Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] (Industrial Application Field) The present invention relates to a rotating and folding mechanism that rotatably and foldably connects one member to another in a shape-changing toy.

(Prior art) This type of conventional shape-changing toy has a mechanism for moving a plurality of movable members, and is configured such that, for example, an arm is pivotally connected to a body in a robot form, and the arm rotates back and forth or opens laterally. There is something I am doing. However, in such a pivoting method, the position of the pivoting portion between the arm and the body does not change, so when the shape is changed to another shape, the shape may become unnatural. For this reason, there are only a few types of shapes that a single toy can transform into, and the toy tends to lack expandability and interest.

(Technical problem of the invention) The technical problem of the present invention is to solve the above-mentioned drawbacks and provide a rotating and folding mechanism that can rotate and fold the two members constituting a shape-changing toy. do.

(Means for Solving the Problems) In order to solve the above problems, the two-member rotation and folding mechanism in the shape-changing toy according to the present invention has a plurality of members, and a second member for the first member. A mechanism for rotating and folding a member, characterized by having the following requirements.

(a) The first member and the second member are the first member and the second member.
A rotary disk rotatably provided along one side of the second member is connected to a connecting body whose one end is bendably provided to the second member.

(b) The other end of the connecting body is bendably connected to a connecting shaft provided on the surface of the rotary disk.

(Operations and effects of the invention) As described above, according to the invention, the first member and the second member are connected via the rotary disk and the connecting body, so that the rotating mechanism of the rotary disk One of the members can be rotated relative to the other member, and can also be bent by the bending function of the connector. Further, when the connecting body is bent at right angles to the rotary disk, the second member is spaced apart from the first member by the length of the connecting body,
Conversely, when the connecting body is folded and the first and second members overlap, the second member is displaced from the first member by the length of the connecting body. Therefore, it is possible to develop more forms, and the changed forms can be made natural.

(Example) Hereinafter, the rotation and bending mechanisms of the shape-changing toy of the present invention will be explained in detail.

In FIGS. 1 and 2, reference numeral 1 indicates the first member constituting the shape-changing toy, and reference numeral 2 indicates the second member.
It is a member of

The first member 1 and the second member 2 include a rotary disk 3 rotatably provided along one side 1a of the first member 1, and a rotary disk 3 provided at one end 4a of the second member 2.
It is constructed by connecting a bendable plate-like connecting body 4 having a predetermined length. The other end 4b of the connecting body 4 is bendably connected to the rotary disk 3.

An annular protrusion 5 is provided on the outer peripheral surface of the rotary disk 3, and the protrusion 5 fits into a groove 6a provided on the inner circumference of a fitting opening 6 formed on one side wall of the first member 1. It is formed so that it can rotate freely. A protrusion 7 is formed on the outer surface of the rotary disk 3, and a support shaft 8 passed through the protrusion 7 is bent in a bearing hole 9 provided at the end 4b of the connecting body 4. ing. Further, a recess 10 is formed in the second member 2, and a support shaft 11 provided on both inner walls of the recess 10 is supported by the other end of the connecting body 4 so as to be bendable.

In the above configuration, the first member 1 and the second member 2 can be rotated relative to the other member by the rotating function of the rotary disk 3, and also by the bending function of the connecting body 4. It can be bent by Further, when the connecting body 4 is bent at right angles to the rotary disk 3, the second member 2 is separated from the first member 1 by the length of the connecting body 4, and vice versa. When the connecting body 4 is folded and the first member 1 and the second member 2 overlap, the second member 2 is displaced from the first member 1 by the length of the connecting body 4. do. Therefore, it is possible to develop more forms, and the changed forms can be made natural.

Next, an example in which the rotation and folding mechanism described above is applied to a shape-changing toy will be explained with reference to FIGS. 3a to 3f.

In the figure, symbol A indicates a shape-changing toy.
This form-changing toy A changes from a robot form to an automobile body form, and is composed of a back part 23, arm parts 22, 22, leg parts 24, 24, etc., which are movable relative to a body part 21 in the robot form. Further, the head 25 is detachable.

The back part 23 is rotatably connected to the body part 21 via a hinge part 26. The leg portion 24 is composed of an upper leg portion 24a and a lower leg portion 24b.The upper leg portion 24a is formed so as to be bendable in the front and back direction with respect to the body portion 21, and the lower leg portion 24b is formed to be bendable with respect to the upper leg portion 24a. It is designed to be movable.

Next, the arm parts 22, 22 are formed to be rotatable and foldable with respect to the body part 21. The body part 21 corresponds to the first member 1 in FIG. 1, and the arm parts 22, 22
corresponds to the second member 2. The body part 21 and the arm parts 22, 22 are connected to the rotary disk 3 and the connecting body 4, respectively.
are connected via. Therefore, the arm parts 22, 22 can not only be rotated with respect to the body part 21, but also can be bent by the bending function of the connecting body 4.

Therefore, after removing the head 25 (see figure b), the arms 22, 22 are folded to the side of the body 21, and the upper leg 24a is rotated to bring the lower leg 24b into contact with the lower surface of the body 21. (b, c in the same figure), and then the back part 23
By folding the body part 21 into the front part of the body part 21 (e), as shown in figure f, the body part 21 constitutes a front window, a front side window, a roof front part, etc., and the back part 23 forms a hood. The arm portions 22, 22 constitute a front fender, etc., and the lower leg portion 24b constitutes a rear window, rear fender, etc., and the entire body can be changed into the form of an automobile body.

As described above, the arm parts 22, 22 can be rotated with respect to the body part 21 by the rotation function of the turntable 3, and can also be bent by the bending function of the connecting body 4. Further, when the connecting body 4 is bent at right angles to the rotary disk 3, the arms 22, 22 are connected to the body 21 and the connecting body 4 is bent.
(state shown in Figure 3a). Therefore, the arms 22, 22 of the robot can rotate back and forth or laterally relative to the body 21. In addition, the connecting body 4 is folded and the arm portions 22, 2
2 and the body portion 21 overlap, the arm portions 22, 2
2 is displaced by the length of the connecting body 4 with respect to the body portion 21 (states c and d in the figure). Therefore, the front fenders of the arm parts 22, 22 are positioned at predetermined positions of the side front windows of the body part 21, and a natural shape can be formed. Therefore, it is possible to diversify the changes in the form of one toy, thereby increasing the expandability and interest of the toy.
