Definitions
- the present invention relates to a deformed toy formed by connecting blocks with a rubber string.
- Patent Documents 1 and 2 Conventionally, there are block-type deformable toys for humanoid robots shown in Patent Documents 1 and 2 below.
- These toys basically form a deformed toy by gathering blocks of regular hexahedron shape by the urging force of a rubber cord. That is, these deformable toys can be deformed into a state in which the outer shape is folded so as to have a box shape and a state in which the outer shape is extended so as to have a humanoid robot shape.
- the conventional block-type deformable toys emphasize making the humanoid robot take various postures in order to enhance playability. Therefore, in many cases, a hexahedral block is used, and the angle formed by each surface forming the block is basically 90 degrees. When such a hexahedral block is used, the blocks in contact with each other can be freely rotated, and the humanoid robot can be made to take various postures. For this reason, for example, the posture of the head can be turned in an impossible direction in reality, and since this is allowed, there is no idea of enhancing the design.
- the present invention has been made in view of such circumstances, and provides a block-type deformable toy capable of realizing a complicated shape of design, for example, various animal shapes while ensuring the degree of freedom of folding.
- the purpose is a block-type deformable toy capable of realizing a complicated shape of design, for example, various animal shapes while ensuring the degree of freedom of folding.
- Another purpose is to make a block-type deformable toy that can easily position the blocks to realize a cohesive outer shape when the block-type deformable toy composed of blocks having a complicated shape is folded. To provide.
- a block-type deformed toy that expresses the shape of an object by combining multiple blocks. Adjacent blocks are urged by elastic cords in the direction of contact with each other. The adjacent blocks are expressed as being folded so that the outer shape is compact by changing the positional relationship between the adjacent blocks so that different surfaces are in contact with each other against the urging force of the elastic cord material. It can be transformed into a stretched state so that it has the shape of an object. Further, Of the plurality of blocks, at least two blocks are configured so that their two surfaces are in contact with each other at the same time, whereby the rotation around the elastic cord material is restricted.
- a block-type deformable toy characterized by being.
- This block-type deformable toy is a block-type deformable toy characterized in that at least the head, body, and feet are represented by a combination of a plurality of blocks.
- the folded state is a block-type deformable toy characterized in that the outer shape is configured to be box-shaped.
- An animal-type block-type deformable toy characterized in that the angles formed by the two surfaces are 30 degrees to 170 degrees and 190 degrees to 330 degrees.
- the block-type deformable toy is characterized in that the above two blocks have two or more states in which the two surfaces are in contact with each other at the same time.
- the above two or more states are block-type deformable toys characterized in that they are in a folded state and an extended state, respectively.
- the two blocks are blocks constituting the head and the body, and the block-type deformable toy is characterized in that the displacement of the head in the rotation direction with respect to the body is regulated by the above configuration.

- FIG. It shows the bottom view.
- At least two blocks out of the plurality of blocks have a state in which their two surfaces are in contact with each other at the same time, whereby the rotation around the elastic cord member is performed. It is configured so that movement is regulated.
- the two blocks are a block 2a constituting the head 2 and a block 3a constituting the upper chest of the body 3.
- the lower surfaces 10 and 11 (two surfaces referred to in the claims) of the block 2a constituting the head 2 are tilted at an angle ⁇ of 160 degrees (see FIG. 14), and the body portion.
- the upper surfaces 12 and 13 that abut with the two surfaces of the head at the same time are 200 degrees (360 degrees minus the angle 160 degrees formed by the two lower surfaces 10 and 11 of the head 2). It is formed at an angle of (value).
- the extension line of the rubber cord member 8a can be seen from the state where the two surfaces are in contact with each other.
- the two surfaces 10, 11, 12, and 13 interfere with each other, and the blocks 2a and 3a of the above 2 are separated from each other (the direction indicated by the arrow ⁇ ). It will be driven against the urging force of the rubber cord member 8a.
- the rotation in the direction indicated by the arrow ⁇ is restricted, and when the hand is released, the position returns to the original position, that is, the position where the two surfaces 10, 11, 12, and 13 come into contact with each other. It is configured.
- FIG. 15 is a plan view of FIG. 13A
- FIG. 16 is a rear view.
- 17A to 21 are views showing a state in which the three blocks 2a, 3a, and 3b shown in FIG. 13A are folded.
- the head 2 is folded as shown in FIG. 17A.
- two surfaces 15 and 16 that mesh with the two surfaces 10 and 11 formed on the head 2 are formed on the front surface of the block corresponding to the upper chest of the body 3 and these are formed with each other.
- the state of contact with each other is configured. That is, two adjacent surfaces 15 and 16 are formed on the upper chest of the body at an angle of 200 degrees so that the two surfaces 10/11 and 15/16 are in contact with each other. It has become.
- the head 2 is formed with slits 18 along the vertical direction in the back of the head. Further, the body portion 3 is formed with slits 19 that open in the directions of the upper surfaces 12 and 13 and the front surfaces 15 and 16. As a result, the rubber cord member 8a is routed without interfering with the blocks 2a and 3a, and as shown in FIG. 17B, the head 2 can be folded.
- a block 3b constituting the lower abdomen of the body is attached to the lower part of the block 3a to which the head 2 is attached to the body 3.
- the other end of the rubber cord member 8a is fixed to the block 3b.
- the two blocks 3a and 3b are in contact with each other on one surface 20 and 21, and in the state shown in FIGS. 13A and 13B, they can freely rotate around the rubber cord member 8a (arrow ⁇ ). In this respect, the rotation angle is not restricted because the head 2 is not in contact with each other on two surfaces as in the case of the head 2.
- the rear portion (buttocks) of the block 3b constituting the lower abdomen is provided with an inclined surface 22 inclined by about 15 degrees with respect to the direction of the rubber cord member 8a, and the abdomen of the block 3a constituting the body.
- An inclined surface 23 having the same angle is provided at a portion corresponding to the above. Then, when folding, the blocks 2 and 23 are brought into contact with each other so that the block 3b is urged upward (in the direction of arrow ⁇ ) along the inclination and brought into contact with the head 2 (2a). , The lower surface (shown in FIGS. 18A and 18B) when folded can be made flush with each other.

- the two blocks in which the two surfaces are in contact with each other at the same time are the block 26a forming the head 26 and the block 27a forming the upper end of the neck 27, as shown in FIGS. 13A and 13B.
- the displacement of the head 26 with respect to the neck 27 in the rotation direction is regulated. That is, in this modified example, the lower surfaces 28 and 29 (two surfaces referred to in the claims) of the block 26a constituting the head 26 are tilted at an angle ⁇ of 30 degrees (see FIG. 22B), and the neck portion 27.
- the upper surfaces 30 and 31 that abut with the two surfaces of the head at the same time are 330 degrees (360 degrees minus the angle of 30 degrees formed by the two lower surfaces 28 and 29 of the head 22). ) Is formed at an angle.
- the angle formed by the two surfaces of the block on the side having the sharpened portion is 30 degrees to 170 degrees. , 190 degrees to 330 degrees is preferable.
