[0006] PROBLEMS TO BE SOLVED BY THE INVENTION

[0007] In popular toys, there are toys that imitate articles appearing in tokusatsu and anime. For example, toys that imitate equipment used by a transformation hero or a magical girl at the time of transformation or battle are such toys. In the works, the equipment that is the prototype of such toys often changes in state or deforms at a certain part before use and after the start of use, accompanied by a light-up performance. In the case where a light-up performance toy based on the original is desired to be made, how to realize the state change, deformation, light-up performance, and the like becomes a problem. In addition, even in the case of a light-up performance toy that does not have an original, if new interest can be generated in terms of state change, deformation, light-up performance, and the like, the value as a toy will also be improved.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0036] Hereinafter, examples of the embodiments of the present application will be described, and of course, the modes to which the present application can be applied are not limited to the following embodiments. In each drawing, a right-hand system orthogonal three-axis is shown. The positive direction of the X-axis of the orthogonal three-axis is set as the front or the front side, the negative direction of the X-axis is set as the back or the back side, the positive direction of the Y-axis is set as the left, the negative direction of the Y-axis is set as the right, the positive direction of the Z-axis is set as the up, and the negative direction of the Z-axis is set as the down, and the description is made.

[0037] Figure 1 is an appearance view of the performance output toy 2 of the present embodiment, and is a perspective appearance view of the performance output toy 2 as viewed from the front left oblique upper side from the perspective of the performance output toy 2. The performance output toy 2 is a toy made to imitate a belt-type article worn at the waist of a hero who transforms in an original work such as a television program, a comic, and the like. The performance output toy 2 includes a belt portion 4 wound around the waist of a user, and a transformation mechanism portion 6 provided at a position corresponding to a belt buckle of the belt portion 4.

[0038] The transformation mechanism portion 6 corresponds to a portion in which a special mechanism that generates energy for transformation is built in the original. When the transformation mechanism portion 6 is viewed from above (from the Z-axis positive side), the transformation mechanism portion 6 becomes an arc shape in which the degree of curvature of the front surface is greater than that of the back surface, which abuts against the wearer's abdomen. The front-to-back width of the transformation mechanism portion 6 is greatest in the left and right central portions, and gradually decreases and narrows as it moves away from the center.

[0039] The transformation mechanism portion 6 has an opening portion 8 in the front surface in the left and right central portions, and a portion of the configuration built in the housing portion 10 can be observed from the outside. In addition, a transparent cover 9 is installed in the opening portion 8, and the transparent cover 9 is used to prevent foreign matter from intruding into the housing portion 10 or to prevent the inside from being accidentally touched, and the like.

[0040] The user wears the performance output toy 2 around the waist, and operates the start operation switch 14 provided in the housing portion 10 to operate the performance output toy 2. When the start operation switch 14 is operated, the performance output toy 2 starts a performance output in which an action that imitates the transformation process in the original is performed. The performance output includes a light emission performance by the light emission portion built in the housing portion 10 and the sound of BGM and effect sounds from the built-in speaker. The light of the light emission performance is emitted toward the light emission direction through the opening portion 8, and the BGM and effect sounds are played by the built-in speaker and emitted from the sound hole 16 of the housing portion 10. The user can enjoy the fun of "acting games" and "imitation" by using the performance output toy 2 to imitate the action of the transformation process and various performances, as if he or she were the transformed hero.

[0041] In addition, in the present embodiment, the light emission direction is set to the X-axis positive direction, but depending on the design of the performance output toy 2, it is not limited thereto, and can be set to other directions. In addition, the light emission direction is not limited to one direction, and of course can be multiple directions.

[0042] Figure 2 is an XZ cross-sectional view of the performance output toy 2 in which the light emission direction is passed through. In addition, the illustration of the belt portion 4 is omitted. The housing portion 10 has a main housing portion 11 and a base portion 12. The housing portion 10 divides an internal space in which various elements can be built in by covering and closing the back surface opening of the main housing portion 11 from the back. The base portion 12 has a first configuration body 121, a second configuration body 122, and a belt mounting portion 123 that is a main back surface side configuration body for forming a three-dimensional configuration in the internal space. In addition, the number of internal configuration bodies is not limited to two, but can be appropriately set.

[0043] The performance output toy 2 has a performance output unit 30, an opening / closing unit 60, a holding unit 80, and a control substrate 50 that functions as a control unit, built in the housing unit 10. The performance output unit 30 is disposed behind (X-axis negative direction side) the opening / closing unit 60. That is, when viewed from the front of the performance output toy 2, the performance output unit 30 is located inside the opening / closing unit 60. The control substrate 50 is disposed in the lower portion of the housing unit 10. A battery and a speaker that supply electric power to the performance output unit 30 and the control substrate 50 are built in a position that cannot be seen from the front of the performance output toy 2. Figure 2

[0044] Figure 3 is a view that removes the structure around the performance output unit 30 from Figure 2 The performance output unit 30 has a motor 31, a collector ring 32, a first light emitting unit 33, a pinwheel-shaped configuration unit 34, and a second light emitting unit 35.

[0045] The motor 31 is fixed to the first configuration body 121 of the base 12 in such a manner that the output shaft 36 faces the light irradiation direction. The first light emitting unit 33 and the pinwheel-shaped configuration unit 34 (for example, a pinwheel having a plurality of blades that rotate around the output shaft 36) are attached to the front end of the output shaft 36. The motor 31 is controlled to operate by the control substrate 50, and the first light emitting unit 33 and the pinwheel-shaped configuration unit 34 are rotated.

[0046] The collector ring 32 is fixed to the second configuration body 122 of the base 12 in such a manner that the axis of the ring is coaxial with the output shaft 36 of the motor 31, and the output shaft 36 of the motor 31 penetrates the hole in the center of the ring. The collector ring 32 has a member that is in sliding contact with a sliding member of an electric contact that rotates in conjunction with the rotation of the motor 31, and thus the electric connection between the first light emitting unit 33 and the control substrate 50 is continuously maintained regardless of the rotation of the motor 31, and the rotation angle of the first light emitting unit 33 is detected and output to the control substrate 50. Alternatively, a signal for obtaining the rotation angle of the first light emitting unit 33 is provided.

[0047] The first light emitting unit 33 has, for example, a slit 331 in the radial direction and a plurality of light emitting bodies 332 (for example, a plurality of LEDs) disposed in the radial direction behind the slit. The control substrate 50 individually controls the light emission of the light emitting bodies 332 in accordance with the rotation position of the first light emitting unit 33. A user who views the first light emitting unit 33 from the front can observe various patterns in space due to the afterglow effect of the light trace. That is, the motor 31, the collector ring 32, and the first light emitting unit 33 constitute a light emitting body rotation unit 38 that rotates the light emitting bodies, and function as a fan screen (Japanese: bāsura raita) 39 that draws a light performance in space using the rotation control of the motor 31 and the light emission control of the first light emitting unit 33 by the control substrate 50.

[0048] ​The second light emitting section 35 corresponds to illumination of the internal space in which the first light emitting section 33 and the pinwheel-shaped configuration section 34 are accommodated. The second light emitting section 35 is implemented by, for example, an LED, and light emission control is performed by the control substrate 50.

[0049] The opening section 8 (refer to Figure 1 、 Figure 2 ) of the housing section 10 functions as a light path section 40 that makes light emitted from the first light emitting section 33 and the second light emitting section 35 pass to the outside. Note that the opening section 8 does not necessarily have to be physically empty, and can be implemented using a solid body of a light guide material or the like, as long as light can pass therethrough.

[0050] Further, in the present embodiment, the pinwheel-shaped configuration section 34 is described as the rotation performance output section, but any component that can perform rotation performance can be used, and is not particularly limited. Note that the present embodiment is not limited to having to include a light emitting section, a rotation performance output section, and a light emitting body rotation section, and can include only a light emitting section, only a rotation performance output section, only a light emitting body rotation section, or a combination thereof, or the like, as long as visual performance is included, and is not particularly limited. Further, for example, in the case where a rotation performance output section is included, the light irradiation direction in the case of a light emitting section can be referred to as a rotation performance output direction, and further, the opening section 8 of the housing section 10 functions as a rotation performance output exposure section for exposing the performance of the rotation performance output section to the outside. Further, the output direction of visual performance such as the light irradiation direction and the rotation performance output direction can be collectively referred to as a performance output direction, and the exposure section of visual performance such as the light path section and the rotation performance output exposure section can be collectively referred to as a performance output exposure section.

[0051] Returning to Figure 2 , the opening and closing section 60 is a mechanism section that performs opening and closing actions between the performance output section 30 and the opening section 8. By making the opening and closing section 60 in a fully open state, the performance output section 30 can be observed from the outside via the opening section 8, and by making the opening and closing section 60 in a fully closed state, the performance output section 30 cannot be observed from the outside. The change from the fully closed state to the fully open state is controlled by the control substrate 50. The return from the fully open state to the fully closed state is manually operated in the present embodiment, but can be electrically controlled.

[0052] Figure 4 and Figure 5 are plan views that show an example of the internal structure of the performance output toy 2, and correspond to a state in which the housing section 10 is removed. Figure 4 shows that the opening and closing section 60 is in a fully closed state. Figure 5 shows that the opening and closing section 60 is in a fully open state. Figure 6 is an enlarged view of the opening and closing section 60 selected from Figure 4 . Figure 7 and Figure 8It is a three-dimensional diagram showing the movable part of the opening / closing part 60 in the fully closed state. Figure 7 This is a picture of the performance output toy 2 viewed from the upper left side of the front. Figure 8 This is a picture of the performance output toy 2 viewed from the rear and slightly above.

[0053] The opening / closing part 60 has two connecting parts 61 (right connecting part 61R and left connecting part 61L). The right connecting part 61R and the left connecting part 61L are basically symmetrical in shape, except for the shape of the mating part described later. The connecting parts 61 (61R, 61L) have a shield 62, a long connecting link 63, a short connecting link 64, and a force-applying part 65.

[0054] In the fully closed state, the shield 62 has a flat plate portion 621 along the YZ plane and extension portions 622 extending rearward along the XY plane at the upper and lower ends of the plate portion 621, respectively. At the left and right central ends of the extension portions 622, locally thickened engaging steps 623 are provided (see reference). Figure 7 , Figure 8 ).

[0055] like Figure 7 As shown, the long connecting rod 63 has a shaft portion 631 in the vertical direction, an upper rod portion 632 extending forward from the upper end of the shaft portion 631, a lower rod portion 633 extending forward from the lower end of the shaft portion 631, and a precision confirmation portion 635 extending to the left and right center sides of the upper rod portion 632. The shaft portion 631 is held on the front side of the base 12 as a rotation axis along the Z-axis. The upper rod portion 632 and the lower rod portion 633 are of equal length, and their front ends are connected to the shield 62 in a manner that allows rotation via the rotation axis in the Z-axis direction. A closing operation portion 634 is provided at the rear end of the upper rod portion 632. This closing operation portion 634 is a protrusion specifically for the user to restore the opening / closing portion 60 from the fully open state to the fully closed state. The closing operation portion 634 extends from the operating hole 124 (see reference) of the base 12, which serves as a through hole. Figure 6 The back is exposed, allowing users to operate it with their fingers.

[0056] The accuracy verification unit 635 is a part used by the workers manufacturing the performance output toy 2 to verify the accuracy of the opening and closing parts 60 during the assembly process using visual inspection, cameras, etc. Within a specified visual range (e.g., by...), Figure 6 Within the area enclosed by the single-dot dashed line, if the end faces 625 of the left and right central sides of the accuracy confirmation section 635 are parallel to the second structure 122, then the opening and closing section 60 is considered to be correctly assembled (qualified). Alternatively, it can be said that two adjacent connecting rod sections 61 (two shielding bodies 62) have portions (accuracy confirmation sections 635) that allow the long connecting rods 63 to form a predetermined linear relationship with each other in the fully closed state.

[0057] As shown in Figure 7 , the short link rod 64 has an axial portion 641 in the up-down direction, an upper rod portion 642 provided so as to extend forward from the upper end of the axial portion 641, and a lower rod portion 643 provided so as to extend forward from the lower end of the axial portion 641. The axial portion 641 is held as a rotation axis along the Z axis to the front side surface of the base portion 12. The upper rod portion 642 and the lower rod portion 643 are equal in length, and the front end portions thereof are both linked to the shield body 62 in a manner that enables rotation with a rotation axis in the Z axis direction.

[0058] If the long link rod 63 and the short link rod 64 are compared, the upper rod portion 632 and the lower rod portion 633 of the long link rod 63 are set to be longer than the upper rod portion 642 and the lower rod portion 643 of the short link rod 64. In addition, the linking position between the short link rod 64 and the shield body 62 is located further from the center of the performance output toy 2 than the linking position between the long link rod 63 and the shield body 62. The long link rod 63 corresponds to an inner link rod on the side close to the end surface (the surface to which the shield body 62 is butted), and the short link rod 64 corresponds to an outer link rod on the side away from the end surface.

[0059] Thus, when the link rod portion 61 and the base portion 12 are regarded as a link mechanism and viewed from above (refer to Figure 4 , Figure 5 ), both of the link rod portions 61 (the right link rod portion 61R and the left link rod portion 61L) can be regarded as four-link mechanism portions with the base portion 12 as a fixed link and the shield body 62 as an intermediate link. The opening and closing portion 60 is a configuration that supports the left and right shield bodies 62 each of which has a front surface that is planar in the fully closed state to a position where the front surfaces of the left and right shield bodies 62 each become one parallel planar surface. This configuration can be said to be a configuration that transitions from the fully closed state to the fully open state by moving the shield bodies 62 in a manner that widens the angle between the normal lines of the front surfaces of the left and right shield bodies 62.

[0060] As described above, the transformation mechanism portion 6 of the light emitting performance toy 2 has an outer shape that is tapered in a manner that the thickness gradually decreases from the central portion of the front surface toward the opening direction of the opening and closing portion 60 (refer to Figure 1 ). However, in the process of transitioning the opening and closing portion 60 from the fully closed state to the fully open state, the shield bodies 62 are moved in a manner that widens the angle between the normal lines of the front surfaces of the left and right shield bodies 62. Thus, in the fully closed state, the shield bodies 62 can function as a gate by being directed to the light irradiation direction, and in the fully open state, the shield bodies 62 can be accommodated in the characteristic outer shape of the performance output toy 2.

[0061] The urging portion 65 is implemented by, for example, a spring, and urges the structural elements of the opening and closing portion 60 in a manner that transitions the opening and closing portion 60 from the fully closed state to the fully open state. In the performance output toy 2, the shield bodies 62 are urged in a manner that transitions the opening and closing portion 60 from the fully closed state to the fully open state by the urging portion 65.Figure 6 , Figure 7 In the structure shown, one end of the force-applying part 65 is connected to the shield 62, and the other end is locked to the base 12. Thus, in the fully closed state, the force-applying part 65 of the right link 61R applies force in a manner that moves the shield 62 of the right link 61R to the right, and the force-applying part 65 of the left link 61L applies force in a manner that moves the shield 62 of the left link 61L to the left.

[0062] Furthermore, in the fully closed state, the opening and closing part 60 is positioned such that the end faces of each shield 62 are connected along the YZ plane by the shield 62 of the two connecting parts 61 (right connecting part 61R and left connecting part 61L).

[0063] like Figure 6 As shown in the enlarged and drawn-out diagram, the docking part (opposite part, composed of...) Figure 6 The area enclosed by the long dashed line is used to block light along the light irradiation direction by having an inclined surface that intersects the light irradiation direction (performance output direction, light path direction of light path section 40). Specifically, the left-facing inclined surface 66 of the shielding body 62 of the right connecting rod 61R is set so that its normal direction faces the left front, and the right-facing inclined surface 67 of the shielding body 62 of the left connecting rod 61L is set so that its normal direction faces the right rear, so that the left-facing inclined surface 66 and the right-facing inclined surface 67 can be joined together to perform shielding (light blocking). In addition, the shape of the left-facing inclined surface 66 and the right-facing inclined surface 67 is not particularly limited, as long as the structure is such that the end face of the mating surface (opposite surface) of the shielding body 62 is not parallel to a straight line with the light irradiation direction (performance output direction), so that the performance on the opposite side (rear side) of the shielding body 62 cannot be observed from the mating surface (opposite surface) of the shielding body 62.

[0064] Figure 9 This is a perspective view showing a structural example of the retaining part 80, and is a view of the retaining part 80 viewed from the upper left front. The retaining part 80 engages with the opening / closing part 60 to maintain it in a fully closed state, and the engagement is released according to a user-specified opening operation. Furthermore, the retaining part 80 engages again according to a user-specified closing operation to restore it to a fully closed state.

[0065] The retaining part 80 includes a right engaging part 81R, a left engaging part 81L, a spring 84R that applies force upward to the right engaging part 81R relative to the retaining base 83, a spring 84L that applies force upward to the left engaging part 81L relative to the retaining base 83, a limiting part 85 that limits the upper limit position of the right engaging part 81R and the left engaging part 81L, and an electric actuator 87 that allows the movable rod 86 engaged with the limiting part 85 to move up and down.

[0066] The right engaging portion 81R and the left engaging portion 81L are left-right symmetrical shapes, and each has an engaging surface 811 on the left-right center side, an inclined surface 812 descending toward the left-right outer side on the upper end intersecting the engaging surface 811, and an upper and lower long hole 813 passing through the front and back. The protruding portion 851 of the restriction portion 85 is inserted into the long hole 813. The right engaging portion 81R and the left engaging portion 81L are upwardly biased, so the inner surface of the lower end of the long hole 813 abuts against the protruding portion 851, and the upper limit position is restricted.

[0067] Figure 10 and Figure 11 is a diagram for explaining the operation of the holding portion 80. As shown in Figure 10 , in the fully closed state (initial state before the user performs the start operation), the right engaging portion 81R abuts against the right outer side surface of the engaging step portion 623 (see Figure 8 ) of the upwardly extending arrangement portion 622 possessed by the shielding body 62 of the right link portion 61R, and restricts the movement of the shielding body 62 in the opening direction (negative direction of the Y axis). The left engaging portion 81L abuts against the left outer side surface of the engaging step portion 623 of the upwardly extending arrangement portion 622 possessed by the shielding body 62 of the left link portion 61L, and restricts the movement of the shielding body 62 in the opening direction (positive direction of the Y axis).

[0068] As shown in Figure 11 , when the electric actuator 87 is operated by the control substrate 50, the movable rod 86 is pulled downwardly. Thus, the restriction portion 85 is lowered, and the upper limit positions of the right engaging portion 81R and the left engaging portion 81L are lowered. The right engaging portion 81R and the left engaging portion 81L are moved downwardly, and the engagement with the shielding bodies 62 is released, respectively. Then, the shielding bodies 62 are moved by the biasing force of the biasing portions 65 connected to the shielding bodies 62, respectively, and the shutter 60 is shifted from the fully closed state to the fully open state. Thus, the electric actuator 87 functions as the release portion 88 that releases the holding of the holding portion 80.

[0069] Further, the electric actuator 87 is stopped after a predetermined time required for the shutter 60 to be shifted from the fully closed state to the fully open state has elapsed after the operation is started. Thus, the movable rod 86 returns to the original position, and the right engaging portion 81R and the left engaging portion 81L also return to the original positions.

[0070] The control substrate 50 has a CPU, an IC memory, an input circuit from the start operation switch 14, an actuator control circuit that performs output control of an operating current to the electric actuator 87, a light emission control circuit that outputs a light emission control signal of the first light emission portion 33, a light emission control circuit that outputs a light emission control signal to the second light emission portion 35, and a sound emission control circuit that generates a sound signal for causing the BGM and the effect sound of the transformation scene in the original to be emitted from the built-in speaker. Furthermore, the control substrate 50 integrally controls the operation of the light emission show toy 2 by the CPU executing a program stored in the IC memory.

[0071] Figure 12 is a flowchart for explaining the flow of the operation of the light emission show toy 2. When the control substrate 50 detects that the start operation switch 14 is operated (step S2), the sound emission of the BGM and the effect sound of the transformation scene is started from the speaker (step S4), and the second light emission portion 35 is caused to emit light (step S6). Even if the second light emission portion 35 emits light, the light generated by the emission does not leak from the opening and closing portion 60 due to the configuration of the abutting portions of the two shielding bodies 62.

[0072] Next, the control substrate 50 causes the electric actuator 87 to operate and causes the opening and closing portion 60 to transition from the fully closed state to the fully open state (step S8). Then, the opening portion 8 from which the opening and closing portion 60 is opened appears as the windmill-shaped configuration portion 34 that is irradiated with light from the second light emission portion 35. Before the opening and closing portion 60 is about to open, light does not leak between the two abutting shielding bodies 62, and thus the excitement when the windmill-shaped configuration portion 34 appears in the light is much greater than when light leaks. At the same time, the BGM and the effect sound are continuously rising, and the user is filled with anticipation for what happens next.

[0073] Next, the control substrate 50 starts the rotation of the motor 31 (step S10) and starts the light emission control of the first light emission portion 33 (step S12). Specifically, the motor 31 is caused to rotate and the windmill-shaped configuration portion 34 is caused to rotate, and the light trail of the feather is drawn by the first light emission portion 33, and a show display as if the energy is filled by the power generation effect generated by the rotation of the windmill-shaped configuration portion 34 is performed.

[0074] Next, the control substrate 50 causes the rotation of the motor 31 to stop in correspondence with the end of the sound emission of the BGM and the effect sound of the transformation scene (step S14), and ends the light emission control of the first light emission portion 33 and the second light emission portion 35 and causes them to be extinguished (step S16).

[0075] During the sound emission of the BGM or effect sound of the transformation scene, the user makes the transformation pose of the original work's transformation hero, shouts the transformation slogan, and enjoys the transformation play. At the time when the sound emission of the BGM or effect sound of the transformation scene ends, the user's mind is that he or she has already transformed into the transformation hero, and thereafter, the user plays the play game as the transformation hero against the enemy.

[0076] The high shielding property (light shielding property) of the opening and closing section 60 contributes to the realization of effective show output. That is, when the shielding property of the opening and closing section 60 is low, light, rotation, or the like show leaks to the outside from the abutting sections of the two shielding bodies 62. The user easily knows that something is emitting light or rotating in the opening and closing section 60 before the opening and closing section 60 is opened, and thus the impact of the show output becomes low. However, since the opening and closing section 60 sufficiently shields (light shields), when the opening and closing section 60 is opened, the show output can be observed from the outside at once, and thus the impact of the show becomes high. This impact is close to the show performance in the original work that is the prototype of the show output toy 2. Thus, an unprecedented show output toy full of fun can be realized.

[0077] Of course, the usage method of the show output toy 2 is not limited to such a play game, and can be used for the enjoyment of adults who admired the transformation hero in childhood, and in this respect as well, the effect of the light emission show resulting from the high shielding property of the opening and closing section 60 is improved from the past.

[0078] Further, by providing the opening and closing section 60 with the four-link structure, the show output toy 2 is configured such that the shielding bodies 62 face the light irradiation direction (the normal direction faces the light irradiation direction) in the fully closed state, and the shielding bodies 62 are well housed in the left and right contracted housing sections 10 in the fully open state. The show output toy 2 has a shape excellent in design, and an interesting show can be realized.

[0079] Further, when the opening and closing section 60 is desired to be set to the fully closed state, the user operates the closing operation section 634 protruding from the operation hole 124 to return the opening and closing section 60 to the fully closed state (see FIG. 19). Figure 6 At this time, the right and left engaging sections 81R and 81L of the holding section 80 return to the original upper limit positions, and return to the fully closed positions shown in Figure 10

[0080] During the process of returning the shielding bodies 62 to the fully closed positions by the operation of the closing operation section 634, the shielding bodies 62 of the right link section 61R abut against the inclined surface 812 of the right engaging section 81R with the engaging step section 623, and become a state of pressing down the right engaging section 81R. When the engaging step section 623 passes the inclined surface 812 and reaches the fully closed position, the right engaging section 81R is automatically returned to the fully closed position by the action of the spring 84R. Figure 10 ​the upper limit position. The shield 62 of the right link 61R is held in the fully closed position in a state of being engaged with the engagement surface 811.

[0081] The same phenomenon occurs in the left link 61L, and the left engagement portion 81L is also automatically returned to Figure 10 the upper limit position. The shield 62 is held in the fully closed position in a state of being engaged with the engagement surface 811.

[0082] (Modified Example)

[0083] The embodiments to which the present application can be applied are not limited to the above-described examples, and addition, omission, and change of structural elements can be appropriately made.

[0084] (Modified Example 1)

[0085] For example, in the above-described embodiment, the start of the light emission and rotation of the first light emitting portion 33 is set after the opening and closing portion 60 is opened, but as shown in FIG. 17, it can also be a structure in which the light emission of the second light emitting portion 35 is performed simultaneously or sequentially. Specifically, it can also be configured to perform the process of step S8 (refer to FIG. 6) as step S13 after step S12. Figure 13 Figure 12

[0086] (Modified Example 2)

[0087] In addition, for example, the appearance of the performance output toy 2 is not limited to the transformation belt as in the above-described embodiment. For example, it can also be a weapon type as shown in FIG. 18. The performance output toy 2B is a toy that imitates a weapon in the form of a sword that appears in the original work, and the portion corresponding to the transformation mechanism portion 6 of the performance output toy 2 is designed as the guard 102 of the holding portion 100. The start operation in the performance output toy 2B is a positioning in which the power-up operation of temporarily increasing the power of the weapon using magic is performed. The performance output toy 2B has a wire-shaped third light emitting portion 106 built in the inside of a blade portion 104 composed of a light-transmissive material, and the control substrate 50 causes the third light emitting portion 106 to emit light after the light emission control of the first light emitting portion 33, so that the power-up performance can be performed. In addition, if it is a toy for girls, the appearance of the performance output toy 2 can also be, for example, a cosmetic case, a jewelry such as a bracelet, or the like. Figure 14 (Modified Example 3)

[0088] In addition, for example, in the above-described embodiment, an example in which one end of the urging portion 65 of the opening and closing portion 60 is attached to the shield 62 is shown, but it is not limited thereto. For example, as shown in FIG. 19, it can also be a structure in which the urging portion 65C is attached to the long connecting link 63 and the short connecting link 64. In addition, in

[0089] Figure 15 Figure 15 ​​​​In the middle, the urging portion 65C of the right link portion 61R cannot be seen due to the positional relationship of the view angle, but the right link portion 61R has the urging portion 65C as well as the left link portion 61L.

[0090] (Modified Example 4)

[0091] In the above embodiment, an example in which the electric actuator 87 is provided as the release portion 88 that releases the holding of the holding portion 80, that is, a structure that can be automatically released by the control of the control substrate 50 is illustrated, but a manual release structure can also be used. For example, as illustrated in FIG. 17, an opening operation button 15 can be provided to the housing portion 10, and the movable rod 86D of the holding portion 80D can be pressed in by the opening operation button 15. The movable rod 86 is urged upward by the return spring 89 via the restriction portion 85. When the user presses the opening operation button 15, the restriction portion 85 is lowered to release the holding. Figure 16

[0092] (Modified Example 5)

[0093] In the above embodiment, the abutment portion of the shield 62 is configured by the leftward inclined surface 66 and the rightward inclined surface 67 (see FIG. 6), but as long as the configuration in which the opposite side of the shield 62 cannot be observed from the abutment surface of the shield 62 when the shield 62 is abutted is used, the configuration is not particularly limited, and for example, as illustrated in FIG. 18, the opening and closing portion 60E can be configured by replacing the inclined surfaces of the leftward stepped portion 66E and the rightward stepped portion 67E with the stepped portions of the frontward stepped portion 66E and the rearward stepped portion 67E provided to the end surface of the shield 62. Figure 6 Figure 17

[0094] (Modified Example 6)

[0095] In the above embodiment, the opening and closing portion 60 is illustrated as a four-link mechanism portion, but the configuration is not limited thereto. For example, a configuration in which the short link rod 64 is omitted, a guide protrusion is provided to protrude at the position at which the shield 62 is connected to the short link rod 64, and a guide rail that gap-fits and guides the guide protrusion is provided to the base portion 12 can be used.

[0096] (Modified Example 7)

[0097] In addition, the holding portion 80 of the above embodiment can be replaced with the holding portion 90 as illustrated in FIG. 19. Figure 18

[0098] Figure 18 FIG. 20 is a perspective view that illustrates a configuration example of the holding portion 90. The same reference numerals are assigned to the same structural elements as those of the above embodiment and the above modified examples.

[0099] ​​​​The holding portion 90 has a swing body 91, a swing body cover 92, and a link rod 93. The holding portion 90 engages with both the long link rods 63 of the left link portion 61L and the right link portion 61R using one swing body 91, and maintains the two link portions in the closed state.

[0100] The link rod 93 links the swing body 91 with the opening operation button 15. When the user presses the opening operation button 15, which is provided in a manner exposed on the upper surface of the housing portion 10 (refer to Figure 1 ), the swing body 91 linked with the link rod 93 swings, and the holding of the holding portion 90 is released.

[0101] Figure 19 is a view of a state in which the holding portion 90 is removed from Figure 20 . The same reference numerals are attached to the same structural elements as in the above embodiment and the above modified example.

[0102] The opening / closing portion 60F has a force applying portion 65F in both the left link portion 61L and the right link portion 61R. The force applying portion 65F is composed of a torsion coil spring having two hook portions and a coil portion linking the two hook portions. Moreover, the shaft portion 631 of the upper rod portion 632 of the long link rod 63 passes through the coil portion, one hook portion hooks the upper rod portion 632, and the other hook portion hooks the base portion 12 (for example, a through-hole provided on the upper surface).

[0103] A bearing portion 125 for the swing body 91 and a protrusion 126 for screwing the swing body cover 92 are provided on the upper surface of the base portion 12 between the two upper rod portions 632. When the swing body cover 92 is attached to the protrusion 126, the swing body 91 becomes a state of being sandwiched between the base portion 12 and the swing body cover 92, and is held so as to be able to swing around the shaft in the Y-axis direction (left-right direction).

[0104] Figure 19 is a perspective exploded view showing a structural example of the holding portion 90.

[0105] The swing body 91 has a protrusion-like swing shaft portion 912 at the middle portion in the front-rear direction of the left and right sides. The swing shaft portion 912 is fitted into the bearing portion 125 of the base portion 12 (refer to Figure 18 ).

[0106] The swing body 91 has a rod receiving pin 913 at a position further to the rear than the swing shaft portion 912. The rod receiving pin 913 is provided toward the Y-axis direction, and is held by a clamping structure portion 931 provided at the lower end of the link rod 93, so as to be linked in a manner that can swing downward / upward by the push / pull of the link rod 93.

[0107] The swing body 91 has a recessed portion 915 on the upper surface on the front side of the swing shaft portion 912. The recessed portion 915 opposes the extended and provided portion 921 of the swing body cover 92, and a coil spring 95 is held therebetween in the Z-axis direction. The coil spring 95 is held in compression between the swing body 91 and the swing body cover 92. Since the swing body cover 92 is fixed to the base portion 12, the coil spring 95 exerts a force on the portion of the swing body 91 on the front side of the swing shaft portion 912 in the downward direction (Z-axis negative direction; direction close to the upper rod portion 632).

[0108] In addition, the swing body 91 has a left engaging portion 94L on the left end portion on the front side of the swing shaft portion 912 and a right engaging portion 94R on the right end portion on the front side of the swing shaft portion 912. The left engaging portion 94L and the right engaging portion 94R are protruding portions that are provided protruding downward (Z-axis negative direction; direction close to the upper rod portion 632), and are in left-right symmetrical shapes.

[0109] The interval between the left engaging portion 94L and the right engaging portion 94R in the Y-axis direction is set to be the same as (or slightly larger than) the distance from the left side surface of the long link rod 63 (upper rod portion 632) of the left link rod portion 61L to the right side surface of the long link rod 63 (upper rod portion 632) of the right link rod portion 61R of the opening and closing portion 60F (refer to FIG. 6) in the closed state. Figure 21

[0110] Figure 18 is a perspective view from an obliquely upper side, and shows the positional relationship and the engaging relationship between the holding portion 90 and the long link rod 63.

[0111] The portion of the swing body 91 on the front side of the swing shaft portion 912 is forced downward by the force of the coil spring 95, and is pressed against the opening and closing portion 60F. At this time, the long link rod 63 of the left link rod portion 61L and the long link rod 63 of the right link rod portion 61R are accommodated between the left engaging portion 94L and the right engaging portion 94R.

[0112] Specifically, the vertical surface 941 (surface whose normal line faces the Y-axis negative direction) of the right side surface of the left engaging portion 94L opposes the left side surface of the long link rod 63 of the left link rod portion 61L. The long link rod 63 of the left link rod portion 61L attempts to displace to the left (Y-axis positive direction; opening direction for the left link rod portion 61L) by the force of the urging portion 65F, but is hindered by the vertical surface 941 of the left engaging portion 94L, and remains at the position in the closed state (position shown by Figure 21 , Figure 18

[0113] ​​Likewise, the left side surface of the right engaging portion 94R, which is a left side surface 941 (a surface whose normal line faces the positive direction of the Y axis), opposes the right side surface of the long link 63 of the right link portion 61R. The long link 63 of the right link portion 61R tries to displace to the right (the negative direction of the Y axis; the opening direction for the right link portion 61R) by the force of the urging portion 65F, but is obstructed by the left side surface 941 of the right engaging portion 94R, and remains at the position in the closed state (the position shown in FIG. 9). Figure 21 , Figure 18

[0114] That is, the two shutters 62 of the opening / closing portion 60F are held in the closed state.

[0115] When the user presses the opening operation button 15 downward (the negative direction of the Z axis) to perform an opening operation, the link 93 is pressed downward, and the portion of the swing body 91 that is behind the swing axis portion 912 swings downward. The portion of the swing body 91 that is on the front side of the swing axis portion 912 swings upward like a seesaw, and separates from the two long links 63. Then, the engagement between the long link 63 of the left link portion 61L and the left engaging portion 94L and the engagement between the long link 63 of the right link portion 61R and the right engaging portion 94R are released at approximately the same time, and the opening / closing portion 60F opens.

[0116] When the user stops pressing the opening operation button 15 downward because the opening / closing portion 60F has opened, the swing body 91 automatically returns to the holding position shown in FIG. 9 by the force of the coil spring 95. Figure 21 and Figure 18

[0117] After the opening / closing portion 60F has opened, the user can perform a closing operation to close the opening / closing portion 60F. The closing operation can be performed for both the left link portion 61L and the right link portion 61R.

[0118] By the closing operation, the long link 63 of the left link portion 61L displaces in the closing direction, and soon after, its right side surface comes into abutment with the left side surface of the left engaging portion 94L. The left side surface of the left engaging portion 94L is an inclined surface 942 whose normal line faces the lower left. The long link 63 of the left link portion 61L pushes the swing body 91 in a manner that swings upward when it comes into abutment with the inclined surface 942 of the left engaging portion 94L. Soon after, the long link 63 of the left link portion 61L passes over the left engaging portion 94L, and returns to the position in the closed state shown in FIG. 8. Of course, the swing body 91 automatically returns to the holding position by the force of the coil spring 95. Figure 21 and Figure 18

[0119] ​​​Similarly, using this closing operation, the long connecting rod 63 of the right connecting rod portion 61R moves in the closing direction, and shortly thereafter, its left side abuts against the right side of the right engaging portion 94R. The right side of the right engaging portion 94R becomes an inclined surface 942 with its normal pointing downwards to the right. When the long connecting rod 63 of the right connecting rod portion 61R abuts against the inclined surface 942 of the right engaging portion 94R, it pushes the swing body 91 upwards. Shortly thereafter, the long connecting rod 63 of the right connecting rod portion 61R passes over the right engaging portion 94R and returns to its original position. Figure 21 and Figure 9 The position shown is in the closed state. Of course, the swing body 91 automatically returns to the holding position by the force of the helical spring 95.

[0120] Furthermore, the holding part 90 can also be configured to operate using the electric actuator 87 in the same way as in the above embodiment (see [reference]). ​ In addition, in this modified example, a retaining part 90 is provided on the upper side of the opening and closing part 60F, but it is also possible to add a second retaining part on the lower side of the opening and closing part 60F.
