[0068] Hereinafter, a toy according to one aspect of one embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

[0069] Figure 1 It is a perspective view showing the exploded state of the toy 1A (1). Figure 2 This is a perspective view of the toy 1A as viewed from the upper end side.

[0070] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown in FIG. 1 , the toy 1A is a structure that can be connected to a flat bottom plate 10 having a plurality of protrusions 12. The bottom plate 10 constitutes a first member. The toy 1A has a connecting structure at both ends (the upper and lower sides in the figure) of a main body 20 that constitutes a pentagonal prism in cross section. Figure 1 As shown, the main body 20 has a first annular connecting portion 22 that can be connected to the bottom plate 10 at one end thereof. Figure 2 As shown, the other end side has a second connection portion 24 having four protrusions. The second connection portion 24 protrudes from the end surface 23 on the other end side in the direction opposite to the first connection portion 22 and is configured in substantially the same shape as the protrusion 12.

[0071] Figure 3 It is an enlarged perspective view of the first connecting portion 22 . Figure 4 It is along Figure 3 A cross-sectional view of the portion taken along line A-A.

[0072] The first connecting portion 22 has a state in which it is connected to the bottom plate 10 (see Figure 6 ) The pentagonal opposing portion 21 facing the bottom plate 10 has a wall portion 22a protruding in an annular shape. In addition, an annular protrusion 22b concentric with the wall portion 22a is provided on the inner side of the wall portion 22a. In addition, the wall portion 22a of the first connecting portion 22 is configured to be located at a position closer to the inner side than the outer edge 21e of the opposing portion 21.

[0073] The facing portion 21 and the first connecting portion 22 are composed of an end surface member 2 that is installed, for example, inserted and connected to the inner side of the main body 20. That is, it can be configured as follows: a substantially cylindrical end surface member 2 having a pentagonal flange portion 21a on the outer periphery is embedded in one end side of the main body 20. A reinforcing rib 28 is provided on the inner side of the annular wall portion 22a. The reinforcing rib 28 is provided, for example, radially from the lower side of the protrusion 22b toward the inner side of the wall portion 22a, and is provided in a manner to connect the protrusion 22b and the wall portion 22a.

[0074] The reinforcing rib 28 is provided flush with the flange portion 21a or located further back than the flange portion 21a to prevent interference with the convex portion 12 when connected to the bottom plate 10. In addition, a protruding reinforcing rib 29 is provided on the inner side of the protruding portion 22b. Since the protruding reinforcing rib 29 does not interfere with the convex portion 12, the protruding reinforcing rib 29 is provided to the front end edge side of the protruding portion 22b.

[0075] Figure 5 is a side view of toy 1A.

[0076] like Figure 5 As shown, the first connection portion 22 is configured such that the amount of protrusion (h2) from the opposing portion 21 is substantially the same as the amount of protrusion (h1) of the protrusion 12 in the bottom plate 10. The substantially the same amount of protrusion mentioned here includes the case where the amount of protrusion (h2) of the first connection portion 22 is greater than the amount of protrusion (h1) of the protrusion 12 in the bottom plate 10 and the case where, on the contrary, it is less than the amount of protrusion (h1) of the protrusion 12. That is, when the amount of protrusion (h2) of the first connection portion 22 is greater than the amount of protrusion (h1) of the protrusion 12, the front end portion of the first connection portion 22 contacts the base 11 of the bottom plate 10. On the other hand, when the amount of protrusion (h2) of the first connection portion 22 is less than the amount of protrusion (h1) of the protrusion 12, the front end portion of the protrusion 12 contacts the outer edge 21e. In addition, the amount of protrusion (h3) of the second connection portion 24 is configured to be the same as the amount of protrusion (h2) of the first connection portion 22.

[0077] Figure 6 It is a perspective view showing the mounted state of toy 1A. Figure 7 It is an explanatory diagram showing the positional relationship between the first connection portion 22 and the outer edge 21 e and the convex portion 12 in the mounted state of the toy 1A.

[0078] like Figure 6 As shown, the toy 1A is mounted in a manner such that the first connecting portion 22 enters between the plurality of convex portions 12 arranged in an array on the bottom plate 10. The positional relationship between the convex portion 12 and the first connecting portion 22 in this state is as shown in FIG. Figure 7 For example, the protrusion 22 b is arranged so as to be surrounded by four convex portions 12 , and the wall portion 22 a is arranged so as to be adjacent to the outer sides of the four convex portions 12 and to surround the four convex portions 12 .

[0079] exist Figure 7 In the case shown, the protrusion 22b is arranged in a manner that contacts the convex portion 12. In addition, the wall portion 22a may be arranged to contact the convex portion 12, and in addition, both the wall portion 22a and the protrusion 22b may be arranged to contact the convex portion 12. Regardless of the connection state, the toy 1A is reliably connected in a state where the convex portion 12 is arranged between the annular wall portion 22a and the protrusion 22b. In addition, in a state where the first connection portion 22 is connected to the convex portion 12, the main body 20 is supported to be rotatable relative to the base plate 10. In other words, the base plate 10 is supported to be rotatable around a rotation axis extending in the thickness direction of the base 11 of the base plate 10. In other words, the base plate 10 is supported to be rotatable along the surface of the base 11.

[0080] In addition, if Figure 5 and Figure 7 As shown, the facing portion 21 is arranged so that its outer edge 21e faces the upper end of the protrusion 12 at multiple locations. Thus, the facing portion 21 is restricted in position by the protrusion 12 in the thickness direction of the bottom plate 10, and the body 20 can be kept upright relative to the bottom plate 10.

[0081] Figure 8 It is a perspective view showing a first modified example of the toy 1B.

[0082] Relative to Figure 2 For the toy 1A shown, Figure 8 In the toy 1B shown, only the length of the main body 20 is shortened, and the other structures are completely the same.

[0083] Fig. 9 It is a perspective view showing a second modification example of the toy 1C.

[0084] Fig. 9 The main body 20 of the toy 1C shown is shaped like a pentagonal pyramid. In addition, a second connecting portion 24 consisting of a convex portion is provided on the end surface 23 on the other end side (upper side). In addition, only the flange portion 21a described above is not provided for the opposing portion 21, and the other structures are configured as Figure 3 The structures shown are the same.

[0085] Fig.10 It is a perspective view showing a third modified example of the toy 1D.

[0086] Fig.10 The structure of the toy 1D shown is Fig. 9 The toy 1C shown in the figure has a shape similar to that of the toy 1C, in which the main body 20 is formed into a quadrangular pyramid. In addition, the shape of the first connecting portion 22 is different from the shape of the first connecting portion 22 described above, and is not a perfect circle, but has a flat surface 22ba.

[0087] Fig.11 This is a three-dimensional diagram showing an example of how to play.

[0088] With the toy 1 thus constructed, for example, a game can be played in the following manner: the toy 1A is mounted on the base plate 10, another toy 1C is connected to the toy 1A, and further, a predetermined member 30 simulating a flag or the like is connected to the toy 1C to form a high tower.

[0089] As described above, in the toy 1 of this form, the first connection portion 22 is provided to protrude from the opposing portion 21 and is provided at a position closer to the inside than the outer edge 21e of the opposing portion 21. Therefore, when the first connection portion 22 is connected to the convex portion 12 of the bottom plate 10, the outer edge 21e of the opposing portion 21 is opposed to the bottom plate 10 at the outer periphery of the outer side of the first connection portion 22 and is restricted in position. Therefore, the main body 20 can be reliably held by the connection of the first connection portion 22. Moreover, the protrusion amount of the first connection portion 22 and the protrusion amount of the convex portion 12 are configured to be substantially the same, so that the convex portion 12 and the outer edge 21e can contact each other, and the position restriction of the connection portion is easy.

[0090] In addition, in this embodiment, by making the protrusion amount (h2) of the first connecting portion 22 greater than the protrusion amount (h1) of the convex portion 12, when the main body 20 is mounted on the bottom plate 10, the front end of the first connecting portion 22 can be mounted in contact with the base 11 of the bottom plate 10. Thus, the main body 20 can be stably held. On the other hand, when the protrusion amount (h2) of the first connecting portion 22 is smaller than the protrusion amount (h1) of the convex portion 12, the outer edge 21e can be in contact with the upper end of the convex portion 12, thereby, the main body 20 can be stably held.

[0091] In this embodiment, the main body 20 has a second connection portion 24 protruding in a shape substantially the same as that of the convex portion 12 on the side opposite to the opposing portion 21 , thereby enabling other predetermined members to be connected to the main body 20 mounted on the base plate 10 .

[0092] In addition, in this embodiment, the main body 20 is formed in the shape of a prism or a pyramid, and the main body 20 has a flat surface on its outer surface, so that the fingertips are easily hooked on the main body 20 and force is easily applied. As a result, even if the connection between the first connecting portion 22 and the protrusion 12 is relatively strong, the detachability of the main body 20 can be improved.

[0093] In this embodiment, the main body 20 is supported to be rotatable relative to the base plate 10 in a state where the first connecting portion 22 is connected to the convex portion 12, so that the connecting direction can be freely changed. In addition, when the two components are detached, they can be detached while rotating, and even in a fixed state where they are firmly fixed, the detachability can be improved.

[0094] In this embodiment, the first connecting portion 22 is configured so that the plurality of protrusions 12 are located inside its annular wall portion 22a when connected to the base plate 10, thereby stabilizing the connected state of the main body 20. Furthermore, a protrusion 22b is provided at a position sandwiching the protrusion 12, thereby further improving the stability of the main body 20 in the connected state.

[0095] Furthermore, since the reinforcing rib 28 is provided inside the annular wall portion 22a, the rigidity of the first connection portion 22 can be increased, and since the reinforcing rib 28 is connected to the protrusion 22b, more reliable attachment can be achieved.

[0096] The above is a description of one embodiment of the present invention, but the present invention can be appropriately changed within the scope of its technical concept. For example, in the above embodiment, the first connecting portion 22 is configured to have a structure having a wall portion 22a and a protrusion 22b, but is not limited thereto and may also be a structure consisting of only one of them.

[0097] In the above-described embodiment, the first connecting portion 22 has a continuous ring-shaped structure, but it does not need to be a continuous ring-shaped structure.
