Description

[Detailed description of the invention] (Field of industrial application) The present invention is a shape-changing robot toy in which the head or hands can be protruded via a spring by operating an engaging member. Regarding pop-out mechanisms such as.

(Prior Art) Many general form-changing robot toys change form from robots to cars, bases, etc. However, since the shape of the robot's head or hand is particularly clear, it is difficult to use it as part of the transformed form.
For this reason, in the past, the head or hands were folded or the hands were retracted into the arm member.
However, since this type of toy changes its shape by manipulating the movable members that make up the toy, it lacks a sense of operation if the toy is folded or retracted by hand. Preferably, the head or hands appear and disappear to some degree automatically.

(Purpose of the invention) The present invention has been made in view of the above circumstances, and in particular, the head or hand can be protruded by operating an engaging member using a spring as a driving source, and it has a feeling of operation. The purpose of this study is to propose a popping mechanism for the head, hands, etc. of a shape-changing robot toy that is excellent in terms of appearance.

(Technical means to achieve the purpose) As a technical means to achieve the above purpose,
The mechanism for popping out the head, hands, etc. in the shape-changing robot toy according to the present invention is characterized by having the following requirements.

(b) A head or hands having protrusions on both sides of the base is provided on the ends of the body or arms of the robot toy so that the head or hands can appear and retract freely, and when the body or arms are immersed, the head or hands are attached to the body or the arms. A storage section for accommodating the device is formed with an opening, and a spring is provided between the bottom of the storage section and the head or hand to bias the head or hand in the projecting direction.

(b) At the open end of the storage section, there is a plate-shaped plate that is movable in a direction perpendicular to the direction in which the head or hand appears and that it has an elongated opening that penetrates the base of the head or hand. An engaging member is provided.

(c) Engagement protrusions that engage with the upper surface of the protrusion of the base of the head or hand that is pushed in against the spring in the storage part along the longitudinal direction on both opposing surfaces of the opening. is formed, and a notch portion is formed in a part of the engagement protrusion to release the engagement with the engagement protrusion of the base.

(d) An inclined surface for receiving the protrusion of the head or hand is formed on the front or rear end surface of the notch, and the engaging member is held at a position where the inclined surface corresponds to the protrusion. It is spring-biased so that it can be pushed in from the outside, and one end protrudes to the outside so that it can be pushed in from the outside.

(Operations and Effects of the Invention) As described above, according to the pop-out mechanism of the present invention, when the protruding head or hand part is first pushed into the storage part against the spring in the storage part, the protrusion is engaged. Since the engagement member is pressed against the inclined guide surface of the engagement member, the engagement member moves against the spring, and the protrusion passes through the notch. When the protrusion passes through the notch, the engagement member moves back to its original position due to the spring force, so the upper surface of the protrusion engages with the lower surface of the protrusion of the engagement member and is held in this state. Ru.

Next, when the engaging member is pushed in from the outside of the toy and moved to a position corresponding to the notch of the engaging protrusion, the engagement between the engaging protrusion and the protrusion is disengaged, so the force of the spring in the storage section is removed. is opened and the protrusion passes through the notch, so the head or hand protrudes as it did when it first protruded.

Therefore, according to the present invention, the head or hand can be made to protrude by operating the engaging member using the spring as the driving source, so it is possible to obtain a shape-changing robot toy with excellent operational feel.

(Example) Hereinafter, an example of an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

In the figure, reference numeral 1 indicates a shape-changing robot toy in which a pop-out mechanism A for the head, hands, etc. of the shape-changing robot toy according to the present invention is applied to the head. This robot toy 1 has the upper end of the body part 2,
A head 3 having locking protrusions 3a, 3a on both sides of the base is provided so as to be retractable, and a housing portion 4 for housing the head 3 when retracted is opened in the body portion 2. A spring 6 is disposed between the bottom of the storage section 4 and the head 3 to bias the head 3 upward via a spring receiving member 5, and both sides of the spring receiving member 5 in the vertical direction are provided. Guide grooves 5a, 5a for the above-mentioned locking protrusions 3a, 3a protruding from both sides of the base of the head 3 are cut in the. Thereby, the locking protrusions 3a, 3a of the head 3 are guided by the guide grooves 5a, 5a, and the head 3 can be reliably moved in and out of the body 2.

A plate-shaped engagement member 8 is provided at the open end of the storage section 4, and is movable in a direction perpendicular to the direction in which the head 3 appears and retracts, and has an elongated opening 7 that penetrates the base of the head 3. ing. This engaging member 8 is placed on the bottom plate 5b of the spring receiving member 5 provided at the bottom of the storage portion 4, and the receiving cylinder 5 of this spring receiving member 5
c is penetrated above the opening 7. Further, on opposite sides of the opening 7, locking protrusions 3a are provided on both sides of the base of the head 3 which is pushed in against the spring 6 in the storage part 4 along the longitudinal direction.
Engagement protrusions 9, 9 that engage with the locking protrusions 3a are formed, and a portion of the engagement protrusions 9, 9 has cutouts 10, 10 for disengaging from the engagement with the locking protrusions 3a, 3a. is formed. The front ends of the notches 10, 10 are formed into inclined surfaces 10a, 10a in order to receive the locking protrusions 3a, 3a of the head 3. Further, the engagement member 8 is connected to the inclined surfaces 10a, 10a.
is provided on the head 3 and is constantly biased by a spring 11 so as to be held at a position corresponding to the locking protrusions 3a, 3a, and one end protrudes from the outside of the body 2 so as to be pushable. A pressing piece 12 is formed.

The mechanism A for popping out the head or hands in the shape-changing robot toy is constructed as described above, so when using it, first refer to Figures 2 a and b.
