As shown in FIG. 4, a fitting recess 828 b into which a protruding piece 827 a provided on the rotation shaft 827 is fitted is provided on the side of the rotation shaft insertion hole 828 a of the gear 828.
The rotating shaft 827 is provided with a convex piece 827 a that fits into each of the fitting concave portion 826 b of the inner member 826 and the fitting concave portion 828 b of the gear 828.

  In the variable power transmission unit 822, the inner member 826 is coaxially fitted inside the outer member 825.

At this time, a predetermined maximum frictional force (hereinafter referred to as a set maximum frictional force) is set between the outer peripheral surface of the inner member 826 and the inner peripheral surface of the outer member 825. In the inner member 826 and the outer member 825 fitted to each other, one of the convex pieces 827a on the rotation shaft 827 is inserted into the rotation shaft insertion hole 826a of the inner member 826 and the rotation shaft insertion hole 825a of the outer member 825.

On the other hand, when the load generated between the inner member 826 and the outer member 825 exceeds the set maximum frictional force (when an overload is generated), the inner side of the outer member 825 The inner member 826 rotates with respect to the outer member 825. Therefore, in this case, the inner member 826, the rotating shaft 827, and the gear 828 rotate as one body, but the outer member 825 is independent of the other members.

  The variable power transmission portion 822 is disposed inside the first arm portion 511 in a state in which one end portion of the rotation shaft 827 is rotatably fitted in the bearing hole 517 of the back side member 513.

Is done. Accordingly, the fixed gear 823 is fixed to the second arm portion 521 (upper second movable portion 520).

With the above configuration, in the upper power transmission unit 820, when the motor 810 is operated to rotate the drive shaft 811, the rotational force of the drive shaft 811 is transmitted via the motor gear 812 and the upper relay gear 821 to the variable power transmission unit 822. The gear 828 is transmitted.
The rotational force transmitted to the gear 828 of the variable power transmission unit 822 is the inner member when the load generated between the inner member 826 and the outer member 825 does not exceed the set maximum frictional force. It is transmitted to the outer member 825 by the frictional force between the outer peripheral surface of 826 and the inner peripheral surface of the outer member 825.

  On the other hand, when the load generated between the inner member 826 and the outer member 825 exceeds the set maximum frictional force, the inner member 826 rotates with respect to the outer member 825. As a result, the transmission of rotational force from the inner member 826 to the outer member 825 (first arm portion 511) is stopped (blocked). Further, as the inner member 826 rotates with respect to the outer member 825, the rotational force transmitted to the gear 828 of the variable power transmission unit 822 is transmitted to the fixed gear 823. That is, the rotational force transmitted to the gear 828 of the variable power transmission unit 822 is transmitted to the second arm unit 521 (upper second movable unit 520) fixed to the fixed gear 823.

The rotating shaft 837 is provided with a convex piece 837a that fits into each of the fitting concave portion 836b of the inner member 836 and the fitting concave portion 838b of the gear 838.

  In the variable power transmission portion 832, the inner member 836 is fitted coaxially inside the outer member 835. At this time, the inner member 836 and the outer member 835 are fitted to each other with the outer peripheral surface (friction surface) of the inner member 836 and the inner peripheral surface (friction surface) of the outer member 835 in contact with each other. . At this time, a predetermined maximum frictional force is set between the outer peripheral surface of the inner member 836 and the inner peripheral surface of the outer member 835. In the inner member 836 and the outer member 835 fitted to each other, one of the convex pieces 837a on the rotation shaft 837 is inserted into the rotation shaft insertion hole 836a of the inner member 836 and the rotation shaft insertion hole 835a of the outer member 835.

At this time, the convex piece 837 a of the rotating shaft 837 is fitted into the fitting concave portion 838 b of the gear 838.

  Thereby, in the variable power transmission unit 832, when the load generated between the inner member 836 and the outer member 835 does not exceed the set maximum frictional force, the outer member 835, the inner member 836, the rotation The shaft 837 and the gear 838 rotate as a unit. On the other hand, when the load generated between the inner member 836 and the outer member 835 exceeds the set maximum frictional force (when an overload occurs), the inner side of the outer member 835 The inner member 836 rotates with respect to the outer member 835. Therefore, in this case, the inner member 836, the rotation shaft 837, and the gear 838 rotate as one body, but the outer member 835 is independent of the other members.

  The variable power transmission portion 832 is disposed inside the first arm portion 611 in a state in which one end portion of the rotation shaft 837 is rotatably fitted in the bearing hole 617 of the back side member 613. At this time, the fixed convex portion 835 b of the outer member 835 is disposed in a state of being fitted into the fixed groove of the front side member 612.

Is done. As a result, the fixed gear 833 is fixed to the second arm portion 621 (the lower second movable portion 620).

With the above configuration, in the lower power transmission unit 830, when the motor 810 is operated to rotate the drive shaft 811, the rotational force of the drive shaft 811 is changed to the motor gear 812, the lower first relay gear 831a, and the lower second relay gear. It is transmitted to the gear 838 of the variable power transmission unit 832 via the relay gear 831b.
The rotational force transmitted to the gear 838 of the variable power transmission unit 832 is the inner member when the load generated between the inner member 836 and the outer member 835 does not exceed the set maximum frictional force.

That is, the rotational force transmitted to the gear 838 of the variable power transmission unit 832 is transmitted to the first arm unit 611 (the lower first movable unit 610) fixed to the outer member 835.

  On the other hand, when the load generated between the inner member 836 and the outer member 835 exceeds the set maximum frictional force, the inner member 836 rotates with respect to the outer member 835. As a result, the transmission of rotational force from the inner member 836 to the outer member 835 (first arm portion 611) is stopped (blocked). Further, when the inner member 836 rotates with respect to the outer member 835, the rotational force transmitted to the gear 838 of the variable power transmission unit 832 is transmitted to the fixed gear 833. That is, the rotational force transmitted to the gear 838 of the variable power transmission unit 832 is transmitted to the second arm unit 621 (lower second movable unit 620) fixed to the fixed gear 833.

FIG. 12 is a diagram illustrating a configuration of the electric accessory 300 according to the first intermediate form. 12A is a front view of the electric accessory 300, FIG. 12B is a side view of the electric accessory 300, and FIG. 12C is a rear view of the electric accessory 300. FIG. FIG. 13 is a diagram showing the configuration of the electric accessory 300 according to the second embodiment. 13A is a front view of the electric accessory 300, FIG. 13B is a side view of the electric accessory 300, and FIG. 13C is a rear view of the electric accessory 300.

As described above, each of the upper movable unit 310 and the lower movable unit 320 includes a plurality of light emitting units 330 (two in this embodiment). The fixing unit 305 has one light emitting unit 330a. That is, the electric accessory 300 includes five light emitting units 330.
In the electric accessory 300, the light emitting units 330b and 330c of the upper movable unit 310 are arranged so as to be continuous upward from the light emitting unit 330a around the light emitting unit 330a of the fixed unit 305. The light emitting portions 330d and 330e of the lower movable portion 320 are disposed so as to be continuous toward the lower side.

Here, each light emitting unit 330 is configured with a predetermined first motif. In the present embodiment, each light emitting unit 330 is configured with a heart-shaped motif in plan view. The five light emitting units 330 are formed such that the light emitting unit 330a is “large”, the light emitting units 330b and 330d are “medium”, and the light emitting units 330c and 330e are “small”.
The electric accessory 300 can change its form by driving each of the upper movable portion 310 and the lower movable portion 320. The electric accessory 300 drives the upper movable portion 310 and the lower movable portion 320, respectively, so that the first form (see FIG. 10A and FIG. 11), the intermediate form (see FIG. 12), and the second form. (Refer to FIG. 10B and FIG. 13).

  As shown to Fig.10 (a) and FIG. 11, a 1st form is a form by which the five light emission parts 300 are arrange | positioned substantially linearly. In the first form, the first motif (heart-shaped motif) of each light emitting unit 330 is individually displayed. In the present embodiment, in the first embodiment, the first motif of each light emitting unit 330 is individually displayed, and a total of five heart motifs is displayed.

As shown in FIG. 12, the intermediate form (the first intermediate form and the second intermediate form) is a form of a deformation process between the first form and the second form, and is still the first form of each light emitting unit 330. One motif is displayed individually.
As shown in FIGS. 10B and 13, the second form is a form in which the five light emitting units 330 are arranged in an integrated state. The second form is a form that constitutes a predetermined second motif different from the first motif by combining the first motifs of the plurality of light emitting units 330. In the present embodiment, the second form is a form in which the first motifs of all the light emitting units 330 are combined together to form a cherry blossom shaped motif.

  The electric accessory 300 changes its form into a first form, an intermediate form, and a second form by driving the upper movable part 310 and the lower movable part 320 around the fixed part 305. Then, the electric accessory 300 starts from the first form displaying the five heart motifs, so that the light emitting part 330c of the upper movable part 310 and the light emitting part 330e of the lower movable part 320 are in contact with each other. By driving the 310 and the lower movable part 320, the second form for displaying the cherry blossom motif is transformed through the intermediate form. In addition, the electric accessory 300 starts from the second mode in which the cherry blossom motif is displayed, and the upper movable portion 310 and the lower portion are separated so that the light emitting portion 330c of the upper movable portion 310 and the light emitting portion 330e of the lower movable portion 320 are separated from each other. By driving the movable part 320, it is transformed into a first form that displays five heart motifs via an intermediate form.

Next, an effect | action at the time of the electric accessory 300 changing a form is demonstrated.
As shown in FIGS. 6 and 11, in the electric accessory 300 (first stage) of the first form, the upper movable unit 500 is driven most upward and the lower movable unit 600 is driven most downward. It is in a state. Specifically, in the upper movable unit 500, the upper second rotation shaft 515 of the upper first movable unit 510 is in a state of being in contact with the one end surface 414 a of the restriction hole 414 of the base member 410. In the upper movable unit 500, the fixed column 522 of the upper second movable unit 520 is in contact with the one end surface 518 a of the insertion hole 518 of the upper first movable unit 510. In the lower movable portion 600, the lower second rotating shaft 615 of the lower first movable portion 610 is in contact with the one end surface 415 a of the restriction hole 415 of the base member 410. In the lower movable portion 600, the fixed column 622 of the lower second movable portion 620 is in contact with the one end surface 618a of the insertion hole 618 of the lower first movable portion 610.

  When the motor 810 is operated to rotate the drive shaft 811 in the first rotational direction (second stage) in the electric accessory 300 according to the first embodiment, the rotational force of the drive shaft 811 is increased by the motor gear 812 and the upper side. This is transmitted to the gear 828 of the variable power transmission unit 822 via the relay gear 821. At this time, in the variable power transmission unit 822, since the load generated between the inner member 826 and the outer member 825 does not exceed the set maximum frictional force, the inner member 826 and the outer member 825 It is rotated together. Accordingly, the upper first movable portion 510 and the upper second movable portion 520 are rotated downward with the upper first rotation shaft 412 of the base member 410 as the rotation axis in an integrated state. The rotational force of the drive shaft 811 is transmitted to the gear 838 of the variable power transmission unit 832 via the motor gear 812, the lower first relay gear 831a, and the lower second relay gear 831b. At this time, since the load generated between the inner member 836 and the outer member 835 does not exceed the set maximum frictional force in the variable power transmission unit 832, the inner member 836 and the outer member 835 It is rotated together. Accordingly, the lower first movable portion 610 and the lower second movable portion 620 are rotated upward with the lower first rotation shaft 413 of the base member 410 as the rotation axis in an integrated state.

  When the drive shaft 811 of the motor 810 is further rotated in the first rotation direction, the first intermediate form is configured. As shown in FIGS. 7 and 12, in the electric intermediate 300 of the first intermediate form, in the upper movable portion 500, the upper second rotating shaft 515 of the upper first movable portion 510 is connected to the restriction hole 414 of the base member 410. It is in the state which contacted the other end surface 414b. In the upper movable unit 500, the fixed column 522 of the upper second movable unit 520 is still in contact with the one end surface 518a of the insertion hole 518 of the upper first movable unit 510. In the lower movable portion 600, the lower second rotating shaft 615 of the lower first movable portion 610 is in contact with the other end surface 415 b of the restriction hole 415 of the base member 410. In the lower movable portion 600, the fixed column 622 of the lower second movable portion 620 is still in contact with the one end surface 618a of the insertion hole 618 of the lower first movable portion 610.

  Then, in the electric intermediate 300 of the first intermediate form, when the drive shaft 811 of the motor 810 is further rotated in the first rotation direction (third stage), the upper second rotation shaft 515 of the upper first movable portion 510 is used. Is in contact with the other end surface 414b of the restriction hole 414 of the base member 410, an overload occurs in the transmission of power of the upper first movable portion 510. Specifically, in the variable power transmission unit 822, the load generated between the inner member 826 and the outer member 825 exceeds the set maximum frictional force (hereinafter referred to as an overload state). When an overload state occurs between the inner member 826 and the outer member 825, the inner member 826 rotates with respect to the outer member 825. As a result, transmission of the rotational force from the inner member 826 to the outer member 825 is stopped, and the rotation of the upper first movable portion 510 is stopped. Further, as the inner member 826 rotates with respect to the outer member 825, the rotational force transmitted to the gear 828 of the variable power transmission unit 822 is transmitted to the fixed gear 823. Accordingly, the upper second movable portion 520 is rotated downward with the upper second rotation shaft 515 of the upper first movable portion 510 as a rotation axis.

  Similarly, the upper second rotating shaft 615 of the lower first movable portion 610 is in contact with the other end surface 415b of the restriction hole 415 of the base member 410, so that excessive power transmission in the lower first movable portion 610 is caused. A load is generated. Specifically, in the variable power transmission unit 832, an overload state occurs between the inner member 836 and the outer member 835. When an overload state occurs between the inner member 836 and the outer member 835, the inner member 836 rotates with respect to the outer member 835. Thereby, transmission of the rotational force from the inner member 836 to the outer member 835 is stopped, and the rotation of the lower first movable portion 610 is stopped. Further, when the inner member 836 rotates with respect to the outer member 835, the rotational force transmitted to the gear 838 of the variable power transmission unit 832 is transmitted to the fixed gear 833. Therefore, the lower second movable portion 620 is rotated upward with the lower second rotating shaft 615 of the lower first movable portion 610 as the rotation axis.

  Then, when the drive shaft 811 of the motor 810 is further rotated in the first rotation direction, the second form is configured. As shown in FIGS. 8 and 13, in the second type of electric accessory 300, the upper movable unit 500 is driven most downward and the lower movable unit 600 is driven most upward. . Specifically, in the upper movable unit 500, the upper second rotation shaft 515 of the upper first movable unit 510 is in contact with the other end surface 414 b of the restriction hole 414 of the base member 410. In the upper movable unit 500, the fixed column 522 of the upper second movable unit 520 is in contact with the other end surface 518 b of the insertion hole 518 of the upper first movable unit 510. In the lower movable portion 600, the lower second rotating shaft 615 of the lower first movable portion 610 is in contact with the other end surface 415 b of the restriction hole 415 of the base member 410. In the lower movable portion 600, the fixed column 622 of the lower second movable portion 620 is in contact with the other end surface 618b of the insertion hole 618 of the lower first movable portion 610.

  On the other hand, when the motor 810 is operated and the drive shaft 811 is rotated in the second rotation direction in the electric accessory 300 of the second form, the rotational force of the drive shaft 811 is transmitted via the motor gear 812 and the upper relay gear 821. And transmitted to the gear 828 of the variable power transmission unit 822. At this time, in the variable power transmission unit 822, since an overload state is not generated between the inner member 826 and the outer member 825, the inner member 826 and the outer member 825 are rotated together. . Accordingly, the upper first movable portion 510 and the upper second movable portion 520 are rotated upward with the upper first rotation shaft 412 of the base member 410 as the rotation axis in an integrated state. The rotational force of the drive shaft 811 is transmitted to the gear 838 of the variable power transmission unit 832 via the motor gear 812, the lower first relay gear 831a, and the lower second relay gear 831b. At this time, in the variable power transmission unit 832, since no overload state is generated between the inner member 836 and the outer member 835, the inner member 836 and the outer member 835 are rotated together. . Accordingly, the lower first movable portion 610 and the lower second movable portion 620 are rotated downward with the lower first rotation shaft 413 of the base member 410 as the rotation axis in an integrated state.

  Then, when the drive shaft 811 of the motor 810 is further rotated in the second rotation direction, a second intermediate form (not shown) is configured. In the electric intermediate 300 of the second intermediate form, in the upper movable portion 500, the upper second rotating shaft 515 of the upper first movable portion 510 is in contact with the one end surface 414a of the restriction hole 414 of the base member 410. ing. In the upper movable unit 500, the fixed column 522 of the upper second movable unit 520 is still in contact with the other end surface 518b of the insertion hole 518 of the upper first movable unit 510. In the lower movable portion 600, the lower second rotary shaft 615 of the lower first movable portion 610 is in contact with the one end surface 415 a of the restriction hole 415 of the base member 410. In the lower movable portion 600, the fixed column 622 of the lower second movable portion 620 is still in contact with the other end surface 618b of the insertion hole 618 of the lower first movable portion 610.

  Then, in the electric intermediate 300 of the second intermediate form, when the drive shaft 811 of the motor 810 is further rotated in the second rotation direction, the upper second rotation shaft 515 of the upper first movable portion 510 becomes the base member 410. By contacting the one end surface 414 a of the restriction hole 414, an overload is generated in the transmission of power of the upper first movable portion 510. Specifically, in the variable power transmission unit 822, an overload state is generated between the inner member 826 and the outer member 825, and the inner member 826 rotates with respect to the outer member 825. As a result, transmission of the rotational force from the inner member 826 to the outer member 825 is stopped, and the rotation of the upper first movable portion 510 is stopped. Further, as the inner member 826 rotates with respect to the outer member 825, the rotational force transmitted to the gear 828 of the variable power transmission unit 822 is transmitted to the fixed gear 823. Accordingly, the upper second movable portion 520 is rotated upward with the upper second rotation shaft 515 of the upper first movable portion 510 as a rotation axis.

  Similarly, since the upper second rotary shaft 615 of the lower first movable portion 610 is in contact with the one end surface 415a of the restriction hole 415 of the base member 410, excessive transmission of power in the lower first movable portion 610 is caused. A load is generated. Specifically, in the variable power transmission unit 832, an overload state occurs between the inner member 836 and the outer member 835, and the inner member 836 rotates with respect to the outer member 835. Thereby, transmission of the rotational force from the inner member 836 to the outer member 835 is stopped, and the rotation of the lower first movable portion 610 is stopped. Further, when the inner member 836 rotates with respect to the outer member 835, the rotational force transmitted to the gear 838 of the variable power transmission unit 832 is transmitted to the fixed gear 833. Accordingly, the lower second movable portion 620 is rotated downward with the lower second rotary shaft 615 of the lower first movable portion 610 as a rotation axis.

Then, when the drive shaft 811 of the motor 810 is further rotated in the second rotation direction, the first form is configured.
