Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] (Field of Industrial Application) The present invention allows a robot toy stored in a folded state on a base to be raised up and jumped onto the base with a single touch. Concerning a simple jumping robot toy.

(Objective of the Invention) An object of the present invention is to provide a jumping robot toy that can be changed from a stored state to an upright state by a simple operation.

(Means for Achieving the Object) In order to achieve the above object, the jumping robot toy according to the present invention is characterized by comprising the following constituent elements.

(a) The robot legs are rotatably connected to the base, and the legs are always urged in the rising direction.

(b) Other robot components are foldably connected to the legs, and these components are always urged in the deployment direction.

(c) A storage part for storing the robot component folded against the biasing force in the rising direction is releasably locked to the base, and the robot component stored in the folded state is releasably locked. Forming a locking part.

(Operations and Effects of the Invention) As described above, according to the present invention, the robot toy is stored in the storage section of the base in a folded state. At this time, the robot component is held in the folded state by the locking portion. In this state, the base and the robot components are formed into a substantially integral block shape, so that, for example, a band can be attached to the base to form it into a wristwatch shape, and the watch can be carried around and played with at times. Next, when the locking part is operated to release the locking state between the robot component and the base, the robot legs are always urged in the rising direction with respect to the base, so the robot legs rise, At the same time, the other robot components also unfold in conjunction with the above unlocking, so the robot jumps out onto the base. Therefore, a very interesting toy full of surprises can be obtained.

(Example) Hereinafter, the jumping robot toy of the present invention will be described in detail.

Figure 1 a, b, Figure 2 a, b, c, Figure 3 a,
b, FIGS. 4a and 4b show a first embodiment of the present invention, and this jumping robot toy includes a base 1 and a robot toy 20 rotatably supported on the base 1.
It is composed of.

As shown in FIGS. 2 a, b, c to 4 a, b, the base 1 has upwardly protruding parts 3 and 4 at the front and rear ends, and stores a robot toy 20 in the center. It consists of a base body 1 having a storage section 5, and a locking section 6 rotatably supported by a front projection section 3.

The locking portion 6 includes a locking groove 3a formed in the protruding portion 3 of the base 1, and a locking portion formed at the base end of a locking lid 6b supported by a rotation shaft 6a penetrating the protruding portion 3. The locking lid 6b includes a locking protrusion 6c, and a locking/unlocking push piece 6d. Also,
An opening 7 is formed near the center of the storage section 5, and a leg 21 of the robot toy 20 is rotatably supported by a shaft 8 extending through the opening 7, and is inserted through the shaft 8. The leg portion 21 is always elastically biased in the rising direction by the coil spring 22.

The robot toy 20 includes a leg section 21, a thigh section 24 that is foldably and rotatably connected to the leg section 21 by a pin 23, a torso section 25 that is integrated above the thigh section 24, and a torso section. It consists of an arm part 26 rotatably supported by a part 25 and a head part 27. Legs 21 and thighs 2
A coil spring 28 that biases a portion above the thigh 24 in the deployment direction is also inserted through the pin 23 at the joint (joint) with the thigh 24 . A recess 21a is formed in the back surface of the leg 21, and the dimensions of the recess 21a are set so that the leg 21 in a folded state can be accommodated in the recess 21a. In addition, the leg portion 21 and the body portion 2
The thickness of the protrusions 3 and 4 is set to be approximately equal to the height of each of the protrusions 3 and 4.

In the above configuration, when storing the robot toy 20 in the upright state as shown in FIG. 21 forward, and attach the coil spring 2 to the upper part of the thigh 24.
8, fold it backwards, and finally press the locking part 6.
The locking lid 6b is placed over the leg portion 21 and the thigh portion 24, and the locking lid 6 is inserted into the locking groove 3a formed in the protruding portion 3.
What is necessary is to lock the locking protrusion 6c formed at the base end of b.

Next, when raising the robot toy 20 in the stored state as shown in FIG. Therefore, the leg portion 21 and the thigh portion 24 are raised by the coil springs 22 and 28 and pushed up in the deployment direction.

Next, FIGS. 5a and 5b show a second embodiment of the present invention, in which the same parts as in the first embodiment are denoted by the same reference numerals and redundant explanation will be omitted. A locking piece 30 is formed protrudingly on the back surface of the robot toy 20, and a hole 31 into which the locking piece 30 fits when each joint of the robot toy 20 is bent and stored is formed on the base 1. The base 1 is pivotably supported on the base 1 so as to be rotatable in the horizontal direction.
A locking portion 32 extending from the outside to the inside of the hole 31
This embodiment differs from the first embodiment in that it has the following configuration. Reference numeral 35 indicates a lid member. Locking part 3
2 includes a rod-shaped rotating piece 33 that is rotatably supported on the base 1 by a pin 33a and always urged in the locking direction A by a spring 34. When no external force is applied, a part of it protrudes into the hole 31 as shown by the solid line in Figure 5B, but when it is rotated in the unlocking direction B against the spring 34 is withdrawn from the hole 31 as shown by the dotted line. Then, in order to put the robot toy 20 into the stored state, the body 2 of the robot is opened.
When folding the back side of 5 onto the base 1, use the locking piece 30.
The rotating piece 33 in the hole 31 is connected to the hook portion 30a at the tip.
While pressing in the locking release direction B, it climbs over this and becomes locked with the rotating piece 33 as shown by the solid line in FIG. 5C. By covering the lower body of the robot with the lid member 35, the robot is completely stored. In order to shift from the stored state to the raised state, it is sufficient to simply rotate the rotating piece 33 in the unlocking direction B. That is, when the rotating piece 33 is rotated in the unlocking direction, the rotating piece 33 located inside the hole 31
As the robot toy 20 is retracted, the locking state with the locking piece 30 is released, and the robot toy 20 can automatically rise and unfold by the elastic force of the coil spring at each joint.

FIGS. 6a, b, and c show a third embodiment of the present invention, in which the same parts as those in the second embodiment are designated by the same reference numerals and redundant explanation will be omitted. They are different. That is, the locking part 40 of this embodiment includes a rotating piece 41 rotatably supported on one side of the rear protrusion 4 of the base 1, and a rotating piece 41 that is rotatably supported on one side of the rear protrusion 4 of the base 1, and
It consists of a locked part (recess or protrusion) 42 formed on one shoulder of the body part 25, and locks the rotating piece 41 when the robot toy 20 is stored on the base 1. The robot toy 20 is held on the base 1 in a stored state by rotating it in the direction A and pushing the hook portion 43 at the lower end into the locked portion 42 and locking it therein. To release the locked state, it is sufficient to rotate it in the unlocking direction B.

FIG. 7 shows a fourth embodiment of the present invention, in which the base 1
The rotating table 50 is rotatably supported on the top, and the robot toy 2 is mounted on the protrusion 50a on the rotating table 50.
The recess 21a of the leg portion of 0 is configured to be detachable. The connection structure between the rotating table 50 and the base 1 is configured similarly to the connection structure between the base and the leg portion 21 in each of the above embodiments (including a structure using a spring).

In each of the above embodiments, each joint (the connection structure between the base and the legs in FIG. 7) is connected by a coil spring, but even if it is not a coil spring, various urging means such as a leaf spring can be used. etc. may also be used.
