The arm fixing member 291 is a rod-shaped body that is housed in the foot body 241 and is slidable in the axial direction, one end of the arm fixing member 291 protrudes from the rear end surface of the foot body 241 and engages with the barrel fixing projection 267, and the other end thereof can protrude from the foot body 241 toward the toe 243, and the arm fixing member 291 is biased in the direction of the rear end surface of the foot body 241 by an auxiliary locking releasing elastic member housed in the foot body 241, and when the barrel fixing projection 267 is engaged with one end of the arm fixing member 291, the other end thereof slightly protrudes toward the toe 243 to lock the tip end of the foot claw 245, and when the arm fixing member 291 is disengaged from the barrel fixing projection 267, the tip end protruding toward the toe 243 is housed by the elongation force of the auxiliary locking releasing elastic member to release the locking of the foot claw 245.

When the wing support arm 266 and the trunk wing 231 are raised relative to the trunk part 211 so as to move in the direction of the head part 221, the opening prevention protrusion 235 provided on the back surface of the trunk wing 231 is released from the rear wing 253 by the raising of the trunk wing 231, and the trunk wing 231 rotates about the lower end as the connection point with the top end of the wing support arm 266 and opens the upper end to the left and right.

Then, the engagement between the trunk fixing projection 267 and the arm fixing member 291 is released, and the arm fixing member 291 retracts the distal end slightly protruding toward the toe portion 243 by the auxiliary locking releasing elastic member, so that the distal end of the claw portion 245 is disengaged from the arm fixing member 291, and the claw portion 245 protrudes forward from the toe portion 243 so as to rotate the toe forward.

Accordingly, the first shape 1 is a three-dimensional second shape 2 shown in fig. 6 or 18, which is obtained by vertically transforming the first shape 1 into a three-dimensional first shape 1, in which the head 221 and the mouth 227 are positioned on a plane so that the trunk wing 231 accommodating the front wing 237 is positioned on the left and right of the head 221, on an extension line of the trunk portion 211 positioned between the toe portion 243 and the foot body portion 241, which are foot portions.

As shown in fig. 19, the head 221 includes a slide member 261 constituting a rotation applying mechanism movable in the vertical direction of the trunk portion 211.

The slide member 261 constitutes a rotation imparting mechanism together with the rack 281, the pinion 285, and the elastic member for locking release 265, the slide member 261 is formed in a rectangular frame shape, the slide member 261 has wing support arms 266 from both sides of the upper side to the outside and the wing support arms 266 are provided to extend to the outside of the trunk portion 211, the base portion of the trunk wing portion 231 is supported at the tip end of the wing support arms 266 via a rotation shaft having the elastic member for rotation, and a trunk portion fixing projection 267 projecting downward from the tip end of the wing support arms 266 is provided.

Therefore, when an operation is performed from the 2 nd shape shown in fig. 6 or the like to fold the trunk portion 211 downward rearward so that the trunk portion 211 lies down in parallel with the foot portion and to fold the mouth portion 227 forward so that the mouth portion 227 is overlapped on the head portion 221, an operation is performed to fold the mouth portion 227 and the head portion 221 in parallel with the foot main portion 241 and the rear wing portion 253 so as to be positioned at the extended position of the trunk portion 211, an operation is performed to fold the front wing portion 237 so as to house the front wing portion 237 in the trunk wing portions 231 from the left and right, and to fold the trunk wing portion 231 so that the left and right wing portions 231 are closed in parallel from the left and right sides with the head portion 221 interposed therebetween, the trunk wing portion 231 is moved in the direction of the foot main portion 241, the slide member 261 is pressed in the direction of the tail portion 251 as a lower side by the wing support arm 266, and the engagement piece 269 is engaged with the tip end of the engagement member by the elastic member 265 for releasing the locking is strongly compressed, when the above operation is performed, the head fixing projection 233 provided inside the main wing 231 is engaged with the upper end of the mouth 227 to prevent the mouth 227 from being opened from the head 221, and the head 221 can be prevented from rotating forward with respect to the trunk 211.

At this time, the body fixing projection 267 provided at the tip end of the wing support arm 266 is engaged with the arm fixing member 291 provided on the foot body 241 to prevent the body 211 from rising from the foot portion, the wing tip fixing projection 247 of the foot body 241 maintains the state in which the front wing 237 is accommodated in the body wing 231, the opening preventing projection 235 of the body wing 231 is positioned inside the rear wing 253 to prevent the body wing 231 from being opened, and the engaging piece 269 of the slide member 261 is engaged with the engaging member 255, so that the 1 st shape of the state of the folded character component can be maintained.

Further, the toe portion 243 is accommodated and the toe portion 245 is rotated, and the distal end of the toe portion 245 is engaged with the arm fixing member 291 protruding from the foot body portion 241 toward the toe portion 243, whereby the shape 1 shown in fig. 2 and the like can be returned.

In this way, the deformation toy 200 having a shape in which the wings are spread in the right and left directions can be set to the 1 st shape in a substantially flat plate shape in which the posture of the animal having the wings is compressed in the up and down direction, that is, the body portion 211 is rotated in the backward direction to rotate the head portion 221, and then the mouth portion 227 is folded so that the mouth portion 227 is rotated in the forward direction, the right and left front wing portions 237 are folded so as to be accommodated in the right and left body wing portions 231 from the right and left, the right and left body wing portions 231 accommodating the front wing portions 237 are rotated in the backward direction to fold the body wing portions 231 from the right and left to the side of the head portion 221, and the body wing portions 231 are pushed in the direction of the feet 241, and the body portion 245 is rotated in the backward direction before and after the pushing operation of the wing portions 231 is performed, so that the 1 st shape can be set.

In addition, since the folding operation does not damage the folded character components, and the character components are reliably rotated to predetermined positions against the elastic force of the elastic rotating member to engage with each other, a skilled technique is required for quick folding.

When the lock release button is pressed with a finger or the like to deform the shape from the 1 st shape to the 2 nd shape, the pinion 285 is rotated via the acceleration gear 283 by the movement of the rack 281 by the rising of the slide member 261, the wheel disc 289 attached to the wheel disc shaft 287 is rapidly rotated, and the length of the rack 281 is set to a configuration in which the pinion of the acceleration gear 283 is released when the slide member 261 rises, so that the engagement between the rack 281 and the acceleration gear 283 is disengaged to constitute a rotation maintaining mechanism for continuing the rotation of the wheel disc 289, and after the wheel disc 289 is continuously rotated by the rotation maintaining mechanism, the rotation of the wheel disc 289 is stopped at a non-position.

Furthermore, the trunk wing portions 231 and the front wing portions 237 folded in bilateral symmetry can be unfolded to a large extent in the left-right direction, and surprise due to a large change can be brought about.

Further, not limited to the case where the rack 281 and the pinion 285 are meshed with each other via the acceleration gear 283 serving as an acceleration member, there may be a case where the acceleration gear 283 serving as an acceleration member is omitted and the rack 281 and the pinion 285 can be directly meshed with each other, or the rack 281 and the pinion 285 are meshed with each other by adjusting the positions of the disk shafts 287 that fix the rack 281 and the pinion 285 using a spur gear as an intermediate gear.

Further, the transformable toy as a member having the wing portions of the trunk wing portion 231 and the front wing portion 237 can be formed into various shapes such as an extinct creature such as a pterosaur, an imaginary bird, an animal having a wing, and the like, in addition to the similar shape to the existing bird.

Accordingly, when the transformable toy 300 is placed on a flat surface such as a base or a desk and the lock release lever of the release operation portion 357 as the locking member is pressed down by a finger or the like, the head locking piece 376 provided at the tip end of the body portion 311 swings via the link mechanism as the locking member assembled to the body portion 311, so that the body portion 311 and the head portion 321 are engaged and disengaged, and as shown in fig. 23, the head portion 321 is separated from the body portion 311 and the head portion 321 is connected to the body portion 311 via the neck member 377.

The neck member 377 is biased forward inside the body 311 by an elastic member for releasing locking, not shown, and both sides of the rear end of the neck member 377 are exposed to the lower surface of the body 311 as foot fixing pieces 378, and the head 321 is released from the body 311, so that the neck member 377 moves forward and is exposed from the front end of the body 311, and the foot fixing pieces 378 move forward and are accommodated inside the body 311, so that the foot 345 is released from the body 311.

The head 321 incorporates a slide member 361 constituting a rotation applying mechanism as described later, the rear end of the slide member 361 is connected to the neck member 377 via a rotation shaft, the head 321 is attached to the neck member 377, and the head 321 moves forward relative to the slide member 361 so that the rear end of the slide member 361 is slightly exposed from the rear end of the head 321.

As a result, the engagement between the head 321 and the body 311 is released, the head 321 and the neck member 377 are advanced relative to the body 311, and the foot fixing piece 378 is accommodated in the body 311, so that the foot 345 is released from the body 311, the lower leg 343 is raised relative to the foot 345 by the rotating elastic member, and the upper leg 341 is raised by the rotating elastic member so as to extend the upper leg 341, and as shown in fig. 24, the posture can be changed to a standing posture in which the legs stand on both feet.

At this time, the head 321 is separated from the barrel 311, the tail 351 having the tip locked by the head 321 is also released, the tail 351 is opened from the barrel 311 by the rotation elastic member, and the tail 353 is also released by the release of the tail 351 and is rotated to the extended position of the tail 351 by the rotation elastic member.

Further, since the head 321 moves forward relative to the slide member 361, and a portion where the head 321 is connected to the neck member 377 which is the rear end of the slide member 361 is exposed to the rear of the head 321, the connection portion between the neck member 377 and the rear end of the slide member 361 becomes free, so that the neck member 377 slightly descends due to its own weight, the head 321 moves forward relative to the slide member 361, the rear end of the lower jaw 325 is separated from the lower surface of the slide member 361, the rear end of the lower jaw 325 is raised, and the distal end of the lower jaw 325 is also lowered due to its own weight, so that the mouth is opened.

The head 321 incorporates a slide member 361 as a rotation applying mechanism, a rack 381, a pinion 385, and an elastic member 365 for releasing engagement, and as shown in fig. 25, the head 321 has a substantially U-shaped slide member 361 having a rear end connected to the neck member 377 via a rotation shaft, elastic members 365 for releasing engagement are provided on both outer sides of the slide member 361 to urge the head 321 forward relative to the slide member 361, and guide walls are provided on the outer sides of the elastic member 365 for releasing engagement to allow the slide member 361 to move only in one of the forward and backward directions relative to the head 321.

Further, a rack 381 is provided inside one longitudinal side of the slide member 361, and an acceleration gear 383 and a pinion 385 fixed to a wheel shaft 387 are provided inside the slide member 361 so as to be rotatable on the head 321, and as shown in fig. 23 and 25, the configuration is such that the pinion of the acceleration gear 383 is separated from the rack 381 when the head 321 is positioned forward, and the rack 381 is engaged with the pinion in a state where the head 321 is retreated and the head 321 is engaged with the body 311.

When the large gear of the acceleration gear 383 is engaged with the small gear 385 fixed to the wheel disk shaft 387 and the engagement state between the head 321 and the body 311 is released and the head 321 is advanced relative to the slide member 361 via the engagement releasing elastic member 365, the small gear 385 is rotated via the acceleration gear 383 via the rack 381, and the wheel disk 389 attached to the wheel disk shaft 387 is rotated.

When the head 321 is pushed in the direction of the body 311 by raising the tip of the head 321 to position the head 321 on the extension line of the body 311 and retracting the head 321 relative to the sliding member 361, the elastic member 365 for releasing locking is contracted to retract the head 321 relative to the sliding member 361, when the head 321 is retracted to a position where the connecting portion between the sliding member 361 and the neck member 377 is accommodated in the head 321, the tip of the sliding member 361 contacts the front wall of the cavity of the head 321 to retract the sliding member 361, the neck member 377, and the head 321 together, and when the rear end of the head 321 is close to the tip of the body 311, the head locking piece 376 engages with the rear end of the head 321 to lock the head 321, and at this time, the foot fixing piece 378 formed behind the neck member 377 is exposed to the lower surface of the body 311 due to the retraction of the neck member 377.

Thus, when the following operation is performed from the 2 nd shape of standing on both feet on a plane as shown in fig. 24, the 1 st shape shown in fig. 3 and the like can be formed: the body part 311 is pushed downward to fold the lower leg part 343 and the upper leg part 341 over the leg part 345, the body part 311 is folded forward to be horizontally pushed over a plane, the engaging projecting piece of the leg part 345 is positioned under the body part 311, the lower jaw part 325 is also closed over a plane to set the head part 321 at an extended position of the body part 311, the tail end part 353 is folded forward to be drawn into the tail end part 351 to overlap the tail end part 351 on the upper surface of the body part 311, and the head part 321 is pushed in the direction of the body part 311 in the shape shown in fig. 23, thereby compressing the elastic member 365 for releasing locking and pushing the sliding member 361 and the neck member 377 in the direction of the body part 311 to engage the head part 321 with the body part 311.

In this way, the two-legged transformable toy 300 can be set to the 1 st shape in a substantially flat plate shape in which the posture of the two-legged animal is compressed in the vertical direction by: the body portion 311 is pushed downward to rotate the lower leg portion 343 forward and downward and the upper leg portion 341 is rotated rearward and downward, the lower leg portion 343 and the upper leg portion 341 are folded downward so as to be superposed on the lower leg portion 343, the body portion 311 is rotated forward to lie between the upper leg portions 341 and the tip portion 353 is rotated forward, and the tail portion 351 is also rotated forward to fold the tip portion 353 and the tail portion 351 and press the head portion 321 into the body portion 311.

In addition, since the folding operation does not damage the folded character components and the character components are reliably rotated to predetermined positions against the elastic force of the elastic rotating member to engage with each other, a skilled technique is required for quick folding and a quick folding operation in which a plurality of character components are rotated by one folding operation can be performed even after the practice.

The animal shape with two feet standing on the back is not limited to the shape of the conventional animal such as the dinosaur shown in the drawings, but can be a character component member having various shapes when the existing animal or the imaginary animal, generally the animal standing on four feet, is in a two-feet standing posture, or when the hand (arm) is in two left and right sides, or when the hand is in a shape simulating a real multi-legged animal or an imaginary animal of 4 or 6, or when the trunk portion is lifted by the foot (leg) closest to the tail or the foot (leg) closest to the tail and the tail.

Further, as a form of an animal standing on both feet, there is a case where a shape of a human wearing equipment such as a helmet on the whole body is set, and there is a case where a shape of a robot standing on both feet is set to be similar to the human shape shown in fig. 4 and 8.

Accordingly, the transformable toy can be set to the 1 st shape shown in fig. 4 by performing the following operations: the leg 441 is folded back downward so that the leg 441 is overlapped on the rear half of the leg 445 against the force of the elastic member for rotation of the leg 441, the upper arm 431 and the arm tip 435 are folded so that the upper arm 431 and the arm tip 435 are overlapped and folded over the front surface of the shoulder armor 495, the body 411 is laid down forward so that the shoulder armor 495 is overlapped on the front half of the leg 445, the inner armor 496 and the outer armor 497 are folded back downward so that the inner armor 495 and the outer armor 497 are overlapped on the shoulder armor 495, and the neck is pressed into the body 411 so that the head 421 engages with the tip of the body 411.

In this way, the two-legged transformable toy 400 can be formed into the thick 1 st shape having a substantially flat plate shape by performing the folding operation in which the leg portion 441 is folded downward by pressing the trunk portion 411, the trunk portion 411 and the shoulder armor portion 495 are folded forward, and the inner armor portion 496 and the outer armor portion 497 are rotated rearward and downward.

In addition, since the folding operation does not damage the folded character components and the character components are reliably rotated to predetermined positions against the elastic force of the elastic rotating member to engage with each other, a skilled technique is required for quick folding, and a quick folding operation in which a plurality of character components are rotated by one folding operation can be performed even after the practice.

In these transformable toys 100, 200, 300, and 400, the roulette is detachable from the roulette shaft, and the roulette may be secured to the roulette shaft, or may be a roulette having a cylindrical rotating drum having a rotation axis substantially parallel to the outer surface of the character member, without being limited to a hexagonal disc-shaped roulette that rotates along the surface of the constant-color member such as the trunk portion and the head portion as shown in the figure.

The wheel disc is not limited to the case where numerals are randomly written, but may be a wheel disc in which characters and symbols representing "wood", "fire", "earth", "gold", and "water" representing all things by the five-element idea are written, a wheel disc in which characters and symbols representing different kinds of gems are written, and a plurality of wheel discs may be prepared so that the wheel disc can be detachably replaced.

As described above, the transformable toys 100, 200, 300, 400 according to the present modification example can be the transformable toys 100, 200, 300, 400 having a substantially flat plate shape as the 1 st shape, and for example, two game players can arrange the transformable toys in a folded state held by themselves so as to face each other, and each of the two game players can deform the transformable toy into the 2 nd shape which is the shape of a three-dimensional character by simultaneously pressing a lock release button or a lock release lever which is a release operation portion of the own transformable toy, and when the character stands on its foot (leg), the game can be played while competing for attack points, defense points, or for the kind or attribute advantages by using the stop position of the roulette wheel, and the transformable toy can be played with a rich variety of games.

As described above, the character constituting members of the transformable toys 100, 200, 300, and 400 according to the respective embodiments have a complicated structure, and can play a game for a racing folding time by utilizing a technique that requires a corresponding technique when performing a folding operation from an open state and an operation that requires folding in an appropriate order, or play a game in which a releasing operation portion for releasing the locking is in a substantially flat plate-like end portion of a folded state, and is in a slightly unstable position with an operation of releasing from a state in which the releasing operation portion is biased by an elastic force, and therefore, it is possible to play a game in which the playing is not fallen down and stands with four or two legs, utilizing a possibility that the balance is broken when an operation error is performed on the releasing operation portion. In the case of playing these games, even if a configuration is adopted in which a rack and pinion, a roulette wheel as a roulette wheel, or the like is removed and roulette is not required, it is possible to play a game with pleasure.

Further, in the four-legged standing-shape transformable toy 100 shown in fig. 5, 11, etc., the cam protrusion is provided at the end portion of the tail portion 151 on the inner side of the trunk portion 111, and in the 2 nd shape in which the character appears, the sliding member 161 is slid so as to push the sliding member 161 forward in accordance with the operation of lowering the tail portion 151 and the elastic member 165 is compressed, and when the operation of lowering the tail portion 151 is released, the wheel 189 is rotated, and thus the tail portion 151 may be used as the operating member to win or lose the game even in the state in which the character appears.

Similarly, in the transformable toy 200 shown in fig. 17, 18, etc., as shown in fig. 26, by adopting the following configuration, that is, a rectangular recess 215 is provided on the back of the trunk portion 211, two through grooves 217 are formed inside the recess 215, a plate-shaped operating member 263 is disposed so as to be accommodated in the recess 215, and a protrusion, not shown, formed on an inner surface of the operating member 263 is inserted into the insertion groove 217 and is connected and fixed to the slide member 261 disposed in the trunk portion 211, so that the operating member 263 and the slide member 261 are integrated, the operating member 263 is lowered to move the sliding member 261 in such a manner as to compress the elastic member, when the pressing force to lower it is removed, wheel 289 is rotated by the elastic force of the elastic member released from the compressing operation, thus, the roulette winning or losing can be performed even in a state where a character appears.

As shown in fig. 27 and 28, there may be a case where the transformable toy 500 is provided with a character member 533 on a character member 531 on which a wheel 589 is detachably provided, the character member 533 having a rotation axis parallel to the rotation axis of the wheel 589.

In the modification toy 500, as the rotation applying mechanism, a large gear is provided on the character member 533 which rotates on the substantially same plane as the rotation surface of the pinion gear, instead of the rack, and the pinion gear is rotated directly or via the acceleration gear by the large gear, so that the disc 589 is rotated in conjunction with the operation of the main movable wing 533.

As shown in fig. 27 and 28, the transformable toy 500 has a wheel 589 on the back 531, and main movable wings 533 and auxiliary movable wings 537 which are rotatable on the back 531, and as shown in fig. 27, the main movable wings 533 and the auxiliary movable wings 537 are folded to the left and right of the head 521, and the movable wings are pressed by the locking projections 553 of the legs 551, so that the transformable toy is set to a 1 st shape which is substantially flat plate-like, and when the operation button 562 of the release operation part 561 provided on the back of the back 531 is pressed, the transformable toy changes to a 2 nd shape which shows a character shape as shown in fig. 28.

As shown in fig. 28 and 29, the transformable toy 500 has a lower jaw portion 523 on the front lower surface of the head 521, a back portion 531 integral with the head 521 at the rear of the head 521, an upper end of a trunk portion 511 at the rear end of the head 521 via a pivot shaft having an elastic member for pivoting, a leg base portion 543 on the left and right of the lower end of the trunk portion 511, and a leg portion 541 via a pivot shaft having an elastic member for pivoting.

The distal end of the leg 541 is attached to the substantially center of the leg 551 by a rotating shaft having a rotating elastic member, the leg 551 has a groove-like accommodation recess 557 capable of accommodating the leg 541 at a position rearward of the position where the leg 541 is attached, the leg 551 has a locking projection 553 projecting upward from an outer surface slightly forward of the center, and the leg 551 has a fixing projection 555 projecting inward from the inner surface toward both legs at a position slightly rearward of the center.

Further, the main movable wings 533 are attached to the vicinity of both sides of the front of the back 531, the main movable wings 533 are rotatably fixed to the back 531 by the wing rotating shafts 539 as shown in fig. 33, the auxiliary movable wings 537 are also rotatably attached to the wing rotating shafts 539, and the respective movable wings of the main movable wings 533 and the auxiliary movable wings 537 are urged by rotating elastic members wound around the wing rotating shafts 539 to open the tips of the respective movable wings.

Further, the right and left main movable wings 533 superimposed on the auxiliary movable wings 537 have wing locking projections 535 projecting downward at the outer edge near the base thereof, and as shown in fig. 27, the wing locking projections 535 are positioned inside the locking projections 553 of the leg portions 551, and the main movable wings 533 are prevented from being opened in the 1 st shape by the wing locking projections 535, and the auxiliary movable wings 537 are also prevented from being opened.

Further, in the main movable wings 533, a fan-shaped large gear 581 having a wing rotating shaft 539 as a rotation center is provided on the inner side of the back portion 531 at the base of one main movable wing 533, the large gear 581 can be meshed with a pinion gear of an acceleration gear 583 as an acceleration member, and the large gear of the acceleration gear 583 is meshed with a pinion gear 585 of a wheel shaft 587.

Further, in this transformable toy 500, the releasing member 567 and the locking member 571 that is the locking member are provided inside the back portion 531, and as shown in fig. 32, the locking member 571 is biased rearward (downward in fig. 32) by the locking releasing elastic member 565 disposed at the front end thereof, and in the 2 nd shape that is the character shape, the flat plate-shaped locking operation portion 575 formed at the rear end of the locking member 571 is projected rearward (downward in the drawing) of the trunk portion 511 as shown in fig. 31.

The locking member 571 has a substantially square columnar body portion 573 and is slidably accommodated in the body portion 511 in the front-rear direction, and the locking member 571 has the above-described locking operation portion 575 at the rear end of the body portion 573, and has fixing locking portions 577 on the left and right sides of the distal end of the body portion 573, and the fixing locking portions 577 have groove-shaped locking grooves 578 on the outer side in the front-rear direction.

Release members 567 are disposed on the left and right sides of the locking member 571 behind the substantial center of the body portion 573, the two release members 567 are integrally connected to the lower surface side of the body portion 573 by a coupling rod not shown, and the elastic body housed inside the two release members 567 is biased upward to press the coupling rod against the lower surface of the body portion 573.

In the state in which the locking member 571 is in the state shown in fig. 32 and is retracted, the body 573 of the locking member 571 has grooves up to both left and right ends of the body 573 in which the connecting rod can be accommodated at a position located rearward (downward in fig. 32) of the connecting rod of the release member 567, and when the locking member 571 is moved forward and the locking release elastic member 565 is set to the compressed state, the connecting rod is accommodated in the grooves and the body 573 is prevented from being retracted.

When the locking member 571 is positioned forward and the connecting rod is accommodated in the groove, the distal ends of the fixing locking portions 577 provided on the left and right sides of the distal end of the body portion 573 are exposed to both sides of the body portion 511.

When the connecting rod is removed from the groove to retract the locking member 571 and the locking operation portion 575 is projected from the rear end of the back portion 531, as shown in fig. 31, the distal ends of the release members 567 disposed on both sides of the locking member 571 are on the substantially same plane as the upper surface of the back portion 531 and are exposed to the upper surface of the back portion 531, and when the connecting rod is accommodated in the groove of the locking member 571, the distal ends of the release members 567 slightly project from the upper surface of the back portion 531 to prevent the retraction of the locking member 571.

Therefore, in this modified toy 500, from the 2 nd shape which is the shape of the character shown in fig. 28 and the like, when the folding operation for rotating the main movable wing 533 and the auxiliary movable wing 537 forward to position them on the right and left of the head 521 is performed, the folding operation for pressing the back portion 531 from above to overlap the back portion 531 and the body portion 511 against the force of the elastic member for rotation provided on the rotation shaft for connecting the back portion 531 and the body portion 511 is performed, and the entire body portion 511 is folded downward to bring the body portion 551 close to the leg portion 551 against the force of the elastic member for rotation provided on the rotation shaft for connecting the body portion 511 and the leg portion 541 and the elastic member for rotation provided on the rotation shaft for connecting the leg portion 541 and the leg portion 551 to store the leg portion 541 in the storage recess 557 of the leg portion 551, as shown in fig. 27, the configuration can be set to the 1 st configuration in which the auxiliary movable wing 537 and the main movable wing 533 are placed on the leg 551, and the head 521 and the body 511 are placed between the leg 551, and the back 531 is placed on the rear half of the leg 551, and the respective portions are folded close to the leg 551.

When the locking operation portion 575 protruding from the rear end of the body portion 511 is pushed into the body portion 511 in this state, the locking member 571 moves forward inside the body portion 511 to cause the distal end of the fixing locking portion 577 to protrude toward both sides of the body portion 511, and the distal end edge of the fixing protrusion 555 provided inside the leg portion 551 is caught in the locking groove 578 of the fixing locking portion 577, so that the distal end of the fixing locking portion 577 engages with the fixing protrusion 555 as shown in fig. 30, and the body portion 511 is prevented from moving away from the leg portion 551.

Therefore, by accommodating the leg 541 in the accommodation recess 557 and positioning the trunk 511 between the rear halves of the legs 551, the movable wing can be placed on the front half of the leg 551 and the back 531 on the rear half of the leg 551, and the state in which the head 521 is positioned on the leg 551 can be maintained in advance.

In this way, the transformable toy 500 with its wings spread out to the left and right can be made into the 1 st shape of a substantially flat plate shape in which the character is compressed in the up-down direction by rotating the left and right main movable wings 533 and auxiliary movable wings 537 forward and folding them from the left and right to the sides of the head 521, horizontally holding the head 521 and the back 531 and pressing them downward, thereby rotating the leg 541 rearward and downward, rotating the body 511 forward and downward to fold the leg 541 and the body 511, and overlapping the back 531 on the leg 551 and pressing the engaging operation part 575 into the body 511.

In addition, since the folding operation does not damage the folded character components and the character components are reliably rotated to predetermined positions against the elastic force of the elastic rotating member to engage with each other, a skilled technique is required for quick folding and a quick folding operation in which a plurality of character components are rotated by one folding operation can be performed even after the practice.

When the operation button 562 of the release operation portion 561 provided at the rear end of the back portion 531 is pressed, the release operation portion 561 has the operation button 562 on the upper surface of the back portion 531, and has two cylindrical release protrusions 563 inside the back portion 531 as shown in fig. 33, the tips of the two release protrusions 563 are brought into contact with the upper surface of the release member 567 protruding slightly toward the upper surface of the body portion 511 in the folded 1 st shape, and by pressing the operation button 562, the release member 567 is pressed, and the coupling rod of the release member 567 is disengaged from the groove of the locking member 571, and the locking member 571 can be retracted.

Accordingly, when the locking member 571 retreats, the fixing projections 555 provided on the leg portions 551 are disengaged from the locking grooves 578 of the fixing locking portions 577, the leg portions 541 are raised by the elastic member for rotation so as to raise the leg portion bases 543, the trunk portions 511 are similarly raised so as to be separated from the leg portions 541 so as to raise the head portions 521 and the back portions 531, and when the back portions 531 are separated from the leg portions 551, the main movable wings 533 and the auxiliary movable wings 537 are rotated so as to spread left and right, and can be largely changed.

When main movable wings 533 and auxiliary movable wings 537 are spread out in this manner, large gear 581 provided at the base of main movable wings 533 meshes with acceleration gear 583 incorporated in back 531 to rotate acceleration gear 583, thereby rapidly rotating wheel-disk shaft 587 and wheel-disk 589, and then large gear 581 is separated from acceleration gear 583 in a state where main movable wings 533 shown in fig. 28 and the like are opened, and rotation maintaining means having such a structure is configured, so that wheel-disk shaft 587 and wheel-disk 589 are stopped at a non-position after continuing to rotate.

Then, when left and right main movable wings 533 are moved closer to the left and right sides of head 521 and away from the fingers so as to be closed with the fingers from a state where left and right main movable wings 533 are opened as shown in fig. 28, the roulette 589 can be rotated again to play a game.

Further, the transformable toy 500 may be configured such that a rack capable of meshing with a pinion of the acceleration gear 583 is slidably attached to the back portion 531 without providing the large gear 581 at the base of the main movable wing 533, a slide button capable of operating to move the rack as the slide member back and forth is provided at the back portion 531 or the head portion 521, and an elastic member for biasing the rack as the slide member in one direction is attached, so that the roulette 589 is not rotated when the transformable toy 500 is transformed from the 1 st shape to the 2 nd shape, and the roulette 589 is moved together with the slide button by operating the slide button so as to be pushed laterally by a finger in the 1 st shape or the 2 nd shape, and the elastic member is compressed to separate the finger from the slide button, thereby enabling the roulette 589 to be rotated for play.

Further, as described above, the character constituting members of the transformable toys 100, 200, 300, 400, 500 according to the respective embodiments include a complicated structure having a rotation axis with the horizontal direction, the vertical direction, or the front-rear direction as the axial direction in the 1 st shape, and even in the operation of folding from the open state, a technique corresponding to the folding operation in the front-rear direction, the horizontal direction, the vertical direction, or the operation combining the pushing operation and the operation of folding in an appropriate order are required, and therefore, a game of racing the folding time can be performed.

Further, since the release operation portion for releasing the engagement is in a slightly unstable position due to the substantially flat plate-shaped end portion in the folded state and is accompanied by an operation of releasing from the state of being urged by the elastic force, it is possible to play a game in which the game is not fallen down and stands with four or two legs, taking advantage of the possibility that the balance is lost when an operation error is made on the release operation portion. These games of racing the fold time and games of standing accurately from the folded state can be enjoyably played even if the structure is adopted in which a rack and pinion, a roulette wheel, and the like are removed and roulette is not necessary.
