Description

[Detailed description of the invention] The present invention relates to a rail robot toy.

Conventional robot toys are often played with by moving their limbs or changing their shape. In response to this, recently, robot toys have been proposed that have a robot-like shape and can be combined with other robot toys so that the overall shape can be changed by the combination.

This invention is an extension of the idea of this combination-type robot toy, and in particular proposes a rail robot toy that can construct a rail by combining and connecting other robot toys with the same configuration and connecting pieces. The purpose is to

An example of an embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.

In the figure, symbol A indicates a robot toy. This robot toy A has arm parts 3, 3 connected to both sides of a body 2 having a head 1 protruding from the upper part thereof via hinge parts 10, 10 so as to be rotatable back and forth, and both leg parts 4, 4 to the hinge parts 10, 10 (fourth
It is rotatably connected back and forth through the
Parallel rail sections 5a, 5a and 5b, 5b are provided at equal intervals along the longitudinal direction on both front sides of the body section 2 and on the front surfaces of both leg sections 4, 4, respectively. The face is formed, and the whole body is shaped like a robot. Further, the upper end and the lower end of the robot toy A have an engaging portion P1 and an engaging receiving portion Q, respectively, which are sized to engage with each other.
1 is formed. That is, the head 1 of the robot toy A has a cylindrical shape as the engaging part P1, and on the other hand, the center part of the bottom surface of the legs 4, 4 engages with the engaging part P1 (head 1). Engagement receiving portions Q1 (concave portions) of matching sizes are formed. In addition,
Engaging portions p, p and engagement receiving portions q, q for preventing rotation are formed on opposite sides of the engaging portion P1 and the engaging receiving portion Q1, respectively. Similarly, a convex portion P and a concave portion Q, which are sized to fit into each other, are formed on both sides and other appropriate parts of the outer surface of the robot toy A. Further, a concave portion 11 is formed between both shoulders of the robot toy A, and this concave portion 11
is formed to be approximately equal to the width of the outer end portions of both leg portions 4, 4 which are aligned.

It goes without saying that the rail portion may be formed on the back side of the robot toy A.

Next, how the robot toy A having the above structure is used will be explained.

First, since the robot toy A has both arms 3, 3 and both legs 4, 4 that are freely rotatable back and forth, it can be bent around the hinge 10, allowing normal robot play. Moreover, since the robot toy A is formed with a convex part P and a concave part Q that are sized to fit into each other, the robot toy A can be engaged with these convex parts P and change its form into various shapes depending on the combination. You can play with it.

Next, in the robot toy A, parallel rail sections 5a, 5a and 5b, 5b are provided at equal intervals along the longitudinal direction on both front sides of the body section 2 and on the front surfaces of both leg sections 4, 4. Therefore, when both leg parts 4, 4 are aligned straight, the above-mentioned rail parts 5a, 5
a, 5b, 5b may constitute a series of parallel rails. Therefore, as shown in FIG.
By engaging with the upper end engaging portion P1 of the robot toy A, A1, the robot toys A and A1 are engaged in the longitudinal direction and connected, and another robot toy can also be connected in the same manner. As a result, each rail section 5
a, 5a, 5b, 5b... are also connected to construct a long rail. In addition, when connecting the robot toys A in the longitudinal direction in this way, at the same time, the locking engagement parts p, p of the engagement part P1 of one robot toy are
and the anti-rotation engagement receiving portions q, q of the engagement receiving portion Q1 of the other robot toy engage with each other, so that when the two robot toys are connected, the robot toy will not rotate from side to side. . Furthermore, when the robot toys are connected, the legs 4, 4 of the other robot toy are engaged in the concave portion 11 of the shoulder of one robot toy, so that the mutually connected robot toys are not displaced from side to side. and is stably bound. Therefore, the constructed rail can also be straight and continuous.

Furthermore, on both sides of the robot toy A, there are convex portions P.
and a recess Q are formed, so by engaging these with the protrusion P and recess Q on the side of another robot toy, it is possible to connect multiple robot toys continuously in the longitudinal direction as well as in the lateral direction. It can also be combined with
As a result, as shown in Fig. 3, the double track rails 5, 5,
It is possible to construct multi-track rails, etc.

As described above, by engaging multiple robot toys in the longitudinal direction to construct a continuous long rail, other toys can be made to run or slide using this rail. Therefore, for example, these robots can be used as a rail construction army, and by disassembling and assembling them, it is possible to perform interesting games that have not been seen before, and the variety of games can be expanded.

Next, 6 indicates a connecting piece. This connecting piece 6 has curved parallel rail portions 5c, 5c on its outer surface.
are parts 5a, 5a and 5b, 5 of robot toy A.
engaging parts P1, p, p and engaging receiving parts Q1, q, q, which are formed at equal intervals with b and are the same as those of robot toy A.
The rail parts 5c, 5c are formed in the same manner as the engaging part P and the engaging receiving part Q of the robot toy A. Therefore, as shown in FIG. 2, by connecting the engaging recess Q1 of the connecting piece 6 and the engaging part P of the robot toy A, the rail parts 5a, 5a and 5c, 5c are connected. continuous, which allows the rail to curve. Further, another connecting piece may be connected to the connecting piece 6, or a robot toy may be connected to the connecting piece 6, and rails with various bending states can be constructed by combining these pieces.

In addition, it is also possible to construct a three-dimensional rail such as an iron bridge by three-dimensionally connecting a plurality of robot toys A as shown in FIG. In this case, the bridge portion 7 includes a plurality of robot toys A, A,
All you have to do is connect A……longitudinally, and the pier part 8
is another robot toy A, A, A... with the same configuration.
... are connected, bent appropriately according to the height, and the distal end engaging portion P1 is engaged with the engaging receiving portion Q formed on the side opposite to the rail portion of the robot toy A that constitutes the bridge portion 7. Just configure it.

Note that the rail portions of the robot toy A are not necessarily limited to those provided on the body portion 2 and the leg portions 4, 4 as in the example illustrated above. For example, as shown in FIG.
, another rail part 5e, 5 is attached to the front surface of both leg parts 4, 4.
e, and the robot toy A may be in a straight state so that the rail parts 5d, 5d and 5e, 5e form a continuous rail, or,
As shown by dotted lines in the figure, rails 5f and 5g may be formed on the side surfaces of one or both arm sections 3 and both leg sections 4. Particularly in the case of the latter example, by arranging the robot toys A side by side, it can be used as a monorail, and by setting an angle to the arm part 3 and leg part 4, the rail parts 5f and 5g are curved and continuous.

Further, in the above illustrated examples, the rail portion is formed in a convex strip shape, but the rail portion may also be formed in a concave strip shape.

Further, one robot toy A and another robot toy connected thereto may be of the type that engages and connects the engaging portion and the engaging receiving portion to each other, and as shown in the example shown above, The engagement is not limited to.
For example, as shown in FIG. 6, the width of the inner ends of the arms 3, 3 and the width of the outer ends of the legs 4, 4 of the robot toy B, which has the same structure as the robot toy described above, are Both arm parts 3, 3 are set almost equally.
Engagement portions P2, P2 are formed protruding inside the tip of the robot, and engagement receiving groove portions Q2, Q2 are formed on the outer surfaces of both legs to engage with the engagement portions P2, P2. Both arms 3, 3 of toy B are rotated upward, and both legs 4, 4 of another robot toy B1 having the same configuration are inserted between these arms 3, 3, and then both arms 3, 3 are rotated upward. 3, 3 engaging part P
2, P2 is engaged in the engagement receiving grooves Q2, Q2 of both leg parts 4, 4, thereby both robot toys B and B
