Moving toy

Abstract

Disclosed is a moving toy including: a shell body including a plurality of shell pieces placed side by side adjacent shell pieces of which are connected with each other to be capable of bending and stretching, the shell body being configured so as to capable of being both in a shrinking state in which the shell body curls up and in a unfolding state in which the shell body is released by bending and stretching; and a forcing member to allow the shell body to be in the shrinking state by an urging force, wherein the shell body includes an unfolding member on one surface side of the shell body, and the unfolding member is configured to push the shell body from the one surface side against the urging force by the forcing member to allow the shell body to be temporary and intermittently in the unfolding state.

1 . A moving toy including:
 a shell body including a plurality of shell pieces placed side by side adjacent shell pieces of which are connected with each other to be capable of bending and stretching, the shell body being configured so as to capable of being both in a shrinking state in which the shell body curls up and in a unfolding state in which the shell body is released by bending and stretching; and   a forcing member to allow the shell body to be in the shrinking state by an urging force, wherein   the shell body includes an unfolding member on one surface side of the shell body, and   the unfolding member is configured to push the shell body from the one surface side against the urging force by the forcing member to allow the shell body to be temporary and intermittently in the unfolding state.   
   
   
       2 . The moving toy according to  claim 1  further comprising a travelling member to allow the moving toy to travel on a floor surface. 
   
   
       3 . The moving toy according to  claim 2 , wherein the travelling member includes a wheel for allowing the moving toy to travel by a rolling motion on the floor surface. 
   
   
       4 . The moving toy according to  claim 3 , wherein the shell body is configured so that both end portions of the shell body abut to the floor surface to allow the wheel to float above the floor surface when the shell body is in the shrinking state. 
   
   
       5 . The moving toy according to  claim 3 , wherein the moving toy is configured so that the shell body covers the travelling member when the shell body is in the shrinking state. 
   
   
       6 . The moving toy according to  claim 1  further comprising on the one surface side a rolling member to hit the floor surface so that the moving toy rolls on the floor surface as a reaction of the hitting when the shell body is in the shrinking state.
