  • Patent number: 8388404
    Abstract: A transformable toy, in which exposure of a coupling mechanism is reduced and the turning range of the second exterior member with respect to the first exterior member is increased, is provided. An exterior main body for a shin section covers a part of an intermediate member and has an opening portion at a location opposing a thigh section when the shin section turns toward the thigh section. A movable exterior member, which moves through a link mechanism, is coupled to the intermediate member via the link mechanism, and configured to block the opening portion when it is at a first position and to be at least partially located inside the exterior main body when it is at a second position.

  • Patent number: 8162713
    Abstract: The invention provides a leg member for a transformable toy which prevents impairment of the aesthetic appearance even if the range of motion of a shin section relative to a foot section is increased. A first link member 29 is shaped and configured to cover a circular plate portion 31b constituting the main portion of a second link member 31. When the second link member 31 is rotated about the rotation center (axial center of a shaft portion 29i) of the second turning pair, portions (31c and 31d) forming a third turning pair in the second link member 31 are exposed to the outside of the first link member 29.
