Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] (Industrial Application Field) The present invention relates to a foot-extrusion mechanism for ejecting a foot from a leg member of a transforming robot toy.

(Prior Art) In general, in a transforming robot toy that changes form into a robot and a running toy, the foot mechanism of the robot when changing form from a running toy to a robot toy is to rotate the foot member relative to the leg member. The robot is attached to a shaft so that it can move freely, and when changing form from a robot to a running toy, by rotating the foot member, the tip of the foot is brought out at right angles to the tip of the leg member. It has been adopted.

However, in the above-mentioned shaft rotation system, the range of movement of the leg members is small, so it has not been possible to attach the wheels of the traveling toy to the leg members. This is because the legs of the robot are formed at the tips of the leg members, so if wheels are provided on the leg members, when the robot is transformed into a running toy, the wheels will appear by the rotation of the leg members. It is formed at the extreme end of the main body of the moving toy, which is not very desirable in terms of the design of the moving toy. For this reason, conventionally the wheels have been mounted at predetermined positions on the leg members. However, with this, the wheels appear on the leg members even when the robot is assembled, detracting from the appearance.Therefore, an improvement in this respect has been desired.

(Objective of the invention) An object of the invention is to provide a leg extension mechanism for a changing robot toy that can eliminate the above-mentioned drawbacks and, in particular, can widen the movable range of the leg members.

(Means for Achieving the Object) In order to achieve the above object, the deformable robot and traveling toy according to the present invention are characterized in that their forms change and that they have the following requirements.

(b) In the robot mode, the leg member is formed with a housing part that opens forward, and the housing part has a
A foot member and a wheel rotatably held inside the upper part of the foot member are housed (b) A sliding shaft is formed to protrude outward from approximately the middle part of the foot member, The shaft shall be slidably engaged in sliding grooves formed in the longitudinal direction of the inner walls on both sides of the leg member. The part or the wheel selectively protrudes, and an engaging part is formed inside the housing part of the leg member to engage with the leg member and maintain the state in which the toe part or the wheel protrudes. (Operation and effect of the invention) As mentioned above, the sliding shaft of the foot member is slidably engaged with the sliding groove formed in the longitudinal direction of the inner walls on both sides of the leg member, so when the shape changes, the foot member By sliding the sliding shaft along the sliding groove and then rotating it around the sliding shaft, the tip of the foot can protrude from the end of the leg member to form a robot foot. Furthermore, when changing the shape to a traveling toy, the wheels can be brought out at a position separated from the end of the leg member by sliding the sliding shaft to the opposite side. Therefore, the robot and the running toy are prevented from becoming unnatural in shape.

(Example) Hereinafter, an example of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

In the figure, symbol A indicates a shape-changing toy. This form-changing toy changes from the robot form shown in Figures 3a and 3b to the traveling toy form shown in Figure 5. In the robot form, the chest member 1 has a T-shaped body frame 2 (see Figure 4b). ) is rotatably provided on the upper hinge part 3 of the central piece 2a on the back side, and the leg members 4, 4 are close to the side pieces 2b of the body frame 2,
The leg members 4, 4 are provided with accommodating portions 4a, 4a which are provided so as to be separable and which open forward (see FIG. 3a).
are formed, and the leg members 5,
5 is provided.

A rear wheel 6 is rotatably held inside the upper part of the leg member 5, and a sliding shaft 7 is formed protruding outwardly from a substantially middle portion of the foot member 5. It is slidably engaged with sliding grooves 8 formed in the longitudinal direction of both inner walls of the member 4. One of the sliding shafts 7 of the foot member 5 is formed into a foot shape and constitutes a toe portion 5a. Note that the leg member 4 is constructed by butt-engaging a first leg member 4a and a second leg member, and the sliding groove 8 is formed as shown in FIG. 1b.
It is formed between a convex piece 20 formed on the first leg member 4a and a corresponding recess 21 formed on the second leg member 4b. Further, an elastic piece 22 having a protrusion 23 at the center is attached to the bottom of the second leg member 4a, and an elastic engagement piece 24 is formed protruding from one side of the elastic piece 22.

The protruding portion 23 and the elastic engaging piece 24 constitute an engaging portion that engages with the rear end portion 5b of the foot member 5 and maintains the state in which the toe portion 5a or the rear wheel 6 protrudes.

Next, a space S in which the arm members 9, 9 can be stored is formed inside the chest member 1, and plate-shaped mounting pieces 11 are mounted on the disk-shaped base pieces 10 on both left and right sides of the inner surface of the chest member 1, respectively. A support member 12 is provided rotatably around an axis perpendicular to the inner surface of the chest member 1. And the mounting piece 11 of the support member
A front wheel 13 is rotatably supported on one side, and a robot arm member 9 is bendably attached to the other side. The arm member 9 includes an arm base 9a that is rotatable along the surface of the attachment piece 11 of the support member, and the arm base 9.
Upper arm part 9b provided to be freely bendable with respect to a
and a lower arm portion 9 that is bendable with respect to the upper arm portion 9b.
It consists of c and a hand part.

In addition, a robot head 14 is mounted on the upper surface of the chest member 1.
is fixed, and a cover member 15 is fixed at the rear end of the upper surface part.
is rotatably provided to cover the head 14, and a second cover member 16 is connected to the rear of the cover member 15.

When changing the form-changing toy A having the above configuration from the robot form shown in FIGS. 3a and 3b to the traveling toy form shown in FIG. . cover material 15 on portion 14;
The width of the leg members 4, 4 is adjusted according to the width of the chest member 1 which has been rotated to the back side by sliding the leg members 4, 4 apart along both sides 2b of the body frame 2, and the cover member 15, Place 16.

Further, since the sliding shaft 7 of the foot member 5 is slidably engaged with the sliding groove 8 formed in the longitudinal direction of the inner walls on both sides of the leg member 4, the sliding shaft 7 of the foot member 5 is slidably engaged when the shape changes. By sliding the rear wheel 6 along the sliding groove 8, the rear wheel 6 can be brought out at a position spaced apart from the end of the leg member 4 (dotted line in FIG. 1a). At this time, the rear end portion 5b of the leg member 5 is elastically engaged with the upper end of the elastic engagement piece 24, and this state is maintained. Moreover, at this time, the leg members 5 slide and move toward the body portion of the leg members 4, so that the form of the traveling toy does not become unnatural.

As a result, as shown in FIG. 3, the chest member 1 as a whole constitutes the front 14 cover, and the front wheels 13, 13 formed on the left and right sides and the rear wheels 6, 6 provided on the leg members 4, 4. It changes into the form of a running toy with

To make it into a robot again, all you have to do is move each component in the opposite direction to the above. In addition, the foot member 5
By sliding the sliding shaft 7 along the sliding groove 8 and then rotating it around the sliding shaft 7,
One foot-shaped portion of the sliding shaft 7 can be made to protrude from the end of the leg member 4 to form a robot foot (solid line in FIG. 1a). At this time, the rear end portion 5b of the leg member 5
is engaged with the protrusion 23 of the elastic piece 22, and a predetermined state is maintained.
