Description

[Detailed description of the invention] Technical field to which the invention pertains This invention relates to a shape-changing toy that reversibly changes shape from a vehicle toy such as an airplane, a rocket, or a Shinkansen train to a robot toy.

Purpose of this invention This invention is a form-changing toy that has a simple structure and can change from one toy form to another toy form and maintain that form by almost only rotating its constituent members. More specifically, due to the combination of the outward elasticity of the spherical head of the pilot of a toy vehicle and the hood of the window, a half turn of the front head automatically lowers the pilot and exposes the robot's face. It is an object of the present invention to provide a shape-changing toy whose rotation is fixed in that state.

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

Examples of vehicle toys include those having a bullet-shaped top for convenient rotation, such as airplanes, rockets, and Shinkansen trains.

The illustrated example is an example of a case where the airplane has the form of an airplane, and the top part 1 of the airplane and the side members 2 provided on both left and right sides of the top part are rotated around the axis of the body part 3 of the toy body. By rotating the engine part 5 provided at the rear end of the tail fin 4 provided on both left and right sides of the rear part of the engine part, the form of the toy airplane shown in Fig. 1 changes to the form of the toy robot shown in Fig. 2. This is what I did.

This will be explained in more detail based on the drawings from FIG. 3 onwards.

The leading end 1 is formed into a substantially hollow bullet shape by abutting two upper and lower members 1A and 1B and connecting them with screws or the like. The upper member 1A has a window 7 with a hood 6. The hood 6 covers the rear upper surface of the window 7. Further, the lower member 1B has a front wheel 8 that projects outward. The ends of the combined upper and lower members are fitted with a cap 9 to strengthen and decorate the front end.

The side members 2 provided on both the left and right sides of the top part are
It has the shape of a square rod or a circular rod, and is rotatably connected at one end to a shaft 10 that projects from both sides of the nose section at right angles to the axis of the nose head, and on one side is attached to an airplane's engine section, ailerons, or It has the appearance of a rocket launcher, and on the other side, it has the appearance of a robot arm.
A hole 11 that opens at the free end of the side member 2 and extends in the longitudinal direction is provided, and a hand 12 is provided in and out of the hole.

The body part 3 has a neck part 13 integrally at its front end, and a head part 1 of an airplane pilot is attached to the neck part from one side.
4 is biased so that it always protrudes and can be moved in and out, and a robot face pattern 15 is displayed on the opposite side. The body 3 is formed by being divided into two upper and lower members 3A and 3B, as illustrated in FIG.
A hemispherical pilot head 14 having an outward flange at the lower end is provided in a hole 18 provided in the neck 13A of the upper member 3A.
are fitted in such a way that they can be inserted and removed freely with their convex surfaces facing outward, and the upper and lower members 3A and 3B of the body are butted together,
By fitting the other end of the coil spring 17 into the concave surface of the pilot's head, the pilot's head is provided to protrude and retract from the neck.

A rear wheel 20 is rotatably attached to the lower member 3B of the body 3 by a shaft 19 supported on both the left and right sides. 21 is a gear fixed to the shaft 19, and an elastic plate 22 fixed to the inside of the upper member 3B.
By contacting the free end of the gear with the gear, the elastic plate intermittently hits the teeth and makes noise when the rear wheel is rotated.

The engine part 5 provided at the center of the left and right tail fins 4 is rotatable around an axis perpendicular to the axis of the body part 3, and when rotated, one side 5a is slightly rearward of the rearmost end of the tail fin 4. It is attached so as to be fixed in a state perpendicular to the axis of the torso. Further, a recess 23 is formed on the lower front surface of the tail fin 4 and is open downward and forward, into which the free end side of the side member 2 is fitted and accommodated.

With the above configuration, when the upper member 1A of the leading part 1 is connected to the upper member 3A of the body part 3 on the same side, the pilot head 14 protrudes outward corresponding to the window 7 and comes into contact with the lower surface of the hood 6. . Further, when the side member 2 is rotated so as to be parallel to the body 3 and its free end is fitted into the recess 23 of the tail 4, and one side 5a of the engine section 5 is directed upward, As shown in FIG. 1, this toy has the shape of an airplane, and the pilot can be seen watching from the window 7. FIG. 3 is a bottom view of this toy in the form of an airplane.

Next, as shown in FIGS. 4 and 5, from the state shown in FIG. When the toy is placed with one side 5a facing toward the rear of the tail and placed on the floor, the toy will remain upright from the one side. Then, as shown in FIG. 6, the leading part 1 is rotated about its axis relative to the body part 3.

At this time, since the hood 6 presses the hemispherical convex surface of the pilot head 14 at the beginning of rotation, the pilot head sinks into the window 7, so that the leading head 1 can be rotated. Furthermore, when the pilot head is turned half a turn, the robot face 15 on the opposite side of the neck 13 is exposed to the outside through the window 7, and at the same time, the convex surface of the pilot head hits the slight recess inside the lower member 1B of the pilot head. Since the frictional force against rotation becomes large when the two parts come into contact with each other, the leading end is fixed with the robot's face facing forward as shown in FIG.

Furthermore, finally, from the tip of the side member 2, the hand 12
When extended, the toy takes on the form of a robot toy as shown in FIG.

The above is an example of a toy configured to change from the shape of an airplane to the shape of a robot. This idea can also be applied to other vehicle toys that imitate the shapes of rockets, Shinkansen trains, etc., and change into robot toys by changing the shape of the head part 1 and body part 3, removing the tail, etc. It is possible to do so.

Effects of this invention As mentioned above, according to this invention, the hollow front part of the vehicle toy is provided in the body of the toy body so as to be rotatable about its axis, and the opening is opened in the front part in a direction perpendicular to the axis. A window with a hood is provided, and a neck extending from the body to the inside of the window at the top of the head is provided, and on one side of the neck, the head of a toy operator or the like is placed against the rotating surface of the hood. It is biased in the right angle direction so that it can appear and retract freely, and the face pattern of the robot toy is displayed on the opposite side of the neck, so the configuration of one toy can be changed by simply rotating the component parts with a simple configuration. The shape of the toy can be changed from one to the other, and the toy can be maintained in that shape. In addition, due to the combination of the outward elasticity of the spherical head of the pilot of a toy vehicle and the window hood, the pilot automatically sinks when the front head rotates half a time, exposing the robot's face. Since the shape is fixed to a fixed position, changing the shape is easy, and even children can easily enjoy it.
