Application of Article 30, Paragraph 2 of the Patent Act From June 13, 2019 to June 16, 2019 At Tokyo Big Sight West Halls 1-4 (3-11-1 Ariake, Koto-ku, Tokyo), the product name "Turtle" on display

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

Patent Document 1 mentioned below discloses a shell configured to be able to take a retracted state and an expanded state, a retraction means that brings the shell into a retracted state by a biasing force, and a mechanism that moves the shell to a deployed state against the biasing force. An action toy is disclosed that includes a deploying means and a traveling means having wheels that can be rotated by a firing force. This moving toy is capable of traveling in an expanded state using a traveling means and changing to a retracted state during the traveling process.

However, since the above-mentioned moving toys are mainly focused on running in the unfolded state using the traveling means and changing to the retracted state during the running process, even if the shell is modeled after a living thing, The degenerate state tends to result in a form that is completely different from that of the living organism, and it is therefore difficult to provide interest based on morphological changes.

<Change from the first form of the toy to the second form>
When changing the above-described toy from the first form (see FIG. 1) to the second form (see FIG. 2), push the first sub-body part 20 with your fingertips and retract it along the entrance/exit part 12a. After adjusting the orientation by appropriately rotating the first sub-body element 31 and the second sub-body element 32, push each second sub-body part 30 with your fingertips and retract it along each entrance/exit part 12b, and then remove the first sub-body element 31 from the second sub-body element 32. After adjusting the orientation by appropriately rotating the element 41 and the second sub-body element 42, each third sub-body part 40 is pushed in with a fingertip and retracted along each entrance/exit part 12c, and the fourth sub-body part Adjust the orientation by appropriately rotating 50 with your fingertips.

Incidentally, each of the second sub body parts 30 is connected to the second swinging part 63 of the in/out control part 60, and each of the third sub body parts 40 is connected to the third swing part 64 of the in/out control part 60. Therefore, by pushing one second sub-body part 30 with a fingertip, it is possible to retract the other second sub-body part 30 to some extent, and one third sub-body part 40 can be pushed in with a fingertip. By pushing it in, it is possible to retract the other third sub-body part 40 to some extent. Therefore, after performing such a pushing method, the amount of retraction may be adjusted by pushing in the part that is insufficiently retracted with a fingertip.

In the above-mentioned toy, since the outline on the opening side of the first main element 11 of the main body part 10 is larger than the outline on the opening side of the second main element 12, there is a step (numerical omitted) at the boundary between the two. 2, in the second embodiment, the end of the first sub-body part 20, the end of each second sub-body part 30 (the end of the second sub-body element 32), and the end of each third sub-body part 30, The end of the sub-body part 40 (the end of the second sub-body element 42) is located at the step. In other words, when changing the aforementioned toy from the second form (see FIG. 2) to the first form (see FIG. 1), the first sub-body part 20 and each second sub-body part 30 Since it is necessary to pull out each third sub-body part 40, the minimum portion necessary for pulling out the third sub-body part 40 protrudes from the outer surface of the second main element 12. On the other hand, when the width of the fourth sub-body portion 50 in top view is smaller than the step, the fourth sub-body portion 50 is hidden behind the step.

Note that FIG. 2(A) shows the end portions of each of the second sub-body portions 30 (the ends of the second sub-body elements 32) and the ends of each of the third sub-body portions 40 ( Although the illustration shows that the end portion of the second sub-body element 42 is slightly protruding from the first main body element 11 of the main body portion 10, the end portion of each second sub-body portion 30 and each third The end portion of the secondary body portion 40 may be hidden in the step similarly to the fourth secondary body portion 50.

In the second form (see FIG. 2), the minimum portion necessary for pulling out the first sub-body part 20, each second sub-body part 30, and each third sub-body part 40 is the second main body element 12. In order for the first sub-body part 20, each of the second sub-body parts 30, and each of the third sub-body parts 40 to be retracted, it is desirable to limit the amount of retraction of each of the first sub-body part 20, each second sub-body part 30, and each third sub-body part 40.

As a method for limiting the amount of retraction, (M11) the outer shape of the front part of the first sub-body part 20 is made larger than the entrance/exit part 12a, and the front side of the second sub-body element 32 of each second sub-body part 30 is A method of making the outer shape of the part larger than the entrance/exit part 12b and making the outer shape of the rear part of the second sub-body element 42 of each third sub-body part 40 larger than the entrance/exit part 12c, (M12) In/out control part 60 A method of restricting the swingable angular range of the first swinging part 62, second swinging part 63, and third swinging part 64 using protrusions or the like can be preferably adopted.

<Change from the second form of the toy to the first form>
When changing the above-mentioned toy from the second form (see FIG. 2) to the first form (see FIG. 1), the end of the first sub-body part 20 is pinched with fingertips and pulled along the entrance/exit part 12a. Then, pinch the end of each second sub-body part 30 with your fingertips and pull it out along each entrance/exit part 12b, and rotate each first sub-body element 31 and each second sub-body element 32 appropriately to adjust the orientation. Adjust the end of each third sub-body part 40 with your fingertips and pull it out along each entrance/exit part 12c, and rotate each first sub-body element 41 and each second sub-body element 42 appropriately to change the orientation. At the same time, the direction of the fourth sub-body part 50 is adjusted by appropriately rotating it with a fingertip.

Incidentally, each of the second sub body parts 30 is connected to the second swinging part 63 of the in/out control part 60, and each of the third sub body parts 40 is connected to the third swing part 64 of the in/out control part 60. Therefore, by pinching the end of one of the second secondary body parts 30 with your fingertips and pulling it out, it is possible to pull out the other second secondary body part 30 to some extent. By pinching the end of the secondary body part 40 with fingertips and pulling it out, it is possible to pull out the other third secondary body part 40 to some extent. Therefore, after performing such a pulling-out method, the amount of protrusion may be adjusted by pulling out the side where the protrusion is insufficient with a fingertip.

As can be seen from FIG. 4, in the above-described toy, the swinging direction of the second swinging section 63 of the entrance/exit control section 60 does not coincide with the pulling direction of each second sub-body section 30; The swinging direction of the three swinging portions 64 also does not match the direction in which each of the third sub-body portions 40 is pulled out. Therefore, when pulling out each of the second sub-body parts 30, the parts of the second swinging part 63, excluding mainly the connecting part 63a, are elastically deformed in the vertical and horizontal directions, and each of the third sub-body parts 40 is pulled out. At times, mainly a portion of the third swinging portion 64 excluding the connecting portion 64a is elastically deformed in the vertical direction and the horizontal direction. Of course, when the first sub-body part 20 is pulled out, mainly the portion of the first swinging part 62 excluding the connecting part 62a is elastically deformed in the vertical direction.

That is, as the second swinging section 63 is elastically deformed in the vertical and horizontal directions, the outer surface of each second sub-body section 30 comes into contact with the inner surface of each entrance/exit section 12b (including the lower surface of the first main element 11). As the third swinging section 64 is elastically deformed in the vertical and horizontal directions, the outer surface of each third sub-body section 40 comes into contact with the inner surface of each entrance/exit section 12c (including the lower surface of the first main element 11). do. Of course, as the first swinging section 62 is elastically deformed in the vertical direction, the outer surface of the first sub-body section 20 comes into contact with the inner surface of the entrance/exit section 12a (including the lower surface of the first main element 11). That is, when pulling out the first sub-body part 20, each second sub-body part 30, and each third sub-body part 40, each sub-body part 20, 30, and 40 is pulled out by the resistance of the contact. It is also possible to hold it in the extended position.

Apart from this, in order to pull out the first sub-body part 20, each second sub-body part 30, and each third sub-body part 40 by the maximum amount in the first form (see FIG. 1), it is necessary to It is desirable to limit the amount of protrusion of each of the first sub-body portion 20, each second sub-body portion 30, and each third sub-body portion 40.

As a method for limiting the amount of protrusion, (M21) the outer shape of the rear side portion of the first sub-body part 20 is made larger than the entrance/exit part 12a, and the first sub-body element 31 of each second sub-body part 30 is A method of making the outer shape of the rear part larger than the entrance/exit part 12b and making the outer shape of the front part of the first sub-body element 41 of each third sub-body part 40 larger than the entrance/exit part 12c, (M22) first A rear portion of the secondary body portion 20 is provided with a portion that is caught on the inside of the entrance/exit portion 12a, and a portion on the rear side of the first secondary body element 31 of each second secondary body portion 30 is provided with a portion that is caught on the inside of the entrance/exit portion 12b. , a method of providing a front portion of the first subsidiary body element 41 of each third subsidiary body portion 40 with a portion that is caught inside the entrance/exit portion 12c; (M23) a method of providing the first swing portion 62 and the second swing portion of the entrance/exit control portion 60; A method such as limiting the swingable angular range of the moving part 63 and the third swinging part 64 using a protrusion or the like can be preferably adopted.

<Main effects obtained by toys>
According to the above-described toy, the secondary body parts (the first secondary body part 20, each of the second secondary body parts 30, each of the third secondary body parts 40, and the fourth secondary body part 50) are separated from the main body part 10. It can be changed as appropriate between a protruding first form (see Fig. 1) and a second form (see Fig. 2) in which the secondary body part is more recessed than the first form, and from this it becomes an imitation target (turtle). It is possible to make a corresponding change in form and provide the player with interest due to the change in form.

The first sub-body element 31' consisting of -2 is replaced with a second sub-body part 30', and a spherical recess 31e larger than a hemisphere is formed on the oblique concave curved surface 31d on the front side of the first part 31-1. and the second part 3
A spherical connecting portion 31g provided on the rear slope 31f of 1-2 can be rotated into the recessed portion 31e,
Preferably removably connected points (see Figure 7(B))
- The above-mentioned third sub-body part 40, its first sub-body element 41, the first part 41-1 and the second part 41
The first sub-body element 41' consisting of -2 is changed to the third sub-body part 40', and a spherical recess larger than a hemisphere is formed on the diagonally concave curved surface 41d on the rear side of the first part 41-1. 41e, and the second portion 4
A spherical connecting portion 41g provided on the front slope 41f of 1-2 can be rotated into the recessed portion 41e,
Preferably removably connected points (see Figure 7(C))
The structure is different from the first sub-body part 20, each second sub-body part 30, and each third sub-body part 40 described above.

According to this first sub-body part 20', the direction of the second sub-body element 22 can be arbitrarily changed by rotating the second sub-body element 22 with respect to the first sub-body element 21 in the first form (see FIG. 1). . Moreover, according to the second sub-body part 30', in the first form (see FIG. 1), the first part 31-2 is rotated with respect to the first part 31-1 of the first sub-body element 31'. Its direction can be changed arbitrarily. Furthermore, according to the third sub-body part 40', the first part 41-2 is rotated with respect to the first part 41-1 of the first sub-body element 41' in the first form (see FIG. 1). Its direction can be changed arbitrarily.

That is, the first sub-body part 20', each second sub-body part 30', and each third sub-body part 40' are different from the first sub-body part 20, each second sub-body part 30, In addition, since the degree of freedom in changing the form is higher than that of each of the third sub-body parts 40, the first form (see FIG. 1) in particular can be made to more closely resemble the imitation target (turtle).

In addition, when each second sub-body part 30' and each third sub-body part 40' are used, an aspect as shown in FIG. 8 is used as a second form, that is, each second sub-body part 30' The second part 31-2 and the second sub-body element 32 of the first sub-body element 31', and the second part 41-2 and the second sub-body element 41 of the first sub-body element 41 of each third sub-body part 40'. It is also possible to arrange that the sub body element 42 is located at the step.

That is, in each second sub-body part 30', the end of the second sub-body element 32 protrudes from the outer surface of the second main body element 12 (see FIG. 2), and The mode in which the second portion 31-2 of the body element 31' and the second sub-body element 32 protrude from the outer surface of the second main body element 12 (see FIG. 8) can be arbitrarily selected. In the sub-body part 40', the end of the second sub-body element 42 protrudes from the outer surface of the second main element 12 (see FIG. 2), and the first sub-body element 41' Since the manner in which the second portion 41-2 and the second sub-element 42 protrude from the outer surface of the second main element 12 (see FIG. 8) can be arbitrarily selected, variations in the second form can be increased. In this respect, it is possible to provide even more interest to the player.
