Description

[Detailed description of the invention] (Industrial application field) The present invention is a shape-changing toy that has a plurality of connecting members that are rotatably connected to each other, and that facilitates the assembly work of the connecting parts. Regarding the bearing structure that can be achieved.

(Prior Art) Conventionally, forms that can be changed into two or more forms by moving a plurality of mutually connected structural members according to their connecting mechanism, such as a robot toy having a plurality of movable structural members. In a changing toy, one component is rotatably connected to the other component, and the shape of the toy can be changed by rotating the other component. The structure of the connecting part is generally such that a bearing part is integrally formed on one component, and a rotating shaft integrally formed in the other component is engaged and supported by the bearing part. It is being

However, when a side wall is formed facing one component and the other component is rotatably connected inside the side wall, the rotation axis of the other component must be supported by the both walls. However, it is extremely troublesome to penetrate the rotating shaft through the side wall and then through the other component, and especially in the case of small toys, connecting small parts requires skill. There were problems with workability.

(Purpose of the invention) The purpose of the invention is to form a bearing part on a bearing member separate from each constituent member and to improve productivity by facilitating the assembly work of the connecting parts between each constituent member. A shape-changing toy in which a rotating shaft is formed on one component, and the rotating shaft is rotatably supported on the bearing member, and then the bearing member is fixed to the other component. This provides a bearing structure for.

(Example) Hereinafter, the bearing structure in the shape-changing toy of the present invention will be described in detail.

FIGS. 1a, b, and c are explanatory views of the structure of an embodiment of the present invention, in which a bearing member 1 has a triangular plate-like base 2.
, a hollow cylindrical first bearing 3 integrally formed at the rear end of the base 2, a hollow cylindrical second bearing 4 integrally formed at the front of the base 2, and a second hollow cylindrical bearing 4 integrally formed at the front end of the base 2. It has an extension piece 5 integrated into the front part of the bearing part 4. Screw holes 6 and 7 are formed in the base 2 and the extension piece 5, respectively, and are configured to be fixed to the back surface of the first component 10 with screws.

The first component 10 has opposing side walls 10a,
10a is formed, and a second component 20 and a third component 30 are rotatably connected to the first component 10 between the side walls 10a, 10a.

A pair of connecting plates 21 are protruded from the rear end of the second component 20 to face each other, and each connecting plate 21 can communicate with the cylindrical bearing hole 3a of the first bearing part 3 of the bearing member 1. holes 21a are formed respectively. 1st
The bearing part 3 and the connecting plate 21 are connected to the pin 8 which becomes the rotation axis.
By inserting into each hole 3a, 21a,
They are rotatably connected to each other. Second component 2
A pair of supporting plates 1 protruding oppositely on the back surface of 0
1, the second bearing part 4 of the bearing member 1 is located between the bearing parts 1, and a predetermined space is formed between the bearing part 4 and each support plate 11. The pair of connecting plates 31 of the member 30 respectively protrude and are rotatably supported by pins 32 (FIGS. 1a and 1b). Figure 1c is the first
The second component 20 and the third component 30 rotate relative to the component 10 with the end surfaces of the pins 8 and 32 facing the side walls 10a and 10a of the first component 10, respectively. It shows a freely engaged state.

As described above, since the bearing portions of the component members 20 and 30 are formed in the bearing member 1 which is separate from the component member 10, it is important to follow the order in which the component members 20 and 30 are attached to the bearing member 1. It can be freely determined in order of ease, and since the bearing work can be done on the bearing member 1 first, it can be done easily even with small toys, and it has excellent workability and productivity. .

Figures 2a, b, and c, Figures 3a, b, and c, and Figure 4 are explanatory diagrams of an embodiment of a shape-changing toy using the above-mentioned bearing structure, respectively.
b, c are the states of the car (state before transformation), Figure 3 a, b, c are the states of the robot (state after transformation),
FIG. 4 shows the disassembled state of each component.

As shown in FIG. 4, this toy consists of a car body (robot body) 10, which is a first component, and a rear part of the car (robot head), which is a second component.
20, a connecting member 30 which is a third component,
A bearing member 1 rotatably connects these members 10, 20, and 30, a pair of wheel frames (robot arms) 40 rotatably engaged with both side walls of the rear part 20 of the automobile, and a connecting member 30. A pair of legs 50 whose upper ends are rotatably supported by pins 34 at the front end rotating portion 33, and a car tip portion whose lower end of each leg is rotatably supported by pins 51. (robot leg tip) 60. Reference numeral 15 is a robot face formed on the surface of the first component 10, and the face 15 can be exposed or hidden by a cover 16 that is pivotally attached to the first component 10 so as to be openable and closable. It is composed of The wheel frame 40 is rotatably connected to the first member 10 by an axle of a rear wheel 41 thereof.

In the above configuration, when the bearing member 1 is used to rotatably connect the first to third component members 10, 20, 30, first the first bearing portion 3 of the bearing member 1 is connected to the second component member. 20 is fitted between the pair of connecting plates 21 and the holes 3a and 21a are rotatably supported by pins 8, and then the holes 4a of the second bearing part 4 of the bearing member 1 and the third component Hole 3 of connecting plate 31 of 30
1a is rotatably supported by a pin 32. Subsequently, the bearing member 1 connected to each component member 20, 30 in this way is seated at a predetermined position on the back surface of the first component member 10, and then a screw is screwed into each screw hole 6, 7. and fix it.

Each component is rotatably connected as shown in FIG. 3c. In order to change the shape of the car to the state shown in FIGS. 2a, b, and c, it is sufficient to bend each rotary connection part and transform it into the stored state, and also to change the form to the state of the vehicle shown in FIGS. In order to bring the robot into the state shown in Figure 2, it is only necessary to extend each rotational connection part. Third
Figure c shows the process of bending the legs 50 and the tip 60 into the stowed state. In the state of a car, each wheel 41, 42 allows the vehicle to travel.

Note that the bearing structure of the present invention can be applied to various shape-changing toys other than the toys shown in the above embodiments.

(Effect of the invention) As described above, according to the bearing structure of the shape-changing toy of the present invention, since the bearing part is formed in the bearing member separate from each component, the second component and the third
By pre-bearing each rotating shaft of the component in a bearing part member and fixing the bearing member to the first component, each of the rotating shafts can be accommodated between both side walls. The ease of assembly of shape-changing toys is greatly improved.
