[0042] Figure 1 A side view and a top view are shown in one manner representing the object article of the toy of the present invention. Figure 1 (a) is a side view before the color change. Figure 1 (b) is a top view before the color change. Figure 1 (c) is the side view after the color change. Figure 1 (d) is the top view after the color change.

[0043] like Figure 1 As shown in (a) and (b), the object of toy 1 is a shape that imitates the flower 10. The flower 10 has a stamen 11a in the central part of the flower 10, a corolla 11b, and a support portion 15 that imitates the stem. The corolla 11b has multiple petals (six petals in this embodiment) surrounding the stamen 11a, and the support portion 15 has leaves 15b, etc. Moreover, the flower 10 is configured such that at least a part of its color can change color according to temperature changes. For example, as a color-changing area, a color-changing display portion 11 is provided on the upper side 10u of the flower 10. This color-changing display portion 11 is composed of the corolla 11b and the stamen 11a, and at least one of the corolla 11b and the stamen 11a constitutes a color-changing area E1. Regarding the color-changing area E1 in this embodiment, as follows... Figure 1 As shown in (c) and (d), the corolla 11b is configured as the changing region E1, and the non-changing region E2, which cannot change color, is configured as the stamen 11a.

[0044] Here, the temperature-sensitive ink is applied, for example, to the changing area E1, while it is not applied to the non-changing area E2. The color of this temperature-sensitive ink can change according to temperature, and a known temperature-sensitive ink can be used. In this method, the temperature-sensitive ink used is one that becomes colorless (i.e., transparent) in the range of 26°C to 32°C, and displays colors such as yellow, purple, light blue, blue, peach, or red, for example, according to the color of a flower, in the range of 10°C to 16°C, but is not limited to these.

[0045] Furthermore, the upper side 10u of the display change section 11 is, for example, made of white (see reference). Figure 1It consists of (a) and (b). Therefore, at temperatures above the specified temperature (the temperature at which no color change occurs), flower 10 is white.

[0046] Figure 2 This is a perspective view showing the back side of flower 10.

[0047] like Figure 2 As shown, a plurality of protruding ribs 13 are provided on the back side 11d of the display variation section 11. These protruding ribs 13 are structures that protrude in the thickness direction of the display variation section 11, and are arranged radially, for example, from the protruding base 15a of the approximately central portion of the back side 11d connected to the support portion 15 toward the outer periphery 11e of the display variation section 11. Furthermore, the protruding ribs 13 are configured such that their protrusion gradually decreases towards the outer periphery 11e.

[0048] Figure 3 The display base (holding part) for mounting flower 10 is shown. (a) is a perspective view of the display base, and (b) is a front view of the display base.

[0049] like Figure 3 As shown, the toy 1 includes a display base 20 that serves as a holding part for holding the flower 10. The display base 20 has an item holding part 21 whose bottom surface contacts the mounting surface 100, and a character display part 28 that rises substantially vertically from one end (rear side) of the item holding part 21. For example, in the item holding part 21, three item fixing parts 22, 23, and 24 protrude upwards; in the character display part 28, a character 30 is provided on its front side, and a flat area 28a is provided next to the character 30 (on the right side of the figure).

[0050] The article fixing parts 22, 23, and 24 are configured as cylindrical protrusions extending from the bottom surface, each having a mounting hole 22h, 23h, and 24h of the same size (diameter) in its center, allowing the support part 15 of the flower 10 to be inserted into the mounting holes 22h, 23h, and 24h. Furthermore, the article fixing parts 22, 23, and 24 are configured with different protrusion heights relative to the mounting surface 100, and the mounting holes 22h, 23h, and 24h have different depths.

[0051] Additionally, a liquid reservoir 25 is formed around the article fixing portions 22, 23, and 24. This liquid reservoir 25 is in the shape of a recess, and as described later, it can be used when liquid W (see reference) is applied. Figure 12 When storing the liquid W.

[0052] The character display section 28 has a vertical planar structure. Furthermore, a step section 28b protruding forward from the character display section 28 is provided between the character display section 28 and the item holding section 21. This step section 28b has, for example, a pair of character holding holes 28h for holding the character 30 by inserting the front end of the character 30's foot. Therefore, the character 30 is installed and removed, allowing for changes to the character 30 as needed. Additionally, when the character 30 is installed, the character display section 28 has a planar area 28a next to the character 30. This area 28a can be used, for example, as an area for displaying information such as "florist" or stickers of other characters (see reference). Figure 13 ).

[0053] Figure 4 This is a side view showing the base 20.

[0054] like Figure 4 As shown, the character 30 installed on the character display section 28 has a three-dimensional shape that protrudes forward from the display surface 28s (towards the item holding section 21). In addition, the multiple item fixing parts 22, 23, and 24 are configured such that not only do they protrude at different heights as described above, but they are also at different distances from the character display section 28.

[0055] Figure 5 This is a front view showing the base installation from 10 different angles.

[0056] When installing flower 10 onto display base 20, such as Figure 5 As shown, the front end of the support portion 15 of the flower 10 (the lower front end in the figure) is inserted into the mounting holes 22h, 23h, and 24h. In this case, by installing three types of flowers 10 (10A, 10B, and 10C), the flowers 10 can be diversified, thereby allowing the display base 20 to perform as a "flower shop" for the character 30.

[0057] Figure 6 This is a side view showing the base 20 with the flower 10 installed.

[0058] like Figure 6 As shown, with flowers 10A, 10B, and 10C installed, the corolla 11b and stamen 11a, which serve as the display variation section 11, are held at a height separate from the holding surface 21u of the display base 20. Furthermore, the corolla 11b and stamen 11a of the flower 10 are displayed at different heights when viewed from the side or front. That is, as described later, when the color changes due to the spraying of liquid W, a variety of colors are displayed because the color is positioned at different levels (front / back, top / bottom).

[0059] Figure 7 This is a top view showing the base 20 with the flower 10 installed.

[0060] With flower 10 installed on display base 20, as follows: Figure 7 As shown, all the flowers 10 are located inside the article holding section 21. That is, the article holding section 21 is configured such that, in a top view with the flowers 10 held, the outer edge 21e of the liquid reservoir 25 holding the liquid W is located outside the flowers 10. Thus, for example, when the liquid W is sprayed from above, the liquid W will not overflow and will be received by the liquid reservoir 25.

[0061] Figure 8 These are top and side views showing an example of a container component in toy 1. Figure 9 These are top and side views showing other examples of container components.

[0062] In toy 1, a container component capable of storing and discharging liquid W is provided, such as... Figure 8 The watering can 60 shown and as shown Figure 9 The bouquet shown is in container 70.

[0063] like Figure 8 As shown, the watering can 60 includes, for example, a generally cylindrical body 61 capable of storing liquid W such as water; a handle 62 disposed at one end of the body 61; and a showerhead 63 protruding to the side opposite to the handle 62 and capable of discharging liquid W. Furthermore, an open opening 64 is provided at the upper end of the body 61. The portion of this opening 64 located on the side of the showerhead 63 is closed by a semi-circular wall portion 64a.

[0064] In addition, such as Figure 9 As shown, the main body 71 of the bouquet container 70 is shaped such that the opening 74 on the upper side is elliptical and its diameter increases from the bottom 72 upwards. Furthermore, the opening size L3 of the opening 74 is shaped to be the perfect size for inserting multiple flowers 10 (see reference). Figure 14 Furthermore, the depth L4 of the bouquet container 70 is set such that the corolla 11b protrudes above the opening 74 when the support 15 of the flower 10 is inserted. Additionally, the bouquet container 70 can store liquid W inside.

[0065] Figure 10 These are front, side, and rear views showing an example of a rod-shaped component in toy 1.

[0066] Figure 11 These are top views, side views, and front views showing other examples of rod-shaped components. In toy 1, a rod-shaped component that can be used when applying liquid W is provided, as shown below. Figure 10 The large-diameter rod-shaped member 80 shown at the front end and as shown in the figure Figure 11The pencil-shaped rod-shaped component 90 is shown.

[0067] Figure 10 The sponge retaining portion 82 of the rod-shaped member 80 shown, which is equipped with a porous sponge portion 81 for absorbing liquid W, is configured as a plane substantially parallel to the axis CL of the rod-shaped member 80. The outer surface 81s of the sponge portion 81 and the sponge retaining portion 82 that retains the sponge portion 81 are both formed as circular planes substantially parallel to the axis CL, which are larger diameter structures compared to the holding portion 83.

[0068] In addition, such as Figure 10 As shown in (c), the sponge retainer 82 has a pattern of the character 31 depicted on its back side, opposite to the side where the sponge portion 81 is located. Furthermore, the outer diameter L5 of the sponge retainer 82 is configured to be smaller than the opening size L1 of the opening 64 of the watering can 60 and the opening size L3 of the opening of the bouquet container 70. This allows the sponge retainer 82 to be inserted into the container members (watering can 60, bouquet container 70), thereby immersing the sponge portion 81 in the liquid W within the container. Additionally, there are no particular limitations on the outer diameter of the sponge portion 81, and it can be used with... Figure 1 The outer diameter L7 of the flower 10 shown is the same or similar. In this case, the overall color of the flower 10 can be quickly changed by means of the sponge part 81.

[0069] about Figure 11 The rod-shaped member 90 shown has a porous, spherical sponge portion 91 for absorbing liquid W disposed on a sponge retaining portion 92, which is located at one end of the rod-shaped member 90 along the axis CL. That is, the sponge portion 91 disposed in the sponge retaining portion 92 is bent such that its outer surface 91s bulges towards one end along the axis CL. Furthermore, compared to... Figure 10 In the case shown, the gripping part 93 held by the fingers has a relatively fine structure overall.

[0070] In addition, such as Figure 11 As shown in (c), a pattern of character 32 is depicted on the side of the handle 93. In addition, the outer diameter L6 of the sponge retainer 92 is smaller than the opening size L1 of the opening 64 of the watering can 60 and the opening size L3 of the opening of the bouquet container 70, so that the sponge retainer 92 can be inserted into the container members (watering can 60, bouquet container 70), thereby allowing the sponge 91 to be immersed in the liquid W in the container.

[0071] Furthermore, the depth dimensions (L2 and L4) of the watering can 60 and the bouquet container 70 are smaller than the dimensions along the long side of the rod-shaped members 80 and 90. Therefore, the dimensions are designed to facilitate easy removal even if the rod-shaped members 80 and 90 are dropped into the watering can 60 and the bouquet container 70.

[0072] Figure 12 It is a 3D image showing the base 20 with flower 10 installed. Figure 13 This is a perspective view showing an example of how to play with the flower 10 installed on the display base 20.

[0073] The following explains how to play with Toy 1.

[0074] like Figure 12 As shown, when using the display base 20, for example, three types of flowers 10A, 10B, and 10C are installed. Additionally, sticker 29 is affixed to area 28a.

[0075] In this state, at room temperature, flowers 10A, 10B, and 10C do not develop particularly vibrant colors; as illustrated, they are all the same, for example, white. Then, as... Figure 13 As shown, for example, a liquid W (cold water, etc.) of a certain temperature is sprayed from above using a watering can 60. As a result, flowers 10A, 10B, and 10C change color to reflect the characteristics of each flower 10A, 10B, and 10C.

[0076] Figure 14 This is a perspective view showing other examples of how to play with toy 1.

[0077] like Figure 14 As shown, another way to play is to create a bouquet. For example, multiple flowers 10A and 10B are inserted into the bouquet container 70. Then, for flower 10B, the color is changed on each petal, not the entire corolla 11b, using the rod-shaped member 90 as shown. In this case, the contact surface of the outer surface 91s of the rod-shaped member 90 is made small enough relative to the size L8 of the petal to allow for localized color changes as shown. Alternatively, when using the rod-shaped member 80, a large area of ​​flower 10A can be changed in one go. In this way, when using the rod-shaped members 80 and 90, it is possible to prevent liquid W from spilling onto other parts.

[0078] As described above, in this method, the object undergoing color change mimics flower 10, thus enabling a dazzling and interesting performance of changing the colors of various flowers 10. Furthermore, the display change section 11 of flower 10 has a change area E1 capable of color change and a non-change area E2 that does not change color, allowing one to enjoy the pleasure of emphasizing and displaying color changes between the non-change area and the non-change area. In particular, since at least one of the corolla 11b and stamen 11a is the change area E1, one can enjoy the overall color change of the corolla 11b and stamen 11a of flower 10, the local color change of flower 10, and the enjoyment of realistic color changes depending on the type of flower 10.

[0079] In this method, a character display section 28 is provided on the side of the item holding section 21 used to hold the flower 10, which is approximately orthogonal to the item holding section 21 and displays the character 30. Therefore, it is possible to associate the character 30 with the flower 10 held in the item holding section 21 and enjoy the experience. For example, the flower 10 is set in a way that can be removed from the display base 20, so it is possible to enjoy the fun of "flower shop role-playing" by simulating passing the flower 10 between the character 30 and the flower.

[0080] In addition, in this method, the upper side 10u of the flower 10 displayed on the display base 20 can change color due to the liquid W, so for example, liquid W such as water can be easily supplied from above, and the fun of color change can be enjoyed.

[0081] In this configuration, the display 10 is mounted via the support 15 such that the display variation section 11 is separated from the holding surface 21u of the display base 20 by a certain distance, thus enabling the display variation section 11 to be displayed three-dimensionally on the display base 20. Furthermore, since the display variation section 11 is separated from the holding surface 21u, even in a structure where the holding surface stores liquid W via a recessed liquid reservoir 25, the display variation section 11 can be prevented from being immersed in the liquid W.

[0082] In this method, by providing a rib 13 on the back side 11d of the display changing section 11, the strength of the display changing section 11 can be improved even if the thickness of the display changing section 11 is relatively thin. Furthermore, by providing the rib 13, the surface area of ​​the back side 11d can be changed, and the volume of the display changing section 11 can be altered. This allows for changes in the heat dissipation performance of the display changing section 11 (heat dissipation function based on the heat sink), and also allows for changes in heat capacity through volume variation. As a result, functions such as adjusting the rate of temperature change and maintaining the color change state of the display changing section 11 can be achieved.

[0083] In this configuration, the item holding section 21 has multiple item fixing parts 22, 23, and 24 at different heights for holding the flower 10, thus allowing the display height of the flower 10 to be changed and enabling a three-dimensional display. Furthermore, the multiple item fixing parts 22, 23, and 24 for holding the flower 10 are configured to be at different distances from the character display section 28, thus enabling the display breadth of the flower 10.

[0084] Furthermore, in this method, the character 30 is formed with a three-dimensional shape that protrudes towards the front compared to the area 28a where stickers can be applied, thus enabling the depiction of the depth between the character 30 and the sticker pattern.

[0085] In this configuration, the outer edge 21e of the liquid reservoir 25 is located outside the outer diameter of the flower 10, which is fixed to the article holder 21, when viewed from above. Therefore, it can reliably receive liquid W sprayed onto the flower 10, for example.

[0086] This method includes container components (watering can 60, bouquet container 70) capable of storing and discharging liquid W, and rod-shaped components 80 and 90 equipped with sponge-holding portions 82 and 92 that contain the liquid W. This allows one to enjoy the different color variations experienced when a large amount of liquid W is applied and when a small amount of liquid W is applied locally. For example, when using the watering can 60, especially the watering can 60 with a spout 63, to spray the liquid W, one can perform an interesting act of watering the flowers 10.

[0087] Furthermore, the sponge portions 81 and 91 of the rod-shaped members 80 and 90 are configured as planes substantially parallel to the axis CL of the rod-shaped members 80 and 90. This allows liquid W to be dispensed by a shaking motion (oscillating motion) that moves the axis CL of the rod-shaped members 80 and 90, making it usable even for young children. Additionally, the sponge retaining portions 82 and 92 have a relatively large planar structure on the back side 11d of the sponge retaining portions 81 and 91, allowing for the provision of areas for pattern arrangement.

[0088] Furthermore, regarding the rod-shaped members 80 and 90, in a configuration where the sponge portions 81 and 91 are provided at one end along the axis CL direction of the rod-shaped members 80 and 90, the rod-shaped members 80 and 90 can be used like a pen or pencil. In addition, the outer surfaces 81s and 91s of the sponge portions 81 and 91 are curved in a way that bulges out to one end, thus allowing liquid W to be applied with a small contact surface.

[0089] In addition, in this method, the sponge holding parts 82 and 92 are configured to be smaller than the openings 64 and 74 of the container member, so that the sponge parts 81 and 91 can be immersed in the liquid W contained in the container member. In addition, the rod-shaped members 80 and 90 can be stored in the container member for safekeeping.

[0090] The above description illustrates one aspect of the invention, but the invention is not limited to the above description. For example, regarding the display changing section 11 in the above embodiment, it is configured with a changing area E1 and a non-changing area E2, but it can also be configured so that the non-changing area E2 is not provided and the entire display changing section 11 changes color.
