Description

Toy (A)

Technical Field

The present invention relates to a toy capable of changing its form.

Background

Patent document 1 described below discloses a motion toy including: a housing configured to be capable of assuming a retracted state and an expanded state; a retraction unit for bringing the housing into a retracted state by a biasing force; a deployment unit that brings the housing into a deployed state against an urging force; and a travel unit having a wheel rotatable by a spring power. The action toy can travel in an expanded state and change to a retracted state during travel using a travel unit.

However, since the above-described action toy focuses on the use of the travel unit to travel in the extended state and to change to the retracted state during travel, even if the housing is modeled on, for example, a living creature, the extended state and the retracted state are easily formed in a form that is very different from the living creature, and it is difficult to provide the player with fun due to the change in form.

Fig. 3 shows a 3 rd form F3 (corresponding to the defending form of the armyworm) of the toy in a state where the 1 st to 9 th members 11 to 19 are C-shaped and contracted. In the 3 rd form F3, the 1 st member 11 and the 9 th member 19 are configured to be not connectable (contactable). Fig. 4 (a) shows a 4 th form F4 (corresponding to the form when the toy is supplied by the article supplying device) in which the auxiliary component 24 is attached to the toy of the 3 rd form F3.

First, the structures of the 1 st to 9 th members 11 to 19, the support portion 20, and the 1 st to 3 rd decorative portions 21 to 23 will be described with reference to fig. 5 to 8.

< Structure of the 1 st Member 11, the supporting part 20, and the 1 st decorative part 21 >

Fig. 5 (a) to 5 (D) show the 1 st member 11, fig. 5 (E) shows the support portion 20, and fig. 5 (F) shows the 1 st decorative portion 21.

The 1 st member 11 is a member corresponding to the 1 st section of the head and chest of the foot worm, and has an outer side portion 11a and an inner side portion 11b located inside the outer side portion 11a, and the outer side portion 11a has an outer surface formed of a convex curved surface. In the drawings, the outer part and the inner part are shown as the 1 st member 11 by one component, but the 1 st member 11 may be configured by combining the outer part component and the inner part component, or may be configured by combining the two components and other components.

The 1 st member 11 has a flat shape having a larger left-right dimension than front-rear dimension and having an arcuate shape in front and rear views. Further, a1 st recess 11c is provided on the rear surface of the inner portion 11b based on the height difference with the outer portion 11a, and a 2 nd recess 11d is provided continuously with the 1 st recess 11c on the lower surface of the inner portion 11b based on the height difference with the outer portion 11 a.

Incidentally, the 1 st recess 11c is a portion into which the front end portion of the rear 2 nd member 12 enters in the 1 st form F1 and which allows displacement of the front end portion of the 2 nd member 12 in the 2 nd forms F2 and F3, and the 2 nd recess 11d is a portion for avoiding interference of the rear 2 nd member 12 with the front 1 st member 11 in the 2 nd forms F2 and F3.

Further, a1 st coupling portion 11e extending rearward from the rear surface is provided at the center of the rear surface of the inner portion 11b, a bearing portion 11e1 is provided in the right-left direction at the rear portion of the 1 st coupling portion 11e, and an internal gear-shaped uneven portion (reference numeral omitted) is provided on the inner surface of the bearing portion 11e 1.

Incidentally, the bearing portion 11e1 of the 1 st coupling portion 11e is a portion for rotatably supporting the shaft portion 12g1 of the 2 nd coupling portion 12g of the 2 nd member 12 on the rear side, and the internal gear-shaped uneven portion of the bearing portion 11e1 is a portion for meshing with the external gear-shaped uneven portion (reference numeral omitted) of the shaft portion 12g1 of the 2 nd member 12 on the rear side.

The rear portion of the bearing 11e1 is opened so that the shaft portion 12g1 of the 2 nd coupling portion 12g of the rear-side 2 nd member 12 can be attached and detached by elastic deformation. Further, protruding portions 11a1 which protrude rearward and are substantially triangular in left and right views are provided on both left and right sides of the rear portion of the outer portion 11 a.

That is, the shaft portion 12g1 of the 2 nd coupling portion 12g of the 2 nd member 12 on the rear side can be fitted into and coupled to the bearing portion 11e1 of the 1 st coupling portion 11e of the 1 st member 11 from behind. In the coupled state, the shaft portion 12g1 can be rotated in stages with respect to the bearing portion 11e1, in other words, the rear 2 nd member 12 can be rotated in stages with respect to the front 1 st member 11. That is, the 1 st coupling portion 11e of the 1 st member 11 and the 2 nd coupling portion 12g of the 2 nd member 12 on the rear side thereof constitute a coupling means (reference numeral omitted) capable of changing the relative angle of the two members and maintaining the changed relative angle.

The support portion 20 is a component corresponding to a leg portion having a foot worm, and has a substantially L-shaped overall shape and a spherical base portion 20 a. The base portion 20a of the support portion 20 is rotatably, preferably detachably, fitted into a segment-shaped recess 11f (see fig. 5 a to 5D and 1 to 3) larger than a hemisphere provided on each of the left and right sides of the lower surface of the inner portion 11b of the member 1.

The 1 st decorative portion 21 corresponds to a component having a tentacle of a foot worm, is formed in a shape in which the root portions of two long and short linear portions that are bent are integrated, and has a cylindrical base portion 21 a. The base portion 21a of the 1 st decorative portion 21 is detachably fitted into two left and right cylindrical recessed portions 11g (see fig. 1 to 3) provided at the front end of the 1 st member 11.

< structures of the 2 nd to 7 th members 12 to 17 >

Fig. 6 (a) to 6 (D) show the 2 nd member 12, and the 3 rd to 7 th members 13 to 17 have similar structures to the 2 nd member 12, and therefore, they are also used for the description of the structures of the 3 rd to 7 th members 13 to 17. As can be seen from fig. 1 to 3, the difference between the 2 nd member 12 and the 3 rd to 7 th members 13 to 17 is the front-rear direction dimension, the left-right direction dimension, and the up-down direction dimension, the arcuate shape in the front view and the rear view, and the shape of the outer surface formed by the convex curved surface.

The 2 nd to 7 th members 12 to 17 are members corresponding to the 2 nd to 7 th thoracic sections of the breasts with the foot bugs, and have outer portions 12a to 17a and inner portions 12b to 17b located inside the outer portions 12a to 17a, and the outer portions 12a to 17a have outer surfaces formed of convex curved surfaces. In the drawings, the outer part and the inner part are shown as the 2 nd to 7 th members 12 to 17 formed by one member, but the 2 nd to 7 th members 12 to 17 may be formed by combining the outer part member and the inner part member, or may be formed by combining the two members and other members.

The 2 nd to 7 th members 12 to 17 have a flat outer shape having a larger dimension in the left-right direction than in the front-rear direction and having an arcuate shape in front and rear views. Further, the rear surface of each of the inner portions 12b to 17b is provided with 1 st concave portions 12c to 17c based on a height difference with the outer portions 12a to 17a, and the front surface and the lower surface of each of the inner portions 12b to 17b are provided with 2 nd concave portions 12d to 17d and 2 nd concave portions 12e to 17e based on a height difference with the outer portions 12a to 17a continuously with the 1 st concave portions 12c to 17 c.

Incidentally, the 1 st recessed portions 12c to 17c are portions into which the front end portions of the rear members (13 to 18) of the two members adjacent in the front-rear direction enter in the 1 st form F1 and allow displacement of the rear members (13 to 18) in the 2 nd form F2 and the 3 rd form F3, and the 2 nd recessed portions 12d to 17d and the 2 nd recessed portions 12e to 17e are portions for avoiding interference of the rear members (13 to 18) of the two members adjacent in the front-rear direction with respect to the front members (12 to 17) in the 2 nd form F2 and the 3 rd form F3.

Further, the 1 st coupling portions 12f to 17f extending rearward from the rear surfaces are provided at the centers of the rear surfaces of the inner portions 12b to 17b, the bearing portions 12f1 to 17f1 are provided in the right and left directions at the rear portions of the 1 st coupling portions 12f to 17f, and the inner surfaces of the bearing portions 12f1 to 17f1 are provided with internal gear-shaped concave-convex portions (reference numerals are omitted). Further, 2 nd coupling portions 12g to 17g extending forward from the front surfaces are provided at the centers of the front surfaces of the inner portions 12b to 17b, shaft portions 12g1 to 17g1 are provided in the right-left direction at the front portions of the 2 nd coupling portions 12g to 17g, and external gear-shaped concave-convex portions (reference numerals are omitted) are provided on the outer surfaces of the shaft portions 12g1 to 17g 1.

Incidentally, the bearing portions 12f1 to 17f1 of the 1 st connecting portions 12f to 17f are portions for rotatably supporting the shaft portions of the 2 nd connecting portions of the rear members (13 to 18) of the two members adjacent in the front-rear direction, and the internal gear-shaped uneven portions of the bearing portions 12f1 to 17f1 are portions for meshing with the external gear-shaped uneven portions of the shaft portions of the rear members (13 to 18) of the two members adjacent in the front-rear direction.

The rear parts of the bearings 12f1 to 17f1 are opened so that the shaft parts of the 2 nd connecting parts of the rear members (13 to 18) of the two members adjacent in the front-rear direction can be attached and detached by elastic deformation. Furthermore, rear portions of the outer portions 12a to 17a are provided on both left and right sides thereof with protruding portions 12a1 to 17a1 which protrude rearward and are substantially triangular in left and right views.

That is, the shaft portions 13g1 to 17g1 and 18f1 of the 2 nd connecting portions 13g to 17g and 18f of the 3 rd to 8 th members 13 to 18 on the rear sides can be fitted into and connected to the bearing portions 12f1 to 17f1 of the 1 st connecting portions 12f to 17f of the 2 nd to 7 th members 12 to 17 from the rear side. In the coupled state, the shaft portions 13g1 to 17g1 and 18f1 can be rotated in stages relative to the bearing portions 12f1 to 17f1, that is, the rear members (13 to 18) of the two members adjacent in the front-rear direction can be rotated in stages relative to the front members (12 to 17). That is, the 1 st connecting parts (12f to 17f) of the front side members (12 to 17) and the 2 nd connecting parts (13g to 17g, 18f) of the rear side members (13 to 18) of the two members adjacent in the front-rear direction constitute a connecting means (reference numeral omitted) capable of changing the relative angle of the two members and maintaining the changed relative angle.

Similarly to the 1 st member 11, the 2 nd to 7 th members 12 to 17 are provided on both left and right sides of the lower surface thereof with recesses 12h to 17h in the form of segments larger than hemispheres, and the base portion 20a of the support portion 20 shown in fig. 5 (B) is rotatably, preferably detachably fitted in the recesses 12h to 17 h.

< Structure of Member 8 18 >

Fig. 7 (a) to 7 (D) show the 8 th member 18.

The 8 th member 18 is a member corresponding to the abdomen (section 1 to section 5) having the foot worm, and has an outer side 18a and an inner side 18b located inside the outer side 18a, and the outer side 18a has an outer surface formed by a convex curved surface. In the drawings, the 8 th member 18 is shown as being formed by one member, but the 8 th member 18 may be formed by combining an outer member and an inner member, or by combining the two members and other members.

The 8 th member 18 has a flat shape having a larger left-right dimension than front-rear dimension and having an arcuate shape in front and rear views. Further, a1 st recess 18c is provided on the rear surface of the inner portion 18b based on the height difference with the outer portion 18a, and a 2 nd recess 18d is provided on the front surface of the inner portion 18b based on the height difference with the outer portion 18 a.

Incidentally, the 1 st recess 18c is a portion into which the front end portion of the 9 th member 19 on the rear side enters in the 1 st form F1 and allows displacement of the front end portion of the 9 th member 19 in the 2 nd form F2 and the 3 rd form F3, and the 2 nd recess 18d is a portion for avoiding interference of the 8 th member 18 on the rear side with the 7 th member 17 on the front side in the 2 nd form F2 and the 3 rd form F3.

Further, a1 st coupling portion 18e extending rearward from the rear surface is provided at the center of the rear surface of the inner portion 18b, a bearing portion 18e1 is provided in the right-left direction at the rear portion of the 1 st coupling portion 18e, and an internal gear-shaped uneven portion (reference numeral omitted) is provided on the inner surface of the bearing portion 18e 1. A 2 nd coupling portion 18f extending forward from the front surface is provided at the center of the front surface of the inner portion 18b, a shaft portion 18f1 is provided in the right-left direction at the front portion of the 2 nd coupling portion 18f, and an external gear-shaped uneven portion (reference numeral omitted) is provided on the outer surface of the shaft portion 18f 1.

Incidentally, the bearing portion 18e1 of the 1 st coupling portion 18e is a portion for rotatably supporting the shaft portion 19c1 of the 2 nd coupling portion 119c of the 9 th member 19 on the rear side, and the internal gear-shaped uneven portion of the bearing portion 18e1 is a portion for meshing with the external gear-shaped uneven portion (reference numeral omitted) of the shaft portion 19c1 of the 9 th member 19 on the rear side.

The rear portion of the bearing 18e1 is opened so that the shaft portion 19c1 of the 2 nd coupling portion 19c of the rear 9 th member 19 can be attached and detached by elastic deformation.

That is, the shaft portion 19c1 of the 2 nd coupling portion 19c of the 9 th member 19 on the rear side can be fitted into and coupled to the bearing portion 18e1 of the 1 st coupling portion 18e of the 8 th member 18 from behind. In the coupled state, shaft 19c1 can be rotated in stages relative to bearing 18e1, in other words, rear 9 th member 19 can be rotated in stages relative to front 8 th member 18. That is, the 1 st coupling portion 18e of the 8 th member 18 and the 2 nd coupling portion 19c of the 9 th member 19 on the rear side thereof constitute a coupling means (reference numeral omitted) capable of changing the relative angle of the two members and maintaining the changed relative angle.

< structures of the 9 th component 19, the 2 nd decorative parts 22 and the 3 rd decorative parts 23 >

Fig. 8 (a) to 8 (D) show the 9 th member 19, and fig. 8 (E) shows the 2 nd decorative portion 22 and the 3 rd decorative portion 23 in a state of being spread out to the left and right sides.

The 9 th member 19 corresponds to a tail of a foot worm, and has an outer side 19a and an inner side 19b located inside the outer side 19a, and the outer side 19a has an outer surface formed of a convex curved surface. In the drawings, the 9 th member 19 is shown as being formed of one member, but the 1 st member 19 may be formed of a combination of the outer member and the inner member, or may be formed of a combination of the two members and other members.

The 9 th member 19 has a flat shape having a larger left-right direction dimension than a front-rear direction dimension and having an arcuate shape in front and rear views, and the rear portion is made flatter than the front portion. Incidentally, the 9 th member 19 does not have the 1 st recessed portion and the 2 nd recessed portion as in the 1 st to 8 th members 11 to 18.

Further, a 2 nd coupling portion 19c extending forward from the front surface is provided at the center of the front surface of the inner portion 19b, a shaft portion 19c1 is provided in the right-left direction at the front portion of the 2 nd coupling portion 19c, and an external gear-like uneven portion (reference numeral omitted) is provided on the outer surface of the shaft portion 19c 1. The configuration of the shaft portion 19c1 of the 2 nd coupling portion 19c and the externally-toothed concave-convex portion (reference numeral omitted), the coupling between the 2 nd coupling portion 19c and the 1 st coupling portion 18e of the 8 th member 18, and the state thereof are as described above.

The 2 nd decorative portions 22 and the 3 rd decorative portions 23 are parts corresponding to swimming limbs having caterpillars, and are provided on the left and right sides as a pair. The pair of 2 nd decorative portions 22 and the pair of 3 rd decorative portions 23 are respectively formed in an elliptical shape or a substantially triangular shape, and have cylindrical base portions 22a and 23a on the front upper surface. The base portions 22a of the pair of 2 nd decorative portions 22 and the base portions 23a of the pair of 3 rd decorative portions 23 are rotatably, preferably detachably fitted into a pair of columnar recesses 19d and 19E provided on both left and right sides of the lower surface of the inner portion 19b of the 9 th member 19, respectively (see fig. 8a to 8E and fig. 1 to 3).

The pair of second decorative portions 22 and the pair of third decorative portions 23 attached to the 9 th member 19 are formed so as to overlap each other in the vertical direction (see fig. 8a to 8D), but the respective second decorative portions 22 and the respective third decorative portions 23 can rotate independently (see fig. 8E).

Incidentally, the 1 st form F1 corresponds to a state of walking with the caterpillars, and therefore the 2 nd decorative portions 22 and the 3 rd decorative portions 23 do not protrude from the 9 th member 19 when viewed from above (see fig. 8D and 1). On the other hand, the 2 nd form F2 corresponds to a swimming form with podocytes, and therefore, the 2 nd decorative parts 22 and the 3 rd decorative parts 23 protrude to the left and right from the 9 th part 19 when viewed from above (see fig. 8 (E) and 2).

Next, the variable angle between two members adjacent in the front-rear direction will be described with reference to fig. 9. In fig. 9, the 1 st member 11 and the 2 nd member 12 are shown, but as described above, the coupling means (reference numeral omitted) provided in the two members adjacent in the front-rear direction is the same.

In a state where two members adjacent in the front-rear direction are connected, a shaft portion (12g1) of a 2 nd connecting portion (12g) of a rear member (12) is fitted into a bearing portion (11e1) of a1 st connecting portion (11e) of a1 st connecting portion (11) of a front member (11), and an external gear-shaped uneven portion (no reference numeral) of an outer surface of the shaft portion (12g1) is meshed with an internal gear-shaped uneven portion (no reference numeral) of the bearing portion (11e 1). The front end of the rear member (12) is displaceably inserted into the 1 st recess (11c) of the front member (11).

That is, if the number of convex portions of the external gear-shaped concave-convex portion (no reference numeral) of the shaft portion (12g1) and the number of concave portions of the internal gear-shaped concave-convex portion (no reference numeral) of the bearing portion (11e1) are, for example, 24, the rear-side 2 nd member (12) can be rotated stepwise in units of 15 degrees with respect to the front-side 1 st member (11), and if the number of convex portions of the external gear-shaped concave-convex portion (no reference numeral) of the shaft portion (12g1) and the number of concave portions of the internal gear-shaped concave-convex portion (no reference numeral) of the bearing portion (11e1) are, for example, 36, the rear-side 2 nd member (12) can be rotated stepwise in units of 10 degrees with respect to the front-side 1 st member (11). Of course, if the number of the convex portions and the concave portions is set to a number other than 24 and 36, the rotation can be performed in stages at unit angles other than 15 degree units and 10 degree units.

α in fig. 9 shows a1 st variable angle when changing from the 1 st form F1 (see fig. 1) to the 2 nd form F2 (see fig. 2), β shows a 2 nd variable angle when changing from the 1 st form F1 (see fig. 1) to the 3 rd form F3 (see fig. 3), and RL shows a reference line when two members (11 and 12) adjacent in the front-rear direction are in a flattened state (corresponding to the 1 st form F1).

The 1 st variable angle α is an angle required when at least a part of the 1 st to 9 th members 1 to 19 is tilted upward (see the 2 nd form F2 shown in fig. 2), and therefore an excessively large angle is not required, and may be set, for example, in the range of 5 to 15 degrees, preferably around 10 degrees. On the other hand, the 2 nd variable angle β is an angle required in a state where the 1 st to 9 th members 1 to 19 are C-shaped compressed (see the 3 rd form F3 shown in fig. 3), and therefore is set to an angle larger than the 1 st variable angle α, for example, in a range of 25 to 45 degrees, preferably around 30 degrees.

Next, as a reference example, a method of combining the above-described toys (with reference numerals omitted) will be described with the 1 st to 9 th members 11 to 19 (9 in number), the support portions 20 (14 in number), the 1 st decorative portions 21 (two in number), the 2 nd decorative portions 22 (two in number), and the 3 rd decorative portions 23 (two in number) all separated as a starting point.

When the toy is assembled, the shaft portion 12g1 of the 2 nd coupling portion 12g of the 2 nd member 12 is fitted into and coupled to the bearing portion 11e1 of the 1 st coupling portion 11e of the 1 st member 11, and similarly, the shaft portions 13g1 to 17g, 18f and 19c of the 2 nd coupling portions 13g to 17g1, 18f1 and 19c1 of the 3 rd to 9 th members 19 on the rear side are fitted into and coupled to the bearing portions 12f1 to 17f1 and 18e1 of the 1 st coupling portions 12f to 17f and 18e of the 2 nd to 8 th members 12 to 18 on the front side in this order.

Then, the base portion 20a of the support portion 20 is fitted into the two recesses 11f, 12h to 17h of the 1 st to 7 th members 11 to 17. Then, the base portion 21a of the 1 st decorative portion 21 is fitted into the two recessed portions 11g of the 1 st member 11. Then, the base portion 22a of the 2 nd decorative portion 22 is fitted into the two recessed portions 19d of the 9 th member 19, and the base portion 23a of the 3 rd decorative portion 23 is fitted into the two recessed portions 19e of the 9 th member 19.

Incidentally, the 1 st to 7 th members 11 to 17 have the projecting portions 11a1 to 17a1 projecting rearward on both the left and right sides of the rear portion of the outer portions 11a to 17a, and therefore, after the connection, the projecting portions (11a1 to 17a1) of the front member (11 to 17) of the two members adjacent in the front-rear direction cover a part of the outer surfaces of the outer portions (12a to 18a) of the rear members (12 to 18).

The support portion 20 and the 1 st decorative portion 21 to the 3 rd decorative portion 23 may be attached before or during the connection of the 1 st member 11 to the 9 th member 19.

Next, the form change of the toy (reference numeral omitted) and the change method thereof will be described with reference to fig. 1 to 3.

In the 1 st form F1 shown in fig. 1, the 1 st to 9 th members 11 to 19 are laid flat, the lower end portions of the support portions 20 face outward, and the 2 nd decorative portions 22 and the 3 rd decorative portions 23 do not protrude from the 9 th member 19 when viewed from above. In the 1 st form F1, the 7 pairs of support portions 20 that contact the toy mounting surface (see the two-dot chain line in fig. 1 a) can be mounted on the toy mounting surface.

When the toy is changed from the 1 st form F1 shown in fig. 1 to the 2 nd form F2 shown in fig. 2, the 8 th member 18 is rotated upward with respect to the 7 th member 17, and the 9 th member 19 is rotated upward with respect to the 8 th member 18, so that the 8 th member 18 and the 9 th member 19 are tilted upward (see fig. 2). Incidentally, the rotation angle (1 st variable angle α) in this case is as described above.

In fig. 2, the 8 th member 18 and the 9 th member 19 are shown to be tilted upward, but only the 9 th member 19 may be tilted upward, or only the 8 th member 18 may be tilted upward. Of course, three or more members including the 8 th member 18 and the 9 th member 19 may be tilted upward, or a single member or a plurality of members other than the 8 th member 18 and the 9 th member 19 may be tilted upward.

When the toy is changed from the 1 st form F1 shown in fig. 1 to the 3 rd form F3 shown in fig. 3, the supporting portions 20 are rotated by approximately 180 degrees so that the lower end portions thereof face inward (see fig. 10 a and 10B), and the 2 nd member 12 is rotated downward with respect to the 1 st member 11, and similarly, the 3 rd to 9 th members 13 to 19 on the rear side are sequentially rotated with respect to the 2 nd to 8 th members 12 to 18 on the front side, and the 1 st to 9 th members 11 to 19 are folded in a C-letter shape (see fig. 3). Incidentally, the rotation angle (2 nd variable angle β) in this case is as described above.

Next, the auxiliary component 24 shown in fig. 4 will be described.

The auxiliary component 24 is a component of a 4 th form F4 which is attachable to and detachable from the 3 rd form F3 toy and which is used to form the 3 rd form F3 toy into a further collapsed state in the attached state, and the 4 th form F4 toy corresponds to the form when supplied by the article supply device.

The auxiliary member 24 can substantially close the gap on the front side and the openings on the left and right sides of the toy of the 3 rd form F3 shown in fig. 4 (C). In other words, the auxiliary component 24 is a component for making the toy of the 3 rd form F3 to be close to a spherical shape in appearance, and therefore, it is not necessary to completely close the gap on the front side and the openings on the left and right side surfaces of the toy of the 3 rd form F3.

As is apparent from fig. 4 (B) and 4 (C), the auxiliary component 24 is substantially U-shaped and elastically deformable, and integrally includes a portion 24a slightly smaller than the gap on the front side of the toy of the 3 rd form F3 and a portion 24B slightly smaller than the openings on the left and right sides of the toy of the 3 rd form F3.

When the auxiliary component 24 is attached to the toy of the 3 rd form F3, the left and right portions 24b are expanded as necessary, and then the portions 24b may be positioned in the openings on the left and right sides of the toy of the 3 rd form F3 and the portions 24a may be positioned in the gaps on the front side of the toy of the 3 rd form F3. When the auxiliary component 24 is to be detached from the toy of the 4 th form F4, the left and right portions 24b may be expanded as necessary, and then the auxiliary component 24 may be pulled out.

Since the toy of the 4 th form F4 shown in fig. 4 (a) is in a state of being further compressed as a whole, preferably in a state of being a ball or a nearly ball, by the presence of the auxiliary component 24, if the whole or a part of the toy of the 4 th form F4 is packed with a film or the like as necessary, it can be used as a supply target of an article supply device, for example, a commodity of a device capable of being sold by putting in coins or the like.

As shown in fig. 4 (D), the auxiliary component 24 may have at least one engaging portion 24c, and the engaging portion 24c may be engageable with a lower edge of a part of the 3 rd form F3 toy, specifically, the 1 st to 9 th members 11 to 19, and if such an auxiliary component 24 is used, positioning when the auxiliary component 24 is attached to the 3 rd form F3 toy using the engaging portion 24c may be easily performed.

Next, the main operational effects obtained by the toy will be described.

The toy can be reversibly changed to a1 st form, a 2 nd form, and a 3 rd form, in which the 1 st form is a state in which the 1 st to 9 th members 11 to 19 are spread flat, in which the 2 nd form is a state in which a part of the 1 st to 9 th members 11 to 19 is raised upward, and in which the 3 rd form is a state in which the 1 st to 9 th members 11 to 19 are curled in a letter C shape, and therefore, it is possible to provide a player with fun due to a form change and enjoy a form change corresponding to an actual form change of a podded worm as a simulation object.

Further, since the connecting means capable of changing the relative angle between the two members adjacent in the front-rear direction and maintaining the changed relative angle is used, the above-described form change can be accurately performed in accordance with the request of the player.

Next, a modified example of the toy will be described.

< 1 st modification > the toys in which 9 1 st to 9 th members 11 to 19 are connected in order are exemplified, but if the number of the members is at least three, the same reversible changes between the 1 st, 2 nd and 3 rd forms can be made by adjusting the 1 st and 2 nd variable angles α and β described above.

< 2 nd modification > illustrates a member in which the 1 st coupling portion and the 2 nd coupling portion constituting the coupling unit are provided on the front side and a member in which the 2 nd coupling portion and the rear side, respectively, and the coupling unit is capable of changing the relative angle between two members adjacent in the front-rear direction and maintaining the changed relative angle, but even if the 1 st coupling portion of the front member is changed to the 2 nd coupling portion and the 2 nd coupling portion of the rear member is changed to the 1 st coupling portion, the same relative angle change and maintenance of the changed relative angle can be performed.

In the case of < 3 rd modification > illustrating the case where the bearing portion having the internal gear-shaped uneven portion on the inner surface is provided as the 1 st coupling portion, and the case where the shaft portion having the external gear-shaped uneven portion on the outer surface capable of meshing with the internal gear-shaped uneven portion is provided as the 2 nd coupling portion, the internal gear-shaped uneven portion and the external gear-shaped uneven portion are removed from the bearing portion and the shaft portion, and the same relative angle change and maintenance of the relative angle after the change can be performed by adopting the following configuration as a change: the present invention relates to a bearing device for a vehicle, and more particularly, to a bearing device for a vehicle, which has a structure in which a shaft portion is rotatably adjusted in size relative to a bearing portion with resistance, and a structure in which a cylindrical elastic member is interposed between the shaft portion and the bearing portion with resistance.

< modification 4 > as a toy, a structure imitating a podosobrucella was exemplified, but other creatures that can adopt the 1 st, 2 nd and 3 rd forms similar to the above, for example, arthropods other than podosobrucella, vertebrates, and the like may be used as the imitation objects. That is, the same reversible changes among the 1 st, 2 nd, and 3 rd aspects can be made by changing the number, shape, and the like of the components and the support portions in accordance with the simulation object.
