Description

  The present invention relates to a game device, and more particularly to a game device that is deformed by the action of magnetic force.

  Conventionally, toys that exhibit various play effects by the action of magnetic force have been proposed and put into practical use. For example, a toy that includes a doll provided with a permanent magnet and a house main body provided with a magnetic body and is developed by the action of magnetic force has been proposed (see, for example, Patent Document 1). Such a toy automatically realizes the development of the house body and the opening of the door by attracting the magnetic body provided in the house body by the magnet provided in the house body when the doll approaches the house body. It is.

Japanese Utility Model Publication No. 6-160

  By the way, the conventional magnetic force deployment type toy (for example, a toy of a house main body) as described in Patent Document 1 described above needs to incorporate a mechanism that operates by magnetic force, but is placed in a specific place. Therefore, the shape and size are not limited during the design.

  However, for example, when a shooter that shoots a magnetically developed toy is used to develop a shooting game in which the toy is run on a running toy provided with rails and various traps, the toy itself However, the following problems occur at this time.

  That is, in order to realize the miniaturization of the magnetic force deployment type toy, (1) a space for incorporating various mechanisms that operate by magnetic force, and (2) a space for housing a portion to be deployed. Although it is necessary to provide both, it is accompanied by great difficulty in design to secure both of these spaces inside a small toy. Moreover, in order to enable a shooting game using a magnetically developed toy, it is necessary to make this toy into a rollable shape (for example, a spherical shape), while adopting such a rollable shape. Miniaturization is further difficult in design, and has not been realized by conventional techniques.

  The present invention has been made in view of such circumstances, and by making a magnetically deployable toy freely rollable, the product value of the toy is greatly improved, and the player has fresh surprises and intellectual excitement. An object is to provide a game device to be given.

  To achieve the above object, the present invention comprises a toy having a substantially spherical outer shape, a shooter that shoots the toy, and a running surface on which a magnetic member is arranged, and the toy constitutes one character. A plurality of constituent members, a lower member, a locking member, a magnetic body disposed in the lower member so as to move by a magnetic force acting between the external magnetic member, and an elastic member, When the magnetic force is not applied to the magnetic body, at least some of the constituent members against the elastic force of the elastic member are attached to the engaging member and the constituent member corresponding to the engaging member. The first shape is maintained by being held in a predetermined arrangement by engaging with the stopper, and when the magnetic force acts on the magnetic body, the magnetic body moves and interlocks with the movement of the magnetic body. The locking by the member and the locking part is released. The plurality of structural members include at least one internal member and a plurality of external members, and the external member and the internal member are formed by the toy. The plurality of external members are arranged so as to constitute the one character when deformed into the second shape, and the plurality of external members engage with adjacent members when in the first shape. Are arranged so as to form an accommodating space on the inside thereof, and each of the external members is held against the elastic force to maintain the substantially spherical shape, and the internal member is The toy is housed in the housing space so as not to be seen from the outside, and the toy is released from the shooter by a user operation and moves on the running surface to reach the position where the magnetic member is disposed. The magnetic body is moved by the magnetic force acting between the magnetic member and the magnetic body, the locking by the locking member and the locking portion is released, and each of the external members is released. A game device configured to rotate and open outward by the elastic force, the hidden internal member appears, and the character constituted by the plurality of external members and the internal member appear. It is to provide.

  In order to achieve the above object, a toy according to the present invention includes an external structure configured to be deformed from a rollable first shape to a second shape, and an internal structure of the external structure. A toy comprising: an internal structure to be housed, wherein the external structure has an external locking portion and a deformation means for deforming the external structure from the first shape to the second shape. The internal structure includes a magnetic body that is moved by a magnetic force acting from the outside of the toy, an internal locking portion that moves in conjunction with the movement of the magnetic body, and the internal locking portion is moved or rotated in a specific direction. A biasing means for applying a force to cause the internal locking portion to move or rotate in a specific direction by the force of the biasing means and the external locking when no magnetic force acts from the outside of the toy The first shape of the external structure is maintained while the locked state with the part is realized, while the exterior of the toy When the magnetic force acts, the magnetic body and the internal locking portion move or rotate against the force of the biasing means, and the locking state between the internal locking portion and the external locking portion is released, and the deformation The external structure may be deformed from the first shape to the second shape by the means.

  According to this configuration, when the magnetic force does not act from the outside of the toy, a locking state between the internal locking portion and the external locking portion that is moved or rotated in a specific direction by the force of the biasing means is realized. Thus, the first rollable shape (for example, a substantially spherical shape) of the external structure is maintained. On the other hand, when a magnetic force acts from the outside of the toy, the magnetic body and the internal locking portion move or rotate against the force of the biasing means, and the locking between the internal locking portion and the external locking portion The state is released, and the external structure is deformed from the first shape to the second shape by the deformation means.

  That is, as long as the force (magnetic force) for attracting the magnetic body from the outside of the toy does not act, the toy can maintain the first shape that can roll freely. Therefore, for example, it is possible to realize a game such as a shooting game in which the toy according to the present invention is run on the running toy. Also, by applying a magnetic force from the outside of the toy, the magnetic body and the internal locking part inside the toy move or rotate, and the internal locking part of the internal structure and the external locking part of the external structure Since the locked state is released, the toy can be automatically deformed from the first shape to the second shape. Therefore, for example, by arranging a magnet at a specific position of the traveling toy, the toy traveling on the traveling toy in the first shape that can freely roll is suddenly changed to a different shape (second shape) at the specific position. It can be deformed. In addition, since the mechanism for deforming the toy from the first shape to the second shape is relatively simple, it is possible to reduce the size of the toy. As a result, the product value of the toy can be significantly improved, and it is possible to give the player a fresh surprise and intellectual excitement.

  In the toy, an internal locking portion that moves linearly between the center position of the toy and the position in the vicinity of the surface integrally with the magnetic body can be employed. In such a case, it is possible to employ a biasing means that applies a force for moving the internal locking portion from the position near the surface of the toy toward the center position.

  Further, in the toy, as the internal structure, a first internal rotation portion that rotates integrally with the magnetic body around the first internal rotation shaft, and rotation of the first internal rotation portion And a second internal rotation portion that rotates about the second internal rotation axis in conjunction with the first internal rotation axis. In such a case, an internal locking portion that rotates integrally with the second internal rotation portion is employed, and a force for rotating the second internal rotation portion and the internal locking portion in a specific direction. It is possible to employ an urging means that acts.

  Further, in the toy, as the external structure, a first external rotation member that rotates about a first external rotation axis and a second external rotation that rotates about a second external rotation axis. And a rotating member. In such a case, as the deforming means, it is possible to employ rotating means for applying a force that rotates the first and second external rotating members. Further, when the magnetic force acts from the outside of the toy and the locking state between the internal locking portion and the external locking portion is released, the rotation of the first external rotation member and the second external rotation It is also possible to adopt a configuration in which the rotation of the member is realized in this order.

  Further, in the toy, the external structure is configured to be able to be restored from the second shape to the first shape, and when the external structure is restored from the second shape to the first shape, It is preferable to adopt a configuration in which the locking state between the locking portion and the external locking portion is realized and the first shape of the external structure is maintained again.

  By adopting such a configuration, even after the toy is deformed from the first shape to the second shape by the action of the magnetic force, the toy can be restored to the first shape that can be rolled and reused. , Games such as shooting games can be repeated.

  According to the present invention, the magnetically developed toy can be freely rolled, so that the commercial value of the toy can be remarkably improved and fresh surprise and intellectual excitement can be given to the player.

  Next, the deformation | transformation operation | movement of the toy 1 which concerns on this embodiment is demonstrated.

  When there is no magnetic material such as metal in the vicinity of the magnet 11 of the internal structure of the toy 1, the magnet 11 does not move by magnetic force, and the locking member 10 is moved by the elastic force of the spring 12 of the internal structure. The state of being pressed from the outside of the toy 1 to the central portion is maintained. In this state, as shown in FIG. 5A, the external locking portions 5c and 7c of the external structure are locked to the left and right internal locking portions 10c and 10c of the locking member 10 of the internal structure. As shown in FIGS. 2 to 4, the spherical shape (first shape) of the external structure is maintained.

  On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 5B, when a magnetic body such as metal (card M embedded with metal) is present in the vicinity of the magnet 11 of the internal structure of the toy 1, the magnet 11 and the magnetic A magnetic force that attracts the body acts. Due to the action of the magnetic force, the magnet 11 and the locking member 10 of the internal structure of the toy 1 move outwardly from the central portion of the toy 1 against the elastic force of the spring 12. The locked state between the left and right internal locking portions 10c, 10c of the body locking member 10 and the external locking portions 5c, 7c of the external structure is released.

  As a result, the external structure is deformed into a character shape (second shape) as shown in FIG. 7 by the elastic force of the springs 30, 31, and 32. At this time, first, when the locking state between the internal locking portions 10c and 10c and the external locking portions 5c and 7c is released, the side members 4 to 7 are rotated by the force of the springs 31 and 32. Next, as shown in FIG. 6B, the locking of the convex portion 3c of the upper member 3 and the concave portion 4b of the side member 4 is released by the rotation of the side members 4 to 7, so that the spring 30 The upper member 3 is rotated upward by the elastic force.

  In order to restore the shape of the toy 1 from the character shape (second shape) to the spherical shape (first shape), first, the upper member 3 of the external structure is resisted against the elastic force of the spring 30. Is rotated downward. Next, the side members 4 to 7 of the external structure are rotated toward the front center against the elastic force of the springs 31 and 32, and the convex portion 3 c of the upper member 3 and the concave portion 4 b of the side member 4 are moved. While locking, the external locking portions 5c and 7c of the external structure and the internal locking portions 10c and 10c of the internal structure are locked. With this operation, the shape of the external structure of the toy 1 is restored to a spherical shape. And the spherical shape of toy 1 will be maintained until a magnetic force acts again.

  In the toy 1 according to the embodiment described above, the toy 1 maintains a rollable spherical shape (first shape) unless a force (magnetic force) for attracting the magnet 11 from the outside of the toy 1 acts. Can do. Therefore, for example, it is possible to realize a game such as a shooting game in which the toy 1 according to the present embodiment travels on a traveling toy. Moreover, the magnet 11 and the locking member 10 inside the toy 1 are moved only by applying a magnetic force from the outside of the toy 1, and the internal locking portions 10c and 10c of the internal structure and the external locking portion of the external structure are moved. Since the locked state with 5c and 7c is released, the toy 1 can be automatically deformed from a spherical shape to a character shape (second shape). Therefore, for example, by arranging a magnetic material such as metal at a specific position of the traveling toy, the toy 1 traveling on the traveling toy in a rollable spherical shape is suddenly changed to another shape (second (Shape). In addition, since the mechanism for deforming the toy 1 is relatively simple, the toy 1 can be downsized. As a result, the product value of the toy 1 can be significantly improved, and it is possible to give a fresh surprise and intellectual excitement to the player.

  Moreover, in the toy 1 according to the embodiment described above, the external structure is configured to be able to be restored from the shape of the character (second shape) to the spherical shape (first shape), and the external structure When the structure is restored to a spherical shape, the locked state between the internal locking portions 10c and 10c and the external locking portions 5c and 7c is realized, and the spherical shape is maintained again. Accordingly, even after the toy 1 is deformed from the spherical shape to the character shape due to the action of the magnetic force, the toy 1 can be restored to a rollable spherical shape and reused. Can be repeated.

When no magnetic force acts on the toy 1A and the internal locking portion 10Ac of the internal structure is biased to rotate forward by the elastic force of the spring 11A, as shown in FIG. Since the external locking portion 5Aa of the connecting rotation member 5A is locked to the internal locking portion 10Ac, the connecting rotation member 5A and the central rotation members 4A and 4B do not rotate upward. On the other hand, when the magnetic force acts on the toy 1A and the internal locking portion 10Ac of the internal structure rotates rearward, as shown in FIG. 12B, the internal locking portion 10Ac and the external locking portion 5Aa. Therefore, the central rotating members 4A and 4B are rotated backward by the elastic force of the spring 30A. Then, the outer surfaces of the central rotating members 4A and 4B come into contact with the convex portion 2Bb provided on the rear side of the hemispherical component 2B, and the central rotating members 4A and 4B and the connected rotational members are caused by the reaction force from the convex portion 2Bb.

One end portions of the side rotation members 7A and 7B are rotatably connected to the second bearing portions 2Ac and 2Bc of the hemispherical component members 2A and 2B via rotation shafts 23A and 23B. At this time, the side rotation members 7A and 7B are rotated rearward by the elastic force of the springs 31A and 31B disposed between the side rotation members 7A and 7B and the hemispherical components 2A and 2B. It is energized.

  When no magnetic force acts on the toy 1A and the central rotating members 4A, 4B and the connecting rotating member 5A do not rotate, as shown in FIG. 12 (a), the rear of each of the side rotating members 7A, 7B. Since the end portions are in contact with the rear end portions of the central rotating members 4A and 4B, the side rotating members 7A and 7B do not rotate. On the other hand, when the magnetic force acts on the toy 1A and the central rotation members 4A and 4B rotate upward, the side rotation members 7A and 7A are provided behind the rear end portions of the central rotation members 4A and 4B. Since a slight gap is formed so that each rear end portion of 7B enters, rotation of the side rotation members 7A and 7B is allowed. Then, the central rotating members 4A and 4B pressed forward by the rear end portions of the side rotating members 7A and 7B rotate upward and forward.

  The central rotating members 4A and 4B and the connecting rotating member 5A of the external structure correspond to the first external rotating member in the present invention, and the rotating shafts 20A and 21A are the first external rotating members in the present invention.

Further, the side rotation members 7A and 7B correspond to the second external rotation member in the present invention, and the rotation shafts 23A and 23B correspond to the second external rotation shaft in the present invention. Further, the spring 30A for applying the force for rotating the central rotating members 4A and 4B and the springs 31A and 31B for applying the force for rotating the side rotating members 7A and 7B are the rotation in the present invention. It corresponds to a moving means and a deforming means.

  As shown in FIGS. 8 and 12, etc., the internal turning member 8A of the internal structure includes a large cylindrical portion 8Aa, and an extending portion 8Ab provided so as to extend in one direction from the large cylindrical portion 8Aa, Two projecting pieces 8Ac and 8Ac provided so as to extend from the large cylindrical portion 8Aa in a direction substantially perpendicular to the extending direction of the extending portion 8Ab. The large cylindrical portion 8Aa of the internal rotation member 8A is connected to a rotation shaft portion 2Bb provided inside the hemispherical component 2B by a bolt 40B. Thus, the internal rotation member 8A is rotatable about a horizontal rotation axis (first internal rotation axis). A magnet 9A is fixed to the lower end of the extending portion 8Ab of the internal rotation member 8A. As shown in FIG. 12, the magnet 9 </ b> A is disposed in the vicinity of the surface of the toy 1 </ b> A (the surfaces of the hemispherical components 2 </ b> A and 2 </ b> B of the external structure). Also, as shown in FIG. 12, a space is provided between the magnet 9A and the vicinity of the surface of the toy 1A so that the magnet 9A can rotate. In between, this space and the magnet 9A are located on a substantially straight line.

  As shown in FIGS. 8 and 12, etc., the rotation locking member 10A of the internal structure includes a small cylindrical portion 10Aa, a protruding portion 10Ab provided so as to protrude in one direction from the small cylindrical portion 10Aa, And an L-shaped internal locking portion 10Ac provided so as to extend from the cylindrical portion 10Aa in the opposite direction to the protrusion 10Ab.

Thereby, the rotation locking member 10A is rotatable about the rotation axis in the left-right direction (second internal rotation axis). At this time, due to the elastic force of the spring 11A disposed between the rotation locking member 10A and the hemispherical component 2B, the rotation locking member 10A is moved in a specific direction (the upper internal locking portion 10Ac positioned forward). In the direction of rotation). As shown in FIG. 12, the protrusion 10Ab of the rotation locking member 10A is slidably fitted between the two protrusions 8Ac and 8Ac of the internal rotation member 8A. Further, the internal locking portion 10Ac of the internal rotation member 8A is locked to the external locking portion 5Aa of the connecting rotation member 5A of the external structure. The internal rotation member 8A of the internal structure corresponds to the first internal rotation part in the present invention, the rotation locking member 10A corresponds to the second internal rotation part in the present invention, and the spring 11A This corresponds to the biasing means in the present invention.

  Next, the deformation | transformation operation | movement of toy 1A which concerns on this embodiment is demonstrated.

  When there is no magnetic material such as metal in the vicinity of the magnet 9A of the internal structure of the toy 1A, the magnet 9A does not move by magnetic force, and the rotation locking member is generated by the elastic force of the spring 11A of the internal structure. The state where 10A is urged in a specific direction (a direction in which the internal locking portion 10Ac positioned above rotates forward) is maintained. In this state, as shown in FIG. 12A, the external locking portion 5Aa of the connecting rotation member 5A of the external structure is locked to the internal locking portion 10Ac of the rotation locking member 10A of the internal structure. Thus, the spherical shape of the external structure is maintained as shown in FIGS.

On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 12B, when a magnetic body such as metal (card M embedded with metal) is present in the vicinity of the magnet 9A of the internal structure of the toy 1A, the magnet 9A and the magnetic A magnetic force that attracts the body acts. Thereby, the magnet 9A and the internal rotation member 8A of the internal structure of the toy 1A are integrally rotated in the R ₁ direction of FIG. When the internal rotation member 8A rotates in this way, the projection 10Ab of the rotation locking member 10A fitted in the two protrusions 8Ac and 8Ac of the internal rotation member 8A swings forward, and rotates. since Dogakaritome member 10A is rotated in the R ₂ direction in FIG. 12, the locking state between the exterior locking portion 5Aa of connecting turning component 5A and the interior locking portion 10Ac of turning locking component 10A is released The

  As a result, the external structure is deformed into a character shape (second shape) as shown in FIGS. 13 to 15 by the elastic force of the springs 30A, 31A, 31B. At this time, first, when the locking state between the internal locking portion 10Ac and the external locking portion 5Aa is released, the central rotating members 4A and 4B and the connecting rotating member 5A are rotated by the elastic force of the spring 30A. . Next, since the rotation of the side rotation members 7A and 7B is allowed by the rotation of the central rotation members 4A and 4B, the side rotation members 7A and 7B are moved backward by the elastic force of the springs 31A and 31B. It will turn.

  In order to restore the shape of the toy 1A from the character shape (second shape) to the spherical shape (first shape), first, the external structure side is resisted against the elastic force of the springs 31A and 31B. The direction turning members 7A and 7B are turned forward. Next, the central rotating members 4A and 4B and the connecting rotating member 5A of the external structure are rotated backward against the elastic force of the spring 30A, and the external locking portion 5Aa of the external structure and the internal structure The internal locking portion 10Ac is locked. By this operation, the shape of the external structure of the toy 1A is restored to a spherical shape. And the spherical shape of toy 1A will be maintained until a magnetic force acts again.

  In the toy 1A according to the embodiment described above, the toy 1A maintains a rollable spherical shape (first shape) unless a force (magnetic force) that attracts the magnet 9A from the outside of the toy 1A acts. Can do. Therefore, for example, it is possible to realize a game such as a shooting game in which the toy 1A according to the present embodiment travels on a traveling toy. Further, by only applying a magnetic force from the outside of the toy 1A, the magnet 9A and the internal rotating member 8A inside the toy 1A rotate to rotate the internal locking portion 10Ac of the internal structure and the external locking member of the external structure. Since the locked state with 5Aa is released, the toy 1A can be automatically deformed from a spherical shape to a character shape (second shape). Therefore, for example, by arranging a magnetic material such as a metal at a specific position of the traveling toy, the toy 1A traveling on the traveling toy in a rollable spherical shape is suddenly changed to another shape (second shape) at the specific position. It is possible to deform it. In addition, since the mechanism for deforming the toy 1A is relatively simple, the toy 1A can be downsized. As a result, the product value of the toy 1A can be significantly improved, and it is possible to give the player a fresh surprise and intellectual excitement.

  In the toy 1A according to the above-described embodiment, the external structure is configured to be able to be restored from the shape of the character (second shape) to the spherical shape (first shape). When the structure is restored to the spherical shape, the locked state between the internal locking portion 10Ac and the external locking portion 5Aa is realized, and the spherical shape is maintained again. Therefore, even after the toy 1A is deformed from the spherical shape to the character shape by the action of the magnetic force, the toy 1A can be restored to a rollable spherical shape and reused. Can be repeated.

  The present invention is not limited to the above embodiments, and various modifications can be made without departing from the scope of the invention. For example, in each of the embodiments described above, a magnet is arranged to be movable (turnable) inside the toy, and a magnetic body such as metal is arranged outside the toy to move (turn) the magnet in the toy. Although the example which realized the deformation | transformation of the toy was shown by this, magnetic materials, such as a metal, are arrange | positioned inside a toy so that movement (turning) is possible, and a magnet is arrange | positioned outside the toy and the magnetic material in a toy is arranged. The toy may be deformed by sucking and moving (turning).

However, the mode of movement (rotation) of the magnetic body (magnet) in the toy is not limited to this. For example, the magnetic body in the toy is moved (rotated) from the position near the surface of the toy to the center position by repelling the magnetic pole of the external magnetic body and the magnetic body of the magnetic body in the toy, etc. It is also possible to adopt a configuration that realizes the above. In the case of adopting such a configuration, the positions of the magnets (for example, the magnets 11 and 9A in the above-described embodiment) arranged between the center position of the toy and the vicinity of the surface of the toy and the moving space of the magnet are exchanged, This space is provided between the toy center and the magnet.

  Further, in each of the above embodiments, an example in which the “spherical shape” is adopted as the first shape of the toy has been shown, but other shapes that can freely roll (for example, the shape of a rugby ball or a cylindrical shape) are used. It can also be adopted as the first shape. Moreover, the 2nd shape of a toy is not specifically limited, A various shape is employable.

  Further, in each of the above embodiments, an example in which a spring is employed as the urging unit, the deforming unit, and the rotating unit has been described. However, other elastic bodies such as rubber may be employed as the urging unit.
