Description

The present invention relates to a toy that can change its shape.

In Patent Document 1 described later, a shell body configured to be in a degenerate state and a degenerate state, a degenerate means for degenerating the shell body by a degenerate force, and a degenerate state in which the shell body is deployed against the degenerate force. A motion toy including a deploying means and a traveling means having wheels that can be rotated by a striking power is disclosed. This motion toy enables running in a deployed state by a running means and changing to a degenerate state in the running process.

However, since the above-mentioned motion toy focuses on running in the deployed state by the traveling means and changing to the degenerate state in the traveling process, even if the shell is imitated by a living thing, for example, it is in the deployed state. And the degenerate state tends to be in a form far from that of the organism, and therefore it is difficult to provide interest based on the morphological change.

Therefore, it is possible to retract the other second sub-body portion 30 to some extent by pushing one of the second sub-body portions 30 with the fingertips, and the other third sub-body portion 40 can be retracted to some extent with the fingertips. It is possible to retract the other third sub-body portion 40 to some extent by pushing in with. Therefore, after performing such a pushing method, the person who has insufficient retracting may be pushed with a fingertip to adjust the retracting amount.

In the above-mentioned toy, since the outer shell on the opening side of the first main element 11 of the main body 10 is larger than the outer shell on the opening side of the second main element 12, there is a step (reference numeral omitted) at the boundary between the two. As can be seen from 2, in the second form, the end portion of the first sub-body portion 20, the end portion of each second sub-body portion 30 (the end portion of the second sub-body element 32), and each third. The end portion of the sub-body portion 40 (the end portion of the second sub-body element 42) is located at the step. In other words, when the aforementioned toy is changed from the second form (see FIG. 2) to the first form (see FIG. 1), the first sub-body portion 20 and each second sub-body portion 30 Since it is necessary to pull out each of the third sub-body portions 40, the minimum portion necessary for the pulling out is projected from the outer surface of the second main element 12. On the other hand, when the upper surface viewing width of the fourth sub-body portion 50 is smaller than that of the step, the fourth sub-body portion 50 is hidden in the step.

In addition, in FIG. 2A, when viewed from above, the end portion of each second sub-body portion 30 (the end portion of the second sub-body element 32) and the end portion of each third sub-body portion 40 ( The end of the second subbody element 42) is drawn slightly outside the first main element 11 of the main body 10, but the end of each second subbody 30 and each third are drawn. The end portion of the sub-body portion 40 may be hidden in the step as in the case of the fourth sub-body portion 50.

In the second form (see FIG. 2), the minimum portion required for pulling out the first sub-body portion 20, each second sub-body portion 30, and each third sub-body portion 40 is the second main element 12. It is desirable to limit the amount of withdrawal of each of the first sub-body portion 20, each second sub-body portion 30, and each third sub-body portion 40 so as to come out from the outer surface of the above.

As the method for limiting the amount of withdrawal, (M11) the outer shape of the front side portion of the first sub-body portion 20 is made larger than the entrance / exit portion 12a, and the front side of the second sub-body element 32 of each second sub-body portion 30. A method of making the outer shape of the portion larger than the entry / exit portion 12b and making the outer shape of the rear portion of the second subbody element 42 of each third subbody portion 40 larger than the entry / exit portion 12c, (M12) entry / exit control unit 60. A method of limiting the swingable angle range of the first swinging portion 62, the second swinging portion 63, and the third swinging portion 64 by a protrusion or the like can be preferably adopted.
