[0097] (Implementation Method 1)

[0098] First, based on Figures 1 to 3B Embodiment 1 of the present invention will be described. Figure 1 1 is a diagram showing the entirety of an ice cream toy 1. The ice cream toy 1 is a toy that can be played by imitating the act of transporting ice cream with a spoon and placing it in a cone-shaped cone.

[0099] The ice cream toy 1 has a model body 2 imitating ice cream, a spoon toy 3, and a carrier 4 imitating an ice cream cone. In the ice cream toy 1 of the present embodiment, the model body 2 is about 10 mm in size, and the spoon toy 3 is about 40 mm in length. Therefore, the ice cream toy 1 can also be used together with a small doll toy or the like. The model body 2 is formed to imitate the outer shape of ice cream, and has a spherical portion 21 and a grounding portion 22. The grounding portion 22 is formed in the shape of a flange bulging around the outer circumference. In addition, the grounding portion 22 has a circularly recessed recess 221 on the lower surface side opposite to the spherical portion 21 (see Figure 3A ).

[0100] The ice cream toy 1 has a tray 5 in the shape of a long rectangular flat plate. The tray 5 has a loading portion 51 surrounded by a roughly circular annular protruding wall on the upper surface, a circular opening 52 that penetrates in the plate thickness direction, and a receiving portion 53 that can accommodate a plurality of decorative bodies 6 that imitate decorative materials. The loading portion 51 (51a, 51b, 51c), the opening 52, and the receiving portion 53 are arranged in two rows on the upper surface of the tray 5. In one row, six loading portions 51a are continuously arranged in a manner that the loading surfaces 511 are connected to each other. In the other row, in the longitudinal direction of the tray 5, the opening 52, the loading portion 51c, the receiving portion 53, and the loading portion 51b are arranged in the order of the opening 52, the loading portion 51c, the receiving portion 53, and the loading portion 51b. Two loading portions 51b are continuously arranged in a manner that the loading surfaces 511 are connected to each other. In addition, like the loading portion 51b, two loading portions 51c are continuously arranged in a manner that the loading surfaces (not shown) are connected to each other. The opening 52 allows the object 4 formed in a conical shape to be inserted from the top 41 side, and can accommodate the object 4 while supporting it.

[0101] like Figure 2A , Figure 2B , Figure 3A as well as Figure 3BAs shown in the figure, the spoon toy 3 includes: a hemispherical receiving portion 31 whose inner side is hollow; and a long handle portion 32 connected to the outer side of the receiving portion 31. The spoon toy 3 of this embodiment is made of a resin material. In the following description of the spoon toy 3, the end 325 side of the handle portion 32 is set as the rear, the opposite side, that is, the end 314 side of the receiving portion 31 is set as the front, the left side viewed from the rear is set as the left, and the opposite side is set as the right. In addition, the convex side of the receiving portion 31 is set as the top of the spoon toy 3, and the opposite side is set as the bottom of the spoon toy 3.

[0102] The gripping portion 32 has upper and lower left and right side surfaces 321 to 324, which are formed into a prism shape extending from the side of the housing portion 31 to the rear. The upper side surface 321 on the convex side of the housing portion 31 and the lower side surface 322 on the concave side of the housing portion 31 are set to be substantially parallel and flat. In addition, the left side surface 323 and the right side surface 324 have substantially parallel surfaces, namely, a flat portion 323a and a flat portion 324a, on the side of the rear end 325. In addition, the left and right widths of the left side surface 323 and the right side surface 324 are formed to decrease as they go forward by the inclined portions 323b and 324b provided on the side of the housing portion 31. A plurality of ribs extending in the up-down direction are provided on the surface of the inclined portions 323b and 324b. A plurality of the ribs are arranged in the inclined portions 323b and 324b in a front-back manner. The inclined portions 323b and 324b are connected to the housing portion 31 via the inclined portions 323c and 324c. The inclined portions 323c and 324c are formed so that the left and right widths increase toward the front when viewed from above. The inclined portions 323b and 324b are connected to the inclined portions 323c and 324c in a concave curved surface. In addition, the end portion 325 on the rear side of the grip portion 32 is provided in a semicircular arc surface that is convexly curved from the left side 323 to the right side 324 when viewed from above.

[0103] In addition, the spoon toy 3 has a front-to-back long slit 33 in the range from the accommodating portion 31 to the gripping portion 32. The slit 33 is an opening that penetrates in the up-down direction at the approximate center of the spoon toy 3 in the left-right direction. The slit 33 includes a narrow front portion 331 and a rear portion 332 that is wider than the front portion 331. The front portion 331 is provided from the accommodating portion 31 to a portion of the gripping portion 32 (specifically, a portion of the gripping portion 32 where the inclined portions 323b and 324b are provided), and is formed with a substantially parallel slit width. Figure 3B As shown, one end 33a of the front portion 331 of the slit 33 is located closer to the front end 314 (opposite to the grip 32) than the bottom 313 of the accommodating portion 31 (i.e., the top viewed from the convex surface of the accommodating portion 31).

[0104] The rear portion 332 is connected to the rear side of the front portion 331 in the gripping portion 32. The rear portion 332 is arranged in a long strip in the front-to-back direction when viewed from above. Most of the inner surfaces of the rear portion 332 that are opposite to each other on the left and right sides are arranged roughly parallel. The other end 33b of the slit 33 on the rear side opposite to the one end 33a on the front side is formed as an inner surface that is roughly parallel to the outer side surface of the rear side of the gripping portion 32, that is, the end 325. Therefore, the inner surface on the side of the one end 33b of the rear portion 332 is arranged to be semicircular in a top view.

[0105] The storage part 31 has an inner wall 311 formed in a concave curved surface shape of a hemisphere, and an elastic deformation part 312 formed in a part of the inner wall 311 facing each other on the left and right. The spoon toy 3 is formed in a double-armed leaf spring shape with the front end 314 side and the rear end 325 side as fulcrums by the slit 33 formed in the storage part 31 and the grip part 32, and is deformable in the left and right directions. The aforementioned inclined parts 323b, 324b or flat parts 323a, 324a function as a force point, i.e., an operating part, and the inner walls 311 on both sides of the storage part 31 function as an action point, i.e., an elastic deformation part 312. In the spoon toy 3, since the elastic deformation part 312 is a part of the inner wall 311, the inner wall 311 and the elastic deformation part 312 are arranged facing the inner side of the storage part 31, i.e., the concave curved surface.

[0106] The elastic deformation portion 312 located on the left-right side of the inner wall 311 relative to the bottom 313 has a rib-shaped protrusion 312a protruding toward the inner side of the accommodating portion 31 (the opposite surface side of the inner wall 311) (see also Figure 3A ) Two protrusions 312 a are provided on each of the left and right elastic deformation portions 312 , and the protrusions 312 a extend in parallel with each other in the up-down direction from the edge 31 a of the accommodation portion 31 toward the bottom 313 side.

[0107] Next, an operation example of using the spoon toy 3 to transport the model body 2 is described. First, the user holds the grip 32 of the spoon toy 3 and covers the storage portion 31 with the Figure 1 The spoon toy 3 of this embodiment has a front-to-back length of about 40 mm, so the user can move it by pinching the grip 32 with two fingers, for example. Figure 3A As shown, the inner diameter (or internal space) of the accommodating portion 31 including the protrusion 312a is formed to be larger than the diameter (or larger internal space) of the held portion of the model body 2, namely the spherical portion 21, and the model body 2 is loosely fitted in the accommodating portion 31.

[0108] In a state where the model body 2 is arranged in the storage portion 31, when the left side 323 and the right side 324 (for example, the portion where the inclined portions 323b and 324b of the ribs are provided) of the spoon toy 3 are brought close to each other, Figure 2A When an external force is applied in the inner direction A1 (holding direction), the portion (e.g., the inclined portions 323b, 324b) where the external force is applied functions as a force point, and the front and rear ends 314, 325 (or one end 33a, 33b) function as a fulcrum, so that the left and right portions of the spoon toy 3 that are opposed to each other across the slit 33 bend in a direction of approaching each other. Therefore, in the storage portion 31 of the spoon toy 3, according to the principle of the second lever, the elastic deformation portion 312 located between the portion (e.g., the inclined portions 323b, 324b) where the external force is applied and the front end 314 (or one end 33a) becomes a point of action, and the opposing elastic deformation portions 312 move toward each other. Figure 3A The model body 2 is elastically deformed in the inner direction A2 (holding direction). As a result, the model body 2 is clamped and held in the accommodating portion 31.

[0109] Furthermore, when the operation is performed by pinching the inclined portions 323 b and 324 b , the force point is located substantially in the middle of the slit 33 extending forward and backward, so that the model body 2 can be held with a light force.

[0110] In addition, since the elastic deformation portion 312 has a protrusion 312a, even if the surface of the model body 2 has a complex shape (for example, a concave-convex structure is provided on the spherical portion 21, the size of the model body 2 is not fixed, etc.), the model body 2 can be prevented from sliding and can be held stably.

[0111] Then, the model body 2 held by the spoon toy 3 is placed on the object 4. The model body 2 can be stably placed on the object 4 by engaging the concave portion 221 with the convex portion 42. Figure 3A When an external force in the inner direction A1 is applied, the left and right parts of the spoon toy 3 that are opposite to each other through the slit 33 of the gripping portion 32 move toward the outer direction B1 (opening direction) separated by elastic force to eliminate the deflection, and the elastic deformation portion 312 also moves toward the separated outer direction B2 (opening direction) on the side opposite to the inner direction A2. As a result, the grip of the model body 2 by the elastic deformation portion 312 is released.

[0112] In this way, the accommodating portion 31 is configured to include a point of action of the elastic deformation portion 312 and a fulcrum of the elastic deformation portion 312 by utilizing the slit 33. In addition, by deforming the elastic deformation portion 312 by utilizing an external force applied to an operating portion (the left side surface 323 and the right side surface 324 in this embodiment) as a force point, it is possible to operate the holding or non-holding of the model body 2. When an external force is applied in a manner that reduces the width of the slit 33 on the holding portion 32 side, the operating portion is provided on the outer side surface (the left side surface 323 and the right side surface 324) that moves the elastic deformation portion 312 toward the inner side of the accommodating portion 31, so that the holding or non-holding of the model body 2 can be easily operated in a state of holding the spoon toy 3. Therefore, the ice cream toy 1 that can easily move the model body 2 can be configured with a simple structure.

[0113] (Implementation Method 2)

[0114] Next, based on Figure 4A , Figure 4B , Figure 5A as well as Figure 5B , the second embodiment of the present invention is described. The spoon toy 7 includes: a hemispherical receiving portion 71 whose inner side is hollow; and a long holding portion 72 connected to the outer side of the receiving portion 71. The spoon toy 7 of this embodiment is made of a resin material. In addition, in the description of the spoon toy 7, the end 725 side of the holding portion 72 is also set as the back, the opposite side, that is, the end 714 side of the receiving portion 71 is set as the front, the left side viewed from the back is set as the left, and the opposite side is set as the right. In addition, the convex side of the receiving portion 71 is set as the top of the spoon toy 7, and the opposite side is set as the bottom.

[0115] The spoon toy 7 of the second embodiment is similar to the spoon toy 3, and is configured to have a front-to-back length of about 40 mm. The grip portion 72 has upper, lower, left, and right side surfaces 721 to 724, and is formed in a prism shape extending from the side of the receiving portion 71 to the rear. The upper side surface 721 on the convex side of the receiving portion 71 and the lower side surface 722 on the concave side of the receiving portion 71 are provided in a substantially parallel flat shape. In addition, the left side surface 723 and the right side surface 724 have substantially parallel surfaces, namely, a flat portion 723a and a flat portion 724a, on the rear end portion 725 side.

[0116] In addition, the left and right widths of the left side 723 and the right side 724 are formed to be reduced as they go forward due to the inclined portions 723b and 724b provided on the side of the accommodating portion 71. The inclined portions 723b and 724b are connected to the accommodating portion 71 via the inclined portions 723c and 724c. The inclined portions 723c and 724c are formed to be widened as they go forward when viewed from above. The inclined portions 723b and 724b and the inclined portions 723c and 724c are connected in a concave curved surface shape. In addition, the end portion 725 on the rear side of the gripping portion 72 is provided in a semicircular arc surface shape that is convexly curved from the left side 723 to the right side 724 when viewed from above.

[0117] In addition, the holding portion 72 has an opening portion 74 that passes through from top to bottom on the rear side corresponding to the flat portions 723a, 724a. The opening portion 74 is arranged in a long strip in the front-to-back direction when viewed from above. The left and right opposing inner surfaces of the opening portion 74 are arranged approximately in parallel. One end portion 741 on the rear side of the opening portion 74 is formed as an inner surface that is approximately parallel to the outer side surface, i.e., the end portion 725, on the rear side of the holding portion 72. Therefore, the inner surface on the side of the one end portion 741 of the opening portion 74 is semicircular when viewed from above. In addition, one end portion 742 on the front side of the opening portion 74 is located near the boundary between the aforementioned flat portions 723a, 724a and the inclined portions 723b, 724b.

[0118] The spoon toy 7 has a slit 73 that is symmetrically arranged in a substantially U-shaped manner in the receiving portion 71. The slit 73 is an opening portion that has a substantially parallel slit width throughout the entire length of the receiving portion 71 and penetrates in the up-down direction. The slit 73 includes a curved portion 731 that is curved in an arc shape and left and right straight portions 732 that are connected to both ends of the curved portion 731. The curved portion 731 is arranged on the rear side in a convex arc shape. In addition, the curved portion 731 is arranged around the bottom 713 of the inner wall 711 of the receiving portion 71 over a range of more than 180 degrees (for example, about 220 degrees). The curved portion 731 is connected to the straight portion 732 at a position closer to the front side than the bottom 713. In addition, the left and right straight portions 732 are arranged in a substantially parallel manner to each other.

[0119] The storage part 71 has an inner wall 711 provided in a concave curved surface shape of a hemisphere and an elastic deformation part 712 provided on a part of the bottom 713 side of the inner wall 711. The elastic deformation part 712 of the spoon toy 7 is configured as a cantilever leaf spring with the front base 712a (end 714) side as a fulcrum by the slit 73 provided in the storage part 71 and can be deformed in the up and down directions. The elastic deformation part 712 is provided in a long plate shape along the front and back of the spherical curve. The short cylindrical protrusion 712b provided on the outer side of the storage part 71 corresponding to the bottom 713 functions as an operating part of a force point, and the widened part 712c located at the rear end of the elastic deformation part 712, which has a slightly wider left and right width than the base 712a side, functions as a point of action on the bottom 713 side. In the spoon toy 7, the inner wall 711 and the elastic deformation part 712 are also arranged facing the concave curved surface as the inner side of the storage part 71.

[0120] In addition, a protrusion 711a is provided on the edge 71a side slightly behind the inner wall 711 in the left-right direction. The protrusion 711a has a flat surface 711b facing the normal direction on the inner side of the housing 71 (see also FIG. 1 ). Figure 4B Therefore, the inner diameter (diameter of the inscribed circle) of the accommodation portion 71 is slightly reduced on the edge portion 71a side where the protrusion 711a is provided.

[0121] Next, an operation example of using the spoon toy 7 to transport the model body 2 is described. First, the user holds the grip 72 of the spoon toy 7 and covers the storage portion 71 with the Figure 1 The model body 2 shown (refer to Figure 5B The inner diameter (or inner space) of the housing 71 including the protrusion 711a is formed to be equal to the outer diameter of the spherical portion 21 of the model body 2 to be held, and the model body 2 is engaged or fitted in the housing 71. Therefore, the spoon toy 7 is in a state of holding the model body 2.

[0122] Since the inner wall 711 of the accommodating portion 71 has the protrusion 711a, similar to the spoon toy 3, even if the surface of the model body 2 has a complex shape (for example, a concave-convex structure is provided on the spherical portion 21, the size of the model body 2 is not fixed, etc.), the model body 2 can be prevented from sliding and can be stably held.

[0123] After that, the model body 2 held by the spoon toy 7 is placed on the object 4 or the like. The model body 2 can be stably placed on the object 4 by engaging the concave portion 221 with the convex portion 42. Furthermore, if an external force is applied in the inner direction C (release direction) of the receiving portion 71 side in such a manner as to press down the protrusion 712b of the receiving portion 71 of the spoon toy 7, the protrusion 712b that applies the external force functions as a force point, the base 712a (or the end 714) functions as a fulcrum, and the end portion (widened portion 712c) side of the elastic deformation portion 712 serves as an action point and is bent toward the inner side of the receiving portion 71 due to elastic deformation (that is, the force point and the action point of the elastic deformation portion 712 are located at approximately the same position).

[0124] When the inward direction C( Figure 5B ), the terminal end of the elastic deformation portion 712 moves toward the outer direction D due to the elastic force and releases the deflection based on the elastic deformation.

[0125] In this way, the accommodating portion 71 is configured by using the slit 73 to include a point of action of the elastic deformation portion 712 and a fulcrum of the elastic deformation portion 712. In addition, by deforming the elastic deformation portion 712 by using an external force applied to the operating portion (the protrusion 712b in this embodiment) as a force point, it is possible to operate the holding or non-holding of the model body 2. The above-mentioned operating portion is provided on the outer side surface of the accommodating portion 71 in such a manner that the elastic deformation portion 712 moves toward the inner side of the accommodating portion 71 when an external force is applied. Therefore, the holding or non-holding of the model body 2 can be easily operated in the state of holding the spoon toy 7 (for example, by operating the operating portion with other fingers while holding the holding portion 72 with two fingers). Therefore, in the second embodiment, it is also possible to constitute an ice cream toy that can easily move the model body 2 with a simple structure.

[0126] The embodiments of the present invention are described above, but the present invention is not limited to the above embodiments and can be implemented in various ways. For example, in this embodiment, the model body 2 imitating ice cream is used as an example for description, but it is not limited to this, and the model body 2 can also be composed of other foods such as mushrooms and potato salad.

[0127] In addition, the mounted object 4 is constructed in imitation of an ice cream cone, but may be constructed in imitation of a container such as a cup or a box.

[0128] In addition, the spoon toys 3 and 7 of this embodiment can be used as other gripping tools that can grip or hold the model body 2 and move it.

[0129] According to the above-described embodiment of the present invention, it is possible to provide a spoon toy and a grip according to the following aspects.

[0130] The spoon toy according to the first aspect comprises: a storage portion including an inner wall capable of holding a model body imitating food; an elastic deformation portion capable of holding or not holding the model body by elastically deforming a part of the inner wall; and an operation portion for deforming the elastic deformation portion using an external force.

[0131] According to this structure, the size of the model body 2 can be set according to the size of the storage portion 31, 71, so that the spoon toy 3, 7 can be easily transported, thereby preventing the model body 2 from being restricted in design or deteriorating in appearance.

[0132] In the spoon toy according to the second aspect, the housing portion is arranged such that the inner wall and the elastic deformation portion face a concave curved surface.

[0133] According to this structure, the elastic deformation part 312, 712 which can operate the holding or non-holding of the model body 2 can be provided integrally with the accommodation part 31, 71.

[0134] In the spoon toy according to the third aspect, the inner wall has a protrusion that protrudes toward the opposing surface side of the inner wall.

[0135] According to this configuration, even if the surface of the model object 2 has a complicated shape, the model object 2 can be stably grasped.

[0136] In the spoon toy according to the fourth aspect, the housing portion has a slit constituting a point of action of the elastic deformation portion and a fulcrum of the elastic deformation portion.

[0137] According to this configuration, the elastic deformation portion 312 , 712 can be provided on the spoon toys 3 , 7 with a simple configuration.

[0138] The spoon toy according to the fifth aspect includes a grip portion disposed continuously with the housing portion, and the slit is provided across from the housing portion 31 to the grip portion 32 .

[0139] According to this structure, the elastic deformation part 312 can be operated by applying an external force to the grip part 32 of the grip spoon toy 3 in the inner direction A1 so as to bring the left and right side surfaces 323 and 324 closer together. Therefore, the model body 2 can be transported by a simple operation.

[0140] In the spoon toy according to the sixth aspect, the housing portion is formed in a hemispherical concave curved surface shape, and one end portion of the slit is located on the opposite side of the grip portion from the bottom of the housing portion.

[0141] According to this structure, the part that becomes the fulcrum of elastic deformation can be set forward, so that the elastic deformation part 312 for holding the model body 2 can be located inside the accommodating part 31 (in the first embodiment, the position of the inner wall 311 on the left and right side of the bottom 313).

[0142] In the spoon toy according to the seventh aspect, the operating portion is provided on an outer side surface of the grip portion, and the grip portion moves the elastic deformation portion toward the inside of the accommodation portion when an external force is applied to the grip portion so as to reduce the width of the slit on the grip portion side.

[0143] According to this structure, the model body 2 can be easily controlled to be held or not held while the spoon toy 3 is being held.

[0144] In the spoon toy according to the eighth aspect, the operation portion is located in a middle portion in the longitudinal direction of the slit.

[0145] According to this structure, since the force point of the elastic deformation portion 312 is located substantially in the middle of the slit 33, the model body can be gripped with a light force.

[0146] In the spoon toy involved in the ninth embodiment, the housing portion is configured to be a hemispherical concave curved surface, the slit is configured to be U-shaped around the bottom of the housing portion, the elastic deformation portion is formed by the slit into a cantilever leaf spring shape that can deform toward the inside of the housing portion, and the operating portion is disposed on the outer side surface of the elastic deformation portion near the bottom of the housing portion.

[0147] According to this structure, the operating portion is arranged on the outer side surface of the accommodating portion 71 in such a manner that the elastic deformation portion 712 moves toward the inner side of the accommodating portion 71 when an external force is applied. Therefore, the model body 2 can be easily operated to be held or not held in the state of holding the spoon toy 7 (for example, by operating the operating portion with other fingers while holding the holding portion 72 with two fingers).

[0148] The holding device involved in the tenth embodiment comprises: a accommodating portion, which includes: an inner wall, which can hold a model body that simulates food; an elastic deformation portion, which elastically deforms a part of the inner wall to be able to hold or not hold the model body; and an operating portion, which uses external force to operate the elastic deformation portion.

[0149] According to this configuration, the size of the model body 2 can be set according to the size of the storage sections 31 and 71 and can be easily transported by the gripper, so that the model body 2 can be prevented from being restricted in design or from having its appearance impaired.
