Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to a toy. Background Technology

[0002] Previously, as an example of a toy whose appearance can change, the robot toy described in Patent Document 1 is known. According to this robot toy, for example, by rotating the foot body so that it is approximately at a right angle to the foot, the combined robot toy can stand stably.

[0003] Patent Document 1: Japanese Patent Publication No. 64-9874.

[0004] However, in the invention of the aforementioned Patent Document 1, since the feet are only rotated relative to the feet around an axis, the shape of the combined robot toy can only be changed to a fixed form.

[0005] This phenomenon exists not only in combining robot toys but also in general toys.

[0006] This invention was made in view of this situation, and its purpose is to provide a toy that allows the parts connected by a connecting member to move relatively freely in appearance and to maintain their state after movement. Utility Model Content

[0007] The first toy provided by this utility model is a toy that includes a connecting member that connects two parts constituting the appearance of an object in a manner that allows them to be separated from and in contact with each other. The connecting member has the following connection structure: one end of the connecting member is connected to one of the two parts, and the other end is connected to the other of the two parts, respectively, in a manner that allows them to rotate on the same plane, and is able to maintain the displacement state of the other part relative to the first part.

[0008] The second toy provided by this utility model is based on the first toy, wherein one component and the other component are configured to be able to contact each other, and a receiving portion for accommodating the connecting component is formed on at least one of the one component or the other component when the one component and the other component are in contact.

[0009] The third toy provided by this utility model is based on the second toy, wherein a locking part is provided on the connecting part, and a locking part for locking the locking part is provided inside the receiving part.

[0010] The fourth toy provided by this utility model is based on any one of the first to third toys, and the toy is a human-shaped toy.

[0011] The fifth toy provided by this utility model is based on the fourth toy, and includes a connecting structure that connects a first component as one component and a second component as the other component, as well as other connecting structures that connect at least one component different from the first component and the second component.

[0012] The sixth toy provided by this utility model is based on the fourth toy, wherein one of the connecting parts and the other connecting parts are configured as joints.

[0013] The seventh toy provided by this utility model is based on the sixth toy, wherein one of the connecting parts and the other connecting parts are configured as joints of the wrist or foot.

[0014] The eighth toy provided by this utility model is based on the fourth toy, and it has multiple humanoid toys, each with the aforementioned connecting structure, that can be combined to form a large humanoid toy, and after being combined, it does not hinder the functions of the connecting structure.

[0015] The ninth toy provided by this utility model is based on the fourth toy, wherein in the large humanoid toy, one of the connecting parts and the other connecting parts constitute a joint.

[0016] According to this invention, since one component can revolve around a specific point of another component and rotate around its own specific point, the components connected by a connecting component can move relatively freely in appearance, and can maintain their displacement state.

[0033] The embodiments of this utility model will now be described with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0034] Figure 1 This is a 3D front view of the large robot toy 10. Figure 2 This is a rear 3D view of the large robot toy 10.

[0035] Large robot toy 10 is made by replacing small robot toy 20 ( Figure 3 , Figure 4 ), small robot toys 30 ( Figure 5 , Figure 6 ) and small robot toys 40 ( Figure 7 , Figure 8 It is composed of two parts.

[0036] In other words, the large robot toy 10 mainly consists of a head 11, a torso 12, and wrists 13L and 13R derived from a smaller robot toy 20; a left foot 14L derived from a smaller robot toy 30; and a right foot 14R derived from a smaller robot toy 40. In this case, some parts of the smaller robot toys 20, 30, and 40 can be deformed for use, or detached from the smaller robot toys 20, 30, and 40 and installed in other parts.

[0037] (Small robot toys, sizes 20, 30, 40)

[0038] The mini robot toys 20, 30, and 40 each have a symmetrical structure. Furthermore, the mini robot toys 20, 30, and 40 share many common structural features.

[0039] Therefore, the following mainly describes the common structure of the small robot toys 20, 30, and 40, and the description of the differences will be kept to the minimum necessary.

[0040] (Common structure of small robot toys in sizes 20, 30, and 40)

[0041] A. Basic framework

[0042] Small robot toys 20 ( Figure 3 , Figure 4 It is roughly composed of a head 21, a torso 22, left and right arms 23L and 23R, and left and right feet 24L and 24R. In addition, there is a small robot toy 30 ( Figure 5 , Figure 6 It is roughly composed of a head 31, a torso 32, left and right wrists 33L and 33R, and left and right feet 34L and 34R. Furthermore, there is a small robot toy 40 ( Figure 7 , Figure 8 It is roughly composed of a head 41, a torso 42, left and right wrists 43L and 43R, and left and right feet 44L and 44R.

[0043] B. Mounting structure for wrists and feet

[0044] On the left and right sides of the torso 22, 32, and 42 of the miniature robot toys 20, 30, and 40, respectively, wrist mounting parts and foot mounting parts are formed. The structure of the wrist mounting parts and foot mounting parts is common to the miniature robot toys 20, 30, and 40, and they are symmetrical from left to right, so a representative example will be described, and other descriptions will be omitted.

[0045] Figure 9 This is a three-dimensional view of the torso 42 of a small robot toy 40 from the left.

[0046] A tongue-shaped wrist mounting portion 421 and a cylindrical foot mounting portion 422 are formed on the left side of the torso 42. A vertical shaft hole 421a is formed on the wrist mounting portion 421, and a horizontal shaft hole 422a is formed on the foot mounting portion 422.

[0047] The left shoulder joint component 431 (described later) is engaged in the shaft hole 421a. Figure 10 The axis 431a of the small robot toy 40. Thus, the left wrist 43L and arm armor 45L of the small robot toy 40 ( Figure 7 It can rotate around the shaft 431a. Furthermore, the left wrist 43L can maintain its rotating position through the frictional resistance between the shaft hole 421a and the shaft 431a.

[0048] The left wrist 43L and arm armor 45L of the small robot toy 40 are described here. The right wrist 43R of the small robot toy 40, as well as the wrists 23L, 23R, 33L, and 33R of the small robot toys 20 and 30, and the right arm armor 45R of the small robot toy 40, as well as the arm armors 25L, 25R, 35L, and 35R of the small robot toys 20 and 30, are also mounted on the torso 41, 21, and 31 with the same structure.

[0049] In addition, the left foot 44L (described later) is engaged in the shaft hole 422a. Figure 12 The left foot 44L is located on the shaft 441a of the hip joint component 441. This allows the left foot 44L to rotate about this shaft 441a. Furthermore, the left foot 44L maintains its rotating position through the frictional resistance between the shaft hole 422a and the shaft 441a.

[0050] The left foot 44L of the mini robot toy 40 is described here, while the right foot 44R of the mini robot toy 40, as well as the feet 24L, 24R, 34L, and 34R of the mini robot toys 20 and 30, are also mounted on the torso 41, 21, and 31 with the same structure.

[0051] (Common parts of small robot toys 30 and 40)

[0052] A. Wrist Structure

[0053] Figure 10 It is a 3D model of the left wrist 43L and arm armor 45L of the small robot toy 40.

[0054] The wrist 43L includes a shoulder joint component 431, a wrist support component 432, an upper arm component 433, a lower arm component 434, and a hand component 435.

[0055] The shoulder joint component 431 is provided with a shaft 431a that can engage with the aforementioned shaft hole 421a. Furthermore, the shoulder joint component 431 is provided with a shaft 431b that extends in a direction intersecting with the shaft 431a.

[0056] The upper end of the wrist support component 432 is provided with a hole 432a that can engage with the protrusion 451 of the arm armor 45R, and a shaft hole 432b that can engage with the aforementioned shaft 431b. Thus, the wrist 43L is mounted on the arm armor 45R and the shoulder joint component 431.

[0057] The upper arm component 433 is mounted on the wrist support component 432 in a manner that allows it to rotate about an axis 433a. The rotation about the axis 433a occurs when the wrist 43L is retracted into the arm armor 45R.

[0058] The lower arm component 434 is rotatably mounted on the upper arm component 433 via a shaft 434a. This lower arm component 434 can maintain its rotatable position due to the frictional resistance of the shaft 434a. Furthermore, the hand component 435 is mounted on the lower arm component 434.

[0059] The left wrist 43L of the mini robot toy 40 is described here, and the foot 43R of the mini robot toy 40 and the wrists 33L and 33R of the mini robot toy 30 have the same structure.

[0060] B. Structure of the Arm Arm

[0061] Figure 11 It is a 3D model of the left and right arm armors 45L and 45R of the small robot toy 40.

[0062] When assembled, the wrist parts 43L and 43R, as well as the arm armor 45L and 45R, are detached from the torso 42 together with the shoulder joint parts (corresponding to the shoulder joint parts 431), and the wrist parts 43L and 43R are stored below the corresponding arm armor 45L and 45R.

[0063] The backs of the left and right arm armor 45L and 45R (the backs of the small robot toy 40) are formed to be flat and can be connected to each other.

[0064] Multiple claws 452 and cuts 453 are formed on the rear of the left and right arm armors 45L and 45R respectively. However, on the opposite part of the claws 452 of the arm armor 45L (45R), the cuts 453 of the opposite arm armor 45R (45L) are formed, and on the opposite part of the cuts 453 of the arm armor 45L (45R), the claws 452 of the opposite arm armor 45R (45L) are formed.

[0065] Then, by engaging the claw 452 with the edge of the cut 453 of the other, the left and right arm armors 45L and 45R are integrated. The integrated arm armors 45L and 45R can be used as the front half of the left foot 14L of the large robot toy 10.

[0066] The left and right arm armors 45L and 45R of the small robot toy 40 are described here, and the left and right arm armors 35L and 35R of the small robot toy 30 have the same structure. When the left and right arm armors 35L and 35R of the small robot toy 30 are integrated, they can be used as the front part of the right foot 14R of the large robot toy 10.

[0071] One end of the connecting member 442 is rotatably engaged with the hip joint member 441 at part a, and the other end of the connecting member 442 is rotatably engaged with the intermediate member 443 at part b. An angle is formed on the outer surface of the engagement portion of the connecting member 442, and the rotational position can be maintained by the engagement of the angle.

[0072] Alternatively, the rotational position can be maintained by the frictional resistance between the connecting component 442, the hip joint component 441, and the intermediate component 443. Furthermore, it can be maintained by providing protrusions and recesses in the rotating part, creating a clicking sensation as they engage. Other rotating parts can be treated similarly.

[0073] Furthermore, a claw (locking part) 442a is formed on the connecting member 442.

[0074] A recess (accommodating portion) 443a is formed on the upper part of the intermediate component 443 to accommodate the connecting component 442. Furthermore, a recess (locking portion) 443b is formed on the lower side of the recess 443a. This recess 443b engages with the claw 442a of the connecting component 442, thereby locking the connecting component 442 within the recess 443a.

[0075] The rotating component 444 is rotatably mounted on the intermediate component 443 at part c. The rotating component 444 is provided with a shaft 444a.

[0099] The left shoulder armament 37L of the miniature robot toy 30 is described here, while the right shoulder armament 37R of the miniature robot toy 30 has the same structure.

[0100] (Transforms into a large robot toy 10)

[0101] The wrists 33L and 33R and the arm armors 35L and 35R of the mini robot toy 30 are detached from the body 32, and the wrists 33L and 33R are stored inside the arm armors 35L and 35R. Then, the wrists 43L and 43R and the arm armors 45L and 45R of the mini robot toy 40 are detached from the body 42, and the wrists 43L and 43R are stored inside the arm armors 45L and 45R. Finally, the arm armors 35L and 35R are connected together, and the arm armors 45L and 45R are connected together.

[0102] Furthermore, the foot parts 32L and 32R of the miniature robot toy 30 (foot parts 446 and corresponding parts) are oriented in opposite directions so that the foot parts contact each other, and then the connected arm armor 35L and arm armor 35R are installed on them. Similarly, the foot parts 446 of the miniature robot toy 40 are oriented in opposite directions so that the foot parts contact each other, and then the connected arm armor 45L and arm armor 45R are installed on them.

[0103] Additionally, remove the corners of the mini robot toys 30 and 40 and attach them to the head of the mini robot toy 20.

[0104] Furthermore, the shoulder armor 37L and 37R on the arm armor 35L and 35R of the small robot toy 30 are removed.

[0105] The wrists 23L and 23R, and arm armor 25L and 25R of the miniature robot toy 20 are detached from the torso 22 while retaining the shoulder joint components (shoulder joint component 231 and corresponding components). Then, the shoulder armor 37L and 37R of the miniature robot toy 30 are attached to the shoulder joint components (shoulder joint component 231 and corresponding components), and the hand components (hand components 234 and corresponding components) are connected to the shoulder armor 37L and 37R. The hand components (hand components 26L and corresponding components) are pulled out from the arm armor 25L and 27R.

[0106] In addition, foot components (foot component 243 and corresponding components) are installed on the shoulders of the small robot toy 20.

[0107] While retaining the hip joint component (corresponding to hip joint component 241) on the torso 22 of the small robot toy 20, remove it from the torso 22.

[0108] Furthermore, the shafts (shaft 241d and corresponding components) of the left and right hip joint components (corresponding to hip joint component 241) of the small robot toy 20 are embedded into the holes 311 and 411 of the heads 21 and 31 of the corresponding small robot toys 20 and 30.

[0109] Through the above steps, and by deforming, disassembling, and assembling some parts of the small robot toys 20, 30, and 40, the large robot toy 10 is completed.

[0110] (Effects of the implementation method)

[0111] The following effects can be achieved with toys constructed in this way.

[0112] The left and right ankle joint components (corresponding to ankle joint component 445) of the small robot toys 30 and 40 do not function when transformed into the large robot toy 10. That is, the feet of the large robot toy 10 cannot be rolled by the joints of the left and right feet of the small robot toys 30 and 40.

[0113] However, since the small robot toys 30 and 40 are equipped with connecting parts 442, for example, Figure 16 As shown, it functions as an ankle joint, allowing the foot to roll freely.

[0114] Furthermore, by connecting the movable part via the connecting part 442, the foot can be bent in various directions.

[0115] Furthermore, by maintaining the movement of the connecting parts, the large robot toy 10 can be positioned in the desired pose and can be displayed in that state.

[0116] This invention is not limited to the above-described embodiments and can be modified in various ways.

[0117] For example, according to the above embodiment, a connection structure with a connecting member (corresponding to connecting member 442) is provided. The connecting member is rotatably connected to different parts at each end and serves as the ankle joint of the large robot toy (humanoid toy) 10. However, the connection structure can also be applied to other joints of the humanoid toy, such as other joints (neck joint, shoulder joint, elbow joint, wrist joint, waist joint, hip joint, or knee joint).

[0118] Moreover, this connection structure is not limited to humanoid toys like combining robot toys; it can also be applied to general shape-changing toys, allowing them to take on various forms and maintain those forms.

[0119] In addition, according to the above embodiment, the ankle joint is composed of a pair of connecting structures, but the joint may also be composed of a single connecting structure.
