical solutions, characterized in that the action toy is provided with a third helical spring, which uses the specified force to reset the movable body to the specified position.

[0034] Invention Effects

[0035] According to the present invention, the sliding contact body is moved by the second helical spring, and the sliding contact body slides into contact with the movable shaft and moves to the second position. Therefore, the gears are not pressed against each other by excessive force, and gear breakage can be effectively prevented. Attached Figure Description

[0060] Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0061] Figure 1 This is a perspective view of a railway vehicle toy 100, an example of an action toy. In the description of this railway vehicle toy 100, "front," "back," "left," "right," and "up" refer to views observed from inside the railway vehicle toy 100. Figure 1 direction shown.

[0062] The toy railway vehicle 100 includes a lead vehicle 10 (hereinafter referred to as vehicle 10) and a second vehicle 11 (hereinafter referred to as vehicle 11). Vehicle 10 and vehicle 11 are connected to each other by connectors 10a and 11a. Connectors 10a and 11a are not particularly limited and are made of hook and loop fasteners.

[0063] The vehicle 10 is provided with a button (operating element) 12 that protrudes upwards from the roof. On the other hand, the roof of the vehicle 11 has a rectangular recess 13 that opens upwards from above, and two chess pieces 14 that resemble human figures are detachably mounted in the recess 13.

[0064] Furthermore, the toy railway vehicle 100 can be driven electrically or manually by pressing button 12.

[0065] Figure 2 This is a perspective view of the internal casing 10a of the vehicle 10 as seen from the left. Figure 3 This is a perspective view from the left showing the state after the upper frame of the inner casing 10a has been removed. Figure 4 This is a perspective view of the internal casing 10a of the leading vehicle 10 as seen from the right.

[0066] In the inner housing 10a, drive wheels 15, 15 are provided on the left and right sides at the rear, and driven wheels 16, 16 are provided on the left and right sides at the front.

[0067] In addition, the inner housing 10a is provided with: a battery 17 as a power source; a motor 18 as a power source; a gear mechanism 19 that transmits the power of the motor 18 to the drive wheels 15; and a meshing relationship changing mechanism 20 that changes the meshing relationship between the gears in the gear mechanism 19.

[0068] (Gear Mechanism 19)

[0069] Figure 5 This is a side view taken from the left, showing the motor 18, gear mechanism 19, and drive wheel 15. Figure 6 This is a rear view showing the gear mechanism 19 and the drive wheel 15.

[0070] The gear mechanism 19 that transmits power from the motor 18 to the drive wheels 15 is configured to include gears 21a to 21k. Gear 21a is mounted on the output shaft 22a of the horizontally mounted motor 18. The output shaft 22a extends rearward from the housing of the motor 18. Gear 21b is a crown gear mounted on the shaft 22b extending in the vertical direction of the vehicle 10 and meshing with gear 21a. Gear 21c is mounted on the shaft 22b and rotates integrally with gear 21b. Gear 21d is mounted on the shaft 22c parallel to the shaft 22b and meshes with gear 21c. Gear 21e is mounted on the shaft 22c and is a helical gear that rotates integrally with gear 21d.

[0071] Gear 21f is disposed on shaft 22d extending in the left-right direction of vehicle 10 and is capable of meshing with gear 21e. That is, shaft 22d is a movable shaft, configured to move axially. Depending on its position of movement, gear 21f meshes with gear 21e in a second position and disengages from gear 21e in a first position. Shaft 22d is subjected to force toward the first position where gear 21f and gear 21e are disengaged due to the force of the helical spring 23 wound around shaft 22d.

[0072] Gear 21g is mounted on shaft 22e extending in the left-right direction and meshes with gear 21f. Gear 21h is mounted on shaft 22f extending in the left-right direction and meshes with gear 21g. Gear 21i is mounted on shaft 22g extending in the left-right direction and meshes with gear 21h. Gear 21j is mounted on shaft 22g. Furthermore, a clutch mechanism 24 is provided between gear 21j and gear 21i (see reference). Figure 6 When an overload occurs, the clutch mechanism 24 cuts off the power transmission between gear 21j and gear 21i. Gear 21k is located on the axle 15a of the drive wheels 15 and meshes with gear 21j.

[0073] According to the gear mechanism 19, when the motor 18 is working and gears 21f and 21e are engaged, the power of the motor 18 causes the drive wheels 15 to 15 to rotate in the forward direction via gears 21a to 21k. Furthermore, when the motor 18 is not working and gears 21f and 21e are disengaged, the toy railway vehicle 100 can be moved by hand.

[0074] (Mechanism for changing meshing relationship 20)

[0075] Figure 7 This is an exploded perspective view taken from the rear of the meshing relationship changing mechanism 20. Figure 8 This is a side view from the right, showing the meshing relationship change mechanism 20 and its surroundings.

[0076] The meshing relationship changing mechanism 20 uses button 12 as a trigger to move shaft 22d axially, and according to its movement direction, it makes gear 21f mesh with gear 21e, or disengages them.

[0077] The engagement relationship changing mechanism 20 includes a button 12, a movable body 31 located below the button 12 and capable of moving up and down, a sliding contact body 32 capable of moving up and down relative to the movable body 31, a helical spring 33 clamped between the movable body 31 and the sliding contact body 32, a latching mechanism 34 capable of latching the movable body 31 in a downward moving position, and a stop member 35 located below the button 12 and moving integrally with the button 12.

[0078] Button 12 is subjected to an upward force by a coil spring 12a. An outward protrusion 12b is attached to the outer periphery of the lower end of button 12. The button 12 is inserted from below into an opening in the roof of vehicle 10, and the outward protrusion 12b engages with the edge of the opening in the roof of vehicle 10, thereby preventing it from dislodging upwards. Additionally, a downward-opening recess (not shown) is provided on the lower side of button 12.

[0079] When the sliding contact body 32 moves downward from its initial position, it slides into contact with the right end of the shaft 22d, causing the shaft 22d to overcome the force of the coil spring 23 and move axially to the left. An inwardly facing claw 32a is provided at the upper end of the sliding contact body 32. Furthermore, an upwardly opening pocket 32b is formed in the middle of the vertical direction of the sliding contact body 32, into which the lower half of the coil spring 33 is inserted. An abutment surface 32c is formed on the inner surface of the lower end of the sliding contact body 32, capable of abutting against the right end of the shaft 22d. The abutment surface 32c is composed of an upper inclined sliding contact surface 320c and a lower vertical surface 321c. This sliding contact body 32 is assembled to the movable body 31. Moreover, in its initial position, the right end of the shaft 22d abuts against the upper end of the vertical surface 321c, thereby hindering the downward movement of the sliding contact body 32.

[0080] The sliding contact body 32 and the shaft 22d that abuts against the sliding contact body 32 by the force of the coil spring 23 constitute a motion direction conversion mechanism. Moreover, this motion direction conversion mechanism can operate reversibly depending on the magnitude of the force of the coil spring 23 and the force of the coil spring 33.

[0081] The head of the movable body 31 faces the recess of the button 12. An outward-facing claw 31a is formed in the middle of the movable body 31 in the vertical direction. A sliding contact body 32 is assembled on the movable body 31, such that the claw 32a is located above the claw 31a, and the upper end of the coil spring 33 inserted into the pocket 32b abuts against the lower surface of the claw 31a. Through the force of the coil spring 33, the lower surface of the claw 32a abuts against the upper surface of the claw 31a.

[0082] Furthermore, a step portion 31b is formed on the movable body 31, which is pressed by the button 12 to move the movable body 31 downward. The movable body 31 is subjected to an upward force by the coil spring 37, and in the initial position, a predetermined gap is formed between the button 12 and the step portion 31b. This predetermined gap is used to ensure that when the movable body 31 is in the initial position, pressing the button 12 will cause the stop member 35 (described later) to actuate before the movement of the movable body 31. Here, the upward force on the movable body 31 is applied by the coil spring 37, but the upward force can also be applied by the coil spring 33 between the movable body 31 and the sliding contact body 32.

[0083] The stop 35 is fixed to the button 12 with its head facing the recess of the button 12. Furthermore, the stop 35 moves up and down following the button 12. This stop 35 is disposed in the wall 50 (see reference) through which a shaft hole supporting the left end of the shaft 22d is provided. Figures 9A to 9C The stop 35 blocks the shaft hole from the outside of the wall 50 when it moves downward, preventing the shaft 22d from moving to the left. An S-shaped spring portion 35a is provided on the base end side of the stop 35. In addition, an inclined sliding contact portion 35b is formed at the lower end (front end) of the stop 35. Moreover, when the stop 35 moves downward, if the shaft 22d is present below the stop 35, the inclined sliding contact portion 35b slides into contact with the outer periphery of the shaft 22d, and the spring portion 35a deflects and retracts, allowing the stop 35 to move downward.

[0084] The latching mechanism 34 is configured as follows.

[0085] like Figure 8 As shown, a rotating member 34b capable of rotating about an axis 34a is provided on the outer right side of the movable body 31. A locking pin 34c is attached to the lower end (front end) of the rotating member 34b. The locking pin 34c enters a heart-shaped cam groove 36a formed on the inner wall 36 of the movable body 31. The rotating member 34b, the cam groove 36a, and the coil spring 37 constitute a latching mechanism 34.

[0086] The cam groove 36a is formed with a heart-shaped recess on the lower side. Additionally, a whisker-shaped spring portion 34d is provided at the front end of the rotating member 34b, and the front end of this spring portion 34d can slide into contact with the fixed protrusion 34e as the movable body 31 moves downward. Thus, with the operation of the button 12, the locking pin 34c can smoothly rotate in one direction along the cam groove 36a.

[0087] According to the latching mechanism 34, when the movable body 31 moves downward from its initial position (defined) by pressing the button 12, the front end of the spring portion 34d slides into contact with the fixed protrusion 34e, and the locking pin 34c abuts against the protrusion 360c formed on the outer wall of the cam groove 36a. Then, when the hand leaves the button 12, the movable body 31 moves slightly upward by the coil spring 37, and the locking pin 34c engages with the recess 361c formed on the inner wall of the cam groove 36a, thus latching the movable body 31. Furthermore, when the button 12 is pressed again, the locking pin 34c disengages from the recess 361c of the heart-shaped cam groove 36a, and when the hand leaves the button 12, the movable body 31 moves upward by the coil spring 37 and returns to its initial position.

[0088] like Figure 8 As shown, a leaf switch 40 is provided in front of the movable body 31. The leaf switch 40 includes a movable piece 40a and a fixed piece 40b. When the movable body 31 moves downward, the abutment portion 31c at the front end of the movable body 31 abuts against the movable piece 40a, thereby abutting the movable piece 40a against the fixed piece 40b and turning on the leaf switch 40. When the movable body 31 is in the latched state, the movable piece 40a and the fixed piece 40b remain in contact. When the movable piece 40a and the fixed piece 40b are in contact, the motor 18 operates. In addition, a main switch 41 is provided near the leaf switch 40. The handle 41a of the main switch 41 protrudes downward toward the body of the vehicle 10, allowing operation from below the body.

[0089] (Gameplay and overall action)

[0090] Turn on the main switch 41, from Figure 9A The state overcomes the force of the coil spring 12a, pressing button 12 downwards once. As a result, button 12 moves downwards, as... Figure 9B As shown, button 12 abuts against the stepped portion 31b of movable body 31 midway, overcoming the force of coil spring 37 to press movable body 31, and stop member 35 moves downward. Through the downward movement of stop member 35, stop member 35 protrudes into the forward path of shaft 22d, preventing shaft 22d from moving to the left.

[0091] On the other hand, by pressing the movable body 31, the abutting part 31c of the movable body 31 slides into contact with the movable plate 40a of the leaf switch 40, causing the movable plate 40a to abut against the fixed plate 40b. As a result, the motor 18 operates, and the gears 21a to 21e rotate. In addition, by pressing the movable body 31, the helical spring 33 between the movable body 31 and the sliding contact body 32 contracts and stores energy.

[0092] In addition, the locking pin 34c of the rotating member 34 abuts against the protrusion 360a of the cam groove 36a and is locked in place.

[0093] Next, when the hand leaves button 12, button 12 moves upward under the force of coil spring 12a and returns to its initial position. On the other hand, due to the upward movement of button 12, movable body 31 also moves slightly upward relative to sliding contact body 32 under the force of coil spring 37, and locking pin 34c is caught by the recess 361c of cam groove 36a. Thus, movable body 31 is latched. Furthermore, due to the upward movement of button 12, stop 35 disengages from the forward path of shaft 22d. Therefore, the energy stored in coil spring 33 is released, sliding contact body 32 moves downward relative to movable body 31, tilting sliding contact surface 320c slides into contact with the right end of shaft 22d, and shaft 22d moves to the left against the force of coil spring 23. Figure 9C Thus, gear 21f meshes with gear 21e, and through gears 21a to 21k, drives wheels 15 to rotate in the forward direction, thereby causing the toy railway vehicle 100 to move.

[0094] On the other hand, when the toy railway vehicle 100 is in motion, if button 12 is pressed downwards once, button 12 will abut against movable body 31 midway, overcoming the force of coil spring 37 and pressing movable body 31, and stop member 35 will move downwards. At this time, since shaft 22d is in the left position, the inclined sliding contact portion 35b of stop member 35 abuts against the outer periphery of shaft 22d, but stop member 35 is bent and retracted by spring portion 35a, and will not hinder the pressing of button 12. In addition, by pressing button 12, locking pin 34c disengages from recess 361c of cam groove 36a, and latch of movable body 31 is released.

[0095] Next, when the hand leaves button 12, button 12 and stop 35 move upwards under the force of coil spring 12a and return to their initial positions. Additionally, movable body 31, after the latch is released, moves upwards under the force of coil spring 37 and returns to its initial position. This upward movement of movable body 31 weakens the force accumulated in coil spring 33. As a result, shaft 22d moves to the right under the force of coil spring 23, disengaging gears 21f and 21e, making the railway vehicle toy 100 operable by hand. Furthermore, sliding contact 32 and movable body 31 return to their initial positions.

[0096] (Effects of the implementation method)

[0097] The railway vehicle toy 100 described above can achieve the following main effects.

[0098] That is, by operating the button 12, the sliding contact body 32 is activated via the coil spring 33, and the shaft 22d is moved by the sliding contact, so that gear 21f and gear 21e mesh. Therefore, even if the teeth of gear 21f and gear 21e interfere with each other, the impact is absorbed. The gears are pressed against each other with a moderate force until gear 21f and gear 21e mesh, which can effectively prevent gear breakage.

[0099] Furthermore, even when the teeth of gear 21f and gear 21e interfere with each other, the movable body 31 can be latched, so that the two can reliably engage even after the hand is removed from button 12.

[0100] Furthermore, if button 12 is operated while movable body 31 is in its initial position, stop 35 protrudes along the path of shaft 22d, preventing its movement. This causes coil spring 33 to store energy. Then, when the hand is removed from button 12, stop 35 retracts from the path of shaft 22d, and movable body 31 is latched. This allows the pre-stored force in coil spring 33 to engage gear 21f and gear 21e. Therefore, gear 21f and gear 21e can be stably engaged.

[0101] Furthermore, when the motor 18 operates before the latch of the movable body 31, gears 21a to 21e rotate, so gear 21f can easily mesh with gear 21e.

[0102] Furthermore, when the operating member 12 is operated to release the latch of the movable body 31, the stop member 35 abuts against the shaft 22d, but the inclined sliding contact portion 35b slides into contact with the shaft 22d and the spring portion 35a deflects and retracts, thereby allowing the stop member 35 to move downward, so as not to hinder the release of the latch of the movable body 31.

[0103] Furthermore, since the operating element is formed as button 12, it is easy to operate.

[0104] (Modified Example)

[0105] The embodiments of the present invention have been described above, but the present invention is not limited to the above embodiments, and various modifications can be made without changing its spirit.

[0106] For example, in the above embodiment, the application of the present invention to a railway vehicle toy 100 has been described, but the present invention can of course be applied to car toys and other moving toys, and generally to action toys that move via other gear mechanisms.

[0107] In addition, in the above embodiment, the gear engagement is disengaged at the first position in the direction in which force is applied to shaft 22d, and engaged at the second position, but it may also engage with other gears at the first position.

[0108] Furthermore, in the above embodiments, the case of moving the shaft axially to engage or disengage the gears is described, but the present invention can also be applied to cases where the shaft revolves around the sun gear, such as planetary gears.

[0109] Furthermore, in the above embodiment, the gear engagement is disengaged at the first position in the direction in which force is applied to shaft 22d, and engaged at the second position, but the present invention can also be applied in the opposite case.

The movable body is configured such that when it moves in one direction from the predetermined position by the operation of the operating member, it starts later than the operating member, so that the stop member can enter the forward path of the movable shaft before the movable body starts.

4. The action toy according to claim 3, characterized in that, The stop member is provided with a spring portion, which is used to cause the stop member to deflect from the forward path by sliding contact with the outer periphery of the movable shaft when the movable shaft is already in the second position during the operation of the operating member.

5. The action toy according to any one of claims 2 to 4, characterized in that, The action toy includes: a motor that actuates a gear mechanism that performs a predetermined action through the meshing of one gear and the other gears; and a leaf switch for activating the motor. The movable body is provided with a contact part, which abuts against the leaf switch when the movable body moves in one direction from the predetermined position, thereby turning on the leaf switch. The contact part abuts against the leaf switch during the period when the movable body is latched, thereby keeping the leaf switch in the on state. After the latch is released, when the movable body returns to the predetermined position, the contact with the leaf switch is released, thereby turning off the leaf switch.

6. The action toy according to any one of claims 2 to 4, characterized in that, The latching mechanism includes: a rotating member that can rotate on the movable body about a predetermined axis and has a locking pin at its front end; and a heart-shaped cam groove located on the fixed part of the action toy for engaging with the locking pin.

7. The action toy according to any one of claims 1 to 4, characterized in that, The action toy is equipped with a third helical spring, which uses a predetermined force to return the movable body to the predetermined position.
