Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Field of Industrial Application] The present invention relates to a toy that takes the form of a car such as a mini car or sports car when folded, and that can be separated and assembled into a robot form. .

[Prior Art] Building blocks and block members are generally known as figurative toys that can be formed into different shapes by assembling regular parts, but the shapes are relatively monotonous, lack a sense of realism, and are not appealing to children. As a result, they are unable to cause this problem and become frustrated in a short period of time. Kumiki has also been known as a block toy with puzzle-like elements, but since it can only be formed into a single shape, it is complicated to combine, which limits its playability for young children. In particular, if the structure is complicated so that children can enjoy uniqueness, not only will it be difficult for young children to handle it and they will not be interested in it, but the target age group will also be limited, and there will be a limit to how much fun it can be because it will not be widely used as a play. Ta.

The present invention solves these conventional problems and enables reversible transformation between a realistic car form and a robot form when folded and unfolded, and has a simple configuration. The object of the present invention is to provide an easy-to-handle toy that significantly changes its appearance, is novel and unexpected, and greatly increases the interest of young children.

Another object of the present invention is to significantly expand the target age group by adding elements of block play and relatively simple puzzle-like elements, and to make it fun by being reversible and allowing the robot's form to change in a variety of ways. To provide a playable deformable toy in a simple and inexpensive form.

[Means for Solving the Problems] The present invention provides an automobile robot toy that can take the form of a car and a robot when folded and unfolded. A bonnet 30 is attached to the front body 35 so as to be removably attached to the front body 35 and has a robot leg 32 on the inside. ,3
1 and a canopy 38, a robot face part 18 is provided inside the bonnet 30 to serve as a robot head, and the door 31 is used as a robot shoulder part to attach and detach the robot arm part 32. This is a disassembleable car robot toy characterized by a structure on the back of the robot.

〔Example〕

To explain one embodiment in which the present invention is applied to a minicar, in FIGS. 1 to 3, each part constituting the form of a car includes a front body 35 with detachable front wheels, a bonnet 30, and doors on both sides. 31 and canopy 38, and the rear vehicle body 33 on which the rear wheels are removably provided are made up of independent structural members, and each part has a separation surface that can be divided into parts, and there are connection parts, such as recesses 42, that can be separated from each other. , protrusion 4
A fitting portion or a fitting hole having a diameter of 0.0, 41, and a protruding boss 39 that is fitted into and held in the fitting hole are provided in each portion relative to each other.

Further, the canopy 38 has a fitting convex portion 3 on the inner side.
9 and 40 are formed, and the convex portions are configured to fit into recesses 42 provided in the vehicle body 35 to form a robot head and a robot shoulder. In this case, the robot arm 32 is pivotally attached to the inside of the door 31, and each boss is fitted into a fitting hole 42 in the front vehicle body 35, so that it can be adapted to both an automobile form and a robot form. be.

Each of these parts has a decorative member 44 as one of the attached parts so that it can be fitted into the fitting hole 42 of the front body 35 or the fitting hole of other parts through a boss, so that it can be used in the form of an automobile or a robot. It is designed to increase the sense of realism. In this case, it is considered that the decorative member 44 can be used in both forms, and the connecting part and the fitting hole formed in each part may be used together or exclusively.

Furthermore, the front body 35 and the rear body 33 have external appearances that allow them to be used in both forms, such as an automobile form and a robot form. A dedicated appearance can also be formed on one side or the other. Furthermore, the uneven surface that becomes the connecting part can be freely selected to fit in different directions like the recess 42 formed in the front vehicle body 35, or in the same direction, and the formation of bosses and fitting holes. can also be selected and provided as appropriate.

Each of the above-mentioned parts is made of a flexible material such as rubber or synthetic resin so that each part is an independent block, and is provided with at least one connecting part so that each part can be separated or combined and assembled.

In the figure, 32 is a robot arm attached as an independent accessory, or a part of the vehicle body or chassis is provided as a fitting member or housing member, and is configured to be used in both forms or a dedicated form.
It is formed of an integral or split connecting member and is selectively and removably connected to the member that will become the robot body.

Constructed in this way, each divided member is
It can be combined into the car form shown in the figure, each part can be separated from the car form and combined and converted into the robot form shown in Fig. 1, and it can also be converted back into a robot car with puzzle-like elements. It is something that can be done.

In this embodiment, a hinge part, for example, a pair of arms, is formed such that a connecting part in a selected part of each part is pivotably displaceable, a boss or a fitting hole is provided in this, and a fitting hole corresponding to the hinge part is formed. Or, it includes a part that is connected by clamping another member provided with a boss, and is held in a separable and rotatable manner.
is provided as a robot head, the door 31 is used as a robot shoulder, the robot arm 32 is attached and detached, and the rear body 33 is used as a robot foot so that the robot leg 34 can be installed internally, and necessary relay members (not shown) are provided. The front vehicle body 35 is connected via the

In the figure, 36 and 37 are stoppers, 43 is a hinge receiving portion, and 44 is a decorative member.

In addition, in the embodiment described above, it is also possible to add means and structures for maintaining the connected state of each part and for strengthening shape retention, and in addition to maintaining the standing shape of the legs by separating the side body members. It may be formed integrally and separately provided with an erecting support. Further, when the attachment/detachment mechanism of each part is formed by uneven parts, it is preferable to form a locking surface that can be easily inserted in the connection direction and cannot be removed in the removal direction unless a certain force is exceeded.

In any case, during car body and robot construction, there is a locking surface that maintains shape retention when one variation is completed, a stopper surface that restricts the change in the ideal shape when the shape changes, and a guide that smoothes the change. It is convenient to attach surfaces with convex, concave, or inclined surfaces.

In addition to attaching a simple connecting member as the convex-concave fitting part, depending on the configuration, it is also possible to use structural members from the vehicle body or the robot as a fitting member, and the arrangement of the convex part and the concave part are relatively selectively provided at the connecting portion.

The present invention provides an automobile robot toy that can take the form of a car and a robot when folded and unfolded, in which the front body with the front wheels can be bent to the rear body with the rear wheels by means of connecting rods that serve as robot legs. a bonnet removably provided on the front vehicle body, a robot leg portion on the inside, a pair of doors and a canopy extending over the rear vehicle body, and a robot face portion on the inside of the bonnet. By making the robot head a robot head, using the door as a robot shoulder, attaching and detaching the robot arm, and configuring the canopy on the back of the robot, the robot takes on the form of a toy car when folded, but when unfolded it becomes a robot. Each part corresponds to the appearance of each part of the wheel, so when folded, it can be freely changed from a robot toy to a car toy, and vice versa. It can be changed, and the front and rear bodies are connected by a connecting part, making it an interesting and unexpected toy.Since each part is made up of blocks, it has a puzzle-like element. Not only can the target age group be greatly expanded, but it is also easy to handle, and you can enjoy the large, realistic shapes and movements of both cars and robots, develop intellectual abilities when changing operations, and expand the way you play. It can contribute to children's training, greatly increase the interest of young children, and not only be economical but also have many of the effects desired as a toy.
