The wheel bearings 40 are provided on the left and right sides so as to rotatably support the front axle 13. Similarly, the wheel bearings 50 are provided on the left and right sides so as to rotatably support the rear axle 23.

[0014] As shown in FIG. 5, the left and right sides of the body 2 are provided with an inner part 60 formed as a plate long in the front-rear direction with a plate surface facing left-right, and an outer part 70 formed as a plate long in the front-rear direction with a surface provided on the outside of the inner part 60 facing left-right. The inner part 60 is provided inside the wheel 30 (left wheels 11, 21, right wheels 12, 22) and has a first side surface 61 parallel to the wheel 30. The outer part 70 has a second side surface 71 facing the first side surface 61 approximately parallel to the first side surface 61. In other words, the first side surface 61 is an outer side surface of the inner part 60 and is a surface disposed facing the wheel 30. The second side surface 71 is an inner side surface of the outer part 70 and is a surface approximately parallel to the first side surface 61. The outer part 70 has an opening 72 formed along the wheel 30 so that the entire outer side surface of the wheel 30 is exposed.

[0015] A fender portion 80 is provided above the wheel 30, which is formed in an arc shape in a side view along the wheel 30 and includes a fender surface 81 that is a curved surface facing the wheel 30. The fender portion 80 is provided so as to connect the inner portion 60 and the outer portion 70.

[0016] A first restricting portion 91 is provided on the rear side of the wheel 30 of the front wheel 10. The first restricting portion 91 is provided as a plate-shaped member whose plate surface is perpendicular to the first side surface 61 and the second side surface 71. A gap S1 is provided between the first restricting portion 91 and the wheel 30. The gap S1 is set to 1 mm or less. The first restricting portion 91 is connected to a surface that is continuous with the first side surface 61, the second side surface 71, and the fender surface 81 corresponding to the wheel 30 of the front wheel 10. As shown in FIG. 3, the first restricting portion 91 extends downward from the surface that is continuous with the fender surface 81, and is provided up to the vicinity of the edge of the opening 72.

[0017] 4 and 5, a plate-shaped second restricting portion 92 similar to the first restricting portion 91 is provided on the rear side of the wheel 30 of the rear wheel 20. The second restricting portion 92 is connected to the first side surface 61, the second side surface 71, and a surface continuous with the fender surface 81 corresponding to the wheel 30 of the rear wheel 20. As shown in FIG. 3, the second restricting portion 92 extends downward from the surface continuous with the fender surface 81 to the vicinity of the edge of the opening 72. A gap S2 between the second restricting portion 92 and the wheel 30 is also set to 1 mm or less.

[0018] As shown in Figures 4 and 5, a third restricting portion 93 is provided in front of the wheel 30 of the rear wheel 20. The third restricting portion 93 includes a plurality of vertical ribs 93a provided parallel to the first side surface 61 and the second side surface 71. In this embodiment, three vertical ribs 93a are provided. The vertical ribs 93a are connected to a surface continuous with the fender surface 81. As shown in Figure 3, a portion of the vertical rib 93a is exposed from the opening 72. A gap S3 (see Figure 4) between the vertical rib 93a and the wheel 30 is also set to 1 mm or less.

[0019] The first restricting portion 91, the second restricting portion 92, and the third restricting portion 93 are provided between the first side surface 61 and the second side surface 71, and serve as a restricting portion 90 that restricts access to the fender surface 81. For example, the restricting portion 90 restricts a foreign object, such as a finger, from accessing the wheel 30 and the fender surface 81 along the first side surface 61 and the second side surface 71. In addition, the restricting portion 90 is provided adjacent to the fender portion 80 so that the gaps S1, S2, S3 between the restricting portion 90 and the wheel 30 are 1 mm or less, thereby restricting access to the fender surface 81 from below the wheel 30.

[0020] In addition, since the left and right ends of the front part 4 are disposed adjacent to the fender portion 80 in front of the front wheel 10, access to the fender portion 80 is restricted, similar to the restricting portion 90.

[0021] According to the embodiment of the present invention as described above, a traveling toy having the following features can be provided.

[0022] The running toy of the first aspect has an inner portion provided on the inside of a wheel and having a first side surface parallel to the wheel, an outer portion provided outboard of the inner portion and having a second side surface opposite the first side surface, a fender portion having a fender surface formed in an arc shape along the wheel facing the wheel, connecting the inner portion and the outer portion, and a restricting portion provided between the first side surface and the second side surface and restricting access to the fender surface.

[0023] With this configuration, even if the running toy does not have a bottom plate, the shape of the outer part can be designed with aesthetic considerations, while the restricting part restricts access to the fender surface, thereby reducing the risk of foreign objects such as fingers getting caught between the wheel and the fender surface.

[0024] In a running toy according to a second aspect, the restriction portion is a plate-like member having a plate surface perpendicular to the first side surface and the second side surface.

[0025] According to this configuration, the restricting portion can be easily provided with a simple shape.

[0026] In a running toy according to a third aspect, the restriction portion is made up of a plurality of vertical ribs whose plate surfaces are parallel to the first side surface and the second side surface.

[0027] According to this configuration, even if a part of the restricting portion is exposed to the outside, the restricting portion can be provided without impairing the design.

[0028] In the running toy according to a fourth aspect, the restriction portion is provided adjacent to the fender portion.

[0029] With this configuration, access to the fender surface can be further reliably reduced.

[0030] In a traveling toy according to a fifth aspect, the outer portion has an opening along the wheel.

[0031] According to this configuration, the wheels can be exposed, providing a traveling toy with a highly aesthetic design.
