Utility Model Registration No. 3151368

However, the vehicle toy described in the above-mentioned Patent Document 1 is a toy lacking in entertainment value because the moving body merely swings in response to the movement of the vehicle body. Therefore, there has been a demand for the development of a moving toy that can perform a motion that can further increase entertainment value.
An object of the present invention is to provide a moving toy that can be made more entertaining.

The moving toy of the present invention is a moving toy that can move on a surface and includes a support part that supports a rollable rolling body, and a rotating part that is provided on the support part and rotates due to the movement of the moving toy, and the rotating part rotates the rolling body supported by the support part. Also, the moving toy of the present invention is a moving toy that can move on a surface and includes a support part that supports a rollable rolling body, a rotating part that is provided on the support part and rotates due to the movement of the moving toy, and a guide part that guides the rolling body to the support part, and the rotating part rotates the rolling body supported by the support part.

The moving toy set of the present invention includes a rolling object and a moving toy movable on a surface, the moving toy includes a support part supporting the rolling object and a rotating part provided on the support part and rotating due to the movement of the moving toy, the rotating part rotating the rolling object supported on the support part. Also, the moving toy set of the present invention includes a rolling object and a moving toy movable on a surface, the moving toy includes a support part supporting the rolling object, a guide part guiding the rolling of the rolling object onto the support part, and a rotating part provided on the support part and rotating due to the movement of the moving toy, the rotating part rotating the rolling object supported on the support part.

According to the present invention, a support part is provided that supports a rolling object, and a rotating part that rotates due to the movement of the moving toy is provided on the support part, and the rotating part rotates the rolling object supported on the support part. This allows the rolling object to be rotated by the rotating part simply by moving the moving toy, which in turn makes it possible to further increase the interest of the toy.

[Mobile toy set]
As shown in Figures 1 to 3 and 7, the moving toy set 10 includes a moving toy 30 and a rolling body 50. The moving toy 30 is movable on a surface SF such as a floor surface. The rolling body 50 is detachable from the moving toy 30 and is capable of rolling independently on the surface SF. Here, Figures 1 to 3 and 7 show a state in which the rolling body 50 is supported at a predetermined position on the moving toy 30.

[Mobile toys]
4 to 7, the moving toy 30 has a case 31 that is long in the moving direction (left and right direction in the drawings). The case 31 forms the outer shell of the moving toy 30, and is formed in a substantially box shape by injection molding a resin material such as plastic.

The mobile toy 30 also includes a lid member 32. The lid member 32 is formed in a generally plate-like shape by injection molding a resin material such as plastic, and closes an opening (not shown) on the surface SF side of the case 31. The lid member 32 is fixed to the case 31 by a total of four rivets RT, as shown in FIG. 6.

[Support part]
As shown in Fig. 4, a support part 33 that supports the rolling element 50 is provided in the longitudinal center of the case 31 (the center in the left-right direction in the figure). The support part 33 has a recess 33a recessed toward the surface SF. A rotating shaft part 51 (see Fig. 7) of the rolling element 50 fits into the recess 33a, and the recess 33a rotatably supports the rotating shaft part 51. The state shown in Figs. 1 to 3 and 7 is a state in which the rolling element 50 is positioned at a predetermined position on the support part 33. That is, the recess 33a has a function of positioning the rolling element 50 at a predetermined position on the support part 33, and corresponds to the positioning part in the present invention.

As shown in FIG. 5, the support portion 33 is provided with a pair of disk accommodating portions 33b that rotatably accommodate a pair of disk portions 52 (see FIG. 8) provided on the rolling body 50. These disk accommodating portions 33b are provided on both sides of the recess 33a in the short direction (the up-down direction in FIG. 5) perpendicular to the long direction of the case 31. The bottoms of the pair of disk accommodating portions 33b are disposed closer to the surface SF than the bottom of the recess 33a. The pair of disk portions 52, which have a larger diameter than the rotating shaft portion 51, are rotatable inside the disk accommodating portion 33b without contacting the bottom of the disk accommodating portion 33b.

Specifically, when the rotating shaft portion 51 of the rolling body 50 is supported in the recess 33a, as shown in FIG. 3, a sufficient gap S1 is formed between the pair of disk portions 52 and the disk storage portion 33b even in a narrow area, and a gap S2 that is approximately twice the gap S1 (S2 ≈ 2 × S1) is formed in a wide area. Therefore, the pair of disk portions 52 do not reliably come into contact with the disk storage portion 33b, and thus smooth relative rotation of the rolling body 50 with respect to the mobile toy 30 is permitted.

Furthermore, as shown in FIG. 4, one wheel member 34 is rotatably housed inside the case 31 in a portion corresponding to the support portion 33. That is, the wheel member 34 is provided in the center in the direction of movement of the movable toy 30. Also, as shown in FIG. 5 and FIG. 6, the wheel member 34 is provided in the center in the direction perpendicular to the direction of movement of the movable toy 30 (the up-down direction in the figure).

Here, the wheel member 34 corresponds to the rotating part in the present invention, and rotates in contact with the surface SF when the moving toy 30 is moved on the surface SF. The wheel member 34 comprises a wheel body 34a, an axle 34b provided at the center of rotation of the wheel body 34a, and a rubber ring 34c attached to the outer periphery of the wheel body 34a. The axle 34b is rotatably supported inside the case 31, so that the wheel member 34 rotates smoothly around the axle 34b inside the case 31.

As shown in Figs. 2, 6 and 7, the wheel member 34 protrudes from the first opening 32a provided in the cover member 32 toward the surface SF. That is, the side of the wheel member 34 on which the surface SF is located (the lower side in Fig. 7) is exposed to the outside of the case 31 through the first opening 32a of the cover member 32. The protruding height of the wheel member 34 from the bottom surface 32b of the cover member 32 is H1, as shown in Fig. 4.

Here, a total of four arc-shaped second protrusions 32c are integrally provided on the bottom surface of the moving toy 30, i.e., the bottom surface 32b of the cover member 32. These second protrusions 32c form dummy wheels of the moving toy 30, and can slide against the surface SF when the player holds and moves the moving toy 30. Since a large area of sliding contact with the surface SF increases the friction with the surface SF, as shown in this embodiment, it is preferable that the four second protrusions 32c are arc-shaped with a small sliding area with the surface SF. The protruding height H2 of the total of four second protrusions 32c from the bottom surface 32b is smaller than the protruding height H1 of the wheel member 34 (H2<H1).

In other words, the protruding height H1 of the wheel member 34 is greater than the protruding height H2 of the total of four second protrusions 32c. This makes it possible for the player to easily rotate the wheel member 34 even when the moving toy 30 is tilted forward, backward, left or right relative to the surface SF. In addition, by providing multiple second protrusions 32c on the bottom surface 32b so that they surround the wheel member 34, the moving toy 30 can be supported on the surface SF by the wheel member 34 and at least two second protrusions 32c in any orientation.

As shown by the hollow arrow M in FIG. 4, the wheel member 34 can move in the opposite direction to the side where the surface SF is located relative to the support member 33. However, the amount of movement of the wheel member 34 relative to the support member 33 is small, and even when the wheel member 34 moves the most in the direction of the hollow arrow M relative to the support member 33, the protruding height of the wheel member 34 from the bottom surface 32b does not exceed the protruding height H2 of the total of four second convex portions 32c.

This prevents the wheel member 34 from moving too far in the direction of the white arrow M, and allows the wheel member 34 to make firm contact with the surface SF, ensuring that the wheel member 34 can rotate.

Here, when the player grasps the mobile toy 30 and moves it on the surface SF, or when the rolling body 50 is supported by the support part 33, the wheel member 34 can move in the direction of the white arrow M relative to the support member 33.

Also, as shown in Figures 4, 5 and 7, the wheel member 34 protrudes from the second opening 33c provided in the recess 33a into the interior of the recess 33a. That is, a part of the wheel member 34 is exposed in the recess 33a. In other words, the side opposite to the side where the surface SF of the wheel member 34 is located (the upper side in Figure 7) is exposed to the outside of the case 31 (the inside of the recess 33a) through the second opening 33c.

As a result, as shown in FIG. 7, when the rotating shaft portion 51 of the rolling element 50 is supported in the recess 33a, the rotating shaft portion 51 is reliably in contact with the rubber ring 34c of the wheel member 34.

Furthermore, as described above, the wheel member 34 can move in the direction of the outline arrow M (see FIG. 4) relative to the support member 33, so that the amount of protrusion of the wheel member 34 into the recess 33a can be increased. This ensures a state of contact between the wheel member 34 and the rotating shaft portion 51 of the rolling body 50, making it possible to rotate the rolling body 50 more reliably.

The portion of the wheel member 34 exposed in the recess 33a is provided on the opposite side of the recess 33a from the side where the inclined surface SF2 is located (to the left of the recess 33a in the figure). Therefore, the rotating shaft portion 51 rolling from the guide portion 35 can be received by the rubber ring 34c. Therefore, the rotating shaft portion 51 rotates inside the recess 33a as the wheel member 34 rotates without slipping.

Here, the outer periphery of the rotating shaft portion 51 is formed with uneven portions 51a formed in a roughly gear tooth shape. This also prevents the rotating shaft portion 51 from slipping (idling) against the rubber ring 34c.

The rubber ring 34c of the wheel member 34 is in contact with both the surface SF and the rotating shaft portion 51, and is made of a material (such as natural rubber) that has a higher coefficient of friction than the material (such as plastic) of the case 31 that forms the moving toy 30. Therefore, when the player moves the moving toy 30 on the surface SF, the wheel member 34 rotates reliably without slipping on the surface SF. Furthermore, the rotating shaft portion 51 supported by the recess 33a also rotates reliably inside the recess 33a without slipping. Here, the rubber ring 34c corresponds to the rotating member in this invention.

As shown in FIG. 7, when a player grips the moving toy 30 and moves it in the direction of the arrow M1 on the surface SF, the wheel member 34 rotates, which causes the wheel member 34 to rotate the rolling body 50 supported by the support portion 33. Specifically, the wheel member 34 rotates in the direction of the arrow R1 (counterclockwise direction). Then, the rolling body 50 supported by the support portion 33 rotates in a rotation direction R2 (clockwise direction) that is opposite to the rotation direction R1 of the wheel member 34.

In this way, while supported by the support portion 33, the rolling body 50 rotates in a rotation direction R2 that is opposite to the rotation direction R1 of the wheel member 34. This further enhances the interest.

[Guide section]
As shown in Fig. 4, a guide portion 35 that guides the rolling elements 50 to roll on the support portion 33 is provided on one longitudinal side (the right side in the figure) of the case 31. The guide portion 35 includes a first raceway portion 35a and a second raceway portion 35b, as shown in Figs. 1, 2, and 5. Specifically, the first raceway portion 35a is disposed on the side opposite to the side on which the surface SF is located, and is narrower in the lateral direction of the case 31. In contrast, the second raceway portion 35b is disposed on the side on which the surface SF is located, and is wider than the first raceway portion 35a in the lateral direction of the case 31.

The first raceway 35a is disposed in the center of the second raceway 35b in the short direction of the case 31, and is adapted to fit between a pair of disk portions 52 (see FIG. 8) of the rolling element 50. The first raceway 35a also has a horizontal surface SF1 that extends straight in the longitudinal direction of the case 31, and the rotating shaft portion 51 (see FIG. 8) of the rolling element 50 is not in contact with the horizontal surface SF1.

Furthermore, on the side of the first raceway portion 35a where the recess 33a is located (the left side in FIG. 4), an inclined surface SF2 that continues to the horizontal surface SF1 is provided. The inclined surface SF2 is inclined so as to descend from the side where the horizontal surface SF1 is located toward the recess 33a toward the side where the surface SF is located. The rotating shaft portion 51 of the rolling element 50 is in contact with the inclined surface SF2. In other words, the rotating shaft portion 51 of the rolling element 50 is guided toward the recess 33a while rolling on the inclined surface SF2.

The pair of disks 52 provided on the rolling element 50 are each adapted to roll on the surface SF3 of the second raceway 35b. At that time, the rotating shaft 51 having the uneven portion 51a is in a non-contact state with the horizontal surface SF1. Therefore, the rolling element 50 can roll smoothly without rattling in the guide portion 35. In this way, the rolling element 50 can move along the first raceway 35a and the second raceway 35b in the guide portion 35 without falling off.

Here, the height dimension from the surface SF of the portion of the inclined surface SF2 close to the recess 33a is H3. Meanwhile, on the opposite side of the support portion 33 from the side where the recess 33a is located, a first protrusion 33d is provided whose height dimension from the surface SF is H4, which is greater than the height dimension H3 from the surface SF of the portion of the inclined surface SF2 close to the recess 33a (H4>H3).

As a result, even if the rolling element 50 rolls vigorously from the guide portion 35 toward the support portion 33, the rolling element 50 can be reliably positioned at the support portion 33. In other words, since the height (dimension H4) of the first convex portion 33d is higher than the portion (dimension H3) of the inclined surface SF2 closer to the concave portion 33a, the rotating shaft portion 51 of the rolling element 50 does not exceed the first convex portion 33d. Therefore, the rotating shaft portion 51 of the rolling element 50 can reliably fit inside the concave portion 33a.

Here, the height dimension of the first raceway portion 35a forming the guide portion 35 from the second raceway portion 35b is L1. The height dimension L1 of the first raceway portion 35a is smaller than the distance L2 (see FIG. 7) between the outer periphery of the rotating shaft portion 51 of the rolling element 50 and the outer periphery of the disk portion 52 (L1<L2). As a result, the rolling element 50 rolling in the guide portion 35 has the pair of disk portions 52 rolling on the surface SF3 of the second raceway portion 35b in the guide portion 35. At that time, the first raceway portion 35a enters between the pair of disk portions 52, so the rolling element 50 does not fall off the guide portion 35.

Then, on the discharge side of the rolling element 50 in the guide section 35, i.e., the side where the recess 33a is located, the rotating shaft section 51 rolls on the inclined surface SF2, and the pair of disk sections 52 move away from the surface SF3 of the second raceway section 35b. After that, the rotating shaft section 51 enters the inside of the recess 33a, and the rolling element 50 is supported by the support section 33 (see FIG. 3). In other words, the distance L3 between the bottom of the recess 33a and the bottom of the disk storage section 33b is larger than the distance L2 (see FIG. 7) between the outer periphery of the rotating shaft section 51 and the outer periphery of the disk section 52 by the amount of the gap S2 shown in FIG. 3 (L3>L2).

As shown in Figs. 1 to 4 and 6, the guide section 35 has a base mounting section 35c on the introduction side (right side in the figure) of the rolling element 50 that can be mounted on the base component 70 shown in Fig. 9. Specifically, the base mounting section 35c is disposed on the side opposite the side of the guide section 35 where the recess 33a is located, and on the side where the surface SF is located.

The base mounting portion 35c is recessed on the side opposite to the side where the surface SF is located, so that the corners of the base component 70 can fit into the base mounting portion 35c. Furthermore, on the side where the surface SF is located, a pair of fitting recesses 35d are provided into which the fitting protrusions 71 (see FIG. 9) of the base component 70 fit.

[Additional parts mounting section]
As shown in Fig. 4, in the moving direction of the moving toy 30 (left-right direction in the figure), an additional part mounting part 36 is provided on the side opposite to the side where the guide part 35 of the case 31 is located (left side in the figure). The additional part mounting part 36 is formed in a substantially rectangular parallelepiped shape, and a total of four fitting protrusions 36a (only two are shown in the figure) are integrally provided on the upper surface. These fitting protrusions 36a are adapted to fit into fitting recesses (not shown) provided on the additional block (additional part) AB shown by the two-dot chain line in Fig. 3. In other words, the additional block AB can be mounted on the additional part mounting part 36.

Here, the additional block AB has, for example, a character's face on its front and a shape specific to that character. Several variations of the additional block AB are prepared, and the player can select and attach them at will. This can further increase the interest. Note that, as shown in FIG. 3, when the additional block AB is attached to the additional part attachment section 36, the additional block AB and the rolling body 50 do not come into contact with each other.

[Rolling elements]
8, the rolling element 50 has a small-diameter rotating shaft portion 51 and a pair of disk portions 52 that are integrally provided on both axial sides of the rotating shaft portion 51 and have a larger diameter than the rotating shaft portion 51. The rolling element 50 can roll around the rotating shaft portion 51, and the outer periphery of the rotating shaft portion 51 is provided with uneven portions 51a formed in a substantially gear tooth shape.

As shown in FIG. 8, a total of four mating protrusions 52a are integrally formed on the outer surfaces of the pair of disk portions 52. These mating protrusions 52a protrude in the axial direction of the rotating shaft portion 51, and a cover 53 can be attached to each of the mating protrusions 52a. Here, mating recesses (not shown) into which the mating protrusions 52a are fitted are provided on the inside of the cover 53.

The surface of the cover 53 may also have, for example, a character's face, which increases the interest when the cover 53 rolls as the rolling body 50 rolls. The cover 53 is detachable from the disk portion 52, and several different variations are available. Therefore, the player can freely select and attach the cover 53 with the design of their choice. In Figures 1, 2, and 8, the cover 53 is indicated by a two-dot chain line.

[Base parts and track parts]
9, the moving toy set 10 including the moving toy 30 and the rolling element 50 can be played with in combination with a base part 70 to which a number of track parts 80, 81, 82 are attached. The base part 70 is formed in a plate shape and is provided on a surface SF. Therefore, the track parts 80, 81, 82 attached to the base part 70 are also provided on the surface SF via the base part 70.

On the surface of the base component 70, a number of fitting protrusions 71 are arranged in an orderly fashion at a predetermined interval, and each of the track components 80, 81, and 82 can be attached to any of these fitting protrusions 71. The back surfaces BS (see Figures 10 to 12) of the track components 80, 81, and 82 are provided with fitting recesses (not shown) into which the fitting protrusions 71 can fit.

Specifically, track component 80 is a slope rail block, track component 81 is a straight rail block, and track component 82 is a curved rail block. By combining these components in any combination so that they are connected to each other and attaching them to base component 70, it is possible to create a layout that is shaped like a slide and is formed in a roughly L-shape, as shown in FIG. 9, for example.

The guide part 35 of the moving toy 30 is connected to the track part 81 (track part 81 located at the bottom left of FIG. 9) located at the corner of the base part 70. Therefore, the rolling body 50 that rolls on each of the track parts 80, 81, 82 moves as shown by the arrow M2, and rolls on the guide part 35 following the track parts 80, 81, 82. After that, the rolling body 50 is supported by the support part 33 of the moving toy 30, as shown by the dashed line in FIG. 9.

The rolling body 50, which is placed on the track part 80 that forms a track at a high position relative to the surface of the base part 70, rolls on the track part 80, the track part 81 connected to it, the track part 82, and a pair of track parts 81 in this order, until it reaches above the guide part 35 of the moving toy 30.

In addition to the track parts 80, 81, and 82, various blocks (not shown) such as building blocks, doll blocks, and even animal blocks can be attached to the base part 70. This allows the player to enjoy creating countless layouts, further increasing the fun factor.

[Details of track parts]
10, the raceway part 80 includes a narrow first raceway part 80a and a second raceway part 80b that is wider than the first raceway part 80a. The first raceway part 80a is disposed in the center of the second raceway part 80b in the width direction of the raceway part 80, and is inserted between the pair of disk parts 52 of the rolling element 50 (see FIG. 8).

Then, the inclined portion of the surface of the first raceway portion 80a is integrally provided with a concave-convex portion 80c. The concave-convex portion 80c is formed in a generally gear-tooth shape, and the concave-convex portion 51a (see FIG. 8) of the rotating shaft portion 51 can mesh with the concave-convex portion 80c. On the other hand, when the concave-convex portion 51a meshes with the concave-convex portion 80c, the pair of disk portions 52 (see FIG. 8) are not in contact with the surface 80d of the second raceway portion 80b.

As a result, when the rolling body 50 rolls on the inclined portion of the track part 80, the uneven portion 51a meshes with the uneven portion 80c, allowing the rolling body 50 to roll reliably on the inclined portion of the track part 80 without slipping.

As shown in Figures 11 and 12, track parts 81 and 82 also have narrow first track portions 81a and 82a, respectively, and wide second track portions 81b and 82b. The cross-sectional shapes of these track parts 81 and 82 along the width direction are both the same as the cross-sectional shape of the introduction side (right side in Figure 4) of guide portion 35 in moving toy 30.

In other words, the surfaces 81c, 82c of the first raceway portions 81a, 82a are not in contact with the rotating shaft portion 51 of the rolling element 50 (see FIG. 8), and the surfaces 81d, 82d of the second raceway portions 81b, 82b are in contact with and roll on the pair of disk portions 52 (see FIG. 8) of the rolling element 50. In this way, the rolling element 50 can reliably roll on the raceway components 80, 81, 82, which in turn can more reliably improve the interest.

As described above in detail, according to this embodiment, a support portion 33 is provided that supports the rollable rolling body 50, and the support portion 33 is provided with a wheel member 34 that rotates as the moving toy 30 moves, and the wheel member 34 rotates the rolling body 50 supported by the support portion 33. As a result, the rolling body 50 can be rotated by the wheel member 34 simply by moving the moving toy 30, which can further increase the interest.

In addition, according to this embodiment, the mobile toy 30 has a guide portion 35 that guides the rolling body 50 to the support portion 33, so that the rolling body 50 can be smoothly guided to the support portion 33 via the guide portion 35.

Furthermore, according to this embodiment, the rolling body 50 rolls along the track parts 80, 81, 82 provided on the surface SF, and rolls on the guide part 35 following the track parts 80, 81, 82, so that the rolling body 50 can be moved from the track parts 80, 81, 82 to the moving toy 30.

In addition, according to this embodiment, the track parts 80, 81, and 82 are attached to the base part 70, and the moving toy 30 has a base attachment part 35c that is attached to the base part 70, so that the player can play with the moving toy 30 integrated with the base part 70.

Furthermore, according to this embodiment, the moving toy 30 has an additional part mounting section 36 on which the additional block AB is mounted on the side opposite the guide section 35 in the moving direction of the moving toy 30, which further enhances the interest of the moving toy 30.

In addition, according to this embodiment, the support portion 33 has a recess 33a that positions the rolling body 50 at a predetermined position on the support portion 33, which improves the sense of unity between the moving toy 30 and the rolling body 50, thereby improving the appearance of the moving toy set 10.

Furthermore, according to this embodiment, the recess 33a is recessed toward the surface SF, and the guide portion 35 has an inclined surface SF2 that descends toward the recess 33a, so that the rolling body 50 that rolls on the guide portion 35 can be smoothly guided into the recess 33a.

In addition, according to this embodiment, the first protrusion 33d is provided on the side opposite the side where the inclined surface SF2 of the recess 33a is located, and has a height dimension H4 from the surface SF that is greater than the height dimension H3 from the surface SF of the portion of the inclined surface SF2 closer to the recess 33a. Therefore, even if the rolling body 50 rolls vigorously from the guide portion 35 toward the support portion 33, the rolling body 50 can be reliably positioned at the support portion 33.

Furthermore, according to this embodiment, a portion of the wheel member 34 is exposed in the recess 33a, so that the rotational force of the wheel member 34 can be reliably transmitted to the rotating shaft portion 51 of the rolling body 50.

In addition, according to this embodiment, the exposed portion of the wheel member 34 is provided on the side opposite to the side where the inclined surface SF2 of the recess 33a is located, so that the rotating shaft portion 51 rolling from the guide portion 35 can be reliably brought into contact with the rubber ring 34c.

Furthermore, according to this embodiment, the bottom surface 32b of the lid member 32 forming the moving toy 30 has a total of four second protrusions 32c that can slide against the surface SF, so that the moving toy 30 can be moved stably on the surface SF.

In addition, according to this embodiment, the protruding height H1 of the wheel member 34 from the bottom surface 32b is greater than the protruding height H2 of the total of four second protrusions 32c from the bottom surface 32b (H1>H2), so the wheel member 34 can be easily rotated even when the player tilts the mobile toy 30 back and forth or left and right relative to the surface SF.

Furthermore, according to this embodiment, the wheel member 34 can move relative to the support portion 33 on the side opposite to the side on which the surface SF is located, so that when a player grips the moving toy 30 and moves it on the surface SF, the amount of protrusion into the recess 33a of the wheel member 34 increases. This allows the wheel member 34 to be reliably in contact with the rotating shaft portion 51 of the rolling body 50, and thus allows the rolling body 50 to rotate more reliably.

In addition, according to this embodiment, the wheel member 34 contacts both the surface SF and the rotating shaft portion 51 of the rolling body 50, so that the rolling body 50 can be rotated in a rotation direction R2 opposite to the rotation direction R1 of the wheel member 34, further improving the interest.

Furthermore, according to this embodiment, the wheel member 34 includes a rubber ring 34c made of a material with a higher friction coefficient than the material of the case 31 forming the mobile toy 30, and the rubber ring 34c comes into contact with the surface SF and the rotating shaft portion 51 of the rolling body 50, so that the wheel member 34 can be reliably rotated even on the slippery surface SF. Also, the rotating shaft portion 51 supported by the recess 33a can be reliably rotated inside the recess 33a.

In addition, according to this embodiment, the wheel member 34 is provided at the center of the moving direction of the moving toy 30, so the wheel member 34 can be rotated reliably regardless of the degree of inclination of the moving toy 30 in the forward/rearward direction.

Furthermore, according to this embodiment, the wheel member 34 is provided in the center in a direction perpendicular to the direction of movement of the moving toy 30, so the wheel member 34 can be rotated reliably regardless of the degree of inclination of the moving toy 30 in the left-right direction.

The present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiment, and various modifications are possible without departing from the spirit of the present invention. For example, in the above-described rolling element 50, the uneven portion 51a is provided on the outer periphery of the rotating shaft portion 51, and the uneven portion 51a is meshed with the uneven portion 80c of the track part 80, but the present invention is not limited to this, and the uneven portion 51a may be omitted and a rubber tube with a high friction coefficient may be attached to the outer periphery of the rotating shaft portion 51. In this case, the uneven portion 80c of the track part 80 can be omitted, and the sliding of the rotating shaft portion 51 relative to the track part 80 can also be eliminated.

In addition, in the above-described embodiment, the track components 80, 81, and 82 are attached to the base component 70, but the present invention is not limited to this. The track components 80, 81, and 82 may be directly connected to each other without being attached to the base component 70, and the track components 80, 81, and 82 may be placed on a desk or the like in a connected state.
