Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] (Industrial Application Field) This invention relates to a leg structure in a shape-changing toy that changes form from a robot to another form or from another form to a robot.

(Prior Art) Generally, in a shape-changing toy that changes from a robot to another shape such as a car or vice versa, a part of the leg in the robot shape is configured to be able to be inserted into and removed from the body, and when the shape changes, the toy simply changes the shape of the leg. In many cases, a part of the body is inserted into the body to accommodate changes to other forms. The same applies when changing from a certain form to a robot, and the leg members are extracted and configured as robot legs. However, since the movement range of the legs is small when the legs are simply inserted and removed in this way, there is little surprise in changing the shape.

(Technical problem of the invention) The technical problem of this invention is to propose a leg structure for a shape-changing toy that can solve the above problems and, in particular, increase the unexpectedness of shape changes of robot legs. do.

(Means for Solving the Problems) The leg structure of the shape-changing toy that transforms into a robot according to this invention is characterized by being configured as follows.

(a) The leg members constituting the leg portion are composed of a pair of left and right first leg members and a pair of second leg members provided on the outside of each first leg member in an overlapping manner.

(b) A sliding groove is formed continuous along the longitudinal direction from the outer surface of the first leg member to the lower end thereof, and a connecting block is slidably provided in the sliding groove,
Further, the second leg member is rotatably connected to the connecting block.

(c) The inner surface of each of the second leg members is provided with a recess and a convex part, and the recess and the convex part of one of the second leg members are respectively the convex part and the convex part of the other second leg member. It should be provided at a position corresponding to the concave portion, and the concave portion and the convex portion should be formed in a size that allows them to fit into each other.

(d) The convex portion of the second member is formed in a size that also fits into the sliding groove.

(Operations and effects of the invention) As described above, the leg members constituting the legs of the robot include a pair of left and right first leg members and a pair of overlapping members provided on the outside of each first leg member. and a second leg member, and when the second leg member changes to another form, the sliding groove is extended on the extension of the first leg member by sliding the connecting block. be able to. As a result, the legs extend approximately twice as long as a whole, so the range of movement during the shape change is wide, and unexpectedness can be improved.

Further, when changing the second leg member to be on an extension of the first leg member in this way, the concave portion and the convex portion formed so as to correspond to the inside of the second leg member facing left and right. By fitting the parts together,
Since the left and right second leg members are joined together and do not come apart, the changed shape can be well maintained.
Further, since the convex portion can be fitted into the sliding groove when the second leg member is arranged in an overlapping manner on the outer surface of the first member, the state of the leg can be well maintained. .

(Example) Hereinafter, an example of this invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

In the figure, numeral 1 indicates a shape-changing toy. This form-changing toy 1 can be changed from the robot form shown in Fig. 4 to the traveling toy form shown in Fig. 5, and further to the helicopter form shown in Fig. 6.

The chest 3 is rotatably provided at the front end of the body part 2 via a hinge 6, and is formed to accommodate the robot head 7 formed at the upper end of the body part 2 when it is rotated upward. .

The leg portion 4 has a front half portion that is connected to a pair of first leg members 8, 8 that are slidably inserted into and removed from the lower housing portion 2a of the body portion 2, and is continuous from the outer surface of each first leg member 8 to the rear surface. A second leg member 9 is pivotally supported by a connecting block 11 that is slidably provided in a sliding groove 10. Support shafts 11a and 11b are formed on both sides of the connecting block 11, the support shaft 11a is fitted into a guide groove 10a formed on the opposite wall of the sliding groove 10, and the support shaft 11b is fitted into the tip of the second leg member 9. is supported in the bearing hole 9a. Note that the sliding guide (not shown) for the first leg member 8 in the housing part 2a of the body part 2 is inserted into the first leg member 8 when the upper half part 8a of the first leg member 8 is inserted into the vehicle body part 2. The lower half portions 8b of one leg member 8 are integrally formed with their inner surfaces abutting each other, and are separated from each other when the upper half portion 8a is extracted. And two second leg members 9
As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2a, recesses 12 and 13 and projections 14 and 15 are formed on each inner surface of the holder, and these recesses and recesses are provided at positions where they fit together when facing each other. There is. Also, Figure 2b
As shown in FIG.
It is formed so as to fit into the sliding groove 10 of the leg member 8. Therefore, when the second leg member 9 is arranged outside the first leg member 8 in an overlapping manner as shown in the figure, the connecting block 11 and the convex portion 15 prevent the second leg member 9 from moving. Retained.

Next, a bearing hole 16 (see FIGS. 5 and 6) is formed in the center of the back of the body portion 2, and a recess 17 for housing the arm portion 21 is formed in the front surface. On the other hand, in the holes 5a of the upper and lower inner walls of the front wheel holding part 5 constituting the body side of the body part 2, the shaft 2 of a U-shaped connecting member 19 is provided with an elastic front wheel 18 approximately in the middle.
0 is rotatably supported. The arm part 21 is formed by foldably connecting an upper arm part 22 and a lower arm part 23 via a connecting piece 24, and when folded, the upper arm part 2
2 and the lower arm portion 23 are formed so that they can be stored in the recess 17 in an overlapping manner. In addition, the upper arm portion 22
are the first blocks 2 which are rotatably provided with respect to each other.
2a and a second block 22b. An upper arm portion 2 forming the base of the arm portion 21
The second first block 22a is supported by a shaft 25 on the side of the connecting member 19 opposite to the front wheel 18.

As a result, when the upper arm part 22 and the lower arm part 23 are folded and the connecting member 19 is reversed inward as shown by arrow A in FIG. 17, and the front wheel 18
moves outward.

The sword 25 is formed by folding two blade pieces 25a, 25a, which are stacked on top of each other, and can be used as a helicopter blade member by spreading the blade pieces 25a, 25a apart. It is also designed to be used.

Since the shape-changing toy 1 is constructed as described above, in order to change from the robot state shown in FIG. 4 to the traveling toy state shown in FIG. 5, the chest 3 must be rotated upward to hide the robot head 7. , by folding the arm portion 21 and reversing the connecting member 19 of the front wheel holding portion 5.
1 is stored in the recess 17, and the front wheel 18 is placed in the body part 2.
put it outside. Further, in the leg portion 4, the upper half portion 8a of the first leg member 8 of the leg portion 4 is inserted into the accommodating portion 2a of the body portion 2. With this, the torso section 2, the chest section 3, and the leg sections 4
constitute an integrated vehicle body, and the front wheels 18 and the rear wheels 1
9 can be changed into a running toy form that is capable of running.

Next, when changing from the robot form to the helicopter form shown in FIG.
Fold. Then, the connecting block 11 of the second leg member 9 is slid along the sliding groove 10 so as to extend with the first leg member 8, and the inner surfaces of the first and second members 8 and 9 facing each other are Then, the corresponding recesses 12 and protrusions 15 and the corresponding recesses 13 and protrusions 14 are fitted. Thereby, the left and right first and second leg members 8, 8 and 9, 9 are integrally connected and do not come apart, so that the shape can be well maintained. In this way, the body part 2 hides the front wheel 18 and the legs 4 are formed in an elongated shape, so that it is configured as a helicopter body, and the sword 25 is opened like a wing and its central axis 26 is aligned with the body part 2. By inserting it into the bearing hole 16, it can be changed into a helicopter configuration.

It is of course possible to change the form from a helicopter or a traveling toy to a robot by moving each of the above-mentioned constituent members in the opposite direction to that described above.
