The left and right can parts 4.4 are rotatably connected to the left and right can parts 3.3 to form an urban form.

The center body 1 is hollow and has an approximately rectangular parallelepiped shape, and an attached part 5 such as a building is installed at the end of the upper surface ib so that the entire body can be turned into a road or a runway, and a dinosaur shape is installed on the lower surface 1c. It is provided with a plurality of protrusions 6 that serve as dorsal fins, and serves as a support part in an urban form. Note that the locking part 5a of the accessory part 5 provided on the top surface 1b
also serves as a locking part for the vehicle 7. Further, the other end side portion ld of the upper surface 1b is inclined as shown in FIG. 7, so that the vehicle 7 can run naturally. As will be described later, this part 1d will be the tail when in dinosaur form, and Figure 1 shows the expansion play) 1e in an expanded state.
A pair of small wheels 35, 35 are provided at the rear end so that they can be folded back.

Furthermore, the connecting end 8a of the output shaft 8 of the drive device is exposed to both side surfaces 1a, 1a of the center body 1, so that accessories 9 for use in urban mode, such as a radar device, can be attached. The connecting end 8a is a cylindrical component as shown, and has fan-shaped convex portions 10a and 10b that are not axially symmetrical and have different opening angles on the outer end surface.

The building can part 2 is integrated with the head 11 of the dinosaur form and attached to the tip of the central body l, and the building group 12.12 also serves as the wing part in the dinosaur form. That is, the attachment of the head 11 to the central body l resembles the neck of a dinosaur, and the building group 12.
Reference numeral 12 faces in the opposite direction to the head 11, and is supported on a shaft so as to be able to stand up or fall down (see FIG. 4). Moreover, this building group 12 has a storage space in which a rod-shaped body 13 can be taken in and taken out (see FIGS. 1 and 2).

The left and right can parts 3.3 each have magnets 14a and 14b at two locations.
are provided at corresponding positions, and are journalled on both sides 1a and 1b of the center body 1 so that it can be folded and adsorbed with the center body 1 in between. Further, this can part 3 is provided with a connecting part 15 passing through it at a position corresponding to the connecting end 8a of the center body 1 when folded. As shown in FIGS. 6 and 7, this connecting portion 15 is a cylindrical part similar to the connecting end 8a of the central body 1, and, contrary to the connecting end 8a, is a fan-shaped part that is not axially symmetrical and has a different opening angle. Recesses 16a and 16b are formed on the outer end surface. Further, the outer end surface on the lower surface side is provided with an eccentric pin 15a forming a crank and is connected to the projecting can part (leg part) 4, as shown in FIG. Moreover, two types of platform bodies 17a and 17b for expansion are attached to the upper surface side of the can part 3 so as to be rotatable, respectively, and accessories 18a and 18b in the urban form such as buildings are attached to predetermined positions. It is installed. Further, on the lower surface of the can part 3, a dinosaur-shaped arm part 19, 19 is rotatably supported.

The left and right projecting can portions 4.4 are rotatably connected via an eccentric pin 15a of a connecting portion 15 of the left and right can portions 3.3. That is, this projecting can part 4 serves as a leg part in a multilayered form, and has a leg part 20 at the center position in the longitudinal direction, and is approximately symmetrical so that it can be folded around the leg part 20 to form a leg part. It is formed into a shape. The attachment parts 21a and 21b to the can part 3 have a cylindrical shape as shown in the figure, and the eccentric pin 15a protrudes into the attachment part 21a on the can part 3 side, and the outer attachment part 21b is attached to the eccentric pin 15a. The lock pin 22 inserted through the hole is engaged with the lock pin 22. These eccentric pins 15a
The end surface of the lock pin 22 has the same configuration as the concave-convex engagement between the connecting end 8a and the connecting portion 15 described above. Note that the mounting portion 21a and the eccentric pin 15a are in a loosely fitted state, and a spring 23 is inserted into the eccentric pin 15a, and its biasing force presses the mounting portion 21a against the other mounting portion 21b to rotate smoothly. It is meant to be communicated.

As shown in FIG. 6, the drive device includes a motor 24, a gear group 25, and an output shaft 8 housed in a case 27, and the connecting ends 8a are attached to both ends of the output shaft 8 via springs 26. . Note that this spring 26 is for absorbing a shock when it is applied to the output end 8a.

Further, the switch S for this driving device is as shown in FIG. 9, and is provided on the lower surface 1c of the central body l. That is, as mentioned above, the two protrusions 6a that become the dorsal fin of the dinosaur form,
6b is a push button, and a conductive metal plate 27 is bent into a U-shape and connected between the two. Then, when one terminal 28a is in constant contact with this plate material 27 and the other terminal 28b faces into the opening 29 provided in the plate material 27, and the protrusion 6b on the opening 29 side is pushed in, it becomes ON, and the protrusion 6a on the other side is pressed. It is designed so that it turns off when the power is turned off. Note that the casing 30 is provided with a groove 31, and the two protrusions 32 provided on the plate material 27
．． 32 can be fitted alternately, so that a so-called click state can be obtained when the switch S is operated.

The accessory 9 is in the form of a radar device as described above, and the attachment part 33 for the connecting end 8a of the center body 1 is provided with recesses 33a and 33b like the connecting part 15 as shown in the figure.
A switch pin 34 connected to the connecting end 8a and protruding from the upper surface 1b of the central body 1 can be used to start and stop the drive.

Next, the change from the city form shown in FIG. 1 to the dinosaur form shown in FIGS. 4 and 5 will be explained.

First, the building-shaped accessories 18a, 18b are removed from the brat foam bodies 17a, 17b, and the brat foam bodies 17a, 17b are stored on the left and right can parts 3.3 (as indicated by the arrows in FIG. 1). Then, the left and right overhanging can parts 4.4 are folded in half (indicated by the arrows in Fig. 1), and the two mounting parts 21a,
21b and are integrated with the lock pin 22.

As a result, the shape becomes approximately as shown in Figure 2, so the change to the dinosaur shape is temporarily stopped. Then, the building-shaped attachment 5.5 and the building group 12.12 are rotated forward in the figure and knocked down, the radar device-shaped attachment 9 is removed, and the missile launch pad-shaped attachment 36 is moved to the output end 8a. The center body 1 is attached by folding up the plate le provided at the end ld of the center body 1.
It is stored on the upper surface ib of the gun, and the gun mount 37 is exposed. In addition, if you pull out the rod-shaped body 13 housed inside the building group 12, the building group 12 will appear as if it were a gigantic electronic cannon, and the whole building group will take the form of a base to resist the invasion of foreign enemies. Add even more interest.

The accessory 9 is designed to be combined with the building-shaped accessory 5, the radar device-shaped accessory 9, etc. to form another tank-shaped toy as shown in Figure 1O. 5 is provided with Miki columnar parts 38a, 38b, and 38c, and a small lamp 39 is provided at the tip of the central columnar part 38b so that it can be turned on and off by a built-in battery (not shown).

From the above configuration of the base, the overhanging can parts 4, 4 are pulled back to a predetermined position as shown by the arrows in FIG. 2, and positioned by a positioning means (not shown) provided between the can part 3 and the can part 3. and,
Raise the fallen building group 12.12 again and remove the accessory 9.
When the vehicle 7 is removed and the vehicle 7 is attached to the locking portion 5a, the state shown in FIG. 3 is obtained.

Then, when the left and right can parts 3.3 are rotated and folded with the center body 1 in between, the corresponding magnets 14a and 14b of both city parts 3.3 attract each other.

Finally, rotate the building can part 2 in the opposite direction so that the head 11
If the building group 12.12, which is positioned on the upper surface lb side and located on the lower surface lc side of the central body 1, is brought down and placed on the protrusion 6 as shown in FIG. 4, a dinosaur form will be realized.

In this dinosaur form, in order to walk on its stance, the pair of small wheels 35, 35 are reversely rotated to support the two legs 20, 20 at four points (Fig. 4), and the switch S is operated to drive the dinosaur. All you have to do is turn on the device, and the dinosaur will...
The user walks while swinging out the extended can part 4.4, that is, the left and right legs, alternately forward. As shown in FIG. 6, the arm portions 19.19 alternately move up and down in conjunction with the movement of the legs due to the eccentric pin 15a, thereby waving the arms. For this reason, it appears as if a real dinosaur is moving.

At this time, the connecting end 8a of the center body l and the connecting part 15 of the can part 3
In some cases, the engagement of the concave and convex portions with the concave and convex portions may not be done securely. In this case, the connecting end 8a is connected to the output shaft 8 by the spring 26.
Since the connection end 8a is attached via
Even if it rotates, it is in a state of idle rotation, so that the overhanging can part 4
In other words, the driving force is not transmitted to the legs, but the output shaft 8
When the connecting end 8a rotates, the connecting end 8a also rotates, so after a short period of time, the convex portion 10a and the concave portion 1 of both
The convex portion 10b 6a and the concave portion 16b fit together, and driving force is transmitted in a normal state.

Here, as described above, the convex portions 10a, 10b and the concave portion 16
a and 16b are arranged so that their respective opening angles are a pair. For this reason, the convex portion 10a with a large opening angle cannot enter into the concave portion 16b with a small opening angle, so that a constant combination can always be obtained.

Note that the operation from dinosaur mode to city mode or base mode is the reverse of the above. Further, the shape of each component is not limited to the illustrated example, and various shapes such as a city or a dinosaur can be adopted. In addition to dinosaurs, it is also possible to adopt a three-dimensional form that is completely different from a city.

[Effect] The shape-changing toy according to the present invention is as described above, so by transforming a flat and static structure called a "city", it can be transformed into a three-dimensional and dynamic structure such as a "dinosaur". It is possible to change things in a short time, and not only can you enjoy the difference between the two forms, but also the process of changing, and it has the effect of making it extremely interesting as a toy.
