Figure 2 This is a schematic diagram showing the periphery of the sliding mechanism 18 in the vehicle toy 100. Figure 3 This shows the front view of the second wheel component 3. Figure 4 This shows a bottom view of the pressing member 4. (See attached image.) Figure 1 As shown, the vehicle toy 100 is a toy that imitates a two-wheeled vehicle (in this embodiment, a small-wheeled motorcycle). The vehicle toy 100 includes a main body component 1, a first wheel component 2, a second wheel component 3, and a pressing component 4.

[0019] The main body component 1 includes a base portion 11, a handle component 12, a light component 13, a front fender component 14, a rear cover component 15, a plate component 16, a placement portion 17, a sliding mechanism 18 (an example of a position-changing mechanism), and an attachment mechanism 19 (an example of a position-changing mechanism). The main body component 1 includes two rear cover components 15. One rear cover component 15 is located on the right side of the main body component 1, and the other rear cover component 15 is located on the left side of the main body component 1. The main body component 1 includes two sliding mechanisms 18. One sliding mechanism 18 is located on the right side of the main body component 1, and the other sliding mechanism 18 is located on the left side of the main body component 1.

[0020] The base portion 11 is generally L-shaped in the side view. The base portion 11 includes a foot pedal portion 111. The foot pedal portion 111 is located at the front of the base portion 11. The foot pedal portion 111 is convex in the side view.

[0021] The handle component 12 is a component that mimics the handle of a two-wheeled vehicle. The handle component 12 is rotatably disposed at the upper front end of the base portion 11. The handle component 12 includes a handle grip 121, a brake lever 122, a rearview mirror component 123, and an instrument component 124.

[0022] The lamp component 13 is a component that imitates a headlight. The lamp component 13 is disposed on the front surface portion of the base portion 11. The lamp component 13 is located in the height direction ( Figure 1 It is located between the handle component 12 and the front fender component 14 in the vertical direction.

[0023] A front fender member 14 is disposed at the lower front part of the base portion 11. The front fender member 14 includes a rod-shaped portion (not shown) that is rotatably inserted into a hole (not shown) in the handle member 12. Accordingly, the front fender member 14 is rotatably connected to the handle member 12. Therefore, when the handle member 12 rotates, the front fender member 14 rotates accordingly. The front fender member 14 includes a bearing portion 141. The bearing portion 141 is generally cylindrical and is configured such that the shaft portion 21 of the first wheel member 2 (described later) can be inserted therein. When the shaft portion 21 of the first wheel member 2 is inserted into the bearing portion 141, the front fender member 14 is connected to the first wheel member 2. The front fender member 14 is arc-shaped and covers a portion of the first wheel member 2.

[0024] The rear cover member 15 is provided on the rear side of the base portion 11. The rear cover member 15 is generally semi-circular in the right side view or left side view. The rear cover member 15 covers a portion of the second wheel member 3.

[0025] Plate component 16 is a component that imitates a license plate. Plate component 16 is a plate-shaped structure. Plate component 16 is set on the back surface of the base portion 11.

[0026] The placement part 17 is a component that mimics a two-wheeled vehicle seat. The placement part 17 includes a placement area R1 capable of holding at least one doll 200. That is, the main body component 1 includes a placement area R1 capable of holding at least one doll 200. Figure 1 In the example shown, a doll 200A is placed in the placement area R1. The placement part 17 includes a seat part 171 and two recesses 172. The seat part 171 is configured such that at least one doll 200A (200) is placed thereon. The recesses 172 are respectively provided on the rear right side surface and the rear left side surface of the seat part 171.

[0027] Next, refer to Figure 2Describe the sliding mechanism 18. Figure 2 This shows the state where the pressing member 4 is not attached to the sliding mechanism 18. For example... Figure 2 As shown, the sliding mechanism 18 is configured to be received within the recess 172 of the placement portion 17. The sliding mechanism 18 has a sliding groove 181, and the first protrusion 413 of the pressing member 4 (see below) Figure 4 It can be attached to and detached from each sliding groove 181. The sliding groove 181 is an elongated groove extending in the front-rear direction. The sliding groove 181 includes a first straight groove 1811, a second straight groove 1812, and four recesses 1813 (recesses 1813A to 1813D). The first straight groove 1811 and the second straight groove 1812 extend in the front-rear direction.

[0028] Groove 1813 is an arc-shaped hemispherical groove. Grooves 1813A to 1813D are continuous. Grooves 1813A to 1813D are located between the first straight groove 1811 and the second straight groove 1812. The outer diameter of groove 1813 is larger than the width of the first straight groove 1811. Figure 2 The length of the middle section in the vertical direction) and the width of the second straight groove 1812 ( Figure 2 (Length in the vertical direction).

[0029] like Figure 1 As shown, the attachment mechanism 19 is provided at the rear of the base portion 11. The attachment mechanism 19 includes a main body portion 191 and a second protrusion 192. The main body portion 191 is connected to the rear of the base portion 11. The main body portion 191 has a flat surface that is substantially perpendicular to the vertical direction. The second protrusion 192 is provided at the rear end of the main body portion 191. The second protrusion 192 extends upward from the rear end of the main body portion 191.

[0030] like Figure 1 As shown, the first wheel component 2 is generally disc-shaped. The first wheel component 2 is connected to the first end 1A of the main body component 1. The first end 1A is the front end of the base portion 11 of the main body component 1. The first wheel component 2 includes a shaft portion 21. The shaft portion 21 is connected to the bearing portion 141 of the front fender component 14. Since the front fender component 14 is rotatably connected to the handle component 12, when the handle component 12 rotates, the first wheel component 2 connected to the front fender component 14 also rotates according to the rotation of the handle component 12 and the front fender component 14. That is, the first wheel component 2 is connected to the main body component 1 in a rotatable state relative to the main body component 1. Therefore, the first wheel component 2 can rotate both in the circumferential direction and relative to the main body component 1.

[0031] The second wheel component 3 is generally disc-shaped. The second wheel component 3 is connected to a second end portion 1B, which is located opposite the first end portion 1A of the main body component 1. The second end portion 1B is the rear end portion of the base portion 11 of the main body component 1. The second wheel component 3 includes a first shaft portion 311, which will be described later (see...). Figure 3 ) and second shaft 321 (see Figure 3 The second wheel member 3 is connected to the main body member 1 by inserting the first shaft portion 311 and the second shaft portion 321 into the bearing portion (not shown) of the base portion 11. That is, the second wheel member 3 is connected to the main body member 1 in a non-rotatable state relative to the main body member 1. Therefore, the second wheel member 3 can rotate in the circumferential direction of the second wheel member 3, but cannot rotate relative to the main body member 1.

[0032] like Figure 3 As shown, the second wheel component 3 includes a first component 31 and a second component 32. The first component 31 has a first surface 31A (with a first outer diameter D1) and a second surface 31B (with a second outer diameter D2 greater than the first outer diameter D1). The second surface 31B is the opposite surface to the first surface 31A. The second component 32 has a third surface 32A (with a third outer diameter D3) and a fourth surface 32B (with a fourth outer diameter D4 greater than the third outer diameter D3). The fourth surface 32B is the opposite surface to the third surface 32A. The third surface 32A of the second component 32 is connected to the first surface 31A of the first component 31. The fourth outer diameter D4 of the second component 32 is equal to the second outer diameter D2 of the first component 31. The third outer diameter D3 of the second component 32 is greater than the first outer diameter D1 of the first component 31. However, the third outer diameter D3 of the second component 32 may also be equal to or less than the first outer diameter D1 of the first component 31.

[0033] In the first component 31, a first inclined surface 33 is formed between the first surface 31A and the second surface 31B, the diameter of which gradually increases from the first surface 31A to the second surface 31B. In the second component 32, a second inclined surface 34 is formed between the third surface 32A and the fourth surface 32B, the diameter of which gradually increases from the third surface 32A to the fourth surface 32B. That is, both the first component 31 and the second component 32 are conical. Therefore, in the left-right direction, the outer diameters of the two ends (right end 3R and left end 3L) of the second wheel component 3 (the second outer diameter D2 of the first component 31 and the fourth outer diameter D4 of the second component 32) are equal to or greater than the outer diameter of the portion of the second wheel component 3 excluding the two ends. For ease of description, Figure 3 The second wheel component 3 is shown such that it can be visually perceived as a tapered shape of the first component 31 and the second component 32, but the actual taper of the first component 31 and the second component 32 is slight.

[0034] Next, refer to Figure 1 and Figure 4 Describe pressing component 4. (e.g.) Figure 1 As shown, the pressing member 4 is a component that mimics a suitcase. The pressing member 4 can press down on the doll placed on the placement part 17 of the vehicle toy 100. Figure 4 As shown, the pressing member 4 includes a receiving part 41 and a cover part 42.

[0035] The receiving portion 41 is hollow. The receiving portion 41 includes a hole 411, a leg 412, and a first protrusion 413. The hole 411 is generally T-shaped in the bottom view. The hole 411 is generally located at the center of the bottom surface of the receiving portion 41.

[0036] The length of the hole 411 in the left-right direction is substantially equal to the length of the second protrusion 192 of the attachment mechanism 19 in the left-right direction. Therefore, the second protrusion 192 can be attached to and detached from the hole 411. By attaching the second protrusion 192 to the hole 411, the pressing member 4 is attached to the attachment mechanism 19. In this way, the attachment mechanism 19 is implemented such that the pressing member 4 can be attached thereto.

[0037] The legs 412 are configured to extend downward from the bottom surface of the receiving portion 41. The legs 412 are respectively located at both ends of the receiving portion 41. Figure 4 (The left and right ends of the receiving portion). Therefore, the receiving portion 41 includes two legs 412. In this specification, the leg 412 provided at the right end of the receiving portion 41 may be referred to as leg 412R, and the leg 412 provided at the left end of the receiving portion 41 may be referred to as leg 412L. The leg 412 is a plate-shaped member, which is generally rectangular parallelepiped in shape.

[0038] A first protrusion 413 is provided at the lower end of each of the legs 412R and 412L. Therefore, the receiving portion 41 includes two first protrusions 413. The first protrusion 413 provided on the leg 412R protrudes to the left from the lower end of the leg 412R. The first protrusion 413 provided on the leg 412L protrudes to the right from the lower end of the leg 412L. A spherical portion 4131 is provided at the generally central portion of the first protrusion 413.

[0039] The outer diameter of the spherical portion 4131 of the first protrusion 413 is slightly smaller than the outer diameter of the groove 1813. Therefore, the spherical portion 4131 is configured to be embedded in the groove 1813. When the first protrusion 413 of the pressing member 4 is attached to the sliding groove 181, the user can slide the pressing member 4 along the sliding groove 181 by sliding the pressing member 4 in the front-back direction. That is, the sliding mechanism 18 is configured to allow the pressing member 4 to slide. The spherical portion 4131 is embedded in any one of the four grooves 1813 (1813A to 1813D), and the user can change the groove 1813 in which the spherical portion 4131 is embedded by sliding the pressing member 4.

[0040] The cover 42 is connected to the receiving portion 41 in a state that allows it to be opened and closed relative to the receiving portion 41. For example... Figure 1 In the example shown, the cover 42 is configured to cover the receiving portion 41.

[0041] As described above, the pressing member 4 can be attached to the sliding mechanism 18 or the attachment mechanism 19. The pressing member 4 can also be detached from the sliding mechanism 18 or the attachment mechanism 19. That is, the pressing member 4 is implemented to be able to be attached to and detached from the main body member 1.

[0042] The position of the pressing member 4 can be changed in the following ways: for example, with the first protrusion 413 of the pressing member 4 attached to the sliding groove 181 of the sliding mechanism 18, the first protrusion 413 can be moved along the sliding groove 181. Furthermore, for example, after the first protrusion 413 of the pressing member 4 is detached from the sliding groove 181 of the sliding mechanism 18, the position of the pressing member 4 can also be changed by attaching the second protrusion 192 of the attachment mechanism 19 to the hole 411 of the pressing member 4. Therefore, the sliding mechanism 18 and the attachment mechanism 19 are implemented to change the position of the pressing member 4.

[0043] (The reason why the toy vehicle 100 stands up on its own)

[0044] Next, the reason why the toy vehicle 100 stands up on its own will be described. First, the reason why the first component 31 is formed into a cone shape will be described in detail. When manufacturing the wheel component in a toy vehicle, a mold is usually used. However, when manufacturing the wheel component using a mold, a draft angle needs to be set in the mold for smooth demolding, so the mold shape is conical. Therefore, the ground contact surface of the wheel component forms a small cone. When the ground contact surface of the wheel component is conical, the toy vehicle including the wheel component will tilt in one direction (e.g., one of the left and right directions) and cannot stand up on its own.

[0045] The first component 31 is manufactured using such a mold. Therefore, the first component 31 is tapered. However, the second wheel component 3 includes not only the first component 31 but also the second component 32, and the fourth outer diameter D4 of the second component 32 is equal to the second outer diameter D2 of the first component 31. In the left-right direction, the outer diameters of the two ends (right end 3R and left end 3L) of the second wheel component 3 (the second outer diameter D2 of the first component 31 and the fourth outer diameter D4 of the second component 32) are equal to or greater than the outer diameter of the portion of the second wheel component 3 excluding the two ends. Therefore, the vehicle toy 100 including the second wheel component 3 can move smoothly and can stand upright on its own without the need for auxiliary equipment such as a support when stationary.

[0046] (Method for changing the placement area using sliding mechanism 18)

[0047] Next, refer to Figure 1and Figure 5 This describes a method for changing the placement area using a sliding mechanism 18. Here, the method from... Figure 1 The state shown (initial state) towards Figure 5 The displacement process in the state shown. Figure 1 In the example shown, only doll 200A is placed within placement area R1. Figure 1 In the shown state, the spherical portion 4131 of the first protrusion 413 is embedded in the groove 1813A, and the doll 200A is pressed down by the pressing member 4. That is, in Figure 1 In the example shown, doll 200A and pressing member 4 are in contact with each other.

[0048] exist Figure 1 In the state shown, when attempting to change doll 200 placed in the placement area from doll 200A to another doll 200B (see... Figure 5 When the user slides the pressing member 4 attached to the sliding mechanism 18 backward, for example, the user can take measures such as sliding the pressing member 4 backward. For example, when the user slides the pressing member 4 attached to the sliding mechanism 18 backward, so that the groove 1813 into which the spherical part 4131 is embedded changes from groove 1813A to groove 1813D, the placement area in the placement part 17 changes from placement area R1 to placement area R2. That is, when the position of the pressing member 4 is changed by the sliding mechanism 18, the placement area in the placement part 17 changes from placement area R1 to placement area R2. Placement area R2 is larger than placement area R1 in the front-back direction. Suppose that the doll 200B cannot be placed in placement area R1, but can be placed in placement area R2. Such a doll 200B is, for example, a doll that has a longer length in the front-back direction than doll 200A, or a doll wearing large clothing. Because the placement area of ​​the placement section 17 changes from placement area R1 to placement area R2, the user can place dolls 200B that cannot be placed in placement area R1. In this way, the user can change the placement area by sliding the pressing member 4 attached to the sliding mechanism 18 in the front-back direction according to the size of the doll to be placed. Therefore, according to the vehicle toy 100, the variety of dolls that can be placed on the vehicle toy 100 can be increased.

[0049] (Method for changing the placement area using attachment mechanism 19)

[0050] Next, refer to Figure 1 and Figure 6 This describes a method for changing the placement area using attachment mechanism 19. Here, the method from... Figure 1 The state shown (initial state) towards Figure 6 The process of state displacement is shown. Figure 1 In the state shown, when the user attempts to attach another doll 200C to doll 200A within the placement area (see... Figure 6 When this is done, measures can be taken, for example, to detach the pressing member 4 attached to the sliding mechanism 18 from the sliding mechanism 18 and attach the pressing member 4 to the attachment mechanism 19. For example, the user slides the pressing member 4 attached to the sliding mechanism 18 forward or backward to detach the pressing member 4 from the sliding mechanism 18. Then, the user moves the pressing member 4 downward from above and attaches the pressing member 4 to the attachment mechanism 19, such that the second protrusion 192 of the attachment mechanism 19 attaches to the hole 411 of the pressing member 4.

[0051] When the pressing member 4 is detached from the sliding mechanism 18 and attached to the attachment mechanism 19, the placement area within the placement part 17 changes from placement area R1 to placement area R3. That is, when the position of the pressing member 4 is changed by the sliding mechanism 18 and the attachment mechanism 19, the placement area within the placement part 17 changes from placement area R1 to placement area R3. Placement area R3 is larger than placement area R1 in the front-back direction. At this time, the pressing member 4 does not contact the doll 200A. That is, when the pressing member 4 is detached from the sliding mechanism 18 and attached to the attachment mechanism 19, a gap is formed between the pressing member 4 and the doll 200A. The user can place a doll 200C, which is different from the doll 200A, into the gap formed at this time. When the user places the doll 200C into the gap, as... Figure 6 As shown, dolls 200A and 200C are placed in placement area R3. In this way, by placing dolls 200A and 200C in placement area R3, users can simulate a scenario where two people are riding in a two-wheeled vehicle.

[0052] As described above, in the vehicle toy 100, since the placement area can be changed using the sliding mechanism 18 and / or the attachment mechanism 19, the number of dolls that can be placed in the placement area can be appropriately changed, dolls of different sizes can be placed, or the shape of the doll 200 can be deformed and placed in the placement area. In other words, according to the vehicle toy 100, the variety of dolls 200 that can be placed on the vehicle toy 100 is increased.

[0053] According to the vehicle toy 100 with the above configuration, the vehicle toy 100 includes a main body component 1 and a pressing component 4. The main body component 1 includes placement areas R1, R2, and R3 on which at least one doll 200 can be placed. The pressing component 4 can be attached to and detached from the main body component 1 and can press down on the doll 200. The main body component 1 includes a sliding mechanism 18 and an attachment mechanism 19 as position changing mechanisms, which are implemented to change the position of the pressing component 4. By changing the position of the pressing component 4 using the sliding mechanism 18 and the attachment mechanism 19, the range of the placement areas R1, R2, and R3 is changed. Therefore, by changing the position of the pressing component 4 using the sliding mechanism 18 and the attachment mechanism 19, the number of dolls 200 placed in the placement areas R1, R2, and R3 can be appropriately changed to the number of dolls 200 that are desired to be placed on the vehicle toy 100. Dolls 200 of different sizes can be replaced, or the shape of the dolls 200 can be deformed and placed in the placement areas R1, R2, and R3. Therefore, based on the vehicle toy 100, the diversity of dolls 200 that can be placed on the vehicle toy 100 can be increased through simple configuration.

[0054] According to the vehicle toy 100 with the above configuration, the main body component 1 includes a sliding mechanism 18, which is implemented as a position changing mechanism to allow the pressing component 4 to slide. Therefore, the user can change the position of the pressing component 4 simply by sliding the pressing component 4.

[0055] According to the vehicle toy 100 with the above configuration, with the first protrusion 413 of the pressing member 4 attached to the sliding groove 181 of the sliding mechanism 18, the position of the pressing member 4 is changed by sliding the first protrusion 413 along the sliding groove 181. Therefore, according to the vehicle toy 100, the sliding mechanism 18 can be implemented with a simple configuration.

[0056] According to the vehicle toy 100 with the above configuration, the main body component 1 includes a sliding mechanism 18 and an attachment mechanism 19 as a position changing mechanism. After the first protrusion 413 of the pressing member 4 is detached from the groove 181 of the sliding mechanism 18, the second protrusion 192 of the attachment mechanism 19 is attached to the hole 411 of the pressing member 4, thereby changing the position of the pressing member 4. Therefore, since the section used to change the position of the pressing member 4 can be diversified, compared to the case where only the sliding mechanism 18 is provided, the length of the vehicle toy 100 can be avoided, and the design freedom of the vehicle toy 100 can be increased.

[0057] According to the embodiments of this disclosure described above, vehicle toys can be provided in accordance with the following aspects.

[0058] The vehicle toy according to the first aspect includes: a main body component and a pressing component, the main body component including a placement area configured to allow at least one doll to be placed thereon; the pressing component being configured to attach to and detach from the main body component and press down on at least one doll, wherein the main body component includes a position changing mechanism configured to change the position of the pressing component, and by changing the position of the pressing component using the position changing mechanism, the extent of the placement area is changed.

[0059] According to this configuration, the vehicle toy includes a main body component and a pressing component. The main body component includes a placement area on which at least one doll can be placed. The pressing component is attachable to and detachable from the main body component and presses down on the doll. The main body component includes a position-changing mechanism implemented to change the position of the pressing component. By changing the position of the pressing component using the position-changing mechanism, the range of the placement area is changed. Therefore, by changing the position of the pressing component using the position-changing mechanism, the number of dolls that can be placed in the placement area can be appropriately changed to the desired number of dolls that can be placed on the vehicle toy. Dolls of different sizes can be placed, or the shape of the dolls can be deformed and placed in the placement area. As described above, according to the vehicle toy having the above configuration, the diversity of dolls that can be placed on the vehicle toy can be increased through a simple configuration.

[0060] In the vehicle toy according to the second aspect, the main component includes a sliding mechanism as a position changing mechanism, the sliding mechanism being configured to allow the pressing component to slide.

[0061] According to this configuration, the main component includes a sliding mechanism that functions as a position-changing mechanism, and the sliding mechanism is configured to allow sliding. Therefore, the user can change the position of the pressing component simply by sliding the pressing component.

[0062] In the vehicle toy according to the third aspect, the pressing member includes a first protrusion, and the sliding mechanism includes a sliding groove configured to allow the first protrusion to be attached to and detached from it, wherein the position of the pressing member is changed by sliding the first protrusion along the sliding groove while the first protrusion is attached to the sliding groove.

[0063] With this configuration, the position of the pressing member is changed by sliding the first protrusion along the sliding groove of the sliding mechanism when the first protrusion is attached to the sliding groove of the pressing member. As described above, the sliding mechanism can be implemented in a simple configuration according to the vehicle toy with the above configuration.

[0064] In the vehicle toy according to the fourth aspect, the main body component further includes an attachment mechanism as a position changing mechanism. The attachment mechanism is configured to attach a pressing member having a hole. The attachment mechanism includes a second protrusion configured to attach to and detach from the hole. By detaching the first protrusion of the pressing member from the sliding groove of the sliding mechanism, the second protrusion of the attachment mechanism is attached to the hole of the pressing member, thereby changing the position of the pressing member.

[0065] According to this configuration, the main component includes a sliding mechanism and an attachment mechanism, which serve as position-changing mechanisms. By disassembling the first protrusion of the pressing member from the sliding groove of the sliding mechanism, and then attaching the second protrusion of the attachment mechanism to the hole of the pressing member, the position of the pressing member is changed. Therefore, since the sections used to change the position of the pressing member can be diversified, compared to the case of only providing a sliding mechanism, it is possible to avoid increasing the length of the vehicle toy and to increase the design freedom of the vehicle toy.

[0066] The above embodiments are intended to enhance understanding of this disclosure and are not intended to limit it. This disclosure may be modified or improved without departing from its core principles.

[0067] In this embodiment, the vehicle toy 100 includes a first wheel component 2, but may include two or more first wheel components 2. The vehicle toy 100 includes a second wheel component 3, but may include two or more second wheel components 3.

[0068] In this embodiment, the first wheel member 2 is connected to the main body member 1 in a rotatable state relative to the main body member 1, but it can also be connected to the main body member 1 in a non-rotatable state relative to the main body member 1. Similarly, the second wheel member 3 is connected to the main body member 1 in a non-rotatable state relative to the main body member 1, but it can also be connected to the main body member 1 in a rotatable state relative to the main body member 1.

[0069] In this embodiment, the structure of the first wheel component 2 can be similar to that of the second wheel component 3. That is, the first wheel component 2 may include components similar to the first component 31 and components similar to the second component 32. Therefore, the first wheel component 2 in this example is a wheel component, wherein the outer diameter of the two ends of the first wheel component 2 is equal to or greater than the outer diameter of the portion of the first wheel component 2 excluding the two ends, and the outer diameters of the two ends are equal to each other. When the structure of the first wheel component 2 is the same as the structure of the second wheel component 3, for example, when the first wheel component 2 and the second wheel component 3 are arranged in a straight line, the vehicle toy 100 can stand up on its own when placed on the ground, a table, etc.

[0070] In this embodiment, the main body component 1 includes a sliding mechanism 18 and an attachment mechanism 19 as position changing mechanisms, but the main body component 1 may include multiple attachment mechanisms 19 as position changing mechanisms. In the vehicle toy 100 of this example, the main body component 1 includes multiple attachment mechanisms 19 for attaching a pressing member 4 as position changing mechanisms. The pressing member 4 has a hole 411. Each of the multiple attachment mechanisms 19 includes a second protrusion 192 that can be attached to and detached from the hole 411. By detaching one of the second protrusions 192 attached to the hole 411 of the pressing member 4 from the hole 411 and attaching another second protrusion 192, different from the first second protrusion 192, to the hole 411, the position of the pressing member 4 is changed. According to the vehicle toy 100 including such a main body component 1, when attempting to change the position of the pressing member 4, unlike the case where the position of the pressing member 4 is changed using the sliding mechanism 18, it is not necessary to adjust the position of the pressing member 4, and therefore the position of the pressing member 4 can be easily changed.
