Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION Technical Field The present invention relates to a combined deformable toy that changes into a third form when two toys having different forms are combined.

PRIOR ART AND ITS DISADVANTAGES This type of toy is known to have various forms of deformation, but all of them have complex structures and are difficult to manufacture. Most of them require manipulation, and therefore, the final shape after transformation can be predicted from the transformation process during play, so the deformation has the disadvantage of being less unexpected.

Purpose of the Invention In view of the above-mentioned points, the present invention provides that two toys with different shapes in a folded state are automatically expanded by the force at the time of combination, and the shapes of the two toys after the expansion are combined into one unified third toy. The purpose of the present invention is to provide a combination-transforming toy that is full of surprises and can instantly change into a third form different from either form when two toys are combined with a relatively simple structure. do.

Means for Achieving the Objective In order to achieve the above object, in this invention, when one toy having one unified form in the folded state is combined with the other toy having another unified shape in the folded state, when the toy is combined, An external force releases the locking part that holds one toy in the folded state, so the constantly applied unfolding force unfolds and partially stands upright, and the impact when it stands upright causes the other toy to collapse. In order to release the lock of the locking part that holds the folded state, the front and rear parts expand downward in front and back of the central part connecting them due to the unfolding force, and clamp the upright part. and maintain the united state,
The central part protrudes from between the front and rear parts to the top, and a third form is created by combining the two expanded toy forms.

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

In the embodiment shown in FIG. 1, one toy (hereinafter referred to as the first toy) _A1 has the form of a tank in the folded state, and the other toy (hereinafter referred to as the third toy) A1 has the shape of a tank in the folded state.
When B ₁ is folded, it has the form of a jet fighter, and when these two toys are joined together, the two toys suddenly unfold as a combined unit, as shown in Figure 2. It is designed to change into a third form, that of a robot, which is different from the form of .

The structure of each toy that is capable of changing its shape will be explained with reference to the drawings from FIG. 3 onwards.

As shown in Fig. 3, the first toy _A1 integrally has a front portion 1 on both left and right sides that has the appearance of a front caterpillar that slopes toward the front of a tank, and a rear portion 2 that extends rearward at the center. A base 101 that can be placed stably on the floor etc., a first upright part 102 with a flat upper surface and the appearance of rear caterpillars on both sides of the lower surface, and a flat lower surface with a tank control panel on the upper surface. It consists of a second upright part 103 with the appearance of a chamber.

In the illustrated example, a protrusion 3 that protrudes upward in the shape of a hook is provided at the center of the upper surface of the rear portion 2 of the base 101, and locks that protrude slightly forward and rearward are provided at the upper front end and middle part of the rear surface of the protrusion, respectively. Part 3a,
