Running toy

Abstract

A running toy having: a direct current motor for steering which is remote controlled; and a steering arm to change a direction of a wheel, the steering arm being operated from side to side with respect to a vehicle body by a power of the direct current motor for steering, wherein a rack tooth is formed on the steering arm, the direct current motor for steering is allowed to perform a normal rotation and a reverse rotation, and a pinion gear which meshes the rack tooth is attached to a shaft of the direct current motor for steering via a centrifugal clutch.

1 . A running toy comprising: 
 a direct current motor for steering which is remote controlled; and    a steering arm to change a direction of a wheel, the steering arm being operated from side to side with respect to a vehicle body by a power of the direct current motor for steering,    wherein a rack tooth is formed on the steering arm, the direct current motor for steering is allowed to perform a normal rotation and a reverse rotation, and a pinion gear which meshes the rack tooth is attached to a shaft of the direct current motor for steering via a centrifugal clutch.    
   
   
       2 . The running toy as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein the wheel and the direct current motor for steering are provided at a position in front of a position of the steering arm in the vehicle body.  
   
   
       3 . The running toy as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein a spring to return the steering arm to a neutral position in a lateral direction of the vehicle body in a state where the direct current motor for steering is not operated, is provided.  
   
   
       4 . The running toy as claimed in  claim 2 , wherein a spring to return the steering arm to a neutral position in a lateral direction of the vehicle body in a state where the direct current motor for steering is not operated is provided.  
   
   
       5 . The running toy as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein the pinion gear is provided coaxial to the shaft, the centrifugal clutch is attached to the shaft, and when the centrifugal clutch is operated in a radial direction by a rotation of the direct current motor for steering, the centrifugal clutch is pressed on the pinion gear to rotate the pinion gear together with the shaft.
