DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0044] Hereinafter, an action toy as one form of the present invention will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings. In addition, the directions in the following description are described as the front-back, left-right, and top-bottom directions when the action toy is worn on the body.

[0045] Figure 1 This is a perspective view of a moving toy 1 according to one embodiment of the present invention as viewed from an oblique front. Figure 2 yes Figure 1 A side view of the action toy 1 is shown.

[0046] Figure 1 and Figure 2 The action toy 1 shown is a toy used when a hero transforms in a TV drama, animation, or the like, and is a so-called "role-playing toy" used to become a hero.

[0047] The action toy 1 has, for example, a first movable portion 11 that simulates the upper jaw and a second movable portion 12 that simulates the lower jaw, and can perform actions such as eating food by moving the upper jaw up and down. In addition, a button-type operating portion 40 (hereinafter referred to as a "press button") is provided on one side of the left and right sides of the two movable portions 11 and 12, and another rotating rod-type operating portion 50 (hereinafter referred to as a "rotating rod") is provided on the other end side opposite to the press button 40. As described later, the first movable portion 11 is integrally provided on the base portion 10 and is configured to rotate up and down relative to the base portion 10 with the rotation fulcrum 11c as the center. In addition, the second movable portion 12 is also integrally provided on the base portion 10 and is configured to move forward and backward relative to the base portion 10. In addition, the base portion 10 is attached to the belt portion 9 and can be worn on the body, for example, by being wrapped around the waist.

[0048] The first movable portion 11 can be moved from a closed upper jaw position to multiple open positions, as described below, by directly operating the push button 40 and the rotating lever 50. Meanwhile, the second movable portion 12 can be moved forward and backward in conjunction with the rotation of the first movable portion 11, as described below.

[0049] Figure 3 is Figure 1 The illustrated perspective view is a state where the auxiliary toy body 30 is attached to the action toy 1 . Figure 4 yes Figure 3 Side view in the manner shown.

[0050] When the auxiliary toy body 30 is installed, for example, the first movable portion 11 is opened to the maximum position that can be moved by hand. Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the first movable portion 11 is widely opened with its front end facing upward. In conjunction with the rotational movement (R1) of the first movable portion 11, the second movable portion 12 slides forward from its position within the base 10 (S1) toward the front of the base 10. In this state, as shown, the attachment portion 12a of the second movable portion 12, to which the auxiliary toy body 30 is attached, extends widely forward relative to the base 10.

[0051] In this manner, the first movable portion 11 is located further rearward than the mounting portion 12a of the second movable portion 12 (in other words, the second movable portion 12 protrudes forward relative to the base portion 10). Consequently, when the lower protrusion 30b of the auxiliary toy body 30 is pressed into and fitted into the mounting portion 12a, the first movable portion 11 does not become an obstacle, and the auxiliary toy body 30 can be mounted to the mounting portion 12a very easily.

[0052] Figure 51 is an exploded perspective view showing a link mechanism 60 for linking the first movable portion 11 and the second movable portion 12. Figure 6 It is used to illustrate the Figure 5 A schematic side view of the linkage of the link mechanism 60 is shown.

[0053] like Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, in the link mechanism 60 that links the first movable portion 11 and the second movable portion 12, a pair of left and right vertical arms 61 and a pair of left and right circular arc arms 63 are connected by a first connecting member 62. The front ends of the two circular arc arms 63 are connected to the second movable portion 12 via a second connecting member 64 extending in the left-right direction. In the second connecting member 64, the circular arc arms 63 are axially supported by left and right end shafts 64b of a shaft-like main body 64a extending in the left-right direction. A pair of left and right shaft pins 64c extending forward from the main body 64a and a compression spring 64d wound around each of the shaft pins 64c are engaged with the bottom 12c of the second movable portion 12.

[0054] The shaft pin 64c of the second connecting member 64 slidably engages with a front-to-rear extending engagement groove 12g formed in the bottom 12c of the second movable portion 12. Furthermore, the tip 64ct of the shaft pin 64c is thickened, preventing it from being removed from the engagement groove 12g. In other words, when the shaft pin 64c moves rearward, the compression spring 64d pushes the second movable portion 12 forward by pulling it rearward.

[0055] The link mechanism 60 is biased upward by a spring member (not shown) provided between the vertical arm 61 and the base 10. Specifically, when pressed downward by the first movable portion 11, the vertical arm 61 descends. However, when the pressure from the first movable portion 11 is released, the vertical arm 61 returns to its original position (i.e., ascends) due to the action of the spring member (not shown).

[0056] In the link mechanism 60, when the first movable portion 11 rotates, once the first movable portion 11 has rotated at least a predetermined angle, the pressing surface 11b at the rear end of the first movable portion 11 abuts against the front end 61t of the vertical arm 61. Further rotation after this abutment presses the vertical arm 61 downward, causing it to move vertically. This causes the second movable portion 12 to move horizontally forward via the arcuate arm 63 and the second connecting member 64.

[0057] In the state where the second movable part 12 protrudes forward, the auxiliary toy body 30 is mounted on the mounting part 12a in an embedded manner. At this time, the locking hooks 14 are provided on the left and right inner walls of the mounting part 12a, and the locking hooks 14 engage with the locking recesses 30g (see FIG. 1 ) provided on the lower protrusion 30b of the auxiliary toy body 30. Figure 3 and Figure 4 ) is engaged, and the auxiliary toy body 30 is locked in a manner that does not fall off.

[0058] After the auxiliary toy body 30 is mounted, the first movable portion 11 is rotated to close. Thus, the auxiliary toy body 30 is covered by the first movable portion 11 to such an extent that only the lower portion of the front surface side thereof can be slightly seen (see FIG. Figure 1 ). In addition, when the first movable portion 11 is closed, the front end 61t of the vertical arm 61 and the pressing surface 11b of the first movable portion 11 are separated (see Figure 2 ).

[0059] Figure 7 This is a front view of another state of the action toy 1.

[0060] Figure 7 The state shown is a state in which the first movable portion 11 is opened substantially horizontally. Figure 7 As for the operation of the state shown, after the installation of the auxiliary toy body 30 is completed and Figure 1 and Figure 2 In the closed state shown, the first movable portion 11 is opened by pressing a push button 40 located on one end of the base 10 (the right side in the figure). By pressing the push button 40, the first movable portion 11 is opened from its position where the auxiliary toy body 30 is hidden, allowing the entire auxiliary toy body 30 to be visible when the action toy 1 is viewed from the front. While details will be described later, the auxiliary toy body 30 is in a state not present when initially assembled, with the arms 35 open to the left and right. In this state, as described later, sound and light performances are performed.

[0061] Figure 8 It is used to set Figure 7 Exploded perspective view of the operating mechanism in the state shown.

[0062] like Figure 8As shown, the push button 40 has a cylindrical structure and is configured to be able to slide in the left-right direction relative to the base portion 10. A horizontal sliding member 41 is arranged on the inner side of the base portion relative to the push button 40 (the left side in the figure). One end 41e of the horizontal sliding member 41 faces the inner end 40e of the push button 40, and moves to the left in the figure under the pressing operation of the push button 40. In addition, an upwardly directed inclined surface 41a is provided at the other end (the left end in the figure) of the horizontal sliding member 41. Furthermore, a vertical sliding member 42 having a relative inclined surface 42a that abuts against the inclined surface 41a relative to the horizontal sliding member 41 is configured to be able to move in the up-down direction.

[0063] The vertical sliding member 42 is provided with an extension portion 42b, the upper end surface 42t of which protrudes upward from the base portion 10. The extension portion 42b can extend so as to contact the inner surface of the first movable portion 11. That is, by pressing the push button 40, the horizontal sliding member 41 moves horizontally and the vertical sliding member 42 moves upward. As a result, the upper end surface 42t of the extension portion 42b pushes the first movable portion 11 upward from the bottom side and rotates it. By this upward push, the first movable portion 11 moves upward. Figure 7 In the state shown, the front end 61t of the vertical arm 61 of the link mechanism 60 contacts the pressing surface 11b of the rear end of the first movable part 11, pressing the vertical arm 61 downward and moving it vertically. The vertical movement of the vertical arm 61 causes the second movable part 12 to move forward.

[0064] Furthermore, the horizontal sliding member 41 has a protrusion 41t below the inclined surface 41a, protruding further inward (to the left in the figure) from the base portion than the inclined surface 41a. The protrusion 41t faces, for example, a rubber switch 81, located on the circuit board 80 and located further inward from the base portion than the protrusion 41t. The rubber switch 81 is turned on and off by pressing the push button 40. This switching operation generates electrical system performances, such as sound and light.

[0065] A front sliding member 45 is provided on the front side of the horizontal sliding member 41, extending parallel to the horizontal sliding member 41 to the attachment position of the auxiliary toy body 30. This front sliding member 45 is configured to slide left and right relative to the base 10 in the same manner as the horizontal sliding member 41, and is biased toward the push button 40 by a spring 46. Furthermore, one end 45e of the front sliding member 45 is configured to contact the inner end 40e of the push button 40, while the front end 45t is configured to face and contact the operated portion 36 of the auxiliary toy body 30. Therefore, when the push button 40 is pressed, the front end 45t pushes the operated portion 36 into the auxiliary toy body 30. As a result, the auxiliary toy body 30 moves above the upper cover 33 while the two arms 35 open left and right.

[0066] Figure 9 It is an exploded perspective view showing a locking mechanism of the vertical sliding member 42 .

[0067] like Figure 9 As shown, when the vertical sliding member 42 moves upward, it is locked in the moved position, maintaining the open state of the first movable portion 11. For example, in the locking mechanism, a locking recess 42d is provided on the side of the vertical sliding member 42, and a locking claw 70, which is biased by a locking spring 72, engages with the locking recess 42d. Furthermore, at the lower end 42e of the vertical sliding member 42, the upper end 73a of the swing pin 73 is pivotally supported by a first shaft 74 via a swing pin slot 75. Furthermore, the swing pin 73 is rotatably supported by a second shaft 76 approximately midway along its length. Furthermore, the lower end 73d of the swing pin 73 can abut against the lock release cam 54.

[0068] In the locking mechanism thus constructed, the locking state ( Figure 9 For the vertical sliding member 42 in the locked state, the rotating lever 50 is rotated, the rotating shaft 53 rotates, and the lock release cam 54 pushes up the lower end 73d of the swing pin 73. As a result, the upper end 73a of the swing pin 73 moves downward and pulls the vertical sliding member 42 downward, releasing the lock.

[0069] Figure 10 It is a schematic side view showing the positional relationship between the first movable portion 11 and the second movable portion 12 .

[0070] The positional relationship between the first movable portion 11 and the second movable portion 12 before and during operation will be described. Furthermore, regarding the reference point for the positional relationship between the first movable portion 11 and the second movable portion 12, the reference point (P) when viewed from the side will be used to describe the two movable portions 11 and 12.

[0071] Regarding the reference point (P), in the first movable portion 11, the position of each state of the middle portion of the line connecting the rotation support 11c and the farthest portion 11t located at the farthest distance from the rotation support 11c, that is, the position of the closed state is set as the first position P1, and the state opened to the horizontal position ( Figure 7 On the other hand, the second movable portion 12 is positioned at the position where the auxiliary toy body 30 is mounted, that is, the position located on the inner side (rear side) of the base portion 10, as the third position P3, and the position where the first movable portion 11 is moved forward when horizontally opened is the fourth position P4.

[0072] In the state before the auxiliary toy body 30 is attached and the push button 40 is operated, the second movable portion 12 is located at the third position P3, and the first movable portion 11 is located at the first position P1 in the closed state ( Figure 10 In this state, the distance between the first movable part 11 and the second movable part 12 is the closest first distance (d1). In this state, when the action toy 1 is viewed from the front, the upper half of the auxiliary toy body 30 is covered by the first movable part 11 and is not visible ( Figure 1 and Figure 2 status shown).

[0073] When the first movable portion 11 is in the closed state, the push button 40 is pressed to rotate and move (R2) to a second position P2 (at a position approximately horizontal). Figure 10 In conjunction with this rotational movement, the second movable portion 12 slides forward from the third position P3 to the fourth position P4 (indicated by the solid line in FIG. Figure 10 The first movable part 11 and the second movable part 12 move away from each other toward the second position P2 and the fourth position P4. In this state, the second distance (d2) is greater than the first distance d1. As a result, the auxiliary toy body 30 is Figure 10 As shown in the figure, the auxiliary toy body 30 moves to the front side of the base body 10, and the covering state of the first movable part 11 disappears, and the auxiliary toy body 30 becomes visible as a whole ( Figure 7 In this state, various performances can be performed as described below.

[0074] Figure 11 1 is a perspective view showing the state of the auxiliary toy body 30 before the operation. Figure 12 It is a perspective view showing the state of the auxiliary toy body 30 after the operation.

[0075] like Figure 11As shown, the auxiliary toy body 30 is a multi-faceted box-shaped body having an upper protruding portion 30a and a lower protruding portion 30b and divided into an upper cover 33 and a lower cover 32. In addition, before the auxiliary toy body 30 is mounted on the mounting portion 12a, the upper cover 33 and the lower cover 32 are formed as shown in the figure. However, the lower cover 32 and the upper cover 33 are in the operating state (described later) Figure 12 In the state shown), the size ratio in the vertical direction can be Figure 11 In the state shown, the upper cover 33 is moved in a large manner. Furthermore, notch openings 33k extending in the vertical direction are provided on the left and right sides of the upper cover 33. Arm-shaped arm portions 35 are provided inside the two notch openings 33k (in the illustration, they appear to extend slightly outward, but are actually pushed inward).

[0076] The button-shaped operated portion 36 operated by the front sliding member 45 is provided with a button opening 32k so as to be exposed on the side of the lower cover 32. The side of the button opening 32k on the rear side of the lower cover 32 (the rear side of the operated portion 36) is open in a notch-like shape. The rear side opening is configured such that when the front end portion 45t of the front sliding member 45 is pressed inward (see FIG. 2 ), the operated portion 36 is opened. Figure 8 ) under, the second movable portion 12 is allowed to move forward. In addition, the left and right sides of the lower protrusion 30b are provided with a concave locking recess 30g that engages with the locking hook 14 of the mounting portion 12a as described above.

[0077] For the auxiliary toy body 30, if Figure 12 As shown, by pressing the operated portion 36, the upper cover 33 moves upward. This causes the inner wall 31 to extend upward on the front surface. As shown, the inner wall 31 has a shape with arcuate bulges on both sides, suitable for representing, for example, the torso of a robot or a character, and can be decorated with designs or seals as appropriate. Simultaneously with the movement of the upper cover 33, the arms 35 housed within the auxiliary toy body 30 open to the left and right. In this way, the auxiliary toy body 30, initially in a simple box shape, transforms into a humanoid figure with its arms outstretched by manipulation of the operated portion 36.

[0078] Figure 13 It is an exploded perspective view of the auxiliary toy body 30 .

[0079] The auxiliary toy body 30 is constructed as follows: the lower cover 32, with its front and rear covers 32a and 32b, holds the internal components in a movable manner. For example, a pair of left and right arms 35 have protrusions and depressions on one end that mimic finger shapes, creating a curved shape resembling the Japanese character "く." Arm through-holes 35b are formed at the elbows of the bent arms, through which the support shaft 32c of the rear cover 32b extends. Furthermore, long holes 35c extending along the length of the arms are provided at the other ends of the arms 35, and a single pin 34p extends through each of these long holes 35c. This allows the arms 35 to be rotatably supported, with the support shaft 32c serving as a fulcrum, by the vertical movement of the pin 34p.

[0080] A shaft pin 34p is provided on the vertically slidable vertical sliding portion 34. The vertically slidable portion 34 has a long, vertically extending sliding support hole 34h extending through the block-shaped body portion 34a. A sliding support pin 32d extends through the long sliding support hole 34h. This sliding support pin 32d protrudes rearward from the front cover 32a and engages with the support shaft 32c of the rear cover 32b. This sliding support pin 32d supports the vertically slidable vertical portion 34.

[0081] The upper and lower sliding portion 34 is provided with a shaft pin 34p at the lower end of the trunk portion 34a, and further, a locking piece 34f extends downward. The locking piece 34f is provided with a hook-shaped hook piece at the lower end, and is configured to be engaged with the hook hole 36f of the operated portion 36. On the other hand, an upper cover connecting portion 34t connected to the upper cover 33 is provided at the upper end of the trunk portion 34a. As a result, the upper and lower sliding portion 34 can move integrally with the upper cover 33. In addition, the upper and lower sliding portion 34 is pressed and biased upward by the upper biasing spring 37. In addition, the operated portion 36 is pressed and biased toward the outside of the lower cover 32 by the outward biasing spring 38.

[0082] The auxiliary toy body 30 thus constructed is pressed and moved by the operated portion 36, thereby releasing the locking of the hook hole 36f from the locking piece 34f. This releases the locked state of the vertical slide 34, allowing it to move upward due to the upper biasing spring 37. As a result, the upper cover 33 moves upward, and the arm 35 rotates to open, expanding and protruding from the outer shell.

[0083] Figure 14 It is a vertical cross-sectional view of a main part for showing an example of a performance in a mounted state of the auxiliary toy body 30 .

[0084] like Figure 14As shown, the base 10 is provided with, for example, a power supply 26 and a control board 27 on the rear side where the auxiliary toy body 30 is mounted. A light-emitting unit 25, such as a light-emitting diode, is provided on the control board 27, serving as a light-producing output unit. Furthermore, a light-passing hole 28h is formed in a wall 28 on the front side (on the auxiliary toy body side) of the location where the light-emitting unit 25 is provided. Furthermore, the wall 28 is formed as an inclined surface facing forward to facilitate light diffusion. Furthermore, a sound-producing unit 24, such as a speaker, serving as a sound-producing output unit, is provided at an appropriate location on the base 10 so that sound is emitted forward.

[0085] At least a portion of the auxiliary toy body 30 is made of a translucent material. For example, when the light-emitting portion 25 illuminates the auxiliary toy body 30 from behind, the light-emitting portion 25 emits light that changes color, allowing the light to be seen through the auxiliary toy body 30. This allows for a performance that appears to show the color of the auxiliary toy body 30 changing. Furthermore, if the lower cover 32 and upper cover 33 of the auxiliary toy body 30 are substantially entirely made of a translucent material, the light passing through them allows the internal drive mechanism of the auxiliary toy body 30 to be reflected as a shadow. Furthermore, patterns drawn on the inner wall 31 can also be reflected by the light passing through them.

[0086] Furthermore, the auxiliary toy body 30 is provided with an identification portion 39 on the lower protrusion 30b that is inserted into the mounting portion 12a. This identification portion 39 contains different information depending on the plurality of auxiliary toy bodies 30 prepared, and the identification portion 23 provided on the mounting portion 12a identifies the type of auxiliary toy body 30. Based on this identification information, a performance corresponding to the type of auxiliary toy body 30 is performed.

[0087] Figure 15 1 is an exploded perspective view of the main parts of the operating mechanism for driving the first movable portion 11 using the rotating rod 50 (also, it is a view viewed from the rear). Figure 16 It is a schematic side view showing the operation of the first movable portion 11 when driven using the rotating rod 50 .

[0088] like Figure 15 As shown, the rotating lever 50 is a crank-shaped operating member that rotates about a first rotation axis C50 in the left-right direction of the base 10. The rotating lever 50 is provided with, for example, a first gear 51 on the first rotation axis C50. Furthermore, a rotating shaft 53 is provided on the bottom side of the base 10, parallel to the first rotation axis C50. The rotating shaft 53 is provided with a second gear 52 that meshes with the first gear 51, and the rotating shaft 53 is configured to rotate in conjunction with the rotating lever 50.

[0089] A pair of cam portions 53a are provided on the rotating shaft 53 at predetermined intervals in the left-right direction. The upper and lower drive shafts 55, which can abut the cam surfaces (outer peripheral surfaces of the cam portions) of each cam portion 53a, are configured to be movable up and down. The cam portions 53a have cam surfaces that are significantly eccentric relative to the rotation axis C53 of the rotating shaft 53, and contact the lower end surfaces 55b of the two upper and lower drive shafts 55, causing the two upper and lower drive shafts 55 to move up and down synchronously. In addition, the upper front ends 55t of the upper and lower drive shafts 55 can protrude from the base portion 10 and abut against the inner surface of the first movable portion 11. Furthermore, the upper and lower drive shafts 55 are biased downward by spring members 56 arranged around the shafts.

[0090] By rotating the rotating rod 50, Figure 16 As shown, the upper front end 55t of the upper and lower drive shafts 55 pushes up the inner surface of the first movable part 11. This pushing-up action enables the first movable part 11 to rotate and move up and down (R3) between a slightly open state (intermediate position P5) and a closed state (first position P1). That is, under the operation of the rotating rod 50, the first movable part 11 reciprocates between the intermediate position P5 between the first position P1 and the second position P2 and the first position P1. Such a small up and down movement is suitable for actions such as chewing something. In addition, the up and down movement of the first movable part 11 is set in a gear ratio such as a synchronous rotation of the rotation operation and a reciprocating movement.

[0091] Hereinafter, an example of how to play and perform the action toy 1 will be described.

[0092] In addition, there are various modes in the gameplay, such as the transformation mode and attack mode of the protagonist (hero). First, the operator wraps the belt 9 around the waist so that the base 10 of the action toy 1 comes to the front of the waist. Next, turn on the power switch on the base 10 side to start the operation.

[0093] First, an example of the transformation mode will be described.

[0094] The first movable portion 11 is opened widely, and the open state at this time is the state of opening to the maximum position that can be reached. At this time, the opening action of the first movable portion 11 is detected and the effect sound is output. In this state, the second movable portion 12 also moves forward.

[0095] Next, the auxiliary toy body 30 is attached to the attachment portion 12a. An attachment sound is emitted at this time. The type and specific information of the attached auxiliary toy body 30 are then read. If the auxiliary toy body 30 is, for example, food, the closing action of the first movable portion 11 is reminiscent of, for example, closing the mouth. During this operation, a closing sound effect, a sound effect of consuming a specific food, and the name of the food type are emitted, along with a transformation standby sound.

[0096] Next, by rotating the rotating rod 50, the first movable portion 11 moves slightly up and down (that is, reciprocates between the intermediate position P5 and the first position P1), reproducing the action of chewing the attached auxiliary toy body 30. This chewing action is detected, and a chewing sound is output accordingly. Furthermore, a transformation standby sound is also output during this period, serving as background music (BGM) and superimposed on the chewing sound. Furthermore, one rotation of the rotating rod 50 is synchronized with the reciprocating up and down movement and the chewing sound.

[0097] After chewing for a certain amount of time, press button 40 (the transformation button). A sound effect is emitted, signaling the transformation. Following this sound effect, the transformation sound, the name of the auxiliary toy body 30, and the corresponding dialogue are output. Furthermore, the light-emitting unit 25 illuminates, and the color of the light transmitted through the auxiliary toy body 30 changes, creating a lighting effect that makes the auxiliary toy body 30 appear to be changing into various colors. A transformation completion sound is then emitted, signaling the completion of the transformation.

[0098] After the transformation is completed, you can perform special moves.

[0099] When the transformation is complete, the first movable section 11 is locked in the open state by pressing the button 40. However, the first movable section 11 is closed by rotating the rotating lever 50. At this time, a closing sound is output. Alternatively, the first movable section 11 can be closed manually at this time.

[0100] Then, by rotating the rotary rod 50 and repeating the up-and-down movement of the first movable portion 11 (reciprocating between the intermediate position P5 and the first position P1), a sound effect corresponding to the special move is output.

[0101] After that, the push button 40 is pressed. At this time, the sound effect is output again, the name of the sub-toy body 30 is output, and the sound effect of the special move is output.

[0102] Furthermore, after the above state, when the loaded subsidiary toy body 30 is removed and a different subsidiary toy body 30 is installed, an additional performance mode can be performed by reinstalling the different subsidiary toy body 30 .

[0103] As described above, the present form of the action toy 1 can provide an action toy 1 in which the first movable part 11 and the second movable part are moved from mutually separated positions to different positions with the base part 10 as the center, thereby realizing an enjoyment mode utilizing these two actions.

[0104] In this form of the action toy 1, the movement distance of the first movable part 11 is configured to be greater than the movement distance of the second movable part 12, and the second distance (d2) (the distance from the second position P2 to the fourth position P4) is configured to be greater than the first distance (d1) (the distance from the first position P1 to the third position P3). This allows for actions in which the amount of change in the movement positions of the first movable part 11 and the second movable part 12 and their relative positions are correlated. As a result, the two movable parts can assume close and separated states. In particular, when viewed from above, when the first movable part 11 is located above the second movable part 12 to which the auxiliary toy body 30 is attached, the auxiliary toy body 30 can be covered by the first movable part 11.

[0105] In the action toy 1 of this form, the operated portion 36 is exposed on the outer surface of the auxiliary toy body 30 . Therefore, the operated portion 36 can be easily operated from the outside, and predetermined performances can be performed in conjunction with the operation of the operated portion 36 .

[0106] Furthermore, by preparing a plurality of different auxiliary toy bodies 30 , not only can the appearances thereof be made different, but also the identification unit 23 on the base body 10 side can identify the type and output a performance corresponding to the type.

[0107] In the action toy 1 of this embodiment, the performance output portion on the side of the base 10 to which the auxiliary toy body 30 is attached is configured to be able to irradiate light at least toward the auxiliary toy body 30. Furthermore, the auxiliary toy body 30 is made of a light-transmitting material, thereby enabling performances in which light passes through the auxiliary toy body 30.

[0108] In this form of the action toy 1, the first movable portion 11 is movable from the open position (second position P2) to the closed position (first position P1), and in conjunction with this, the second movable portion 12 is movable from the outside of the base portion 10 (fourth position P4) to the inside of the base portion 10 (third position P3). Therefore, a series of actions from the installation of the auxiliary toy body 30 to the storage and installation completion can be performed as a mechanically linked action.

[0109] In addition, according to this form of the action toy 1, the first movable part 11 moves back and forth between the intermediate position P5 closer to the second position P2 and the first position P1 in conjunction with the rotation operation of the rotating rod 50, thereby, for example, when the first movable part 11 imitates the upper jaw, an action such as chewing something can be performed.

[0110] In addition, in the action toy 1 of this form, the rotating rod 50 rotates once and the first movable part 11 rotates back and forth once simultaneously, thereby providing a comfortable operational feeling to the user performing the operation.

[0111] While one embodiment of the present invention has been described above, the present invention can be modified as appropriate within the scope of its technical concept. For example, in the embodiment described above, the means for identifying the auxiliary toy body 30 is not particularly limited, and the structure of the identification unit 23 can utilize, for example, near field communication (NFC), a concave-convex protrusion shape, or communication.

[0112] In the above embodiment, one rotation of the rotating rod 50 and one vertical reciprocation of the first movable portion 11 are synchronized, but the present invention is not limited thereto, and multiple vertical movements may be performed during one rotation.

[0113] In addition, the performance of the auxiliary toy body 30 in the above embodiment is the movement of the shell and the movement of the arm 35, but the present invention is not limited to this structure. For example, the auxiliary toy body 30 may be provided with a light emitting unit or a sound emitting unit to output a performance such as sound or light.
