  • the proper position is the position taken by the robot toy 1 when it is in its original form.
  • the ball portion 11 takes the "predetermined position" described in claim 1.
  • the shaft 6 can move in the shaft line direction. At least a portion of the circumferential wall of the shaft hole from the circular concave section 8 to the shaft hole opening has elasticity to enable the shaft 6 to move.
  • the above-described stopper 9 has a function to prevent the shaft 6 from separating from the disk 5.
  • the ball portion 11 of the tip of the shaft 6 is accommodated in a ball shaped bearing (ball shaped accommodating section) 12 formed on the leg section 3 composing the other side of the ball joint.
  • the side of the opening of the ball shaped bearing 12 is a hole opening widening.
  • a guide rod (engaging section) 13 is rotatably provided by the shaft 14 on the body section 2.
  • a guide piece (engaging section) 16 including a slit 15 is installed upright on the top edge section of the leg section 3. The slit 15 of the guide piece 16 is fitted to the guide rod 13.
  • the leg section 3 can be separated with respect to the body section 2.
  • the projection 7 of the shaft 6 is removed from the circular concave section 8 of the shaft hole, and the shaft 6 moves in the shaft line direction.
  • the stopper 9 of the shaft 6 reaches to the other end of the large diameter shaft hole portion 10, it is stopped there.
  • the ball portion 11 takes the "separated position" described in claim 1.
  • the guide rod 13 is rotated upward with respect to shaft 14 and the rod is removed from the slit 15 of the guide piece 16.
  • the guide piece 16 can be bendable in a direction away from the body section 2 and the guide piece 16 can be bent.
  • FIG. 4 and FIG. 5 are conceptual cross-section views showing the joint structure of the B section shown in FIG. 1 .
  • the joint structure is composed so that the upper leg section (block) 3a, lower leg section (block) 3b and foot section (block) 3c are integrally connected so as to operate integrally.
  • a support shaft 17 is provided on a bottom edge section of the upper leg section 3a.
  • a later-described concave section 19 to accommodate a shaft 20 is formed on the support shaft 17.
  • a bearing 18 is provided on the lower leg section 3b. Then, the support shaft 17 of the upper leg section 3a is rotatably fitted in the bearing 18.
  • a shaft 20 provided to the ball portion 24 composing one side of a ball joint is provided in the lower leg section 3b with the shaft 20 inserted in the shaft hole.
  • the shaft 20 can move in the shaft line direction.
  • a large diameter stopper 21 is formed on the circumferential face of the shaft 20.
  • a circular projection (engaging section) 22 is formed on the circumferential face of the stopper 21.
  • the shaft hole extends from the bearing 18 to the foot section 3c.
  • An intermediate portion in the shaft line direction of the shaft hole is a large diameter shaft hole portion.
  • a first circular concave section (engaging section) 23a and second circular concave section 23b are formed apart in the large diameter shaft hole portion at two points in the shaft line direction.
  • the state where the projection 22 of the shaft 20 is fitted in the first circular concave section 23a is the proper position.
  • the proper position is the position taken by the robot toy 1 when it is in its original form.
  • the ball portion 24 takes the "predetermined position" described in claim 1.
  • a portion of the circumferential wall of the shaft hole from the first circular concave section 23a to the second circular concave section 23b has elasticity and enables the shaft 20 to move.
  • a ball shaped bearing (ball shaped accommodating section) 25 composing the other side of the ball joint is formed in the foot section 3c.
  • the ball portion 24 is accommodated in the ball shaped bearing 25.
  • a claw (engaging section) 27 is provided on the ankle of the foot section 3c.
  • a notch (engaging section) 26 which can be engaged with the claw 27 is formed in the lower leg section 3b. Then, when the shaft 20 is in the proper position, the claw 27 and the notch 26 are engaged to each other to fix the ankle.
  • the foot section 3c can be separated from the lower leg section 3b.
  • the claw 27 of the foot section 3c is removed from the notch 26 of the lower leg section 3b, and the upper edge section of the shaft 20 is removed from the concave section 19 of the support shaft 17 of the upper leg section 3a.
  • the projection 22 of the shaft 20 reaches the second circular concave section 23b of the lower leg section 3b, it is stopped there.
  • the lower leg section 3b can be rotated with respect to the upper leg section 3a, and as shown in FIG. 5 with alternate long and two short dashed line, the position of the foot section 3c can be moved in a free direction with respect to the ball 24.
  • leg section 3 of the present invention is shown, however, application is not limited to the leg section 3 and can be applied to other parts such as an arm section, head section, tail section, etc.
  • the engaging section can be composed of a cylindrical body provided on a first block and a fitting section provided on a second block to fit to an outer side of the cylindrical body, and the ball portion can be provided to project from a tip of the cylindrical body.
  • a joint structure of a toy comprising:
  • the ball portion is structured as a head of an eccentric pin projected at an eccentric position of a rotating body provided on the first block; and the engaging section includes:
  • the present invention can be used in a part where an eccentric rotating movement is changed to a swinging movement, for example between a body section and a leg section of a robot toy representing a dinosaur, and the leg section with respect to the body section can be in a state other than the original state of the toy.
  • the joint structure of the toy further comprises:
  • the present invention can be used in a part where three blocks are connected in a line, for example, a leg section or an arm section, and each portion of the leg section and the arm section can be in a state other than the original state of the toy.
  • rotating power can be transmitted from the cylindrical body to the second block.
