[0003] [Patent Document 1] Japanese Patent Application Publication No. 07-148358 Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0004] Patent Document 1 describes a structure in which the capsule itself is used as a part of a toy. However, when the capsule is used as a part of a toy, the capsule is spherical when sold, so the shape of the toy depends on the spherical shape of the capsule. This makes it difficult to maintain the original image of the character, and depending on the character, the shape of the character changes significantly depending on the capsule shape, causing quality problems for the character itself and making it difficult to maintain its interest. In addition, since the overall shape of the toy itself is basically spherical, there is a problem that the toy is unstable when placed or displayed.

[0005] An object of the present invention is to provide a toy that contributes to maintaining the quality of a character, is easy to display, has a stable feel, and is highly entertaining. [Means for solving the problem]

[0006] The toy of the present invention is a toy that can be transformed into a first form and a second form, and includes a first shell part, a second shell part connectable to the first shell part, and a third shell part connectable to the first shell part and the second shell part, wherein the first shell part and the second shell part are configured to be connected via the third shell part in the first form and to be connected without the third shell part in the second form, and the first shell part, the second shell part, and the third shell part form a first space therein by the first shell part and the third shell part, and a second space therein by the second shell part and the third shell part in the first form. Effect of the Invention

[0007] According to the present invention, a highly entertaining toy can be provided. [Brief description of the drawings]

[0009] (First embodiment) A toy 1 according to a first embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to Fig. 1 to Fig. 10. Fig. 1 is a perspective view of the toy 1 in a first form 1F, and Fig. 2 is an exploded perspective view of the toy 1 in the first form 1F.

[0010] As shown in Fig. 1, the toy 1 in the first form 1F includes a first outer shell part 10 and a second outer shell part 20, and has a substantially spherical shape in appearance. As shown in Fig. 2, the first outer shell part 10 and the second outer shell part 20 both have, for example, hemispherical main body parts 10a, 20a with hemispherical spaces SP inside, and opening edges 10e, 20e forming openings 10h, 20h of both main body parts 10a, 20a are configured to be connectable to each other. Therefore, in the assembled state of the first form 1F, a spherical space SP is formed inside.

[0011] The first outer part 10 and the second outer part 20 are made of, for example, synthetic resin and have appropriate rigidity, and in the spherical first form 1F shown in Fig. 1, they are configured to roll easily and can be supplied and sold from an article supply device. Also, the internal space SP in the first form contains, for example, a secondary part 70 imitating a character or the like as shown in Fig. 2.

[0012] The toy 1 can be transformed into a second form 2F (see FIG. 10) different from the first form 1F. The second form 2F is, for example, a form in which the secondary part 70 housed inside the first form 1F is displayed. The transformation between the first form 1F and the second form 2F is possible by changing the manner in which the ends (opening edges 10e, 20e) of the first part 10 and the second part 20 are connected to each other as described below. The first part 10 and the second part 20 are provided with mounting holes (circular hole 17, rectangular holes 18, 28, and trapezoidal hole 19) that enable the secondary part 70 to be displayed in the second form 2F.

[0013] Fig. 3 is an enlarged perspective view of the first part 10 shown in Fig. 2 as viewed from one end side (the opening edge 10e side). As shown in Fig. 3, the first part 10 is configured with a hemispherical main body 10a with the opening edge 10e on one end side formed in a circular shape. The first part 10 has, for example, two circular holes 17 on the other end side, a rectangular hole 18 between the circular hole 17 and the opening edge 10e, and a trapezoidal hole 19 at a position about 90 degrees away from the rectangular hole 18 along the opening edge 10e. The rectangular hole 18 is not a hole that simply penetrates the main body 10a, but is configured to be surrounded by a hole peripheral wall 18w that protrudes from the inner surface 10is toward the inside of the space SP.

[0014] The opening edge 10e is slightly thinned and has a stepped structure that is recessed toward the outer surface 10us of the main body 10a, and four notched positioning recesses 16c are provided at 90-degree intervals along the circumferential direction. The positioning recesses 16c form a positioning part 16 between themselves and a positioning protrusion 16d on the second part 20 side, which will be described later. The positioning recesses 16c are formed with two different sizes (W1>W2) in the notch width. This is a configuration that determines the orientation of the combination with the positioning protrusion 16d of the second part 20, for example.

[0015] Fig. 4 is an enlarged perspective view of the second part 20 shown in Fig. 2 as viewed from one end side (the opening edge 20e side), and Fig. 5 is an enlarged perspective view of the second part 20 shown in Fig. 4 as viewed from the other end side. As shown in Fig. 4, the second part 20 is configured with a hemispherical main body part 20a in which the opening edge 20e on one end side is formed in a circular shape. The main body part 20a is provided with two rectangular holes 28 at positions corresponding to the rectangular holes 18, but they are not through holes. The rectangular holes 28 are provided with a hole peripheral wall 28w that protrudes toward the inner surface 20is side, similar to the rectangular holes 18.

[0016] The opening edge 20e is formed as a protruding portion 21 protruding toward the outer surface 20us of the main body 20a, and the inner shape of the protruding portion 21 has a stepped structure in which the diameter gradually decreases with two steps and is connected to the inner surface 20is. That is, the opening edge 20e has a larger diameter than the main body 20a, and can be connected to the opening edge 10e of the first part 10, which is larger in size than the main body 20a, and constitutes the first connecting portion 21b in the first form 1F. The opening edge 20e is provided with a positioning protrusion 16d. In the first form 1F, this positioning protrusion 16d is a rectangular protrusion that protrudes from a step 21bd that contacts the opening edge 10e of the first part 10 to the height of the opening edge 20e, and fits into the positioning recess 16c described above to connect and position the first part 10.

[0017] When viewed from the side of the outer surface 20us, as shown in FIG. 5, the protruding portion 21 protrudes from the outer surface 20us at a certain interval, forming a connecting groove 21g between the second part 20 and the outer surface 20us. In the second form 2F, the connecting groove 21g is configured as a second connecting portion 22b that connects to the opening edge 10e of the first part 10. Here, in the second form 2F, the fact that the first part 10 can be connected to the second connecting portion 22b means that the size of the outer surface 20us of the second part 20 fits within the inner surface 10is of the first part 10. In addition, a positioning protrusion 16d that protrudes from the bottom surface of the groove is provided in the connecting groove 21g. In addition, a large number of protrusions 21d are provided around the entire outer circumferential surface of the protruding portion 21.

[0018] Hereinafter, assembly of the toy 1 when changing from the first form 1F to the second form 2F will be described with reference to Figs. FIG. 6 is a perspective view showing an example of a secondary part 70. The secondary part 70 is composed of a figure part 71 in the shape of a specific character, which is a secondary part of a first type; a plate-shaped emblem part 72, which is a secondary part of a second type; and a pair of ear parts 73, which are enlarged ears, which are characteristic parts of a character, as secondary parts of a third type. The figure part 71 is provided with a pair of cylindrical attachment protrusions 71b protruding from the legs of the main body part. The emblem part 72 is provided with an attachment protrusion 72b with a trapezoidal cross section on the back side. The ear parts 73 are provided with an attachment protrusion 73b with a rectangular cross section from the lower end of the main body part of the ears.

[0019] FIG. 7 is a perspective view of the first part 10 being assembled to the other end (outer surface) of the second part 20, and FIG. 8 is a partially cutaway perspective view of the first part 10 assembled to the outside (other end) of the second part 20. After removing the first part 10 and the second part 20 from the state of the first form 1F, as shown in FIG. 7, the second part 20 is turned over to change the faces that face each other, and in this state, the opening edge 10e of the first part 10 is fitted into the second connecting part 22b of the second part 20. At this time, the assembly direction is determined by the positioning part 16 (the positioning recess 16c and the positioning protrusion 16d). By this positioning, the rectangular holes 18 and 28 correspond to each other in the up-down direction, and the two parts 10 and 20 are assembled as shown in FIG. 8.

[0020] In the state where the two parts 10 and 20 are combined, the inner surface 10is of the first part 10 and the outer surface 20us of the second part 20 are combined in a state where they face each other in close proximity with a predetermined gap in the areas other than the protruding part 21, as shown in Fig. 8. The protruding part 21 functions as a mounting part where the opening edge 20e can be placed in contact with the mounting surface 40 in the second form 2F, and further, the protruding part 21 functions as a support part that supports the lower side of the first part 10.

[0021] Fig. 9 is a cross-sectional view of a portion taken along line AA in Fig. 8. As shown in Fig. 9, the rectangular hole 18 of the first part 10 and the rectangular hole 28 of the second part 20 are positioned and assembled as described above to form holes that communicate in the vertical direction. Therefore, as shown in Fig. 9, when attaching the ear part 73 (shown by a dashed line), the attachment protrusion 73b penetrates the main body 10a of the first part 10 and reaches the second part 20. As a result, the ear part 73 is fixed by both the first part 10 and the second part 20.

[0022] Fig. 10 is a perspective view showing the second form 2F of the toy 1. As shown in Fig. 10, the figure part 71 is attached to the circular hole 17, the emblem part 72 is attached to the trapezoidal hole 19, and the ear part 73 is attached to the rectangular hole 18, and they are displayed on the outer surface 10us of the first outer shell part 10. The attachment direction of the figure part 71 is determined, for example, by changing the size of the pair of circular holes 17. The attachment direction of the emblem part 72 is configured so that it can be attached upside down without any mistake due to the shape of the trapezoidal hole 19.

[0023] As described above, the toy 1 of this embodiment can be easily changed between the first shell part 10 and the second shell part 20 in a spherical shape, which can be connected either in a manner that makes the opening sides of both parts face each other, or in a manner that makes the opening sides face the same direction, and can be easily changed between the first form 1F of a spherical shape, which is a sales form, and the second form 2F of a display form. In addition, since both shell parts 10 and 20 in the sales form can be used in the display form, waste of parts can be eliminated.

[0024] In addition, in the toy 1 of this embodiment, since the auxiliary part 70 can be accommodated in the internal space SP in the first form 1A, the auxiliary part 70 can be provided together with the first outer part 10 and the second outer part 20 at the same time.

[0025] In addition, in the toy 1 of this embodiment, the connecting end of the second outer shell part 20 has a first connecting portion 21b and a second connecting portion 22b that have different connecting orientations relative to the connecting portion end (opening edge 10e) of the first outer shell part 10, so that a first connection form 1F using the first connecting portion 21b and a second connection form 2F using the second connecting portion 22b can be obtained.

[0026] In the toy 1 of this embodiment, the connecting end of the second outer shell part 20 is formed as a protruding portion 21 that protrudes outward from the outer surface 20us along the opening edge 20e of the second outer shell part 20, so that it is possible to provide two connecting portions facing in opposite directions on the front and back of the protruding wall of the protruding portion 21.

[0027] Furthermore, since the protruding portion 21 has connecting portions on the front and back sides, the connecting form of the two outer parts 10, 20 can be easily switched by inverting the second outer part 20 relative to the first outer part 10.

[0028] In the toy 1 of this embodiment, the opening edge 20e of the protruding portion 21 forms a virtual plane, so that in the display form (second form 2F), the protruding portion 21 can function as a placement portion that contacts the placement surface 40. In addition, in the display form (second form 2F), with the first outer part 10 placed on the protruding portion 21, the protruding portion 21 functions as a portion for placing and supporting the first outer part 10.

[0029] In the toy 1 of this embodiment, since the second part 20 can be placed inside the first part 10 in the display form (second form 2F), the second part 20 can be stacked inside the first part 10 so that only the connecting end of the second part 20 is visible in the display form. As a result, the color and design of the main body 20a of the second part 20 can be freely arranged and structured without regard to the display form.

[0030] In the toy 1 of this embodiment, the protruding portion 21 has a decorative function in the second form 2F in the exhibition state, since the protruding portion 21 has a plurality of protruding portions 21d on the outer circumferential surface thereof. In addition, the protruding portion 21d acts as a non-slip grip for fingers when removing or fitting the first outer part 10 and the second outer part 20 together, improving ease of handling.

[0031] In the toy 1 of this embodiment, since the inner surface 10is of the first outer shell part 10 and the outer surface 20us of the second outer shell part 20 face each other in the display form, for example, even if the thickness of both outer shell parts 10, 20 is thin, the strength can be reinforced by the double structure. Furthermore, in the case where both outer shell parts 10, 20 are colored and configured to be light-transmitting, when the colors of both outer shell parts 10, 20 are configured to be different, a composite color of both outer shell parts 10, 20 can be created, and the color in the first form 1F and the color in the second form 2F can be changed.

[0032] In the toy 1 of this embodiment, in the second form 2F, the first outer shell part 10 and the second outer shell part 20 are arranged in close proximity with a gap therebetween, so that, for example, the attachment protrusions 71b, 72b penetrating the first outer shell part 10 can be inserted to a greater depth.

[0033] In the toy 1 of this embodiment, in the case of the mounting protrusion 73b that is held by penetrating both outer shell parts 10, 20, the engagement area (effective length of engagement) for the mounting protrusion 73b can be made large. Therefore, even if the main body parts of the first outer shell part 10 and the second outer shell part 20 are thin, they can be held and locked in the same way as when they are deeply inserted into a substantially thick material. For example, even if the ear part 73 is a large part, it can be held and fixed reliably.

[0034] In addition, in the second form 2F of the toy 1 of this embodiment, the attachment protrusion 73b engages with both the first outer part 10 and the second outer part 20, so that the attachment protrusion 73b can firmly fix the first outer part 10 and the second outer part 20 together.

[0035] In the toy 1 of this embodiment, the positioning portion 16 can position the first part 10 and the second part 20 in either the first form 1F or the second form 2F, making it easy to assemble in each state. In addition, by changing the fitting size of the recesses and protrusions in the positioning portion 16, the connecting direction of both parts can be specified to ensure accurate assembly.

[0036] In the toy 1 of this embodiment, the secondary part 70 can be attached to the hemispherical first outer shell part 10 in an exhibition state, giving the impression that the secondary part 70 is attached to a cap-shaped hat. In addition, since the exhibition surface is hemispherical, the figure part 71 can be attached to the top, while the emblem part 72 can be attached to the front side, so that the character figure part 71 and the emblem part 72 related to the character can be simultaneously provided in positions suitable for the exhibition state, thereby improving the quality and dignity of the character's exhibition state.

[0037] Second embodiment A toy 1 according to a second embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to Figures 11 to 18. In this embodiment, the same components as those in the first embodiment are given the same reference numerals, and the description thereof will be omitted as appropriate.

[0038] FIG. 11 is a perspective view of the toy 1 in the first form 1F of the present embodiment, and FIG. 12 is a perspective view showing the disassembled state of the toy 1 shown in FIG. 11. FIG. 13 is a perspective view showing the front side and the back side of the third part 23. As shown in FIG. 11 and FIG. 12, in the present embodiment, the toy 1 in the first form 1F includes the hemispherical first part 10 and the second part 20, as in the first embodiment, and further includes the third part 23 between the first part 10 and the second part 20. The third part 23 is, for example, disc-shaped, and includes a third connecting part 23b on both the front and back sides that can be connected to the opening edge 20e, which is the end of one side (opening side) of the second part 20, and the opening edge 10e, which is the end of one side (opening side) of the first part 10. Therefore, the first part 10 and the second part 20 are connected via the third connecting portion 23b to form the first form 1F.

[0039] As shown in Fig. 13, the third part 23 includes a disk-shaped, substantially flat plate part 23a and a flange-shaped flange part 23f (first wall part, second wall part) surrounding the outer periphery of the plate part 23a. The third connecting part 23b is formed on the front and back of the third part 23 as a corner part where the flange part 23f and the plate part 23a join. That is, in the first form 1F, as shown in Fig. 12, the third connecting part 23b (another connecting part) on the front side 23a (23us, first surface part) of the plate part is connected to the second part 20, and the third connecting part 23b on the back side 23a (23is, second surface part) of the plate part is connected to the first part 10. In addition, the thickness of the flange 23f (first wall) on the flat plate front side 23a is greater than the thickness of the flange 23f (second wall) on the flat plate rear side 23a, so that the surface area of ​​the second surface is greater than the surface area of ​​the first surface. Therefore, the first part 10 is configured so as not to be connectable to the third connecting portion 23b on the flat plate front side 23a, and the second part 20 is configured so as not to be connectable to the third connecting portion 23b on the flat plate rear side 23a, which prevents misconnection with the third part 23 and allows the first part 10 and the second part 20 to be connected appropriately. The third part 23 has two circular holes 23h and one rectangular hole 23i penetrating the flat part 23a, and a pair of fitting protrusions 23g protruding from the back side 23a (23is) of the flat part, and has a structure for holding a paddle part 75 described later. In both the first form 1F and the second form 2F, the fitting protrusions 23g fit into the opening notch 10k provided in the opening edge 10e of the first part 10 so as to close the opening notch 10k (only closes the upper end side of the notch) except for a part of the opening notch 10k.

[0040] In the second form 2F, the first part 10 and the second part 20 are connected so that the outer surface 10us of the first part 10 and the outer surface 20us of the second part 20 face each other (the opening side faces in the opposite direction), as described below. As the fourth connecting portion 24b (one connecting portion, the other connecting portion) for this connection, for example, a hole-shaped end 10t (one connecting portion) which is the end on the other side of the first part 10 and a protruding end 20t (the other connecting portion) which is the end on the other side of the second part 20 are provided. Therefore, the first part 10 and the second part 20 are connected via the fourth connecting portion 24b to form the second form 2F.

[0041] FIG. 14 is a perspective view showing an example of the auxiliary part 70. The auxiliary part 70 is configured such that the first shell part 10 is likened to the side of the hull of a wooden steamship, and the third shell part 23 is likened to the deck, and a character is arranged on the deck. For example, the auxiliary part 70 is configured to include a figure part 74 of a fourth type of auxiliary part in which the figure part 71 in the first embodiment and a ship's rudder are integrated, a pair of paddle parts 75 of a fifth type of auxiliary part, a cabin part 76 of a sixth type of auxiliary part, and the same emblem part 72 as in the first embodiment. The figure part 74 is provided with a rectangular attachment protrusion 74b protruding from the lower end of the ship's rudder. The cabin part 76 is provided with a cylindrical attachment protrusion 76b on its back side. The paddle part 75 is provided with a paddle shaft 75b protruding laterally from its center.

[0042] Hereinafter, the assembly of the toy 1 when changing from the first mode 1F to the second mode 2F of this embodiment will be described with reference to Fig. 15 to Fig. 18. Fig. 15 is a perspective view showing how to attach the fifth type of subsidiary part 75 shown in Fig. 14, and Fig. 16 is a cross-sectional arrow view of a part taken along line BB shown in Fig. 15 in the attached state of the fifth type of subsidiary part 75.

[0043] As shown in Fig. 15, when attaching the first part 10 and the third part 23, the paddle shaft 75b of the paddle part 75 is fitted into the opening notch 10k, and in this state, the fitting protrusion 23g is fitted into the opening notch 10k. As a result, as shown in Fig. 16, the paddle shaft 75b is sandwiched and fixed from above and below by the opening notch 10k and the fitting protrusion 23g. Furthermore, the first part 10 and the third part 23 are fixed together by the fitting of the fitting protrusion 23g.

[0044] Fig. 17 is an exploded perspective view showing how to assemble the second form of each sub-part and each shell part, and Fig. 18 is a perspective view showing the second form 2F of the toy 1 of the second embodiment. As shown in Fig. 17, the protruding end 20t of the second shell part 20 is fitted into the hole end 10t of the first shell part 10, and further, the figure part 74 is attached to the rectangular hole 23i, the emblem part 72 is attached to the trapezoidal hole 19, and the cabin part 76 is attached to the circular hole 23h, so that the toy 1 is displayed in a state where the character resembles the captain of a steamship, as shown in Fig. 18.

[0045] As described above, according to the toy 1 of this embodiment, in the second form 2F, the first outer shell part 10 and the second outer shell part 20 are connected by the fourth connecting part 24b so that their outer surfaces face each other, so that the height of the display state can be increased.

[0046] According to the toy 1 of this embodiment, the internal space formed in the first form 1F can be partitioned by the flat plate portion 23a of the third outer part 23, and a plurality of storage spaces can be provided.

[0047] According to the toy 1 of the present embodiment, the flat plate portion 23a of the third outer part 23 makes the display surface of the subsidiary parts 70 flat in the second form 2F, and the display area can be enlarged, making display easy.

[0048] According to the toy 1 of the present embodiment, the auxiliary part 70 can be attached by combining the fitting protrusion 23g of the third part 23 with the opening notch 10k of the first part 10, so that the auxiliary part 70 can be attached to the side surface side of the third part 23, not the flat surface side. In addition, the fitting protrusion 23g and the opening notch 10k can fix the third part 23 and the first part 10. Furthermore, when the paddle shaft 75b is attached to the opening notch 10k, the paddle shaft 75b is not pushed into a hole, so that it can be assembled even if the tip of the paddle shaft 75b has a large diameter. As a result, it is also possible to adopt a structure in which the paddle part 75 is assembled to the first part 10 in a rotatable state.

[0049] Although the embodiment of the present invention has been described above, the present invention can be modified as appropriate within the scope of its technical concept.
