Abstract
A deformable toy deformable from a first form to a second form different from the first form includes: a first component; a second component; a holding mechanism provided in the first component and capable of holding the second component in a first position; and a release mechanism provided in the first component and capable of releasing the second component from the holding mechanism by vibration. The second component released from the holding mechanism by the release mechanism is moved from the first position to a second position different from the first position to deform the deformable toy from the first form to the second form.

A deformable toy deformable from a first form to a second form different from the first form, the deformable toy comprising:
- a first component;
- a second component;
- a holding mechanism provided in the first component and capable of holding the second component in a first position;
- and
- a release mechanism provided in the first component and capable of releasing the second component from the holding mechanism by vibration, wherein
- the second component released from the holding mechanism by the release mechanism is moved from the first position to a second position different from the first position to deform the deformable toy from the first form to the second form,
- the holding mechanism includes a holding part,
- the second component includes a held part held by the holding part,
- the release mechanism moves at least one of the holding part and the held part to release the second component from the holding mechanism,
- the release mechanism includes a first displacement part that is configured to be displaced by vibration,
- the first displacement part is displaced to move at least one of the holding part and the held part, and
- the release mechanism releases the second component from the holding mechanism in response to displacing the first displacement part a plurality of times.
A deformable toy deformable from a first form to a second form different from the first form, the deformable toy comprising:
- a first component;
- a second component;
- a holding mechanism provided in the first component and capable of holding the second component in a first position;
- and
- a release mechanism provided in the first component and capable of releasing the second component from the holding mechanism by vibration, wherein
- the second component released from the holding mechanism by the release mechanism is moved from the first position to a second position different from the first position to deform the deformable toy from the first form to the second form,
- the holding mechanism includes a holding part,
- the second component includes a held part held by the holding part,
- the release mechanism moves at least one of the holding part and the held part to release the second component from the holding mechanism,
- the release mechanism includes a first displacement part that is configured to be displaced by vibration,
- the first displacement part is displaced to move at least one of the holding part and the held part,
- the release mechanism includes a pendulum that vibrates in response to vibration applied to the first component, and rotationally displaces the first displacement part in response to the displacement of the vibration of the pendulum, and
- the release mechanism rotationally displaces the first displacement part in only one direction.
A deformable toy deformable from a first form to a second form different from the first form, the deformable toy comprising:
- a first component;
- a second component;
- a holding mechanism provided in the first component and capable of holding the second component in a first position;
- and
- a release mechanism provided in the first component and capable of releasing the second component from the holding mechanism by vibration, wherein
- the second component released from the holding mechanism by the release mechanism is moved from the first position to a second position different from the first position to deform the deformable toy from the first form to the second form,
- at least a part of the second components is disposed inside the first component,
- an opening is formed in the first component such that an inside of the first component and an outside of the first component communicate,
- at least a part of the second components disposed inside the first component is moved from the inside of the first component to the outside of the first component through the opening in response to the second component being released from the holding mechanism by the release mechanism, and
- the deformable toy further comprises a second displacement part that is displaced in response to movement of the second component from the first position to the second position, wherein
- the second displacement part restricts the second component, which has been moved in response to the deformation, from being moved to the inside of the first component, by coming into contact with a part of the first component at a position after the deformation to the second form.
