(b) A ratchet gear is provided coaxially with the rotating shaft of the rotary plate, and a feed piece capable of pressing the ratchet gear in the feeding direction is provided on the body so as to be able to reciprocate, and one end of the feed piece is attached to the body. (c) The leg members are provided so that they can be rotated or folded in front of the body, and the tips of the leg members are positioned below the lighting window when folded. (c) The arm members are rotatably provided on both sides of the torso, and the head member constitutes a camera viewfinder at the upper part of the torso (Example) Hereinafter, modifications of the present invention will be described. Explain about toys.

1 to 4 are explanatory diagrams of the configuration of an embodiment of the present invention, and in particular, FIGS. 1 and 2 are explanatory diagrams of the configuration of the main parts of the present invention.

The shape-changing toy 1 is configured to be able to change its shape into two shapes: a camera shape as shown in FIG. 2a, and a robot shape as shown in FIG. 4 and the like. This shape-changing toy 1 includes a body part 2, a head member 25 integrated on the shoulders of the upper part of the body part 2, and a pair of arm members 30 rotatably supported on both sides of the body part 2. , and a pair of leg members 40 rotatably or bendably supported at the lower part of the trunk 2.

The body part 2 has a main body 3 with a window 4 for daylighting on the rear wall and an open front part, a lid body 5 which is detachably attached to the opening of the main body 3 and has a viewing window 6, and a rear part of the main body 3. A rotary plate 7 having a rotary shaft 7a rotatably supported by the inner wall of the wall and integrally having a ratchet gear 8 on the same axis, and a rotary plate 7 punched at predetermined intervals in the circumferential direction on the plate surface of the rotary plate 7. The formed slide film mounting windows 9, the slide films (for example, slide slide films) 10 that are adhesively fixed to the peripheral edge of each mounting window 9, and the ratchet gear 8 of the rotary plate 7 that is fixed on the inner wall surface of the lid 5. A detent member 11 that elastically engages with the gear portion to prevent the rotating plate from returning; and a shutter-shaped operating pin 16 that is supported in a support hole formed on the shoulder portion of the main body 2 so as to be able to protrude and enter. Feed piece 1 integrated into the inner end of
7 and the sending piece 17 in the return direction (upward in Figure 1)
It consists of an elastic body 18 that always urges.

Reference numerals 19 and 20 indicate screw holes (hollow cylindrical shapes) formed in the walls of the main body 3 and the lid 5, respectively. , 20 are positioned so that they communicate with each other and are screwed together (for convenience, the holes 19 and 20 are not shown in FIG. 2b). Further, on the outer surface of the rear wall of the main body 3, a cylindrical part 12 in the shape of a camera lens and a lens protection part is formed. When the lid 5 is attached to the main body 3, the viewing window 6 of the lid and the lighting window 4 of the main body are located in corresponding positions, and the sliding film of the rotary plate 7 is attached between both windows 6 and 4. The slide film mounting windows 9, 9, 9, . . . are arranged on the circumference so that the movement locus of the window 9 is located.

Next, when the operation pin 16 is pushed inside against the pressing force of the elastic body 18, the feed piece 17 is displaced downward together with the operation pin 16, and its tip presses the gear portion of the ratchet gear 8. The rotary plate 7 is configured to rotate in the feeding direction (direction of arrow A). In this embodiment, the operating pin 16 and the feed piece 17 are integrally constructed and configured to perform linear reciprocating motion, but they may also be rotatably connected to cause the feed piece to rotate. good. The angle at which the rotating plate 7 rotates when the operating pin 16 is pushed in once is determined by the angle at which the rotating plate 7 rotates when the operating pin 16 is pushed in once.
Set it so that it is equal to the spacing between the two.

The detent member 11 engages with the gear portion of the ratchet gear at its tip to prevent the rotary plate from returning, and also prevents the rotation of the ratchet gear from interfering with the rotation of the rotary plate in the feeding direction (the gear thread of the gear portion is ), metal,
It is made of an elastically deformable material such as plastic. Further, the shape may be appropriately selected such as a narrow band shape or a needle shape. However, instead of the detent member 11, a suitable resistance member (not shown) may be brought into contact with the rotating plate or the rotating shaft so that the rotating plate can rotate with moderation.

The head member 25 includes a hollow truncated pyramid-shaped frame 26 shaped like a viewfinder at the top of the camera, a lid body 27 that opens and closes an opening at the front of the frame 26, and a robot fixed inside the frame. It consists of a face 28. The entire head member 25 or only a portion thereof (for example, the face) may be configured to be movable.

Each arm member 30 is attached to both sides of the trunk 2 so as to be rotatable in the front and back direction.
As shown in the figure, when it is in the form of a camera, it becomes the sides of the camera, and when it is in the form of a robot, it becomes the arms.

Each leg member 40 is composed of a base 41 rotatably supported on the lower part of the body member 2 and a tip 42 rotatably supported on the base 41. 3 and the lid 5) are pivotally supported by a bearing portion 22 protruding from the center of the lower recess 21.
Further, the tip of each leg member 40 is connected to the trunk 2 during rotation.
It is provided so as to be located in front of the lighting window 4 and below the lighting window 4.

In the above configuration, when the camera is in the form of a camera shown in FIG. Positioned slide film 1
Since the image passes through 0 and reaches the eye, the image on the slide film 10 can be enjoyed. and,
If you want to see the next image, push the shutter (operating pin) 16 once, and the feed piece 17 will rotate the ratchet gear 8 by a predetermined angle in the feed direction, so that the next slide film 10 will be placed between the two windows. It moves between 6 and 4 and stops. At this time, the detent member 11 engages with one of the gear threads of the ratchet gear 8 and prevents the slide film 10 from swinging in the return direction.
This prevents you from moving backwards or rotating forward without permission. In addition, the operation pin 16 and the feed piece 17
If the pressing force on the operating pin 16 is released,
The force of the elastic body 18 naturally returns it to its original position (upward).
Return to.

Next, when it is desired to change the form from the camera form to the robot form, the leg members 40 are changed from the stowed state as shown in FIG. 3 to the expanded state as shown in FIG. 4, and the arm members 30 are You can turn the barrel back and forth accordingly.

In the illustrated embodiment, the description has been given mainly of the change in form from a camera to a robot, but the present invention can also be applied to devices other than cameras that have a viewing window, such as toys such as video cameras.

(Effects of the Invention) As described above, according to the shape-changing toy of the present invention, when the user looks through the viewing window, he or she can enjoy the image on the slide film due to the light incident through the lighting window. Then, by operating the feed piece and pressing the ratchet gear in the sending direction, the slide film can be rotated together with the rotary plate, and images on the slide film can be viewed one after another through the viewing window.

Also, when changing from the camera state to the robot form, the leg members are rotated or deployed downward from the front of the torso, and the arm members are rotated on both sides of the torso. The torso constitutes the body of the robot, the head member of the finder constitutes the head of the robot, and the shape of the robot as a whole can be changed into the shape of a robot.

When the leg members and arm members are rotated or folded in the opposite direction, the shape changes to the shape of a camera. By the way, in this case, when the leg member is rotated or bent, the tip of the leg member is positioned under the window for daylighting, and the window for daylighting is not obstructed by the leg member, so the slide film is not blocked. You can enjoy the images.
