Description

[Detailed description of the invention] Technical field to which the invention pertains This invention relates to a transformable toy that reversibly changes from a first form to a second form by movement of a movable constituent member relative to a basic constituent member.

PRIOR ART AND ITS DISADVANTAGES Conventional toys of this type are designed so that each movable component that contributes to deformation or the locking member that locks the movable component can move freely at any time simply by applying force. connected. Therefore, if the player has the desire or intention to transform, he or she can simply apply force to the movable component of the toy in a certain shape or press a push button to release the movable component. Since the component parts move just by moving, the process of changing from one form to another does not require any difficulty or game-like thinking ability, so it feels like the entertainment value is poor. There was an unavoidable flaw.

Purpose of this invention In view of the above points, this invention provides a means for locking the movement of a movable component that contributes to deformation relative to the basic component, and a locking means that enables release of the lock at a predetermined rotation angle. By providing a structure in which the locking means is released only when the lock regulating means is operated appropriately, and the movable component can be moved, the process of shape change or To provide a transformable toy whose entertainment value is greatly improved by requiring thinking ability or by adding game elements.

Embodiment of this invention Next, an embodiment of this invention will be described based on the drawings.

In the illustrated embodiment, the first configuration is that of an airplane as shown in FIG. 1, with the cockpit and hatch opened as shown in FIG. As shown in FIG. 3, by moving each movable component, the second form is a robot-human form.

As shown in FIG. 4, the toy component that changes shape in this example
A front member 1 which is a basic component located at a central position, a leading member 2 which is a movable component movably connected to this basic component, left and right side members 3, and a rear member 4. have.

The basic component 1 is provided with a hole 5 and recesses 6 and 7 in order to connect the movable components 2 to 4 in a freely removable, rotatable or rotatable manner. The movable structural members 2 to 4 are each connected to the basic structural member 1 in the following manner.

The leading member 2 has a rear half formed in a cross-sectional shape corresponding to the hole 5, and is fitted into the front part of the hole 5 so as to be slidable in the axial direction. The side member 3 rotatably fits a rotating shaft 8 provided at one end in the longitudinal direction into small holes 9 formed on the left and right sides of the front end of the front member 1, and rotates about the rotating shaft to open the recess. It is connected so that it can be housed in 6 or extended to the outside. Further, the rear member 4 has its front portion fitted into a rearwardly open recess 7 formed in the rear half of the front member 1 so as to be slidable in the axial direction.
The rear member can be extended rearward or shortened forward, and a retaining member 10 fixed to the front member at the center of the opening surface of the recess 7 is inserted into the central elongated hole 11 of the rear member. It is designed to prevent it from falling out when you pull it backwards.

The front member 1, which is the basic component, also includes:
A locking means is provided for locking each of the movable structural members 2 to 4 in the engaged state, the stored state before rotation, and the shortened state. Since all the locking means have the same structure, the side member 3 shown in FIG.
The locking means includes a hook 12 protruding from the side member 3, which is a movable component, and a top plate 13 facing the hole 5 of the front member.
and a rotation lock member 16 rotatably supported by a shaft 15 between the lower plate 14 and the lower plate 14. The rotation locking member 16 is formed by forming notches 18 corresponding to the two left and right side members on opposite sides of an annular locking edge 17 projecting downward, and when the side member 3 is housed in the recess 6, the hook 12 and the notch 18 are at the same height, and the lower end of the locking edge 17 is formed to be lower than the hook.

A hole 19 is provided at the bottom of the recess 6 of the front member 1 to allow the hook 12 of the stored side member 3 to enter the inside of the hole 5. In this way, when the side member 3 is housed in the recess 6 while the notch 18 of the rotary lock member 16 is facing the hole 19, the hook 12 is inserted into the notch 18 of the rotary lock member 16.
Get inside. Therefore, when the rotary lock member 16 is rotated under this condition, the hook 12 engages with the locking edge 17, so that even if the side member 3 is pulled with a fingertip, it cannot be removed from the recess 6.

The leading member 2 and the rear member 4 also have hooks 20 and 21 similar to the hook 12 of the side members, and a rotating lock member 22 rotatably mounted in the hole 5 and having a similar shape to the rotating lock member 16. A locking means consisting of 23 is provided.

Each of the locking means is connected with a lock regulating means for rotating the respective rotary lock member to restrict release of the hook of the locking means. In the illustrated example, dials 24a, 24b, and 24c, which can be rotated directly by hand, are fixed to the rotary lock member, and the dials are made to protrude outside from each hole provided on the upper surface of the front member 1, thereby controlling the lock regulating means. It is configured. However, instead of protruding the dial, a keyhole may be formed in the top plate of the front member, and a key inserted into the keyhole may be used to rotate the rotating shaft of the rotary lock member.

In this way, the key inserted into the dial or keyhole is held at a predetermined angle, that is, the notch 1 of the rotary lock member
When 8 rotates to the angle corresponding to the hooks 12, 20, and 21, the hooks are released, so
It becomes possible to move the movable components 3, 2, 4 respectively.

The amount of rotation of the dial or key until the hook is released from the lock by each lock regulating means is not necessarily the same. In order to identify the predetermined angle at which the hook is released by each dial or key, an indicator 25 is written on the top surface of the dial, and numbers, such as 0 to 9, are written around the dial or in the key hole. It is preferable to write numbers around the ring so that the lock is released when the indicator on the dial or the grip on the key matches the predetermined number. In this way, only a player who knows the unlocking number combination can achieve a complete transformation of the toy. In addition, even those who do not know the unlocking numbers can enjoy the game because if they can only guess a part of them, they cannot transform completely, but if they can guess a combination, they can transform completely.

Next, the morphological characteristics of the basic component, the movable component, and other components will be explained. In the illustrated embodiment in which an airplane transforms into a robot human, the front half of the leading member 2 has a shape similar to the nose of an airplane, and a robot face portion 26 facing downward is provided inside the rear half of the leading member 2. It is provided. Further, an arch part 27 having a shape similar to the cockpit part of an airplane is fixed to the center of the front part of the front part 1, and base parts 28 of main wings are fixed to the upper surface of the front part member on both left and right sides behind the arch part. Left and right hatch members 29 are attached to the center of the rear upper surface of the arch section between the main wing bases using hinges 30 and 31 so as to be openable and closable. Hatch member 2
By opening and closing 9, the lock regulating means is hidden;
Or it can be exposed.

A main wing member 32 is connected to the main wing base 28 by inserting its tip into the side of the base and rotatably about a shaft 33. By adjusting the inclination angle of the main wing member, it is possible to create a sense of speed of the airplane. can.

The rear portion 1a of the front member 1 is formed to protrude outward, and has the appearance of a robot body when the front member 1 is viewed from the bottom side. Further, the side member 3 has a shape 3a resembling a hand at the tip and has an appearance like a robot arm as a whole, and a convex portion 3 having a shape similar to a missile on the outer surface.
4 is formed, and when the side member is housed in the recess 6, it presents the appearance of a missile being equipped under the main wing on the side of the front member 1 which becomes the airplane fuselage.

Furthermore, the rear member 4 is formed in a forked shape,
A tail member 35 having a shape similar to the horizontal stabilizer and vertical stabilizer of an airplane is fixed to the upper surface of the rear half thereof,
A covering member 36 having a uniform appearance with the lower surface of the front member 1 is fixed to the lower side of the tail member. In this manner, the rear part 4 has an appearance similar to the tail of an airplane when viewed from above in FIG. 3, and similar to the legs of a robot when viewed from below.

With the above configuration, the toy in the form of an airplane shown in FIG. 1 is first opened by opening the hatch member 29 to expose the lock regulating means as shown in FIG. When the lock is rotated one by one to a predetermined angle, the notch in the rotary lock member of the locking means that was regulated by the lock regulating means including the dial matches the hook, so that the movable member that was locked by the locking means Since the component is unlocked, the movable component can be moved.

Therefore, for example, if it is the leading member 2, it can be pulled out in the axial direction, and if it is the side member 3, it can be pulled out into the shaft 8.
Rotate around and extend the rear member 4.
If so, pull this backwards and extend it. After closing the hatch member 29, if this toy is stood up with the rear member 4 facing downward and the front member 1, which is facing the bottom in FIG. 1, faces forward, as shown in FIG. 3. The robot's face is exposed on the front of the leading member 2, and the robot has changed into a robot-human form.

The invention is not limited to the above example. There may be more than one basic component, and
The movement form of the movable component relative to the basic component may be arbitrary, such as rotation, swinging, expansion/contraction, detachment, etc.

Furthermore, as shown in FIG. 4, if the shaft 8 is provided with a coil spring _sp1 which stores energy when the side member 3 is stored in the recess 6, a coil spring sp2 which stores energy when the leading member ₂ is inserted into the hole 5, and a coil spring _sp3 which stores energy when the rear member 4 is inserted into the recess 7, then when the lock restriction means is operated appropriately, the movable components will each automatically move and change into the robot form.

Effects of this invention As described above, the deformable toy according to this invention has a means for locking the movement of each movable component contributing to deformation with respect to the basic component, and a means for releasing the lock at a predetermined rotation angle or operating position. A lock regulating means is provided so that only when the rotary lock member of each lock regulating means is rotated to a predetermined angle, the locking by the locking means is released and the movable component can be moved. Since it is configured as
Unintended morphological changes can be prevented.

In addition, all movable components become movable only when each of the plurality of rotary lock members is rotated to a predetermined angle, so thinking and game elements are added to the process or conditions of transformation, making the transformable toy more entertaining. is significantly improved.
