Description

Detachable toys

[0001] The present invention relates to a detachable toy, and more specifically, to a detachable toy in which a housing and a locking part are combined to allow a character to be stored inside the housing, and when the combination with the locking part is released, the housing and the character are separated from each other and each transforms into a second shape.

[0002] Among the toys that infants and children can generally play with, toys that transform their shape provide various forms of play effects.

[0003] There are two ways to change the shape of a toy: one is to change the shape of the toy through manual operation, and the other is to change the shape through the operation of a locking means using the magnetic force of a magnet.

[0004] In particular, a toy utilizing magnetic force is configured to include an external structure, an internal structure accommodated within the external structure, and a locking means that operates in conjunction with the movement of a magnet that is movably arranged within the toy when the magnet moves.

[0005] When the above magnetic member is moved by the action of a magnetic force, the locking means causes the toy to be transformed from the first shape to the second shape.

[0006] A shape-changing toy using such magnetic force is described in the Republic of Korea Patent Publication No. 10-2008-101924, titled ‘Toy.’

[0007] In a toy according to the prior art, when a magnetic force is supplied, the locking state by the locking members is unlocked in conjunction with the movement of the magnet, and as a result, the connection between the external structures folded into a spherical shape in the locked state by the locking members is unlocked, and the external structures are transformed from the first shape to the second shape.

[0008] In addition, in the toy according to the prior art, when a toy that rolls on a floor approaches a magnet placed on the floor while rolling, the magnetic force of the magnet is supplied to the toy, and the spherical toy stops rolling and moves, is fixed in place, and is transformed from a first spherical shape to a second shape.

[0009] However, toys according to conventional technology have a problem in that the structure of the toy becomes complicated because they adopt a configuration in which an external structure including multiple members or an upper member is arranged based on an internal structure or a lower member that acts as a support.

[0055] As shown in FIGS. 1 to 6, a detachable toy (100) according to the first embodiment may be configured to include a housing portion (110), a character portion (120) stored in the housing portion (110), a lock portion (130), and a card assembly (200).

[0056] In addition, a detachable toy (100) according to one embodiment of the present invention may have a housing portion (110) that maintains an overall spherical or non-spherical shape, but may have a storage space formed inside.

[0057] In addition, a detachable toy (100) according to one embodiment of the present invention can be stored in a housing (110) while maintaining a certain posture with the character portion (120).

[0058] In addition, in a detachable toy (100) according to one embodiment of the present invention, the housing portion (110) and the character portion (120) can be separated from each other.

[0059] In addition, a detachable toy (100) according to one embodiment of the present invention can be deployed in a state where the housing part (110) is individually separated into a plurality of housing bodies (111, 112, 113, 114) or the plurality of housing bodies (111, 112, 113, 114) are connected, and the deployed housing bodies (111, 112, 113, 114) can be transformed into any shape.

[0060] The housing part (110) is formed by combining a plurality of housing bodies (111, 112, 113, 114) with a locking part (130) to maintain an overall spherical or non-spherical shape, and a storage space can be formed on the inside.

[0061] In addition, when the housing part (110) is released from the locking part (130), the housing body (111, 112, 113, 114) can be expanded and transformed into any shape.

[0062] For this purpose, the housing part (110) may be composed of a housing body (111), housing body 1 (112), housing body 2 (113), and housing body 3 (114) that are separated from each other.

[0063] In this embodiment, for convenience of explanation, four distinct housing bodies are described, but it is not limited thereto, and it may be composed of two or more housing bodies, and the shapes of each housing body may be composed of different shapes.

[0064] Additionally, the housing body (111), housing body 1 (112), housing body 2 (113), and housing body 3 (114) may be formed as separate individual components, or may all be connected.

[0065] In addition, the shapes of the housing body (111), housing body 1 (112), housing body 2 (113), and housing body 3 (114) can be configured so that the overall outer shape has a curvature, so that a curved area can be formed on the inside.

[0066] In addition, the housing body (111), the housing body 1 (112), the housing body 2 (113), and the housing body 3 (114) may additionally be configured with a housing auxiliary body (111'), a housing auxiliary body 1 (112'), a housing auxiliary body 2 (113), and a housing auxiliary body 3 (114') at the end.

[0067] That is, the hinges (111a, 112a, 113a, 114a) formed on one side of the housing body (111), the housing body 1 (112), the housing body 2 (113), and the housing body 3 (114), and the hinges (111'a, 112'a, 113'a, 114'a) formed on the housing auxiliary body (111'), the housing auxiliary body 1 (112'), the housing auxiliary body 2 (113), and the housing auxiliary body 3 (114') can be configured to be rotatable or movable using hinge pins (111c, 112c, 113c, 114c) and springs (111d, 112d, 113d, 114d).

[0068] Through this, when the housing body (111), housing body 1 (112), housing body 2 (113), and housing body 3 (114), and the housing auxiliary body (111'), housing auxiliary body 1 (112'), housing auxiliary body 2 (113), and housing auxiliary body 3 (114') are all unfolded, the overall shape of the housing portion (110) can be a specific shape, such as an 'egg'.

[0069] In addition, when the housing part (110) is separated from the character part (120), the housing auxiliary body 1 (112'), the housing auxiliary body 2 (113) and the housing auxiliary body 3 (114') can be deformed (for example, fan-shaped) by rotating or moving toward the housing body (111), the housing body 1 (112), the housing body 2 (113) and the housing body 3 (114) through the elasticity of the springs (111d, 112d, 113d, 114d).

[0070] Additionally, a joining groove (111b, 112b, 113b, 114b) may be formed on the upper portion of the housing body (111), housing body 1 (112), housing body 2 (113), and housing body 3 (114), respectively.

[0071] The coupling grooves (111b, 112b, 113b, 114b) enable the housing body (111), housing body 1 (112), housing body 2 (113), and housing body 3 (114) to be rotatably or movably coupled to each other through the support hinge (116a) and through hole (116b) formed in the support (116), and the coupling pin (116c) and spring (116d).

[0072] That is, when the housing body (111), housing body 1 (112), housing body 2 (113), and housing body 3 (114) are separated from the character portion (120), they can be rotated to spread outward around, for example, the support portion (116) through the elastic force of the spring (116d).

[0073] In addition, a catch groove (117) is installed at the ends of the housing auxiliary body 1 (112'), the housing auxiliary body 2 (113) and the housing auxiliary body 3 (114') so that the housing part (110) can be maintained in a locked state coupled with the locking part (130).

[0074] In this embodiment, for convenience of explanation, when the housing part (110) is released from the locked state with the lock part (130), it is separated from the character part (120), and the separated housing part (110) is configured to be transformed through rotation into a shape such as a 'shield', for example, but it is not limited thereto and can be configured to be changed and transformed into various shapes through movement, separation, or arbitrary movement.

[0075] In addition, the housing part (110) released from the locked state is expanded by the elastic force of the springs (111d, 112d, 113d, 114, 116d) and the housing part (110) transformed into a shield shape can be attached and mounted to the character part (120).

[0076] The character part (120) can be installed separately from the housing part (110) on the inside of the housing part (110), and when the housing part (110) is deployed separately from the locking part (130), it can be exposed separately from the housing part (110).

[0077] Additionally, the character part (120) can be stored in a folded state with at least a portion of the character body (121), such as the head, arms, legs, etc., inside the housing part (110).

[0078] To this end, the character part (120) may be configured to include a plurality of joints to which the character body (121) is movably connected, and a spring (not shown) that provides elasticity so that the character body (121) pops up around the joints.

[0079] The joint part can be configured to be rotatable with respect to each other through a configuration such as a hinge and hinge pin configured in the housing part (110), and can maintain a certain shape through the elasticity of the spring.

[0080] In addition, when the housing part (110) is unlocked and unfolded with the lock part (130), the character body (121) confined inside the housing part (110) pops up due to the elasticity of the joint part and presses the pressure projection (116') of the housing part (110), thereby being separated from the housing part (110).

[0081] In addition, the character part (120) can be transformed into a certain shape by popping up the character body (121) with the head, arms, legs, etc. folded, and the joining groove (122) of the transformed character part (120) can be combined with the pressing protrusion (116') of the housing part (110) transformed into a shield shape, so that the transformed housing part (110) and the character part (120) can be configured.

[0082] In addition, the character portion (120) may be formed in any one of the shapes of a human shape, an animal shape, a plant shape, a robot shape, and a specific object shape, but is not limited thereto and may be formed in various shapes.

[0083] In addition, the character part (120) may be configured to be separated from the lock part (130), and a magnet (not shown) may be provided at any location of the character part (120), for example, on the bottom or sole, so that the character part (120) can be selectively attached to the lock part (130).

[0084] The locking part (130) is installed at the bottom of the character part (120) and can be combined with the housing part (110) that houses the character part (120) to be in a locked state so that the housing part (110) can maintain a spherical or non-spherical outer shape.

[0085] In addition, the locking part (130) moves when the magnetic field is generated by the card assembly (200), thereby releasing the locking state combined with the housing part (110), thereby allowing the housing part (110) and the character part (120) to be separated.

[0086] For this purpose, the lock (130) may be configured to include a lock housing (131), a lock lever (132), a magnet (133), and a spring (134).

[0087] The lock housing (131) can be configured to include a lock upper housing (131a) that supports the character portion (120) to be fixed on the upper portion, and a lock lower housing (131b) that forms a storage space inside.

[0088] In addition, the lock housing (131) may be configured with a plurality of insertion portions (131c) at regular intervals so that the catching grooves (117) of the housing portion (110) are inserted into the side of the lock lower housing (131b).

[0089] The upper housing (131a) of the locking part may be made of a ferromagnetic metal material so as to form a magnetic field with the character part (120).

[0090] The lock lower housing (131b) may also be provided with a magnet (not shown) to form a magnetic field with the card assembly (200).

[0091] In this embodiment, it is described that the character part (120) can be fixed on the lock part (130) using a magnet, but it is not limited thereto, and a joining groove (not shown) may be formed so that a part of the character part (120) can be fitted into the upper housing (131a) of the lock part, and the character part (120) can be fixed through a forced fitting.

[0092] The lock lever (132) is installed in the lock housing (131) so as to be movable in the up / down direction, and has a catch (132a) formed at the end so as to be operated to be combined with or separated from the catch groove (117) of the housing (110).

[0093] The magnet (133) is installed at the bottom of the lock lever (132), and when the card assembly (200) is positioned at the bottom of the lock (130), it forms a magnetic field with the ferromagnetic body installed in the card assembly (200) to generate an attractive force.

[0094] Through this, the magnet (133) moves the lock lever (132) toward the card assembly (200) so that the lock lever (132) and the engaging groove (117) of the housing (110) are separated.

[0095] In addition, the magnet (133) enables the character portion (120) to be fixed in close contact with the card assembly (200) through an attractive force with the card assembly (200).

[0096] In this embodiment, the lock lever (132) is configured to move using the attractive force of the magnetic field between the magnet (133) and the card assembly (200), but it is not limited thereto, and the lock lever (132) may be configured with a weight made of a metal material rather than a magnet.

[0097] That is, when the lock lever (132) is composed of a weight, when the housing (110) and the character portion (120) collide with the card assembly (200) through free fall and an impact is generated, the weight undergoes a displacement due to inertial force, and the lock lever (132) moves toward the card assembly (200), so that the engaging projection (132a) at the end is separated from the engaging groove (117) of the housing portion (110), thereby unlocking the lock.

[0098] The weight may be made of a metal material with a large weight per unit volume so that a large displacement due to inertial force can occur.

[0099] Meanwhile, if the lock lever (132) is configured as a weight, a magnet (not shown) may be installed in the lock lower housing (131b) to form a magnetic field with the card assembly (200) so that the lock (130) and the card assembly (200) can be attached through the attraction of a magnetic field.

[0100] A spring (134) is installed between the lock lower housing (131b) and the lock lever (132), and can provide elasticity to maintain the lock lever (132) in a certain position.

[0101] That is, the spring (134) is compressed when the lock lever (132) moves toward the card assembly (200) located on the bottom by the magnet (133), and is restored when the card assembly (200) disappears, providing elasticity so that the lock lever (132) can move to its original position.

[0102] The card assembly (200) may be formed of a plate-shaped member having an external shape of any one of a circle, an oval, and a polygon, and may be formed in a card shape made of paper, plastic synthetic resin, or the like.

[0103] Additionally, the card assembly (200) may be configured to include a locking member (130) and a ferromagnetic material or magnet made of a metal material that forms a magnetic field.

[0104] In this embodiment, the shape of the card assembly (200) is described as a card shape, but it is not limited thereto, and can be configured in various ways, such as by changing it to a playing board having a certain size.

[0105] In addition, the card assembly (200) may have any character, number, letter, shape, picture, etc. attached to the outer surface by printing or formed by engraving, relief, etc.

[0106]

[0107] The following describes the operation of a detachable toy according to one embodiment of the present invention.

[0108] First, the state in which the external shape of the housing part (110) maintains a spherical or aspherical shape is defined as the first mode of the housing part (110), the state in which it is unfolded and deformed into an arbitrary shape is defined as the second mode of the housing part (110), and the state in which the head, arms, legs, etc. of the character part (120) are folded is defined as the first mode of the character part (120), and the state in which the head, arms, legs, etc. are popped up is defined as the second mode of the character part (120).

[0109] The character part (120) of the second mode is stored in the housing part (110) of the first mode, and the housing part (110) of the first mode is moved toward the locking part (130) to pressurize the character part (120), thereby causing the character part (120) to be transformed into the first mode inside the housing part (110).

[0110] In addition, the housing part (110) of the first mode is combined with the locking part (130) to be in a locked state, thereby allowing the head, arms, legs, etc. of the character part (120) to be folded inside the housing part (110) to be maintained in the first mode.

[0111] Continuing, the detachable toy (100) in which both the housing part (110) and the character part (120) are in the first mode state is moved to a card assembly (200) placed at an arbitrary location and placed on the card assembly (200).

[0112] As the detachable toy (100) is placed on the card assembly (200), the locking portion (130) can react with the ferromagnetic body of the card assembly (200) to release the locking state with the housing portion (110).

[0113] As the housing part (110) is unlocked, the housing part (110) of the first mode unfolds and transforms into the second mode, and the character part (120) of the first mode with the head, arms, legs, etc. folded pops up and transforms into the second mode.

[0114] When the housing part (110) and the character part (120) are each transformed into the second mode, toys of various shapes can be provided by combining the housing part (110) transformed into the second mode with the character part (120).

[0118] As shown in FIGS. 7 to 11, a detachable toy (300) according to the second embodiment includes a housing portion (310) composed of a plurality of housing bodies (311, 312, 313), and a character portion (320) stored on the inside of the housing portion (310) while maintaining the first shape as the external shape, and a card assembly (400) may be additionally configured so that the character portion (320) can be transformed.

[0119] The housing part (310) may be composed of a housing body (311), housing body 1 (312), and housing body 2 (313) formed in any shape so that the overall outer shape is spherical or non-spherical but a storage space can be formed inside.

[0120] In this embodiment, for convenience of explanation, three housing bodies are described, but this is not limited to the above, and the number of housing bodies can be changed and configured in various ways, and the external shape can also be changed and configured in various ways to have a shape in which a storage space can be configured inside, such as a hexahedral shape.

[0121] In addition, when the housing part (310) collides with the card assembly (400), the housing body (311), the housing body 1 (312), and the housing body 2 (313) may be individually separated, or some of the housing bodies among the housing body (311), the housing body 1 (312), and the housing body 2 (313) may be deployed in a connected state to separate from the character part (320) stored in the housing part (310).

[0122] For this purpose, the housing part (310) may be composed of a housing body (311), a housing body 1 (312), and a housing body 2 (313).

[0123] The housing body (311) may be formed of a hemispherical member, and a catch groove (311a) may be formed on the contact surface that comes into contact with the housing body 1 (312).

[0124] Additionally, a hinge portion (311b) is formed on one upper side of the housing body (311) so that it can be rotatably coupled to the housing body 2 (313).

[0125] Additionally, a through hole (314) may be formed in the lower part of the housing body (311) so that the stored character portion (320) can easily come into contact with the card assembly (400).

[0126] The housing body 1 (312) may be composed of a hemispherical member and may be configured to be selectively coupled or separated from the housing body (311).

[0127] In addition, the housing body 1 (312) is configured so that when combined with the housing body (311), an opening is formed at the top so that a character portion (320) can be inserted into the storage space inside.

[0128] Additionally, the housing body 1 (312) can be combined with the housing body (311) to form a through hole (314) at the bottom.

[0129] In addition, the housing body 1 (312) may have a locking part extraction hole (312a') through which the locking part (312a) is extracted and a pressing part extraction hole (312b') through which the pressing part (312b) is extracted formed on the side that comes into contact with the housing body (311).

[0130] The locking part (312a) is a configuration that fixes the housing body (311) and the housing body 1 (312) to maintain a coupled state, and is installed rotatably through a rotation shaft (312a"), and a catch formed at the end of the locking part (312a) passes through the locking part extraction hole (312a') and engages with the catch groove (311a) of the housing body (311), thereby maintaining the locked state and enabling the housing body (311) and the housing body 1 (312) to be coupled.

[0131] In this embodiment, the locking part (312a) is described as having a configuration that rotates around a rotation axis (312a"), but it is not limited thereto, and the locking part (312a) may be configured to be able to slide in the up / down direction and be configured to be coupled with the engaging groove (311a) of the housing body (311).

[0132] The pressurizing portion (312b) is configured to provide a pressurizing force so that the housing body (311) and the housing body 1 (312) are separated from each other when the locking state of the locking portion (312a) is released, and a pressurizing portion spring (312b") may be installed on one side.

[0133] In addition, the pressurizing portion (312b) maintains a state in which it is stored inside the housing body 1 (312) when the housing body (311) and the housing body 1 (312) are coupled to each other, and when the housing body (311) and the housing body 1 (312) are separated, the housing body (311) and the housing body 1 (312) can be separated from each other through the pressurizing force generated by the elastic force of the pressurizing portion spring (312b").

[0134] Housing body 2 (313) can be rotatably coupled to either housing body (311) or housing body 1 (312), and can be configured to include a spring (not shown), and in this embodiment, a configuration coupled to the housing body (311) is described as an embodiment.

[0135] Housing body 2 (313) is configured to open and close an opening at the top for collecting a character portion (320) when housing body (311) and housing body 1 (312) are combined, and can be fixed by being combined with housing body 1 (312) through a catch (313a) formed on the other side.

[0136] The latch part (315) is installed on the other side of the lock part (312a) and, when an impact occurs, provides displacement by inertial force so that the lock part (312a) rotates clockwise in the drawing around the rotation axis (312a") and is released. For example, it is configured as a weight, so that displacement of the lock part (312a) occurs through displacement by inertial force of the latch part (315).

[0137] That is, when, for example, a detachable toy (300) collides with a card assembly (400) through free fall and an impact is generated, the latch portion (315) causes displacement due to inertial force, so that the locking projection formed at the end of the locking portion (312a) and the locking groove (311a) of the housing body (311) can be unlocked.

[0138] In addition, when the latch part (315) is configured to allow the lock part (312a) to slide upward and downward, the latch part (315) can be displaced by inertial force to cause the lock part (312a) to move downward, thereby unlocking the locking projection formed at the end of the locking part (312a) and the locking groove (311a) of the housing body (311).

[0139] Additionally, the latch portion (315) may be made of a metal material having a large weight per unit volume so that a large displacement due to inertial force can occur.

[0140] In addition, the latch portion (315) may be configured to include a latch portion spring (315a) that provides elasticity so that the lock portion (312a) can be maintained in a state of being engaged with the engaging groove (311a) of the housing body (311) by maintaining a certain position.

[0141] Meanwhile, when the housing body (311) and the housing body 1 (312) are combined, a through hole (314) can be formed so that the character portion (320) can be easily attached to the card assembly (400) at the bottom.

[0142] The character part (320) is housed inside the housing part (310), and when the housing part (310) collides with the card assembly (400) and is separated from each other, it is attached to the card assembly (400) and pops up. It may be formed in any one shape among a human shape, an animal shape, a plant shape, a robot shape, and a specific object shape, but is not limited thereto, and may be formed in various shapes.

[0143] In addition, the character part (320) can be configured such that the character part auxiliary body (321) that is rotatably coupled to the character part body through a hinge part (321') and the character part auxiliary body 1 (321a) that is slidably coupled are fixed to the character part body through a locking part (323, 324).

[0144] That is, the character part auxiliary body (321) is coupled to the latch part (322) through the first lock part (323), and the character part auxiliary body 1 (321a) is coupled to the latch part (322) through the second lock part (324) and is fixed to the character part body to maintain the first shape.

[0145] In this embodiment, for the convenience of explanation, two character auxiliary bodies are described as an example, but it is not limited thereto, and a variety of character auxiliary bodies may be added and configured.

[0146] The first locking part (323) is combined with the latch part (322) to maintain a locked state so that the character part auxiliary body (321) can maintain a certain position, and when the locked state with the latch part (322) is released, the character part auxiliary body (321) can rotate or move through the hinge part (321') by the elastic force of the first locking part spring (323a).

[0147] The second locking part (324) is combined with the latch part (322) to maintain a locked state so that the character part auxiliary body 1 (321a) can maintain a certain position, and when the locked state with the latch part (322) is released, the elastic force of the second locking part spring (324a) allows the character part auxiliary body 1 (321a) to slide or move in one direction.

[0148] The latch portion (322) is configured to be movable in the up / down direction and may include a first latch portion (322a) coupled with a first lock portion (323) and a second latch portion (322b) coupled with a first lock portion (324).

[0149] The magnet part (325) is installed at the bottom of the latch part (322) and can form an attractive force with the card assembly (400) by a magnetic field.

[0150] In addition, when the magnet part (325) is attached to the card assembly (400) through manpower and moves toward the card assembly (400), the latch part (322) is displaced downward in the drawing, so that the locking state of the first locking part (323) and the second locking part (324) can be released.

[0151] As the first locking portion (323) and the second locking portion (324) are unlocked, the character portion auxiliary body (321) and the character portion auxiliary body 1 (321a) are separated from the character body, so that the external shape of the character portion (320) is transformed from the first shape to the second shape.

[0152] In addition, the magnet part (325) is attached to the card assembly (400), thereby allowing the character part (320) transformed into the second shape to pop up while attached to the card assembly (400).

[0153] In addition, the magnet part (324) can be fixed in a state of being attached to the card assembly (400) when the character part (320) transformed into the second shape pops up.

[0154] The card assembly (400) may be formed of a plate-shaped member having an external shape of any one of a circle, an oval, and a polygon, and may be formed in a card shape made of paper, plastic synthetic resin, or the like.

[0155] Additionally, the card assembly (400) may be configured to include a magnet portion (325) and a ferromagnetic material (410) or magnet made of a metal material that forms a magnetic field.

[0156] In this embodiment, the shape of the card assembly (400) is described as a card shape, but it is not limited thereto, and can be configured in various ways, such as by changing it to a playing board having a certain size.

[0157] In addition, the card assembly (400) may have any character, number, letter, shape, picture, etc. attached to the outer surface by printing or formed by engraving, relief, etc.

[0158]

[0159] The following describes the operation process of a detachable toy according to the second embodiment of the present invention.

[0160] FIG. 12 is an exemplary diagram illustrating the operation of a detachable toy according to the embodiment of FIG. 7, and FIG. 13 is another exemplary diagram illustrating the operation of a detachable toy according to the embodiment of FIG. 7.

[0161] As shown in FIGS. 12 and 13, first, the housing body (311) and the housing body 1 (312) are brought into close contact with each other so that the housing body (311) and the housing body 1 (312) are coupled through the locking portion (312a).

[0162] At this time, a storage space can be formed on the inside through the combination of the housing body (311) and the housing body 1 (312), and a spherical member with an open upper portion can be formed.

[0163] The character part (320) is stored in the housing part (310) in a first shape in which the character part auxiliary body (321) and the character part auxiliary body 1 (321a) are fixed to the character part body through a locking part, and after the character part (320) is stored, the housing body 2 (313) is rotated to form a spherical housing part (310).

[0164] Afterwards, the housing part (310) in which the character part (320) is stored is placed with the through hole (314) facing downwards and allowed to fall freely from a certain height above the card assembly (400).

[0165] As the housing part (310) collides with the card assembly (400), the latch part of the built-in housing part (310) is displaced by the inertial force resulting from the impact, and the locking part (312a) of the housing part (310) is released from the locked state.

[0166] As the locking part (312a) of the housing part (310) is unlocked, the pressing part (312b) presses the housing body (311) and the housing body 1 (312) through elastic force to separate them in opposite directions.

[0167] In addition, as the housing body (311) and the housing body 1 (312) are separated, the housing body 2 (313) connected to the housing body (311) can also be separated together, and can be separated while performing a rotational motion by the elastic force of the spring.

[0168] Continuing, as the housing body (311), housing body 1 (312), and housing body 2 (313) are separated, the embedded character portion (320) can be attached to the card assembly (400) by forming an attractive force with the card assembly (400) through a magnetic field.

[0169] As the character portion (320) is attached to the card assembly (400), the locking state of the lock portion is released, the character portion auxiliary body (321) and the character portion auxiliary body 1 (321a) are separated from the character portion body, and the shape of the character portion (320) is transformed from the first shape to the second shape, and the character portion (320) transformed into the second shape pops up while attached to the card assembly (400).

[0170] Accordingly, by combining the housing and the locking part so that the character is stored inside the housing, and when the combination with the locking part is released, the housing and the character are separated from each other and each transform into a second shape, thereby providing a toy that can transform into various shapes.

[0171] Additionally, the housing and character transformed into the second form can be combined to provide toys with various appearances.

[0172] Additionally, by implementing the housing that transforms into a second form as a variety of items that can be equipped on the character, a toy with a more three-dimensional feel can be provided.

[0173] Additionally, it has the advantage of increasing the fun of play by allowing the housing to separate through impact and the characters stored in the housing to transform into various shapes.

[0174] In addition, the fun of playing cards can be further increased by using them as game pieces by matching randomly presented card assemblies with detachable toys corresponding to images printed on the card assemblies.

[0175] As described above, although the present invention has been described with reference to preferred embodiments, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that the present invention can be variously modified and changed within the scope and spirit of the present invention as set forth in the claims below.

[0176] In addition, the drawing numbers described in the patent claims of the present invention are not limited thereto and are described only for the sake of clarity and convenience of explanation, and in the process of explaining the embodiments, the thickness of lines or the size of components depicted in the drawings may be exaggerated for the sake of clarity and convenience of explanation.

[0177] In addition, the terms described above are terms defined in consideration of their functions in the present invention, and may vary depending on the intention or custom of the user or operator. Therefore, the interpretation of these terms should be based on the contents throughout this specification.

[0178] In addition, even if not explicitly illustrated or described, it is obvious that a person having ordinary skill in the art to which the present invention pertains can make various modifications including the technical ideas of the present invention from the description of the present invention, and this still falls within the scope of the present invention.

[0179] In addition, the above embodiments described with reference to the attached drawings are described for the purpose of explaining the present invention, and the scope of the present invention is not limited to these embodiments.
