[0043] Hereinafter, an action toy as one form of the present invention will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings. Furthermore, the directions described in the following description refer to the front-back, left-right, and up-down directions when the action toy is worn on the body.

[0044] Figure 1 This is a perspective view obtained by observing one form of the action toy 1 of the present invention from a diagonal front view. Figure 2 yes Figure 1 The side view of the action toy 1 shown.

[0045] Figure 1 and Figure 2 The action toy 1 shown is a prop used in TV series, animations, etc., when a hero transforms; it is a so-called "role-playing toy" used to become a hero.

[0046] Action toy 1, for example, has a first movable part 11 that mimics the upper jaw and a second movable part 12 that mimics the lower jaw, enabling actions such as moving the upper jaw up and down to eat food. Additionally, a button-type operating part 40 (hereinafter referred to as a "press button") is provided on one side of each of the two movable parts 11 and 12, and a rotating lever-type operating part 50 (hereinafter referred to as a "rotating lever") is provided on the opposite side. The first movable part 11 is integrally provided on the base part 10 as described later, and is configured to rotate up and down relative to the base part 10 about a pivot point 11c. Similarly, the second movable part 12 is integrally provided on the base part 10, and is configured to move back and forth relative to the base part 10. Furthermore, the base part 10 is attached to a strap 9, allowing it to be worn around the waist for example.

[0047] Regarding the first movable part 11, by pressing the button 40 and rotating the lever 50, and thus by directly operating the first movable part 11, it can move from the closed position to multiple open positions, as described later. On the other hand, as described later, the second movable part 12 can move back and forth in conjunction with the rotation of the first movable part 11.

[0048] Figure 3 Is Figure 1 A perspective view of the action toy 1 with the auxiliary toy body 30 installed. Figure 4 yes Figure 3 The side view shown.

[0049] When installing the auxiliary toy body 30, for example, the first movable part 11 is opened to its maximum position where it can be moved by hand. Thus, as... Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the first movable part 11 is opened wide with its front end facing upward. In conjunction with the rotational movement (R1) of the first movable part 11, the second movable part 12 slides forward from its position inside the base part 10 (S1). In this state, as shown, the mounting portion 12a of the second movable part 12 for mounting the auxiliary toy body 30 extends significantly forward relative to the base part 10.

[0050] In this way, the first movable part 11 is located at a position further back than the mounting part 12a of the second movable part 12 (in other words, the second movable part 12 extends forward relative to the base part 10). As a result, when the lower protrusion 30b of the auxiliary toy body 30 is pressed into and fitted into the mounting part 12a, the first movable part 11 will not become an obstacle, and the mounting of the auxiliary toy body 30 to the mounting part 12a can be performed very easily.

[0051] Figure 5 This is an exploded perspective view showing the linkage mechanism 60 used to link the first movable part 11 and the second movable part 12. Additionally, Figure 6 It is used to illustrate based on Figure 5 A schematic side view of the linkage mechanism 60 shown.

[0052] like Figure 5 and Figure 6As shown, in the linkage mechanism 60 that links the first movable part 11 and the second movable part 12, a pair of vertical arms 61 and a pair of arc arms 63 are connected by a first connecting member 62. The front ends of the two arc arms 63 are connected to the second movable part 12 via a second connecting member 64 extending in the left-right direction. In the second connecting member 64, the left and right end shafts 64b of the shaft-shaped main body 64a extending in the left-right direction support the arc arms 63. A pair of left and right axle pins 64c extending forward from the main body 64a and compression springs 64d respectively wound around and installed on the axle pins 64c are engaged with the bottom 12c of the second movable part 12.

[0053] The pin 64c of the second connecting member 64 can be slidably engaged in an engagement groove 12g extending in the front-rear direction formed in the bottom 12c of the second movable part 12. Furthermore, the front end 64ct of the pin 64c has a thicker front end, making it a structure that cannot be pulled out of the engagement groove 12g. That is, the structure is such that when the pin 64c moves rearward, the compression spring 64d pushes the second movable part 12 forward by utilizing the structure that stretches the second movable part 12 rearward.

[0054] Furthermore, the linkage 60 is subjected to an upward force by a spring member (not shown) located between the vertical arm 61 and the base portion 10. That is, when the first movable part 11 presses downward, the vertical arm 61 descends, but when the pressing by the first movable part 11 is released, the vertical arm 61 returns to its original position (i.e., rises) due to the action of the spring member (not shown).

[0055] For the linkage mechanism 60, when the first movable part 11 rotates, after rotating more than a predetermined angle, the pressing surface 11b at the rear end of the first movable part 11 abuts against the front end 61t of the vertical arm 61. Through further rotation after this contact, the vertical arm 61 is pressed downwards and moves vertically. Consequently, the second movable part 12 moves forward in the horizontal direction via the arc arm 63 and the second connecting member 64.

[0056] With the second movable part 12 protruding forward, the auxiliary toy body 30 is inserted into the mounting part 12a. At this time, locking hooks 14 are provided on the left and right inner walls of the mounting part 12a, and the locking hooks 14 and locking recesses 30g (see reference) are provided in the lower protrusion 30b of the auxiliary toy body 30. Figure 3 and Figure 4 The toy body 30 is locked in place in a way that prevents it from falling off.

[0057] After installing the auxiliary toy body 30, a rotation operation is performed to close the first movable part 11. As a result, the auxiliary toy body 30 is covered by the first movable part 11 to the extent that only the lower portion of its front surface can be slightly observed (see reference). Figure 1 Furthermore, when the first movable part 11 is closed, the front end 61t of the vertical arm 61 and the pressing surface 11b of the first movable part 11 are separated (see reference). Figure 2 ).

[0058] Figure 7 This is the main view of other states in Action Toy 1.

[0059] Figure 7 The state shown is the state in which the first movable part 11 is opened approximately horizontally. For a configuration where... Figure 7 Regarding the operation of the state shown, after the aforementioned auxiliary toy body 30 is installed and Figure 1 and Figure 2 In the closed state shown, the action toy 11 is opened by pressing the button 40 located on one end of the base 10 (right side in the figure). By pressing the button 40, when viewing the action toy 1 from the front, the first movable part 11 opens from its hidden state to the point where the entire sub-toy body 30 can be observed. Further details will be described later, but the sub-toy body 30 is now in a state not present at the initial installation, i.e., with the arms 35 open to the left and right. Furthermore, in this state, as described later, sound and light-based performances are performed.

[0060] Figure 8 It means to set as Figure 7 An exploded 3D view of the motion mechanism in the shown state.

[0061] like Figure 8 As shown, the press button 40 has a cylindrical structure and is designed to slide horizontally relative to the base portion 10. A horizontal sliding member 41 is disposed on the inner side of the base portion (left side in the figure) relative to the press button 40. One end 41e of this horizontal sliding member 41 faces the inner end 40e of the press button 40 and moves to the left in the figure when the press button 40 is pressed. In addition, an upward inclined surface 41a is provided on the other end of the horizontal sliding member 41 (left end in the figure). Furthermore, a vertical sliding member 42, which has an opposing inclined surface 42a that abuts against the inclined surface 41a relative to the horizontal sliding member 41, is designed to move vertically.

[0062] The vertical sliding member 42 is provided with an extension 42b, the upper end face 42t of which protrudes upward from the base portion 10. This extension 42b extends to contact the inner surface of the first movable portion 11. That is, by pressing the button 40, the horizontal sliding member 41 moves horizontally and the vertical sliding member 42 moves upward. As a result, the upper end face 42t of the extension 42b pushes the first movable portion 11 upward from below and causes it to rotate. Through this upward pushing action, the first movable portion 11... Figure 7 When the state shown is open, the front end 61t of the vertical arm 61 of the linkage mechanism 60 abuts against the pressing surface 11b of the rear end of the first movable part 11, pressing the vertical arm 61 downward and causing it to move vertically. Through this vertical movement of the vertical arm 61, the second movable part 12 moves forward.

[0063] Furthermore, in the horizontal sliding member 41, a protrusion 41t is provided at the lower part of the inclined surface 41a, protruding further inward into the base (to the left in the figure) than the inclined surface 41a. The protrusion 41t is opposite to, for example, a rubber switch 81 disposed on the circuit board 80 at a position closer to the base than the protrusion 41t. The rubber switch 81 is switched on and off by pressing the button 40. This switch operation is used to perform electrical system functions, such as sound generation and light emission.

[0064] 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 mounting position of the auxiliary toy body 30. This front sliding member 45 is configured to slide relative to the base portion 10 in the same left-right direction as the horizontal sliding member 41, and is pressed against the 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 button 40, and the front end 45t is configured to face and contact the operated portion 36 of the auxiliary toy body 30. Therefore, by pressing the button 40, the front end 45t is pressed into the auxiliary toy body 30 by the operated portion 36. As a result, the two arms 35 of the auxiliary toy body 30 open to the left and right while moving upwards above the upper cover 33.

[0065] Figure 9 This is a three-dimensional exploded view showing the locking mechanism of the vertical sliding member 42.

[0066] like Figure 9As shown, the vertical sliding member 42 is locked in the moving position when it moves upward, maintaining the open state of the first movable part 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 forceped by the locking spring 72, engages in the locking recess 42d. In addition, at the lower end 42e of the vertical sliding member 42, the upper end 73a of the swing pin 73 is supported by the first shaft 74 via the swing pin elongated hole 75. Furthermore, the swing pin 73 is supported by the second shaft 76 at approximately the middle position in the length direction, allowing it to rotate. In addition, the lower end 73d of the swing pin 73 can abut against the locking release cam 54.

[0067] In this type of locking mechanism, the upward movement results in a locked state. Figure 9 Regarding the vertical sliding member 42 (in its current state), rotating the rotating rod 50 causes the rotating shaft 53 to rotate, and the locking 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.

[0068] Figure 10 This is a schematic side view showing the positional relationship between the first movable part 11 and the second movable part 12.

[0069] The positional relationship between the first movable part 11 and the second movable part 12 before and during operation will be explained. Furthermore, regarding the reference point for the positional relationship between the first movable part 11 and the second movable part 12, the reference point (P) in the side view will be used to explain the two movable parts 11 and 12.

[0070] Regarding the reference point (P), in the first movable part 11, the position of each state position, i.e., the closed state position, is set as the middle part of the line connecting the rotation fulcrum 11c and the farthest part 11t located at the farthest distance from the rotation fulcrum 11c. The open state is set to the horizontal state. Figure 7 The state shown is set to the second position. On the other hand, in the second movable part 12, the state of each position of the part where the auxiliary toy body 30 is installed, that is, the state located inside (rear side) of the base part 10, is set to the third position P3, and the state of moving forward when the first movable part 11 is opened horizontally is set to the fourth position P4.

[0071] Before the auxiliary toy body 30 is installed and the button 40 is operated, the second movable part 12 is in the third position P3, and the first movable part 11 is in the closed first position P1. Figure 10(The state is shown using a double-dotted line). 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, approximately the upper half of the sub-toy body 30 is covered by the first movable part 11 and is therefore invisible. Figure 1 and Figure 2 (The state shown).

[0072] For the first movable part 11, in its closed state, pressing the button 40 causes it to rotate (R2) to a roughly horizontal second position P2. Figure 10 (The positions are indicated by solid lines in the text). In conjunction with this rotational movement, the second movable part 12 slides forward from the third position P3 and moves to the fourth position P4 (in...). Figure 10 The position indicated by the solid line in the middle) slides (S2). This movement is smaller than the movement (rotational movement R1 and sliding movement S1) when loading the auxiliary toy body 3, but the first movable part 11 and the second movable part 12 move away from each other to the second position P2 and the fourth position P4, and the second distance (d2) in this state is greater than the first distance d1. As a result, the auxiliary toy body 30 as Figure 10 As shown, the toy body moves towards the front of the base 10, and the covering of the first movable part 11 disappears, making the entire sub-toy body 30 observable. Figure 7 (The state shown). In this state, as described later, various performances can be performed.

[0073] Figure 11 This is a 3D diagram showing the state of the secondary toy body 30 before its movement. Figure 12 It is a three-dimensional diagram showing the state of the auxiliary toy body 30 after its movement.

[0074] like Figure 11 As shown, the auxiliary toy body 30 is a multifaceted box shape with an upper protrusion 30a and a lower protrusion 30b, divided into an upper cover 33 and a lower cover 32. Furthermore, in the state before the auxiliary toy body 30 is installed on the mounting part 12a, it has a continuous outer shell surface with the upper cover 33 and the lower cover 32, as shown in the figure. However, in the operating state described later (…), the lower cover 32 and the upper cover 33… Figure 12 In the state shown, the size ratio in the vertical direction can be... Figure 11 The state shown is large-scale movement. In addition, there are notches 33k extending vertically on the left and right sides of the upper cover 33. Arm-shaped arms 35 are arranged inside the two notches 33k (in the illustration, they appear to protrude slightly outward, but are actually pushed inward).

[0075] Furthermore, the button-shaped operated part 36, operated by the front sliding member 45, is provided with a button opening 32k exposed on the side of the lower cover 32. The button opening 32k has a notch-like open shape on the rear side of the lower cover 32 (the rear side of the operated part 36). This rear opening is structured such that the front end 45t of the front sliding member 45 is pressed inwards into the operated part 36 (see reference). Figure 8 Under these conditions, the second movable part 12 is allowed to move forward. In addition, on the left and right sides of the lower protrusion 30b, there are concave locking recesses 30g that engage with the locking hooks 14 of the mounting part 12a as described above.

[0076] For the secondary toy body 30, such as Figure 12 As shown, the upper cover 33 moves upward by pressing the operated part 36. This causes the inner wall 31 to extend upward from the front surface. The inner wall 31, as shown, is bulging on both sides in an arc shape. For example, patterns or stamps can be appropriately placed on its surface to represent the shape of a robot's torso or a character. Simultaneously with the movement of the upper cover 33, the two arms 35 housed inside the sub-toy body 30 open to the left and right. Thus, the sub-toy body 30, operated by the operated part 36, transforms from a simple box shape into a humanoid figure with outstretched arms.

[0077] Figure 13 This is an exploded 3D view of the auxiliary toy body 30.

[0078] The auxiliary toy body 30 has the following structure: the lower cover 32, with its front cover 32a and rear cover 32b arranged in a front-to-back configuration, holds the internal components in a movable manner. For example, the left and right pairs of arms 35 have finger-like protrusions and indentations at one end, forming a curved shape resembling the Japanese character "く". Furthermore, an arm through-hole 35b is formed at the elbow of the curved arm, through which the support shaft 32c of the rear cover 32b passes. Additionally, an arm elongated hole 35c, extending along the length of the arm, is provided at the other end of each arm 35, through which a pin 34p passes. Thus, the arms 35 are rotatable, supported by the support shaft 32c and moving up and down via the pin 34p.

[0079] A pivot pin 34p is provided on the vertical sliding portion 34, which is capable of sliding vertically. In the vertical sliding portion 34, a long, vertically elongated sliding support hole 34h is provided in the block-shaped body 34a, extending through the front and rear directions. A sliding support pin 32d passes through the sliding support hole 34h, protruding rearward from the front cover 32a and engaging with the support shaft 32c of the rear cover 32b. Using this sliding support pin 32d, the vertical sliding portion 34 is supported and can slide vertically.

[0080] In the sliding part 34, a pivot pin 34p is provided at the lower end of the body 34a, and a locking piece 34f extends downward. This locking piece 34f has a hook-shaped hook at its lower end and is configured to engage with the hook hole 36f of the operated part 36. On the other hand, an upper cover connecting part 34t, which connects to the upper cover 33, is provided at the upper end of the body 34a. Thus, the sliding part 34 can move integrally with the upper cover 33. Furthermore, the sliding part 34 is pressed upward by an upward force-applying spring 37. Additionally, the operated part 36 is pressed outward by an outward force-applying spring 38 towards the outside of the lower cover 32.

[0081] The auxiliary toy body 30, thus configured in this way, is released from locking of the hook hole 36f onto the locking piece 34f by being pressed and moved by the operating part 36. As a result, the locked state of the upper and lower sliding part 34 is released, and it moves upward by means of the upper force spring 37. As a result, the following performance occurs: the upper cover 33 moves upward, and the arm 35 rotates in an opening manner while opening outward from the outer shell.

[0082] Figure 14 This is a vertical sectional view of the main part, used to show an example of a performance of the auxiliary toy body 30 in its installed state.

[0083] like Figure 14 As shown, in the base portion 10, a power supply 26 and a control board 27 are provided, for example, on the rear side where the auxiliary toy body 30 is mounted. A light-emitting part 25, such as a light-emitting diode, which can serve as a light output unit, is provided on the control board 27. Furthermore, a light-passing hole 28h is formed on the wall surface 28 on the front side (auxiliary toy body side) where the light-emitting part 25 is located; moreover, the wall surface 28 is configured as an inclined surface facing forward so that light can easily diffuse. In addition, a sound-emitting part 24, such as a speaker, which serves as a sound output unit, is provided at an appropriate location on the base portion 10 to emit sound forward.

[0084] At least a portion of the auxiliary toy body 30 is made of a translucent material. For example, when light shines on the auxiliary toy body 30 from behind by the light-emitting part 25, the color of the light emitted by the light-emitting part 25 can be visually recognized through the auxiliary toy body 30, thus allowing the performance to resemble a color change of the auxiliary toy body 30. Furthermore, when the lower cover 32 and upper cover 33 of the auxiliary toy body 30 are substantially entirely made of a translucent material, the drive structure inside the auxiliary toy body 30 is projected as a shadow by allowing light to pass through. In addition, patterns and the like drawn on the inner wall 31 can also be projected through the transmission of light.

[0085] Furthermore, in the auxiliary toy body 30, an identification part 39 is provided at the lower protrusion 30b that is inserted into the mounting part 12a. This identification part 39 has different information depending on the multiple prepared auxiliary toy bodies 30, and the type of auxiliary toy body 30 is identified by the identification part 23 provided in the mounting part 12a. Based on this identification information, a performance corresponding to the type of auxiliary toy body 30 is performed.

[0086] Figure 15 This is an exploded perspective view showing the main parts of the action mechanism that uses the rotating rod 50 to drive the first movable part 11 (also, it is a view obtained from the rear). Additionally, Figure 16 This is a schematic side view showing the operation of the first movable part 11 when it is driven by the rotating rod 50.

[0087] like Figure 15 As shown, the rotating rod 50 is a crank-shaped operating member that rotates about a first rotation axis C50 in the left-right direction along the base portion 10. For example, a first gear 51 is provided on the rotating rod 50 along the first rotation axis C50. Additionally, a rotating shaft 53 is provided on the bottom side of the base portion 10, parallel to the first rotation axis C50. A second gear 52 is provided on the rotating shaft 53 that meshes with the first gear 51, and the rotating shaft 53 is configured to rotate in conjunction with the rotating rod 50.

[0088] A pair of cam portions 53a are provided at predetermined intervals in the left-right direction on the rotation shaft 53. Up-down drive shafts 55, capable of abutting against the cam surfaces (outer peripheral surfaces of the cam portions) of each cam portion 53a, are configured to move up and down. The cam portions 53a have cam surfaces that are significantly eccentric relative to the rotation axis C53 of the rotation shaft 53, and contact the lower end surfaces 55b of the two up-down drive shafts 55, causing the two up-down drive shafts 55 to move up and down synchronously. Furthermore, the upper front end 55t of the up-down drive shafts 55 can protrude from the base portion 10 and abut against the inner surface of the first movable portion 11. Additionally, a spring member 56 arranged around the shaft applies downward force to the up-down drive shafts 55.

[0089] By rotating the rotating rod 50, thus... Figure 16As shown, the upper front end 55t of the up-down drive shaft 55 pushes up the inner surface of the first movable part 11. This pushing action allows the first movable part 11 to rotate 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, located between the first position P1 and the second position P2, and the first position P1. Such a small up-down movement is suitable for actions such as chewing. In addition, the up-down movement of the first movable part 11 is set with a gear ratio, for example, in a way that synchronizes one rotation of the rotational operation with one reciprocating movement.

[0090] The following is an explanation of how to play with Action Toy 1 and an example of its performance.

[0091] Furthermore, the gameplay includes various modes such as the protagonist's (hero's) transformation mode and attack mode. First, the operator secures the strap 9 to the waist by bringing the base 10 of the action toy to the front surface of the waist. Next, the power switch on the side of the base 10 is turned on to begin operation.

[0092] First, let's illustrate one example of the transformation mode.

[0093] The first movable part 11 is opened to its maximum possible position. At this time, the opening action of the first movable part 11 is detected, and a sound effect is output. In this state, the second movable part 12 also moves forward.

[0094] Next, the auxiliary toy body 30 is installed on the mounting section 12a. At this time, an installation sound is output. Then, the category and specific information of the installed auxiliary toy body 30 are read. If the auxiliary toy body 30 is imagined to be, for example, food, the action of closing the first movable part 11 is associated with, for example, the action of closing the mouth. During this operation, a closing effect sound is output, as well as an effect sound of eating a specific food, and the type name, etc., and at the same time, a transformation standby sound is also output.

[0095] Next, by rotating the rotating rod 50, the first movable part 11 moves up and down slightly (that is, it moves back and forth between the middle position P5 and the first position P1), thus performing the action of chewing the attached auxiliary toy body 30. This chewing action is detected, and a chewing sound is output accordingly. In addition, the transformation standby sound is also output during this period, serving as background music (BGM) and overlapping with the chewing sound. Furthermore, the rotation of the rotating rod 50 one full turn, its up-and-down reciprocating movement, and one chewing sound are synchronized at this time.

[0096] After chewing for a certain period, press button 40 (the transformation button). At this time, a sound effect is output, initiating the transformation. Following this sound effect, a transformation sound, the name of the secondary toy 30, and corresponding dialogue are output. Additionally, the light-emitting part 25 emits light, and through changes in its light color, the light transmitted through the secondary toy 30 changes color, creating a lighting effect as if the secondary toy 30 is changing into multiple colors. Afterward, a transformation completion sound is output, indicating the transformation is complete.

[0097] After transformation, it can unleash its ultimate attack.

[0098] When the transformation is complete, pressing button 40 locks the first movable part 11 in the open position. However, rotating the rotating lever 50 closes the first movable part 11. At this time, a shutdown sound is emitted. Alternatively, the first movable part 11 can be manually closed at this time.

[0099] Then, the special attack standby sound is output. Then, by rotating the rotating rod 50, the first movable part 11 is repeatedly moved up and down (moving back and forth between the middle position P5 and the first position P1), thereby outputting the effect sound corresponding to the special attack.

[0100] Next, press button 40. At this time, the sound effect will be output again, along with the name of the secondary toy 30 and the sound effect of the special attack.

[0101] Furthermore, after the aforementioned state, if the loaded sub-toy body 30 is removed and different sub-toy bodies 30 are installed, additional performance modes generated by reinstalling different sub-toy bodies 30 can be performed.

[0102] As described above, the action toy 1 of this type can provide an action toy 1 that can realize a pleasure mode utilizing these two actions by moving the first movable part 11 and the second movable part from their positions away from each other to different positions with the base part 10 as the center.

[0103] In this type of action toy 1, the movement distance of the first movable part 11 is configured to be greater than that of the second movable part 12, and the second distance (d2) (the distance from the second position P2 to the fourth position P4) is larger than the first distance (d1) (the distance from the first position P1 to the third position P3). Therefore, actions that correlate the change in the movement position of the first movable part 11 and the second movable part 12 with their relative positions can be performed. As a result, the two movable parts can be in both a close-up state and a separated state. In particular, when viewed from above, when the first movable part 11 is located above the second movable part 12 on which the auxiliary toy body 30 is mounted, it can be configured to cover the auxiliary toy body 30 using the first movable part 11.

[0104] In this type of action toy 1, the manipulated part 36 is exposed on the outer surface of the sub-toy body 30, so the manipulated part 36 can be easily operated from the outside, and a predetermined performance can be performed in conjunction with the movement of the manipulated part 36.

[0105] Furthermore, by preparing multiple different auxiliary toy bodies 30, not only can their appearance be set to be different, but the type can also be identified by the identification part 23 on the base part 10 side and output the performance corresponding to that type.

[0106] In this type of action toy 1, the performance output section on the base part 10 side where the auxiliary toy body 30 is mounted is configured to at least be able to irradiate light relative to the auxiliary toy body 30. Furthermore, the auxiliary toy body 30 is made of a light-transmitting material, thereby enabling the performance of light passing through the auxiliary toy body 30.

[0107] In this type of action toy 1, the first movable part 11 can move from the open position (second position P2) to the closed position (first position P1), and in conjunction with this, the second movable part 12 can move from the outside of the base part 10 (fourth position P4) to the inside of the base part 10 (third position P3). Therefore, a series of actions from the installation of the auxiliary toy body 30 to the completion of storage and installation can be performed as mechanical linkage actions.

[0108] Furthermore, according to the action toy 1 of this type, in conjunction with the rotation operation of the rotating rod 50, the first movable part 11 moves back and forth between the intermediate position P5, which is closer to the second position P2, and the first position P1. Thus, for example, when the first movable part 11 imitates the palate, it is possible to perform an action such as chewing something.

[0109] Furthermore, in this type of action toy 1, the rotation of the rotating rod 50 for one revolution and the up-and-down reciprocating rotation of the first movable part 11 are performed simultaneously, providing a comfortable operating experience for the user.

[0110] The present invention has been described above in one form, but the invention can be modified appropriately within the scope of its technical concept. For example, in the above form, there is no particular limitation on the unit for identifying the auxiliary toy body 30, and the structure of the identification unit 23 can, for example, use near field communication (NFC), a raised or recessed shape, or communication, etc.

[0111] In addition, in the above form, the rotation of the rotating rod 50 is synchronized with the up-and-down reciprocating motion of the first movable part 11, but it is not limited to this. It can also be set to perform multiple up-and-down movements in one rotation.

[0112] In addition, the performance of the auxiliary toy body 30 in the above form is based on the movement of the outer shell and the movement of the arm 35, but it is not limited to this structure. For example, it can also be configured to output the performance of sound, light and the like by setting a light-emitting unit and a sound-emitting unit on the auxiliary toy body 30.
