Patent number: 7662016Abstract: The present invention provides a transformable toy capable of being transformed from a doll robot toy into a compact figure. Each of leg sections 11 of the doll robot toy 1 has a knee-position connecting mechanism 23 for connecting a thigh section 11a and a shin section 11b and an ankle-position connecting mechanism 27 for connecting the shin section 11b and a foot section 11c. The knee-position connecting mechanism 23 is constructed so as to allow a calf portion of the shin section 11b to be placed adjacent to the rear side of the thigh section 11a. The ankle-position connecting mechanism 27 is constructed so as to allow a sole portion of the foot section 11c to be placed adjacent to the back side of the body section 5 of the doll robot toy.Type: GrantFiled: May 18, 2004Date of Patent: February 16, 2010Assignee: Konami Digital Entertainment Co., Ltd.Inventors: Koji Okamoto, Ryosuke Toriyama, Shinya Saito, Shinichi Hanamoto

Patent number: 7568965Abstract: The present invention provides a transformable toy with which the user can enjoy the transforming process of the figure of the toy much more than ever. A movable toy includes an assembly composed of a plurality of components. The assembly is mounted onto an upper body of a toy doll to constitute an exterior 30 for the upper body of a toy robot. The assembly includes a first assembly constituent section, a second assembly constituent section, and a third assembly constituent section. The first assembly constituent section (13A, 14, 15) is disposed in a front side of the toy doll. The second assembly constituent section (11, 13B, 17) is connected to the first assembly constituent section and disposed in a back side of the toy doll. A handle (16A, 16B) composing the third assembly constituent section connects the first and second assembly constituent sections. The first, second and third assembly constituent sections are assembled together in an annular shape to constitute the exterior 30.Type: GrantFiled: January 14, 2005Date of Patent: August 4, 2009Assignee: Konami Digital Entertainment Co., Ltd.Inventors: Ryosuke Toriyama, Tetsuro Itami, Shinichi Hanamoto, Koji Okamoto

Patent number: 7467986Abstract: The present invention provides a transformable toy capable of transformations which are more unpredictable than those according to the prior art. A neck section (19) is constructed to be extended and contracted in a direction where a first to fourth components (35-41) are arranged. The first component (35) is fixed to a fixed section of the transformable toy. The first component (35) and the second component (37) are connected by a slide type connecting mechanism. The second component (37) is fitted in the first component (35). The second to fourth components (37-41) are connected by a rotary type connecting mechanism. All or most of the second to fourth components (37-41) are received in the first component (35).Type: GrantFiled: December 17, 2004Date of Patent: December 23, 2008Assignee: Konami Digital Entertainment Co., Ltd.Inventors: Shinichi Hanamoto, Koji Okamoto, Ryosuke Toriyama, Shinya Saito, Motokazu Shibasaki, Hachitaro Sato

Patent number: 7445538Abstract: To provide an assembly unit for a toy capable of storing unused engaging section in a part unit thereof. An arm part (13) of the toy comprises a rotating member (50) rotating about a rotating shaft (55) provided in the body (14) thereof. The rotating member (50) has an engaging section (53), which is used for connecting the rotating member to a second part unit (23), which is connected to the arm part (13), and a hand (necessary member) (51). When a separate member (23) is connected to the arm part (13), the hand 51 is stored in the body 14 and the engaging section (53) is exposed to the outside of the body (14). When the separate member (23) is not connected to the arm part (13), the engaging section (53) is stored in the body (14) and the hand (51) is exposed to the outside of the body (14).Type: GrantFiled: December 17, 2004Date of Patent: November 4, 2008Assignee: Konami Digital Entertainment Co., Ltd.Inventors: Shinichi Hanamoto, Koji Okamoto, Ryosuke Toriyama, Shinya Saito, Motokazu Shibasaki, Hachitaro Sato

Patent number: 7331841Abstract: 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.Type: GrantFiled: May 18, 2004Date of Patent: February 19, 2008Assignee: Konami Digital Entertainment Co., Ltd.Inventors: Koji Okamoto, Ryosuke Toriyama, Shinya Saito, Shinichi Hanamoto
