DEFORMABLE TOY
A deformable toy includes: a deformable surrounding wall defining an enclosed space therein and having a foldable portion and an invertable portion; and a decorative piece connected to the invertable portion. The invertable portion is concave relative to the foldable portion so as to cooperate with the foldable portion to define a first recess to receive the decorative piece therein when the foldable portion is disposed at a non-folded state and the invertable portion is disposed at a non-inverted state. The foldable portion defines a second recess, the invertable portion is convex relative to the foldable portion to protrude outwardly of the second recess from the foldable portion, and the decorative piece is disposed outwardly of the second recess when the foldable portion is disposed at a folded state and the invertable portion is disposed at an inverted state.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION1. Field of the Invention
This invention relates to a deformable toy.
2. Description of the Related Art
A conventional deformable toy as shown in
Therefore, the object of the present invention is to provide a deformable toy that can overcome the aforesaid drawback of the prior art.
According to this invention, a deformable toy includes: a deformable surrounding wall defining an enclosed space therein and having a foldable portion and an invertable portion extending from the foldable portion and surrounded by the foldable portion, the foldable portion being foldable from a non-folded state to a folded state, the invertable portion being invertable from a non-inverted state to an inverted state and being automatically restorable from said inverted state to said non-inverted state, the invertable portion being disposed at the non-inverted state when the foldable portion is disposed at the non-folded state, and being disposed at the inverted state when the foldable portion is disposed at the folded state; and a decorative piece connected to the invertable portion. The invertable portion is concave relative to the foldable portion so as to cooperate with the foldable portion to define a first recess to receive the decorative piece when the foldable portion is disposed at the non-folded state and the invertable portion is disposed at the non-inverted state. The foldable portion defines a second recess, the invertable portion is convex relative to the foldable portion to protrude outwardly of the second recess from the foldable portion, and the decorative piece is disposed outwardly of the second recess when the foldable portion is disposed at the folded state and the invertable portion is disposed at the inverted state.
Other features and advantages of the present invention will become apparent in the following detailed description of the preferred embodiment of this invention, with reference to the accompanying drawings, in which:
Referring to
The foldable portion 212 is foldable from a non-folded state (see
Specifically, as shown in
Preferably, the deformable toy 2 further includes a retaining recess 217 provided on the deformable surrounding wall 21. As shown in
In this invention, the deformable toy 2 further includes a key-ring 24 provided on the deformable surrounding wall 21.
According to the present invention, the deformable toy 2 can be automatically restored back to the original state so as to provide added convenience and amusing effect.
While the present invention has been described in connection with what is considered the most practical and preferred embodiment, it is understood that this invention is not limited to the disclosed embodiment but is intended to cover various arrangements included within the spirit and scope of the broadest interpretation and equivalent arrangements.
Claims
1. A deformable toy comprising:
- a deformable surrounding wall defining an enclosed space therein and having a foldable portion and an invertable portion extending from said foldable portion and surrounded by said foldable portion, said foldable portion being foldable from a non-folded state to a folded state, said invertable portion being invertable from a non-inverted state to an inverted state and being automatically restorable from said inverted state to said non-inverted state, said invertable portion being disposed at the non-inverted state when said foldable portion is disposed at the non-folded state, and being disposed at the inverted state when said foldable portion is disposed at the folded state; and
- a decorative piece connected to said invertable portion;
- wherein said invertable portion is concave relative to said foldable portion so as to cooperate with said foldable portion to define a first recess to receive said decorative piece therein when said foldable portion is disposed at the non-folded state and said invertable portion is disposed at the non-inverted state; and
