Description

【考案の詳細な説明】 この考案は軌条上を先行する無動力車の発車装
置を備えた玩具に係るものである。[Detailed description of the invention] This invention relates to a toy equipped with a starting device for a non-powered vehicle that advances on a track.

従来この種のレーシングカー形式の玩具におけ
る発車装置としては、無動力車を適宜の運び上げ
装置で軌条のうちの最も高い位置に運び上げるも
のや、一対の摩擦車で無動力車を挟み、この摩擦
車を急速回転してはじき出す装置などが知られて
いる。 Conventional starting devices for this type of racing car-style toy include those that lift the non-powered car to the highest position on the rails using an appropriate lifting device, or those that sandwich the non-powered car between a pair of friction wheels. Devices that rapidly rotate and eject friction wheels are known.

しかしながら位置のエネルギーを利用した前者
においては、玩具においては、余り高い位置にす
ることは現実の問題としてできず、従つて、無動
力車に対し充分な速度を与えることができない。
また摩擦車の回転による後者のものにおいては、
構造が複雑となり故障し易いし、発車速度を意識
的に変化させることは殆んどできない。 However, in the former case, which utilizes potential energy, it is not possible to place the toy at a very high position as a practical matter, and therefore it is not possible to provide sufficient speed to a non-powered vehicle.
In the latter case, which is based on the rotation of a friction wheel,
The structure is complicated and prone to failure, and it is almost impossible to consciously change the departure speed.

この考案は、軌条内にセツトされた数台の無動
力車を順次１台づゝ確実に発車できるようにし、
かつ各発車させる速度を自由に変更でき、しかも
構造が簡単で、故障を起すことが殆んどない丈夫
な商品を市場に提供するためのものである。 This idea makes it possible to reliably start several non-powered vehicles set within the rails one after another,
The purpose of this invention is to provide the market with a durable product that can freely change the speed at which each train starts, has a simple structure, and almost never breaks down.

車装置を備えた玩具である。 This device has a departure station section that is sloped slightly low at the front and an unloading side rail that is connected to this unloading side. The sides are slightly higher and there is a step between 1/2 and 4/5 of the height of the rear end of the car, and the length of the joint formed by this step is 3 times the length of the car.
A flexible stopper is provided on the side wall or ceiling of the departure station section for setting one non-powered vehicle in a fixed position within the departure station section. A hammer member for striking the rear end face of a non-powered vehicle set on the departure station is pivotally attached to a part of the machine body, and the hammer member is biased toward the striking position by a spring. This toy is equipped with a non-motorized vehicle starting device characterized in that a part of the member or a handle that moves integrally with the member is located outside the machine frame.

In addition, slits are provided in both upright side walls of the departure station section 15, and the free end of the extension of the hammer member 24 protrudes outside the machine frame of the main body 13.
This part serves as a handle 29a.

に位置している。 In this idea structured as described above,
When several non-powered vehicles 10 are placed on the introduction rail 21, they move toward the departure station section 15 due to their own weight;
5, the striking part 26 of the hammer member 24 in the striking position is pulled by the spring 28 and protrudes from the slit 20 onto the floor surface 16 of the starting station part 15. The vehicle cannot enter the departure station section 15 because it is stuck on the rear surface 27 of the striking section 26 of 24. That is, the rear surface 27 of the striking portion 26 of the hammer member 24, which is stopped at the striking position, is located exactly at the carry-in end of the starting station section 15.

進行が阻止されている。 When the hammer member 24 is thus withdrawn from the starting station section 15, the leading unpowered car 10 on the leading rail 21 passes through the joint 22 having the step D and proceeds to the starting station section by its own weight, where it hits the stopper 19 and stops in the designated position.
At this time, the following unpowered car 10 comes into contact with the upper part of the rear end face of the preceding unpowered car 10 which has already been set for parking in the departure station section 15, and is prevented from proceeding any further.

上に押出し乃至叩き出される。 Then, when you release your hand from the handle 31, the spring 2
Due to the restoring force of 8, the hammer member 24 and the pivot 2
5 and the handle 29 quickly return counterclockwise, and at this time, the striking portion 26 of the hammer member 24 hits and presses the rear end wall of the non-powered vehicle 10, causing the non-powered vehicle 10 to press against the flexible stopper. 19, pass through this part, and forcefully move the unloading side rail 17.
It is pushed or knocked out upwards.

以下降下軌条３４のスロープに沿つて自重で走行
して、導入軌条２１部に循還する。 Repeat this operation below. In the illustrated example, the non-powered vehicle 10 that was forcefully thrown out onto the unloading rail 17 is caused by its inertia to somersault onto the rail 30.
It is further accelerated in this descending section, jumps out from the jump platform 31, and flies in the direction of the vehicle receiving section 32. When the speed at this time is exactly the speed at which the vehicle receiving section 32 enters, the non-powered vehicle 10 is received by this,
Thereafter, it runs under its own weight along the slope of the descending rail 34 and circulates to the introduction rail 21 section.

のを制限する効果を有する。 In this device having the structure and operation as described above, even if several non-powered vehicles 10 are used one after another,
Even if the non-powered vehicles 10 are supplied onto the introduction rail 21 in series in contact with each other, the non-powered vehicles 10 are surely supplied to the departure station section 15 one by one under their own weight, and the distance between the departure station section 15 and the introduction rail 21 is ensured. Since the step D is provided as described above, only one non-powered vehicle 10 set in the starting station section 15 can be hit with the hammer member 24, and two or more non-powered vehicles can be struck in the starting station section 15. It has the effect of restricting the entry of the motor vehicle 10.

４の打撃速度又は力が変化し、無動力車１０の初
速に変化がつけられる。 In addition, the device of this invention for hitting the weightless vehicle 10 not only has a simple structure and has almost no risk of failure, but also allows the hammer member to be delicately adjusted depending on the position at which the handle 29 is released from the operator's fingers and the speed at which the handle 29 is released from the operator's finger. 2
The impact speed or force of 4 is changed, and the initial speed of the non-powered vehicle 10 is changed.

与えて搬出側軌条１７上に無動力車１０を叩き出
すように押出す。 Further, the flexible stopper 19 is a hammer member 24.
The impact force on the hammer member 24 is absorbed by the frictional force between the hammer member 24 and the non-powered vehicle 10. However, on the other hand, the spring itself momentarily tries to over-contract, but this is stored as internal stress. When the flexible stopper 19 and the non-powered vehicle 10 are separated and there is no resistance, the stored internal stress is released at once, and the restoring force of the spring is efficiently applied to the non-powered vehicle. , a sufficient initial speed is given to the non-powered vehicle 10, and the non-powered vehicle 10 is pushed out onto the unloading rail 17.

付ける力となり、玩具全体が紊りに移動しない。 In addition, in the embodiment shown in Fig. 1,
Since the slit 20 is provided in the center of the floor surface, it acts as a guide for the hammer member 24 and can always hit the hammer member 24 on a line that passes approximately through the center of gravity of the non-powered vehicle 10. Also, if the non-powered vehicle 10 has four wheels, does not interfere with the running of the wheels, and the force when rotating the handle 29 against the spring 28 serves as a force that presses the main body 3 downward, so that the entire toy does not move smoothly.

In the case of swinging in a horizontal plane, the height from the base 14 to the departure station section 15 can be reduced, resulting in overall savings in materials.

Depending on the angle of inclination of the handles 29, 29a, or due to the friction between the fingers and the handle when the fingers are removed from the handle, there is a slight difference in the striking force of the hammer member 24, and the impact of flying from the jump platform 31 is slightly different. Differences occur in the flight trajectories of the power vehicles, and there are various factors such as how many of the several vehicles can safely reach the vehicle receiving section 32 and be accepted, or how many vehicles can be circulated within a predetermined time. You can play.

It is firmly fixed. Also all rails 17, 21, 3
The cross-sectional shapes of 0 and 34 are shaped to prevent the non-powered vehicle 10 from falling to the side.
