Description

[Detailed description of the invention] Technical field to which the invention pertains This invention relates to a shape-changing toy that changes from a robot form to a vehicle form.

Prior Art and Its Disadvantages Conventional toys of this kind have a complicated structure for changing their shape, so they are not easy to manufacture, and they also have the disadvantage that they cannot be easily manipulated to change their shape.

Purpose of this invention In view of the above points, this invention connects the arms of the robot and the wheels of the vehicle with a connecting member, and
The connecting member is rotatably attached to the side of the body of the robot so that the arm and the wheel can be moved interchangeably between the side and front or back of the body, thereby achieving a simple structure. It is an object of the present invention to provide a shape-changing toy that can change from a robot form to a vehicle form with a simple operation.

Means for Achieving the Objective In order to achieve the above objective, this invention forms a recess that opens on the front, side and rear sides of the robot body, fits a connecting member into the recess, and inserts the connecting member into the recess. A robot arm is rotatably supported around a horizontal axis on the side surface of the connecting member, and a vehicle wheel is rotatably supported on a horizontal axis on the back side of the connecting member. It is supported by a shaft so that it can rotate freely around the robot leg, and small wheels are provided protruding from the lower back surface of the robot leg.

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

A protrusion 2 having a polygonal longitudinal section and protruding rearward is provided at the back of the head 1 of the robot, and a hole 3 penetrating in the left-right direction is formed in the protrusion. The tips of a pair of left and right support pieces 5 protruding forward in the middle part of the wing 4 of the vehicle are brought into contact with both end surfaces of the protrusion 2, and a bearing 6 and a protrusion 2 formed at the tips of these support pieces are brought into contact with the ends of the protrusion 2. The wing 4 is rotatably attached to the head 1 by passing the shaft 7 through the hole 3 . Then, both support pieces 5 are attached to the wing 4.
As shown in FIG. 4, by elastically pressing the tip of a pressing piece 8 which extends below or above the supporting piece forwardly between the projections 2 and 2, the wing 4 is can be rotated relative to the head 1 and brought into contact with any surface on the outside of the protrusion 2 to be stopped at an arbitrary angle.

The head 1 has a bearing 9 on its neck, and the bearing is inserted into a recess 11 formed on the upper surface of the body 10 so as to be rotatable within a small angle range, and is pushed into the body from the side. The shaft is attached to the body by passing the shaft through the bearing 9.

Recesses 12 that open from the front through the side surfaces to the back are formed on both left and right sides of the trunk 10, and a connecting member 13 is fitted into each recess, and a vertical shaft 14 penetrating from the shoulder of the trunk is connected to the recess 12. By penetrating member 13, it is supported rotatably through 90° about its vertical axis 14. A robot arm 15 is rotatably connected to the side surface of the connecting member 13 by a horizontal shaft 16, and a vehicle wheel 17 is rotatably supported by a horizontal shaft 18 to the rear surface of the connecting member. .

Due to the mounting structure of the robot arm 15 and vehicle wheels 17, the arm 15 located on the side surface of the body 10 as shown in FIG. 1 can be rotated to the front side of the body as shown in FIG. When the body rotates, the wheels 17 on the back surface of the body are moved to the side surface of the body via the connecting member 13. Further, when the arm portion 15 is returned to the side position, the wheels 17 are also returned to the back side.

Note that the arm portion 15 is provided with a recess 15a that opens on the distal end surface and the inner surface, and by fitting the hand portion 19 into the recess and passing the shaft 20 through the arm and the hand,
A hand portion 19 is attached to the arm portion so as to be freely retractable from the arm portion.

A telescopic robot leg 21 is fixed to both left and right sides of the lower surface of the body 10, and a leg 23 is inserted into a recess 22 formed at the lower end of the leg.
are fitted together and are rotatably mounted by a shaft 24 between a position perpendicular to the leg as shown in FIG. 1 and a position extending over the leg as shown in FIG. There is. On the lower back of both legs 21,
A small wheel 25 (see FIG. 5) is provided so as to be as inconspicuous as possible. Both legs 21 may be connected by a shaft 24.

With the above configuration, when the head 1 is placed upright on the body 10 and the wings 4 are rotated so as to be located at the rear and lower side of the head, the existence of the wings will not be visible from the front as shown in FIG. Next, the arm part 15 is placed on the side of the body part 10, and if desired, the horizontal axis 1
When the robot is rotated six times, the hand part 19 is rotated out, and the foot part 23 is directed forward at right angles to the leg part 21, the robot form is completed as shown in FIG. Since the wheels 17 are located on the back of the body 10,
When viewed from the front, its existence is invisible, and when viewed from the back, it looks like a high-tech robot (see Figure 5).

On the other hand, when the head 1 is tilted slightly forward and the wing 4 is rotated toward the top of the head 1, its existence becomes clear. Additionally, the arm portion 15 is connected to the connecting member 13.
At the same time, it rotates to the front side of the trunk 10 via the
The wheels 17 are positioned on the side surface of the body section 10 from the back side. This makes the presence of the wheels clear when viewed from the front. The hand portion 19 is housed in the recess 15a of the arm 5. Finally, the foot section 23 is rotated and extended from the tip of the leg section 21, and laid down horizontally so that the back surfaces of the torso section 10 and the leg section 21 are on the lower surface, and placed on a flat surface. As shown in FIG. 2, the robot form shown in FIG.
The main body is a vehicle, wheels 17 are rear wheels, wheels 25 are front wheels, arms 15 are jet engines or firearms, and wings 4 are provided at the rear.

The shape of the connecting member 13 is not particularly limited, and can be made into any shape suitable for the shape of the robot and vehicle.

Effects of this invention As mentioned above, according to this invention, the connecting member can be freely rotated within a range of 90° around a vertical axis in a recess that opens from the front, side, and rear side of the robot body. The base of the robot arm is attached to the side of the supporting and connecting member so as to be rotatable around a horizontal axis, the vehicle wheel is attached to the back of the connecting member so as to be rotatable around the horizontal axis, and the base of the robot arm is attached to the back of the lower part of the robot leg. Since the small wheels are protruded, the robot arm and the vehicle wheels can be moved interchangeably with a simple configuration, and therefore,
It can be changed from robot form to vehicle form with a simple operation. Moreover, in the robot form, the wheels, which are the characteristic parts of a vehicle, cannot be seen on the front side, and in the vehicle form, the characteristic parts of the robot, such as the head, legs, and chest, cannot be seen. It is excellent in that it does not predict the form of change.
