DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS

[0009] An embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. The running toy 1 shown in FIG. 1 is formed to resemble an airship by including a balloon portion (not shown). The running toy 1 includes a running toy body 10 formed to resemble a ship. The running toy body 10 has a three-wheeled form including one front wheel 11 and two rear wheels 12 (wheels). A mudguard 12a is provided above the rear wheels 12. The mudguard 12a restricts finger access to the rear wheels 12. The running toy body 10 includes a swinging member 30 shaped like a wing that is swingably provided by a shaft support structure 20. The shaft support structure 20 includes a support portion 21 (bearing portion 21a), a shaft support portion 22 (swing shaft 22a), and a protrusion 25, which will be described later.

[0010] As shown in FIG. 2, the oscillating member 30 is a generally flat plate with a feather-like outer shape, and includes an oscillating member body 31 with a feather pattern (not shown) on the upper surface. A peripheral wall 31a is provided in an annular wall shape on the outer periphery of the oscillating member body 31 so as to stand downward. Two reinforcing ribs 32 having a wave shape are provided on the lower surface of the oscillating member body 31 so as to span the opposing peripheral walls 31a. The oscillating member body 31 is provided with an opening 33 penetrating in a generally rectangular shape. The opening 33 is covered by a cover 34 attached from the upper surface side of the oscillating member body 31 using three boss holes 35. A support plate 36 protruding downward in a mountain shape is provided on the outer edge of the opening 33 of the oscillating member body 31.

[0011] A connecting shaft 37 is provided in the opening 33. The connecting shaft 37 is provided between the support plate 36 and the peripheral wall 31a facing the support plate 36. An axis CL3 of the connecting shaft 37 is approximately parallel to an axis CL1 of the axle 13 (rotating shaft) of the rear wheel 12 (see FIG. 4).

[0012] Two support parts 21 are provided on the peripheral wall 31a of the rocking member main body 31 on the traveling toy main body 10 side so as to protrude in a plate shape. Each support part 21 is provided with a bearing part 21a formed as a through hole. A rocking shaft 22a (see FIG. 3) described later is detachably fitted into the bearing part 21a, and supports the rocking shaft 22a so that the rocking member 30 can rock freely around the axis CL2. In this embodiment, the bearing part 21a is a through hole, but it may also be a recess formed on the outer surface of the support part 21 (the surface facing the rocking shaft 22a).

[0013] An intrusion-restricting protrusion 25 is provided between the two support parts 21. Slits 26 are formed at a predetermined interval between the protrusion 25 and the support parts 21. The protrusion 25 is formed in a substantially cylindrical shape.

[0014] As shown in Fig. 3, two opposing shaft support parts 22 are provided to protrude from the side surface 15 of the traveling toy main body 10. The shaft support parts 22 are formed to be thicker than the support part 21 provided on the swinging member 30. Each shaft support part 22 has a protruding swing shaft 22a provided on the opposing surface 22a1 of the opposing shaft support part 22. The swing shaft 22a has a spherical tip surface.

[0015] The swinging shaft 22a is fitted into the bearing portion 21a of the support portion 21 of the swinging member 30. The support portion 21 on which the bearing portion 21a is provided is formed in a plate shape, and the shaft support portion 22 on which the swinging shaft 22a is provided is formed thick, so that the support portion 21 bends when the swinging shaft 22a and the bearing portion 21a are fitted together or detached. In addition, when the swinging member 30 is attached to the running toy main body 10, the protrusion 25 serves to prevent the intrusion of fingers or the like, thereby reducing the likelihood of fingers or the like being pinched between the side surface 15 of the running toy main body 10 and the swinging member 30 (peripheral wall 31a).

[0016] The support part 21 and the shaft support part 22 may be configured such that the support part 21 is thicker than the shaft support part 22 to allow the shaft support part 22 to bend. Also, the traveling toy main body 10 side (the shaft support part 22 side) may be the bearing side, and the rocking member 30 (the support part 21 side) may be the shaft side.

[0017] 4, the rear wheel 12 is provided with an eccentric shaft 18 having an axis CL4 that is parallel to the axis CL1 of the axle 13 of the rear wheel 12 and spaced apart from the axis CL1 in the radial direction of the rear wheel 12. One end 40a of a substantially elongated link member 40 is rotatably connected to the eccentric shaft 18. Specifically, the eccentric shaft 18 is pin-shaped with a head portion 18a, and is fixed to the rear wheel 12. One end 40a of the link member 40 has a hole that rotatably engages with the shaft portion of the pin-shaped eccentric shaft 18.

[0018] The other end 40b of the link member 40 is formed in a substantially C-shaped ring shape having a gap 41. When the connecting shaft 37 of the oscillating member 30 is pushed into the gap 41, the gap 41 widens, and the other end 40b is rotatably connected to the connecting shaft 37 as shown in Fig. 1. The link member 40 connects the eccentric shaft 18 and the connecting shaft 37 provided on the oscillating member 30. The other end 40b of the link member 40 is detachably connected to the connecting shaft 37.

[0019] When the running toy 1 is made to run and the rear wheels 12 are rotated, the rocking member 30 rocks about the axis CL2 via the link member 40 in accordance with the rotation of the eccentric shaft 18 about the axle 13. The rocking members 30 are provided on both side surfaces 15 of the running toy main body 10, respectively, and therefore operate as if wings were moving.

[0020] Here, when the rocking member 30 of the running toy 1 is pulled upward, the gap 41 at the other end 40b of the link member 40 widens, and the connection between the other end 40b and the connecting shaft 37 can be released. This can reduce damage to the running toy body 10, the rocking member 30 (connecting shaft 37), the link member 40, the rear wheel 12, etc.

[0021] Furthermore, when the rocking member 30 is pushed downward, the connecting portion between the other end 40b of the link member 40 and the connecting shaft 37 serves as a fulcrum, and the support portion 21 side is lifted, thereby releasing the engagement between the rocking shaft 22a and the bearing portion 21a of the shaft support structure 20. Therefore, even when the rocking member 30 is pushed downward, damage to the traveling toy main body 10, the rocking member 30 (connecting shaft 37), the link member 40, the rear wheel 12, etc. can be reduced.

[0022] According to the embodiment of the present invention as described above, a traveling toy having the following features can be provided.

[0023] The running toy of the first aspect comprises a running toy body having wheels, an eccentric shaft provided on the wheel parallel to and spaced from the rotation axis of the wheel, a oscillating member provided on the running toy body so as to be freely swingable and detachable by an axis support structure, and a link member connecting the eccentric shaft and a connecting shaft provided on the oscillating member, and the link member is connected to the connecting shaft so as to be freely detachable.

[0024] With this configuration, even if force is applied in the swinging direction of the oscillating member, the shaft support structure and the connection part between the connecting shaft and the link member are released, making it possible to provide a running toy with reduced damage to movable members attached to the running toy main body.

[0025] In the second aspect, the axis support structure of the running toy has protrusion-shaped oscillating axes provided opposite each other on the running toy body, and two plate-shaped support portions provided on the oscillating member and equipped with bearing portions that can be detachably fitted into each of the oscillating axes.

[0026] According to this configuration, when the rocking member is forcibly pressed downward, the rocking member is supported by the link member, and the support portion easily bends, releasing the engagement between the rocking shaft and the bearing portion.

[0027] In the running toy according to the third aspect, a protrusion for preventing intrusion is provided between the support parts.

[0028] This configuration can reduce the intrusion of fingers or the like into the shaft support structure.

[0029] Although the embodiment of the present invention has been described above, the present invention is not limited to the above embodiment, and various modifications are possible without departing from the gist of the present invention. [Explanation of symbols]
