[0013] Embodiments of the present disclosure will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings. Figure 1 The traveling toy 1 shown forms the image of a spaceship by providing a balloon part (not shown). The traveling toy 1 has a traveling toy body 10 formed in the shape of imitating a ship. The traveling toy body 10 is a three-wheeled type having a front wheel 11 and two rear wheels 12 (wheels). A fender 12a is provided above the rear wheels 12. Access to the rear wheels 12 by fingers is restricted by the fender 12a. The traveling toy body 10 is provided with a swing member 30 that imitates a wing shape and is configured to be swingable through an axle support structure 20. Note that the axle support structure 20 includes a support portion 21 (bearing portion 21a), an axle support portion 22 (swing shaft 22a) and a protrusion 25, which will be described below.

[0014] like Figure 2 As shown, the swing member 30 is substantially flat, has a wing-shaped outer profile, and includes a swing member body 31, the upper surface of which is provided with a wing-shaped (not shown). A peripheral wall 31a in the shape of an annular wall is provided on the outer peripheral edge of the swing member body 31 so as to stand upright downward. Two reinforcing ribs 32 having a wave shape are provided on the lower surface of the swing member body 31 to span the opposite peripheral walls 31a. The swing member body 31 is provided with an opening portion 33 penetrated in a generally rectangular shape. The opening portion 33 is covered by a cover 34, and the cover 34 is attached from the upper surface side of the swing member body 31 using three boss holes 35. The outer edge of the opening portion 33 of the swing member body 31 is provided with a support plate 36 protruding downward in a mountain shape.

[0015] The opening 33 is provided with a coupling shaft 37. The coupling shaft 37 is provided between the support plate 36 and the peripheral wall 31a facing the support plate 36. The axis CL3 of the coupling shaft 37 is substantially parallel to the axis CL1 of the wheel axle 13 (rotation axis) of the rear wheel 12 (see FIG. Figure 4 ).

[0016] The peripheral wall 31a of the swing member body 31 on the side of the moving toy body 10 is provided with two support portions 21 so as to protrude in a plate shape. Each support portion 21 is provided with a bearing portion 21a formed as a through hole. The bearing portion 21a is configured to allow the following swing shaft 22a (see Figure 3 ) is detachably fitted thereto and supports the swing shaft 22a so that the swing member 30 can swing freely around the axis CL2. In the present embodiment, the bearing portion 21a is formed as a through hole, but it can also be formed as a recessed portion formed on the outer surface of the support portion 21 (the surface facing the swing shaft 22a).

[0017] A protrusion 25 for entry restriction is provided between the two support portions 21. A slit 26 of a predetermined interval is formed between the protrusion 25 and the support portion 21. The protrusion 25 is formed in a substantially cylindrical shape.

[0018] like Figure 3 As shown, two opposing shaft support portions 22 are protrudingly provided on the side surface 15 of the traveling toy body 10. The shaft support portion 22 is formed to be thicker than the support portion 21 provided on the swing member 30. Each shaft support portion 22 has a swing shaft 22a of a protruding shape provided on an opposing surface 22a1 of each opposing shaft support portion 22. The swing shaft 22a has a terminal end surface formed in a spherical shape.

[0019] The swing shaft 22a is fitted to the bearing portion 21a of the support portion 21 of the swing member 30. The support portion 21 in which the bearing portion 21a is provided is formed in a plate shape, and the shaft support portion 22 on which the swing shaft 22a is provided is formed to have a thick thickness. Therefore, when the swing shaft 22a and the bearing portion 21a are fitted and disassembled, the support portion 21 is bent. In addition, when the swing member 30 is attached to the traveling toy body 10, the protrusion 25 is used to restrict the entry of foreign matter such as fingers, reducing the risk of fingers and the like being caught between the side surface 15 of the traveling toy body 10 and the swing member 30 (peripheral wall 31a).

[0020] Note that the support portion 21 and the shaft support portion 22 may be configured such that the support portion 21 is formed thicker than the shaft support portion 22, allowing the shaft support portion 22 to bend. In addition, the traveling toy body 10 side (the shaft support portion 22 side) may be configured as the bearing side, and the swing member 30 (the support portion 21 side) may be configured as the shaft side.

[0021] like Figure 4 As shown, the rear wheel 12 is provided with an eccentric shaft 18, the axis CL4 of the eccentric shaft 18 is parallel to the axis CL1 of the wheel axle 13 of the rear wheel 12, and is spaced apart from the axis CL1 in the radial direction of the rear wheel 12. One end 40a of a link member 40 having a substantially elongated shape is rotatably coupled to the eccentric shaft 18. Specifically, the eccentric shaft 18 is formed in a pin shape having a head 18a, and is fixed to the rear wheel 12. One end 40a of the link member 40 has a hole rotatably engaged with the shaft portion of the pin-shaped eccentric shaft 18.

[0022] In addition, the other end 40b of the link member 40 forms a substantially C-shaped ring having a gap 41. The other end 40b is configured so that the coupling shaft 37 of the swing member 30 is pushed thereinto from the gap 41, thereby widening the gap 41 and allowing rotatable coupling with the coupling shaft 37, as shown in FIG. Figure 1 The link member 40 couples the eccentric shaft 18 and the coupling shaft 37 provided on the swing member 30. The other end 40b of the link member 40 is detachably coupled to the coupling shaft 37.

[0023] When the rear wheel 12 rotates by running the traveling toy 1, the swing member 30 swings around the axis CL2 through the link member 40, while the eccentric shaft 18 rotates around the wheel axle 13. The swing members 30 are respectively provided on both side surfaces 15 of the traveling toy body 10 so that they operate like wings in motion.

[0024] Here, the traveling toy 1 is configured such that when the swing member 30 is pulled upward, the gap 41 of the other end 40b of the link member 40 widens, allowing the separation between the other end 40b and the coupling shaft 37. Therefore, damage to the traveling toy body 10, the swing member 30 (coupling shaft 37), the link member 40, the rear wheel 12, etc. can be reduced.

[0025] In addition, when the swing member 30 is pushed downward, the coupling portion between the other end 40b of the link member 40 and the coupling shaft 37 becomes a support point, and the support portion 21 side is lifted, thereby releasing the fit between the swing shaft 22a and the bearing portion 21a of the shaft support structure 20. Therefore, even when the swing member 30 is pushed downward, damage to the traveling toy body 10, the swing member 30 (coupling shaft 37), the link member 40, the rear wheel 12, etc. can be reduced.

[0026] According to the above-described embodiments of the present disclosure, a running toy of the following aspects can be provided.

[0027] According to the first aspect of the present disclosure, a traveling toy comprises: a traveling toy body, comprising a wheel, which can rotate around a rotation axis; an eccentric shaft, which is arranged on the wheel in a state parallel to the rotation axis and spaced apart from the rotation axis; a swinging member, which is swingably and detachably arranged on the traveling toy body through an axis supporting structure, the swinging member comprising a connecting shaft; and a connecting rod member connecting the eccentric shaft and the connecting shaft, wherein the connecting rod member is detachably connected to the connecting shaft.

[0028] By this configuration, even when a force is forcibly applied in the swing direction of the swing member, the shaft support structure, the coupling shaft and the coupling portion of the link member are loosened. Therefore, a traveling toy can be provided in which damage to a movable member attached to a traveling toy body is reduced.

[0029] In the moving toy according to the second aspect, the shaft support structure includes: a swing shaft arranged on the moving toy body, the swing shaft having a protruding shape and opposite to each other, and two support parts arranged on the swing member, each of the two support parts is plate-shaped and includes a bearing part that can be detachably engaged with a corresponding one of the swing shafts.

[0030] With this configuration, when the swing member is forcibly pushed downward, the swing member is supported by the link member, and the support member is easily bent, releasing the fit between the swing shaft and the bearing portion.

[0031] In the traveling toy according to the third aspect, a protrusion is provided between the two support parts, and the protrusion is used to restrict foreign matter from entering the shaft support structure.

[0032] This configuration reduces the risk of foreign matter such as fingers entering the shaft support structure.

[0033] Although the embodiments of the present disclosure have been described, the present disclosure is not limited to the above-described embodiments, and various changes may be made without departing from the scope of the present disclosure.
