Abstract

When the human-shaped toy is caused to take a so-called sign posture, the appearance of a moving part such as a scene of a television animation or a comic can be reproduced with a strong extension without causing a design defect other than the posture. The connection structure section (5) between the waist section (3) and the leg sections (4) has a structure which is a connection element between the waist section (3) and the leg sections (4) and which enables a crank pin (572) as a rotation axis in the front-rear direction to be displaced between a standard position at which the leg sections (4) are close to the waist section (3) and a separated position separated from the standard position.

Description

Human-shaped toy

The application is a divisional application with the international application date of 2016 (stage date of entering China: 2018, 07, 02), the international application number of PCT/JP2016/087256 (national application number: 201680077763.3) and the invented name of "humanoid toy".

Technical Field

The invention relates to a human-shaped toy.

Background

There is known a human-shaped toy which can be assembled by parts and played in various postures by a user. For example, patent document 1 discloses a structure of a human-shaped toy: the leg-connecting ball joints (corresponding to the thigh joints in the human body) are configured to be swingably supported by a front-rear direction shaft fixed to a side portion in the lumbar region, and the interval between the left and right ball joints is changed, whereby both the upright posture and the dynamic leg-open posture can be satisfied.

Disclosure of Invention

Problems to be solved by the invention

In addition, as an example of a design theme of a humanoid toy, a design of a humanoid robot is known. In humanoid toys designed for humanoid robots, the main trunk of the chest, abdomen, waist, etc. is mostly of rectilinear and mechanical design covered by armor. Conventionally, these trunk fittings are designed as 1 box fitting and 1 shell fitting. Therefore, the movable part provided on the trunk is liable to move inefficiently.

For example, in television animation films and comics of hero humanoid robots, scenes called a "sign attitude (solving means めポーズ)" and a "bright attitude (see きりポーズ)" (hereinafter, generically called a "sign attitude") in which shooting is performed while dynamically opening the legs often appear. As the user desires to reproduce the gesture with the human-shaped toy anyway.

Dynamic leg opening can also be achieved with the structure of patent document 1. However, in reality, even if the gesture is simulated, the user may not have a dynamic feeling like a television cartoon or a comic.

That is, scenes in a sign posture and a bright-phase posture of a television cartoon or a comic are scenes drawn in a see-through manner such that a viewpoint is set near the toe of the foot and the scene is shot by a camera having a lens with a short focal distance. Also, since the leg toward the camera helps the near side to be exaggeratedly shown by the perspective effect, it looks long and strong. On the other hand, when the legs of the human-shaped toy are dynamically opened and displayed in front of the eyes, the legs look shorter and lack in strength than the sign posture of the television animation or the comic due to the difference in the perspective effect even when the legs are visually observed from the same position as the viewpoint of the sign posture of the television animation or the comic. This is because the focal distance of the naked eye is longer than that when the sign of the television cartoon or caricature is drawn, and the see-through effect is also weak.

In contrast, if the design of the human-shaped toy is changed to reproduce the dynamic feeling and the leg length in the signboard posture, the human-shaped toy will have an appearance deviating from the original character setting in other postures (for example, the upright posture).

The invention aims to provide a human-shaped toy which can make a movable part extend vigorously like a scene of a television cartoon or a cartoon under the condition of adopting a so-called signboard posture.

Means for solving the problems

The invention is a human-shaped toy, comprising: a waist part; a leg portion; and a connecting member having a connecting structure between the waist portion and the leg portions, the connecting member including a 1 st shaft as a connecting element between the waist portion and the leg portions, the 1 st shaft being displaceable between a standard position at which the leg portions are close to the waist portion and a spaced position spaced apart from the standard position. Furthermore, the present invention relates to a human-shaped toy, wherein the human-shaped toy comprises: a waist part; a leg portion; and a connection structure between the waist portion and the leg portion, the connection structure including: an intermediate link serving as a connecting element between the waist portion and the leg portion, the intermediate link including a leg connecting shaft connected to the leg portion and a 1 st shaft; a link having a slide pin at one end thereof inserted into a slide groove provided from the center of the waist portion to the upper portion thereof and capable of sliding up and down in the slide groove, and the other end thereof rotatably coupled to the 1 st shaft; and a crank, one end of which is rotatably coupled to the 1 st shaft and the other end of which is pivotally supported below the slide groove of the waist portion, wherein the 1 st shaft is displaceable between a standard position at which the leg portion is brought close to the waist portion and a separated position at which the leg portion is separated from the standard position.

In the human-shaped toy according to the present invention, the separation position may be located below and outside the standard position when viewed from the waist. In the human-shaped toy according to the present invention, the spaced position may be located below and outside the standard position when viewed from the waist.

In the human-shaped toy according to the present invention, the standard position may be located inside the waist portion, and the separated position may be a position pulled out from the waist portion.

In the human-shaped toy according to the present invention, the coupling structure may have a 4-joint slider crank type closed link structure, the sliding direction may be set to the vertical direction of the human-shaped toy, and the axis corresponding to the crank pin may be the 1 st axis.

In the human-shaped toy according to the present invention, the coupling structure may be configured such that an upper end position of the sliding range is set as the standard position. In the human-shaped toy according to the present invention, the coupling structure may be such that a position at which the slide pin is located at an upper end position of the slide groove is set as the standard position.

In the human-shaped toy according to the present invention, the coupling structure may include an intermediate link having one end coupled to the 1 st axis and the other end coupled to a 2 nd axis at an upper thigh end of the leg, and the extension of the leg at the spaced position may be expressed by changing a rod posture of the intermediate link such that the 1 st axis is positioned in a left-right direction when the 1 st axis is positioned at the standard position and the 1 st axis is positioned in a vertical direction when the 1 st axis is positioned at the spaced position.

ADVANTAGEOUS EFFECTS OF INVENTION

The present invention can provide a human-shaped toy in which a movable part can be extended vigorously like a scene of a television cartoon or a comic, when the toy takes a so-called sign posture.

Detailed Description

Fig. 1 is a front surface appearance (front appearance) of a human-shaped toy to which the embodiment of the present invention is applied. In addition, the upper body is represented by a silhouette for easy understanding.

The human-shaped toy 2 has a design simulating a human-shaped robot appearing in a television cartoon or a cartoon, and is a toy manufactured by assembling parts divided by parts. In the human-shaped toy 2 of the present embodiment, the upper half body is constituted by the head, the chest, and the left and right arms, and the lower half body is constituted by the waist 3 and the left and right legs 4 connected by the connecting structure 5 built in the waist. The user can enjoy the figure toy 2 by variously changing the posture thereof by changing the relative orientation and the relative posture of the head, chest, arm, waist, and leg parts. Needless to say, the structure of the accessory of the human toy 2 is not limited to the example of the present embodiment. The setting of the character to be the model of the human-shaped toy 2 can be changed as appropriate. For example, a backpack portion, hand-held weapon, shield, etc. may also be added.

Further, the human-shaped toy 2 of the present embodiment can reproduce, for example, a signboard posture, which is critical for opening the legs, such as "shooting while dynamically opening the legs" often seen in a television cartoon or a comic of a human-shaped hero robot, with a higher visual effect than a conventional human-shaped toy. Therefore, the coupling structure portion 5 can displace the leg portion 4 from the "standard position" close to the waist portion 3 to the "separated position" separated from the standard position.

The "standard position" is a positional relationship between the waist 3 and the legs 4 when the human toy 2 is in the upright posture, and is a positional relationship between the waist 3 and the legs 4 as set by a character of a human hero robot as a model of the human toy 2.

The "separated position" is, for example, a position separated from the standard position in a direction in which the leg portion 4 is extended when the human-shaped toy 2 is caused to assume the leg-open posture. The "spaced position" includes several positions, and in the present embodiment, two positions, that is, the "1 st spaced position" and the "2 nd spaced position" further spaced from the 1 st spaced position, are described as an example.

In the present embodiment, since the configurations of the left and right leg portions 4 are formed to be bilaterally symmetrical, in the following description of the waist portion 3 and the coupling structural portion 5, the leg portion 4 on either the left or right side will be described as a representative, and the illustration and description of the leg portion 4 on the other side will be appropriately omitted.

Fig. 2 is an external view of the front surface of the human-shaped toy according to the present embodiment, showing a state in which the right leg 4 is displaced to the "standard position" and the left leg 4 is displaced to the "1 st spaced position". Fig. 3 shows a state in which the left leg portion 4 is further displaced to the "No. 2 separating position". The 2 nd separating position is a position in which the left leg portion 4 located at the 1 st separating position is further extended by pulling out the upper end portion thereof downward from the internal space, and the leg is opened along the vertical, horizontal, and horizontal planes. The 2 nd separating position may be a position of the leg portion 4 in a case where the leg is not opened but is merely extended.

As shown in fig. 2, when the connection point between the waist 3 and the abdomen is regarded as the reference point P0, the position of the leg 4 corresponding to the upper end of the femur is regarded as the displacement point Pm, and the distance from the reference point P0 to the displacement point Pm is compared between the standard position and the 1 st spaced position, the distance from the reference point P0 to the displacement point Pm (the displacement point Pm of the left leg) at the 1 st spaced position is longer than the distance from the reference point P0 to the displacement point Pm (the displacement point Pm of the right leg 4) at the standard position due to the operation of the connection structural portion 5. The leg 4 extension distance D3 can also be ascertained when comparing the tip positions of the legs 4.

The connection structure portion 5 of the present embodiment includes an intermediate link (described in detail later) having a leg connection shaft 571 (see fig. 3), and the leg connection shaft 571 is capable of drawing in the upper end portion of the leg portion 4 to the back side of the internal space of the waist portion 3 at the normal position and drawing out the upper end portion of the leg portion 4 downward from the internal space at the 1 st spaced position.

The connecting structure 5 has a crank pin 572 as a rotation axis in the front-rear direction (described in detail later), and the lower right portion and the lower left portion of the connecting structure 5 including the crank pin 572 and a leg connecting shaft 571 connected to the crank pin 572 can be swung up and down along the upper, lower, left and right planes (see fig. 3).

The upper end of the leg 4 is connected to the leg connecting shaft 571. As shown in fig. 3, the leg connecting shaft 571 connected to the crank pin 572 assumes a substantially horizontal posture in the left-right direction at the standard position where the human toy 2 assumes an upright posture. When the leg portion 4 is displaced from the 1 st spaced position to the 2 nd spaced position and assumes the leg-open posture, the longitudinal direction of the leg connecting shaft 571 (the rod posture when the leg connecting shaft 571 is a rod) is directed in the extending direction so as to extend the leg along the extending direction. As a result, the connecting portion between the leg portion 4 and the connecting structure portion 5 can be pulled out downward from the inner space of the waist portion 3 to the 2 nd separated position as shown in the state of the left leg portion 4 in fig. 3.

That is, when the connection point between the waist 3 and the abdomen is regarded as the reference point P0, the position of the leg 4 corresponding to the upper end of the femur is regarded as the displacement point Pm, and the distance from the reference point P0 to the displacement point Pm is compared between the standard position and the 2 nd separation position, the distance from the reference point P0 to the displacement point Pm at the 2 nd separation position is greater than the distance from the reference point P0 to the displacement point Pm at the standard position due to the operation of the connection structural portion 5. The distance from the reference point P0 at the 2 nd separation position to the displacement point Pm is larger than that in fig. 2 (the distance from the reference point P0 at the 1 st separation position to the displacement point Pm). Even when the tip positions of the left and right leg portions 4 are compared, the extension distance D4 of the left leg portion 4 is clearly recognized. Then, the state of the left leg portion 4 at the 2 nd separated position is a visual property that the leg is strongly extended like a scene of a television cartoon or a comic is reproduced.

Next, a specific configuration example of the connection structure portion 5 will be described in detail.

Fig. 4 is an exploded perspective view of the connection structure portion 5 of the present embodiment.

The connection structure portion 5 of the present embodiment includes a left link crank coupling body 53L and a right link crank coupling body 53R in a space defined by the front and rear

waist half bodies

51 and 52 abutting against each other.

Fig. 5 is a rear side view of the waist front half 51.

As shown in fig. 4, the waist front half 51 has a waist front surface cover 32 forming the front surface of the waist 3 on the front side. As shown in fig. 5, two right and left front slide grooves 511 are recessed from the center of the back surface of the lumbar front half 51 to the upper part. Front journal bearing holes 512 are recessed in the left and right sides of the lower portion of the back surface.

Fig. 6 is a front side view of the rear waist half 52.

As shown in fig. 4 and 6, the lumbar rear half body 52 has two right and left rear sliding grooves 521 from the center of the front side surface to the upper portion. Rear main journal bearing holes 522 are recessed in the left and right sides of the lower portion of the front surface.

Next, the structure of the left and right link crank

coupling bodies

53L and 53R will be described, and the left and right link crank

coupling bodies

53L and 53R are formed to have a bilaterally symmetrical structure. Therefore, the right connecting rod crank coupling body 53R will be described on behalf of both.

As shown in fig. 4, the right link crank coupling body 53R includes a link 54, a front crank half-body 55, a rear crank half-body 56, and an intermediate link 57.

The connecting rod 54 has a slide pin 541 protruding in the front-rear direction and a crank pin bearing hole 542. Crank pin bearing hole 542 is through which crank pin 572 of intermediate connecting rod 57 passes.

The front crank half body 55 and the rear crank half body 56 have a front-rear substantially mirror-symmetrical configuration. The front crank half 55 has a front crank pin bearing hole 551 at its upper portion, and a front main journal 552 protruding forward and a convex center main journal 553 protruding rearward at its lower portion. The rear crank half 56 has a rear crank pin bearing hole 561 at an upper portion, a rear main journal 562 protruding rearward and a concave center main journal 563 protruding forward at a lower portion.

The intermediate link 57 has a crank pin 572 provided such that one end of a leg connecting shaft 571 that is long in the left-right direction is orthogonal to the front-rear direction. The crank pin 572 is a connecting structure between the waist portion 3 and the leg portion 4, and is the 1 st shaft as a connecting element between the waist portion 3 and the leg portion 4. One end of the leg connecting shaft 571 is connected to the 1 st shaft, and the other end of the leg connecting shaft 571 is connected to the 2 nd shaft at the upper thigh end of the leg 4.

Next, the procedure for assembling the coupling structure portion 5 and the waist portion 3 will be described.

Fig. 7 is a view for explaining an assembly procedure of the right connecting rod crank coupling body 53R.

First, the link 54 is assembled to the intermediate link 57. Specifically, the front side of the crank pin 572 is inserted into the crank pin bearing hole 542. Since the front side of the crank pin 572 is set longer than the axial length of the crank pin bearing hole 542, the crank pin 572 passes through the crank pin bearing hole 542.

Then, the crank is assembled. Specifically, the front crank half 55 is assembled from the front so that the crank pin 572 passed through the crank pin bearing hole 542 is inserted into the front crank pin bearing hole 551 of the front crank half 55. Then, the rear crank half 56 is assembled from the rear so that the crank pin 572 on the rear side of the intermediate link 57 is inserted into the rear crank pin bearing hole 561, and the concave central main journal 563 is butted and connected to the convex central main journal 553.

The left connecting rod-crank connecting body 53L can be assembled in the same manner.

Fig. 8 is a view 1 for explaining an assembly procedure of the waist portion 3.

Fig. 9 is a 2 nd view for explaining an assembly procedure of the waist portion 3.

When assembling the waist portion 3, first, the right link crank coupling body 53R and the left link crank coupling body 53L are assembled to the waist rear half portion 52. Specifically, the right link crank coupling body 53R is assembled from the front to the lumbar rear half body 52 by inserting the rear end portion of the slide pin 541 into the rear slide groove 521 with the leg coupling shaft 571 directed rightward, and inserting the rear main journal 562 into the right rear main journal bearing hole 522. Similarly, the left link crank coupling body 53L is assembled from the front to the lumbar rear half body 52 by inserting the rear end portion of the slide pin 541 into the rear slide groove 521 with the leg coupling shaft 571 directed leftward and inserting the rear main journal 562 into the left rear main journal bearing hole 522.

Fig. 10 is a 3 rd view for explaining an assembly procedure of the waist portion 3.

Next, after the right and left link crank

coupling bodies

53R and 53L are assembled to the lumbar rear half body 52, the lumbar front half body 51 is assembled from the front so as to sandwich the side attachment 30 for attaching the lumbar side shell fitting 31 (see fig. 1) on the left and right upper portions, respectively. At this time, the front end portions of the slide pins 541 are inserted into the front slide grooves 511 (see fig. 5) of the lumbar front half 51 and the front main journals 552 are inserted into the front main journal bearing holes 512 in the right link crank coupling 53R and the left link crank coupling 53L, respectively. This completes the assembly of the core portion (core portion) of the waist portion 3.

Fig. 11 is a 4 th view for explaining an assembly procedure of the waist portion 3.

Next, after the lumbar front half body 51 and the lumbar rear half body 52 are combined in the front-rear direction, the upper attachment 33 is attached from above. The upper attachment 33 doubles as an attachment for the upper shell of the waist portion 3 and the shell attachment of the waist portion 3.

Fig. 12 is a 5 th view for explaining an assembly procedure of the waist portion 3.

Next, the waist right front shell fitting 34 and the waist left front shell fitting 35 are attached to the front end portion of the upper attachment 33. Further, a waist back cover fitting 36 is attached to the rear end portion of the upper attachment 33. Further, waist side shell fittings 31 (see fig. 1) are attached to the left and right side attachments 30, respectively. Thereby, the shell metal fitting of the waist portion 3 covers the periphery of the connecting structure portion 5, and the connecting structure portion 5 is accommodated inside the shell metal fitting of the waist portion 3.

Next, the operation will be described.

Fig. 13 is a 1 st view for explaining an operation of the connection structure portion 5, fig. 13 (1) is a vertical sectional view of the periphery of the waist portion 3 when the leg portion 4 is at the standard position, and fig. 13 (2) is a link diagram schematically showing a mechanism of a right side portion of the connection structure portion 5. In fig. 13 (1), only the right leg 4 is shown in order to facilitate understanding of the connection between the waist portion 3 and the legs 4, and the left leg 4 is also connected to the waist portion 3 in the same bilaterally symmetrical positional relationship.

A thigh joint portion 41 provided at the upper end of the leg portion 4 is connected to the distal end of the leg connecting shaft 571 of the connecting structure portion 5. The thigh joint portion 41 includes a leg coupling shaft bearing portion 411 into which the leg coupling shaft 571 is inserted as a rotation shaft in the left-right direction, and a leg swing shaft 412 which is an orthogonal axis perpendicular to the leg coupling shaft 571. An intersection point between the leg link shaft 571 and the leg swing shaft 412 corresponds to the displacement point Pm in fig. 2 and 3. That is, the leg portions 4 are swingable in the front-rear direction along the upper, lower, front and rear surfaces of the human toy 2 (see fig. 1) with respect to the waist portion 3 by the leg connecting shafts 571, and are also swingable in the upper, lower, left and right directions by the leg swinging shafts 412.

In order to simplify the mechanism of the connection structure portion 5 of the present embodiment, a 5-joint open link mechanism is formed in which the intermediate link 57 as the 5 th joint is connected to the swing joint of the 4-joint slider crank mechanism.

That is, the lumbar front half body 51 and the lumbar rear half body 52 (see fig. 11) combined in the front-rear direction function as the fixed link 81 as the 1 st section. The front crank half 55 and the rear crank half 56 (see fig. 8) combined in the front-rear direction function as the crank 82 of the 2 nd stage, and the link 54 functions as the link 83 of the 3 rd stage. The engagement between the slide pin 541 of the link 54 and the front slide groove 511 (see fig. 5) and the engagement between the slide pin 541 of the link 54 and the rear slide groove 521 (see fig. 6) function as the slider 84 of section 4. Further, in the intermediate link 57, the crank pin 572 (swing joint) and the leg connecting shaft 571 are integrated, and thus function as the leg connecting rod 85 as the 5 th section.

When the leg portion 4 is located at the standard position and the state of the 4-stage slider crank mechanism portion of the coupling structure portion 5 is described, the slider 84 positions the slide pin 541 at the upper end position in the sliding direction (in the illustrated example, the top dead center position). Such a state of fig. 13 corresponds to fig. 1. In the present embodiment, since the slide direction upper end position of the slider 84 is set so as to be positioned relatively above the internal structure of the waist portion 3, as a result, the upper end portion of the leg portion 4 when positioned at the standard position is pulled in and accommodated inside the enclosure surrounded by the shell fitting of the waist portion 3.

Fig. 14 is a 2 nd view for explaining an operation of the connection structure portion 5, and shows a state where the left leg portion 4 is located at the 1 st spaced position.

When the leg 4 is at the 1 st spaced position, the crank pin 572 is moved downward from the standard position and leftward and rightward from the waist 3 about the longitudinal axis of the main journal (front main journal 552+ convex center main journal 553+ rear main journal 562; see fig. 7) by the 4-stage slider crank mechanism.

When the leg 4 is located at the 1 st spaced position and the state of the 4-stage slider crank mechanism portion of the coupling structure portion 5 is described, the slider 84 positions the slide pin 541 below the upper end position in the sliding direction. Such a state of fig. 14 corresponds to fig. 2. In this state, the upper ends of the leg portions 4 are held in a state of being drawn in and accommodated inside the shell fitting of the waist portion 3. In the example of fig. 14, the crank angle in the case of the 1 st split position is about 45 ° clockwise from the top dead center and is close to the bottom dead center. The 1 st split position may be set when the crank angle is 90 °, 135 °, or the like.

Fig. 15 is a view 3 for explaining the operation of the connection structure portion 5.

When the leg 4 is located at the 1 st spaced position, the intermediate link 57, i.e., the leg connecting shaft 571, is further swung downward about the crank pin 572, and when the leg connecting shaft 571 is directed toward the extending direction of the leg 4 when the leg is opened, the upper end portion of the leg 4 is pulled out from the inside surrounded by the shell fitting of the waist portion 3, and the leg 4 appears to be extended from the 2 nd spaced position when located at the standard position. Such a state of fig. 15 corresponds to fig. 3.

Therefore, not only scenes of so-called "sign posture" and "bright-phase posture" which are often seen in "shooting while dynamically opening the legs" of a television cartoon or a comic of a humanoid robot hero, but also an impression sensed from the posture (in this case, the strength and vigor felt by the stretching of the opened legs) can be reproduced from the appearance of the posture.

As described above, in the human-shaped toy 2 according to the present embodiment, the crank pin 572 (the 1 st axis) as a connecting element between the waist portion 3 and the leg portion 4 can be displaced to the spaced position spaced from the waist portion 3 with respect to the normal standard position. That is, the leg portions 3 can be made to appear longer than usual in accordance with the amount by which the leg portions 4 are entirely displaced to the position apart from the waist portion 2. Therefore, for example, not only a scene of a sign posture such as "shoot while dynamically opening the leg" which is often seen in a television cartoon or a comic of a humanoid robot hero can be reproduced in a posture, but also an impression (in this case, the strength and vigor due to the perspective visually perceived by the extension of the opened leg) perceived from the posture can be reproduced by the humanoid toy. Naturally, when the leg 4 is returned to the standard position, the leg can be returned to the length equal to the original character setting of the character which is the model of the human-shaped toy 2.

In the human-shaped toy 2 according to the present embodiment, the separated position is located below and outside the standard position as viewed from the waist 4, and therefore, it is suitable for reproducing a posture in which the leg 4 is extended obliquely downward.

In the human-shaped toy 2 according to the present embodiment, the standard position is located inside the shell fitting of the waist portion 3 (i.e., inside the waist portion 3), and the separated position is pulled out from the inside surrounded by the shell fitting of the waist portion 3, so that the coupling structure portion 5 can be incorporated without spoiling the design in a normal case where the leg portion 4 is located at the standard position.

In the human-shaped toy 2 according to the present embodiment, the connecting structure portion 5 has a 4-joint slider crank type closed link structure, the sliding direction is set in the up-down direction of the human-shaped toy 2, and the upper end position of the sliding range is the standard position, and therefore, the standard position is structurally determined, and therefore, when the leg portion 4 is moved closer to the waist portion 3 to the maximum movable range, the position becomes the standard position, and it is convenient when returning the posture. The connecting structure 5 has a leg connecting shaft 571, one end of which is connected to the crank pin 572 and the other end of which is connected to the leg swing shaft 412 at the upper thigh end of the leg 4, and changes the posture of the leg connecting shaft 571 such that the leg connecting shaft 571 is positioned in the left-right direction when the crank pin 572 is at the standard position and the leg connecting shaft 571 is positioned in the up-down direction when the leg connecting shaft 571 is at the spaced position. That is, by connecting the leg portion 4 to the waist portion 3 via the leg connecting shaft 571 that can further swing along the vertical and horizontal planes, the separated position is set to a further position corresponding to the amount of the leg connecting shaft 571, and the extension of the leg portion 3 can be expressed more clearly.

[ modified example ]

The embodiments of the present invention are not limited to the above-described examples, and addition, omission, and modification of the components can be appropriately performed without changing the gist of the present invention.

For example, although the above-described embodiments have been described with reference to a human-shaped toy as an example of the toy, the present invention is not limited to a human shape, and can be applied to any structure in which movable parts are connected so as to protrude from the body, such as animals, birds, insects, and crustaceans.

Further, as an example of the movable portion, legs are exemplified in the above-described embodiments, and names such as an arm, a neck, a barrel, a horn, a feeler, a sensor, and the like can be changed as appropriate according to the design of the toy.

Further, as an example of the displacement direction, an obliquely downward direction is exemplified, but of course, an obliquely upward direction, an obliquely forward direction, an obliquely rearward direction, and the like may be exemplified. Of course, a scene of "jumping and forcefully flying upward" can be reproduced as the direct downward direction. In order to reproduce the assumed "sign attitude", the direction in which the movable portion is projected can be appropriately set.

The relative positional relationship between the waist portion 3 and the leg portions 4 at the spaced position is not limited to the example shown in fig. 2 and 3. For example, the displacement point Pm may be set to a position above or below the position shown in fig. 2 and 3. The distance of separation is not limited to the example shown in fig. 2 and 3, and can be set as appropriate according to the size of the structural component of the coupling structure portion 5. The opening direction of the leg 4 can also be set appropriately.
