Then, the spherical ball part 36 of the joint body 30 is attracted to the holding mechanism of the toy and the supporting parts of the exchangers are attracted to the spherical body receiving part of the joint body 30, by which various kinds of the exchangers are attracted to the toy and the forms thereof are variously changed.

Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a toy in which an exchange body is detachably attached to a main body by using a magnet.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art FIG. 12 is an exploded perspective view showing an example of this type of toy. The holding mechanism 10 is configured by adsorbing and fixing the plate-like magnet 11 to the yokes (yokes) 12a and 12b from the front and rear thereof. Two yokes 12a, 1
A plurality of recesses 13 capable of supporting the sphere are formed in 2b. The holding mechanism 10 is covered with, for example, a cover (not shown) that presents the body of the robot, and an opening is provided in the cover so that only the concave portion is exposed.

An exchange member, that is, a head portion 21, arm portions 22a and 22b, and leg portions 23a and 23b are detachably attached to the holding mechanism 10. Each of the exchange bodies is provided with a spherical body portion 24 having a diameter capable of being fitted into the recess 13 of the holding mechanism 10. At least a part of the spherical portion 24 is made of a material that is attracted by a magnetic force, that is, a ferromagnetic material.

With the above structure, the spherical portion 24 of each exchange body
By adsorbing to the recess 13 of the holding mechanism 10, it can be configured to have, for example, a robot form as shown in FIG.

Further, since the concave portion 13 of the holding mechanism 10 and the spherical portion 24 of each exchange body attracted thereto form a joint mechanism, each exchange body can be swung with the spherical portion 24 as a fulcrum. It is possible to change the direction by rotating the exchange body itself.

If the spherical portion 24 is pulled away from the recess 13 of the holding mechanism 10 against the magnetic force of the magnet, the exchange body can be easily detached from the holding mechanism 10. Then, by exchanging the exchanging body adsorbed to the holding mechanism 10 with a exchanging body (for example, a weapon or the like) showing another form having the similar spherical body portion 24, the robot can be changed to an arbitrary form. it can.

The conventional toys as described above are advantageous in that the exchange body can be easily attached and detached and exchanged, and the posture of the exchange body can be changed.

[0008]

However, in the conventional mechanism, the number of exchangers that can be adsorbed to the holding mechanism 10 at a time is limited by the number of the concave portions 24 provided in the holding mechanism 10. There is something unsatisfactory. Also,
Although the exchange body can turn and rotate about the recess 24 as a fulcrum, the shape change is limited because the holding mechanism 10 having the recess 24 is integrated. The present invention has been made in view of the above circumstances, and an object thereof is to provide a toy that allows a variety of shape changes to be enjoyed by adsorbing a large number of exchangers to a holding mechanism at one time. is there. Another object of the present invention is to provide a toy that can enjoy a variety of shape changes by changing the mutual positions of the holding mechanism and the exchange body.
