Description

[Detailed description of the invention] (Industrial application field) This invention relates to a shape-changing toy.

(Prior Art) Various shape-changing toys have recently been implemented. Among this type of shape-changing toys, the most unexpected and drastic shape change is the one that changes a stick-like object into another shape, but no such shape-changing toy has ever been proposed.

(Objective of the Invention) The object of the present invention is to propose a shape-changing toy that changes shape from a rod-like body to a robot-like shape.

(Summary of the Invention) That is, the shape-changing toy according to the present invention is characterized by comprising a first member, a second member, and a third member each having a rod shape and having the following configuration.

(a) A second member is connected to both ends of the first member via a hinge, and a pair of third members are rotatably attached to approximately the center of the first member. (b) A storage space for the first and second members is provided in the third member. (c) The third member is connected to the base member near the first member in the intermediate part. (d) When the first and second members are stored in the storage space of the third member, they become rod-shaped, and when expanded, the first member has a shoulder part, the second member The third member that is closer to the first member is the arm part, the third member that is closer to the first member is the torso part, and the telescopic members that extend and contract with respect to the base member are the leg parts that change into a robot-like form (implementation). Example) Hereinafter, one embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

In the figure, the toy main body of the shape-changing toy includes a rod-shaped first member 10 and a rod-shaped first member 10.
A second member 2 connected via a hinge to both ends of the
0, 20, and a pair of third members 3 rotatably attached to approximately the center of the first member 10, respectively.
0.30.

Hinge engagement grooves 11, 11 for the second member are formed in the shape of elongated holes at both ends of the first member 10, and a hinge engagement groove 12 for the third member is formed in the center. There is.

The second members 20, 20 have a hollow part, and a hinge member 22, in which hinges 21, 21 are provided in the hollow part,
22 can be freely retracted from the hollow part 2.
Hand portions 23, 23 are formed on the other side of 1, 21.

The third members 30, 30 each include a base member 31 and an elastic member 32. Base member 31
At one end there is a block portion 39a as shown in FIG.
A hinge 39 is provided on the block portion 39a, and the hinge 39 is slidably provided in the hinge receiving groove 12 at the center of the first member 10. Further, on the outer side of the base member 31, there is a storage space S in which the first member 10 and the second member 20 can be stored.
is formed. As a result, the base member 31 becomes rotatable via the hinge 39, and when the two base members 31, 31 form a 180° angle and form a straight line, the storage space of the base members 31, 31 becomes free. A first member 10 and a second member 20 are housed in the section S, respectively.

Next, the expandable member 32 is composed of a shaft body 33 pivotally attached to the end of the base member 31 and a cylindrical member 34 that fits into the shaft body 33. A ballpoint pen is built into the shaft body 33, and a pen tip 36 protrudes from the tip. Both members 33 and 34 have engaging protrusions so that the shaft body 33 and the cylindrical member 34 engage with each other when the cylindrical member 34 comes out of the shaft body 33 by a predetermined length to prevent the shaft body 33 and the cylindrical member 34 from coming off. Portions 37a and 37b are formed. Further, an opening 38 is formed at the end of the cylindrical member 34, and a foot member 35 is pivotally mounted inside the opening 38.

Since the toy body is constructed as described above,
The third members 30, 30 are formed into a bifurcated shape as shown in FIG. 1, and the third member 30 on the right side in the figure
When the extensible member 34 is contracted and brought into contact with the end of the base member 31, the pen shafts 36, 36 of the ballpoint pen protrude from the two third members 30, 30. Therefore, by centering the tip of one pen shaft 36 and running the other pen shaft 36 around it, the toy body functions as a compass.

Next, the toy main body having the above structure changes into a ballpoint pen-like form and a robot-like form. That is,
The second member 20 is butted against the end of the first member 10 to form a rod shape, while the cylindrical member 34 of the third member 30 is fitted to the shaft body 33 to form a base member 31 and an elastic member 32. is made into a rod shape, and then the third members 30, 30
open to the maximum rotation angle of 180°. At this time, the first member 10 and the second member are placed in the storage space S provided in the base members 31, 31 of the third members 30, 30.
The member 20 is stored, and the toy body changes into a rod-shaped toy A as shown in FIG. In this state, the third
Pen shafts 36, 36 protrude from both ends of the members 30, 30. Therefore, it can also be used as a ballpoint pen. You can use it as a two-color ballpoint pen by changing the color of the ink on both ends.

Reference numerals 40 and 50 indicate cap members attached to both ends of the rod-shaped toy body, respectively.
The cap member 40 is a pair of members 4 having a U-shaped cross section.
1 and 41 are screwed together, and can be opened and closed centering around the screwed part 42. When both members 41, 41 are closed,
As shown in the figure, it takes on the shape of a cap, and when opened, it takes on the shape of a small robot object imitating a missile, as shown in Figure 5. At this time, the engaging portions 43, 43 are provided at opposing positions.

The cap member 50 includes a clip member 52 provided on one side of a cap member main body 51 and a presser piece 54 provided on the opposite side, and a robot-shaped face portion 53 is formed at the tip of the clip member 52. There is.

Since the rod-shaped toy A having the above structure functions as a ballpoint pen, by attaching the cap members 40 and 50, it can be attached to a pocket or carried in a case or the like and used as a writing instrument.

Next, as shown in FIG. 4, the rod-shaped toy A is
It can be changed into the form of robot toy B. That is, the rod-shaped toy A is unfolded in the opposite manner to the above to change it into the form shown in FIG. , the cylindrical member 3
The foot member 35 is rotated and pulled out from the opening 38 of No.4. Furthermore, a cap member 5 is provided over the adjacent portions of the base members 31, 31 of the first member 10 and the third member.
0 is engaged. At this time, the first member 10 may be held between both sides by the clip member 51 and the holding piece 54 of the cap member 50. Furthermore, the third
Engagement recesses 31a, 31a are formed on the back sides of the base members 31, 31 of the members 30, 30, and the cap member 40 is attached by engaging the engagement parts 43, 43 in the engagement recesses 31a, 31a. At the same time, the third
This is used to prevent the members 30, 30 from opening.

Thereby, the first member 10 is a shoulder part, the second members 20, 20 are arm parts, and the base member 3 of the third member is
Reference numerals 1 and 31 constitute the torso, telescopic members 32 and 32 constitute the legs, a cap member 50 constitutes the head, and a cap member 40 constitutes an accessory to be carried on the back, forming a robot toy B.

In the above illustrated example, the cap member 5
0 is configured as a head in a robot-like form, but the configuration is not necessarily limited to this configuration, and the head may be formed directly or retractably in the center of the first member 10. . In this case, a robot-like shape can be obtained using only the toy body.

(Effects) As explained in detail above, according to the present invention, it is possible to change the shape from a simple rod-like shape to a robot-like shape, so the change in shape is very unexpected, and you can enjoy the process of change that has never been seen before. be able to.
