TRANSFORMING TOY [Technical Field]
The present invention relates to a transforming toy, and more particularly, to a transforming toy that is moved to an item disposed at an arbitrary position in such a manner as to allow a portion of the body part thereof to be detached therefrom through the contact with the item, so that the transforming toy transforms into a second form from a first form.
[Background Art]
Each document, reference, patent application or patent cited in this text is expressly incorporated herein in their entirety by reference, which means that it should be read and considered by the reader as part of this text. That the document, reference, patent application or patent cited in this text is not repeated in this text is merely for reasons of conciseness.
The following discussion of the background to the invention is intended to facilitate an understanding of the present invention only. It should be appreciated that the discussion is not an acknowledgement or admission that any of the material referred to was published, known or part of the common general knowledge of the person skilled in the art in any jurisdiction as at the priority date of the invention.
A transforming toy has a plurality of body parts having a form of a robot or car, and through the assembly of the body parts, it can transform into the robot or car toy. The single toy transforms into various forms, and accordingly, children can enjoy a variety of plays through the transforming forms, while they are directly assembling the toy.
In case of generally existing card plays for children, on the other hand, drawings or characters for the plays are printed on the top or underside surfaces of rectangular cards and the cards are turned over to check the information printed thereon in accordance with given game rules.
Such card plays for children are carried out by placing the cards on a floor by users and turning them over to check the information printed on the cards, so that the playing way is very simple to easily make the users, especially children feel bored and to provide just a function of collecting the drawings or characters printed on the cards.
According to a conventional practice, a transforming toy car is disclosed in Korean Patent No.10-1327305 (entitled “transforming toy car and playing device using the same), wherein if a given card is attached to the underside of a toy car, the toy car is turned over to allow the underside of the attached card thereto to be exposed to the outside.
However, the transforming toy car according to the conventional practice is configured to lift or turn over the front portion thereof so as to turn over the card attached thereto .
In this case, the configuration required to turn over the card still remains on the toy car, and accordingly, the image of the character as a second form produced through the transformation still exists unnecessarily, thereby failing to provide the original image of the character.
Further, the transforming toy car according to the conventional practice is configured to turn over the card attached thereto, and accordingly, there is a limit in the degree of freedom in designing the toy car.

According to the first embodiment of the present invention, further, the first form of the transforming toy 100 is a form of a car, and the second form thereof is a form of a character 117b such as a robot, human, animal and so on, an object having an arbitrary form, or the like.
According to the embodiment of the present invention, the first form of the transforming toy 100 is the form of a car, for the brevity of the description, but of course, it may have all forms of movable objects having wheels.
If the transforming toy 100 has the first form, the upper body 111 is configured to take the outer shape of the car, and also, the upper body 111 has the character part 115 disposed at the inside thereof, so that if the transforming toy 100 transforms into the second form, the character part 115 is exposed to the outside.
The separable body 112 is separably disposed on one side of the body part 110 in such a manner as to be fixed to one side of the body part 110 by means of the locking part 120 disposed at the inside thereof, and if the locking part 120 is released from the locked state by means of the item 200, the separable body 112 is separatedly detached from the plurality of bodies 111, 113 and 114 to allow the body part 110 to be developed to transform into the second form from the first form.
If the separable body 112 is separated from the body part 110, further, it is moved or thrown to an arbitrary direction, so that it is completely isolated from the body part 110.
If the locking part 120 is released from the locked state by means of the item 200, the separable body 112 is separated from the upper body 111 and the side bodies 113 of the body part 110 and is thus moved or thrown to the front, left, right or rear direction from the moving direction of the transforming toy 100 by means of a pressurizing part 140 as will be discussed later.
Further, the separable body 112 includes a first separable body 112a, second separable bodies 112b, front wheels 112c, and springs 112d, and if the item 200 is attached to the underside of the separable body 112, the item 200 attached to the underside of the separable body 112 is exposed to the outside.
In more detail, the information displayed or printed on the underside of the item 200 is exposed to the outside and is thus checked by a user.
The first separable body 112a has an accommodation space formed at the inside thereof in such a manner as to allow the locking part 120 and the pressurizing part 140 to be disposed therein .
Further, the first separable body 112a has first separable body rotary shafts 1123' protruding by a given length from both sides thereof, so that it can be rotated through the first separable body rotary shafts 112a'.
The second separable bodies 112b are disposed on both sides of the first separable body 112a and include coupling holes 112b' adapted to allow the first separable body rotary shafts 112a' of the first separable body 112a to be rotatably fitted thereto and fastening members 112b coupled to the side bodies 113 of the body part 110.
Further, the second separable bodies 112b have the front wheels 112c disposed on one side thereof and the springs 112d adapted to provide elastic forces to allow the first separable body 112a to be rotated to a given direction if the separable body 112 is separated from the body part 110.
The front wheels 112c are disposed on the respective second separable bodies 112b so that the separable body 112 can be easily moved after the separation from the body part 110 .
According to the first embodiment of the present invention, further, the front wheels 112c are disposed on the separable body 112, but they may be disposed on arbitrary positions of the upper body 111, the side bodies 113 and the character part 115, without being limited thereto.
The side bodies 113 are horizontally rotatably coupled in left and right directions to the rear body 114 through the side body hinges 113a disposed on one side thereof and have locking protrusions 113b formed on the other side thereof in such a manner as to be fixedly fastened to the ends of the upper body 111 to prevent the upward rotation thereof and first fastening grooves 113c and second fastening grooves 113d adapted to fasten the side bodies 113 to the separable body 112.
The first fastening grooves 113c are coupled to the locking part 120 to allow the separable body 112 and the side bodies 113 to be contactedly fixed to each other and also to prevent the side bodies 112 from being rotated in left, right and horizontal directions.
The second fastening grooves 113d are coupled to the fastening members 112b of the separable body 112 to allow the separable body 112 to more rigidly come into close contact with the side bodies 113.
Through the coupling of the first fastening grooves 113c to the locking part 120 and the coupling of the second fastening grooves 113d to the fastening members 112b, in more detail, the separable body 112 is not movable at all on one side of the side bodies 113, so that the locked state of the locking part 120 can be rigidly maintained.
The rear body 114 serves to support the developing operations caused by the rotation of the upper body 111 and the side bodies 113 and includes first rear body hinges 114a, second rear body hinges 114b, and rear wheels 114e.
The first rear body hinges 114a are coupled to the upper body 111 through a first shaft 114c and include a spring 114ο' adapted to provide an elastic force to allow the upper body 111 to be vertically rotated upwardly.
The second rear body hinges 114b are coupled to the side bodies 113 through second shafts 114d and include springs 114d' adapted to provide elastic forces to allow the side bodies 113 to be horizontally rotated in a left or right direction .
The character part 115 is disposed inside the upper body
111 and has a variety of shapes such as animals, robots, humans, animation characters and so on.
The locking part 120 is disposed in the separable body
112 to maintain the locked state where the separable body 112 the upper body 111 and the side bodies 113 are coupled to each other, so that the transforming toy 100 can be maintained to the first form, and the locking part 120 includes a locking part body 121, a pair of latches 122, and latch coupling members 123.
The locking part body 121 is movably disposed inside the separable body 112 in upward/downward directions.
The latches 122 have one side rotatably connected to the locking part body 121 and the other side having locking protrusions coupled to the first fastening grooves 113c of the side bodies 113, so that according to the upward/downward movements of the locking part body 121, the locking protrusions of the latches 122 are maintained in the state of being fastened to the first fastening grooves 113c or they are separated therefrom and thus released from the locked states .
The latch coupling members 123 protrude by a given length from both sides of the locking part body 121 to allow the latches 122 to be rotatably coupled to both sides of the locking part body 121.
The magnet part 130 is disposed on the underside of the locking part 120 in such a manner as to be attached to the item 200 through the attractive force caused by the magnetic field formed together with a magnetic material 210 disposed inside the item 200, so that the locking part 120 is moved downwardly and is thus released from the locked state, and the magnet part 130 includes a magnet 131 and a spring 132.
In more detail, the spring 132 is adapted to provide an elastic force to allow the locking part 120 to be supportedly maintained at a given position, so that the locking part 120 can be maintained at the locked state.
Further, the magnet 131 moves the locking part 120 downwardly through the attractive force generated by the magnetic field with the item 200, so that the latches 122 of the locking part 120 are rotated to permit the locking part 120 to be released from the locked state.
If the attractive force generated by the magnetic field disappears, after that, the locking part 120 is moved upwardly through the elastic force of the spring 132 and is thus returned to its original position, so that the locking part 120 is returned to its original state, that is, the locked state.
The pressurizing part 140 is disposed on the separable body 112, and if the locking part 120 is released from the locked state, the pressurizing part 140 serves to provide a pressurizing force for pressurizing the separable body 112 separated from the body part 110 to allow the separable body 112 to be moved in an arbitrary direction, to be rotating separated in an arbitrary direction, or to be thrown in an arbitrary direction. The pressurizing part 140 includes a pressurizing latch 141 and a spring 142.
The pressurizing latch 141 protrudes toward the upper body 111 or the character part 115 and thus comes into contact with the upper body 111 or the character part 115, so that if the locking part 120 is released from the locked state, the pressurizing latch 141 pushes the upper body 111 or the character part 115 to allow the separable body 112 to be moved to a given direction.
The spring 142 is adapted to provide an elastic force to the pressurizing latch 141 to allow the separable body 112 to be moved to the given direction if the locking part 120 is released from the locked state.
According to the first embodiment of the present invention, the pressurizing part 140 pushes the separable body 112 in the driving direction of the transforming toy 100 to allow the separable body 112 to be moved to the given direction, but without being limited thereto, if the pressurizing part 140 is eccentrically disposed at the left or right side or disposed to pressurize the ground thereagainst, the separable body 112 separated by the pressurizing force of the pressurizing part 140 is moved and rotated in the left or right direction with respect to the driving direction, or the separable body 112 separated by the pressurization against the ground is popped up or thrown behind the transforming toy 100.
According to the first embodiment of the present invention, the pressurizing part 140 is disposed in the separable body 112, but of course, it may be disposed on the body part 110 to which the separable body 112 is coupled, without being limited thereto.
The item 200 is a plate-shaped member having any one selected from circular, oval, and polygonal outer shapes, and it is made of paper, a plastic synthetic resin, and so on. Desirably, the item 200 is made of the plastic synthetic resin, and also, the item 200 has at least one selected from the magnetic material 210 and a magnet disposed in the interior thereof to form the magnetic field together with the magnet part 130.
Further, the item 200 has a given character, numbers, text, figure, and pattern printed on the external surfaces thereof or has a printed matter attached to the external surfaces thereof. Further, the surface of the item 200 may be formed by means of depressed engraving or embossed carving.
Next, an explanation on the operation process of the transforming toy 100 according to the first embodiment of the present invention will be given.
| First, | the upper | body 111, the | separable | body 112, | the | ||
| side bodies | 113, | and | the rear body | 114 are | coupled | to | one |
| another to | allow | the | transforming toy 100 to | become | in | the |
locked state where the first form is maintained.
After that, the item 200 is located at an arbitrary position, and the transformable toy 100 having the first form is driven toward the item 200.
If the transforming toy 100 passes through the item 200, the attractive force generated by the magnetic field formed between the item 200 and the magnet part 130 of the transforming toy 100 allows the item 200 to be attached to the magnet part 130, so that the locking part 130 at which the magnet part 130 is located is moved and thus released from the locked state.
If the locking part 130 is released from the locked state, the separable body 112 in which the locking part 130 is disposed is separated from the side bodies 113, and the side bodies 113 are horizontally rotated in the left/right directions around the side body hinges 113a, so that the upper body 111 maintained at the given position through the side bodies 113 is also rotated upwardly, thereby allowing the transforming toy 100 to transform into the second form from the first form.
If the locking part 130 is released from the locked state, further, the pressurizing part 140 pressurizes the upper body 111 or the character part 115 through the pressurizing latch 141 to allow the separable body 112 to be separatedly moved to the driving direction of the transforming toy 100.
On the other hand, if the separable body 112 is separated from the transforming toy 100, the first separable body 112a is rotated vertically with respect to the second separable bodies 112b by means of the elastic forces of the springs 112d to allow the item 200 attached to the underside of the separable body 112 to be exposed to the outside.
Accordingly, the transforming toy according to the first embodiment of the present invention is configured to transform into the second form from the first form by the separation of the separable body from the body part through the contact with the item, so that the configuration required for the transformation and the configuration required after the transformation are distinguished from each other to more obviously provide the image of the character part after the transformation, and also, the excitement of the play can be more improved through the separation of the separable body portion from the body part and the exposure of the item to the outside.
