Description

[Detailed description of the invention] Industrial application field This invention is a deformable locking device for a deformable robot toy, and more specifically, a deformable locking device for a deformable robot toy. This invention relates to a deformable lock device that can be deformed into a lock device.

Technical Problems to be Solved Generally, a deformable robot toy that changes from a certain form to a robot form is equipped with a deployment locking means that prevents the component parts of the robot from being deployed from a non-robot form to a robot form. However, in conventional transforming robot toys,
Since the deployment locking means is constructed from a member separate from the robot component, it is difficult to assemble it with the robot component, and it may be exposed to the outside and spoil the appearance of the toy, or the deployment lock may be released. Therefore, it had the disadvantage that it required work separate from the robot's deformation action.

This invention makes the presence of the deployment locking means invisible to the outside of the toy by integrally forming the components of the deployment locking means in the components of the robot, and also makes it easy to operate. It is an object of the present invention to provide a deformation locking device for a deformable robot toy, which allows the deformation lock to be released immediately.

A means for solving the problem: A hollow part that opens on the upper surface is provided in the body member of the robot, and the head member is attached to the hollow part so as to be freely retractable and always urged in the direction of protrusion, and provided on both left and right sides of the head member. The head member is locked at the position where the shaft protruding from the base end of the arm member is recessed into the body member through a keyhole-shaped locking hole in which a large-diameter true round part and a small-width elongated hole are continuous. The shaft is slidably inserted in the axial direction toward the hole, and the flange provided at the tip of the shaft is locked in the locking hole by the upper position of the head member, and the flange is locked by the lower position of the head member. It is designed to be released from the hole. Furthermore, a member is attached to the shaft of the arm member to constantly bias the arm member in a direction to separate it from the body member. The chest member is rotatably connected to the upper part of the body member, closes the upper opening of the body member in the folded state, and receives a pressing force from the outside to apply an urging force in the direction of the head member's protrusion. The arm member is provided with an actuating member that moves against the chest member and the leg member in the folded position when the flange of the shaft is inserted into the locking hole and locked. It has a locking member that engages.

Function When the head member is recessed inside the body member and slightly moved upward by the biasing member, the locking hole engages with the flange of the shaft of the arm member, so the arm member is moved by the biasing member. Deployment is prevented regardless of force. On the other hand, when the head member is pushed inward against the biasing member and moved, the flanges of the arm members disengage from the locking holes in the head member, and the arm members are expanded outward of the body member by the biasing member. be done. At the same time, the head member projects from the body member. When the arm members are deployed outward, the arm members and leg members that have been locked to the arm members are released and deployed.

Embodiment of this invention Next, an embodiment of this invention will be described based on the drawings. In the illustrated embodiment, a deformable attachment is fitted and attached to a toy body that changes from a form other than a robot to a robot, and when the attached item is brought into a predetermined state, the deployment locking means releases the lock. It is configured to do so.

[Overall configuration] This invention consists of a toy body A that reversibly changes into two forms when unfolded and folded, and a toy body A that similarly reversibly changes into two forms when unfolded and folded, and when folded. It consists of an attached item B that is detachably attached to the holder. In the illustrated example, the toy main body A can reversibly change between the form of a car as shown in FIG. 1 in the folded state and the form of a robot as shown in FIG. 3 in the unfolded state, Installed item B
can be changed into a small robot form as shown in FIG. 1 in the unfolded state and an engine form as shown in FIG. 2 in the folded state.

[Toy main body] The toy main body A includes a body member 1 which is a central member and a body member 1 as shown in FIG.
It has one chest member 2 which is a deployable member connected to the body member 1 so as to be freely unfoldable and foldable, a pair of left and right arm members 3, and a pair of left and right leg members 4. A head member 5 is attached to the formed lower part so as to be freely retractable, and as will be described in detail later, a part of the head member 5 and a part of the arm member 3 lock the arm member 3 and the chest member 2 from being deployed. The expansion locking means described later is configured.

First, each component of the toy body A will be explained in detail.

The body member 1 integrally includes a roof portion 1a having the shape of the roof of an automobile, a hollow lower portion 1b, and a pair of left and right extension portions 1c extending rearward. It has an appearance. As shown in FIG. 6, the hollow part 6 of the lower part 1b opens forward from a hole 7 on the front surface, and the head member 5 is inserted into the hole 7 so as to be freely retractable in the front-rear direction. As shown in FIG. 5, the head member 5 is formed in the shape of a hollow box, and has keyhole-shaped locking holes in which a large-diameter true circle portion 5a and a small-width elongated hole portion 5b are continuous on both left and right sides. The block part 8a of the guide member 8, which has a block part 8a having a diameter slightly larger than the diameter of the perfect circular part 5a and a shaft part 8b extending in both right and left directions, is inserted into the hollow part 6, and the shaft part 8b is inserted into the hollow part 6. The shaft portion 8b extends from the hole 8 to the outside, and the shaft portion 8b is movable from the perfectly circular portion 5a to the elongated hole portion 5b or in the opposite direction.

In addition, holes 9 are provided on both left and right side surfaces of the lower part 1b and communicate with the hollow portion 6, and a shaft 10 protruding from the inner surface of the arm member 3 is provided in each hole so as to be rotatable and slidable in the axial direction. is inserted, and a flange 11 is attached to the tip of the shaft.
is provided to prevent it from coming out from the hole 9, as shown in FIGS. 6-8.

Then, a hole 10a that opens to the distal end surface is formed in the shaft 10 of each arm member 3, and an elastic member 12 such as a coil spring is inserted into the hole, and the shaft portions 8b on both sides of the guide member 8 are connected to the shaft portions 8b of both arm members. By being slidably inserted into the hole 10a of the shaft 10, the arm member 3 is urged outward from the body member 1.

The outer diameter of the flange 11 of the shaft 10 is formed to be slightly smaller than the inner diameter of the perfectly circular portion 5a, so that both arm members 3 are brought close to each other with the centers of the perfectly circular portion 5a and the shaft 10 aligned. When pushed in the direction against the biasing member 12, the flange 11 enters inside the circular portion 5a, and when the force is removed from both arm members, the biasing member 12 causes the arm members to move outward. The flange 11 is moved to the outside of the circular portion 5a.

As mentioned above, the shaft 10 and the guide member 8 are always connected to the shaft portion 8.
b is inserted into the hole 10a and connected, so that the head member 5 is held so as not to separate from the body member. A biasing member 1 such as a coil spring is provided between the inner wall surface of the hollow portion 6 of the body member and the back surface of the head member.
4 is held, and the head member 5 is always urged forward.

The arm member 3 has an appearance similar to a side door of a car, and the arm part 13 of the robot is composed of a lower arm member 13a, an upper arm member 13b, and a root member 13c, which are each bendably connected to the inner surface. It is attached by a shaft 10 at.

As will be described later, the arm member 3 is a deployable member that is deployed against the body member 1 and changes from the shape of a car door to the shape of a robot arm. 10 and the biasing member 14 constitute a deployment locking means that prevents the deployment member from being deployed or releases the lock. That is,
The biasing member 14 acts to constantly bias the head member 5 in the locking direction, and moves the head member 5 rearward against the bias so that the arm can be attached with the perfect circular portion 5a and the hole 9 aligned. When the flange 1 of the shaft 10 of the member is inserted inside the circular portion 5a and the external force is removed from the head member, it is moved forward by the biasing member and the rear circumference of the circular portion 5a is moved to the flange 1.
1, the arm member 3 is held in a folded state close to the body member 1, and the head member is also held in a state where its front surface is almost recessed from the front surface of the body member as shown in FIG. be done.

On the other hand, when a rearward external force is applied to the front surface of the head member against the biasing member 14, the rear peripheral edge of the perfectly circular portion of the head member separates from the flange 11 of the shaft 10 and opens it. The arm member 3 is moved outward by the elastic force of the biasing member 12 and becomes deployable relative to the torso member. In other words, unless an external force is applied to the head member 5, the deployable member 3 cannot be deployed.

The chest member 2 has wheels 15 rotatably on both left and right sides, has an appearance and shape similar to the front part of an automobile, and has a fitting recess 16 opening on the top surface.
An actuating piece 18 is supported by a shaft 19 in a notched groove 17 formed in the center of the front part 2a so as to open to the front, and is always urged forward by a biasing member 20 such as a coil spring. When pushed inward, the shaft 19 projects from the convex wall 17a into the fitting recess 16. Further, a hole 21 is formed in the center of the rear portion 2b, penetrating rearward from the fitting recess. The chest member 2 is attached rotatably around a horizontal axis 24 by a hinge 22 provided at the lower back and a hinge 23 provided at the lower front of the torso member, that is, deployable relative to the torso member 1. . When the chest member 2 is rotated toward the body member, it hits the head member 5 protruding from the front surface of the body member, causing it to sink into the body member.

Additionally, vertical grooves 25 that open laterally are provided in the rear portions of both left and right sides of the chest member 2, as shown in FIGS. 6 and 7.
As shown in the figure, the back of the chest member 2 is connected to the body member 1.
Rotate and fold until it touches the front of the head member 5.
When the arm member 3 is moved in parallel with the torso member and pushed toward the torso member after moving slightly backward, the inward flange 26 provided at the front end of the arm member
are fitted to prevent the chest member from unfolding at the center of the horizontal axis 24.

The leg member 4 has an upper surface 4a continuous to the roof portion 1a of the torso member 1, a side surface 4b continuous to the outer surface of the arm member 3,
It has wheels 27 and has the appearance shape of the rear part of an automobile, and the end of the extension part 1c of the body member 1 is fitted into a recess 28 opening downward and rearward of the leg member 4, and the extension part 1c and the leg member 4 with the shaft 29 in the recess 28
The leg members are connected to the trunk member 1 so as to be expandable by rotating about the shaft 29 through the inner part thereof.

The leg member 4 has a groove 3 that opens forward at the upper front surface.
0 is provided with protrusions 31 on the front side, respectively,
When the leg member is rotated so as to cover the extension part 1c so that the upper surface of the leg member is continuous with the roof part 1a of the torso member while the arm member is closely locked to the torso member, the groove 3
0 is fitted with a protrusion 32 protruding from the back of the body member,
Further, the protrusion 31 fits into a groove 33 provided at the upper rear end of the arm member 3, so that the leg member 4 is held in the folded state.

In this way, the toy main body brings the back side of the chest member 2 into contact with the front side of the body member 1, applies an external force such that it is recessed into the head member 5, and brings both arm members 3 close to the body member 1. When the flange 26 is fitted into the groove 25 of the chest member 2 and the external force is removed from the head member, the deployment locking means acts and the arm member 3 is locked in the folded state. Then, by rotating the leg member 4 so as to cover the upper side of the extension part 1c and fitting the groove 30 and the protrusion 31 into the protrusion 32 and the groove 33, the toy main body A is shaped like a car as shown in FIG. hold.

The appearance of the fitting recess 16 of the chest member 2 is undesirable if left exposed, so a lid C having a bonnet shape is removably attached to the recess 1.
6 can be hidden.

[Attached item] On the other hand, in the illustrated example, as shown in FIG. 1, the attached item B includes a body part 35 that integrally has a head part 34, and a body part 35 that rotates and deploys by means of shafts and bearings on the upper and lower parts of the body part, respectively. Arm portion 36 and leg portion 37 that are foldably connected
A combination lock 38 that can be operated from the outside is attached to the center of the body 35. and,
When the arms 36 and legs 37 are unfolded, it changes to the robot form as shown in Fig. 1, and when the arms and legs are folded, the appearance of the dial of the combination lock is shown in Fig. 2. It also has the appearance of an engine.

To further explain the structure of the combination lock 38 and its attachment structure to the body, four examples of flanges are attached to a plurality of dial plates 39 having keyholes as shown in FIG. , rotating parts 41 having a circular cross section and arranged alternately in the same number as the dial, a fixed part 42 having a cross-sectional shape similar to the keyhole, and a key having a cross-sectional shape similar to the keyhole at the tip. A lock pin 44 having a rod portion 43
, the dial 38 is fitted into the recess 35a of the body so that it can rotate freely but not move in the axial direction, and the key rod part 43 of the lock pin 44 is slidably inserted into the lower part of the body 35. A coil spring 45 is wound through the recess formed in the head 34 between the flange 40 and the other end of the lock pin. The other end of the lock pin is inserted into a hole 46 provided at the top of the head 34 so as to be freely retractable.

In this way, the lock pin 44 is normally biased by the spring 45, and the rotating part 41 is biased to the position corresponding to the key hole of the dial. It hasn't even come out. Therefore, the attached item B in the form of an engine can be fitted into the recess 16 of the toy main body A in the form of a car with the lid C removed, as shown in FIG. 13. In order to facilitate positioning when mating, a recess 47 is provided in the lower part of the body 34 into which the convex wall 17a forming the notch 17 of the chest member can fit, and a rear part of the recess 16 of the chest member is provided. A recess 16a is formed in which the head 34 of the attached item can fit.

Numbers, letters, symbols, etc. are written on the outer periphery of each dial plate 39 of the combination lock, and when a predetermined letter is aligned on the top center surface, the keyholes of all dial plates are aligned in a straight line. The lock pin 44 is now movable in the axial direction. Therefore, when the folded attachment item B is fitted into the fitting recess 16 of the toy body A and the predetermined letters are matched, when the actuating piece 18 is pressed, the lock pin 44 is moved backward (towards the head) by the shaft 19. , and the rear end is inserted into the hole 21 of the chest member 2.
protrude backwards from

Therefore, as described above, since the head member 5, which is biased and held in the locking position shown in FIG. 6, is moved rearward to the release position as shown in FIG. 7, the flange 11 of the arm member The locking by the head member 5 is released and the arm member 3 is separated from the body member 1 in both outward directions by the biasing member 14 as shown in FIG. The head member protrudes forward by the force of the urging member 14 and is exposed to the front of the body member 1 in the shape of a robot's head. Further, the link between the flange 26 of the arm member and the groove 25 of the chest member and the link between the groove 33 of the arm member and the protrusion 31 of the leg member 4 are released. Therefore, when the toy main body A rotates the leg members 4 backward and stands up, the body member 1
has the appearance of the chest of a robot, the arm members 3 have the appearance of arms, and the leg members 4 have the appearance of legs, resulting in a robot form as shown in FIG.

When returning from the robot form to the car form, the back of the chest member 2 is brought into contact with the front of the body member 1, the actuating piece 18 is pushed down, and the head member 5 is held in the release position shown in FIG. When the member 3 is brought close to the body member 1 and the flange 26 is fitted into the groove 25, the operating piece 18 is released, and the deployment locking means is activated. Thereafter, the leg members 4 can be easily folded to return to the form of the vehicle.

Effects of this invention As described above, according to this invention, the deployment locking means is connected to the locking hole of the head member retractably attached to the body member, the shaft provided at the base end of the arm member, and the head member. Since it consists of a biasing member attached between the trunk members and a member that biases the arm members, the deployment locking means is not exposed to the outside of the toy and can be easily operated to lock and engage the deployment member. You can cancel the suspension.
