Conventionally, various line sensor type traveling toys that travel (trace) along a line provided on a traveling surface have been disclosed (for example, see Patent Documents 1 and 2). The traveling toy is one that uses a line printed on the traveling surface as a traveling course, or that draws a white line on the ground with chalk or the like, and has no degree of freedom in the course, or one that cannot be used indoors. there were.
Therefore, in order to give the traveling course of the traveling toy used indoors a degree of freedom, a traveling toy set in which the user can draw the traveling course with an oil-based pen or the like on the paper surface has been proposed.
JP-A-11-123285 Japanese Patent Publication No. 44-28739

  However, the traveling toy set using the traveling course allows the user to freely draw the traveling course, but cannot erase the course once drawn, so the course change or drawing failure cannot be corrected or used once. The paper that was no longer needed had to be discarded.

  The present invention provides a traveling toy set that includes a traveling support body and a line sensor type traveling body in which a user can freely draw a traveling course and the drawn course can be erased and corrected.

The present invention provides a traveling surface provided with a traveling surface in which a porous layer having different transparency in a liquid absorbing state and a non-liquid absorbing state in which a low refractive index pigment is fixed to a binder resin in a dispersed state is provided at least in part. A support for use, a pair of left and right reflective optical sensors that detect a hue change portion that is expressed by applying a liquid on the porous layer, a control circuit that controls an input signal detected by the optical sensor, and Traveling comprising a pair of left and right motors operated by output signals from the control circuit, traveling means driven by the motors, and a line sensor type traveling body that travels on the detected continuous hue change portion. Requires a toy set.
Further, the line sensor type traveling body is controlled by switching the switch so that the output signal from the control circuit to each motor is reversed to the left and right before switching, and is expressed by applying a liquid on the porous layer. When detecting the hue change part or the hue change part provided on the running support, it is necessary to reverse the traveling direction or to rotate.
Further, the running surface has a lightness value Vw in the liquid absorption state of the porous layer and a lightness value Vd in the non-liquid absorption state satisfying 1 <Vd−Vw, and the running support is a running surface. It is required that the outer periphery has an edge portion and that the brightness value of the edge portion is less than 7.
Further, it is a requirement that the traveling toy set and water adhering means are included.
In the present invention, “front” indicates the traveling direction of the traveling body.

  According to claim 1 of the present invention, the user can freely form a course, and it is an interesting toy set that can easily make corrections and change courses by writing errors.

  According to claim 2, an operation other than the line trace can be given to the traveling body, which is more interesting.

  According to the third aspect, the sensor can surely recognize the course formed on the running surface by the user.

  According to the fourth aspect, even when the course is not provided on the running surface or when the course formed by the user is erased, the running body can be used without coming out of the running surface.

  According to the fifth aspect, the traveling body can surely recognize the border portion.

  According to the sixth aspect, a course that can be recognized by the traveling body can be easily and reliably formed.

  The traveling toy set of the present invention comprises a traveling support having a traveling surface having a porous layer having different transparency in a liquid-absorbing state and a non-liquid-absorbing state, and a liquid is applied onto the porous layer. And a line sensor type traveling body that travels on the detected line. Furthermore, it is a traveling toy set in which a water adhering means such as a pen or a stamp tool provided with a fiber processing pen body at the writing tip is set.

The line sensor type traveling body includes a pair of left and right reflective optical sensors, a control circuit connected to the optical sensor, a pair of left and right motors connected to the control circuit, and traveling means such as wheels and legs. And at least a power supply.
The reflective optical sensor is composed of a light emitter and a light receiver that detect a hue change portion (particularly, a continuous one as a line) that appears by applying a liquid on the porous layer, A pair of left and right are provided at positions where the traveling surface of the vehicle body can be recognized. Since the light irradiated from the light emitter to the running surface is reflected and the receiver recognizes it, or the running surface absorbs the light and the receiver cannot recognize it, the trace operation occurs, so between the left and right reflective optical sensors Trace operation is performed for lines with a width narrower than the distance.
As the light emitter, an LED or a light bulb that emits infrared light, red light, green light, ultraviolet light, or the like can be used. In particular, as the light emitted from the light emitter, red light or infrared light with high recognizability of the light receiver is preferably used.
As the light receiver, a phototransistor, a photodiode, a CDS, or the like can be used.

The control circuit controls an input signal detected by the reflection type optical sensor and determines a driving method of the motor. In the left and right reflection type optical sensors, the light irradiated from the light emitter to the traveling surface is received by the light receiver. Depending on whether or not is recognized, an output signal is sent to each motor, and the left and right motors are adjusted to one of forward rotation, stop, and reverse rotation.
In addition, when the control method is changed by switching the switch (for example, the output signal is sent so that the left motor is driven when the right sensor cannot detect the reflected light before the switching. The output signal is sent to drive the motor, or when the reflected light cannot be detected, either the left or right motor continues to rotate for a certain period of time), the traveling direction is detected when the traveling body detects the line. It is also possible to increase the interest as a toy by inverting, causing a right rotation, a left rotation, a rotational motion combining them, and the like.

  The motor is provided as a pair of left and right to drive the left and right moving means (wheels and legs), and drives the moving means connected to each other according to a signal output from the control circuit. .

  Further, the traveling body can be provided with a sound generating device or a decorative light emitting body such as an LED, thereby improving the action property and increasing the interest as a toy.

The travel support is provided with a travel surface provided with a porous layer, in the form of a sheet made of fabric, film, paper, etc., in the form of a three-dimensional object made of a resin molded product, , And a combination of these.
In addition, a portion of the traveling surface where the porous layer is not formed, or a periphery of the traveling surface is provided with a member imitating a background object such as a mountain or a tunnel, or a printed material such as a photograph or a picture. By forming or arranging a model or printed matter related to the traveling body, it is possible to adopt a configuration that matches the appearance of the traveling body, and the interest as a toy can be further increased.

A general-purpose one can be applied to the traveling support, for example, a resin such as thermoplastic resin, synthetic rubber or elastomer, wood, metal, glass, ceramics, stone, synthetic paper, cloth, synthetic leather, Leather, soft film, etc. are used. In particular, resins, papers, fabrics, and the like are preferably used because of their high moldability and storage properties.
In addition, in order to stabilize the traveling performance of the traveling body, it is preferable that the portion of the traveling support that forms the traveling surface is a flat surface or has a small unevenness.
In addition, the support may be waterproofed, and in particular, among the materials described above, those that permeate liquids (penetrating materials) such as paper, fabric, leather, synthetic leather, etc. It is desirable to form a non-permeable layer and prevent liquid penetration. The impermeable layer can be obtained by printing and applying an emulsion of a liquid impermeable substance such as a resin, or by providing a water impermeable sheet.
Further, the color can be improved by coloring the support itself or providing a colored layer on the surface of the support.

The porous layer formed on the support (on the running surface) is a layer in which a low refractive index pigment is fixed in a dispersed state together with a binder resin.
Examples of the low refractive index pigment include silicic acid and salts thereof, barite powder, barium sulfate, barium carbonate, calcium carbonate, gypsum, clay, talc, alumina white, magnesium carbonate, and the like. It is in the range of 1.8, and when the liquid composition is absorbed, good transparency is exhibited.
Examples of the salt of silicic acid include aluminum silicate, aluminum calcium silicate, sodium aluminum silicate, aluminum potassium silicate, potassium silicate, magnesium silicate, sodium silicate, and magnesium potassium silicate.
The particle size of the low refractive index pigment is not particularly limited, but 0.03 to 10.0 μm is preferably used.
Two or more of the low refractive index pigments can be used in combination.
In addition, silicic acid is mentioned as a low refractive index pigment used suitably.
The silicic acid may be obtained by a dry process, but silicic acid produced by a wet process (hereinafter referred to as wet process silicic acid) is particularly effective and satisfies practicality.
This point will be described below.
Silicic acid is produced as amorphous amorphous silicic acid, and according to its production method, a dry process using a gas phase reaction such as thermal decomposition of silicon halide such as silicon tetrachloride (hereinafter referred to as dry process silicic acid) In general, the wet process silicic acid is most suitable for the purpose of functioning as the porous layer intended by the present invention. .
This is because the dry process silicic acid and the wet process silicic acid have different structures. The dry process silicic acid forms a three-dimensional structure in which the silicic acid is closely bound, whereas the wet process silicic acid is long due to condensation of silicic acid. It has a so-called two-dimensional structure part that forms a molecular arrangement.
Therefore, since the molecular structure becomes rough compared to the dry method silicic acid, when wet method silicic acid is applied to the porous layer, it is excellent in the diffused reflection of light in the dry state compared to the system using the dry method silicic acid, Therefore, it is guessed that the concealment property in a normal state becomes large.
In addition, since the porous layer of the present invention absorbs water, the wet process silicic acid has more hydroxyl groups present as silanol groups on the particle surface than the dry process silicic acid, and has a high degree of hydrophilicity. And is preferably used.
In addition, in order to adjust the concealability in the normal state of the porous layer and the transparency in the liquid absorption state, other general-purpose low-refractive-index pigments can be used in combination with the wet method silicic acid.

The wet process silicic acid in the porous layer depends on properties such as particle size, specific surface area, oil absorption, etc., but in order to satisfy both the concealing property in the normal state and the transparency in the liquid absorbing state, it is applied. preferably the amount is ^{1g / m 2 ~30g / m 2} , more ^{preferably 5g / m 2 ~20g / m 2} . If it is less than 1 g / m ² , it is difficult to obtain sufficient concealability in a normal state, and if it exceeds 30 g / m ² , it is difficult to obtain sufficient transparency during liquid absorption.
The particle size of the silicic acid is not particularly limited, but 0.03 to 10.0 μm is preferably used.
The silicic acid is dispersed in a vehicle containing a binder resin as a binder, applied to a base material, and then the volatile matter is dried to form a porous layer.
Examples of the binder resin include urethane resin, nylon resin, vinyl acetate resin, acrylic ester resin, acrylic ester copolymer resin, acrylic polyol resin, vinyl chloride-vinyl acetate copolymer resin, maleic resin, polyester resin, styrene. Resin, styrene copolymer resin, polyethylene resin, polycarbonate resin, epoxy resin, styrene-butadiene copolymer resin, acrylonitrile-butadiene copolymer resin, methyl methacrylate-butadiene copolymer resin, butadiene resin, chloroprene resin, melamine resin, and the above Each resin emulsion, casein, starch, cellulose derivative, polyvinyl alcohol, urea resin, phenol resin and the like can be mentioned.
The mixing ratio of the silicic acid and these binder resins depends on the type and properties of silicic acid, but is preferably 0.5 to 2 parts by weight of binder resin solids, more preferably 1 part by weight of silicic acid. 0.8 to 1.5 parts by weight. When the binder resin solid content is less than 0.5 parts by weight with respect to 1 part by weight of silicic acid, it is difficult to obtain a practical film strength of the porous layer, and when it exceeds 2 parts by weight, The permeability of water into the porous layer is deteriorated.
Since the porous layer has a small mixing ratio of the binder resin to the colorant as compared with a conventionally known general coating film, it is difficult to obtain sufficient film strength. Therefore, in order to increase the scratch resistance, it is effective to use a nylon resin or a urethane resin among the binder resins.
Examples of the urethane resin include a polyester urethane resin, a polycarbonate urethane resin, and a polyether urethane resin, and two or more of them can be used in combination. In addition, a urethane emulsion resin in which the resin is emulsified and dispersed in water, or a colloid in which the resin is self-emulsified without the need for an emulsifier by an ionic group of the ionic urethane resin (urethane ionomer) itself and dissolved or dispersed in water A dispersion type (ionomer type) urethane resin can also be used.
The urethane-based resin may be either an aqueous urethane-based resin or an oil-based urethane-based resin, but in the present invention, an aqueous urethane-based resin, in particular, a urethane-based emulsion resin or a colloidally dispersed urethane-based resin is suitable. Used for.
The urethane resin can be used alone, but other binder resins can be used in combination depending on the type of support and the performance required for the coating. When a binder resin other than the urethane resin is used in combination, in order to obtain a practical film strength, it is preferable to contain 30% or more of the urethane resin in a solid content weight ratio in the binder resin of the porous layer.
In the binder resin, the crosslinkable resin can be further improved in film strength by adding an arbitrary crosslinking agent and crosslinking.
The binder resin has a large or small affinity with water. By combining these, the penetration time into the porous layer, the degree of penetration, and the slow speed of drying after the penetration can be adjusted. Furthermore, the said adjustment can be controlled by adding a dispersing agent suitably.

In the porous layer, conventionally known titanium dioxide-coated mica, iron oxide-titanium dioxide-coated mica, iron oxide-coated mica, guanine, sericite, basic lead carbonate, acidic lead arsenate, bismuth oxychloride, etc. The color change can be diversified by adding a metallic luster pigment or mixing general dyes and pigments, fluorescent dyes and fluorescent pigments.
In addition, conventionally known reversible thermochromic pigments that reversibly change color according to temperature change can be mixed, and the color can be changed depending on the environmental temperature or the water temperature to be adhered.
Furthermore, the color change can be further diversified by providing a colored layer in the upper layer, the lower layer, and / or the vicinity of the porous layer.

  The porous layer and the colored layer are conventionally known means, for example, printing means such as screen printing, offset printing, gravure printing, coater, tampo printing, transfer, brush coating, spray coating, electrostatic coating, electrodeposition coating. It can be suitably formed on the furniture surface by flow coating, roller coating, dip coating or the like. It can also be formed by laminating a porous layer by the above method on a laminating support provided with an adhesive layer in the lower layer, and affixing the laminated body to a planar support that forms a running surface. The support for lamination applied at that time may be any of a transparent support, a colored support, a support provided with a colored layer, and the like. Furthermore, a non-permeable sheet can be used as the support for lamination, and the non-permeable layer can also be used.

  The porous layer and the colored layer are not limited to solid prints, and may be images such as letters, symbols, and design patterns. In particular, by forming the pattern pattern densely arranged, the color tone of the non-laminated portion of the porous layer can be visually recognized even in a non-absorbing state, so that the design is improved and the liquid adheres due to dirt, writing, etc. Spots and the like caused by

  Closely arranged patterns include dots, circles, ellipses, polygons, stars, hearts, etc. A pattern, canvas-like pattern, denim-like pattern, or other image or design pattern can be formed in an independent state or in a state of partial contact.

The running surface on which the porous layer is formed is configured such that the lightness value Vw in the liquid absorption state of the porous layer and the lightness value Vd in the non-liquid absorption state satisfy 1 <Vd−Vw. Is done. Further, the lightness value Vw in the liquid absorption state is less than 7, and the lightness value Vd in the non-liquid absorption state is 7 or more.
By setting each lightness value as described above, the reflective optical sensor of the traveling body can surely detect the line that appears due to the liquid absorption of the porous layer. It will move according to the program. In the non-absorbing state, the sensor can be used without detecting the density (hue difference) of the running surface, so that normal running can be achieved.

Note that the above-mentioned lightness value is a Munsell color chart that is divided in such a manner that the difference in brightness between the black and white is equal intervals in an achromatic array where 0 is complete black and 10 is complete white. The lightness value represents a lightness value, and the lightness value of a chromatic color represents a lightness value of an achromatic color in which the sensation of brightness of the chromatic color is equal. That is, the smaller the brightness value is, the closer it is to black, and the larger the brightness value is, the closer it is to white, so that it can be used as an indicator of how much visible light is absorbed and how much it is reflected. Therefore, this index indicates what kind of reflection and absorption the color of the lower layer that appears by absorbing the porous layer.
The brightness value shown in the present invention is a value obtained based on JIS Z 8721-1993 using a TC-3600 color difference meter manufactured by Tokyo Denshoku Co., Ltd. It is obtained by measuring the brightness value of the state.

  Furthermore, an edge part can also be provided in the outer periphery of the said running surface. In that case, it is preferable that the brightness value of the border is less than 7. Even when the line is not provided on the running surface or when the line formed by the user is decolored or thinned, the edging part runs on the edging part or detects the edging part and proceeds. Since an action such as reversing the direction can be generated, the traveling body can be used without coming out of the traveling surface.

As a method of attaching a liquid such as water to the porous layer of the running surface, a method of bringing a hand or a finger into contact with the porous layer by water, a writing having a brush tip, a fiber pen body, a roller or the like at the tip portion Or a method of making an applicator or a sponge impregnated with water and bringing it into contact with the porous layer, a method of bringing a container containing water close to or in contact with the porous layer and bringing water out of the container and attaching it, A method of impregnating a porous material with water impregnated with a stamping device to which a foam having open cells or closed cells is fixed, and attaching a water to a stamping device having a rough surface of plastic or rubber to form a porous layer. The method of making it contact is mentioned.
In addition, as a method for bringing a container containing water close to or in contact with the porous layer and drawing out water from the inside of the container and attaching it, the fibrous body that contains water in the container and leads out the water in the container A method of applying water with a brush, a method of containing water in a container and a method of spraying water by providing a spray device, and pressing the water in the container like a syringe to eject water Methods and the like.

Examples of the means for adhering water include a writing or applicator, a sponge, a stamp, a spray device, a syringe, and the like, and water discoloration in combination with a traveling toy set including a line sensor traveling body and a traveling support. A traveling toy set is obtained.
As a preferable water adhesion means, a plastic porous body or a fiber processed body having continuous pores is a pen tip member, a writing instrument or applicator applied as a marking surface, or a stamping instrument, and any written image or printed image can be easily used. It is possible to improve the practicality.
The plastic porous body or fiber processed body having continuous pores in the above may be any one that absorbs and discharges an appropriate amount of water. Conventionally, continuous pore bodies and fibers of various general-purpose polyolefin-based, polyurethane-based and other various plastics can be used. Examples include a focused brush-like one, a fiber-processed resin-processed or heat-welded one, a felt, and a non-woven fabric. The shape and dimensions can be arbitrarily set according to the purpose.
In particular, what is used for the tip (applying portion) of the water adhering means is preferably set so that the line width obtained when applied is thinner than between the pair of reflective optical sensors.

Embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the following drawings. In addition, the brightness value shown below is the value calculated | required based on JISZ8721-1993 using the Tokyo Denshoku Co., Ltd. TC-3600 color difference meter.

Example 1
Using a white synthetic paper (length 40 cm, width 60 cm, thickness 80 μm) as a support, using a black screen printing ink on the surface, solid printing is performed on a 120 mesh screen plate at 70 ° C. for 30 minutes. A colored layer was provided by drying and curing.
Subsequently, 15 parts of wet process silica [trade name: Nipseal E-220, manufactured by Nippon Silica Industry Co., Ltd.] on the colored layer, urethane emulsion [trade name: Hydran AP-10, Dainippon Ink & Chemicals, Inc. ), Solid content 30%] 45 parts, 40 parts water, 0.5 parts silicone defoamer, 3 parts thickener for water-based ink, 1 part ethylene glycol, 3 parts block isocyanate-based crosslinking agent Using a white screen printing ink obtained by mixing and stirring, solid printing was performed on a 100 mesh screen plate leaving 5 cm of the outer periphery of the support, followed by drying and curing at 60 ° C. for 30 minutes to form a porous layer. Further, an edge portion 32 (brightness value 4.5) is formed on the outer periphery of the porous layer using amber ink, and the outer side of the edge portion 32 (on the support on which the porous layer is not formed, that is, The running support 3 having the water-discoloring running surface 31 was obtained by printing various shapes on the outer peripheral portion 33).
The running support 3 is white in a dry state, but when a line is drawn with a fiber pen soaked with water, the porous layer at that portion becomes transparent and a black writing image is visually recognized.
The written image was retained when the porous layer was in a liquid-absorbing state, and when dried, it returned to its original white color and became invisible, and this phenomenon could be repeated many times.
Further, the lightness value Vw in the liquid absorption state of the porous layer was 2.5, and the lightness value Vd in the non-liquid absorption state was 8.3, which satisfies 1 <Vd−Vw.
Further, since the traveling support 3 can form an image by writing or coating on a wide traveling surface, the traveling support 3 itself has an interesting property as a toy.

Together with the obtained traveling support 3, a water pen 4 provided with a fiber processing pen body at the writing tip and a line sensor traveling body 2 were combined to form a traveling toy set 1 (FIG. 1).
The line sensor type traveling body 2 includes a pair of left and right reflective optical sensors 22 and 23, a control circuit 24 having various traveling programs connected to the optical sensor, and a pair of left and right connected to the control circuit 24. The vehicle body 21 includes motors 25 and 26, rear wheels 28 and 29 connected to the respective motors via a speed reduction mechanism 27, a battery 212 for driving the motor and the reflective optical sensor, and a front driven wheel 211 ( Figure 2). A light emitting LED and a speaker are also mounted (not shown).

The reflection-type optical sensors 22 and 23 are directed downward from the vehicle body 21 (traveling surface 31 side) so that the traveling surface 31 can be recognized, and are positioned in front of the vehicle body and symmetrical with respect to the central axis in the front-rear direction. A pair is provided. The reflection type optical sensors 22 and 23 are formed of light emitters 221 and 231 and light receivers 222 and 232, and irradiate red light from the light emitters 221 and 231 toward the traveling surface 31, but the black line. When the (hue changing portion) 34 does not exist (that is, in the case of a white porous layer), the red light is reflected and the light reaches the light receivers 222 and 232. Further, when the black line 34 exists, the red light is absorbed, so that the light does not reach the light receivers 222 and 232.
By detecting whether or not the red light can reach the light receivers 222 and 232, a signal is input to the control circuit 24 connected to the reflection type optical sensors 22 and 23, and a signal corresponding to the program is output and left and right independent. Then, the motors 25 and 26 are driven.

For example, in the state of FIG. 4A, when the traveling body 2 that has traveled straight on a straight line reaches the right curve line 34, the left reflection type optical sensor 22 recognizes the reflected light, so that the left motor 25 is used as it is. Although the driving is continued, the light emitted from the right light emitter 231 hits the line 34 and is absorbed, so that the reflected light does not enter the right light receiver 232. In this case, the right motor 26 is stopped by the control circuit 24 and only one wheel 28 is driven until the reflected light enters the right light receiver 232, so that the vehicle body turns around the right wheel 29 as the rotation axis and again on the line 34. Run.
On the contrary, in the state of FIG. 4B, when the traveling body 2 that has traveled straight on the straight line reaches the left curve line 34, the right reflection type optical sensor 23 recognizes the reflected light. Therefore, the right motor 26 continues to be driven as it is, but the light emitted from the left light emitter 221 hits the line 34 and is absorbed, and the reflected light does not enter the left light receiver 222. Therefore, the left motor 25 is stopped by the control circuit 24, Since only one wheel 29 is driven until the reflected light is incident on the left light receiver 222, the vehicle body turns around the left wheel 28 as the rotation axis and travels on the line 34 again.

  In this configuration, the light irradiated from the light emitters 221 and 231 to the traveling surface 31 is reflected and recognized by the light receivers 222 and 232, or the hue change portion (that is, the line 34) on the traveling surface 31 absorbs the light. Then, in order to cause a tracing operation depending on whether the light receivers 222 and 232 cannot be recognized, tracing is performed with respect to the line 34 having a width narrower than the distance between the left and right reflective optical sensors. Therefore, it is preferable to use the water pen 4 that can draw a handwriting having a width narrower than the distance between the left and right reflective optical sensors.

  Further, the program of the control circuit 24 is set so that an output signal from the control circuit 24 to each motor is sent to the motor opposite to that before the switch switching by switching the switch. As a result, the function of reversing the direction of travel, the function of causing a right or left rotation, or a combination of them to generate a rotational movement is configured, so by changing the switch from the trace mode, continuous or independent hue change by writing When a portion (line 34 or image) or border portion 32 is detected, a specific action such as reversal of the traveling direction or rotational movement can be caused.

  In addition, since the traveling body 2 is provided with a sound generating device and a light emitting body such as an LED, it can emit sound or music while traveling or can blink a light. It has become rich.

Example 2
As a support, white T / C broad (65% tetron, 35% cotton) with a basis weight of 140 g / m ² on the entire surface of a fabric (length 90 cm, width 90 cm), 5 parts blue pigment, 50 parts acrylate emulsion, aqueous Using a blue screen printing ink obtained by uniformly mixing and stirring 3 parts of an ink thickener, 0.5 parts of a leveling agent, and 5 parts of an epoxy crosslinking agent, solid printing is performed on a 180 mesh screen plate at 100 ° C. And dried and cured for 3 minutes to provide a colored layer.
Next, 15 parts of wet method fine powder silica [trade name: Nipseal E-200, manufactured by Nippon Silica Industry Co., Ltd.] on the colored layer, urethane emulsion [trade name: Hydran HW-930, Dainippon Ink & Chemicals, Inc. ), 50% solids] 30 parts, 50 parts water, 0.5 parts silicone antifoam, 3 parts thickener for water-based ink, 1 part ethylene glycol, 3 parts blocked isocyanate crosslinking agent Using a white screen printing ink obtained by stirring, solid printing was performed with a 100 mesh screen plate leaving 8 cm of the outer periphery of the support, followed by drying and curing at 130 ° C. for 5 minutes to form a porous layer. Further, an edge portion 32 (brightness value 4.5) is formed on the outer periphery of the porous layer using amber-colored ink, and the outside of the edge portion 32 (on the support on which the porous layer is not formed, that is, By printing various figurines on the outer peripheral portion 33), a running support 3 having a water-coloring running surface 31 was obtained.
The traveling support 3 is white in a dry state, but when a line is drawn with a fiber pen soaked with water, the porous layer at that portion becomes transparent and a blue written image is visually recognized.
The written image was retained when the porous layer was in a liquid-absorbing state, and when dried, it returned to its original white color and became invisible, and this phenomenon could be repeated many times.
Further, the lightness value Vw in the liquid absorption state of the porous layer was 5.0, the lightness value Vd in the non-liquid absorption state was 8.5, and 1 <Vd−Vw was satisfied.
Furthermore, since the said travel support body can form an image by writing or coating on a wide travel surface, the travel support body itself has an interesting property as a toy.

A traveling toy in which the line sensor type traveling body 1 of Example 1, the water pen 4 provided with a fiber processing pen body at the writing tip, a stamp tool, and a stamp base are combined with the traveling support 3 obtained. It was set 1.
When the obtained traveling toy set 1 detects a continuous or independent hue change part (line 34 or an image of a stamping tool) or an edge part 32 by writing, as in Example 1, the line trace, It can be rotated and stopped, making it an interesting toy set.

It is an external appearance perspective view which shows one Example of the traveling toy set of this invention. FIG. 3 is a plan view of a vehicle body when viewed from above a traveling body.
