Description

本発明は、乗物や動物等の第１の形態からロボット等の第２の形態に相互に形態を変化する形態変化玩具であって、玩具本体の内部に配置した錘部材の重心移動によって走行玩具等の第１の形態と第２の形態とに可逆的に形態を変化させる形態変化玩具に関するものである。   The present invention relates to a shape-changing toy that changes its shape from a first form such as a vehicle or an animal to a second form such as a robot, and is a traveling toy by moving the center of gravity of a weight member disposed inside the toy body. It is related with the form change toy which changes a form reversibly to the 1st form and 2nd form.

従来、形態変化玩具の形態を変化させて遊ぶときには構成部品を一つひとつ手動で操作しなければならず、操作の手順が煩雑であったため簡単な操作で玩具の形態を変化させることができる形態変化玩具が提案されている（例えば、特許文献１）。この形態変化玩具は後部材には前後にスライド自在にスライド部材が設けられ、該スライド部材にはラックが形成されるとともに一部が後部材の上部に露出し操作体が取着されているので、操作体を操作してスライド部材を前方にスライドさせると、該スライド部材に形成されたラックが前方にスライドする。該ラックには連結リンクの端部に形成されたギヤが噛合しているので、連結リンクは回動軸を中心に回動しながら折り畳まれる。この連結リンクには前部材が回動自在に連結されるとともに、該前部材は後部材に折り曲げ可能に連結されているので、前部材は後部材に対して折り曲げられ、例えば他の形態がロボット形態であれば前部材と後部材とで他の形態の一部であるロボット形態における胴体部を構成するようにしたものである。
特開平９−１０４４２号公報 Conventionally, when playing with changing the form of a form-changing toy, the component parts had to be manually operated one by one, and the operation procedure was complicated, so the form-changing toy that can change the form of the toy with a simple operation Has been proposed (for example, Patent Document 1). In this form-changing toy, a slide member is provided on the rear member so as to be slidable back and forth, and a rack is formed on the slide member, and a part of the slide member is exposed to the upper part of the rear member and an operating body is attached. When the operating member is operated to slide the slide member forward, the rack formed on the slide member slides forward. Since the rack is engaged with a gear formed at an end portion of the connection link, the connection link is folded while being rotated around the rotation shaft. A front member is rotatably connected to the connection link, and the front member is connected to the rear member so that the front member can be bent. Therefore, the front member is bent with respect to the rear member. If it is a form, the trunk | drum part in the robot form which is a part of another form is comprised with the front member and the rear member.

図１は、本発明に係る形態変化玩具Ａの第１の形態の一例を示し、この第１の形態は本発明では走行体を模して構成するとともに、第２の形態に形態を変化させると、図２に示すように、ロボットの形態に形態を変化させることができるようにしたものである。   FIG. 1 shows an example of a first form of a form-changing toy A according to the present invention. This first form imitates a traveling body in the present invention and changes the form to the second form. As shown in FIG. 2, the form can be changed to the form of the robot.

この走行体はフレーム１に複数の回動部材２が設けられ、この回動部材２を回動させることにより第１の形態と第２の形態とに可逆的に形態を変化させるようにしたもので、この回動部材２は第１の形態が走行体の場合には、ボンネットを模した前カバー部材３と、屋根を模した上カバー部材５と、後述する頭部４２とで構成され、前カバー部材３は右ボンネットを模した右前カバー部材３ａと左ボンネットを模した左前カバー部材３ｂとの２つの部材で構成されている。なお、後カバー部材４はフレーム１に固定されて後述する回動機構Ｂをカバーしている。   In this traveling body, a plurality of rotating members 2 are provided on the frame 1, and the form is reversibly changed between the first form and the second form by rotating the turning member 2. Thus, when the first form is a traveling body, the rotating member 2 includes a front cover member 3 simulating a bonnet, an upper cover member 5 simulating a roof, and a head 42 which will be described later. The front cover member 3 is composed of two members, a right front cover member 3a simulating a right bonnet and a left front cover member 3b simulating a left bonnet. The rear cover member 4 is fixed to the frame 1 and covers a rotation mechanism B described later.

なお、後カバー部材４の上面にはロボットの脚部を模して擬似脚部４ａが山形状に形成され、この擬似脚部４ａは上カバー５の後端に上下に回動可能に取り付けられたサブカバー５ａで覆われている。   A pseudo leg portion 4a is formed in a mountain shape on the upper surface of the rear cover member 4 to imitate the leg portion of the robot, and the pseudo leg portion 4a is attached to the rear end of the upper cover 5 so as to be rotatable up and down. Covered with a sub-cover 5a.

図３に示すように、上記回動機構Ｂは錘部材１０の重心移動を動力として右前カバー部材３ａ、左前カバー部材３ｂ他を回動させるもので、この回動機構Ｂはフレーム１上に前後方向に配置され、クラウン歯車１５、駆動歯車１６、笠歯車１７を備えた駆動シャフト１８と、錘部材１０の前後動に連動して上記駆動シャフト１８を回転させる扇歯車２０とで構成され、扇歯車２０の回転は中間歯車２１を介してクラウン歯車１５に伝達されるようになっている。   As shown in FIG. 3, the rotating mechanism B rotates the right front cover member 3 a, the left front cover member 3 b and the like by using the movement of the center of gravity of the weight member 10 as a power. And a drive shaft 18 provided with a crown gear 15, a drive gear 16, and a bevel gear 17, and a fan gear 20 that rotates the drive shaft 18 in conjunction with the longitudinal movement of the weight member 10. The rotation of the gear 20 is transmitted to the crown gear 15 via the intermediate gear 21.

上記錘部材１０は、図示しない軸受けに軸支されて回転するシャフト２２の両端に固定され、このシャフト２２のほぼ中央には上記扇歯車２０が固定され、錘部材１０はフレーム１の前後方向に向かって揺動するようになっており、錘部材１０が揺動すると同軸上の扇歯車２０も前後に回転するので、この扇歯車２０に噛み合う中間歯車２１が回転し、この中間歯車２１には駆動シャフト１８の後端に固定されたクラウン歯車１５が噛み合っているので、クラウン歯車１５が回転させられ駆動シャフト１８が回転するようになっている。   The weight member 10 is fixed to both ends of a shaft 22 that is supported by a bearing (not shown) and is rotated. The fan gear 20 is fixed to the approximate center of the shaft 22, and the weight member 10 extends in the front-rear direction of the frame 1. When the weight member 10 swings, the coaxial fan gear 20 also rotates back and forth, so that an intermediate gear 21 that meshes with the fan gear 20 rotates. Since the crown gear 15 fixed to the rear end of the drive shaft 18 is engaged, the crown gear 15 is rotated and the drive shaft 18 is rotated.

なお、上記錘部材１０は、形態変化玩具Ａを水平状態から垂直状態に状態を変えただけでは回動して重心の移動が発生しないように、ロック装置Ｃでロックされている。このロック装置Ｃは、図４に示すように、上下面に左右方向に形成された凸縁２３ａが図示しないガイド溝にガイドされて左右にスライド移動するスライド部材２３と、上下面に前後方向に形成された凸縁２４ａが図示しないガイド溝にガイドされて前後スライド移動するロック解除部材２４とで構成され、このスライド部材２３の側面には錘部材１０に形成された係合凹部１０ａに係脱する係合爪２５が形成され、後面にはロック解除部材２４に係合する係合凸部２６が形成されている。この係合凸部２６の先端２６ａとロック解除部材２４の先端２４ｂとは斜めに傾斜して、互いの傾斜面が擦れ合うようになっており、ロック解除部材２４が押されるとスライド部材２３は係合爪２５が錘部材１０の係合凹部１０ａから抜けるようになっており、形態変化玩具Ａが水平状態で車輪が接地しているときにはロック状態にあり、垂直状態で後カバー４の背面を接地させた場合は、ロック解除部材２４が接地面で押されて後カバー４内に移動して、スライド部材２３の係合爪２５が係合凹部１０ａから外れてロックが解除されるようになっている。したがって、形態変化玩具を垂直状態にしただけでは形態の変化が起きず、接地しなければ形態の変化は起きないようになっている。   Note that the weight member 10 is locked by the lock device C so that the weight change 10 does not rotate and the center of gravity does not move only by changing the state of the shape-changing toy A from the horizontal state to the vertical state. As shown in FIG. 4, the locking device C includes a slide member 23, which has a convex edge 23 a formed on the top and bottom surfaces in the left-right direction and is guided by guide grooves (not shown) to slide left and right, and a top and bottom surface in the front-back direction. The formed convex edge 24a is constituted by an unlocking member 24 that slides back and forth while being guided by a guide groove (not shown), and the side surface of the sliding member 23 is engaged with and disengaged from an engaging concave portion 10a formed in the weight member 10. An engaging claw 25 is formed, and an engaging projection 26 that engages with the unlocking member 24 is formed on the rear surface. The front end 26a of the engagement convex portion 26 and the front end 24b of the unlocking member 24 are inclined obliquely so that the inclined surfaces rub against each other. When the unlocking member 24 is pressed, the slide member 23 is engaged. The pawl 25 is configured to come out of the engagement recess 10a of the weight member 10, and is in a locked state when the toy A is in a horizontal state and the wheel is in contact with the ground, and the rear surface of the rear cover 4 is grounded in a vertical state. In this case, the lock release member 24 is pushed by the grounding surface and moved into the rear cover 4 so that the engagement claw 25 of the slide member 23 is released from the engagement recess 10a and the lock is released. Yes. Therefore, the shape change does not occur only by placing the shape-changing toy in a vertical state, and the shape change does not occur unless the toy is grounded.

そして、駆動シャフト１８のほぼ中央に固定された駆動歯車１６には上下から挟むように２つのクラウン歯車３０、３１が噛み合っている。このクラウン歯車３０、３１にはそれぞれ歯車３２、３３が一体に形成され、この歯車３２、３３にはそれぞれ、右前カバー部材３ａ、左前カバー部材３ｂを回動させるアーム部材３４、３５が連係している。   Then, two crown gears 30 and 31 are meshed with the drive gear 16 fixed substantially at the center of the drive shaft 18 so as to be sandwiched from above and below. Gears 32 and 33 are formed integrally with the crown gears 30 and 31, respectively. Arm members 34 and 35 for rotating the right front cover member 3a and the left front cover member 3b are linked to the gears 32 and 33, respectively. Yes.

このアーム部材３４、３５はそれぞれ外側にくの字状に曲折した２つのアーム部材３４ａ、３４ｂとアーム部材３５ａ、３５ｂとで構成され、それぞれ一端がフレーム１に、他端が右前カバー部材３ａ、左前カバー部材３ｂにそれぞれ回動可能に軸支され、アーム部材３４、３５が外側に回動するときは右前カバー部材３ａ、左前カバー部材３ｂはフレーム１に対して並行に外側に回動移動するようになっている。   Each of the arm members 34, 35 is composed of two arm members 34a, 34b and arm members 35a, 35b bent outwardly in a U-shape, each having one end on the frame 1 and the other end on the right front cover member 3a, The left front cover member 3b is pivotally supported by the left front cover member 3b. When the arm members 34, 35 are rotated outward, the right front cover member 3a and the left front cover member 3b are rotated outward in parallel with the frame 1. It is like that.

上記アーム部材３４ａとアーム部材３５ａの一端には、それぞれ扇状のラックギヤ３６、３７が形成され、このラックギヤ３６、３７はそれぞれクラウン歯車３０、３１と一体の歯車３２、３３に噛み合っている。   Fan-shaped rack gears 36 and 37 are formed at one ends of the arm member 34a and the arm member 35a, respectively, and the rack gears 36 and 37 mesh with gears 32 and 33 integral with the crown gears 30 and 31, respectively.

そして、駆動シャフト１８の前部に固定されている笠歯車１７には、笠歯車４０が噛み合っている。この笠歯車４０の軸４１は後カバー部材４を突き抜け、先端には上カバー部材５が固定されている。   A bevel gear 40 meshes with the bevel gear 17 fixed to the front portion of the drive shaft 18. A shaft 41 of the bevel gear 40 penetrates the rear cover member 4, and the upper cover member 5 is fixed to the tip.

さらに、駆動シャフト１８の先端には回動部材の一つであるロボットの頭部４２が取り付けられ、駆動シャフト１８が１８０度回転すると頭部４２は後向きから前向きに変わるようになっている。   Further, a robot head 42 which is one of rotating members is attached to the tip of the drive shaft 18, and when the drive shaft 18 is rotated 180 degrees, the head 42 is changed from rearward to forward.

次に、上記構成の形態変化玩具Ａの作動態様について説明する。先ず、図５に示すように、形態変化玩具を垂直の状態にする。この状態では、図６（ａ）に示すように、後カバー４が接地面ａから離れているので、ロック解除部材２４は後カバー４から突出した状態になっているのでスライド部材２３をスライドさせられないので、スライド部材２３の係合爪２５は錘部材１０の係合凹部１０ａに係合したままのため錘部材１０は下方に回動できないので、回動機構Ｂは作動することはない（図７（ａ）参照）。そのため、右前カバー部材３ａ、左前カバー部材３ｂ、頭部４２、上カバー５は回動せず、水平状態の時と同じ状態を維持している。   Next, the operation mode of the shape-changing toy A having the above configuration will be described. First, as shown in FIG. 5, the shape-changing toy is brought into a vertical state. In this state, as shown in FIG. 6A, since the rear cover 4 is separated from the grounding surface a, the unlocking member 24 protrudes from the rear cover 4, so that the slide member 23 is slid. Since the engagement claw 25 of the slide member 23 remains engaged with the engagement recess 10a of the weight member 10, the weight member 10 cannot rotate downward, and the rotation mechanism B does not operate ( FIG. 7 (a)). For this reason, the right front cover member 3a, the left front cover member 3b, the head portion 42, and the upper cover 5 do not rotate and maintain the same state as in the horizontal state.

次に、図６（ｂ）に示すように、垂直にした状態で接地面ａに立てた状態にすると、ロック解除部材２４が後カバー４内に押し込まれるので、スライド部材２３は左にスライド移動させられて係合爪２５が係合凹部１０ａから抜けるので、係合爪２５による錘部材１０のロックが解除され、図７（ｂ）に示すように、重心ｇが横にあった錘部材１０は重心ｇの下降に伴って下方に回動する。錘部材１０が下方に回動すると錘部材１０のシャフト２２に固定された扇歯車２０が下方に回転し、扇歯車２０に噛み合った中間歯車２１が回転してクラウン歯車１５が回転するので、駆動シャフト１８が回転する。   Next, as shown in FIG. 6B, when the vertical state is set on the ground surface a, the unlocking member 24 is pushed into the rear cover 4, so that the slide member 23 slides to the left. Since the engaging claw 25 is pulled out of the engaging recess 10a, the weight member 10 is unlocked by the engaging claw 25, and the weight member 10 with the center of gravity g located on the side as shown in FIG. 7B. Rotates downward as the center of gravity g is lowered. When the weight member 10 rotates downward, the sector gear 20 fixed to the shaft 22 of the weight member 10 rotates downward, the intermediate gear 21 meshed with the sector gear 20 rotates, and the crown gear 15 rotates. The shaft 18 rotates.

駆動シャフト１８が回転すると、この駆動シャフト１８に固定されている駆動歯車１６、も回転するので、駆動歯車１６に噛み合っているクラウン歯車３０、３１が回転する。このクラウン歯車３０と一体の歯車３２にはアーム部材３４ａのラックギヤ３６が、クラウン歯車３１と一体の歯車３３にはアーム部材３５ａのラックギヤ３７がそれぞれ噛み合っているので、アーム部材３４、３５は外側に回動し、右前カバー３ａ、左前カバー３ｂはフレームから離反する方向に移動を始める（図８参照）。   When the drive shaft 18 rotates, the drive gear 16 fixed to the drive shaft 18 also rotates, so that the crown gears 30 and 31 engaged with the drive gear 16 rotate. The gear 32 integral with the crown gear 30 meshes with the rack gear 36 of the arm member 34a, and the gear 33 integral with the crown gear 31 meshes with the rack gear 37 of the arm member 35a. The right front cover 3a and the left front cover 3b start to move in a direction away from the frame (see FIG. 8).

一方、駆動シャフト１８に固定されている笠歯車１７も回転するので、笠歯車１７に噛み合っている笠歯車４０も回転し、笠歯車４０の軸４１に固定されている上カバー５も回転を始める。そして、駆動シャフト１８の先端に固定されている頭部４２も同様に回転を始める。   On the other hand, since the bevel gear 17 fixed to the drive shaft 18 also rotates, the bevel gear 40 meshed with the bevel gear 17 also rotates, and the upper cover 5 fixed to the shaft 41 of the bevel gear 40 also starts rotating. . Then, the head 42 fixed to the tip of the drive shaft 18 starts to rotate in the same manner.

錘部材１０の重心がシャフト２２の真下に移動したときには、扇歯車２０の回転も止まり、回動機構Ｂも停止する。この状態では、図２に示すように、右前カバー３ａ、左前カバー３ｂは外側に移動してロボットの腕を構成するとともに、頭部４２が顔面が前方を向いた状態になって露出し、上カバー５も上下が反転し、後カバー４上に形成されていた擬似脚部４ａも露出して、ロボットの足を表現することになり、走行体の形態の時には擬似脚部５ａを隠していたサブカバー５ａは自重で前に倒れて頭部４２を隠すことがなくなり、走行体の形態からロボットの形態に一瞬にして形態を変化させることができる。   When the center of gravity of the weight member 10 moves directly below the shaft 22, the rotation of the sector gear 20 stops and the rotation mechanism B also stops. In this state, as shown in FIG. 2, the right front cover 3a and the left front cover 3b move outward to form the arm of the robot, and the head 42 is exposed with the face facing forward. The cover 5 is also turned upside down, and the pseudo leg portion 4a formed on the rear cover 4 is also exposed to represent the robot's legs, and the pseudo leg portion 5a is hidden in the form of a traveling body. The sub cover 5a does not fall forward due to its own weight and hide the head 42, and the form can be changed from the form of the traveling body to the form of the robot in an instant.

なお、ロボットの形態で水平状態に戻せば錘部材１０は重心ｇが前方に移動するので駆動シャフト１８は逆回転することになり、この駆動シャフト１８に取り付けられた駆動歯車１６、笠歯車１７は逆回転し、右前カバー３ａ、左前カバー３ｂ、上カバー５、頭部４２は元の状態に戻り、ロボットの形態から走行体の形態に瞬時に戻すことができる。   If the weight member 10 is returned to the horizontal state in the form of a robot, the center of gravity g of the weight member 10 moves forward, so that the drive shaft 18 rotates in the reverse direction. The drive gear 16 and the bevel gear 17 attached to the drive shaft 18 are By rotating in the reverse direction, the right front cover 3a, the left front cover 3b, the upper cover 5, and the head 42 are returned to their original states, and can be instantaneously returned from the form of the robot to the form of the traveling body.

また、図示しないが、ロボットの形態において後部（背中側）にロック装置Ｃを配置し、背中側から解除部材２４の先端を突出させてもよい。このことにより、水平状態に戻しただけでは第１の形態に戻らず、ロボットの背中を接地させたときに第１の形態である走行体の形態に戻すことができる。   In addition, although not shown, a lock device C may be arranged at the rear part (back side) in the form of a robot, and the tip of the release member 24 may protrude from the back side. Thus, it is not possible to return to the first form simply by returning to the horizontal state, but it is possible to return to the form of the traveling body that is the first form when the back of the robot is grounded.

次に、上述の形態変化玩具Ａを収容する収容ケースＰについて説明する。この収容ケースＰに形態変化玩具Ａを収容する場合は、図９に示すように、形態変化玩具Ａが第１の形態である走行体の状態で収容するようにし、収容ケースＰの底板５０には形態変化玩具Ａが底板５０に張り付かないように浮かすための台５１と、台の中央に固定手段であるネジ５２を挿通するための貫通孔５３と、形態変化玩具Ａが後壁５４に張り付かないように支持する支持板５５を設け、後壁５４には形態変化玩具Ａの後部から後方に突出したロック解除部材２４に当接し、このロック解除部材２４を押し込む当接部５６を設けたもので、形態変化玩具Ａを収容ケースＰ内に収容し、ロック解除部材２４を当接部５６に押し付けた状態で、収容ケースＰの裏側からネジ５２を形態変化玩具Ａの底部に形成されたネジ孔５７に捻じ込み、形態変化玩具Ａを、図１０（ａ）に示すように、収容ケースＰ内に固定する。   Next, the housing case P that houses the above-described form-changing toy A will be described. When accommodating the shape change toy A in this accommodation case P, as shown in FIG. 9, the shape change toy A is accommodated in the state of the traveling body which is a 1st form, and the bottom plate 50 of the accommodation case P is accommodated. Is a base 51 for floating so that the shape change toy A does not stick to the bottom plate 50, a through hole 53 for inserting a screw 52 as a fixing means in the center of the base, and the shape change toy A on the rear wall 54 A support plate 55 is provided to support it so that it does not stick, and a rear wall 54 is provided with an abutting portion 56 that abuts against the unlocking member 24 that protrudes rearward from the rear part of the toy A, and pushes in the unlocking member 24. Therefore, the screw 52 is formed on the bottom of the shape change toy A from the back side of the storage case P in a state where the shape change toy A is stored in the storage case P and the unlocking member 24 is pressed against the contact portion 56. Screwed into the screw hole 57 The transformable toy A, as shown in FIG. 10 (a), fixed to the accommodating case P.

この状態で、収容ケースＰを起こすと、ロック解除部材２４は既に当接部材によって押し込まれてスライド部材２３の係合爪２５は錘部材１０の係合凹部１０ａから外れて錘部材１０のロックは解除されているので、錘部材１０の重心移動が起こり、回動機構Ｂが作動して、形態変化玩具Ａは走行体の形態からロボットの形態に瞬時に形態が変化する（図１０（ｂ）参照）。   When the storage case P is raised in this state, the lock release member 24 is already pushed by the contact member, and the engagement claw 25 of the slide member 23 is disengaged from the engagement recess 10a of the weight member 10 and the weight member 10 is locked. Since the weight member 10 has been released, the center of gravity of the weight member 10 is moved, the rotation mechanism B is activated, and the form change toy A instantly changes from the form of the traveling body to the form of the robot (FIG. 10B). reference).

上述したように、形態変化玩具Ａを収容した収容ケースＰを水平状態から垂直状態にするだけで形態の変化が起こるので、購買者は店頭に陳列されている実売用の形態変化玩具を直接触れることなく形態の変化を確認できるし、販売者はサンプルの形態変化玩具を置く必要がなく、様々な種類の形態変化玩具であっても全て対応することができ、購買者にとっては簡単に形態の変化を確認することができ、販売者にとってはサンプルを用意することなく実売品だけ用意すれば済むので、両者にとって有効な形態変化玩具を提供することができる。   As described above, since the shape change occurs only by changing the storage case P containing the shape change toy A from the horizontal state to the vertical state, the purchaser directly takes the form change toy for sale displayed at the store directly. The change in form can be confirmed without touching, and the seller does not need to put a sample form change toy, it can handle all kinds of form change toys, and it is easy for buyers to form Since it is sufficient for the seller to prepare only the actual product without preparing a sample, it is possible to provide a form-changing toy that is effective for both.
