Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] (Industrial Application Field) The present invention relates to a block toy that changes shape, and particularly to a block toy that can change shape from a block shape to a robot shape with a single touch.

(Prior art and its problems) As a conventional block toy, for example, several attached members such as a head, arms, legs, etc. are detachably or retractably engaged with the block body. There are things that can change form into other forms, such as robots. However, all of these have disadvantages in that the operation of removing or retracting each member such as the head is troublesome, and it takes time and effort to change the shape.

(Means for Solving the Problems) The present invention has been made in view of the above, and provides a shape-changing block toy that allows the shape to change from a block shape to a robot shape with a single touch. It is something to do.

(Means for Achieving the Object) In order to achieve the above object, the shape-changing block toy according to the present invention has a head member, arm members, and leg members that retract from a block-shaped toy body that changes shape into a robot. The form changes, characterized by the following provision.

(a) The head member and arm members are biased upwardly and vertically with respect to the block-shaped toy body, and the arm members are biased horizontally in the protruding direction by springs.(b) Each of the head member and arms above Each of the inner ends of the member and the leg member is provided with a locking portion, while the toy main body is provided with the head member, the arm member, and the leg member when the head member, arm member, and leg member are pushed inward against the spring.
All the locking parts of the arm and leg members are provided with a rod-shaped locking member with a locking part formed around the periphery. The head member, arm members, and leg members are provided so as to be slidable, and are spring-biased in a direction to maintain the locked state with the head member, arm members, and leg members, and a portion of the member is provided externally through holes formed in the toy body. Being exposed so that the locking state can be released (Example) The shape-changing block toy of the present invention will be described below.

FIGS. 1 and 2 are explanatory diagrams showing the state before and after the shape of an embodiment of the present invention changes, and this block toy 1 includes a block body (toy body) 2,
Projection holes 3 formed on four circumferential sides of the main body 2,
4, 5, a head member 10 supported retractably by the respective protruding holes 3, 4, 5, a pair of arm members 20, leg members 30, and retractably supported by the hole 6 on the front of the main body. It is generally composed of a supported push member 40 and a locking/disengaging mechanism 50 built into the main body 2 and activated when the push member 40 is pushed inward.

The block body 2 has a push member 4 in the center of the front.
A bottomed box-shaped case 2a having a hole 6 for supporting 0

As shown in FIG. 6, each member 10, 20, 30
Locking portions 11, 21, and 31 are integrally formed on the inside of the holder. Each member 10, 20, 30 is
Although it may be configured to be directly supported by the protruding holes 3, 4, and 5 so as to be freely retractable, in this embodiment, the hole that supports the arm member among the notches 3a, 4a, and 5a of the case 2a. A plate-shaped partition body 7 having a guide slit 7a is provided inside the notch 4a constituting the arm member 4, and slidably supports a slide plate 22 formed to protrude at right angles from the inside surface of the arm member 20. It is configured as follows. Each member 10, 20,
30 is always elastically biased outward by springs 13, 23, and 33. That is, each spring 1
3, 23, 33 connect the outer end to each member 10, 20,
30 (as shown in FIG. 7, the arm member 20 has a configuration in which the spring support plate 24 and the locking part 21 are integrated with the inner end of the slide plate 22), and The inner end is fitted with a suitable protrusion, such as a locking member support portion 57 and a retainer 51, which will be described later.
Supported by et al.

As shown in FIGS. 3 to 6, the engagement/disengagement mechanism 50 includes the partition body 7 integrally formed to protrude from the inner bottom surface of the case 2a, and each pair of springs 13, 23, 33 for positioning and holding them. retainers 51, 52, 53 consisting of opposing plate-shaped bodies; each member 10;
There are four locking members 54 radially provided with locking portions 54a that are removable with the locking portions 11, 21, 31 of 20 and 30, and the locking members 54 are connected in the vertical direction (from the bottom of the case to the bottom surface of the case). a locking member support part 57 having four holes 56 for positioning and holding four springs 55 that support the locking members 54 so as to be reciprocated in the perpendicular directions) and always bias the locking members 54 in the projecting direction; The push member 4 fitted to the upper end of the locking member 54
It is composed of 0. Each of the locking portions 54a and each of the locking hooks 11, 21, and 31 are operated by elastically displacing the locking portions downward when the locking portions are pushed inward, as shown in FIG. They are configured to engage with each other.

The cover 2b has each member 10, 2 attached to the case 2a.
0, 30, and after the engagement/disengagement mechanism 50 and the like have been assembled, the case is assembled so as to close the opening on the back side of the case.

In the above configuration, each member 10, 20, 30
By pushing the blocks into the respective holes 3, 4, and 5 of the block body 2, the blocks can be brought into the block state shown in FIG. The shape can be changed to the robot state shown in the figure. That is, first, each spring 1
3, 23, 33, each member 10, 20, 30
When pushed inward, the locking portions 11, 21, 31 are displaced toward the locking portion 54a, as shown in FIG. 8, and become engaged. For this reason, each member 1
0, 20, and 30 are retracted to form a stepless shape with the peripheral side of the block body 2. Next, push member 40
When each locking member 54 is pushed against the spring 55 by pushing in, the engagement between each locking portion 54a and each locking hook 11, 21, 31 is released.
The head member 10 and the leg members 30 are arranged in the vertical direction, and the arm members 2
0 can protrude laterally and change into the form of a robot.

(Effects of the invention) As described above, according to the invention, when the locking member is operated and slid in the front-rear direction with respect to the toy body, the locking member locks with the head member, arm member, and leg member. When the state is released, the head member, arm members, and leg members protrude from the toy body due to the spring, and change into a robot-like form with the toy body as a body.

In addition, since the locking portion of the locking member is formed around the rod-shaped locking portion, when the locking member is slid, the locking states with the head member, arm member, and leg member are released. It takes place almost simultaneously. Therefore, the form can be changed instantaneously.
