Abstract: A safety razor includes a holding member for holding a razor blade; a pair of shaft members rotatably connected to the rear side of the holding members opposite to the razor blade; and a pair of cover members each slidably connected to a corresponding one of the shaft members for covering the holding member when the said shaft members are moved substantially in parallel with the holding member.
Abstract: A transformable toy vehicle capable of being converted into a toy robot is provided. The converted toy robot gives no impression of the original outer appearance of the toy vehicle, because of the folding operation of the front and rear compartments. The transformable toy vehicle includes a body, a chassis, pivotal members, and wheel support members. The body includes front, middle, and rear compartments. The chassis supports the front and rear compartments and mounts thereupon the vehicle wheels. The front and rear compartments can be rotated about the pivotal member relative to each other to form a trunk body of the toy robot, and the middle compartment is mounted upon the pivotal member to form a head portion of the toy robot.
Abstract: A wrist watch type container for a toy robot or the like is provided for securely accommodating a toy robot. The wrist watch type container for a toy robot or the like comprises a casing member, strapping means, and cooperating means. The casing member comprises a hollow base portion and an edge portion extending upwardly of the peripheral margin of the hollow base portion. The strapping means is coupled to the casing member for wearing on the wrist. The cooperating means is provided in the toy robot or the like to be held in the casing member for coupling with the engaging means, whereby the toy robot or the like is suitably accommodated within the space surrounded by the edge portion. The engaging means may be a hook member, magnets, or any other suitable clamping device.
Abstract: A form-convertible toy robot comprises a body including a head, arms, shoulders, thighs, and legs. The head has a robot face on one surface thereof and a predetermined portion of the form on the other surface thereof. The arms with shoulders are mounted rotatably of the body and are in frictional engagement with the body. The thighs are mounted on the body either in fixed relation to the body or in rotational relation to the body. The legs are mounted on the thighs for rotational or slidable movement relative to the thighs. The toy robot can be converted into another form, such as a toy car, motorcycle, helicopter, tank or the like.
Abstract: A releasable joint structure comprises an engaging device, first and second biasing members, a receiving plate, a guide rod, and a stopper member. The engaging device is inserted into a main hole formed on the receiving plate in order to push back a plate member provided on the second biasing member against the force exerted thereby. The receiving plate is then pushed laterally relative to the engaging device by a force exerted by the first biasing member, until the engagement between the plate member and the stopper member is obtained. The engaging member in this condition is pivotally supported on the peripheral of the side hole. When it is required to remove the engaging device out of the receiving plate, the guide rod is operated to attain the engagement between the plate member and the stopper member. The engagement device is then automatically pushed out of the receiving plate.
Abstract: A transformable toy vehicle is presented which can assume the form of two extraordinarily different appearances from each other by converting the mutual arrangement of particular elements constituting the toy vehicle. The toy vehicle comprises a chassis capable of being extended and contracted along the longitudinal direction of the car, a rear body of the car mounted on the chassis for turning upside down and reversing front and rear faces to assume two different outer appearances for top and rear faces and for bottom and front faces, respectively, and a seat member mounted generally centrally on the chassis for moving vertically and horizontally relative to the chassis.
Abstract: A launching apparatus for a resilient drive mobile toy having a driven wheel. The launching apparatus includes a receptacle for accommodating the mobile toy, the receptacle including an opening for passing the mobile toy and a floor plate having a slot formed therethrough for partly projecting the driven wheel outwards. Provided to the receptacle are a holding device for releasably holding the mobile toy so that the driven wheel engages the slot for stopping the rotation thereof by friction and another device for pushing the mobile toy toward the opening so that the driven wheel is disengaged from the slot when the holding is released.
Abstract: A toy robot equipped with a timepiece is provided which can be used as a plaything as well as a table clock. The toy robot comprises a robot body portion, a timepiece, and arm and leg assemblies. The robot body portion simulates a torso of the toy robot and has front and rear hollow body sections divided by a partition plate. The timepiece is fixedly mounted on the partition plate and is accommodated within the hollow of the front body section. The arm and leg assemblies are mounted in the rear hollow body section and are constructed in such a manner that the assemblies can be accommodated within and pulled out of the hollow of the rear body section. A cap member can be provided for journaling to the front body section to cover the surface of the timepiece. The cap member is used as a head of the toy robot when it is lifted up from the timepiece.
