Detailed Implementation

[0015] Embodiments of this disclosure will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings. Figure 1 This is a view showing a doll-playing toy 1 that imitates an underwater castle, viewed from the front. The doll-playing toy 1 includes a doll-playing body 5, which includes a plate-like base 2 placed on a floor or similar surface and a support body 3 mounted on the base 2. The support body 3 includes a central support plate 31 formed to a height, and a first play section 100, serving as a play section, is provided on top of the central support plate 31. The first play section 100 is detachably equipped with a boat 120 including a balloon section 110. Below the first play section 100, the support body 3 includes a gate 3a, steps 3b, and seaweed 3c, all imitating a castle, at predetermined positions. In the doll-playing toy 1, the portion below a rippled wave section 130 at the central top of the support body 3, where the boat 120 is placed, simulates a castle on a beach. The doll-playing toy 1 is designed to be played with dolls (not shown) whose height is less than the height of the gate 3a, for example, dolls (not shown) that are approximately 2 / 3 the height of the gate 3a.

[0016] like Figure 1As shown, the second game section 200 is located on the upper part of the pillar 32 on the left side of the supporting main body 3, and the third game section 300 is located on the upper part of the branch-shaped support 33 extending in a tree-like shape on the right side of the supporting main body 3. The second game section 200 includes a rotating body 210 and three suspension bodies 220 hanging from the rotating body 210, on which a doll can be placed. The rotating body 210 is a game section that can be manually rotated and the user can enjoy the game by swinging the suspension body 220 on which the doll is placed. The third game section 300 includes a rotating body 320, which is provided with three doll holders 310 in the form of a crab, a dolphin, and a fish. The doll holders 310 can hold the doll. By holding the doll in the doll holder 310 and manually rotating the rotating body 320, the user can play the carousel in the third game section 300.

[0017] Next, we will refer to Figures 2 to 7 The second game section 200, which is the main part of this disclosure, is described in detail. Figure 2 The shaft portion 230 is shown at the top of the support column 32 of the supporting body 3. The bearing portion 211 of the rotating body 210 (see...) Figure 3 It can be rotatably engaged with the shaft 230.

[0018] The shaft portion 230 has a cross-shaped leg 233, which stands upright in a cross shape via a disc-shaped portion 232 protruding from a flat surface portion 231 formed at the top of the support column 32. The cross-shaped leg 233 includes plate portions 233a and 233b perpendicular to each other. The upper surfaces 233a1 and 233b1 of the plate portions 233a and 233b are formed into a convex arc shape with the intersection as the top. The outer peripheral surfaces 233a2 of the plate portion 233a are provided at two positions facing each other, and the outer peripheral surfaces 233b2 of the plate portion 233b are provided at two positions facing each other, and the outer peripheral surfaces 233a2 and 233b2 are formed into a convex arc shape in the top view. The shaft support point portion 234 is provided at the portion where the plate portions 233a and 233b of the cross-shaped leg 233 intersect each other. The upper surface of the shaft support point portion 234 is formed into a generally convex spherical shape.

[0019] Figure 3 This is a perspective view of the rotating body 210 from below. The rotating body 210 is formed in an umbrella shape, with a decorative opening that extends from the outer surface to the inner surface, and a shell-shaped decorative piece 218 is provided at the upper center of the outer surface (see...). Figure 1 and Figure 4 A cylindrical bearing portion 211 is provided at the center of the inner surface side. The bearing portion 211 includes a cylindrical portion 211a and a concave spherical shaft-supported portion 211b that serves as the bottom of the cylindrical portion 211a.

[0020] like Figure 4As shown, the cross-shaped leg 233 is inserted into the cylindrical portion 211a of the bearing portion 211. The bearing portion 211 is rotatably supported by the shaft portion 230, and the rotating body 210 is capable of rotating about the axis of the bearing portion 211. More specifically, the generally convex spherical upper surface of the shaft support point portion 234 abuts against the generally concave spherical shaft-supported surface portion 211b to support the rotating body 210. Furthermore, the end edge portion 211a1, which is the end portion of the cylindrical portion 211a, is provided near or in contact with the flat surface portion 231, so that the end edge portion 211a1 slides in contact with the flat surface portion 231. Thus, the inner peripheral surface of the cylindrical portion 211a slides in contact with the outer peripheral surfaces 233a2 and 233b2 of the cross-shaped leg 233.

[0021] In this way, the rotating body 210 can rotate due to the spherical shaft support point 234 and the shaft-supported surface 211b. Here, the curvature of the convex spherical shape of the shaft support point 234 is greater than the curvature of the concave spherical shape of the shaft-supported surface 211b. Therefore, since the rotating body 210 is supported at a point on the upper surface of the shaft support point 234, the frictional resistance is reduced, and the rotating body 210 can be rotated with a small force. In addition, the end edge 211a1 of the cylindrical part 211a slides in contact with the flat surface 231, and the inner circumferential surface of the cylindrical part 211a slides in contact with the outer circumferential surfaces 233a2 and 233b2 of the cross-shaped leg part 233, so the rotating body 210 can rotate smoothly without vibration.

[0022] Reference Figure 3 Three suspension portions 212 and three protrusions 213 are radially arranged on the inner surface of the rotating body 210 relative to the axis. Each suspension portion 212 has suspension shaft portions 212a and 212b, which face each other at a predetermined interval in the radial direction of rotation of the rotating body 210. The suspension shaft portions 212a and 212b are each formed in a generally columnar shape and arranged such that their axes are located in the radial direction of rotation of the rotating body 210. The lower sides of their facing surfaces are chamfered into a C-shape. The suspension shaft portion 212a is located radially inner in the radial direction of rotation of the rotating body 210, and the suspension shaft portion 212b is located radially outer. Suspension shaft portions 212a and 212b are respectively provided at the ends of plate-shaped suspension shaft support plates 212c and 212d that stand upright from the inner surface of the rotating body 210. Suspension shaft support plates 212c and 212d are supported by ribs 212e and 212f, respectively.

[0023] On the outer side of the suspension portion 212 (radially outer side of the suspension portion 212 in the rotation direction of the rotating body 210), a protrusion 213 is provided corresponding to the suspension portion 212. The protrusion 213 is formed in the shape of an arc plate.

[0024] like Figure 5 As shown, the suspension body 220 includes a basket-shaped doll placement section 222 and an umbrella-shaped abutment section 223. The doll placement section 222 includes a base plate 222a, side plates 222b and 222c that stand upright from the base plate 222a facing each other, and a back plate 222d that stands upright from the base plate 222a to connect the side plates 222b and 222c. Furthermore, the doll placement section 222 includes an opening / closing door 222e at the position facing the back plate 222d. One end of the opening / closing door 222e is connected to the side plate 222c via a hinge portion 222f to be able to open and close. A frame-shaped opening locking portion 222g is provided at the other end of the opening / closing door 222e, and the opening / closing door 222e can be locked with an impact feel by inserting a protrusion 222b1 of the side plate 222b into the opening locking portion 222g. The doll can be placed on the base plate 222a of the doll placement section 222.

[0025] The suspension connection 221 stands upright approximately at the upper center of the abutment portion 223. The suspension connection 221 is formed in a generally plate-like shape and has a hole 221a. The side plates 222b and 222c of the doll placement portion 222 are connected to the abutment portion 223 by two elongated connecting portions 224 extending upward from the side plates 222b and 222c, respectively.

[0026] like Figure 6 As shown, the suspension connection 221 of the suspension body 220 is inserted into the chamfered portions of the suspension shaft portions 212a and 212b in the suspension portion 212, and the suspension shaft portions 212a and 212b are loosely fitted in the hole portion 221a. Therefore, the suspension body 220 can rotate radially (in the direction of rotation of the rotating body 210) Figure 6 The doll swings left and right (when viewed from the side) and can also swing around the axis of suspension shafts 212a and 212b. That is, due to the rotation of the rotating body 210, from the perspective of the doll facing forward toward the side of the opening and closing door 222e, the suspension body 220 swings left and right and forward and backward while rotating around the axis of shaft 230 (bearing part 211). Therefore, the user can play while imagining that the doll is enjoying a spinning and swinging game.

[0027] Here, the rotating body 210 can be rotated by manually rotating the decorative piece 218. Therefore, when the rotating body 210 rotates violently, as... Figure 7As shown, the end portion of the protrusion 213 abuts against the corresponding portion on the surface of the abutment portion 223, thus limiting the swinging of the suspension body 220 in the radially outward direction of the rotation of the rotating body 210 due to centrifugal force. Therefore, even for infants who have difficulty adjusting the rotation of the rotating body 210, the rotation of the rotating body 210 may stop or the components may be damaged due to collisions between the toy 1 and other components (in this embodiment, the central support plate 31) when the suspension body 220 swings in the radially outward direction of the rotation of the rotating body 210 due to centrifugal force.

[0028] As described above, since the suspension body 220, which swings at least radially in the rotation of the rotating body 210, is unlikely to collide with other components, the second play unit 200 can be positioned close to the central support plate 31 without having to form the doll play toy 1 large to avoid collisions between the swinging suspension body 220 and the central support plate 31. Therefore, design freedom is increased, such as placing the play unit closer to the center, and the design of the doll play toy 1 can be improved.

[0029] Furthermore, since the protrusion 213 of the rotating body 210 is formed into a convex arc plate shape, even when the suspension body 220 swings around the axis of the suspension shafts 212a and 212b, the swinging motion can be enjoyed without restricting the swinging motion.

[0030] According to the embodiments of this disclosure as described above, toys for doll play can be provided in the following aspects.

[0031] According to the first aspect, the toy for doll play includes: a shaft; a rotating body including a bearing portion, a suspension portion, and a protrusion, the bearing portion being supported by the shaft portion to be rotatable about the shaft portion in the circumferential direction of the rotating body, the protrusion being disposed radially outward relative to the suspension portion of the rotating body; and a suspension body including a suspension connection portion, a doll placement portion, and an abutment portion, the suspension connection portion being connected to the suspension portion to enable the suspension body to swing at least in the radial direction, the abutment portion being configured to abut against the protrusion.

[0032] According to this structure, even when the rotating body rotates and the suspended body swings radially outward from the rotation of the rotating body, the swing angle of the suspended body can be appropriately limited, thereby reducing collisions between the suspended body and other play parts, support parts supporting the play parts, etc. Therefore, it is possible to provide a toy for doll play that can be enjoyed by infants who have difficulty adjusting their strength, while reducing damage to parts.

[0033] In the toy for doll play according to the second aspect, the shaft portion includes a cross-shaped leg portion having a cross shape and standing upright from a flat surface portion, the cross-shaped leg portion including an arc-shaped upper surface; and a shaft support point portion protruding from the intersection of the upper surface of the cross-shaped leg portion, the shaft support point portion having a convex spherical shape, and the bearing portion includes: a cylindrical portion including an end edge portion configured to slide in contact with the flat surface portion and an inner peripheral surface configured to slide in contact with the outer peripheral surface of the cross-shaped leg portion; and a shaft-supported surface portion having a concave spherical shape and disposed at the bottom of the cylindrical portion, the shaft-supported surface portion being configured to abut against the shaft support point portion.

[0034] According to this structure, the cylindrical part of the bearing portion of the rotating body is guided along the rotation direction by the outer peripheral surface and flat surface of the cross-shaped leg portion, and the rotating body is supported by the shaft support point of the cross-shaped leg portion of the shaft portion and the bottom ball of the cylindrical part, which can reduce jamming vibration and enable the rotating body to rotate smoothly.

[0035] In the doll play toy according to the third aspect, the suspension part includes a suspension shaft having an axis extending radially, and the suspension connection part has a hole in which the suspension shaft loosely fits.

[0036] According to this structure, the suspended body rotates through a rotating body, while simultaneously swinging in the front-back and left-right directions relative to the doll placed in the suspended body, allowing children to further enjoy the game.

[0037] In the toy for doll play according to the fourth aspect, the doll placement part includes an opening and closing door and is shaped like a basket, the abutment part is shaped like an umbrella, and the suspension connecting part protrudes from the upper center of the abutment part, and the suspension body includes two elongated connecting parts that connect the side of the doll placement part to the abutment part and are elongated in the vertical direction.

[0038] According to this structure, since the suspension body can be formed as a doll placement part that hangs from the abutment part having a shape such as an umbrella via the connecting part, it can further enhance the imaginative scenes when children play with the doll.

[0039] In the doll-playing toy according to the fifth aspect, the shaft portion is provided on the main body of the doll-playing toy, which includes multiple play parts.

[0040] According to this structure, since the play parts, including the rotating body and the suspension body, can be set in the main body of the doll play toy, which includes multiple play parts, the collision between the suspension body and other parts can be reduced, and thus the play parts can be set close to each other, and a doll play toy with a high degree of design freedom can be provided.

[0041] In the doll play toy according to the sixth aspect, the protrusion protrudes downward from the rotating body, and the abutting part is located below the end of the protrusion.

[0042] According to this structure, when the rotating body rotates violently, the end of the protrusion abuts against the abutment, and the swing of the suspension body toward the radially outward direction of the rotating body due to centrifugal force is restricted.

[0043] While embodiments of the present disclosure have been described above, the present disclosure is not limited to the above embodiments and various modifications can be made without departing from the scope of the invention. For example, in this embodiment, three suspension bodies 220 are provided in a rotating body 210, but the number of suspension bodies 220 can be one or more. Furthermore, the suspension bodies 220 can swing only in the front-back direction of the doll to be placed.
