Description

[Detailed description of the invention] [Technical field to which the invention pertains] This invention relates to a changing mechanism of a toy in which a part of the surface changes in two ways, and the shape of a part of the surface changes instantly with one touch. The aim is to provide toys that are designed to

[Means for Achieving the Purpose] In order to achieve the above-mentioned object, this invention uses a biasing member that applies rotational force and pressing force to make a rotating body that forms part of the surface of the toy rotatable and movable back and forth within the hollow toy body. The rotating body, which is locked by the pressing force and the locking means, is moved backward by an external force applied by the player to release the locking and allow the rotating body to momentarily rotate by the urging member. This is how it was done.

[Embodiment of this invention] Next, an embodiment of this invention will be described based on the drawings.

The toy related to this invention is a type of figurative toy whose surface changes according to the player's actions, such as a hollow toy body A having an opening 1 on the outer surface and having an external shape such as food whose external shape changes according to the action of eating. , rotatable at the opening in the toy body, and
A rotary body B that is provided to move forward and backward; and a rotary body B that is provided in the toy body, one end of which is connected to the toy body, and the other end of which is connected to the rotary body to apply a rotational force to the rotary body and a pressing force in one direction of the opening. It is composed of a biasing member C.

The rotating body B is formed almost like a drum, and one side b ₁ has the same appearance as the surface of the toy body, and the other side b ₂ has an appearance different from that appearance, for example, a bite like when biting into food. It has the appearance of marks,
It has a rotating shaft 2 that protrudes in both left and right directions, and cams 3 and 4 are fixed to both ends of the rotating shaft, respectively.

One end of a coil spring 5, which is a biasing member, is connected to the rotating shaft 2 of the rotating body using one of the cams 4.

In order to facilitate molding, the toy main body is molded into two halves, an upper half _A1 and a lower half _A2 , and one of the toy bodies is, for example, the opening 1 in the hollow interior of the lower half _A2 .
Bearings 6 and 7 for receiving the rotating shaft 2 of the rotating body B are formed on both left and right sides of the rotating body B.

One of the bearings 7 has a width slightly larger than the diameter of the rotating shaft 2, allowing it to move forward and backward with respect to the opening 1 of the rotating shaft. Further, a notch 9 is provided at the rear end of the bearing plate 8, and the free end 5a of the biasing member 5 is sandwiched and locked in the notch. A barrier 10 is provided to prevent the end of the locking member from coming off, and a presser plate 1 facing the bearing plate ₈ is provided inside the upper half A1.
1 is provided.

Connecting parts 12 and 13 are provided on the inner opposing surfaces of the upper half part A ₁ and the lower half part A ₂ so as to abut the two halves and connect them by screwing. and,
After the shaft 2 is fitted into the bearings 6 and 7, when the upper half and the lower half are coupled as described above, the shaft 2 is fixed in the bearing by the retaining plates 11 and 11A of the upper half.

One cam 3 of the rotating body B has a fan shape as shown in FIG. 4A and FIG.
7, the one cam 3 engages the two upper and lower locking surfaces 14, 1 provided inside the bearing 6.
It is now compatible with 5. As a result, the rotating body B moves from the position where the first cam surface 3a is stopped by the upper locking surface 14 to the position where the second cam surface 3b is stopped by the lower locking surface 15.
In other words, within the angle range from the position where one side of the rotating body b ₁ faces the outside through the opening 1 of the toy body to the position where the other side b ₂ faces the outside from the opening 1. It is said that it can be rotated.

The second cam 4, which is fixed to the rotating shaft 2 on the opposite side to the first cam 3, is formed into a mountain shape, as shown in FIG. 4B. And rotating body B
A locking portion 16 is provided protruding from the inner circumferential wall of the toy body that corresponds to the cam 4 when the cam 4 is fitted onto the shafts 6 and 7. In this case, the biasing member 5 applies the seventh force to the rotating body B.
In the figure, it is mounted so as to apply a rotational force in the counterclockwise direction and a pressing force in the left direction, that is, in the direction toward the outside of the opening 1 of the toy body.

With the above configuration, when the upper half A ₁ and the lower half A ₂ of the toy main body A are combined, the portion of the rotating body B facing outward from the toy main body opening 1 is pressed clockwise in FIG. The first side of the rotating body b ₁
When the finger is gently pulled away with the finger facing outward from the opening, the rotating shaft 2 of the rotating body B is brought to the front end of the bearing 7 by the pressing force of the biasing member 5, and the second cam 4 is thereby moved. The claw is locked to the locking part 16,
The rotating body stops in a state where reverse rotation is prevented. Therefore, the surface of the toy main body other than the opening 1 and the surface b ₁ of the rotating body have a similar uniform appearance, so that the toy as a whole has a satisfactory appearance.

When the rotating body B is slightly pushed with teeth or lips through the opening 1, that is, when an external force sufficient to overcome the forward force or pressing force of the biasing member 5 is applied, the rotating body B rotates as shown in FIG. The rotation axis 2 of the body is a bearing 7
As the second cam 4 moves backward, the claw of the second cam 4 is disengaged from the locking portion 16. Therefore, the rotating body rapidly rotates counterclockwise in FIG. 7 due to the rotational force of the biasing member, and the second outer surface b ₂ of the rotating body is visible from the opening 1 to the outside. In the state shown in Figure C, the second cam surface of the first cam 3 hits the lower locking surface 15 and is stopped. Therefore, the surface of the toy body instantly takes on a different appearance at the opening 1. That is, as shown in Fig. 1, when a donut with a satisfactory external shape is brought to the mouth and a slight external force is applied to the rotating body with the tips of the teeth or lips, the rotating body instantly rotates and the donut opens into the opening 1. Since bite marks appear, it appears as if the player has bitten imitation food.

Therefore, infants and the like can prepare various types of simulated foods, imitate eating them, and enjoy the real feeling of eating by the instantaneous changes in the food toys.

The above embodiment is an example in which the surface of the toy body changes according to the player's movements, and is applied to a donut, which is a food toy. It can be applied not only to food, etc. in the shape of
It can be similarly applied to imitations of objects whose external shape or surface changes instantaneously due to some kind of human action.

[Effects of this invention] As mentioned above, according to this invention, by applying a small external force to a simple structure, the external shape and surface change instantly, and the user can enjoy the changes, making it possible to use play dolls such as children. It can be used for play, etc. to perform realistic simulated play.
