Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to a shape-changing toy that is formed to be able to change its shape, and whose outer surface is constructed by fitting a block element to the outer surface.

Conventionally, block toys, which are made by combining and bonding a large number of small block elements to form a cohesive block body such as a vehicle, are unsatisfactory because, due to their structure, if they are handled roughly, the bonds can come undone even by a small force, making them easy to disassemble. I didn't get to play as much as I could.

The present invention has been made in view of the above-mentioned viewpoints, and in particular, by separately forming the frame structure base whose shape changes and the block elements constituting the external appearance, it is strong and has a good finish, and is easy to assemble. The purpose is to propose a shape-changing toy that can provide fun.

Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.

In the figure, reference numeral A indicates a shape-changing toy according to the present invention. This shape-changing toy A has a skeleton structure base B

In this case, the fitting convex portions 12, 12... and the fitting protrusions 21, 21... are connected to the side wall 11 of the other block element and the cylindrical baffle walls 15, 15... or between the baffle walls 15, 15... By fitting the formed fitting receiving portions 14, the block elements 2, 2', 3, 3', 4, 4', 5, . . . can be reliably connected and stacked. These block elements 2, 2', 3, 3', 4, 4', 5...
The basic mold is formed by standing up the mold, but it is not limited to this, and for example, it can be of any shape as long as it has a fitting convex part and a cylindrical baffle wall. good.

Next, a method of assembling the shape-changing toy A having the above structure will be explained. First, when enjoying play as a robot toy, a frame structure B is constructed of blocks 20, 20, etc., as shown in FIGS. 1 and 2.
Block elements 2, 2', 3, 3', 4, 4',
5... should be fitted.

That is, the fitting hole 2 in the center of the upper surface of the chest 20a
3 is fitted with a support shaft 26 provided on the head 22, and the upper arm portion 20 is fitted into the fitting holes 24, 24 at the upper portions of both sides.
Support shaft 2 provided at shoulder joints 27, 27 of d, 20d
Support shafts 30, 30 provided at the waist joints 29, 29 of the upper thighs 20b, 20b are rotatably fitted into the fitting holes 8, 28 and the lower fitting holes 25, 25, respectively. And the elbow joints 32, 3 of the upper arms 20d, 20d.
The lower arm portion 20 is inserted into the fitting holes 31, 31 formed in the lower arm portion 20.
The supporting shafts 34, 34 provided on the elbow joints 33, 33 of the upper thighs 20b, 20e are rotatably fitted, and the fitting holes 35 are formed in the knee joints 37, 37 of the upper thighs 20b, 20b. 35 has lower leg parts 20c, 20
The support shafts 36, 36 provided on the knee joints 38, 38 of c can be rotatably fitted. In this way, the skeleton structure A of the robot can be formed.

Next, block 2 constituting the above-mentioned frame structure B
The various block elements 2, 2', 3, 3', 4, 4', 5... are fitted into the plurality of fitting protrusions 21, 21, 21... integrally formed on the outer surfaces of the blocks 0, 20, 20... By combining them, a robot toy A shown in FIG. 2 is formed.

Next, when changing the form of the robot toy A into a toy car, first, the block elements 2, 2', 3, 3', 4, 4', 5...
The frame structure B can be changed as shown in FIG. 3, and a block element can be fitted to the outer surface of the frame structure as shown in FIG.

That is, the support shafts 41, 41 of the separately provided rear wheels 40, 40 are fitted into the fitting holes 24, 24 on both upper sides of the chest 20a, and the fitting holes 24, 24 on the lower side are fitted.
5 and 25 are the upper thighs 20b and 20b's hip joints 2;
The support shafts 30, 30 provided at 9, 29 are fitted. Then, the knee joint 37 of the upper thighs 20b, 20b,
The support shafts 43, 43 of front wheels 42, 42 provided separately are fitted into the fitting holes 35, 35 formed in the knee joints 37, 37, and the fitting holes 42, 43 provided near the back surfaces of the knee joints 37, 42 are fitted with support shafts 43, 43 provided on the bonnet member 44, and the chest 20
Foot portions 45, 45 integrally formed on the lower leg portions 20c, 20c between the fitting convex portions 21, 21 near the rear of a.
The chassis is formed by firmly fitting the tips of the two. This allows it to be transformed into a frame structure for an automobile.

Next, various block elements 2, 2', 3, 3', 4, 4', 5
The toy car A shown in FIG. 4 is formed by fitting the parts into an appropriate shape.

As mentioned above, the shape-changing toy A includes a frame structure that changes shape, and block elements 2, 2' of various shapes that fit into the fitting protrusions 21, 21, etc. protruding from the outer surface of the frame structure. ,3,3',4,4',5
Because it is composed of ..., the frame structure is strong in a modified form such as a robot or a car. Therefore, even if handled roughly, the various parts of the robot are difficult to untie and disassemble, so you can play with the robot or car, unlike simply playing with building blocks. In addition, by fitting small block elements to the outer surface of the frame structure, the finish of the frame structure is improved, and the toy looks like a conventional building block toy, but is composed only of block elements. It looks like it was.

In addition, in the above example, the shape-changing toy A
The toy can change its form into both a robot toy and a car toy, but is not limited to this; for example, it may be configured to change its form from a robot toy to a robot toy, or from a robot toy to a monster toy. .

As explained in detail above, the shape-changing toy according to the present invention is composed of a skeleton structure that changes shape and block elements of various shapes that are fitted into fitting protrusions protruding from the outer surface of this skeleton structure. Because of this, the skeleton structure in modified forms such as robots or automobiles is strong. Therefore, even if handled roughly, the various parts of the robot are difficult to untie and disassemble, so you can play with the robot or car, unlike just playing with building blocks. In addition, by fitting small block elements to the outer surface of the frame structure, the finish of the frame structure is improved, and the toy looks like a conventional building block toy, but is composed only of block elements. Therefore, it is possible to enjoy the fun of assembling the toys, similar to that of building block toys.
