[0005] Patent Document 1: Japanese Utility Model Publication No. 7-51118 Summary of the Invention
[0006] The problem that the invention aims to solve
[0007] However, the loading and unloading toys described in Patent Document 1 require separate unloading and loading areas. Furthermore, the need for separate unloading and loading mechanisms complicates the structure and operation.
[0008] In view of the above circumstances, the present invention aims to provide a loading and unloading toy with a simple structure that enables loading and unloading of loads in the same location.
[0009] means for solving problems
[0010] The first technical solution is a loading and unloading toy, which is a loading and unloading toy that allows a load to slide on a transport surface and loads and unloads the load, characterized in that...
[0011] The loading and unloading toy has the following features:
[0012] The loading and unloading component is configured to move forward and backward relative to the loading section through reciprocating motion in the front and back directions;
[0013] A loading / unloading component moving device that causes the loading / unloading component to reciprocate; and
[0014] The first engaging part is located within the fixing part.
[0015] The loading and unloading toy has the following features:
[0016] A wing, which is disposed on the housing of the loading and unloading component, is undulating relative to the housing;
[0017] A wing operating member having a second engaging portion that engages with the first engaging portion at the forward position of the loading and unloading member, thereby causing the wing to stand up from a folded position as an initial position through the engagement of the first engaging portion and the second engaging portion;
[0018] A flap locking mechanism includes a flap locking member configured to selectively acquire a first position and a second position relative to the housing as initial positions, and to move from the first position to the second position due to a reaction force from the load when the load is pushed forward. When the flap locking member is in the second position, the flap is tilted down, allowing the loading / unloading member to retract while the pushed-out load remains in the loading section. When the flap locking member is in the first position, the flap is locked in an upright position, and when the loading / unloading member retracts, the flap performs a prying action to remove the load.
[0019] A reset mechanism that returns the wing and the wing locking member to their initial positions when the loading / unloading component returns to the retracted position.
[0020] The second technical solution is based on the first technical solution, characterized in that the loading and unloading component is configured to perform forward and backward movements under the load.
[0021] The third technical solution, based on the first or second technical solution, is characterized in that:
[0022] A claw portion is provided at the base end of the winglet, and a third engaging portion is provided in the winglet locking mechanism to lock the claw portion.
[0023] The wing locking member is configured such that, when the wing locking member is in the first position, the third engaging portion is in a state where it enters the movement path of the claw due to the spring force; when the wing stands up, the third engaging portion temporarily disengages from the movement path due to the sliding contact of the claw; when the wing is in the standing state, the third engaging portion re-enters the movement path due to the spring force, preventing the claw from resetting; when the wing locking member is in the second position, the third engaging portion is in a state where it retracts from the movement path of the claw due to the spring force, allowing the standing wing to reset to the initial position.
[0024] The fourth technical solution, based on the third technical solution, is characterized in that:
[0025] The wing locking member and the housing are engaged with each other through an elongated hole in the housing in the front-rear direction and a pin that is vertically arranged in the wing locking member and can slide in the elongated hole. The pin constitutes a loading ejection part during loading.
[0026] The wing locking member is configured to slide in the elongated hole via the pin, and the wing locking member moves relative to the housing in the front-rear direction. When in the first position, the wing locking member can rotate about the pin.
[0027] The fifth technical solution, based on the fourth technical solution, is characterized in that:
[0028] A torsion spring wound around the boss is provided inside the housing.
[0029] One end of the torsion spring engages with the winglet operating member, and the other end engages with the winglet locking member.
[0030] The sixth technical solution is based on the fifth technical solution, characterized in that the loading part is formed in the driving toy, and a recess is formed on the bottom plate of the driving toy for the loading and unloading parts to be inserted.
[0031] Invention Effects
[0032] According to the first technical solution, the loading / unloading component is advanced during loading. As a result, the wing locking member moves from a first position, which is the initial position, to a second position due to the load, and the loading / unloading component is pulled back while leaving the load in the loading section.
[0033] On the other hand, when unloading, there is no load to be pushed out, so the wing locking member moves forward while maintaining the first position, the wing stands up, and its standing state is maintained. As a result, when the loading and unloading parts are reversed, the load loaded in the loading section is pushed out by the wing and unloaded.
[0034] Therefore, a loading and unloading toy with a simple and easy-to-operate structure is possible, enabling loading and unloading of goods in the same location.
[0035] This loading and unloading toy is not only a two-dimensional toy, but can also be installed on the side walls and ceiling of three-dimensional toys.
[0036] According to the second technical solution, since the loading and unloading component moves forward and backward under the load, it can easily be inserted into the base plate of track toys other than railway toys. That is, the loading and unloading toy is not limited to three-dimensional toys, but can also be applied to two-dimensional toys.
[0037] According to the third technical solution, the loading and unloading component is advanced during loading. As a result, the wing locking member moves from a first position, which is the initial position, to a second position due to the load. The load is transported to the loading section. Although the wing stands up if the first locking part engages with the second locking part, the wing locking member is in the second position. Therefore, the wing fails to maintain its upright state and falls down. As a result, the loading and unloading component is pulled back while leaving the load in the loading section.
[0038] On the other hand, when unloading, since there is no load to be pushed out, the wing locking member moves forward while maintaining the first position. If the first engaging part engages with the second engaging part, the wing stands up, and the wing locking member is in the first position, thus maintaining its standing state by the wing locking member. As a result, when the loading and unloading parts are reversed, the load loaded on the loading part is pushed out by the wing and unloaded.
[0039] According to the fourth technical solution, during loading, the load is pushed out by a pin, the pin slides in the elongated hole, and the wing locking component moves to the second position.
[0040] According to the fifth technical solution, the spring force applied to the winglet operating component and the winglet locking component can be achieved by a torsion spring.
[0041] According to the sixth technical solution, it is possible to load and unload the load on the loading section of the base plate of a toy. Attached Figure Description

[0062] Overall Structure
[0063] Figure 1 This is a 3D diagram representing Railway Toy 100. Figure 2 It is a 3D model of Toy 30 from the train station.
[0064] The railway toy 100 includes a car toy 10 that serves as a load, a cargo train toy 20 that constitutes the loading section of the car toy 10, and a train station toy 30 that constitutes the loading and unloading area 30a of the car toy 10.
[0065] The Structure of Various Toys
[0066] <Car Toys 10>
[0067] The toy car 10 moves by being rolled by hand. In one embodiment, the toy car 10 serves as a load to be carried. However, the load to be carried is not limited to the toy car 10. For example, it could also be a box-shaped load.
[0068] <Toy Train for Freight Trains 20>
[0069] Figure 3 This is a 3D model of Toy Train 20. Figure 4 It is a three-dimensional view of the rear side of locomotive 21.
[0070] The toy freight train 20 consists of three cars, namely a locomotive 21 at the front and freight cars 22a and 22b (collectively referred to as 22 in the attached diagram) pulled by the locomotive 21. Of course, the number of freight cars 22 being pulled is not limited to two.
[0071] Although not shown in the diagram, the locomotive 21 contains a battery that serves as a power source, a motor that serves as a power source, and a gear set that transmits the motor power to the drive wheel 21a. In addition, under the chassis of the locomotive 21, there is an engagement part 23 that engages with the first stop 32a and the second stop 32b of the track 31 (described later) to stop the toy freight train 20.
[0072] Figure 5 It is a three-dimensional view of freight cars 22a and 22b being pulled by locomotive 21.
[0073] Each truck 22 is a container truck. The left wall 24a and the roof wall 24b of each truck 22 form a door 24, configured to open and close vertically relative to the main body 25 via hinges (not shown). In addition, a protrusion 24c protruding to the right of the truck 22 is formed in front of the base end of the door 24. This protrusion 24c can engage with the guide portion 40 of the wall portion 38, which will be described later.
[0074] Each truck 22 has a recess 27 formed in its floor plate 26, through which the loading / unloading component 37 (described later) can be inserted. The recess 27 is exposed when the door 24 is opened to receive the loading / unloading component 37. The recess 27 has openings on the side and top of the floor plate 26. In addition, the opening on the right wall (reference numerals omitted) is sized to be able to return to its original size even if the flap 44 (described later) is erected.
[0075] Furthermore, the floor plate 26 of each truck 22 constitutes a loading section for loading the toy car 10, and the toy car 10 is accommodated with its front and rear wheels spanning the recess 27. In addition, the upper surface of the floor plate 26 of the truck 22 and the upper surface of the floor plate of the loading and unloading area 30a constitute a loading surface for the loaded object (toy car 10), and are formed to be flush.
[0076] <Train Station Toys 30>
[0077] 1. Appearance and Structure
[0078] In the train station toy 30, the track 31 for the freight train toy 20 to travel on is configured to extend in a left-right direction. A first stop 32a and a second stop 32b are provided on the track 31 at predetermined intervals. Additionally, rollers 33a and 33b are provided on either side of the first stop 32a and the second stop 32b on the track 31 to allow the drive wheel 21a to idle when the freight train toy 20 is stopped (see reference). Figure 11 ).
[0079] Additionally, in the train station toy 30, a passageway 34 for the passage of the car toy 10 is provided near the front side of the track 31. The passageway 34 is used to guide the car toy 10 into or out of the loading / unloading area 30a. A stopper 35 is provided in the passageway 34 to stop the car toy 10 at the loading / unloading position.
[0080] Furthermore, in the train station toy 30, a forklift model 36 is detachably installed at the loading / unloading area 30a. The forklift model 36 is located near the front of the passageway 34, with its front facing the rail 31. Further, in the train station toy 30, a loading / unloading component 37 is provided between the forklift model 36 and the rail 31. The forklift model 36 and the loading / unloading component 37 can move together in a forward / backward direction relative to the rail 31. Additionally, in the train station toy 30, a wall portion 38 is erected opposite the loading / unloading area 30a across the rail 31.
[0081] In the wall portion 38, a recess 38a is provided at a position corresponding to the recess 27 of the truck 22. When the loading and unloading member 37 moves forward, the front end of the loading and unloading member 37 is inserted into the recess 38a. On the inner side of the recess 38a, an abutment portion (first engaging portion) 39 is formed for the protrusion 45a to abut against, as described later.
[0082] A guide portion 40 is formed in the wall portion 38 to engage with the tab 24c of the freight car 22. The height of the guide portion 40 decreases as it travels forward toward the freight train toy 20. When the freight car 22 enters the loading / unloading area 30a, the lower surface of the guide portion 40 slides against the upper surface of the tab 24c of the freight car 22, causing the door 24 to open. Furthermore, when the freight car 22 leaves the loading / unloading area 30a, the guide portion 40 disengages from the tab 24c, causing the door 24 to close by its own weight.
[0083] In addition, in the train station toy 30, a handle 41a is attached to the left side of the loading and unloading area 30a, a button 41b is attached to the center, and a joystick 41c is attached to the right side.
[0084] The handle 41a can rotate in the vertical direction and can be in three positions: upper, middle and lower.
[0085] When the handle 41a is in the upper position, the first stop 32a protrudes from the upper surface of the track 31, and the second stop 32b retracts from the upper surface of the track 31. As a result, the truck 22a is positioned opposite the loading / unloading member 37. At this time, the door 24 of the truck 22a is open.
[0086] Furthermore, when the handle 41a is in the middle position, the second stop 32b protrudes from the upper surface of the track 31, and the first stop 32a retracts from the upper surface of the track 31. As a result, the next truck 22b is positioned opposite the loading / unloading member 37. At this time, the door 24 of the truck 22b is opened.
[0087] Additionally, when the handle 41a is in the lower position, the first stop 32a and the second stop 32b retract from the upper surface of the track 31. As a result, the cargo train toy 20 departs.
[0088] When button 41b is pressed, it causes stop 35 to retract from the surface of passage 34. If a finger is removed from button 41b, stop 35 automatically protrudes from the surface.
[0089] The joystick 41c can rotate left and right, and is normally located on the left. If the joystick 41c is moved to the right, the forklift model 36 and the loading / unloading component 37 move towards the track 31. If the finger is removed from the joystick 41c, the forklift model 36 and the loading / unloading component 37 move backward and automatically return to their original positions.
[0090] 2. Internal structure
[0091] (1) Loading and unloading parts 37
[0092] Figure 6 This is a three-dimensional view obtained by observing the loading and unloading component 37 from the right side.
[0093] The loading / unloading component 37 has a housing 43. The housing 43 is rod-shaped. The width of the loading / unloading component 37 is smaller than the wheelbase of the toy car 10. When loading or unloading, the front and rear wheels of the toy car 10 ride on the mounting surface by crossing the loading / unloading component 37.
[0094] A flap 44 is provided on the upper surface of the front end of the housing 43. The flap 44 is configured to rotate about a shaft 44a and to be able to stand upright relative to the housing 43 by rotation. When the loading / unloading member 37 is moved forward, the flap 44 moves into the position until it exceeds the loading section.
[0095] Figure 7 This is a perspective view showing the internal mechanism of the loading and unloading component 37. Figure 8 This is a bottom view of the internal mechanism of the loading and unloading component 37.
[0096] Furthermore, at the base end of the wing 44, a pin 44b parallel to the shaft 44a is provided at a position eccentric to the shaft 44a. Further, a triangular claw portion 44c is provided at the base end of the wing 44.
[0097] A wing operating member 45 is provided next to the wing 44, which allows the wing 44 to rotate around an axis 44a to stand up or fall down. This wing operating member 45 is configured to move in the front-rear direction, and has a protrusion (second engaging portion) 45a at its front end that can move in and out from the front end face of the housing 43. Additionally, a C-shaped engaging portion 45b is provided on the wing operating member 45, and the aforementioned pin 44b engages at the opening edge of the engaging portion 45b. The wing operating member 45 moves in the front-rear direction relative to the housing 43, thereby causing the wing 44 to fall down or stand up. Furthermore, one end 46a of a torsion spring 46 (described later) is engaged at the rear end of the wing operating member 45, and the protrusion 45a protrudes from the front end face of the housing 43 due to the force of the torsion spring 46.
[0098] Additionally, inside the housing 43, a swing plate 47 constituting a wing locking member is provided at the rear position of the wing 44.
[0099] A pin 47a is attached to the rear end of the swing plate 47, and the upper and lower parts of the pin 47a engage with the elongated hole 48 of the housing 43. By sliding the pin 47a within the elongated hole 48, the swing plate 47 can move back and forth within the housing 43 and can rotate about the pin 47a. A boss 49 (see reference) is attached to the swing plate 47 at an adjacent location. Figure 8 The other end 46b of the torsion spring 46 wound on the pin 47a. Furthermore, when the pin 47a is in the front end position of the elongated hole 48, the engaging portion 47c of the front end of the swing plate 47 is in a position that can engage with the claw portion 44c of the wing 44. That is, when the pin 47a is in the front end position of the elongated hole 48, the engaging portion 47c of the front end of the swing plate 47 is located in the movement path of the claw portion 44c of the wing 44.
[0100] Furthermore, whenever a portion of the other end of the torsion spring 46 bends, the swing plate 47 moves back and forth, causing the protrusion 47d of the swing plate 47 to pass over its bend 46d, thereby selectively holding the pin 47a at the front and rear positions of the elongated hole 48, that is, selectively holding the swing plate 47 at a first forward position and a second rearward position. This holding can also be achieved by a leaf spring disposed in the housing 43. Alternatively, the sliding resistance between the pin 47a and the edge of the elongated hole 48 can also be utilized.
[0101] Figure 9 This is a three-dimensional view obtained by observing the internal mechanism of the loading / unloading component 37 and the reset mechanism 50 from the right side.
[0102] A tab 47b is provided near the pin 47a of the swing plate 47. This tab 47b protrudes from the side of the housing 43. On the other hand, as... Figure 9 As shown, a stop 50a is fixedly provided beside the moving path of the loading / unloading component 37, which is abutted by the aforementioned protrusion 47b when the loading / unloading component 37 retracts. The protrusion 47b and the stop 50a constitute a reset mechanism 50.
[0103] When the loading / unloading component 37 retracts, the stop 50a is abutted by the protrusion 47b. When the swing plate 47 is in the rear position, it pushes the swing plate 47 forward and causes the swing plate 47 to rotate around the pin 47a. When the engaging part 47c engages with the claw part 44c of the wing 44, the engagement is released.
[0104] On the upper surface of housing 43, such as Figure 6 As shown, a boss 51 is erected immediately behind the elongated hole 48. A forklift model 36 is detachably mounted on this boss 51.
[0105] Figure 10 This is a three-dimensional view of the forklift model 36 taken from below.
[0106] A hole 36a is formed under the body of the forklift model 36. The hole 36a of the forklift model 36 fits into the aforementioned boss 51, thereby allowing the forklift model 36 to be detachably mounted to the housing 43.
[0107] The forklift model 36's backrest 36b is configured to move within a predetermined range relative to the main body of the forklift model 36. Furthermore, when the forklift model 36 is mounted on the housing 43, a pin 47a is disposed between the backrest 36b and the main body of the forklift model 36. When loading, the backrest 36b acts as a push plate to push out the load (toy car 10). During loading, the backrest 36b moves towards the main body due to the reaction force from the load, causing the pin 47a to move from the front position of the elongated hole 48 to the rear position.
[0108] (2) Parking mechanism for toy freight train 20
[0109] Figure 11 This is a 3D diagram showing the parking mechanism of the toy freight train 20. Figure 12 This is a bottom view showing the parking mechanism of the toy freight train 20.
[0110] The parking mechanism of the freight train toy 20 is activated by operating the handle 41a.
[0111] The handle 41a rotates vertically about the axis 52a. Near the base of the handle 41a, there is a positioning device 52 that positions the handle 41a in an upper, middle, and lower position with a click-like feel.
[0112] The handle 41a engages at an eccentric position at its base end with the rear end of the slider 53, which can move in the front-back direction. On the other hand, the front end of the slider 53 engages with the right end of the slider 54, which is located below the track 31 and can move in the left-right direction. Specifically, a guide groove 53a inclined relative to the front-back direction is formed at the front end of the slider 53, and a pin 54d of the slider 54 engages in this guide groove 53a. Therefore, if the slider 53 moves in the front-back direction, the slider 54 moves in the left-right direction.
[0113] The edge wall 54a of the slider 54 hangs down relative to the body of the slider 54, and recesses 54b and 54c are formed in the edge wall 54a. On the other hand, a first rotating member 55 and a second rotating member 56 are provided adjacent to the slider 54.
[0114] The first rotating member 55 is configured to rotate vertically about a shaft 55a and is subjected to an upward force by a helical spring 55b. A first stop 32a is provided at the front end of the first rotating member 55. A protrusion 55c is formed on the first rotating member 55, which slides against the edge wall 54a of the slider 54 from the lower side. Moreover, when the protrusion 55c engages with the recess 54b, the first stop 32a protrudes from the upper surface of the track 31.
[0115] On the other hand, the second rotating member 56 is configured to rotate vertically about the axis 56a and is subjected to an upward force by the helical spring 56b. A second stop 32b is provided at the front end of the second rotating member 56. A protrusion 56c is formed on the second rotating member 56 that slides against the edge wall 54a of the slider 54 from the lower side. Moreover, when the protrusion 56c engages with the recess 54c, the second stop 32a protrudes from the upper surface of the track 31.
[0116] 3. Parking mechanism for toy cars 10
[0117] Figure 13 This is a top view showing the parking mechanism of the toy car 10 and the moving mechanism of the loading and unloading component 37.
[0118] The parking mechanism of the toy car 10 is activated by the operation of button 41b. Button 41b is located near the base of a rotating member 57 that rotates vertically about axis 57a. A stop 35 is also provided at the front end of the rotating member 57. The rotating member 57 is subjected to an upward force by a coil spring (not shown), and the stop 35 normally protrudes from the surface of the passageway 34. Furthermore, the stop 35 retracts from the surface of the passageway 34 only when button 41b is pressed.
[0119] 4. Moving mechanism of loading and unloading component 37
[0120] The moving mechanism of the loading / unloading component 37 is operated by the lever 41c. The lever 41c is located at one end of the connecting rod 58, which rotates left and right around the shaft 58a. Furthermore, the operating power of the lever 41c is transmitted to the loading / unloading component 37 via the connecting rods 58, 59, and 60. The connecting rods 59 and 60 are connected by a torsion spring (not shown) and rotate integrally around the shaft 61. The connecting rod 60 and the loading / unloading component 37 are connected by an elongated hole 60a formed in the connecting rod 60 and a pin 37a (see reference) under the loading / unloading component 37. Figure 6 The cards are connected together.
[0121] Furthermore, a coil spring 62 is engaged between the connecting rod 60 and the fixing part. This coil spring 62 serves to pull back the loading / unloading component 37, which has advanced due to the operation of the operating lever 41c. Additionally, Figure 13 In the figure, reference numeral 63 indicates the sound-producing mechanism that emits mechanical sounds.
[0122] (The action of loading and unloading part 37)
[0123] Figure 14 This is a side view of loading and unloading component 37 during the loading process. Figure 15 This is a top view showing the state of the wing locking component 47 during loading.
[0124] During loading, the forklift model 36's backrest 36b pushes out the toy car 10, but due to the reaction force from the toy car 10, the backrest 36b tilts towards the main body of the forklift model 36. As a result, the pin 47a is pressed and moves rearward, the wing locking member 47 moves to a second rearward position, and the engaging portion 47c of the wing locking member 47 disengages from the movement path of the claw portion 44c of the wing 44. Therefore, even when the protrusion 45a abuts against the contact portion 39, the wing 44 is not held in an upright position.
[0125] That is, when the wing locking member 47 is in the rear position, the locking part 47c is in a state of retraction from the movement path of the claw part 44c due to the force of the spring, allowing the wing 44 that has been raised to return to the initial position, so the wing 44 is not held in the raised state.
[0126] In this case, the load (toy car 10) pushed out by the rack 36b moves to the inside of the loading section (the position that abuts against the right wall of the truck 22) due to inertia after the loading and unloading unit 37 moves forward and stops. Moreover, since the flap 44 does not remain in the upright state, the loading and unloading unit 37 returns to its original position while leaving the loaded load in the loading section.
[0127] Figure 16 This is a side view of loading and unloading component 37 during unloading. Figure 17 This is a top view showing the state of the wing locking component 47 during unloading.
[0128] On the other hand, during unloading, the toy car 10 is not pushed by the forklift model 36's backrest 36b, so the backrest 36b is positioned away from the main body of the forklift model 36. Thus, it moves forward while the pin 47a remains in the forward position. At this time, the engaging portion 47c of the wing locking member 47 is in the movement path of the claw portion 44c of the wing 44, so if the protrusion 45a abuts against the abutment portion 39, the wing 44 is held in an upright position.
[0129] That is, when the wing locking member 47 is in the forward position, the engaging part 47c enters the movement path of the claw part 44c due to the spring force. When the wing 44 stands up, the engaging part 47c overcomes the spring force and temporarily exits the movement path due to the sliding contact of the claw part 44c. When the wing 44 is in the standing state, the engaging part 47c re-enters the movement path due to the spring force, preventing the claw part 44c from resetting. Therefore, the wing 44 is kept in the standing state.
[0130] In this case, there is a load in the loading section on the inside side of the loading section (the position that abuts against the right wall of the truck 22), and the loading and unloading component 37 uses the flap 44, which is kept in the upright position, to remove the load and return it to its original position.
[0131] (Modified Example)
[0132] The above describes the embodiments of the present invention, but it can be used in variations as follows.
[0133] For example, in the above embodiment, the first engaging portion is set as the abutment portion 39, and the second engaging portion is set as the protrusion portion 45a. However, the first engaging portion and the second engaging portion can also be set as sliding contact portions that engage with each other. In short, as long as the second engaging portion is engaged with the first engaging portion, the second engaging portion can be actuated by the force exerted on the first engaging portion. In addition, the second engaging portion may not be provided at the front end of the housing 43.
