Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to a traveling toy. Background Art

[0002] In the prior art, a driving toy including a seat portion and a steering wheel and imitating a car is known. For example, Patent Document 1 discloses a driving toy imitating a left-hand drive car, in which a steering wheel is provided at a portion facing the seat portion. The driving toy is provided with a counterweight at the front end, and the counterweight is formed as a joint portion detachably attached to the engine hood.

[0003] Patent Document 1: JPS60-010699U Summary of the invention

[0004] In fact, depending on whether cars drive on the right or the left, left-hand drive cars are the mainstream in some countries and right-hand drive cars are the mainstream in some countries. Therefore, even for a driving toy imitating a car, there is a case where a user may want to use right-hand drive when playing the game assuming a country where cars drive on the left, and want to use left-hand drive when playing the game assuming a country where cars drive on the right. In the driving toys of the prior art, since left-hand drive and right-hand drive cannot be easily switched, the fun of the game is sometimes reduced.

[0005] An object of the present disclosure is to provide a traveling toy that can be easily switched between left rudder and right rudder.

[0006] According to aspects of the present disclosure, a traveling toy includes: a seat portion; an attachment portion, which is arranged to face the seat portion; and a panel component, which is detachably attached to the attachment portion, and the panel component includes: a panel body, which is formed into an elongated shape that is point-symmetrical when viewed from the front surface of the panel body; and a steering wheel, which is arranged on the front surface while being offset from the center position in the length direction of the panel body.

[0007] According to the above aspect, it is possible to provide a traveling toy that can easily switch between left rudder and right rudder. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0014] Embodiments of the present disclosure will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings. Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the traveling toy 1 has a shape imitating a four-wheeled car as a convertible. The vehicle interior 40 is formed by a vehicle interior component 41. In the vehicle interior 40, a seat portion 10 is provided. The seat portion 10 is composed of two seats on the front side and two seats on the rear side. In the vehicle interior 40, a panel component 20 is provided, which faces the seat portion 10 and includes a steering wheel 21. Note that in the following description, the front side of the traveling toy 1 as a car is referred to as the front, the rear side is referred to as the rear, the upper side is referred to as the upper side, and the lower side is referred to as the lower side. In addition, when viewed from the state of sitting on the seat portion 10 facing the steering wheel 21, that is, the driver's seat, the left side will be described as the left, and the right side will be described as the right.

[0015] The seat portion 10 of the traveling toy 1 includes two front seat portions 11 located at the front side and two rear seat portions 12 located at the rear side. On the left side of the rear seat portion 12, a toy baby carriage 18 imitating a baby carriage is provided. The toy baby carriage 18 is provided with wheels (not shown), can be freely attached and detached relative to the rear seat portion 12, and can be attached to the rear seat portion 12 by hooking the handle portion onto the headrest of the rear seat portion 12. Figure 1 In the embodiment, the left front seat portion 11L is a driver's seat, and the right front seat portion 11R is a passenger seat.

[0016] The front wheels 2 and the rear wheels 3 of the running toy 1 are arranged to be freely rotatable. The running toy 1 does not have a driving source. The running toy 1 is formed as a running toy for a doll game, which is played by placing a small doll on a seat portion 10 and pushing it by hand.

[0017] The panel member 20 provided with the steering wheel 21 is detachably attached to the attachment portion 30 (see FIG. 1 ) disposed opposite to the seat portion 10. Figure 2 ,3 and 5). The panel member 20 is formed into an elongated shape that is long in the left-right direction. Figure 3 As shown, the panel member 20 can be attached to the attachment portion 30 in a left-right inverted manner. This makes it possible to attach the running toy 1 ( Figure 1 and Figure 2 ) is changed to a moving toy 1 that simulates a right-hand drive car ( Figure 3 ).

[0018] like Figure 4A and 4B As shown, the panel component 20 has a front plate 22. In addition, the panel component 20 has two top plates 23 and 24 of the same shape and arranged facing each other. The front plate 22 is formed into a generally long rectangular plate with the left-right direction as the length direction and the up-down direction as the width direction. The top plates 23 and 24 are both formed into a generally long rectangular plate with the left-right direction as the length direction and the front-to-back direction as the width direction. The front plate 22 is arranged with the plate surface facing the front-to-back direction. The top plates 23 and 24 are arranged with the plate surfaces facing the up-down direction. Here, Figure 4A The surface to which the steering wheel 21 is attached is shown as the front surface 25, and as shown in FIG. Figure 4B As shown, the opposite surface is the rear surface 26. The panel member 20 is attached to the attachment portion 30 in a state where the rear surface 26 faces the front side.

[0019] Edges 23a and 24a of the top plates 23 and 24 on the front surface 25 side are curved into gentle arcs that protrude toward the front surface 25 side when viewed from the top and bottom directions. Edges 23b and 24b of the top plates 23 and 24 on the rear surface 26 side are formed into straight lines.

[0020] like Figure 4A As shown, the front plate 22 is formed into a generally arc shape with a center portion slightly bulging up and down. The front plate 22 is connected to the top plates 23 and 24 while being sandwiched by the top plates 23 and 24 in the up and down direction (the width direction of the front plate 22). Therefore, the top plates 23 and 24 also imitate the shape of the upper and lower edges of the front plate 22, and are formed into a generally arc shape with a center portion slightly bulging up and down when viewed from the front-back direction.

[0021] The front plate 22 is arranged at a position closer to the rear surface 26 side than the edges 23a and 24a on the front surface 25 side of the top plates 23 and 24. Therefore, the edges 23a and 24a protrude toward the front surface 25 side relative to the plate surface on the front surface 25 side of the front plate 22, and the protruding portions relative to the plate surface on the front surface 25 side of the front plate 22 are formed as protrusions 23c and 24c (see also Figure 2 and Figure 3 ). The left and right edges of the front plate 22 are formed with rib-shaped protruding edges 27 that connect the top plates 23 and 24. The protruding edges 27 protrude relative to the plate surface on the front surface 25 side of the front plate 22. Figure 4BAs shown, the protrusion amount of the protruding edge portion 27 from the plate surface on the front surface 25 side of the front plate 22 is smaller than the protrusion amounts of the protruding portions 23 c and 24 c from the plate surface on the front surface 25 side of the front plate 22 .

[0022] A plate-shaped locking portion 28 is provided between the upper cutout portion 28a and the lower cutout portion 28a on the rear surface 26 side of the left protruding edge portion 27 and the right protruding edge portion 27, respectively. The locking portion 28 is provided in a direction that makes the plate surface face the left-right direction, and applies elastic force in the left-right direction. At the end of the locking portion 28, a locking protrusion 28b protruding outward is provided. The left and right surfaces of the panel component 20 are generally flat, but slightly protrude near the base of the locking portion 28. In addition, between the top plates 23 and 24, two vertical ribs 220 connected to the top plates 23 and 24 are provided on the rear surface 26 side of the front plate 22.

[0023] like Figure 4A As shown, a small circular portion 22a protruding in a circular ring shape is provided at the approximate center in the left-right direction of the front surface 25 side of the front plate 22. On the left and right sides of the small circular portion 22a, a large circular portion 22b is provided, which protrudes in a circular ring shape similar to the small circular portion 22a and has a larger diameter than the small circular portion 22a. The small circular portion 22a and the two large circular portions 22b represent the periphery surrounding the automobile instrument.

[0024] In addition, a radio section 22c representing a radio is provided next to the large circular section 22b on the opposite side of the steering wheel 21. The radio section 22c includes three circular protrusions 22c1 protruding in a circular shape, representing knobs such as radio volume or tuner, and the three circular protrusions 22c1 are arranged side by side in the left-right direction. At positions corresponding to the up-down direction of the three circular protrusions 22c1 ( Figure 4A A rectangular recess 22c2 is provided at the lower side of the left and right sides of the display. The recess 22c2 represents a window for radio tuning. Figure 4B As shown, a rectangular protrusion 22c21 extending in the left-right direction is formed on the rear surface 26 side corresponding to the recess 22c2. Thus, even if the recess 22c2 is provided, the recess 22c2 can be provided without making the thickness of a part of the recess 22c2 extremely thin.

[0025] In this way, the surface on the front surface 25 side of the front plate 22 is constructed as a car panel surface. Note that when switching the left and right steering, the radio section 22c is turned upside down, but whether the knob such as the volume (circular protrusion 22c1) is arranged on the upper side or the lower side of the window section (recess 22c2) for radio tuning, a design without discomfort is formed because both can exist in a real car.

[0026] The steering wheel 21 has a shaft portion 21a divided into two branches. The shaft portion 21a has a hook-shaped tip and is inserted into a steering wheel bearing portion 22d protruding in a substantially cylindrical shape on the rear surface 26 side of the front plate 22. Thus, the steering wheel 21 is rotatably held by the front plate 22.

[0027] Here, the panel body 200 of the panel member 20 includes a front plate 22 and top plates 23 and 24. When viewed from the front, the panel body 200 is formed in a point-symmetrical elongated shape (see FIG. Figure 4A ). In addition, the steering wheel 21 is arranged in a state deviated from the center position CL (approximately the center of the small circular portion 22a) in the longitudinal direction (left-right direction) of the panel body 200 (in other words, offset to the left or right from the center position CL in the left-right direction).

[0028] like Figure 5 As shown, the attachment portion 30 is formed into a generally concave shape that is open on the side of the seat portion 10. The attachment portion 30 has a front surface 30a, a lower surface 30b, a left side surface 30c, and a right side surface 30d. The left side surface 30c and the right side surface 30d are respectively connected to the front surface 30a and the lower surface 30b. The lower surface 30b is formed into a generally arc shape, and when viewed from the front-back direction, the approximately central portion of the arc in the left-right direction bulges downward, which is consistent with the top plates 23 and 24 of the panel member 20 to be attached. The front surface 30a, the left side surface 30c, and the right side surface 30d are flat surfaces.

[0029] The locking hole portions 31 having long openings in the up-down direction are respectively provided at the corners where the left side surface 30c and the front surface 30a are connected and the corners where the right side surface 30d and the front surface 30a are connected. Figure 5 , only the locking hole portion 31 on the left side surface 30c side is shown. In addition, the tongue-shaped main body locking portion 32 provided at the substantially center in the left-right direction of the front surface 30a is a locking portion for attaching the vehicle interior component 41 to the main body 7 of the traveling toy 1. Here, the vehicle interior component 41 includes the attachment portion 30 and the seat portion 10.

[0030] Openings 33 having a semicircular upper side are provided on the left and right sides of the body locking portion 32. Thus, elastic force is given to the plate-like portion between the locking hole portion 31 and the opening 33, so that the panel member 20 can be easily attached and removed.

[0031] The attachment portion 30 is provided in a concave shape, and its length matches the length of the panel member 20 in the longitudinal direction of the panel body 200. That is, the length between the left side surface 30c and the right side surface 30d is substantially the same as the length in the longitudinal direction of the top plates 23 and 24 (the length between the outer side of the left protruding edge portion 27 and the outer side of the right protruding edge portion 27). In addition, the length in the width direction of the lower surface 30b of the attachment portion 30 (that is, the length of the left side surface 30c and the right side surface 30d in the front-rear direction) is substantially the same as the length in the width direction of the top plates 23 and 24 (the length of the side surface of the panel body 200 in the front-rear direction).

[0032] The panel member 20 can be attached to the attachment portion 30 as a left-hand steering specification with the steering wheel 21 on the left side. By rotating the panel member 20 180 degrees around the normal direction of the front plate 22, the panel member can be attached to the attachment portion 30 as a right-hand steering specification with the steering wheel 21 on the right side. In addition, the upper surfaces of the left side surface 30c and the right side surface 30d connected to the attachment portion 30 are formed as arc surfaces 30c1 and 30d1. In other words, the arc surfaces 30c1 and 30d1 are provided on the side of the attachment portion 30. The arc surfaces 30c1 and 30d1 are continuous with the top plate 23 or the top plate 24 of the panel member 20 attached to the attachment portion 30.
