Description

  The present invention relates to a shape-changing toy, and more particularly to a shape-changing toy that can display visual information in addition to the shape change when the shape is changed from one form to another.

  Conventionally, various form change toys whose form changes from one form to another have been proposed (for example, Patent Document 1). One form of this toy is a traveling toy, and when it hits an obstacle in the state of the traveling toy, the form automatically changes to another form of robot toy without any user intervention.

Japanese Utility Model Publication No. 62-72689

  The problem to be solved by the present invention is that the above-described shape-changing toy is different from many shape-changing toys that change from the shape of a traveling toy to the shape of a robot toy by operating the components one by one. It is surprising that the form changes automatically and the form changes instantly from a running toy to a robot toy, but after the form changes, it does not change from a normal form change toy at all .

  The present invention solves the above problems, and the form changes without the user touching it directly, and the visual information that was not visible before the form change is displayed, not just the form change but the game It is an object of the present invention to provide a morphological change toy with a new idea.

In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, a shape-changing toy according to the present invention is a shape-changing toy that reversibly changes its form from one form to another, and has the following requirements.
(A) The form change toy releases the restriction by the restriction mechanism by detecting a physical stimulus from the outside and a restriction mechanism that restricts the form change from the one form to the other form. (B) The toy body includes a display body having visual information, and the toy body changes in form from the one form to the other form in accordance with the release of the restriction by the deformation starting body. The display body is disposed at a position that cannot be visually recognized by the user in the one form, and the display body is visible from the user in the other form.

In addition, it is preferable that the said shape change toy is equipped with the following requirements.
(A) The deformation starting body is supported by the toy body so as to be slidable in the front-rear direction in the one form. (B) The toy body includes a body part for supporting the deformation starting body, and the body part. And the base body which supports the shape change toy when the body portion is rotated downward, the shape change toy forms the one form. (C) The deformation activation body slides backward. Then, the restriction by the restriction mechanism is released, and the body portion is rotated upward with respect to the base body to be in an upright state with respect to the base body, and the other form is formed. When the display is moved, the display body is positioned in front of the toy body so that it can be viewed from above.

Moreover, it is preferable that the said shape change toy is equipped with the following requirements.
(A) The display body is formed in a drum shape and a plurality of visual information is displayed in the circumferential direction. (B) In one form, the display body contacts the mounting surface and the front-rear direction. It is arranged on the toy body so that it can rotate, and in other forms, visual information displayed on the surface of the display body can be visually recognized.

  In another embodiment, the base is provided with an engaging portion that engages with the display body to prevent the display body from rotating, so that one visual information among the plurality of visual information can be visually recognized at the time of engagement. You can do it.

  In addition, it is preferable that the said shape change toy forms the form of a running toy in one form, and makes the form of a robot toy in another form.

  According to the invention of claim 1, when the form changes from one form to another form in response to an external physical stimulus, the display body provided on the toy body appears and provides visual information to the user. Since it can be presented, it is possible to provide a new idea of a shape-changing toy that can present visual information that cannot be obtained by a conventional shape-changing toy that merely changes its shape.

  According to the second aspect of the present invention, when the deformation starting body slides backward by physical stimulation, the restriction of the restriction mechanism is released, and the body portion is turned upright with respect to the base body. It is possible to realize a form-changing toy that changes its form to the above-described form and that allows the display body to be viewed from above.

  According to the invention of claim 3, since the display body is formed in a drum shape and rotates in contact with the mounting surface in one form, the visual information is displayed at the position where the display body is stopped in the other form. You can see a variety of different information that cannot be obtained with the fixed information displayed on the plate.

  According to the fourth aspect of the invention, when the form is changed to another form, the display body is prevented from rotating, so that game characteristics are added based on the visual information of the display form with the opponent's form changing toy. A form-changing toy can be realized.

  According to the invention of claim 5, in the form of the traveling toy, the display body rotates in contact with the traveling surface, and when the form changes to the form of the robot toy facing the opponent's form changing toy, the display body rotates. Since the visual information can be identified, the battle game between robot toys can be enjoyed.

  FIG. 1 shows an example of a form changing toy A according to the present invention. In one form, the form changing toy is in the form of a running toy as shown in FIG. 1A, and obstacles such as toys or walls. When a physical stimulus that hits is sensed, as shown in FIG. 1 (b), the form changes to another form of robot toy.

  As shown in FIGS. 2 and 3, the form-changing toy has a deformable starting body 1 that is modeled on a bonnet, and a form change from one form of traveling toy to another form of robot. It is comprised by the regulation mechanism B which regulates and the toy main body 2 formed imitating the body.

  The deformation starting body 1 is connected to an unlocking member 5 constituting the restriction mechanism B. The unlocking member 5 is engaged with a shaft hole 10 formed in the rear portion of the deformation starting body 1 so that the shaft hole 6 is rotatably connected via the shaft body 7 and is biased by a spring 8 to be locked. The deformation starting body 1 is connected to the release member 5 so as to rotate upward.

  The unlocking member 5 is slidably accommodated in an opening 29 formed in the front part of the cover member 15 to be described later. A long hole 9 is formed in the unlocking member 5 in the front-rear direction. Since the engagement shaft 17 of the cover member 15 is engaged with the long hole 9 and the engagement shaft 17 is urged by the spring 13 so as to press the rear end of the long hole 9 (see FIG. 4), the lock release member 5 (deformation starter 1) is attached so as to always slide forward relative to the engagement shaft 17 (cover member 15).

  A hook 11 is formed on the lock release member 5, and the hook 11 of the lock release member 5 is urged by the spring 13 to form a regulating mechanism B formed on the base 3 to be described later. It is urged to always engage with the mating protrusion 46.

  A hook 12 that engages with a hook 31 of a locking member 30 fixed inside a head 23 described later is provided inside the deformation starting body (hereinafter referred to as bonnet portion) 1 (see FIGS. 4 and 5). ), The rotation of the bonnet portion 1 is prevented at the time of engagement, and constitutes the hood of the traveling toy in one form.

  The toy body 2 is mainly composed of a cover member 15 simulating a driver's seat, a side cover 18 to which a rear wheel 19 is attached, a body portion 24 integrally formed with a robot head 23, and a base body 3. An arm 25 that rotatably supports the side cover 18 is attached to the shaft body 16 that protrudes downward from the front portion of the cover member 15, and the tip end of the shaft body 16 is formed on both sides of the body portion 24. It fits into the part 27 and is fixed with screws (not shown) from the bottom side. The arm 25 is attached to the shaft body 16 so as to be rotatable. However, the arm 25 is biased by a spring 28 so as to rotate outwardly about the shaft body 16.

  Further, an engagement shaft 17 is formed in the cover member 15 so as to protrude downward (see FIG. 4). The engagement shaft 17 engages with the elongated hole 9 of the locking release member 5 as described above. ing.

  The side cover 18 is fitted with a fitting recess 20 at the front end so as to be able to rotate in a spherical fitting portion 26 formed at the front end of the arm 25, and the rear inner wall surface of the side cover 18 is outward from the rear end of the base 3. The engagement portion 21 that engages with the hook 47 that is formed to protrude is formed, and in one form, the engagement portion 21 engages with the hook 47 and the side cover 18 cannot be separated from the base body 3. In another form, when the toy main body 2 is rotated upward, the engaging portion 21 of the side cover 18 is disengaged from the hook 47 so that it is biased by the spring 28 so that the arm 25 can rotate outwardly about the shaft body 16. Therefore, the side cover 18 attached to the tip of the arm 25 is also rotated outward to be separated from the base 3 and constitutes a robot arm portion of the second form.

  A locking member 30 formed with a hook 31 is disposed inside the head 23, and the locking member 30 is fixed in the head 23 with a screw 32, and the locking member 30 and the body portion 24 are integrally formed. It has become. The hook 31 engages with a hook 12 (see FIGS. 4 and 5) provided inside the deformable starting body 1, and when the engagement is released, the deformable starting body 1 is biased by the spring 8. Then, the head 23 is exposed by rotating upward.

  A drum-shaped display body 40 is accommodated in the body portion 24 and is rotatably held by a shaft body 41 (see FIG. 4). The display body 40 is divided into a plurality of (three in this embodiment) areas a1 to a3 in the circumferential direction, and the areas a1 to a3 are painted in different colors (for example, red, green, and yellow). The visual information b (b1 to b3) is displayed. The visual information b is not limited to a color, and may be a pattern (for example, a pattern of a soap such as goo, choki, par). This visual information b can be used as a condition for judging the result of the game in light of the visual information b displayed on the display 40 of the opponent's toy.

  On one side surface of the display body 40, a substantially triangular engagement plate 42 is formed to bulge. The engaging plate 42 is formed so as to protrude from the upper portion of the base 3 to be described later when the torso body 2 is integrally rotated when the toy body 2 is rotated upward and the trunk portion 24 is rotated upward to be in an upright state. Is engaged with the engagement protrusion 48, the rotation of the display body 40 is prevented, and one of the areas a1 to a3 is specified, and the visual information b displayed in the specified area can be visually recognized from the front. (See FIGS. 5 and 6).

  The base body 3 is formed by simulating the left and right legs of the robot in another form, and is formed by combining the first and second base bodies 3a and 3b and fixing them with screws 35 so as to be integrated. A hook 11 formed on the unlocking member 5 is inserted, and a plate-like support plate 36 formed on the cover member 15 is inserted. A base hole is formed in the shaft hole 37 formed at the tip of the support plate 36. The toy body 2 can be rotated upward by being urged by a spring 45 around the support shaft 39 through the support shaft 39 inserted through the third shaft hole 38. Note that an engagement protrusion 46 constituting the restriction mechanism B is formed on the inner wall surface of the base 3, and when the hook 11 is engaged with the engagement protrusion 46, the toy body 2 is turned upward. Is blocked.

  An engagement protrusion 48 is formed on the upper end of the first base 3a so as to protrude upward. In another embodiment, the engagement protrusion 48 is engaged with the peripheral surface of the engagement plate 42 of the display body 40 to prevent the display body 40 from rotating.

  A hook 47 is formed outwardly at the rear ends of the first and second bases 3a and 3b. In the form of a traveling toy that is one form, the hook 47 engages with the engaging portion 21 of the side cover 18 and covers the side surface of the base 3 with the side cover 18 so that the rear wheel 19 of the traveling toy functions. ing.

  In the toy main body 2 described above, the hook 11 formed on the unlocking member 5 engages with the engagement protrusion 46 formed on the inner wall surface of the base 3 and rotates upward against the spring 45. However, when the bonnet portion 1 moves rearward with respect to the base body 3, the hook 11 and the engagement protrusion 46 are disengaged and attached to the spring 45. As shown in FIG. 5, the cover member 15 is configured to rotate and turn up until the back surface 15 a of the cover member 15 contacts the grounding surface. When the cover member 15 is rotated upward, the bonnet portion 1 and the body portion 24 are also rotated integrally with the cover member 15.

  When the body portion 24 rotates upward integrally with the cover member 15, the display body 40 provided on the body portion 24 also rotates upward together with the body portion 24, but after the rotation, on the side surface of the display body 40. The provided engagement plate 42 is in a position to engage with the engagement protrusion 48 of the base 3, and as shown in FIG. 5, one side of the engagement plate 42 engages with the tip of the engagement protrusion 48 to display the display body 40. Is prevented, and one piece of visual information of the display body 40 is displayed on the front surface.

  In addition, the strength of the spring 45 may be increased and the rotation may be performed once (so-called back rotation).

  Next, the usage aspect of the above-mentioned form change toy A is demonstrated.

  In the form of a traveling toy that is one form, as shown in FIG. 7A, the form-changing toys A and A ′ are caused to travel so as to collide with each other from the front. Since these shape-changing toys A and A ′ are not provided with a traveling mechanism using a motor or a spring as a driving source, they can be run by hand or fired using a launching device (not shown). Since the display body 40 is also in contact with the traveling surface during traveling, the display body 40 rotates while the display body 40 cannot be visually recognized by the user.

  When the shape-changing toys that have run oppositely collide with each other, the forward movement is prevented and the toy main body 2 moves forward with inertia relative to the bonnet portion 1, and the bonnet portion 1 relatively moves backward. become. When the bonnet portion 1 moves rearward, the hook 11 of the unlocking member 5 connected to the bonnet portion 1 constituting the restriction mechanism B is disengaged from the engagement protrusion 46 of the base body 3 and attached to the spring 45. The cover member 15 is turned upward with respect to the base body 3, and the hook 31 and the hook 12 are disengaged from each other. The spring 8 is biased so that the bonnet portion 1 moves upward with respect to the unlocking member 5. Since it rotates, it exposes so that the head 23 can be visually recognized from the front. At this time, the display body 40 provided in the body part 24 is also in a state of being located on the front surface that can be viewed from above.

  A front end portion of the side cover 18 is rotatably supported by the arm 25 on the cover member 15, and a rear inner wall surface is engaged with a hook 47 formed to protrude outward from the rear end of the base 3. A joint portion 21 is formed, and when the side cover 18 is rotated upward integrally with the cover member 15, the engagement portion 21 moves to a position where it is disengaged from the hook 47, and the engagement with the hook 47 is disengaged. The arm 25 urged by the arm 25 rotates outward about the shaft 16 of the cover member 15, and the side cover 18 connected to the arm 25 also rotates outward, which is the second form. The robot toy is a robot toy that is another form in which the arms of the robot are configured and both arms are opened to the outside.

  At this time, one side of the engagement plate 42 of the display body 40 is engaged with the tip of the engagement protrusion 48 of the base 3 to prevent rotation, and one piece of visual information can be viewed from the front.

  When the two form-changing toys A and A ′ that have faced each other change their form to the form of a robot toy that is another form, the visual information of the display body 40 of each other can be confirmed, so that the determination of winning or losing (for example, one is the form If the visual information of the changing toy is green and the visual information of the other shape-changing toy is other than green, the shape-changing toy that displays green wins. Instead, it is possible to realize a form-changing toy having game characteristics that can be used for determination of winning or losing.

  In the above-described shape-changing toy, a case has been described in which the restriction by the restriction mechanism is released because it is a dynamic thing generated by hitting a physical stimulus. However, in order to release the restriction, it is not necessarily limited to a dynamic stimulus. For example, static regulation such as infrared rays or magnetic force may be sensed by a sensor and replaced with a known technique for driving a solenoid so as to release the regulation.
