are fitted into the front grooves 37, 37 formed in the left and right protrusions 35, 35 of the lower frame 22, and at the forward limit, the sliding frame 29 and the struts 28, 28 at the front ends of the support members 24, 24 The bearing part of the lower frame 22 and the bottom plate 33
Since the sliding frame 29 is placed on top of the bonnet 12, the sliding frame 29 accommodated in the bonnet 12 is placed on the bottom plate 3 of the lower frame 22.
3 becomes a hindrance and cannot be rotated relative to the supporting members 24, 24.

When it is desired to change the external shape of a toy car to that of a robot toy, first grasp the bonnet 12 and the rear part with separate hands and pull them in a direction to separate them.

Then, the protrusions 32, 32 on the front ends of the protrusions 31, 31 of the sliding frame 29 are inserted into the grooves 37, 37 on the front side of the lower frame 22,
37 and moves into the grooves 36, 36 on the rear side, the sliding frame 29 comes out of the lower frame 22 by a predetermined length to the rear. That is, the supporting members 24, 24
is retreated from the position shown by the chain line in FIG. 7A to the position shown by the solid line.

As a result, the bearing portions of the sliding frame 29 and the columns 28, 28 move rearward from the rear end of the bottom plate 33 of the lower frame 22, and the supporting members 24, 24 can slide without being obstructed by the bottom plate 33. It is now in a state where it can rotate relative to the moving frame 29 and the bonnet 12.

In this state, the sliding frame 29 together with the bonnet 12 is rotated approximately 90 degrees counterclockwise about the pin 30 with respect to the supporting members 24, 24. Then, omitted
When rotated 90 degrees, the lower surface of the lower frame 22 comes into contact with the front end surfaces of the projecting pieces 27, 27 of the supporting members 24, 24, and stops at that position.

In this rotation process, the arcuate portions 28a, 28a of the columns 28, 28 at the front ends of the support members 24, 24
comes into contact with the lower surface of the elevating plate 16 fixed to the lower end of the head 3 and pushes it up. Therefore, the head 3 projects upward from the through hole 15 of the bonnet 12 while being guided by the shaft 18 together with the elevating plate 16. In this state shown in FIG. 7B, the head 3 of the robot toy is exposed.

Next, the left and right loading platforms 43, 43 are changed from the state shown in FIG. 7A to the axles 10, 11, respectively, as shown in FIG. 7B.
Rotate clockwise around 0. Then,
After rotating approximately 90 degrees, the front ends of the auxiliary members 49, 49 fixed to the lower surfaces of the loading platforms 43, 43 come into contact with the lower ends of the shaft bearings 44, 44 and stop.

In this state, the backrest parts 52, 52 of the seats 50, 50 attached to the cargo platforms 43, 43 are rotated from the state shown in FIG. 7A in the direction in which they overlap the seat parts 51, 51, The front end of 51 is the shaft bearing part 44 of the rear end of the support members 24, 24,
44 in contact with the rear end.

In this way, when the front ends of the seat portions 51, 51 come into contact with the rear ends of the shaft bearings 44, 44 (FIG. 7C), the seat portions 51, 51 act as stoppers and the loading platforms 43, 43 are rotated approximately 90 degrees. It remains in a bent position and cannot be turned back.

In this state, if the toy car robot 1 is placed on the floor with the upper surfaces of the loading platforms 43, 43 facing downward, the toy car robot 1 will stand up and will not fall down unless external force is applied.

Next, by pinching the front wheels 5, 5 and pushing them toward the loading platforms 43, 43, respectively, the front wheel supporting members 6, 6 are rotated approximately 90 degrees counterclockwise from the state shown in FIG. 7B around their bases. If it is moved, the arms 4, 4 will be pushed outward as described above.

After that, attach the arms 4, 4 to the fenders 14, 14.
Rotate it from the bottom so that it is positioned diagonally below the bonnet 12.

Thus, the development into a robot toy form is completed.

Note that the front window 13 may be rotated at any time during the above-described deformation operation. In addition, the loading platform 43
A weapon 55 is detachably installed in a part of the arm, and through holes 4a, 4a are provided at the tips of the arms 4, 4.
The weapon 55 removed from the loading platform 43 may be attached using these through holes 4a, 4a.

On the other hand, if you want to change the robot toy form back to the car toy form, you can follow the procedure that is almost the reverse of the above procedure. However, before rotating the front wheel support members 6, 6 and returning the front wheels 5, 5 to their original positions, it is necessary to manually retract the arms 4, 4 to their original positions. The rest can be done in completely reverse order.

As explained above, the toy car robot according to the present invention is provided with a rotatable seat at the top of the front end of the toy car carrier, which becomes the legs of the toy robot when unfolded, and the seat is bent so that the toy car body is bent with respect to the car body. The toy car robot is configured as a stopper that can be held in the upright position, and can surely maintain the upright position without increasing the number of parts, so the structure is simple and the toy has high playability as a toy car robot toy.
