[Modes for carrying out the invention]

[0009] Hereinafter, embodiments will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. Note that the following embodiments do not limit the invention according to the claims, and not all combinations of the features described in the embodiments are essential to the invention. Any two or more of the plurality of features described in the embodiments may be arbitrarily combined. Also, the same or similar configurations are denoted by the same reference numerals, and duplicate descriptions are omitted.

[0010] <Vehicle-type toy 10> First, referring to FIGS. 1A and 1B, an example of the external configuration of the vehicle-type toy 10 according to the present embodiment will be described. FIG. 1A is a diagram schematically showing an example of the first external configuration of the vehicle-type toy 10. FIG. 1B is a diagram schematically showing an example of the second external configuration of the vehicle-type toy 10. In FIGS. 1A and 1B, a three-dimensional coordinate system is set. In the coordinate system, the X-axis direction defines the left-right direction (lateral direction, or width direction) of the vehicle-type toy 10. The Y-axis direction defines the front-back direction (longitudinal direction, or depth direction) of the vehicle-type toy 10. The Z-axis direction defines the up-down direction (height direction) of the vehicle-type toy 10. In the present disclosure, unless otherwise specified, the front-back, left-right, and up-down directions follow the directions based on the coordinate system.

[0011] The vehicle-type toy 10 has a configuration in which front wheels 102 and rear wheels 103 are provided on a main body 101. The number of wheels is one on each side both at the front and the rear, but more wheels may be provided. For example, the number of front wheels and rear wheels does not necessarily have to match, such as two front wheels on one side and three rear wheels on one side.

[0012] A plurality of decorative parts capable of changing the appearance are arranged on the main body of the vehicle-type toy 10. The first decorative part 104 is arranged above the rear wheel 103, and the second decorative part 105 is further arranged thereon. Also, a third decorative part 106 is arranged between the front wheel 102 and the rear wheel 103 of the main body 101. A fourth decorative part 108 is arranged on the front side of the main body relative to the front wheel of the main body 101, and a fifth decorative part 107 is arranged near the front wheel 102.

[0013] In the configuration shown in Figure 1A, the first decorative part 104 is positioned closer to the rear wheel 103 (first position). From this state, in the configuration shown in Figure 1B, it moves to a position spaced further away from the rear wheel 103 and above the main body (second position). Figure 1B shows an example of the appearance of the first decorative part 104 after it has been deformed in the second position.

[0014] In the configuration shown in Figure 1A, the second decorative part 105 is positioned above the first decorative part 104, which is in the first position. The second decorative part 105 is configured to be rotatable along a portion of the outer circumference of the first decorative part 104. The second decorative part 105 includes a member that is rotatable in a plane parallel to the outer circumference of a portion of the first decorative part 104, and in the configuration shown in Figure 1B, when the second decorative part 105 is rotated and the member is positioned on the side of the main body, the member covers a portion of the rear wheel 103.

[0015] In the configuration shown in Figure 1A, the rear wheel 103 is exposed and visible from the side of the vehicle-type toy 10. In contrast, in the configuration shown in Figure 1B, a portion of the rear wheel 103 is covered by the aforementioned second decorative part 105. The remaining portion of the rear wheel 103 is covered by the cover member 110.

[0016] In the configuration shown in Figure 1A, the third decorative part 106, which is positioned on the side of the main body 101 between the front wheel 102 and the rear wheel 103, is positioned close to the main body 101. In contrast, in the configuration shown in Figure 1B, the third decorative part 106 is positioned at a distance from the main body 101. Furthermore, as will be described later with reference to Figures 6A and 6B, the third decorative part 106 has multiple opening and closing members, allowing its appearance to be changed.

[0017] In the configuration shown in Figure 1A, the fourth decorative part 108, which is positioned in front of the main body of the front wheel 102, has a member 111 positioned so that its surface is continuous with (forming a continuous surface with) the fourth decorative part 108 in the configuration shown in Figure 1B. In the pre-deformation configuration shown in Figure 1A, the member 111 is positioned on the back side of the fourth decorative part 108, and is configured to be able to be pulled backward to a position where its surface is continuous with that of the fourth decorative part 108.

[0018] In the configuration shown in Figure 1A, the fifth decorative part 107, which is positioned close to the side of the main body, can change its appearance so that, in the configuration shown in Figure 1B, it is positioned close to the upper side of the front wheel 102. Also, in the configuration shown in Figure 1A, the sliding member 109, which is positioned on the side of the fourth decorative part 108, is configured to slide in the front-rear direction of the main body 101, and in the configuration shown in Figure 1B, it is shown in a state where it is slid forward. In this state, a part of the surface of the sliding member 109 is configured to be continuous with the surface of the fifth decorative part 107.

[0019] <First decorative part 104> Next, with reference to Figure 2, an example of changing the appearance of the first decorative part 104 of the vehicle-type toy 10 according to this embodiment will be described. Figure 2(A) shows an example of the arrangement of the first decorative part 104 in the first appearance of the vehicle-type toy 10 shown in Figure 1A. Here, the first decorative part 104 is configured to include part 201, part 202, and part 203, with an internal part 204 arranged inside part 203. Part 202 is configured to partially cover part 201. The internal part 204 is a part that defines the vertical movement range of the first decorative part 104.

[0020] Figure 2(B) shows an example of the state in which the first decorative part 104 has been moved from the first position shown in Figure 2(A) to the upper second position. Figure 2(C) shows an example of the deformation of parts 201 and 203 in the second position shown in Figure 2(B). Part 201 is composed of a cover member 201a and an internal member 201b, and at least a portion of the internal member 201b is exposed by sliding the cover member 201a backward. Part 203 is also composed of a cover member 203a and an internal member 203b, and at least a portion of the internal member 203b is exposed by sliding the cover member 203a forward. In the state shown in Figure 2(C), part 202 is rotatable in the direction of the arrow, and part 202 is connected to the internal member 201b and is configured to rotate around an internal axis (not shown).

[0021] Part 202 includes unfolding members 202a, 202b, etc. The surface of the unfolding member 202a, etc., constitutes a part of the surface of part 202 in its pre-unfolded state, as shown in Figures 2(A) to (C). When the unfolding member 202a, etc., is unfolded, the unfolded member protrudes outward from the surface of part 202, as shown in Figure 2(D).

[0022] <Deployment member 202a, etc.> Next, with reference to Figures 3A to 3C, the specific configuration and unfolding of the unfolding member 202a will be described. Figure 3A shows an example of a cross-sectional view of the A-A' plane in Figure 2(B). In Figure 3A, the unfolding member 202a is housed inside part 202 in a folded state. In this embodiment, four unfolding members are arranged inside part 202, and part 202c is located on the opposite side of part 202a. Since part 202c has the same configuration as part 202a, part 202a will be described below.

[0023] The unfolding member 202a consists of a first unfolding part 301, a connecting part 302, and a second unfolding part 303. The first unfolding part 301 is rotatably connected to the second unfolding part 303 via the connecting part 302. The first unfolding part 301 is rotatably connected to part 202 at a connecting portion 301a at its end. The first unfolding part 301 is also rotatably connected to the connecting part 302 via a connecting portion 302a. The connecting part 302 is further connected to the notched portion 303a of the second unfolding part 303 via a connecting portion 302b. The connecting part 302 and the second unfolding part 303 are also rotatable relative to the first unfolding part 301 and folded inward, so as to be housed inside the first unfolding part within part 202. In this state, with the second unfolding part 303 and the like housed inside, the surface of the first unfolding part 301 is continuous with the surface of part 202.

[0024] Next, with reference to Figure 3B, the unfolding of the unfolding member 202a will be explained. Figure 3B(A) shows the unfolding member 202a shown in Figure 3A before unfolding. In this state, by pulling out the second unfolding part 303 in the direction of the arrow, the connecting part 302 rotates via the connecting parts 302b and 302a. This allows the second unfolding part 303 to rotate relative to the first unfolding part 301, transitioning to the state shown in Figure 3B(B). In this state, by further pulling out the second unfolding part 303 in the direction of the arrow, the connecting part 302 rotates further, allowing the second unfolding part 303 to rotate even further relative to the first unfolding part 301. As a result of this rotation, the state shown in Figure 3B(C) is reached.

[0025] In the state shown in Figure 3B(C), the first unfolding part 301 and the second unfolding part 303 are arranged so that their surfaces are continuous. Furthermore, the notched portion 303a of the second unfolding part 303 exposes the surface 302c of the connecting part 302 near the connecting portion 302b to the outside through the notched portion 303a. As a result, the surface 302c of the connecting part 302 is arranged so that it is continuous with the surfaces of the first unfolding part 301 and the second unfolding part 303. In this way, when the unfolding member 202a is unfolded, the surfaces 302c of the first unfolding part 301, the second unfolding part 303, and the connecting part 302 become continuous. By coloring the parts that make up the surface side of these members with the same color, the continuity can be further emphasized. At that time, the unexposed surfaces of each part can be colored with a different color from the surface, for example, a dark color (gray or black), to further highlight the surface structure.

[0026] By unfolding the unfolding members 202a and the like in this way, the unfolding members 202a and 202c can be made to protrude from the outside of part 202, as shown in Figure 3C. Figure 3C shows an example of a cross-sectional view of the B-B' plane in Figure 2(D). In the state shown in Figure 3C, the unfolding members 202a and the like can be rotated relative to part 202 via the connecting portion 301a at the end of the first unfolding part 301, thereby changing the protrusion angle relative to part 202.

[0027] <Second decorative part 105> Next, the configuration of the second decorative part 105 will be described with reference to Figure 4. Figure 4 shows examples of the configuration of the second decorative part 105 as seen from the side and the front. Figure 4(A) shows an example of the configuration of the second decorative part 105 before deformation. The second decorative part 105 is configured to be rotatable along a part of the outer circumference of the part 203 of the first decorative part when the first decorative part 104 is in the first position. The second decorative part 105 is configured to include a rotating member 401 that can rotate on a plane parallel to the outer circumference of the part 203 (tangent plane), a support member 402 that rotatably supports the rotating member 401, and a rotating member 403 that can rotate along the outer circumference of the part 203. The rotating member 403 is configured to be rotatable in the direction of the arrow in the diagram shown from the front in Figure 4(A).

[0028] Figure 4(B) shows the state of the second decorative part 105 after the rotating member 403 has been rotated from the state shown in Figure 4(A). In Figure 4(B), the rotation of the rotating member 403 causes the rotating member 401 to move from the position above the rear wheel 103 to the position on the side. In this state, the rotating member 401 can be rotated around the shaft portion 402a in the direction indicated by the arrow. Note that the direction of rotation is not limited to the direction indicated by the arrow. Rotate the rotating member 401 and stop it in a position where it covers a part of the rear wheel 103. As a result, as shown in Figure 4(C), one end of the rotating member 401 covers a part of the rear wheel 103, while the other end extends diagonally upward relative to the rear wheel 103, thus expressing a sense of speed in the appearance of the vehicle-type toy 10.

[0029] <Cover member 110> Next, with reference to Figures 5A and 5B, the configuration of the cover member 110, which is configured to cover the rear wheel 103 together with the rotating member 401, will be described. Figure 5A(A) shows an example of the cover member 110 being housed inside the main body 101. The main body 101 has an opening / closing member 501, and a housing space (housing section) capable of housing the cover member 110 is arranged inside the opening / closing member 501. The housing space is identified in Figures 5A(B) and (C) as the area 502 enclosed by the dashed line indicated by reference number 502.

[0030] Figure 5A(B) shows the cover member 110 positioned within the housing space 502 when the opening / closing member 501 is opened in the direction of the arrow in Figure 5A(A). In Figure 5A, the cover member 110 is shown as a hatched area for distinction. The cover member 110 can be pulled out in the direction of the arrow in Figure 5A(B). Figure 5A(C) shows the cover member 110 pulled out from the housing space 502 and positioned to cover a part of the rear wheel 103. At this time, the cover member 110 can be positioned to form a continuous surface with the rotating member 401. Figure 5A(D) shows the opening / closing member 501 in the closed state in the state of Figure 5A(C). In this state, the cover member 110 is positioned to form a continuous surface with the opening / closing member 501. As a result, the surfaces of the opening / closing member 501, the cover member 110, and the rotating member 401 are continuous, forming a continuous surface. In Figure 5A(D), the wheel 103 is not completely covered by the cover member 110 and the rotating member 401, but it may be made to be completely covered.

[0031] Next, an example of the structure of the cover member 110 will be described with reference to Figure 5B. Figure 5B is a simplified diagram showing the structure of the cover member 110 corresponding to the embodiment. The cover member 110 is composed of a connecting member 511, a first cover member 512, and a second cover member 513.

[0032] Figure 5B(A) shows an example of a state in which each component constituting the cover member 110 is housed within the housing space 502. In this state, the housing space 502 is closed by the opening / closing member 501, so that each component constituting the cover member 110 is not visible from the outside. The connecting member 511 is connected to the main body 101 at one end and is configured to be rotatable relative to the main body 101. The connecting member 511 is rotatably connected to the first cover member 512 at the other end. The first cover member 512 is rotatably connected to the second cover member 513 around the shaft portion 513a at the end opposite to the end connected to the connecting member 511.

[0033] The opening / closing member 501 is opened in the direction of the arrow shown in Figure 5B(A). When the opening / closing member 501 is in the open state, the first cover member 512 can be pulled out of the housing space 502 by rotating the connecting member 511 and the first cover member 512, as shown in Figure 5B(B). By pulling out the first cover member 512 further in the direction of the arrow shown in Figure 5B(B), the first cover member 512 and the second cover member 512 can be positioned outside the housing space 502, as shown in Figure 5B(C). At this time, by rotating the second cover member 512 around the shaft portion 513a relative to the first cover member 512 in the direction indicated by the arrow, the surfaces of the first cover member 512 and the second cover member 513 form a continuous surface, thereby forming the cover member 110. In this state, by closing the opening / closing member 501, the housing space 502 is covered by the opening / closing member 501 so that it cannot be seen from the outside. Furthermore, the surfaces of the opening / closing member 501 and the first cover member 512 and the second cover member 513 form a continuous surface.

[0034] <Third decorative part 106> Next, the configuration of the third decorative part 106 will be described with reference to Figures 6A and 6B. Figure 6A is a diagram illustrating an example of the change in the external configuration of the third decorative part. The third decorative part 106 is located on the side of the main body part 101 between the front wheel 102 and the rear wheel 103, but in Figure 6A, only the third decorative part 106 is shown for simplification.

[0035] The third decorative section 106 includes first opening / closing members 601a and 601b and second opening / closing members 602a and 602b. The first opening / closing members 601a and 601b and the second opening / closing members 602a and 602b each have a curved surface and are divided into separate members at the top of the curved surface. In the state shown in Figure 6A(A), the first opening / closing members 601a and 601b are in contact with each other so as to form a continuous surface at their tops, and also form a continuous surface with the front surface 600f of the main body 600 of the third decorative section 106. Furthermore, the first opening / closing members 601a and 601b are in contact with each other so as to form a continuous surface with the second opening / closing members 602a and 602b. The second opening and closing members 602a and 602b are also in contact with each other at their tops so as to form a continuous surface, and also form a continuous surface with the rear surface 600r of the main body 600 of the third decorative part 106.

[0036] In the third decorative section 106, the first opening and closing members 601a and 601b can be opened by moving them to the front side of the main body 101. Similarly, the second opening and closing members 602a and 602b can also be opened by moving them to the rear side of the main body 101. The appearance when each is moved to the open state will be further explained with reference to Figures 6A(B) and later.

[0037] Figure 6A(B) shows an example of how the second opening / closing members 602a and 602b are moved to the open state. In Figure 6A(A), the second opening / closing members 602a and 602b were in contact at their tops, forming a continuous surface. In contrast, in Figure 6A(B), their tops are separated, and the second opening / closing members 602a and 602b move towards the rear within the main body 600, and are housed in the rear side of the internal space 603 within the main body 600. This internal space 603 also functions as a housing section for the first opening / closing members 601a and 601b and the second opening / closing members 602a and 602b. At this time, the surfaces of the second opening / closing members 602a and 602b no longer form a continuous surface with the rear surface 600r of the main body 600 of the third decorative part 106.

[0038] From the state shown in Figure 6A(B), if the second opening / closing members 602a and 602b are moved further towards the rear inside the main body 600, the state shown in Figure 6A(C) is reached. At this time, the second opening / closing members 602a and 602b are almost completely housed in the rear side of the internal space 603 inside the main body 600. Also, a part of the internal structure 603a, which is located inside the internal space 603, is exposed.

[0039] Next, Figure 6A(D) shows an example of how the first opening / closing members 601a and 601b are moved to the open state. Up to Figure 6A(C), the first opening / closing members 601a and 601b were in contact so as to form a continuous surface at their tops, but in Figure 6A(D), their tops separate and the first opening / closing members 601a and 601b move forward within the main body 600 and are housed in the front side of the internal space 603 within the main body 600. At this time, the first opening / closing members 601a and 601b do not move forward within the main body 600 without changing their inclination, but rather move with an inclination so that the front side of the first opening / closing members 601a and 601b sinks downward. At this time, the first opening / closing members 601a and 601b no longer form a continuous surface with the front surface 600f of the main body 600 of the third decorative part 106.

[0040] Moving the first opening / closing members 601a and 601b further forward within the main body 600 from the state shown in Figure 6A(D) results in the state shown in Figure 6A(E). At this point, the first opening / closing members 601a and 601b are mostly housed in the front part of the internal space 603 within the main body 600. The internal structure 603a, located within the internal space 603, is almost completely exposed. Subsequently, moving the first opening / closing members 601a and 601b further forward within the main body 600 results in the state shown in Figure 6A(F). At this point, the first opening / closing members 601a and 601b are mostly housed in the front part of the internal space 603 within the main body 600. The internal structure 603a, located within the internal space 603, is completely exposed.

[0041] In the first state, as shown in Figure 6A(F), where the first opening / closing members 601a and 601b and the second opening / closing members 602a and 602b are in the open position, the internal structure 603a located in the internal space 603 is exposed. In Figure 6A(F), only one member of the internal structure 603a is shown, but this is merely an illustrative representation, and any structure can be placed. Furthermore, the internal structure 603a may be rotatably arranged within the internal space 603.

[0042] Furthermore, in the second state, as shown in Figure 6A(A), where the first opening / closing members 601a and 601b and the second opening / closing members 602a and 602b are in the closed state, the first opening / closing members 601a and 601b and the second opening / closing members 602a and 602b form a continuous surface on their surfaces, and this continuous surface is configured to be continuous with the front and rear surfaces 600f and 600r of the third decorative part.

[0043] Next, with reference to Figure 6B, the configuration of the first opening / closing members 601a and 601b and the second opening / closing members 602a and 602b will be described. Figure 6B(A) shows an example of a view from the front when the first opening / closing members 601a and 601b and the second opening / closing members 602a and 602b are in the second state described above. Figure 6B(B) shows an example of a view from the back when the first opening / closing members 601a and 601b and the second opening / closing members 602a and 602b are in the second state described above.

[0044] In Figure 6B(A), the first opening / closing members 601a and 601b form a continuous surface on their surfaces, and the second opening / closing members 602a and 602b also form a continuous surface on their surfaces. Furthermore, the first opening / closing member 601a and the second opening / closing member 602a form a continuous surface on their surfaces, and the first opening / closing member 601b and the second opening / closing member 602b also form a continuous surface on their surfaces.

[0045] In the third decorative part 106 of this embodiment, the state in which a continuous surface is formed is maintained, and the reason for this will be explained with reference to Figure 6B(B). As shown in Figure 6B(B), the first opening and closing members 601a and 601b are connected via a shaft 611. Specifically, the first opening and closing member 601a has a connecting part 614a, and the first opening and closing member 601b has a connecting part 614b, and the shaft 611 passes through the connecting parts 614a and 614b, as well as through a biasing spring 613 positioned between the connecting parts 614a and 614b. As a result, the position of the biasing spring 613 is fixed, and the biasing force of the biasing spring 613 is reliably applied to the first opening and closing members 601a and 601b. This biasing force acts in the direction of closing so that the first opening and closing members 601a and 601b form a continuous surface at their tops.

[0046] Similarly, the second opening / closing members 602a and 602b are connected via a shaft 612. Specifically, the second opening / closing member 602a has a connecting portion 615a, and the second opening / closing member 602b has a connecting portion 615b. The shaft 612 passes through the connecting portions 615a and 615b, and also through a biasing spring 614 positioned between the connecting portions 615a and 615b. This fixes the position of the biasing spring 614, ensuring that the biasing force of the biasing spring 614 is reliably applied to the second opening / closing members 602a and 602b. This biasing force acts in the direction that closes the second opening / closing members 602a and 602b so that they form a continuous surface at their tops.

[0047] <Configuration of the front side of the vehicle-type toy 10> Next, with reference to Figures 7A and 7B, an example of a change in the appearance configuration of the fourth decorative part 108 and the fifth decorative part 107, which are located on the front side of the vehicle-type toy 10, will be described. Figure 7A schematically shows an example of the appearance configuration of the fourth decorative part 108 and the fifth decorative part 107 in the first appearance configuration of the vehicle-type toy 10. Figure 7B schematically shows an example of the appearance configuration of the fourth decorative part 108 and the fifth decorative part 107 in the second appearance configuration of the vehicle-type toy 10.

[0048] <Fourth decorative part 108> One of the differences between Figure 7A and Figure 7B regarding the appearance of the vehicle-type toy 10 is that a component 111 is positioned behind the fourth decorative component 108. The arrangement of this component 111 will be explained with reference to Figure 8. Figure 8 shows an example of the external configuration of the fourth decorative component 108 as seen from the back of the main body 101.

[0049] Figure 8(A) shows an example of a state corresponding to the first external appearance configuration of the fourth decorative part 108. In Figure 8(A), the second surface member 802 is positioned on the back side of the first surface member 801 (first arrangement state). The first surface member 801 is a component that constitutes the external appearance of the fourth decorative part 108. The second surface member 802 is rotatably connected to the first surface member 801 on the back side of the first surface member 801. In the first arrangement state, where the second surface member 802 is positioned on the back side of the first surface member 801, its surface is covered by the first surface member. However, it is not necessary for the entire surface of the second surface member 802 to be covered by the first surface member 801; it is sufficient for only a portion to be covered.

[0050] The second surface member 802 is configured in a form in which the first surface part 802a and the second surface part 802b are connected, with the second surface part 802b located closer to the main body 101 than the first surface part 802a. Furthermore, the second surface part 802b is configured to be bent relative to the first surface part 802a in the direction of the arrow in Figure 8(A). Figure 8(B) shows the state in which the second surface part 802b is bent relative to the first surface part 802a in this manner. In the state shown in Figure 8(B), the second surface part 802b can avoid contact with the main body 101, so the second surface member 802 can be moved in the direction of the arrow in Figure 8(B). In Figure 8(B), the second surface member 802 was located on the back side of the first surface member 801, but by moving the second surface member 802, it can be moved to a position in which a continuous surface can be formed with the surface of the first surface member 801.

[0051] Although Figure 8 does not show the connection configuration between the first surface member 801 and the second surface member 802, a connection configuration such as that shown in Figure 3B can be adopted. Specifically, the first surface member 801 corresponds to the first unfolding part 301, the second surface member 802 corresponds to the second unfolding part 303, and a further connecting part corresponding to the connecting part 302 can be provided. This makes it possible to move the second surface member 802, which is located on the back side of the first surface member 801, to a position where it forms a continuous surface with the surface of the first surface member 801.

[0052] In Figure 8(C), it is possible to position the second surface member 802 behind the first surface member 801. However, at this point, the second surface part 802b remains bent. By rotating it in the direction of the arrow in Figure 8(C), in the state shown in Figure 8(D) (second arrangement state), the second surface part 802b can also form a continuous surface with the surface of the first surface member 801. Here, Figure 8(D) shows an example of a state corresponding to the second external appearance configuration of the fourth decorative part 108.

[0053] <Fifth decorative part 107> The difference between Figure 7A and Figure 7B in the appearance of the vehicle-type toy 10, specifically regarding the fifth decorative part 107, is that in Figure 7A, the fifth decorative part 107 is positioned close to the side of the main body 101, whereas in Figure 7B, the fifth decorative part 107 is positioned close to the upper side of the front wheel 102. This change in the configuration of the fifth decorative part 107 will be explained with reference to Figures 9A to 9C.

[0054] Figures 9A and 9B show the transition of changes in the configuration of the fifth decorative member 107. Figure 9A(A) corresponds to the arrangement of the fifth decorative member 107 in the first external configuration of the vehicle-type toy 10 shown in Figure 7A. The configuration of the fifth decorative member 107 will now be described. The fifth decorative member 107 is composed of a first rotating member 901, a second rotating member 902, and a first decorative member 903. The first rotating member 901 is rotatably connected to the main body 101 at one end and rotatably connected to one end of the second rotating member 902 at the other end. The other end of the second rotating member 902 is configured to engage with the inside of the first decorative member 903. The first decorative member 903 can change its tilt in any direction relative to the second rotating member 902 via the engagement portion. In the state shown in Figure 9A(A), the surface 903a of the first decorative member 903 faces the side of the main body 101.

[0055] As shown in Figure 9A(A), in the state where the first decorative member 903 is positioned close to the side surface of the main body 101 (third arrangement state), the first rotating member 901 and the second rotating member 902 are positioned inside the first decorative member 903 and the main body 101, and are not visible from the outside. However, when the first decorative member 903 is moved in the direction of the arrow in Figure 9A(A) to separate it from the side surface of the main body 101, the first rotating member 901 and the second rotating member 902 rotate, and the state becomes visible from the outside. An example of this state is shown in Figure 9A(B).

[0056] In the state shown in Figure 9A(B), when the first rotating member 901 is further rotated in the direction of the arrow in the figure, the first rotating member 901 rotates relative to the main body 101 around the pivot axis 901b, and the other end connected to the second rotating member 902 moves forward of the main body 101. At this time, while maintaining its engagement with the first decorative member 903, the second rotating member 902 rotates around the engagement portion 902a with the first decorative member 903 in order to respond to the rotation of the first rotating member 901, and one end connected to the first rotating member 901 moves forward of the main body 101. This results in the state shown in Figure 9B(C). Note that, for the sake of simplicity of illustration, the first rotating member 901, the second rotating member 902, and the first decorative member 903 are all shown as solid lines from Figure 9A(B) onward.

[0057] If the first rotating member 901 is further rotated forward of the main body 101 in the state shown in Figure 9B(C), the state shown in Figure 9B(D) is reached. In this state, the notch 903b of the first decorative member 903 coincides with the position of the pivot axis 901a of the first rotating member 901. By rotating the first decorative member 903 in the direction of the arrow in Figure 9B(D) in this state, the portion of the first rotating member where the pivot axis 901a is located is housed inside the first decorative member 903 from the notch 903b. This state is shown in Figure 9B(E). That is, in the state shown in Figure 9B(E) (fourth arrangement state), the first decorative member 903 has rotated 90 degrees from the state shown in Figure 9B(D). As a result, the surface on which the first decorative member 903 was in contact with the side of the main body 101 in Figure 9A(A) will now be in contact with the upper side of the front wheel 102 in Figure 9B(E).

[0058] Here, examples of cross-sectional views of the C-C' plane in Figure 9B(D) and the D-D' plane in Figure 9B(E) are shown in Figures 9C(A) and (B). In Figure 9C(A), the notch 903b of the first decorative member 903 is located above the first rotating member 901 and the second rotating member 902. Here, the surface 903a of the first decorative member 903 is facing the side surface of the main body 101. When the first decorative member 903 is rotated 90 degrees in the direction of the arrow in this state, it becomes the state shown in Figure 9C(B). At this time, a part 90 of the first rotating member 901 is housed inside the first decorative member 903 through the notch 903b of the first decorative member 903. The second rotating member 902 maintains its original housed state. Here, the surface 903a of the first decorative member 903 is facing the upper surface of the front wheel 102.

[0059] Furthermore, in this embodiment, when transitioning from Figure 9B(D) to Figure 9B(F), the slide member 109 located to the side of the fourth decorative part 108 can be slid forward of the main body 101. The slide member 109 engages with the first decorative member 903 such that it forms a continuous surface with the end surface of the first decorative member 903. Figure 9C(C) shows how the two members engage at this time. In Figure 9C(C), the first decorative member 903 is located above the front wheel 102. Here, the front end of the first decorative member 903 engages with the upper surface of the slide member 109, and the surfaces of the front end side of the first decorative member 903 and the side of the slide member 109 form a continuous surface. Also, Figure 9C(C) shows that the surface 903a of the first decorative member 903 faces the side of the upper surface of the front wheel 102.

[0060] According to the vehicle-type toy 10 shown in the above embodiment, the appearance of the vehicle-type toy 10 can be varied in many ways by using multiple decorative parts arranged on the main body 101, thereby creating an element of interest.
