Description

[Detailed description of the invention] (Field of industrial application) The present invention relates to the improvement of robot toys.

(Prior Art) Robotic toys having various shapes are well known, one example of which is shown in FIG. That is, the robot toy 1 has a chest 20 to which the head 10 is attached,
An arm portion 30 attached to the side of the chest 20;
Leg section 5 attached to chest 20 via waist section 40
0.

In the robot toy 1 configured as described above, it is desirable that the waist portion 40 rotate or swing relative to the chest 20 in order to enjoy changing the shape and improve game playability. That is, a first rotation direction in which the waist portion 40 rotates with respect to the vertical axis of the chest 20, a second rotation direction in which the waist portion 40 rotates in a direction horizontal to the vertical direction, and a second rotation direction of the roller. It is desirable to rotate in three directions, with a third rotation direction rotating in a direction perpendicular to the direction of movement.

(Purpose of the invention) The present invention was made in view of the above circumstances, and its purpose is to provide a robot toy that has a simple structure and can freely rotate its waist relative to its chest in the three directions mentioned above. There is a particular thing.

(Means for Achieving the Object) In order to achieve the above object, the robot toy according to the present invention is characterized by having the following requirements, in which the chest and the waist are connected via an auxiliary member.

(a) The auxiliary member shall consist of a vertical member and a horizontal member having an opening in the center that fits with the vertical member with play.

(b) A first horizontal shaft projects horizontally from both left and right sides of the lower part of the vertical member, and the horizontal member is rotatably supported by the first horizontal shaft.

(c) The horizontal member has a second horizontal axis that is perpendicular to the first horizontal axis and projects in the front-rear direction.

(d) The horizontal member is housed in the waist member, and the second horizontal shaft is fitted into bearings provided on the front and rear inner walls of the waist member.

(e) The vertical member is housed within the chest member, and the chest member is connected to the upper end of the vertical member so as to be rotatable in the horizontal direction.

(Example) An embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail below.

In FIG. 2, the head 10 is fitted into openings 21 formed above each of two divided chest members 20a and 20b. Chest material 20a, 20
Grooved openings 2 formed on each side of b
An arm portion 30 is rotatably fitted into the arms 2 and 22 via attachment members 23 and 23.

Projections 24, 24 are formed on the lower surfaces of the chest members 20a, 20b, respectively.
Two divided bearing holes 25, 25 are formed approximately at the center of the approximately rectangular shape formed by.

On the other hand, leg parts 50, 50 are attached to the lower part of the waist member 40 via attachment members 41, which will be described later. Note that 42 is a decorative member for shaping the waist member 40.

Next, the chest member 20 and the waist member 40 are connected via an auxiliary member 60 shown in detail in FIGS. 3 and 4. That is, the auxiliary member 60 has two
A vertical member 63 is sandwiched between a horizontal member 64 consisting of a divided upper plate portion 61 and a lower plate portion 62.

The vertical member 63 is provided with a protruding support shaft 63a having a retaining portion 65 at its upper end.
3a is formed to be able to fit into a bearing hole 25 shown in FIG.

Furthermore, first horizontal shafts 63b are provided protruding from both left and right sides of the lower portion of the vertical member 63. This first horizontal shaft 63b has a cylindrical bearing member 63c.
is inserted.

Furthermore, a recess 61a is formed below the upper plate portion 61 of the horizontal member 64, with which the upper half of the outer periphery of the bearing member 63c can come into contact. A second horizontal shaft 61b is provided to protrude in the front-rear direction of the upper plate portion 61, that is, in a direction orthogonal to the first horizontal shaft 63b. This second horizontal shaft 61b can be attached to the waist member 40 via a bearing member 74 shown in FIG.

An opening 63d is formed in the center of the upper plate part 61 so that the vertical member 63 can pass therethrough and is fitted into the vertical member 63 with some play.

On the other hand, the above-mentioned shaft bearing member 63 is provided on the upper surface of the lower plate portion 62.
A recess 62a that can be brought into contact with the lower half circumferential surface of the outer circumferential portion of c is formed.

Further, a recess 62b is formed on the upper surface of the lower plate portion 62 and is brought into contact with the second horizontal shaft 61b.

Furthermore, an opening 62c is formed in the center of the lower plate part 62 and fits into the lower part of the vertical member 63 with some play.

To assemble the robot toy configured as described above, first, the first horizontal shaft 63b of the vertical member 63 is assembled.
The shaft bearing member 63c is inserted into the shaft bearing member 63c, and in this state, it is inserted between the recess 61a of the upper plate portion 61 and the recess 62a of the lower plate portion 62 and connected, so that the horizontal member 64 can be freely rotated around the first horizontal shaft 63b. be pivoted on. The axis of the first horizontal shaft 63b in this state is indicated by the symbol p in FIG. Then, the foot part 50 is attached inside the waist member 40, the horizontal member 64 of the auxiliary member 60 is housed inside the waist member 40, and the bearing member 74 of the second horizontal shaft 61b is installed on the front and rear inner walls of the waist member 40. Fit into the bearing part 41.

On the other hand, the auxiliary member 60 attached to the waist member 40
The support shaft 63a provided above the chest member 2
0 and is inserted into the bearing hole 25, and the chest member 2
0 can be rotated horizontally.

In this way, by connecting the chest member 20 and the waist member 40 via the auxiliary member 60 configured as described above, the chest member 20 can freely rotate in the horizontal direction centering on the vertical member 63, and the horizontal member 64 1st of
It can pivot in the front-rear direction about the horizontal axis 63b, and can also swing in the left-right direction about the second horizontal axis 61b.

(Effects of the invention) As explained in detail above, according to the robot toy according to the invention, the chest member is connected to the upper end of the vertical member so as to be rotatable in the horizontal direction; Since it can be rotated in the front-rear direction about the first horizontal axis, the chest member can also be rotated in the same direction. Furthermore, since the horizontal member can swing left and right about the second horizontal axis, the chest member can also swing in the same direction. Therefore, the relative movements between the chest member and the waist member become more diverse, allowing the user to enjoy more interesting movements. Furthermore, when the above-mentioned auxiliary member is formed in the same manner as the universal joint, a pedestal must be formed on at least one of the chest member or the waist member, and the auxiliary member must be fixed to the pedestal. In this case, it is sufficient to form a bearing part for the second horizontal shaft on the front and rear inner walls of the waist member, and to fit the second horizontal shaft directly into the bearing part, which simplifies processing and assembly of the waist member. Work is easy.
