Abstract
A wobbling toy (20) comprising: a body (21), a shaft (23) attached to the body, and a wheel (24) which is rotatable around the shaft (23), for moving the body, wherein the wheel (24) is attached out of perpendicular to the shaft (23). The wheel comprises a magnet (24a and 24b) and the wobbling toy can travel by a magnetic force which exerts to the magnet of the wheel.
Claims13
A wobbling toy comprising:
- a body;
- a shaft attached to the body;
- and
- a wheel which is rotatable around and attached to the shaft and tilted at an angle to a plane perpendicular to the shaft, to move the body, the wheel comprising a magnet, wherein the magnet of the wheel has an S-pole and an N-pole in a thickness direction of the wheel so that the wobbling toy can travel by a magnetic force exerted on the magnet of the wheel.

A wobbling toy comprising:
- a body having an approximately symmetrical shape with respect to a plane, an axis of rotation, attached to the body in a direction approximately perpendicular to the plane of symmetry;
- and
- a wheel which is rotatable around the axis of rotation, for moving the body, wherein the wheel has an approximate rectangular section with a width enough to move the body stable by rotation of the wheel, and the wheel is attached to the axis of rotation to tilt at an angle to a plane perpendicular to the axis,
- wherein the body is divided into a plurality of parts, one of which is connected with a next part by a pivot, to swing approximately horizontally with respect to the next part.
1 more element
A wobbling toy set comprising:
- a wobbling toy member comprising a first magnetic body, the first magnetic body comprising a magnetic wheel which has an S-pole and an N-pole in a thickness direction thereof, a shaft attached to the magnetic body, and a wheel which is rotatable around the shaft, for moving the body, wherein the wheel is attached to the shaft, to tilt at an angle to a plane perpendicular to the shaft;
- and
- a driving device comprising a driving first pulley, a second pulley driven by the first pulley, and a belt which is wrapped around the first and second pulleys, wherein a second magnetic body which exerts to the first magnetic body to move the wobbling toy member, is attached to the belt, the second magnetic body comprising a magnet which has an S-pole and an N-pole arranged in a direction approximately parallel to a surface on which the wobbling toy member travels.
A wobbling toy set comprising:
- a ground plate,
- a wobbling toy member provided on an upper surface of the ground plate, comprising a body, a shaft attached to the body, and a magnetic wheel which is rotatable around the shaft, for moving the body, wherein the magnetic wheel having an S-pole and an N-pole in a thickness direction thereof is attached out of perpendicular to the shaft, and
- a driving device provided under the ground plate, comprising a magnetic body which magnetically exerts to the magnetic wheel, and a transport member for transporting the magnetic body along a lower surface of the ground plate and along a desired transportation course.
A wobbling toy set comprising:
- a ground plate,
- wobbling toy means with a wheel, for moving forward on an upper surface of the ground plate and wobbling by rotation of the wheel, and
- rotating means for rotating the wheel of the wobbling toy means from under the ground plate.
