Detailed Description

The embodiments are described in detail below with reference to the drawings. The following embodiments are not intended to limit the invention claimed in the claims, and all combinations of features described in the embodiments are not essential to the invention. Two or more of the features described in the embodiments may be arbitrarily combined. The same or similar structures are denoted by the same reference numerals, and redundant description thereof is omitted.

Appearance of model toy

First, an example of the external appearance of the model toy 100 according to the present embodiment will be described with reference to fig. 1A. Fig. 1A (a) shows the front surface of the model toy 100, and fig. 1A (b) shows the side surface of the model toy 100. The arrows up and down, left and right, and front and rear indicate the directions of the model toys in the drawings, and the same applies to other drawings.

Model toy 100 includes head 101, trunk 102, arm portions 103a and 103b, leg portions 104a and 104b, and wing portions 105, which constitute a main body. In the present embodiment, a human-type robot is described as an example of a model toy, but the present invention is not limited to the purpose of the present invention, and the present invention can be applied to various models such as a human, an animal, a robot, an insect, a dinosaur, a weapon, and a decoration. The model toy 100 of the present embodiment is deformable from the robot shape as the 1 st shape to the flying shape as the 2 nd shape shown in fig. 1B.

The head 101 is coupled to the trunk 102. The trunk 102 is also connected to the right arm 103b and the left arm 103a at the side portions by connecting members, and is connected to the right leg 104b and the left leg 104a at the lower portion. Further, a wing 105 is connected to the back surface of the trunk 102, and the wing 105 is configured to be a wing when deformed into the flight configuration of the 2 nd configuration. Hereinafter, the portion including the head portion 101 and the trunk portion 102 is referred to as an upper body portion.

< deformed morphology >)

Next, a modified form of model toy 100 according to the present embodiment will be described with reference to fig. 1B. Fig. 1B (a) shows the exterior upper surface of the model toy 100, and fig. 1B (B) shows the exterior side surface of the model toy after deformation. The arrow in fig. 1B indicating the direction of model toy 100 is an arrow indicating the direction in the flight mode.

As shown in fig. 1B (a), the model toy 100 of the present embodiment is deformable to a flying form (form 2) by pressing the head 101 against the trunk 102 from the robot form (form 1) and rotating the arm 103, the leg 104, and the like. In the flying mode, as shown in fig. 1B (B), the wing 105 on the back surface is located at the upper position in the robot mode, and the body 102 and the arm 103 are housed at the lower position. At least part of the head 101 is pressed against the body 102 and is accommodated in the body 102.

As described above, according to model toy 100 of the present embodiment, head 101 is pushed down toward trunk 102, and at least part of head 101 is accommodated in trunk 102, so that the upper body is contracted and is covered with wing 105, and the model toy is deformed from the robot shape to the flying shape. Here, it is desirable that the sliding mechanism for pushing down the head 101 toward the body 102 restricts movement in the robot form to realize natural motion. In the robot form, it is desirable to enlarge the movable region of the body 102 as much as possible to realize a more natural operation, and in this embodiment, a turning mechanism described later is provided. On the other hand, it is desirable to prevent the body 102 from rotating, which is one cause of unnatural motion, in the flight mode. In the present embodiment, these functions are preferably realized by using as few accessories as possible, which will be described in detail below.

Structure of the upper body

Next, the structure of the upper body of the model toy 100 according to the present embodiment will be described with reference to fig. 2 and 3. Fig. 2 (a) shows a front view of the upper body. Fig. 2 (b) shows a front view with the front member removed from the upper body shown in fig. 2 (a). Fig. 2 (c) shows a side view of fig. 2 (b). Fig. 3 shows a detailed structure of the internal configuration 201.

When the robot shape is deformed to the flying shape, the front member is pushed up from the state shown in fig. 2 (a) to the upper side of the head 101. Then, as shown in fig. 2 (b) and fig. 2 (c), the internal structure 201 of the trunk 102 is exposed. In the internal structure 201, a space in which the head 101 is at least partially pressed down and accommodated is ensured. In fig. 2 (b) and 2 (c), the pushed-up portion is not shown.

Fig. 3 shows a case where the structure of the upper body shown in fig. 2 (b) is disassembled on the left side. The upper body includes a head 101 and fitting groups 300 and 310. The fitting group 300 corresponds to part 1, and includes fittings 301 to 305. The fitting group 310 corresponds to part 2, and includes fittings 311 to 315. The head 101 is coupled to the fitting 305 of the fitting set 300. The fitting 305 has a ball-shaped coupling portion at an upper portion and a C-letter-shaped grip portion rotatably coupled to the rod-shaped coupling portion of the fitting 301 at a lower portion. The head 101 is rotatably coupled to the ball-shaped coupling portion. Thus, the head 101 can be connected to the spherical connecting portion so as to be rotatable in all directions with respect to the body 102 within the limits of other accessories, and can also be rotated in the up-down direction with the rotation of the accessory 305. The fittings 302 and 303 are assembled to the fitting 301 from both sides. The fitting 304 is rotatably assembled in the front of the fitting 301 in the up-down direction. The 1 st part corresponds to a part of the chest of the model toy 100, and the 2 nd part corresponds to a part of the abdomen (waist).

The fitting group (part 1) 300 functions as a sliding part for moving the head 101 up and down when deforming from the robot configuration to the flying configuration. The fitting group 300 as a sliding portion allows the rod portion provided at the lower portion of the fitting 303 to be inserted into the fitting group (portion 2) 310, and the fitting group 300 and the head 101 to be pushed down (slid). The rod portion is inserted into a cylindrical receiving portion formed in the fitting 311 of the fitting group 310. The fitting 304 is coupled to the fitting 301 so as to be rotatable in the up-down direction with respect to the fitting 301. In the robot configuration, the fitting 304 partially abuts against the fitting 311, and functions as a stopper (restricting member) for the sliding operation. On the other hand, when the head 101 and the fitting group 300 are deformed to the flying form, the stopper is rotated upward to release the stopper, and the head and the fitting group can be slid downward.

In the fitting group 310, the fitting 314 corresponds to a fitting on the rear surface side of the trunk 102. Fitting 314 has a connecting portion to arm 103 and wing 105. A cylindrical insertion portion into which the fitting 311 is inserted is formed in the center of the fitting 314. The fitting 311 corresponds to a fitting at the lower part of the trunk 102, and the fittings 312 and 313 corresponding to the waist are connected from both sides. The leg portions 104b and 104a are connected to the fittings 312 and 313, respectively. Thus, following the rotation of the fitting 311 relative to the fitting 314, the leg 104 rotates in conjunction with the lower portion of the body 102. The coupling portion, which rotatably couples the fitting 311 to the fitting 314, has a cylindrical shape and has a cavity inside. In this cavity portion, as indicated by a broken-line arrow, the fitting 315 is connected from the outside as a rotation shaft and inserted into the fitting 314. Thereby, the fitting 311 is rotatably assembled to the fitting 314. The fitting 315 is formed with an insertion portion into which the rod portion of the fitting 303 is inserted. When the rod portion of the fitting 303 penetrates the insertion portion, the fitting 311 is prevented from rotating relative to the fitting 314. The details are described later.

< rotating mechanism >)

Next, a turning mechanism of the trunk 102 according to the present embodiment will be described with reference to fig. 4. Fig. 4 (a) to 4 (c) show detailed assembly steps of the fitting group (part 1) 300 and the fitting group (part 2) 310.

The fitting groups 300 and 310 shown in fig. 3 are assembled, and as shown in fig. 4 (a), the rod portion 402 of the fitting 315 is inserted into the cylindrical cavity portion 403 formed in the fitting 311 of the fitting group 310. As a result, as shown by solid arrows in fig. 4 (b), a part of the fitting group 310 is rotatably assembled to the fitting 314 not shown in the figure, with respect to the fitting 314 not shown in the figure. As shown by the broken line arrow in fig. 4 (b), a part of the rod 401 formed at the lower part of the fitting 303 of the fitting group 300 is inserted into the insertion part 404 of the fitting 315 from above.

Fig. 4 (c) shows a state in which the fitting group 300 is assembled to the fitting group 310. This state is a normal state of the robot shape of the model toy 100, and as indicated by solid arrows, the leg 104 assembled to the lower portion of the fitting group 310 is connected to the fitting 314, not shown, so as to be rotatable with respect to the fitting 314. This is because the rod 401 does not penetrate the insertion portion 404 of the fitting 315 and is not inserted into the receiving portion 405 formed in the fitting 311. That is, in the robot mode, the lock mechanism of the rotating mechanism is in a state of not functioning, and in the robot mode, the rotating mechanism for realizing a rich posture and a natural motion can effectively function.

< stop structure >)

Next, an example of a stopper structure for a deformed form of the model toy 100 according to the present embodiment will be described with reference to fig. 5. Fig. 5 (a) is a side view showing an internal structure of the upper body in the robot form (form 1). Fig. 5 (b) and 5 (c) show the steps of deforming from fig. 5 (a) to the flight configuration (configuration 2). In addition, the head 101 is shown by a dashed line. The head 101 is actually connected to a spherical connecting portion of the fitting 305.

As shown in fig. 5 (a), in the robot configuration, the fitting 304 as the stopper member abuts against the fitting 311 of the fitting group 310 as the part 2. Therefore, even if a force is applied to press down the fitting assembly 300 and the head 101 in this state, the fitting assembly 304 can support the fitting assembly 300 and the head 101 so as to prevent sliding. In this way, in the robot form, an unnatural operation such as lowering of the head 101 downward can be prevented.

On the other hand, in the model toy 100, when the model toy is deformed from the robot form (form 1) to the flying form (form 2), the fitting 304 as the stopper member is rotated upward and pushed up as indicated by an arrow in fig. 5 (b). Thereby, the fitting 304 partially abutting against the fitting 311 is separated from the fitting 311. Further, as shown by the arrow in fig. 5 (c), the head 101 and the fitting group 300 are slid downward. In the state of fig. 5 (b), only part of the rod 401 is inserted into the insertion portion 404 of the fitting 315. However, by the sliding operation, as shown in fig. 5 (c), the rod 401 is inserted into the receiving portion 405 through the insertion portion 404. This allows the head 101 and the fitting assembly 300 to be housed at least partially in the fitting assembly 310, thereby enabling the upper body to be reduced. The rotated fitting 304 may also function as a connection portion for connecting other fittings in the flying state.

< locking mechanism >)

Next, a locking mechanism for preventing at least one movable in the flying form of the present embodiment will be described with reference to fig. 6. Fig. 6 (a) shows the front surface of the upper body in the robot form (form 1) with the lock mechanism released. Fig. 6 b shows the front surface of the upper body in the flying mode (mode 2) in which the lock mechanism is effectively operated. In fig. 6, for simplicity, the fitting 304 serving as a stopper is not shown.

In the robot configuration shown in fig. 6 (a), the attachment group 310 can be rotated in the arrow direction as shown by the broken line. For rotation herein, the fitting 315 becomes a rotation axis. Although not shown, the leg 104 connected to the attachment group 310 also rotates in a follow-up manner in accordance with the rotation operation.

Fig. 6 (b) shows a case where the fitting assembly 300 is slid downward, and the rod portion 401 is inserted into the receiving portion 405 formed in the fitting 311 through the insertion portion 404 of the fitting 315. Here, the bar 401 is partially surrounded by the inner wall of the receiving portion 405, and even if a force is applied, for example, to perform the above-described turning operation, the bar 401 abuts against the inner wall of the receiving portion 405 to prevent the turning operation. As described above, the lock mechanism of the present embodiment uses a mechanism such as a latch as an example, but other lock mechanisms may be used.

< stability of rotation >

Next, another function of the stopper member according to the present embodiment will be described with reference to fig. 7. The left side of fig. 7 shows the front side of a portion of the fittings of the fitting group 300, 310. Further, an enlarged view of each accessory within the dashed area 700 is shown in the dashed area 710.

In the robot mode, the fitting 304 as a stopper member partially abuts against the fitting 311 to prevent a sliding operation when deforming to the flying mode. Here, as shown by a dotted line area 710 in which the dotted line area 700 is enlarged, it is known that a part of the fitting 311, which the fitting 304 is to be brought into contact with, is formed in a concave shape.

The dashed areas 720 and 730 show a state in which the fitting group 310 is rotated to the left and right with respect to the fitting 314. As described above, the fitting 311 is partially formed in a concave shape to which the fitting 304 is to be brought into contact, so that contact of the fitting 304 can be maintained even when the above-described turning operation is performed. This allows the rotation to be performed in a stable state. For example, if the portion formed in the concave shape is formed flat, the fitting 304 is partially separated from the fitting 311 when the fitting group 310 is rotated left and right. If such a state occurs, the stopper function for preventing the downward sliding operation of the attachment group 300 becomes ineffective, and for example, the head 101 or the like performs the upward and downward unstable sliding operation in accordance with the above-described rotational operation. In order to prevent such unstable operation, in the present embodiment, a part of the fitting 311, against which the fitting 304 serving as the stopper member is brought into contact, is formed in a concave shape.

As described above, the model toy according to the present embodiment is deformable from the 1 st mode to the 2 nd mode, and includes: part 1; and a 2 nd part, in the 1 st mode, the 2 nd part is connected with the 1 st part, when the 2 nd part is deformed to the 2 nd mode, the 2 nd part can be used for at least partial sliding of the 1 st part, and the 2 nd part is provided with a rotating mechanism capable of rotating in the 1 st mode. According to the present embodiment, in the 1 st aspect, the rotation mechanism for realizing a natural motion and a rich posture can effectively function. In addition, when the deformation is made to the 2 nd form, the 2 nd part is provided with at least partial sliding of the 1 st part, thereby preventing the rotation of the 2 nd part rotation mechanism. According to the present embodiment, in the 2 nd aspect, such a turning operation is an unnatural impression, and therefore, the operation can be prevented. In this way, the predetermined portion (upper body portion) can be reduced (deformed) by the sliding operation of the predetermined portion from the 1 st aspect to the 2 nd aspect, and the rotation mechanism can be prevented. According to the present embodiment, a novel structure related to the deformed form can be provided.

The present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiments, and various modifications and changes can be made within the scope of the gist of the present invention. For example, the shape of the model toy is not particularly limited, and includes various shapes such as a human, an animal, a robot, an insect, and a dinosaur.
