Driving toy and playing device using the same
View Patent ↗The purpose of the present invention is to provide a driving toy and a playing device using same, the driving toy being provided with auxiliary wheels for guiding the driving toy to travel along a track, and capable of travelling on various tracks by allowing the auxiliary wheels to be installed by changing the positions thereof according to the type of tracks.
1. A traveling toy comprising:
a toy body including multiple wheels;
auxiliary wheels installed on the toy body and configured to come into contact with at least one of a rail unit or side wall portions installed on a track;
a body switch unit including,
a body switch lever configured to operate according to a user's manipulation,
a first contact configured to be displaced according to the operation of the body switch lever, and
a second contact spaced apart from the first contact by a predetermined distance, in which one side surface of the second contact is electrically connected to the first contact depending on a displacement of the first contact; and
a switch unit disposed on another side surface of the second contact and configured such that, when one side of a switch lever comes into contact with the rail unit installed on the track and another side of the switch lever is displaced, the second contact is displaced so as to be electrically connected to the first contact, thereby performing an ON/Off switching operation such that driving power of a battery is supplied to the traveling toy.
2. The traveling toy of claim 1 , further comprising:
a switch configured to perform an ON/OFF operation to supply driving power,
wherein the switch includes:
a magnetic switching lever installed on the bottom surface of the traveling toy, wherein the magnetic switching lever is configured to be displaced from an OFF position to an ON position by an item, which is attached to the bottom surface of the traveling toy and includes a magnetic body therein, and a magnetic field so as to connect a first electrode and a second electrode such that driving power is supplied;
a leaf spring configured to cause the first and second electrodes to be electrically connected to each other depending on the ON/OFF position of the magnetic switching lever; and
an elastic unit installed on the leaf spring,
wherein, when the switching lever is located at the ON position, the elastic unit is stretched and when the item is separated, the elastic unit is compressed to provide an elastic force such that the magnetic switching lever is located at the OFF position.
