[0008] Hereinafter, the embodiments will be described in detail with reference to the drawings. In all the drawings for explaining the embodiments, the same reference numerals are used for the members having the same functions, and the repeated explanations are omitted. In addition, in the following embodiments, the explanations of the same or similar parts will not be repeated as a rule unless it is particularly necessary. In addition, the X direction, Y direction, and Z direction described in this application intersect with each other and are perpendicular to each other.

[0009] (Embodiment 1) The transformable toy 1 in the first embodiment will be described below with reference to Figs. 1 to 10. The transformable toy 1 is a toy that can be transformed from a first form to a second form different from the first form, for example, from a spherical form to a doll form. This transformation is performed by applying vibrations to the transformable toy 1, for example, by a user picking up the transformable toy 1 and shaking it. Note that the transformation from the first form to the second form is not limited to the transformation from a spherical form to a doll form, but also includes transformation from a geometric shape to a shape representing a figurative object, etc.

[0010] 1 and 2 show the appearance of the transformable toy 1 before and after transformation due to vibration. As shown in Fig. 1 and 2, the transformable toy 1 includes components 10, 20, and 30. The transformation from a spherical form to a doll form is performed by moving components 20 and 30 from a predetermined position to a position different from the predetermined position.

[0011] An opening 11 is formed in component 10 so as to open the interior of component 10 to the exterior of component 10. Component 20 is located inside component 10 before deformation due to vibration (first position), but moves to a position outside component 10 via opening 11 after deformation due to vibration (second position). Component 30 is located so as to cover a part of the outer circumferential surface of component 10 before deformation due to vibration (first position, third position), but moves to a position protruding from component 10 after deformation due to vibration so that a part of the outer circumferential surface of component 10 is exposed (second position, fourth position).

[0012] After transformation by vibration, the transformable toy 1 takes on the form of a doll. The component 20 has a main body 21, a displacement section 22 (third displacement section), and a mounting section 23. The displacement section 22 and the mounting section 23 are connected to the main body. The component 10 forms the head of the doll. The main body 21 forms the torso of the doll. The displacement section 22 forms the upper limbs of the doll. The mounting section 23 forms the lower limbs of the doll. The component 30 forms the ears, hair, horns, head ornaments, etc. of the doll.

[0013] In this way, in the transformable toy 1 in the first embodiment, the transformation from a spherical form to a doll form can be enjoyed by a simple action of applying vibration. Moreover, the transformation can be achieved in a short time, which can provide a sense of sudden surprise. Moreover, the component 10 itself has an almost spherical form. Then, when the component 20 is held in a position inside the component 10, the placement part 23 is placed at the position of the opening 11 and covers almost the entire opening 11. Therefore, the beauty of the spherical form before the transformation by vibration is not spoiled. Note that, in terms of improving the surprise of the transformation, it is preferable that the component 20 is almost entirely located inside the component 10 in the pre-transformation state, but there is no problem in terms of enjoying the transformation even if a part of the component 20 is located outside the component 10 in the pre-transformation state. Moreover, the component 10 itself has an almost spherical form, and the component 30 is held along the outer peripheral surface of the component 10, so the beauty of the spherical form before the transformation by vibration is not spoiled.

[0014] The mechanism by which the transformable toy 1 is transformed when vibration is applied will be described below. Fig. 3 shows the inside of the component 10 after transformation due to vibration, and Fig. 4 shows the inside of the storage section 40 after transformation due to vibration. As shown in Fig. 3, the storage section 40, a holding mechanism 50, and a release mechanism 60 are provided inside the component 10.

[0015] When the component 20 is located inside the component 10, the component 20 is stored inside the storage section 40. When the component 20 moves to the outside of the component 10, the component 20 moves from the inside of the storage section 40 to the outside of the storage section 40 through the opening 11.

[0016] The holding mechanism 50 can hold the component 20 inside the component 10. As shown in FIG. 1, FIG. 4, and FIG. 5, the holding mechanism 50 has a first holding part 51 and a second holding part 52 as holding parts. The component 30 has a first held part 31 held by the first holding part 51. The first held part 31, which is a recess, is locked and held by the first locking claw part at the tip of the first holding part 51, so that the component 30 is held in a position covering a part of the outer circumferential surface of the component 10. The component 20 (main body part 21) has a second held part 21a held by the second holding part 52. The second held part 21a is locked and held by the second locking claw part at the tip of the second holding part 52, so that the component 20 is held inside the component 10.

[0017] The release mechanism 60 can release the components 20 and 30 from the holding mechanism 50 by vibration. The release mechanism 60 releases the components 30 and 20 from the holding mechanism 50 by moving at least one of the holding parts (first holding part 51 and second holding part 52) ​​and the held parts (first held part 31 and second held part 21a). In this embodiment, the release mechanism 60 moves the holding parts. The components 20 released from the holding mechanism 50 by the release mechanism 60 can move from the inside of the components 10 to the outside of the components 10, and the components 30 released from the holding mechanism 50 by the release mechanism 60 can rotate with respect to the components 10 and move to a position away from the outer circumferential surface of the components 10. The release mechanism 60 also has a rotating shaft 61, and the components 20 (main body part 21) have a groove 21b. When the holding mechanism 50 holds the component 20, the rotating shaft material 61 is housed inside the groove 21b. The direction of vibration for releasing the component 20 and the component 30 from the holding mechanism 50 is, for example, the X direction, which is different from the direction in which the component 20 moves from the first position to the second position (Z direction) and the direction in which the component 30 rotates. Since the component 20 and the component 30 move in a direction different from the vibration applied to transform the transformable toy 1, the interest during transformation is increased. Also, by vibrating in one direction to enable transformation, the operation for transformation becomes simple, and anyone can easily perform the transformation operation.

[0018] The holding mechanism 50 will be described with reference to Fig. 5. As shown in Fig. 5, the holding mechanism 50 has a first holding portion 51, a second holding portion 52, and a release operated portion 53. As described above, the second holding portion 52 is engaged with and held by the second held portion 21a of the component 20. The first holding portion 51 is engaged with the first held portion 31. Note that the component 30 is rotatably connected to the component 10, and the holding mechanism 50 holds the component 30 on the outer peripheral surface of the component 10 so that the component 30 does not rotate on the outer periphery of the component 10.

[0019] When the release operated part 53 is pressed, the holding of the second held part 21a by the second holding part 52 and the holding of the first held part 31 by the first holding part 51 are released, the components 20 and 30 are released from the holding mechanism 50, and the components 20 and 30 can move. For example, the release operated part 53 is provided at a position facing the surface of a disk 65 (first displacement part) shown in FIG. 6. When the disk 65 rotates, the release operated part 53 comes into contact with an operation protrusion part 65a provided on the surface of the disk 65, and the first holding part 51 and the second holding part 52 move, thereby releasing the holding of the second held part 21a by the second holding part 52 and the holding of the second held part 31 by the first holding part 51. That is, the release mechanism 60 releases the components 20 and 30 from the holding mechanism 50 substantially simultaneously. Although not shown, component 10 has a rotation restricting portion that restricts the rotation of component 30 so as to hold component 30 at a position away from component 10.

[0020] The release mechanism 60 will be described with reference to Figures 6 to 8. As shown in Figure 6, the release mechanism 60 has a rotating shaft member 61, a pendulum 62, a disk 63, a disk control unit 64, and a disk (first displacement unit) 65. The rotating shaft member 61 is, for example, a metal rod, and extends in the Y direction.

[0021] The pendulum 62 is attached to the rotating shaft member 61. The pendulum 62 has a weight 62a and a protrusion 62b provided on the opposite side of the rotating shaft member 61 to the weight 62a. The protrusion 62b is provided at a position facing the surface of the disk 63.

[0022] The pendulum 62 swings back and forth around the rotating shaft member 61, using the rotating shaft member 61 as a support axis. The rotating shaft member 61 does not rotate due to the swinging motion of the pendulum 62. The swing width (swing angle) of the pendulum 62 per one swing is, for example, 60 degrees.

[0023] The disks 63 and 65 each have the rotating shaft member 61 as a central axis and are fixed to the rotating shaft member 61 via, for example, a bearing or the like. Therefore, for example, when the disk 63 rotates, the rotating shaft member 61 and the disk 65 rotate in conjunction with the rotation of the disk 63. In this embodiment, the holding parts (first holding part 51 and second holding part 52) ​​move as the disk (displacement part) 65 is displaced (rotates), and the components 30 and 20 are released from the holding mechanism 50. However, the held parts (first held part 31 and second held part 21a) may also move as the disk 65 is displaced (rotates), and the components 30 and 20 may be released from the holding mechanism 50.

[0024] 7, a plurality of protrusions 63a are provided on the surface of disk 63. When transformable toy 1 is vibrated, pendulum 62 starts swinging. The swinging motion of pendulum 62 causes protrusion 62b of pendulum 62 to come into contact with the plurality of protrusions 63a, and the force of the swinging motion is applied to each protrusion 63a, causing disk 63 to rotate. In conjunction with the rotation of disk 63, rotating shaft member 61 and disk 65 rotate, and the rotation of disk 65 causes operating protrusion 65a of disk 65 to come into contact with release operated portion 53.

[0025] Here, the pendulum 62 moves clockwise and counterclockwise within the range of its swing, but in the release mechanism 60 in the first embodiment, the rotating shaft member 61, the disk 63 and the disk 65 rotate in only one direction (counterclockwise) in response to the displacement of the oscillation of the pendulum 62. Note that the "clockwise" and "counterclockwise" described here are the directions of rotation as seen from the direction from the disk 63 to the disk 65. The reason for this will be explained below.

[0026] 8, a protrusion 64a is provided on the surface of the disk control unit 64 so as to face the outer circumferential surface of the disk 63. The outer circumferential surface of the disk 63 is provided with a plurality of protrusions 63b.

[0027] Each of the multiple protrusions 63b has an abutment surface S1 and an inclined surface S2. The abutment surface S1 is provided at an angle that is nearly perpendicular to the outer peripheral surface of the disk 63. The inclined surface S2 is inclined at an angle smaller than the abutment surface S1 with respect to the outer peripheral surface of the disk 63. The protrusion 64a has an abutment surface S3 and an inclined surface S4. The abutment surface S3 is provided at an angle that is nearly perpendicular to the surface of the disk control unit 64. The inclined surface S4 is inclined at an angle smaller than the abutment surface S3 with respect to the surface of the disk control unit 64.

[0028] When the disk 63 rotates clockwise, the abutment surface S3 contacts the abutment surface S1, and when the disk 63 rotates counterclockwise, the inclined surface S4 contacts the inclined surface S2. When the abutment surface S3 contacts the abutment surface S1, the rotation of the disk 63 is stopped. In other words, when the disk 63 does not rotate clockwise, the rotating shaft material 61 and the disk 65 do not rotate either.

[0029] Although not shown, an elastic body such as a spring attached to the protrusion 64a is provided inside the disk control unit 64. Therefore, when the inclined surface S4 comes into contact with the inclined surface S2, the protrusion 64a is pushed down into the disk control unit 64. Therefore, in the counterclockwise direction, the disk 63 rotates, and the rotating shaft member 61 and the disk 65 also rotate.

[0030] In order to encourage the rotation direction of the disk 63 to be only counterclockwise, a plurality of protrusions 63a on the surface of the disk 63 and protrusions 62b on the surface of the pendulum 62 may also have raised and inclined surfaces.

[0031] As shown in Fig. 7, each of the multiple protrusions 63a has an abutment surface S5 and an inclined surface S6. The abutment surface S5 is provided at an angle that is nearly perpendicular to the surface of the disk 63. The inclined surface S6 is inclined at an angle smaller than the abutment surface S5 with respect to the surface of the disk 63. The protrusion 62b has an abutment surface S7 and an inclined surface S8. The abutment surface S7 is provided at an angle that is nearly perpendicular to the surface of the pendulum 62. The inclined surface S8 is inclined at an angle smaller than the abutment surface S7 with respect to the surface of the pendulum 62.

[0032] When the disk 63 rotates counterclockwise, the abutment surface S7 comes into contact with the abutment surface S5, and when the disk 63 rotates clockwise, the inclined surface S8 comes into contact with the inclined surface S6. When the abutment surface S7 comes into contact with the abutment surface S5, the rotation of the disk 63 is promoted. That is, when the disk 63 rotates counterclockwise, the rotating shaft member 61 and the disk 65 also rotate.

[0033] Although not shown, an elastic body such as a spring attached to the protruding portion 62b is provided inside the pendulum 62. Therefore, when the inclined surface S8 comes into contact with the inclined surface S6, the protruding portion 62b is pushed down into the pendulum 62. For this reason, in the clockwise direction, the disk 63 hardly rotates, and the rotating shaft member 61 and the disk 65 hardly rotate either.

[0034] As described above, in the first embodiment, the swinging motion of the pendulum 62 is used to release the components 20 and 30, but the rotation direction of the rotating shaft member 61, the disk 63, and the disk 65 can be set to only the counterclockwise direction. Since the swing width of the pendulum 62 per reciprocation is set to 60 degrees, the operating protrusion 65a of the disk 65 comes into contact with the release operated portion 53 of the holding mechanism 50 every six reciprocations of the pendulum 62. That is, the release mechanism 60 releases the components 20 and 30 from the holding mechanism 50 in response to displacing the disk (displacement portion) 65 multiple times.

[0035] A mechanism by which component 20 can move inside storage section 40 will be described below with reference to FIG. 9. FIG. 9 shows the inside of storage section 40. As shown in FIG. 9, storage section 40 is provided with guide section 41. Guide section 41 is provided along a direction in which component 20 moves from the inside of storage section 40 (inside component 10) to the outside of storage section 40 (outside component 10), i.e., along the Z direction. In other words, guide section 41 is provided to guide component 20 to move toward opening 11.

[0036] 5, component 20 has guided portion 24 that is guided by guiding portion 41. By guiding guided portion 24 by guiding portion 41, the movement direction of component 20 can be fixed in the Z direction.

[0037] In addition, the guide portion 41 extends to the vicinity of the lower end of the storage portion 40 in the Z direction, but is not open from the lower end of the storage portion 40. Therefore, it is possible to prevent the component portion 20 from completely coming off the storage portion 40 when the component portion 20 moves.

[0038] A mechanism by which component 20 does not automatically return to the inside of component 10 when component 20 moves to the outside of component 10 will be described below with reference to Fig. 10. In Fig. 10, restricting portion 25 and displacement portion 22 of component 20 are shown, and a part of storage portion 40 is shown by a dashed line.

[0039] As shown in FIG. 2 and other figures, when the component 20 is located outside the component 10 (after deformation due to vibration), the restricting portion (second displacement portion) 25 protrudes from the main body portion 21. That is, it is displaced from a position before deformation due to vibration to a position after deformation due to vibration. At this time, as shown in FIG. 10, the restricting portion 25 after displacement abuts against the storage portion 40 of the first component, thereby restricting the movement of the component 20. That is, the movement of the component 20, which has moved outside the component 10 in response to the deformation, into the component 10 is restricted. Therefore, when the placement portion 23 is placed on a placement surface in the state after deformation due to vibration in FIG. 1 or FIG. 2, the transformable toy 1 can stand on its own on the placement surface.

[0040] The restricting portion 25 has a protrusion 25a inside the main body 21. In addition, the protrusion 22a is connected to the displacement portion 22 inside the main body 21. As the component 20 moves in a direction proceeding to the outside of the component 10, the protrusion 25a pushes out the protrusion 22a due to the weight of the component 20. Then, the displacement portion 22 is displaced in a direction away from the main body 21. That is, the doll takes a form in which the upper limbs are spread. In the doll form after transformation, the width of the component 20 located outside the component 10 in the direction in which the displacement portion 22 is displaced is larger than the width of the opening 11 in the direction in which the displacement portion 22 is displaced. Without the displacement portion 22, only the displacement portion 22 smaller than the width of the opening 11 can move from inside the component 10 to outside the component 10, but by providing the displacement portion 22 that displaces in response to moving outside the component 10, the width of the component 22 after transformation becomes larger than the width of the opening 11, so that the interest in transformation can be improved.

[0041] A mechanism for returning the transformable toy 1 from its transformation due to vibration to its original shape before transformation due to vibration will be described.

[0042] When the user displaces the displacement portion 22 so as to approach the main body portion 21, the protrusion portion 22a pushes out the protrusion portion 25a. In conjunction with the displacement of the displacement portion 22, the restriction portion 25 is stored inside the component portion 20 (inside the main body portion 21). As a result, the component portion 20, which has moved outside the component portion 10, is displaced to a position where it can move from the outside of the component portion 10 (outside of the storage portion 40) to the inside of the component portion 10 (inside of the storage portion 40).

[0043] Thereafter, the main body portion 21 and the displacement portion 22 are stored inside the storage portion 40. By pushing the component portion 20 into the storage portion 40, the second held portion 21a of the component portion 20 is held by the second holding portion 52 of the holding mechanism 50. This causes the transformable toy 1 to return to the shape before it was transformed by the vibration.

[0044] In addition, when the user moves component part 30 to its pre-deformation position covering part of the outer peripheral surface of component part 10, the first held part 31 of component part 30 engages with and is held by the first holding part 51 of the holding mechanism 50, and the transformable toy 1 returns to its shape before it was transformed by vibration.
