Transformable toy
The present invention provides a transformable toy of which a figure is transformed between a doll robot toy and a four-legged walking robot toy with rear-leg sections thereof of a more natural shape. One of a pair of leg sections 11 of the doll robot toy 1 is provided with a knee-position connecting mechanism 114 for connecting a thigh section 111 and a shin section 112 and an ankle-position connecting mechanism 115 for connecting the shin section 112 and a foot section 113 . The knee-position connecting mechanism 114 includes a connecting link 118 connected to both of the thigh section 111 and the shin section 112 respectively with turning pairs 116 and 117 . The ankle-position connecting mechanism 115 is so constructed as to connect the shin section 112 and the foot section 113 with a turning pair 119 . Then, the shin section 112 is length-adjustably constructed so that it can become long in a figure of the doll robot toy and become short in a figure of the four-legged walking robot toy.
1. A transformable toy, a figure of which is transformed between a doll robot toy and a four-legged walking robot toy,
said doll robot toy comprising:
a pair of arm sections, and
a pair of leg sections, each of the leg sections including:
a thigh section,
a shin section,
a foot section,
a knee-position connecting mechanism for connecting said thigh section to said shin section,
said knee-position connecting mechanism including a connecting link connected to said thigh section and said shin section respectively with turning pairs, and
an ankle-position connecting mechanism for connecting said shin section to said foot section,
said ankle-position connecting mechanism being so constructed as to connect said shin section and said foot section with a turning pair, and
said four-legged walking robot toy comprising:
a pair of foreleg sections and a pair of rear-leg sections,
wherein said pair of arm sections of said doll robot toy are turned into said pair of foreleg sections of said four-legged walking robot toy, and said pair of leg sections of said doll robot toy are turned into said pair of rear-leg sections of said four-legged walking robot toy; and
said shin section is constructed so that a length thereof can be adjusted.
2. The transformable toy as defined in claim 1 , wherein said shin section comprises a first section connected to said connecting link, a second section connected to said foot section, and a slidably connecting mechanism for slidably connecting said first section and said second section so that the first and second sections may slide close to and apart from each other.
3. The transformable toy as defined in claim 1 , wherein said foot section comprises a foot-claw section, a foot base section, and a movably connecting mechanism for movably connecting said foot-claw section to said foot base section so that said foot-claw section can move with respect to said foot base section.
4. The transformable toy as defined in claim 3 , wherein said movably connecting mechanism includes a connecting link connected to said foot-claw section and said foot base section respectively with turning pairs.
5. The transformable toy as defined in claim 1 , wherein a head base section of said four-legged walking robot toy is movably connected to said body section of said doll robot toy via a pivotally connecting mechanism so that said head base section can move between a front position and an upper position of said body section of said doll robot toy; and
a head section of said doll robot toy is so constructed as to be received in said head base section of said four-legged walking robot toy so that said head section of said doll robot toy may constitute a part of said head base section of said four-legged walking robot toy when said head base section of said four-legged walking robot toy is placed in said upper position.
6. The transformable toy as defined in claim 4 , wherein said head section of said doll robot toy is provided with a pair of projections protruding upward, and is rotatably connected to said body section so that said head section can be rotated at least backward; and
in a figure of said four-legged walking toy, said head section of said doll robot toy is adopted to be rotated backward so that said pair of projections may constitute ear sections or horn sections of said four-legged walking robot toy.
7. The transformable toy as defined in claim 1 , wherein each of the arm sections of said doll robot toy includes an upper arm section, a lower arm section, a hand section, and a connecting section for connecting said lower arm section to said hand section,
said connecting section having a rotatable joint structure provided with a rotating member that rotates, with respect to said lower arm section and said hand section, around a centerline extending in a direction from said lower arm section to said hand section, and
said rotating member having a claw member mounted thereon, which serves as a weapon in a figure of said doll robot toy, and serves as a claw provided at said foreleg section in a figure of said four-legged walking robot toy.
