The connecting part 33 has a connector 38b having the same structure as the connector 11b on the surface of the fixing plate 38a, which has the same size as the fixing plate 11a of the connecting part 11 of the first assembly A. It is movable to the right side in the figure.

The block 40 has approximately the same height as the chest 8 of the first assembly, and a hinge 43 corresponding to the hinge 39 of the fixing plate 38a is protruded from the upper back corner, and the block 40 is fitted using the elasticity of this hinge. They are rotatably connected around an axis parallel to the lower edge of the fixed plate 38a and the upper edge of the block by fitting them together or passing pins through hinges 39 and 43 formed into tubular shapes. A wireless radio is built into the block 40, and a portion of a tuning or volume dial 44 protrudes to the outside. Although not visible in FIG. 7, a hole for inserting the earphone plug is provided on the bottom surface of this block.

The universal joint 41 consists of a box-shaped rotating member 41a that is open on one side and a lower surface, and a rod-shaped link 41b. A disc-shaped stopper 45a is inserted into a groove opened on the side surface of the bearing 46 and is provided at the tip of the shaft 45.
is rotatably fitted into the hole 46a of the bearing, one end of the link 41b is fitted into the rotating member, and the link 41b is rotatably rotated around the pin by a pin 47 passed through the connecting member and the link. Further, the upper end of the leg 42 is rotatably connected to the other end of the link by a pin 48 about the pin.

The leg portion 42 includes an upper leg portion 42a coupled to the link 41b, a lower leg portion 42b into which the upper leg portion is fitted in a telescopic manner, and a foot portion rotatably coupled to the lower surface of the lower leg portion. 42c, the upper thigh part 42a has a rectangular tube shape, and is open at the upper part and to the opposite sides, and the other end of the link 41b of the universal joint is fitted inside the upper part. and a pin 48 is pivotally attached to the upper leg. Thereby, the upper leg can rotate between positions that are perpendicularly above and perpendicularly below the link 41b.

The lower leg portion 42b is formed in the shape of a rectangular tube with a bottom, the hollow portion is open at the upper surface and the upper portion of one side, and the upper surface opening edge 49 is made to protrude inwardly.
The upper leg can be pulled out from the lower leg by a predetermined amount by locking a protrusion 50 protruding from the outer surface of the lower part of the upper leg. Since the lower leg is also opened on the side, when the upper leg is stored in the lower leg at right angles to the link 41b as shown in FIG. Since it fits into the side opening, the upper leg can be stored until the upper surface of the upper leg matches the upper surface of the lower leg. The foot portion 42a has a heel portion 52 rotatably supported by a pin 51, and a shaft 53 protruding from the upper surface of the heel portion is connected to the lower leg portion 42b.

By passing through the headphone and fixing it to the lower end thereof, the headphone looks like another sound device of a headphone, as shown on the left side of FIG.

While the first and second assemblies A, B are in use in the folded condition as shown in FIG.
In the first assembly A, as shown in FIGS. 4 and 6, the arm portion 9 is tightly fitted into the chest 8, so it is held like a block, and the arm portion etc. can unfold and extend on its own. Also, the second assembly B
In this case, the back surface of the upper leg portion 42a of the leg portion 42 is fixed in close contact with the front surface of the fixed plate 38a, so it is impossible to rotate the leg portion in the front direction, and the lower leg portion 42a of the leg portion 42 is Since the side surface of the portion 42b is in close contact with the side surface of the block 40, it will not swing freely.

Furthermore, since almost the entire length of the connecting member C has the same polygonal cross-sectional shape as the holes of the connectors 11b and 38b of the connecting members of both assemblies, the assembly is not attached to the connecting member. Maintain a constant orientation without unnecessary rotation.

Deployment transformation part 1 With the above configuration, the first assembly and the second assembly, which have the first shape of the headphone in the folded state as shown in FIG. 1, can be unfolded and change their shape as follows. can.

That is, when the first assembly A is moved along the right bow part 1 of the connecting member C and the connector 11b of the coupling member 11 is made to match the circular cross-sectional shape of the bow part, the first assembly A moves along the right bow part 1 of the connecting member C. Place assembly A around its arch.
Rotate 180 degrees. This allows the first assembly and the second
The assemblies are located on opposite sides of the connecting member C, front and rear.

Then, the first assembly A is further moved along the connecting member to the straight section 3. The second assembly B also moves along the connecting member to the straight section 3 without changing direction.

As a result, as shown in FIG.
8b are adjacent to each other on a straight line, and fixed plates 11a and 3
8a are on opposite sides.

Next, for the first assembly A, after raising the blade 12 from the recess 29, the arm 9 is pulled out from the chest 8 in the direction of arrow AR ₁ in FIG. 9, and the hand member 20 is pulled out from the arm. The chest 8 is rotated 90 degrees in the direction of arrow AR ₂ in FIG. 9 around the axis of the hinge pin 29.

On the other hand, regarding the second assembly B, first, the leg portion 4 is
2 lower leg 42b in FIG.
7 as the center, rotate outward as shown by arrow AR ₃ in the figure until it becomes almost horizontal, pull the lower leg (arrow AR ₄ ) to extend the leg, and connect the upper leg to the fixing plate 38.
After creating a space between the block 40 and the block 40, the leg 42 is rotated 180 degrees around the axis 45 of the universal joint (arrow AR ₅ ) so that the front of the leg is in the same direction as the front of the block 40. . At this time, the coupling member 41 of the universal joint
Since a is open downward in FIG. 9, its legs are rotated 90 degrees below the block 40 in FIG. 9 around the axis of the pin 47 to align both legs in the extended state. Then, the half-opened blade 12
After fully opening, move block 40 to hinge 3.
9 and 43, the legs 42 are tilted 90 degrees toward the connectors 11b and 38b, and the leg portions 42 are also rotated 90 degrees in the same direction about the shaft 45. A protrusion 55 protruding from the connecting plate 11a is tightly inserted into a small hole 54 provided on the back of the block 40.
The back side of the chest 8 is held in contact with the front side of the chest 8. Furthermore, when the head 10 is removed from the chest 8, the two assemblies have a second configuration, a robot profile, as shown in FIG.

In addition, when the left and right arch parts 1 and 2 of the connecting member are folded upward, the earphones 6, which are attached to the tips,
7 faces the front, so you can generate and hear sounds from here. Additionally, this earphone has a decorative effect on the robot's form.

Deployment Variation 2 The above robot form can be further developed into a second aspect. That is, for the first assembly A, the head 10 in the state shown in FIG.
and the arm part 9 is housed in the chest 8 by the operation opposite to that described above, and for the second assembly B, when the lower leg part 42b of the leg part 37 is pushed in the direction of the fixing plate 38a, the lower leg part The hollow part not only accommodates the upper leg part 42a, but also the link 41 of the universal joint.
(b) Even the rotating member 41a and the bearing 46 are tightly fitted and hidden (see FIG. 10), and the edge of the opening in the lower leg abuts the lower surface of the fixed plate 38a.
Therefore, both the left and right legs are fixed to the fixing plate. Further, in this deployment mode, the foot portion 42c is rotated about the pin 51 so that its tip is directed in the direction of extension of the leg portion. As shown on the left side of FIG. 7, the lower leg portion 42b of the leg is provided with a slit 56 that penetrates the hollow inside, and a small blade 57 is provided inside the slit 56 so as to be freely put in and taken out. Claw 5
You can make this feather come out by hooking a person's nail onto 8. In this way, when the blades 57 are taken out, the external shape of an airplane as shown in FIG. 3 as a third configuration is provided.

In addition, the left and right bow parts 1 and 2 of the connecting member can be bent to opposite sides at the hinge to extend the upper side of the airplane rearward, and by doing so,
The appearance can be made to look like an airplane accessory, and the decorativeness can be improved.

In addition, in the above embodiment, the transformation of the three states is not necessarily sequential, and as mentioned above, changes such as from a headphone to a robot or vice versa, from a headphone to an airplane or vice versa, from an airplane to a robot or vice versa are possible. It is.

Further, in the above embodiment, since the headphone is in the form of a headphone in the folded state, a bow-shaped connecting member C is used; It can be of any shape.

[Effects of the Invention] As described above, according to the present invention, a toy with the same configuration can be enjoyed by being changed into three forms by folding and developing two forms, which is different from conventional toys. In contrast, it is much more variable and allows you to further expand your knowledge of the mechanism.

That is, when each assembly is folded and separated and connected to both ends of the connecting member, it becomes a headphone in the first form, and when each assembly is assembled in the first form and unfolded, it becomes a second form. When the toy is developed into the second form, it becomes an airplane, which is the third form, and a toy with the same configuration can be transformed into three forms.
