The shaft portion 32 has a spherical portion 33 at a lower end portion (an end portion on a connected side). *

As shown in FIG. 3A, the spherical portion 33 has groove portions 36 </ b> F and R (first mating portions) formed along the axis 35 that is the longitudinal direction of the shaft portion 32 on the outer surface. The groove portions 36F, R are composed of a pair of left and right groove portions 36F and one groove portion 36R. The pair of left and right groove portions 36 </ b> F are provided on the front side (one side) of the axis 35 in the spherical portion 33. Further, one groove portion 36R is provided on the rear side of the axis 35 (180 ° opposite to the pair of groove portions across the axis). *

(Composition of the knee lower part 40) The knee lower part 40 is formed in a cylindrical shape by a pair of front and rear divided bodies. That is, the knee upper portion 30 is configured by a front half portion 41F that constitutes a front portion of the knee upper portion 30, and a rear half portion 41R that is fitted to face the front half portion 41F. Each of the front half portion 41F and the rear half portion 41R has a spherical holding portion 42F and a holding portion 42R at the upper end. Each of the front half 41F and the rear half 41R has a positioning hole 43F and a positioning projection 43R. When connecting the upper knee portion 30 and the lower knee portion 40, the positioning hole 43F is aligned with the positioning projection 43R, and the spherical portion 33 is sandwiched from the front and rear by the holding portions 42F and R, so that the front half portion 41F and the rear half portion 41R are aligned. *

As a result, as shown in FIG. 3B, the spherical portion 33 is rotatably held at the upper end portion of the knee lower portion 40, so that when the knee lower portion 40 is arranged in series along the axis 35, The upper part 30 can be rotated about the axis 35. *

In this example, a notch 45 (see FIG. 3A) is further provided at the upper end of the rear half portion 41R, and the shaft portion 32 is fitted into the notch 45 so that the spherical portion 33 is used as a base point. The leg portion 20 is configured to be bendable. That is, the spherical portion 33 and the holding portions 42F, R, which are the connecting portions between the upper knee portion 30 and the lower knee portion 40, constitute a bendable knee joint. *

Further, as shown in FIG. 3A, the lower knee portion 40 has convex portions 46F and R (second mating portions) extending along the axis 35 on the inner surface. The convex portions 46F, R are composed of one convex portion 46F and a pair of convex portions 46R. One protrusion 46F is formed in a shape that can be fitted into one groove 36R in the direction along the axis 35, and is provided on the inner surface on the front half 41F side (one side of the axis). The pair of convex portions 46R are formed in a shape that can be fitted into the pair of groove portions 36F in the direction along the axis 35, and are on the rear half portion 41R side (on the opposite side 180 ° with respect to the single convex portion). Provided on the inner surface. *

A fixed position where the length of the leg portion 20 is fixed (cannot be adjusted) and the length of the leg portion 20 can be adjusted according to the relative positions of the convex portions 46F, R and the groove portions 36F, R. The movable position is set. That is, the lower knee portion 40 is fixed in such a manner that the movement of the lower knee portion 40 along the axis 35 is prevented when the groove portions 36F, R and the convex portions 46F, R are not meshed with each other in the rotation direction about the axis 35. When the groove portions 36F, R and the convex portions 46F, R are engaged with each other, the movable portion is allowed to move along the axis 35. *

In the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 4A, when the lower knee portion 40 faces in the direction in which the front half 41F is located on the front side, one groove 36R, one protrusion 46F, and a pair of grooves 36F and the pair of convex portions 46R are not meshed with each other, and the lower knee portion 40 is in a fixed position. On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 4B, when the lower knee portion 40 is rotated in the direction in which the front half portion 41F is positioned on the rear side, one groove portion 36R, one convex portion 46F, and a pair of groove portions 36F Since the pair of convex portions 46R are engaged with each other and engaged with each other, the lower knee portion 40 becomes a movable position. *

Next, the leg portion 20 formed by the groove portions 36F, R and the

convex portions

46F, 46R will be described with reference to FIGS. *

In FIG. 5, the knee lower portion 40 faces the direction in which the front half 41F is located on the front side, and is in a fixed position. In this state, the groove portions 36F, R and the convex portions 46F, R are not engaged with each other, and the convex portions 46F, R have an end face 47 (see FIG. 3A) on the upper side in the longitudinal direction on the outer surface of the spherical portion 33. By abutting, it functions as a stopper that prevents movement (upward movement) of the lower knee portion 40 along the axis 35. As a result, the length of the leg portion 20 is fixed, and the leg portion 20 is maintained in the most extended state. *

From this state, as shown in FIG. 6, when the lower knee portion 40 is rotated by 180 ° about the axis 35 so that the front half portion 41F is located on the rear side (arrow (1)), the grooves 36F and R are convex. The portions 46R and F mesh with each other (see FIG. 4B), and the lower knee portion 40 becomes the movable position. In this state, the movement (upward movement) of the lower knee portion 40 along the axis 35 is allowed. *

As a result, as shown in FIG. 7, the user moves the knee lower portion 40 upward so that the knee upper portion 30 is accommodated in the knee lower portion 40 while the knee lower portion 40 is accommodated in the cover portion 23. be able to. As a result, the leg 20 can be shortened from the length L1 to the length L2 (arrow (2)), or the leg 20 can be freely expanded and contracted (arrow (3)) in the range of the lengths L2 to L1. It becomes possible. At this time, the convex portions 46R, F function as a guide for smoothly moving the lower knee portion 40 along the axis 35 by being engaged with and guided by the grooves 36F, R. *

The lower knee 40
The knee lower portion 40 may be rotatable about the axis 35 in a state where the arm is moved upward, that is, in a state where the leg portion 20 is most contracted to the length L2. In this case, after the leg portion 20 is most contracted, the front half portion 41F of the lower knee portion 40 can be directed to the front side again.

In the form changing toy 10 in the present embodiment, when the lower knee 40 is in the movable position, the lower knee 40 can be moved along the axis 35 with respect to the upper knee 30. Thereby, the user can change the toy form 10 from one form (refer FIG. 1) to another form (refer FIG. 7) from which the length of the leg part 20 differs easily, and can enjoy it. *

On the other hand, the lower knee portion 40 is prevented from moving along the axis 35 when in the fixed position. For this reason, it can prevent that the shape change toy 10 returns to an original form naturally because a user rotates the knee lower part 40 to a fixed position. Moreover, the expansion-contraction part of the shape change toy 10 can be comprised with the simple structure which has the knee upper part 30 and the knee lower part 40 as a main element. *

Therefore, according to the present embodiment, it is possible to provide the form-changing toy 10 that can easily enjoy the form change and is difficult to return to the original form and that can be configured with a simple structure. *

In addition, since the convex portions 46F and R serve both as a stopper for preventing the movement of the lower knee 40 and a function as a guide for guiding the movement of the lower knee 40, the structure can be further simplified. Can do. *

As mentioned above, although this invention was demonstrated using embodiment, it cannot be overemphasized that the technical scope of this invention is not limited to the range as described in the said embodiment. Various modifications or improvements can be added to the above embodiment. *

For example, the number and arrangement of the convex portions 46F, R and the groove portions 36F, R can be arbitrarily changed, and the convex portions and the groove portions are respectively provided in at least two locations of the first member and the second member, Only the corresponding convex portions and groove portions are fitted to each other to allow sliding of the first member and the second member, and the non-corresponding convex portions and groove portions are not fitted to each other, and the first member and the second member are fitted. There is no particular limitation as long as it has a shape that prevents sliding. In the present embodiment, the first mating portion is configured by the grooves 36F and R, and the second mating portion is configured by the convex portions 46F and R. However, the first mating portion is configured by the convex portion, You may comprise a 2nd mating part by a groove part. *

Moreover, although the form which provides an expansion-contraction part in a leg part was demonstrated in this Embodiment, it is not restricted to this, In addition to the leg part 20, the neck part 13 which connects the trunk | drum 11 and the head 15, and the arm part 12 It can be applied to any part of the doll body to be expanded and contracted, such as the waist of the trunk 11. In the embodiment, an example in which the present invention is applied to a doll body has been described. However, the present invention can be applied to various models imitating animals, monsters, robots, vehicles, and the like in addition to doll bodies.
