Patent ID: 8011992

Claim:
A transformable toy reversibly transformed from a first configuration to a second configuration, comprising: a first base member; a second base member disposed at a predetermined distance from the first base member; a first link member for pivotably connecting a front end portion of the first base member and a front end portion of the second base member; a second link member for pivotably connecting a rear end portion of the first base member and a rear end portion of the second base member; a first elastic member provided at a connecting portion between at least one of the first link member and the second link member and at least one of the first base member and the second base member, one of said link members being urged to pivot by an elastic force of the first elastic member, relative positions of the first base member and the second base member being changed by pivoting of the one of the link members; at least one figure member connected to any or all of the first base member, the second base member, the first link member, and the second link member, the at least one figure member expressing a state differing between the first configuration and the second configuration; and a second elastic member provided at a connecting portion between the figure member and the first base member, the second base member, the first link member, or the second link member, the second elastic member acting against the elastic force of the first elastic member, the second elastic member having an elastic force set to be smaller than the elastic force of said first elastic member, wherein the transformable toy is transformed from the first configuration to the second configuration by using the elastic force of the first elastic member.
