Abstract

A remote-controlled mutual-fight toy robot set is composed of two robot duellers (A,B,) that can fight each other under the manipulation of their respective remote-controllers (A', B') of different frequency, and with their heart portion installed with a touch-triggered switch respectively. Their arms are swung to hit the touch-plate (t) of their rival toy robot which, once hit causes a series of responses of the internal mechanism of the hit toy robot, making it fall backwards, and then stand up again after a definite interval. <IMAGE>

Description

SPECIFICATION Remote controlled combat toy robots One kind of remote-controlled mutual-fight toy robot sets, composed of two toy robot duelers that can fight each other under the manipulation of their respective remote-controllers of different frequency, and with their heart portion installed a touchtriggered switch respectively.

The joy of fighting is obtained when two person attending in the game operates one of the two toy robots of their own side by radio remote-controllers to swing their arms to hit the touch-plate of their rival toy robot which, once hit, would cause a series of response of the internal mechanism of the hit toy robot, make it lean backward, and then stand up again after a definite interval.

The present invention refers to one kind of remote controlled toy robot sets, especially to one that can chase and fight each other under the manipulation of radio remote controller to recreate the players in a motional way.

Not with standing the variety of the remote controlled toy robots, their exclusive character is confined to their being remote controlled to do some marching actions which leads to their monotony and insipidity, and thus fail to stimulate appetite of consumers for such toys. Moreover the toy robot itself is a scientific products which represent but a sophiscated, strong structure, and effects little difference from the common remote-controlled toy automobiles after equipped with radio transmission receiver. In view of the mentioned defect, the inventor developed one kind of mutual fight toy robots which brings the remote-controlled toys into a new territory and expands the utility of the toy robots to its extent.

The major objective of the present invention is to provide a kind of toy robots set comprising two discrete toy robots operated respectively by two players who, command their own subordinate toy robot through the radio remote controller, to chase, attack or dodge its opponent, and make attempt to knock out the latter by inflicting it a vital hit at the heart portion, thereby to obtain the joy of chase and fight.

Another objective of the present invention is to provide one kind of such toy robots each of which is equipped with a highly sensitive touch-plate at its heart portion which once hit, a series of respondent actions will be triggered, i.e. the hit toy robot will lean backward and lie flat as if it were a knocked out boxer, then it may rise up after a moment to continue the next round, and therefore greatly enliven the lifeless toy robots.

The further objective of the present invention is to provide one kind of such toy robots, of which various actions of fight such as dodge, attack, and chase etc, are completely under the player's control through the radio remote controller not only to emphasize the educational meaning of toys but also to improve the player's agility of response through their progressing skill of manipulating their robots.

For further understanding of this invention, it is preferably illustrated in details by the enclosed figures as follow: Figure 1 is the prospective view of the invention.

Figure 2 is the frontal profile of the invention.

Figure 3,4,5 are the embodiment of the invention.

Please refer to Figure 1 which shows that the invention involves two individual toy robots (A, B) controlled by their respective radio remote controller (A', B'), and both have a touch plate (t) in the heart portion. So far as the toy robots (A, B) are marching, their arms will keep on rotating to and fro alternately trying to touch the heart of each other. As the toy robot (A) is concerned, there is a reversing rod at its bottom that fells it, and a pushing rod (n) at it back that makes it stand up.The profile of the toy robot (A) illustrated in Figure 2 reveals the intenal structure including such components as motors (m1, m2) gears (g1 to g6) belt (b), pulley (a), Springs (sol), (s2), (S3), cranks (c1), (c2), touch-triggered switch (w), touch-plate (t), wheel (d), battery (e), inks (r1), (r2), swinging arms.. etc.. Among which the sen switch (w) controls to start and to shut off the motors (m1, m2). When the touch-plate (t) contacts with the contact point (w1), motor (m2) will start and motor (m1) will stop, and this is the reason why the touch-plate (t) can always be kept horizontal.Therefore if the touch-triggered switch is not hit, motor (m2), will keep on turning, and rotate the wheels through the deceleration of gears (g4, g,, g6) to drive the robot moving forward. Meanwhile the belt (b) around the shaft of gear (g6) transmit the power upward to the pulley (a) to rotate the arms (U1, U2) slowly.

Please refer to the embodiment of robot (A) illustrated from Figure 3 to Figure 5. When the touch-triggered switch is hit, it will turn a small angle counterclockwise around (oi) as the center and make its right end slightly rise. At this moment the tenon (t1) located underneath the touch-plate (t) dislocates from the crank (c1), and the touch-plate (t) is pulled by spring (ski) to the right thus no more touch the contact point (w1) of the touch-triggered switch (w).

So motor (m2) stops, and motor (m1) starts to rotate the swinging arm (f) around the pivot point (03) as the center, and compress the reversing rod (h) to the ground to lean the robot by its counteraction until the inclined angle becomes so large that the robot fails to keep balance of its gravity center and hence lie flat on the ground. In the meantime the part of the crank intruding in the curved slot (j) is located at the latter's climax point, i.e. the crank (c1) rotates an angle clockwise around pivot (04) as the center.As the swinging arm (f) keeps on rotating, the links start to move downward and the process (r21) of the link (r2) presses the protrudent part (n1) or pushing rod (n) with its arc inner margin to make the the pushing rod (n) rotate clockwise arond pivot (05) as the center in response to the downward motion of link (r2) and make the robot stand up.After the detachment of the protrudent part (n1) of pushing rod (n) from process (r21),the pushing rod (11) is pulled backto its original position by spring (so), at the same time, crank (c1) begins to rotate counterclockwise to infix in the tenon and push it to the left so that it may touch the contact point (w1) of the touch-triggered switch (w) to stop motor (m) and start motor (m2). In so doing, the toy robot keeps moving forward to prepare to accept the next challenge.

In summarizing all the above mentioned, this invention is indeed to provide a kind of toy robot set that combines both creative ideas and resonable device of which the excitement can still be further promoted by installing with a photo-receptor alongside of the touch-plate so that we can easily hit the robot down from a considerable distance by prejecting a beam of light at its photosensitive area.

Whatever apparent variation and modulation without exceed the extent of the spirit of the present invention made by anyone skilled in the art should be regarded as being within the claims of this invention.

Claims (4)

1. A kind of remote-controlled toy robot set comprising two discrete, like toy robots that can fight each other and characterized by that each toy robot is equipped with a touch-plate in the heart portion stretching outward from inside which once hit, the robot will lean backward by undergoing the counteraction yielded by the downward action of the reversing rod set at the bottom of the robot, and a pushing rod set at its back which stretches out and supports the robot to stand up when the reversing rod is reset.

2. The toy robot set claimed as claim (1), characterized bythata accessory photo receptor can be equipped on the robot to replace the touch-plate previously mentioned which once projected by a flash of light similar response of that when the touch plate is hit mentioned in claimed (1) would be triggered.

3. A single toy robot as claimed in claim 1 or 2.

4. One or more toy robots substantially as hereinbefore described with reference to and as illustrated in the accompanying drawings.
