Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] The present invention relates to a shape-changing toy, more specifically, a toy that is equipped with a mouth, a mouth mechanism, and a movable member, and that changes its shape by folding and unfolding the movable member, and furthermore, the movable member is locked. This invention relates to a shape-changing toy that becomes operable on condition that a mechanism is released.

In general, shape-changing toys that change from one form to another by folding and unfolding multiple movable members are
Many items are designed with the purpose of enjoying the changes in form and the process of folding and unfolding. However, recently, there has been a desire to develop toys that are even more interesting by adding some conditions.

This invention was developed in view of the above circumstances, and is particularly a form-changing toy that is provided with a locking mechanism that locks the operation of at least two movable members, and that allows the movable members to operate on condition that the mechanism is released. The purpose is to propose.

An example of implementing the present invention will be described below with reference to one drawing.

In the figure, symbol A indicates a shape-changing toy.

This shape-changing toy A changes from the key-shaped shape shown in FIG.
It reversibly changes into the robot-like form shown in the figure.
A lock part 1 and a movable member 2 provided in this lock part 1.
The device lock part 1 is comprised of a lock body 4 and a movable lock member 5 rotatably provided on the lock body 4, and the long body 4 has a lock mechanism linked to the movable piece 6. Furthermore, one end of the U-shaped locking means 7 is irremovably fitted into the locking member 5, and the free end is fitted with a shaft 11 (FIG. 4) provided on the lock body 4. It is provided so that it can be fitted into the fitting hole 10 of.

In addition, the lock body 4 has three movable pieces 6a, 6.
b, 6c are arranged in parallel, and these movable pieces 6a, 6b, 6c
A through hole 12 is formed in the center of the through hole 12.
A second shaft body 11 passes through it. ”-Each movable Komaro a,
A plurality of numbers are displayed on the outer peripheral surfaces of 6b and 6c, and a 5th number is displayed on the inner surface of the through hole 12 corresponding to any one of these numbers.
A notch 15'' shown in the figure is formed. This results in
In each movable piece 6a, 6b, 6c, when the numbers corresponding to the notches 15 line up in a row, the notches 15 inside the through hole 12 are also formed in a line of grooves. Fifth
In the case of the figure, when the cutout part 15 of the movable piece 6C in figure (a) is rotated upward in the figure, the cutout part 15 is formed in a continuous groove shape as shown in figure (b). On the other hand, since the notch groove 11a is formed in the upper part of the shaft body 11 of the lock body 4,
The continuous notch 15 communicates with the fitting hole 10 of the shaft body 11.

A head body 20 is disposed on the central movable piece 6b as shown in FIG. 4, and the shaft body 11 is loosely fitted into an elongated hole 21 formed in the head body 20. And the head body 2
0 slides along a guide wall 22 formed on the movable piece 6b. One end of the guide wall 22 is open, so that
The head body 20 can freely move in and out from the opening 23. Therefore, in this movable top 6b, the inner gap portion P of the elongated hole 21 corresponds to the notch 15 when the head body 20 is housed in the movable top 6b. In addition, the opening 2
3, a part 24 of the outer periphery of the movable top 6b is rotatably pivoted.

normally covers the opening 23.

On the other hand, an engaging protrusion 16, 16, 16 is formed projecting from the free end of the second long locking means 7. The height of these engaging protrusions 16, 16, 16 is such that when the free end of the locking means 7 is fitted into the fitting hole 10, each top protrudes outward from the notched groove 11a of the shaft body 11. It shall be within the range of

”- According to the configuration described above, the free end of the locking means 7 is fitted into the fitting hole l.
After fitting the movable pieces 6a, 6b, 6c to the shaft body 1
When the movable pieces 6a, 6b, 6 are rotated appropriately around the frame 1 and placed in positions where the respective notches 15 do not match, each movable piece 6a, 6b, 6
Since the notches 15, P, 15 of c are not formed in a line of grooves, the engaging protrusion 16 engages with one or more movable pieces, and the free end cannot be pulled out.

Only when a predetermined number match is made, the locking means 7
can be extracted. Then, only when the locking means 7 is pulled out, the locking member 5 can be rotated relative to the lock body 4.

Next, movable arm members 2 are provided on both sides of the lock body 4.
a, 2a are provided. This arm member 2a is a structure in which an upper arm part 30 and a lower arm part 31 are rotatably connected via a hinge 32, and the base of the arm part 30 is rotatable on both sides of the lock body 4. It is set in. A fitting hole 10 is opened in this base. The lower arm portion 31 is normally housed in four parts between the lock body 4 and the lock member 5.

Next, on the front side of the lock member 5, a movable leg member 3a,
3a is provided. The leg members 3a, 3a are formed by rotatably connecting an upper leg part 35 and a lower leg part 36 via a hinge, and the base of the upper leg part 35 is attached to the front surface of the locking member 5 by a hinge (not shown). are connected for vertical and horizontal rotation. As such a hinge, for example, one formed by forming a vertical rotation axis and a horizontal rotation axis into a T-shape may be used. Further, a foot portion 37 is provided at the end of the lower first skin portion 36.
is rotatably provided.

Next, the manner of use of the shape-changing toy A having the above configuration will be explained.

First, in order to develop the conical shape 8 shown in FIG. 1 and change it into the robot-like form shown in FIG. extract it from This can be done by matching predetermined numbers, as described above. Next, by releasing the locking mechanism, the locking member 5 is rotated as shown in FIG. Also, the arm member 2 and the leg member 3 are @3
It is unfolded as shown in the figure, and the foot portion 37 is folded forward. Furthermore, a portion 24 of the outer circumferential portion of the lock body 4 is opened by the movable lever of the lock body 4, and the head body 20 is pulled out from inside. This allows the third
As shown in the figure, it is possible to obtain a toy having a robot-like shape in which the lock body 4 is the waist part and the lock member 5 is the waist part.

When changing from the form shown in Figure 3 to the form shown in Figure 1,
- It is possible to fold each movable member in the reverse order as described.

As mentioned above, the shape-changing toy A is equipped with a plurality of movable members, but in order to operate these movable members, the lock mechanism must first be released. Unless the locking mechanism is released, the locking member 5 cannot be configured as a waist portion, and therefore a robot-like form cannot be obtained. Therefore, matching the numbers of the movable pieces that release the locking mechanism becomes an important factor in changing the form, adding an element of interest never seen before. In addition, the above-mentioned toy A can be used not only as a mere toy but also as a key, so it has practical value as a key for bicycles, desks, etc.

Note that unlocking the lock mechanism is not necessarily limited to matching numbers. It may also be a combination of pictures, symbols, etc. Also,
The locking means may also be of any type as long as it locks at least two movable members, as shown in the illustrated example, and does not need to be U-shaped, nor does it necessarily need to be configured as a key.

As explained above in detail, the shape-changing toy according to the present invention is provided with a lock part and a plurality of movable members that can be folded and expanded, and the long part has at least two BT movable lock members and these IIJ It is provided with a lock mechanism that locks the operation of the movable lock member, and a plurality of movable pieces that control the operation of the mechanism are linked to the lock mechanism described in section 2. Therefore, the movable γfI (
The movement of the material becomes possible, and therefore, the number matching of the movable pieces divided by the movable pieces becomes an important factor in changing the form, and it adds an element of interest that has never been seen before, so it is possible to fold the pieces wider,
It is possible to obtain an interesting form-changing toy that is different from a toy that only unfolds.
