[0020] Hereinafter, an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. In the following description, the descriptions of up / down, front / back, left / right are based on the orientation of the doll-type toy shown in FIG. Fig. 1 is a perspective view of a first mode of a toy according to one embodiment of the present invention. Fig. 2 is a plan view of the toy 1 shown in Fig. 1, Fig. 3 is a perspective view of the toy 1 shown in Fig. 1 as seen from the bottom side, and Fig. 4 is a front view of the toy 1 shown in Fig. 1 in a second mode.

[0021] The toy 1 can be transformed into a first form 1F having an egg-like appearance as shown in FIGS. 1 to 3, and a second form 2F having a doll-like appearance as shown in FIG. First, in the egg-shaped first form 1F, the internal structure is visible from the outside at approximately the center of the front side, but the left and right side sides, back side, and bottom side are covered by an egg-shaped outer shell. As shown in FIG. 4, the toy 1 is configured as a doll body in the second form 2F, which imitates a specific fighting hero character and is configured to be able to move its upper and lower limbs widely, as described later. The shape of the doll body is not particularly limited, and includes various shapes such as humans, animals, robots, insects, and dinosaurs.

[0022] As shown in FIG. 4, the toy 1 can be broadly divided into a first part 10 constituting the upper limbs, legs 30 constituting the lower limbs, a second part 20 constituting the torso, and a head 40. As described above, the first part 10 constitutes the upper limbs, and is supported by the second part 20 so as to be rotatable to the left and right via the shoulder connector 18. The first part 10 also has, for example, a first sub-part 11 that resembles an upper arm, and a second sub-part 12 that resembles a forearm that is rotatably supported by the first sub-part 11 via an elbow connector 13.

[0023] The first sub-part 11 of the upper arm includes an upper arm portion 11b that imitates the shape of the upper arm, and a first outer shell portion 11a that covers the outer side and rear side of the upper arm portion 11b. The second sub-part 12 of the forearm includes a forearm portion 12b that imitates the shape of the forearm, and a second outer shell portion 12a that covers the outer side and rear side of the forearm portion 12b. The first sub-part 11 and the second sub-part 12 form the outer shells of both ends (the left and right ends in the figures) of the egg-shaped toy 1 in the first form 1F in the longitudinal direction, as shown in Figs. 1 and 2.

[0024] In the first form 1F, the first outer shell portion 11a of the first subpart 11 and the second outer shell portion 12a of the second subpart 12 form an outer shell at both left and right ends in the longitudinal direction of an egg shape separated in the front-rear direction as shown in Fig. 2. In addition, with regard to the outer surface of the outer shell, the left and right faces 10s formed by the first and second outer shell portions 11a, 12a form curved surfaces continuous with the outer surface 20s of the second part 20.

[0025] In the first form 1F, as shown in FIG. 1, the toy 1 can be placed on the placement part 80. The bottom surface part in the first form 1F (the part in contact with the placement part 80 in FIG. 1) has a generally flat structure, although it has some irregularities, as shown in FIG. 3. The trunk bottom surface 21s and the waist upper surface 28s, which constitute the bottom surface part in the first form 1F, constitute the connecting part between the trunk main body 21 and the waist part 28 in the second form 2F (see FIG. 4). Due to the configuration of the bottom surface part, the toy 1 can be placed on the placement part 80 in the first form 1F without rolling. In addition, in the first form 1F, a flat surface 10fs is provided on a part of the curved surface on the right side in FIG. 1 (one end surface in the long axis direction of the egg shape). This flat surface 10fs is formed, for example, by flat surfaces provided on the curved surfaces of both the first and second outer shell parts 11a and 12a. By having this flat surface 10fs, the flat surface 10fs can be placed on the placement portion 80 as the lower surface.

[0026] FIG. 5 is an exploded perspective view of the toy 1. As shown in FIG. The overall schematic configuration of the toy 1 will be described with reference to FIG. 5, the toy 1 is configured such that each member is connected with the second body part 20 at the center. For example, the first part 10 is connected to both the left and right sides of the second part 20, the legs 30 are connected to the lower end side of the second part 20 via a waist part 28, and further, the head 40 is connected to the upper end side of the second part 20 via a neck part 23.

[0027] The second part 20 has, for example, a hollow torso main body 21 divided into front and rear, and shoulder connectors 18 are provided on both the left and right ends of the shoulder portion of the second part 20. The shoulder connectors 18 are rotatable about an axis in the left-right direction of the toy 1, and are attached such that, for example, the flange portion 18a is disposed inside the torso main body 21. The shoulder connector 18 is also provided with a shoulder connector protrusion 18b that protrudes perpendicular to the axis on the opposite side to the flange portion 18a. This shoulder connector protrusion 18b is connected to a shoulder connector hole 18j on the first part 10 side. The first part 10 is also capable of rotation (rotation in the direction in which the upper limbs and the torso main body 21 open) about this shoulder connector protrusion 18b.

[0028] The head 40 is attached to the torso main body 21 via the neck 23. For example, a pair of left and right neck shafts 23a of the neck 23 are supported by a pair of left and right bearings 21a provided at the upper end of the torso main body 21, and the neck 23 is attached rotatably in the front-rear and up-down directions. In addition, a back lid 22 that can open and close the back side is provided on the rear side of the torso main body 21. The head 40 can be stored inside the torso main body 21 by opening and closing the back lid 22, the details of which will be described later.

[0029] A waist shaft 21b having a pair of left and right pin-shaped shafts protruding outward to the left and right is provided at the lower end of torso main body 21. A pair of left and right rotation bosses 28a of waist 28 are fitted into waist shaft 21b, allowing waist 28 to rotate relative to torso main body 21. Connecting rods 28b, which are connecting parts corresponding to the hip joints of legs 30, extend to the left and right from waist 28, and the upper ends of legs 30 are connected to the spherical parts at the tips of connecting rods 28b as described below.

[0030] FIG. 6 is an enlarged exploded perspective view of the first part 10 shown in FIG. Here, the internal structure of the first part 10 will be described. Since the left and right first parts 10 have the same configuration, only the first part 10 on the right arm side shown in FIG. 6 will be described. The first sub-part 11 is connected, for example, by fitting a connection protrusion 11d protruding from the inner surface of the first outer shell part 11a with a connection recess 11e formed along the longitudinal direction of the upper arm part 11b. The second sub-part 12 is connected, for example, by fitting a connection recess 12f formed on the connection protrusion 12d protruding from the inner surface of the second outer shell part 12a with a connection protrusion 12e formed along the longitudinal direction of the forearm part 12b. In this way, each connection part 10c formed by the connection recess 11e and the connection protrusion 11d, as well as the connection protrusion 12e and the connection protrusion 12d, etc., is configured along the longitudinal direction of the upper limb. The elbow connection part 13 is rotatably connected to the elbow connection hole part 13c of the forearm part 12b by fitting an elbow connection protrusion 13b protruding into the receiving recess 13a of the upper arm part 11b.

[0031] FIG. 7 is a perspective view showing the inside of the first part 10 of the toy 1 in a closed state. As shown in FIG. 7, when the end (shoulder connector 18) of the first sub part 11 on the second part 20 side and the hand part 12h, which is the end of the second sub part 12 on the opposite side to the first sub part 11 side, are brought close to each other, the first sub part 11 and the second sub part 12 form a continuous outer shell surface 10s (see FIG. 2). That is, the first sub part 11 and the second sub part 12 each have an upper arm part 11b and a forearm part 12b, which are the second parts, inside the first part (first outer shell part 11a, second outer shell part 12a) that forms the outer shell in the first form 1F. Therefore, the continuous surface 10s of the first outer shell part 11a and the second outer shell part 12a creates a curved surface that continues the egg-shaped outer shell in the first form 1F, and in the second form 2F (see FIG. 13), for example, enables the creation of a circular shield member during a character's battle. In addition, the upper arm portion 11b and the forearm portion 12b are configured to be contained within the inner space formed by the first outer shell portion 11a and the second outer shell portion 12a as shown in the figure. In other words, they are configured to be located inside the position of the outer edge portion 10e of the first outer shell portion 11a and the second outer shell portion 12a (see FIG. 4).

[0032] In addition, the first shell portion 11a and the second shell portion 12a are made of a material having a lower hardness than at least a part of the upper arm portion 11b and the forearm portion 12b. In other words, the shell portions are made of a material that is softer than the inner components thereof. For example, in this embodiment, the upper arm portion 11b is made of ABS resin, and the other parts, the first shell portion 11a, the second shell portion 12a, and the forearm portion 12b, are made of PVC resin.

[0033] Also, the shoulder connecting portion 18 is made of ABS resin, while the shoulder connecting hole 18j of the first outer shell portion 11a is made of PVC resin. That is, the connecting portion formed by the shoulder connecting protrusion 18b and the boss portion 18ja having the shoulder connecting hole 18j is made of resin materials with different hardness. Here, ABS resin is harder than PVC resin and has high dimensional accuracy during molding. On the other hand, PVC resin is easier to soften than ABS resin and can be configured to have excellent abrasion resistance, etc.

[0034] In addition, in elbow connecting portion 13, upper arm portion 11b is made of ABS resin, while forearm portion 12b is made of PVC resin. That is, the connecting structure of elbow connecting portion 13 is also made of resin materials with different hardness.

[0035] FIG. 8 is an enlarged exploded perspective view partially exploded to show the structure of the leg portion 30. As shown in FIG. In the leg 30, the thigh 31 is connected to the waist 28 by fitting the tip (ball joint) of the connecting rod 28b into the upper end connecting recess 31a. The knee 34 is connected to the lower end of the thigh 31 by fitting a pair of lower end connecting protrusions 31b (only one of which is shown) on the left and right sides of the thigh 31 into the knee connecting recess 32b opening at the upper end side of the lower leg 32, so that the knee 34 can rotate. The thigh 31 has a thigh space SP1 formed by three walls, the front wall 31f and the left and right side walls 31e. Therefore, the lower leg 32 can be rotated and accommodated in this thigh space SP1 (see FIG. 1). The lower end of the thigh 31 is provided with a protrusion 31d that protrudes so as to cover a part of the front side of the knee. This protrusion 31d limits the movable direction of the lower leg 32 (limits it from bending unnaturally to the opposite side).

[0036] Further, the foot 33 has an ankle recess 33a formed in its ankle, and a ball joint 32a provided at the lower end of the crus 32 is fitted into and connected to the ankle recess 33a. The leg 30 connected in this manner can freely rotate at the hip joint and in all directions, and further, the ankle can freely rotate back and forth and left and right, allowing it to take a variety of poses.

[0037] FIG. 9 is a perspective view showing an example of a first stage operation when the toy 1 is changed from the first form 1F to the second form 2F (when unfolded). When changing the toy 1 from the first form 1F to the second form 2F, for example, the legs 30 are opened as shown in Fig. 9. At this time, the legs 30 are opened by opening the protrusions 31d of the thighs 31. As a result, the legs 30 are opened around the rotation boss portion 28a of the waist 28.

[0038] FIG. 10 is a perspective view showing an example of the second stage operation during deployment. By performing the operation shown in Fig. 9, the waist upper surface 28s of the waist portion 28 is brought into contact with the torso bottom surface 21s. As a result, the connecting projection 28d protruding from the waist upper surface 28s is fitted into the connecting hole 3 (see Fig. 9) provided in the torso bottom surface 21s, and fixed. Around the same time as this operation, the lower leg portion 32 is rotated so as to be pulled out from the thigh space SP1, as shown in Fig. 10. In addition, the foot portion 33 is rotated so as to be separated from the lower leg portion 32.

[0039] FIG. 11 is a perspective view showing an example of a third stage operation during deployment. After the leg 30 has been fully deployed, the first part 10 is operated, for example, as shown in Fig. 11. In this case, the second sub-part 12 is rotated at the elbow relative to the first sub-part 11 of the first part 10 to deploy it, or rotated at the shoulder. The shoulder connector 18 of the first sub-part 11 can be rotated appropriately in the front-back and left-right directions (shoulder raising direction), etc., to allow the first part 10 to assume a desired pose.

[0040] FIG. 12 is a perspective view showing an example of the final stage of deployment. Finally, the head 40 is removed from the torso body 21. In this case, the back cover 22 is opened as shown in FIG. 12. At this time, the back cover 22 is locked by hooking the left and right protrusions 22b on the edges of the torso space SP2, so the back cover 22 is opened by hooking the fingers on the upper end protrusion 22c protruding upward from the shoulder part. This causes the back cover 22 to open widely around the hinge 22a on the lower end side. Then, the head 40 contained in the torso space SP2 is rotated upward around the neck shaft 23a of the neck 23 as a fulcrum. The back cover 22 is then closed to fix the neck 23.

[0041] In the manner described above, the toy 1 can be deployed into the second form 2F, but the method of deployment is not limited to the above-described operating procedure, and for example, the first part 10 may be deployed first.

[0042] FIG. 13 is a perspective view showing an example of a pose of the toy 1 in the second form 2F. The toy 1 deployed as described above can take various poses, not limited to the substantially upright form shown in Fig. 4. For example, as shown in Fig. 13, by bending the right forearm and extending the upper arm slightly forward, a circular shield member can be formed on the right front side. By raising the right thigh 31 in conjunction with this right arm position, a defensive posture for the character in battle can be produced.

[0043] FIG. 14 is a side view, partly exploded, showing the locking structure of the toy 1 in the first mode 1F. As a configuration for maintaining the egg shape in the first mode 1F, for example, there is an engagement structure that prevents the legs 30 from easily unfolding. In this configuration, as shown in Fig. 14, the rotation boss portion 28a has, for example, a polygonal outer surface structure. And, an engagement outer surface 28f provided on a part of the outer surface of the rotation boss portion 28a and an engagement protrusion 21g on the trunk main body 21 side are in surface contact with each other.

[0044] In this surface contact structure, for example, the distance W1 of the locking outer surface 28f to the rotation center C of the hip shaft portion 21b (see FIG. 5) is greater than the distance W2 of the other outer surfaces. In other words, the rotation boss portion 28a is configured with its rotation center eccentric. Therefore, in the locked state shown in FIG. 14, the locking outer surface 28f is locked in contact with the surface of the locking protrusion 21g on the lower end side in the figure. When unfolding the leg portion 30, for example, the protrusion 31d can be opened with the fingers (opened in the counterclockwise direction in the figure) so that the locking outer surface 28f can be released from the locking protrusion 21g and rotated and unfolded.

[0045] In the first form 1F, the legs 30 are provided with an engagement structure that integrates the left and right thighs 31. This engagement structure is, for example, a structure in which a leg locking protrusion 38 (see Figs. 2 and 4) on the inside of the knee 34 engages with a leg locking recess 39 (see Figs. 2 and 4). The leg locking protrusion 38 and the leg locking recess 39 are engaged when the left and right legs 30 are aligned in the first form 1F, but are not engaged when the left and right legs 30 are opened or moved forward and backward.

[0046] FIG. 15 is a perspective view of the toy 1 with a part moved to show the locking structure in the first mode 1F. First part 10 in first form 1F has a locking structure that maintains the egg shape. For example, as shown in Fig. 15, locking recesses 21h are provided on both left and right side surfaces 21j of trunk body 21, and locking protrusions 10f (fitting in the state shown by imaginary lines in the figure) that protrude from outer edge 10e toward trunk body 21 and fit into locking recesses 21h are provided on the inside of first part 10. The locking recess 21h has a groove structure that continues to the recessed step portions 21i of both the left and right side surfaces 21j. As a result, when the locking protrusion 10f is to be removed from the locking recess 21h, it can be removed not only by rotating the first part 10 so as to open it in the left-right direction (shoulder width direction), but also by rotating it forward and upward (in the direction of the arrow) as shown in FIG.

[0047] As described above, in one aspect of the present invention, the pair of left and right first parts 10 constituting the upper limbs are of a multiple configuration having a first sub-part 11 and a second sub-part 12, so that a configuration can be made that facilitates shape changes between the shell shape formed by both sub-parts 11, 12 in first form 1F and the doll-like shape in second form 2F, thereby providing a toy 1 that does not feel strange when the shape changes.

[0048] In this embodiment, the outer shell formed by the first and second subparts 11, 12 forms a surface 10s that is continuous with another member (the outer surface 20s of the second part 20), so that in the appearance of the first form 1F, the outer shell is smooth without any steps, thereby improving the appearance.

[0049] In this embodiment, the external shape of the first form 1F of the toy 1 is egg-shaped, so that it fits comfortably in the hand and is easy to hold. Also, the first and second subparts 11, 12 form the outer shells at both ends of the egg shape in the longitudinal direction, and for example, the material of these parts is softer than the other components, so that they can absorb shocks when dropped, etc.

[0050] In this embodiment, flat surface 10fs is provided on surface 10s of first part 10 that constitutes the outer shell, and therefore flat surface 10fs can be used to stably place the device on placement portion 80 in first form 1F.

[0051] In the toy 1 of this embodiment, the first outer shell 11a and the second outer shell 12a are configured to be divided into the movable upper arm 11b and the forearm 12b, so that in the first form 1F, a continuous outer shell can be easily configured, and in the second form 2F, the toy 1 can move, and can be played with as a character that can be played with by changing the shape and size of the shield member, for example. In this embodiment, the first outer shell 11a and the second outer shell 12a are shaped like a shield, but are not limited to this, and may be shaped like other weapons, ornaments such as a cloak, or the like that assist in the performance of the doll body (performance auxiliary parts). The first outer shell 11a and the upper arm 11b (the second outer shell 12a and the forearm 12b) may be integrally configured as an arm.

[0052] In this embodiment, the connection parts 10c between the first outer shell part 11a, the second outer shell part 12a and the upper arm part 11b, and the forearm part 12b are configured along the longitudinal direction of the arm part (upper limb), so that the size of the connection parts 10c can be made large and the connection can be made strong. Also, by configuring the connection parts 10c to be large, the structure can be made easy to assemble.

[0053] In this embodiment, the upper arm 11b and the forearm 12b, which are the second parts, are housed inside the first outer shell part 11a and the second outer shell part 12a, which are the first parts constituting the outer shell, and are completely covered without protruding from the outer shell in the first form 1F. In addition, the upper arm 11b and the forearm 12b do not protrude from the first outer shell part 11a and the second outer shell part 12a when the doll body is deployed, so that they can be easily deployed without interfering with other members. In addition, in the second form 2F, when playing as a shield member for a character, a larger shield can be made by bending the elbow, and the arm part can be completely contained by bending the arm, allowing for a highly functional presentation as a shield member.

[0054] In this embodiment, in the state of the first form 1F, the first outer shell portion 11a and the second outer shell portion 12a constituting a part of the outer shell are formed of a component material having low hardness, and thus have a breakage prevention effect. Also, in the state of the second form 2F, the same effect can be obtained.

[0055] In this embodiment, the connecting parts that require the movement of the toy 1, such as the shoulder connecting part 18 and the elbow connecting part 13, use materials with different hardness and strength for the sliding parts connected thereto, making it possible to provide a structure that takes abrasion resistance into consideration, thereby increasing durability and enabling the provision of a toy 1 that can move well for a long time. Also, by using resins with different properties, it is possible to appropriately select materials with good molding accuracy, making it possible to provide a toy 1 with good movement accuracy of the moving parts and assembly accuracy.

[0056] Although one embodiment of the present invention has been described above, the present invention can be modified as appropriate within the scope of its technical concept.
