Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] This invention relates to a transformable toy, and aims to provide a toy that has a simple structure and can be transformed into an article toy having a different concept by simple operation.

In order to achieve the above object, this invention consists of a main body and a cover body that expandably covers all or part of the main body, and has completely different concepts before and after the cover body is deployed. It is designed so that it can be transformed into an article or toy.

Next, one embodiment of this invention will be described based on the drawings.

FIG. 1 conceptually shows an embodiment of this invention in an unfolded state, with the main body a
and a plurality of cover bodies b to d.
In this embodiment, the main body a is formed in the shape of a rectangular parallelepiped, and all other surfaces except the back and bottom surfaces can be expanded with cover bodies b to d via hinges _h1 to _h3 . It is made up of a cover.

In a more specific embodiment illustrated in the drawings below FIG. By inserting pins 3 protruding from both sides, the main body is rotatably supported around a horizontal axis. In addition, the side cover body c is the main body a.
By inserting pins 6, which are protruded from the top and bottom of the rear part of the side cover body, into the upper and lower protrusions 4, 5 which are protruded from the rear parts of both the left and right sides of the side cover body, the cover body is rotatably supported around a vertical axis. There is. Further, the front cover body d has frames 7 and 8 on the left and right sides, and by inserting pins 10 protruding from the front portions of both left and right sides of the main body into holes 9 provided at the lower ends of the frames. , is rotatably supported around a horizontal axis.

Grooves 11 are provided inside the frames 7 and 8 of the front cover body, and when the side cover body c is closed and comes into contact with both side surfaces of the body, when the front cover body d is closed, the grooves 11 are formed. At 11, the front edge of the side cover fits into the groove to prevent the side cover body from opening unnecessarily. Further, an engagement edge 12 is formed on the lower front part of the top cover body b, and when the front cover body d is closed and then the top cover body b is closed, the engagement edge engages the upper end edge 13 of the front cover body. Since they are engaged and pressed downward by their own weight, all the cover bodies are kept closed, as shown in FIG. 3, and the cover bodies are not opened or expanded against one's will.

On the other hand, on the top surface of the main body a, there are a sink 16 having a faucet 14 imitating a real thing and a recess 15 for storing water, a cooking table 17, and a gas range 18.
It is equipped with Further, the front side of the main body a includes a storage section 20 with a double door 19, a drawer section 21, and a gas oven 22.

On the other hand, the cover body b that covers the top surface of the main body a has an exterior decoration of a console-type stereo top plate on its outer surface, and has a record player 23 imitated in its center. The record player can be opened and closed using a lid 24. Further, the top cover body b has a shelf 25 on its back surface with a protrusion resembling the shape of tableware or an instantaneous water heater, similar to the appearance of a kitchen wall cupboard.

Further, both the front and back surfaces of the left and right side cover bodies c are smooth like the left and right sides of the main body, and the outer surfaces are colored in a color that harmonizes with the outer surface of the top cover body b. The inner surface is colored in the same uniform color as the outer surface of the main body a.

The last front cover body d has an inner surface colored in the same uniform color as the outer surface of the main body, the upper surface cover body, and the inner surface of the side cover body, and the outer surface has a console type stereo. It has the same appearance as the front, that is, the left and right sides have a pattern resembling the surface of a speaker, and the center has a shape and pattern resembling an amplifier, a radio, and a record rack, respectively.

With the above structure, the toy according to this invention closes all the cover bodies b to d, and as shown in FIG. , the back and bottom of the main body, and the outer surface of each cover body are visible outwardly, giving the toy the appearance of a console-type stereo. Since the top cover body b has a lid 24 on its outer surface that can be opened and closed, when the lid is opened, as shown in FIG. 4, it gives the impression that a record is being played. can be given.

Also, if you first open the top cover body b, then the front cover body d and the side cover body c in this order from the non-deployed state of FIG. 3, each cover will open as shown in FIG. At the same time, the shape and pattern of the inner surface of the body that was covered by the cover body appears, and the shape and pattern of the back surface of each cover body appear, and the product of a specific concept expressed by those shapes and patterns, that is, the implementation of the illustration. In this example, it is transformed into a kitchen set that includes a sink, a cooking table, a gas range, a storage section, a drawer section, a gas oven, etc., and is equipped with a shelf in the front. Side cover body c and front cover body are d
When in the unfolded state, they have an appearance resembling a wall and a floor, respectively, making the image of a kitchen created by the main body a and the top cover body b even clearer.

Note that the arc-shaped plate 26 provided at the lower part of the side cover body is for strengthening the sense of unity with the main body of the wall that the side cover body expresses when the side cover body is unfolded.

Then, as illustrated in FIG.
By providing opening/closing members such as the door of 2,
It is possible to transform the form (shape and structure) of the main body a into a more realistic one or a different one.

In the above embodiment, the same toy is transformed from a stereo to a kitchen set, or vice versa, but this invention can be used in a non-deployed state and a deployed state, as in the above example. It can be realized as a variety of toys with shapes and patterns representing different product concepts.

As described above, according to this invention, the main body and the cover body coupled to the main body via a hinge can be configured to have different functions before and after unfolding, with a simple configuration and simple operation. You can play with it by changing it into the shape of an article based on the concept of tsuta.
