[0032] Hereinafter, a transformable toy according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described using the drawings.

[0033] <<First Implementation Method>> (Overview)

[0034] Figure 1 1 is a perspective view showing a walking toy 10A and an attached dinosaur model 50 as a first form of the transformable toy 100 according to the first embodiment. Figure 2 1 is a perspective view showing a first form of the walking toy 10A. Figure 3 This is a perspective view of the first form of the walking toy 10A as viewed from below. Figure 4 It is a perspective view showing a rectangular frame body 10C as a second form of the transformable toy 100 .

[0035] The transformable toy 100 is in the shape of a running toy 10A in the first form, more specifically, in the shape of an SUV (Sport Utility Vehicle). An example of a game using the transformable toy 100 is as follows. In the following description, front and back refer to the front and back of the running toy 10A, and left and right refer to the left and right as viewed from the rear side of the running toy 10A.

[0036] The walking toy 10A is placed on a table with a dinosaur model 50 placed thereon, and moves forward with the dinosaur model 50 as a target. Then, the bumper 16 of the walking toy 10A hits the dinosaur model 50. As a result, the left portion 11 and the right portion 14 of the walking toy 10A are opened outward with the rear of the central left portion 12 and the central right portion 13 of the walking toy 10A as the center ( Figure 7 Thereafter or simultaneously, the central left portion 12 and the central right portion 13 of the walking toy 10A are opened relative to the central front end portion 15 ( Figure 8 Then, the central left portion 12, the central front end portion 15 and the central right portion 13 are displaced in a straight line ( Fig. 9 ). As a result, the running toy 10A is deformed into a forward-opening The semi-frame-shaped overlapping body 10B is in the middle state. Then, the semi-frame-shaped overlapping body 10B is opened with the opening edge of the semi-frame-shaped overlapping body 10B as the center. Fig.10 ), and deformed into a rectangular frame body 10C of the second form ( Fig.11 ). Thus, the dinosaur model 50 is enclosed in the rectangular frame 10C and captured. This can be played as a capture game.

[0037] (Walking Toy 10A)

[0038] like Figure 1As shown in FIG. 1 , the moving toy 10A includes a left portion 11, a central left portion 12, a central right portion 13, a right portion 14, and a central front portion 15. The left portion 11, the central left portion 12, the central right portion 13, and the right portion 14 are formed by dividing the moving toy 10A into four portions in the width direction. In addition, the central front portion 15 is provided in front of the central left portion 12 and the central right portion 13.

[0039] The left portion 11 is composed of an upper left component 11U and a lower left component 11L, the central left portion 12 is composed of an upper left central component 12U and a lower left central component 12L, the central right portion 13 is composed of an upper right central component 13U and a lower right central component 13L, the right portion 14 is composed of an upper right central component 14U and a lower right central component 14L, and the central front portion 15 is composed of an upper front central component 15U and a lower front central component 15L. These components constitute one block.

[0040] (Block link structure)

[0041] The rear part of the upper left component 11U is connected to the rear part of the central upper left component 12U through a hinge pin 16a extending in the up-down direction. The upper left component 11U is equipped with a front wheel 18L and a rear wheel 19L on the left side. In addition, the front part of the central upper left component 12U is connected to the left part of the central front upper component 15U through a hinge pin 16b extending in the up-down direction. Furthermore, the right part of the central front upper component 15U is connected to the front part of the central upper right component 13U through a hinge pin 16c extending in the up-down direction. In addition, the rear part of the central upper right component 13U is connected to the rear part of the upper right component 14U through a hinge pin 16d extending in the up-down direction. The upper right component 14U is equipped with a front wheel 18R and a rear wheel 19R on the right side. The blocks of these components constitute a series of upper block connection bodies. The upper block connection body is folded in four by bellows.

[0042] Similarly, the rear portion of the left lower component 11L is connected to the rear portion of the central left lower component 12L by a hinge pin 16e extending in the up-down direction. In addition, the front portion of the central left lower component 12L is connected to the left portion of the central front lower component 15L by a hinge pin 16f extending in the up-down direction. A non-slip rubber sheet 17 is attached to the bottom of the central left lower component 12L. By means of the rubber sheet 17, when the upper block connection body is opened relative to the lower block connection body, it is easy to keep the lower block connection body in place. In addition, the right side portion of the central front lower component 15L is connected to the front portion of the central right lower component 13L by a hinge pin 16g extending in the up-down direction. In addition, the rear portion of the central right lower component 13L is connected to the rear portion of the right lower component 14L by a hinge pin 16h extending in the up-down direction. The blocks of these components constitute a series of lower block connections. The lower block connection body is folded in four accordion-shaped. In addition, the center lines of the hinge pins 16e-16h and the center lines of the corresponding hinge pins 16a-16d are located on the same straight line.

[0043] Furthermore, the front portion of the upper left component 11U constituting the upper block connection body is connected to the front portion of the lower left component 11L constituting the lower block connection body through the hinge pin 16i extending in the width direction of the walking toy 10A. In addition, the front portion of the upper right component 14U constituting the upper block connection body is connected to the front portion of the lower right component 14L constituting the lower block connection body through the hinge pin 16j extending in the width direction of the walking toy 10A. Thus, the upper block connection body and the lower block connection body are connected by two hinge pins 16i and hinge pin 16j, and as a whole, they also constitute a series of block connections. Moreover, when the transformable toy 100 is in the first form, the center line of the hinge pin 16i and the center line of the hinge pin 16j are located on the same straight line.

[0044] In addition, it should be noted that Figure 2 and Figure 4 In the diagram, the indicated destinations of the hinge pins 16a to 16j include a case where the hinge pins are directly indicated and a case where the positions where the hinge pins are provided are indicated for convenience.

[0045] (Morphological changes)

[0046] The transformable toy 100 is transformed into a walking toy 10A having a first form by three-dimensionally folding the parts (blocks) (vertically and horizontally), and is transformed into a frame-shaped body 10C having a second form by connecting the parts in a row and expanding them through displacement of the parts. In addition, the transformable toy 100 becomes an intermediate form during the transformation from the first form to the second form. The intermediate form is a temporary form that appears during the change from the first form to the second form.

[0047] (Connecting spring)

[0048] The deformable toy 100 has a spring for unfolding the parts (blocks) to the second form. Here, a torsion spring (not shown) is used as a spring. That is, a torsion spring (not shown) is wound and installed on each hinge pin 16a-16j, one end of the torsion spring is hung on one side of the parts (blocks) connected by each hinge pin, and the other end of the torsion spring is hung on the other side of the parts (blocks) connected by each hinge pin. In addition, on the parts (blocks) connected by each hinge pin 16a-16j, a rotation range limiting portion (not shown) is provided to limit the relative rotation range between the parts by abutting between the parts. Thus, the deformable toy 100, in the folded state, resists the force of the torsion spring to become the shape of the walking toy 10A, and in the unfolded state, the force of the torsion spring becomes the shape of the frame-shaped body 10C. In addition, here, a torsion spring is provided corresponding to each hinge pin 16a-16j, but it is not necessary to provide a torsion spring on each hinge pin. In short, through the urging force of the torsion spring, it is possible to deform from the first form to the second form via the intermediate form. In addition, a coil spring may be used instead of the torsion spring or a coil spring may be provided in combination.

[0049] (Locking mechanism)

[0050] Figure 5 This is a top view of the traveling toy 10A for explaining the locking mechanism. The locking mechanism directly locks a part of the components (blocks) to keep the transformable toy 100 in the first form. As the locking mechanism, the transformable toy 100 has a slider 21. The slider 21 is integrally formed with the buffer 16 of the traveling toy 10A and is accommodated in the central lower left component 12L. The slider 21 can move within the central lower left component 12L in a predetermined range, front and back, and is urged forward by the coil spring 22. The buffer 16 and the slider 21 can also be arranged on the central lower right component 13L. In this case, the locking mechanism can be set to be opposite to the left and right as follows.

[0051] A hook-shaped claw (locking portion) 21a is attached to the left side of the slider 21 for locking the left lower component 11L adjacent to the left side of the central lower left component 12L. The claw 21a locks the left lower component 11L by the urging force of the coil spring 22 when the transformable toy 100 is in the first state, and prevents the left lower component 11L from opening relative to the central lower left component 12L. In addition, a hook-shaped claw (locking portion) 21b is attached to the right side of the slider 21 for penetrating the right side of the central lower right component 13L adjacent to the right side and locking the right lower component 14L, and a hook-shaped claw (locking portion) 21c is attached to the central lower right component 13L. The claw 21b locks the right lower component 14L by the urging force of the coil spring 22 when the transformable toy 100 is in the first state, and prevents the right lower component 14L from opening relative to the central lower right component 13L. In addition, when the transformable toy 100 is in the first form, the claw 21c uses the force of the coil spring 22 to lock the central lower right part 13L, preventing the central lower right part 13L from opening relative to the central lower left part 12L. In addition, the claw 21c can be omitted. This is because if the central lower left part 12L is used to lock the lower left part 1L and the lower right part 14L, the first form can be maintained. In addition, the slider 21 can also be set on the central lower right part 13L and other parts. In short, it is sufficient to maintain the first form. However, it is preferably set on the central lower left part 12L or the central lower right part 13L. This is because the length of the claw attached to the slider 21 can be reduced.

[0052] (Lock release mechanism)

[0053] The locking release mechanism serves to release the locking of the lower left part 11L, the lower right part 14L, and the central lower right part 13L by the claws 21a, 21b, and 21c. The locking release mechanism includes a buffer 16 as an operating part, the slider 21, and a coil spring 22. The buffer 16 functions as an operating part of the locking release mechanism. When the buffer 16 collides with an external object due to the running of the running toy 10A, or when the buffer 16 is operated in a manner of pressing the running toy 10A, the slider 21 moves backward in the central lower left part 12L, thereby releasing the locking of the lower left part 11L by the claw 21a, and the lower left part 11L opens relative to the central lower left part 12L by the force of the torsion spring. In addition, the locking of the lower right part 14L by the claw 21b is released by the slider 21 moving backward, and the lower right part 14L opens relative to the central lower right part 13L. Furthermore, as the slider 21 moves backward, the locking of the center right lower member 13L by the release claw 21c is released, and the center right lower member 13L and the center left lower member 12L are opened.

[0054] The locking release between the claw 21a and the left lower component 11L, the locking release between the claw 21b and the right lower component 14L, and the locking release between the claw 21c and the central right lower component 13L may be performed simultaneously or with a time difference. However, it is preferred that all the locking releases be performed when the buffer 16 collides with an external object at one time.

[0055] (Displacement prevention part)

[0056] Figure 6 This is a perspective view of the running toy 10A with some parts removed, as viewed from the rear side. The displacement prevention portion prevents the relative displacement between the parts (blocks) connected by the hinge pins 16i and 16j at the initial movement of the transformable toy 100. As the displacement prevention portion, a claw 22a for locking the central upper left part 12U is provided on the central lower right part 13L. The claw 22a is locked on the ridge 22b of the central upper left part 12U when it becomes the first form, so as to prevent the central upper left part 12U from opening relative to the central lower left part 12L.

[0057] Furthermore, the claw 22a restricts the relative movement of the upper left component 11U and the lower right component 14L and the relative movement of the upper right component 11U and the lower left component 11L until the center line of the hinge pin 16j connecting the upper left component 11U and the lower left component 11L and the center line of the hinge pin 16i connecting the upper left component 11U and the lower left component 11L are not located on the same straight line. That is, when the left part 11 and the right part 14 are opened relative to the central front end part 15, and the center line of the hinge pin 16i connecting the upper left component 11U and the lower left component 11L and the center line of the hinge pin 16j connecting the upper right component 14U and the lower right component 14L are not located on the same straight line, the claw 22a releases the locking of the central upper left component 12U.

[0058] (Gameplay example)

[0059] First, by the running of the running toy 10A, the buffer 16 collides with an external object, or by pressing the buffer 16 into the running toy 10A, the process of the transformable toy 100 transforming from the running toy 10A through the semi-frame-shaped overlapping body 10B to the frame-shaped body 10C can be appreciated.

[0060] In addition, you can enjoy the catching game using the dinosaur model 50. At this time, you can also use models other than the dinosaur model 50, and you can also use daily necessities or natural objects.

[0061] (Effects of Embodiments)

[0062] According to the transformable toy 100 of the embodiment described above, the following effects are achieved.

[0063] That is, when a series of block connectors connected by hinge pins 16a-16j touch an external object (dinosaur model 50, etc.) in a folded and overlapping first form, the components (blocks) constituting the block connector are arranged in a row along a plane to form a frame 10C, which is unexpected and varies greatly, so you can enjoy watching the process of change.

[0064] In addition, according to the transformable toy 100, after being transformed from the first form into a half-frame-shaped overlapping body 10B of an intermediate form in which the center lines of the two hinge pins 16i and 16j are arranged in a straight line, the half-frame-shaped overlapping body 10B is opened with the two hinge pins 16i and 16j as the center, and the half-frames are connected to each other and transformed into a frame-shaped body 10C of the second form, so it is unexpected and has a large change.

[0065] Furthermore, since the half-frame-shaped overlapping body 10B is opened with the two hinge pins 16i and 16j as the center, the half-frame-shaped bodies are connected to each other and deformed into the frame-shaped body 10C of the second form, so that the half-frame-shaped body can be deformed by the dinosaur model 50 after the collision and stored in the frame-shaped body 10C, so that the catching game can be enjoyed. Of course, daily necessities and other toys can also be used instead of the dinosaur model 50.

[0066] Second Implementation Method

[0067] Fig.12 2 is a perspective view showing a walking toy 60A as a first form of a transformable toy 200 according to the second embodiment. Fig.13 2 is a perspective view showing a half-frame-shaped overlapping body 60B as an intermediate form. Fig.14 2 is a perspective view showing a frame body 60C in a second form. Fig.15 2 is a side view of a walking toy 60A. In the transformable toy 200 of the second embodiment, the walking toy 60A in the first form is transformed into a frame body 60C in the second form via a half-frame-shaped overlapping body 60B as an intermediate form. The frame body 60C is a pentagram-shaped frame body in this case.

[0068] That is, in the transformable toy 200, in the first form, the upper portion 61, the lower portion 62, and the middle portion 63 are broken. In addition, front wheels 64L and 64R are provided on the left and right sides of the front portion of the lower portion 62, and rear wheels 65L and 65R are provided on the left and right sides of the rear portion of the lower portion 62, and the whole is in the shape of a running toy 60A. The upper portion 61 is composed of a first left member 61L and a first right member 61R, the lower portion 62 is composed of a second left member 62L and a second right member 62R, and the middle portion 63 is composed of a third left member 63L and a third right member 63R.

[0069] The front portion of the first left member 61L is connected to the front portion of the second left member 62L via a hinge pin 66a, and the rear portion of the second left member 62L is connected to the rear portion of the third left member 62L via a hinge pin 66b. These members constitute a series of left block connection bodies.

[0070] In addition, the front part of the first right component 61R is connected to the front part of the second right component 62R via the hinge pin 66c, and the rear part of the second right component 62R is connected to the rear part of the third right component 62R via the hinge pin 66d. These components constitute a series of right block connected bodies. In addition, in the first form, the center line of the hinge pin 66c is on the same straight line as the center line of the hinge pin 66a, and the center line of the hinge pin 66d is on the same straight line as the center line of the hinge pin 66b.

[0071] Furthermore, the rear portion of the first left member 61L is connected to the rear portion of the first right member 61R via a hinge pin 66e, and the front portion of the third left member 63L is connected to the front portion of the third right member 63R via a hinge pin 66f. Thus, the left block connection body and the right block connection body are connected to each other, and as a whole, a series of block connections are formed.

[0072] In addition, a torsion spring (not shown) is wound around each hinge pin 66a-66f, one end of the torsion spring is hung on one side of the component (block) connected by each hinge pin, and the other end of the torsion spring is hung on the other side of the component (block) connected by each hinge pin. In addition, on the components connected by each hinge pin 66a-66f, the relative rotation range of the components is limited by the contact between the components connected by each hinge pin 66a-66f.

[0073] In addition, here, although the torsion spring is provided corresponding to each hinge pin 66a-66f, it is not necessary to provide the torsion spring on each hinge pin. In short, it is enough to be able to deform from the first form to the second form through the intermediate form by the acting force of the torsion spring.

[0074] In addition, a slider 68 connected to the buffer 67 is provided in the second right component 62R. The slider 68 can move in the front-back direction and is urged forward by the coil spring 69. In addition, when the walking toy 60A in the first form contacts an external object, the slider 68 moves backward against the force of the coil spring 69. A claw (locking portion) 68a is attached to the slider 68. The claw 68a can be locked on the claw hole 70 of the first right component 61R. In the first form, when the claw 68a is locked with the claw hole 70, the first right component 61R is prevented from opening relative to the second right component 62R, thereby maintaining the first form. In addition, when the buffer 67 of the walking toy 60A in the first form hits an external object and the slider 68 moves backward against the force of the coil spring 69, the locking of the claw 68a with the claw hole 70 is released.

[0075] In addition, since the buffer 67 is provided, a hole 71 is required to allow the buffer 67 to pass during deformation.

[0076] Figures 16A-16F 2 is a perspective view showing the transformation process of the transformable toy 200. In these figures, the buffer 67, the slider 68, the claw 68a and the claw hole 70 are omitted for convenience. Fig.16A ), the upper portion 61 is opened relative to the lower portion 62 with the hinge pins 66a and 66c as the center ( Fig. 16B ), the upper portion 61 is grounded ( Fig. 16C ). And, the middle portion 63 is opened relative to the lower portion 62 with the hinge pins 66b and 66d as the center. As a result, the center line of the hinge pin 66e and the center line of the hinge pin 66f are located on the same straight line, and a half-frame-shaped overlapped body 60B ( Fig.16D Then, the half-frame-shaped overlapping body 60B is opened around the hinge pins 66e and 66f ( Fig.16E ), and deformed into the frame body 60C of the second form ( Fig.16F ). The frame body 60C is in the shape of a five-pointed star.

[0077] (Variation Example)

[0078] In the above-mentioned embodiment, the block itself does not expand or contract or bend, but the block may be configured to expand or contract or bend when deformed.

[0079] In addition, in the above-mentioned embodiment, the hinge pin in the second form includes two hinge pins that are opposite to each other with the center of the frame body sandwiched therebetween and whose center lines are parallel to a plane and located on the same straight line, and a hinge pin whose center line is orthogonal to a plane, but may also include hinge pins whose center lines cross in a manner other than being orthogonal to a plane.

[0080] In the above-mentioned embodiment, the state is changed from the first state to a predetermined intermediate state and then to the second state after a certain time difference. However, the state may be changed from the first state to the second state all at once.

[0081] In the above-described embodiment, the rectangular frame 10C or the pentagram-shaped frame 60C is formed as the second form, but the shape may be changed to a circular shape or other shapes.

[0082] In addition, in the above-mentioned embodiment, the blocks constituting a series of block connections are arranged in sequence on a plane to form a planar frame-shaped body of the second form, but other blocks may be attached to the blocks constituting a series of block connections in a manner that allows relative movement via hinge pins. In short, a series of block connections are deformed into a frame-shaped body by unfolding.

[0083] In addition, in the above-mentioned embodiment, the blocks constituting a series of block connections are arranged in sequence on a plane to form a planar frame-like body of the second form, but a cover body may be integrally provided on the blocks constituting the series of block connections, and the cover body covers the structure of the frame-like body of the second form.

[0084] In addition, in the above-mentioned embodiment, the block constituting the block connection body is described as a ring, but it can also be a shape with two ends and a part of the ring interrupted. In short, the blocks are connected together in sequence to form a frame-like body in the second form.
