[0017] Embodiments of the present disclosure will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings. Figure 1 The toy house 1 shown has an open front (front surface) side and is formed to imitate a two-story house. The toy house 1 has a toy house body 10 imitating a house, a plate-like base member 100, and an accessory toy 200, which serves as a climbing toy and a toy slide for the toy house. Note that in the following description, when the toy house 1 is viewed from the front, the left side is referred to as left, the right side is referred to as right, the upper side is referred to as upper, the lower side is referred to as lower, the front side is referred to as front, and the opposite side is referred to as rear.

[0018] The toy house body 10 includes plate-like wall portions 11 disposed opposite to each other on the left and right sides and a plate-like connecting wall portion 12 disposed to connect the rear sides of the two wall portions 11. The toy house body 10 includes a floor member 13 constituting a second floor portion. In addition, a portion of the roof is formed on the rear side of the second floor portion. The toy house body 10 includes an auxiliary toy 200 attached to the toy house 1, the auxiliary toy 200 spanning the floor member 13 and the base member 100 constituting the first floor portion, and formed to imitate a ladder for going up and down between the first floor and the second floor. The auxiliary toy 200, which will be described in detail below, can be used as a ladder like a ladder. Figure 1 The ladder can be bent and played as a climbing toy like the ladder shown, or can be bent and played as a toy slide (see Figure 6 ).

[0019] like Figure 2 As shown, the accessory toy 200 as a climbing toy and a toy slide used for a toy house includes a first component 210 and a second component 220 connected to the first component 210 by a hinge portion 250. The first component 210 and the second component 220 can be bent by the hinge portion 250. The first component 210 and the second component 220 can be transformed into a toy ladder by stretching, and can be transformed into a toy slide by bending. The second component 220 is set longer than the first component 210. The first component 210 and the second component 220 include: main board components 211 and 221 having a substantially long rectangular plate shape; and two side panels 212 and 222 respectively arranged opposite to each other at both ends in the width direction of the main board components 211 and 221. The two side panels 212 are formed symmetrically in the left-right direction, and the two side panels 222 are formed symmetrically in the left-right direction. The distance between the two side panels 212 and the distance between the two side panels 222 are substantially the same.

[0020] One surface of each of the main board components 211 and 221 ( Figure 2 The surface shown in FIG. 2 is a climbing surface 230. The other surface of each of the main plate components 211 and 221 is a slide surface 240 (see FIG. Figure 3 ). The slide surface 240 constitutes a surface opposite to the climbing surface 230. In other words, the climbing surface 230 and the slide surface 240 constitute a pair of surfaces. The climbing surface 230 is provided with a plurality of protrusions 233 extending between the side plates 212 and between the side plates 222 and protruding from the main plate parts 211 and 221, imitating the rod-like steps of a ladder. The climbing surface 230 of the accessory toy 200 is when the accessory toy is as Figure 2 and Figure 3 The surface shown is used when it extends in a straight line. On the other hand, Figure 7 As shown, the slide surface 240 of the accessory toy 200 is the surface used when the accessory toy is folded and played as a toy slide.

[0021] like Figure 2 As shown, the climbing surface 230 of the first component 210 is a first climbing surface 231. Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the slide surface 240 of the first part 210 is a slide climbing surface 241. The slide climbing surface 241 has a plurality of (four in this embodiment) horizontal plates 241a and 241b disposed between the two side plates 212. In this way, the slide climbing surface 241 is formed in a stepped shape. Note that, as shown in FIG. Figure 6 As shown, when the accessory toy 200 is used as a slide, Figure 4 The lower surfaces of the horizontal plates 241a and 241b in the structure become step surfaces 241a1 and 241b1 as stepping surfaces.

[0022] When installed as a toy slide, the step surface 241b1 of the transverse plate 241b located at the end of the first member 210 serves as a first step surface (see Figure 6 and Figure 7 ). The step surface 241b1 is set at an angle relative to the step surface 241a1 of the other transverse plate 241a so as to descend from the main plate part 211 toward the end of the transverse plate 241b. In other words, the transverse plate 241b is inclined in a manner that expands from the main plate part 211 toward the end of the transverse plate 241b (the end on the slide surface 240 side) relative to the other transverse plates 241a.

[0023] In addition, if Figure 2 As shown in FIG. 24 , the end of the horizontal plate 241b on the main plate member 211 side (climbing surface 230 side) protrudes from the surface of the main plate member 211 and is formed as a protrusion 233. Figure 4 As shown, the first engaging portion 251 is provided on the side opposite to the horizontal plate 241b in the first member 210, and has a protruding shaft shape protruding from the side plate 212 in the left and right directions. A bulging portion 213 bulging in the axial direction of the first engaging portion 251 is provided between the first engaging portions 251.

[0024] like Figure 2 As shown, with the horizontal plate 241b at the lowermost end, the climbing surface 230 side of the horizontal plate 241a at the uppermost end protrudes from the main plate part 211 as a protrusion 233. In addition, as shown Figure 3 As shown, a groove 214 is provided in the outer surface of the end portion of each of the two side plates 212 near the first engaging portion 251, and the groove 214 is long in a direction perpendicular to the length direction of the side plate 212. Figure 2 As shown in the circle portion P, the limiting protrusion 215 is provided near the end portion of the uppermost transverse plate 241 a side of each side plate 212 and on the edge surface of the climbing surface 230 side of each side plate 212 .

[0025] like Figure 2 As shown, the climbing surface 230 of the second component 220 is a second climbing surface 232. The second climbing surface 232 is also provided with a plurality of protrusions 233 similar to those described above. Figure 3 As shown, the slide surface 242 constituting the surface opposite to the second climbing surface 232 of the second part 220 (the slide surface 242 is the slide surface 240 in the second part 220) is a continuous flat surface, so that the user can play while sliding the doll in the doll game.

[0026] like Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, bearings 252 are respectively provided at the ends of the hinge 250 side of the two side plates 222. The bearing 252 is formed into a roughly annular shape protruding from the outer surface of the side plate 222, and the hole in the central portion is used as the second engaging portion 252a. The first engaging portion 251 of the first component 210 is inserted into the second engaging portion 252a of the second component 220. In this way, the first engaging portion 251 is inserted into the second engaging portion 252a and engaged in a concave-convex engaging manner. In other words, the hinge 250 has a concave-convex engaging structure constituted by the first engaging portion 251 and the second engaging portion 252a. That is, in the present embodiment, a concave-convex engaging structure in which the first engaging portion 251 is protruding and the second engaging portion 252a is concave is provided, but a concave-convex engaging structure in which the first engaging portion 251a is concave and the second engaging portion 252a is protruding is also possible.

[0027] Each bearing 252 is provided with a support plate 223 protruding from a side surface having a circular ring shape, and the support plate 223 has a substantially triangular plate shape. Figure 3 The protrusions 223a are provided on the opposing surfaces of each support plate 223 which are opposed to each other in the left-right direction (the length direction of the protrusions 233) (see Figure 3 The support plate 223 is also connected to the side plate 222. The support plate 223 is arranged on the outer side of the side plate 212 of the first component 210.

[0028] A slit S1 of a predetermined length is provided between the main plate part 221 on the hinge portion 250 side and each side plate 222. Note that the thickness of the side plate 222 is in accordance with the thickness of the protrusion 233 (see FIG. Figure 2 ) is uniformly set to be thick, and is set to be thinner on the slide surface 240 (242) than the thickness on the climbing surface 230 side.

[0029] like Figure 2As shown in the circle portion P of FIG. 1 , the end portion of each side plate 222 on the hinge portion 250 side is formed in a cutout shape, and is provided with a limiting contact surface 222a which is a flat surface perpendicular to the outer surface and the inner surface (plate surface) of the side plate 222. In addition, a reinforcing protrusion 222b extending outward from the cutout portion is connected to the bearing 252, and strengthens the connection between the bearing 252 and the side plate 222.

[0030] When the accessory toy 200 is used as a climbing toy such as a ladder, the opening angle between the first part 210 and the second part 220 is set to about 180 degrees so that the climbing surface 230 is continuous. Figure 3 As shown, the step surface 241a1 of the horizontal plate 241a on the hinge portion 250 side contacts the end surface of the slide surface 242 of the second component 220, thereby limiting the opening angle of the first component 210 and the second component 200 in the opening direction. In addition, the protrusion 223a of the support plate 223 of the second component 220 is inserted and engaged with the groove 214 of the side plate 212 of the first component 210. As a result, the movement of the first component 210 and the second component 220 in the direction away from each other is limited.

[0031] like Figure 5 As shown, the accessory toy 200 configured as a climbing toy can be installed so that the step surface 241b1 of the horizontal plate 241b contacts the upper surface of the floor member 13 of the second floor portion of the toy house body 10. Since the horizontal plate 241b is inclined, the opposite surface of the step surface 241b1 and the upper surface of the floor member 13 can be made substantially parallel to each other. Then, the floor member 13 is engaged so as to be sandwiched between the opposite surface of the step surface 241a1 of the horizontal plate 241a adjacent to the horizontal plate 241b and the step surface 241b1 of the horizontal plate 241b. In this way, the accessory toy 200 is formed so that the first part 210 can be engaged with the floor member 13, and the end portion of the second part 220 can contact the base member 100. As a result, even if the force F pressing the climbing surface 230 is applied to the accessory toy 200 when the doll plays a game such as climbing a ladder, the possibility that the accessory toy 200 in the ladder state becomes perpendicular to the floor member 13 and falls is reduced. Note that the inner dimensions of the lateral plates 241 a and 241 b (dimensions from the main plate member 211 to the ends of the lateral plates 241 a and 241 b ) are designed so that the accessory toy 200 in the ladder state is not perpendicular to the floor member 13 .

[0032] When the accessory toy 200 is used as a toy slide, Figure 6 and Figure 7As shown, the first component 210 and the second component 220 are relatively rotated around the hinge portion 250, so that the climbing surfaces 230 (the first climbing surface 231 and the second climbing surface 232) of the first component 210 and the second component 220 are close to each other. The relative rotation of the first component 210 and the second component 220 is performed until the limiting protrusion 215 of the first component 210 comes into contact with the limiting contact surface 222a of the second component 200. Since the end of the side plate 212 of the first component 210 (the end on the opposite side to the hinge portion 250) has a right angle shape when viewed from the side, the first component 210 can be arranged to stand upright relative to the installation surface.

[0033] Here, the end of each side plate 222 of the second member 220 has a C-shaped chamfered shape at a corner 222c on the climbing surface 230 side, so that the end of the second member 230 can stably contact and be placed on the ground.

[0034] Here, when the first component 210 and the second component 220 are relatively rotated to transform the auxiliary toy 200 from the state of the toy slide to the state of the toy ladder, if a foreign object such as a finger is caught between the support plate 223 near the hinge portion 250 and the side plate 212 of the first component 210, or between the end surface of the side plate 222 near the hinge portion 250 and the horizontal plate 241a of the first component 220, because the end of each side plate 222 of the second component 222 on the hinge portion 250 side has elasticity due to the slit S1, the portion of each side plate 222 corresponding to the slit S1 opens outward. Then, as each side plate 222 moves outward, the bearing 252 also moves outward, causing the first engaging portion 251 to separate from the second engaging portion 252a, thereby releasing the concave-convex engagement between the first engaging portion 251 and the second engaging portion 252a, and disassembling the first component 210 and the second component 220. Since the portion of the side plate 222 that supports the bearing 252 (the portion of the side plate 222 corresponding to the slit S1 ) has elasticity, the first engaging portion 251 can be easily fitted to the second engaging portion 252 a to perform the concave-convex engagement again.

[0035] In addition, if Figure 6As shown, the floor component 13 of the second floor portion of the toy house 1 is configured to be freely attached and detached by the guide portion 4 provided on the inner surface of the opposing wall portion 11. Here, the guide portion 4 can allow sliding on the elongated guide surface 4a which is long in the front-to-back direction. In addition, the guide portion 4 is provided with a guide protrusion 4b in the left-right direction above the guide surface 4a. The guide protrusion 4b is formed to fill the gap between the inner surface of each of the left wall portion 11 and the right wall portion 11 which are set to expand toward the front side and the side surface of the rectangular floor component 13. If the floor component 13 is formed into a trapezoidal shape consistent with the expanded wall portion 11, the floor component 13 may be set on the guide portion 4 in the wrong front-to-back direction and may be damaged. In the toy house 1, the floor component 13 is formed into a rectangular shape using the guide protrusion 4b. As a result, when the floor component 13 is set to the guide portion 4, the directionality of the insertion direction of the floor component 13 can be eliminated.

[0036] The floor member 13 removed from the toy house 1 can be mounted on the front side of the base member 100 to expand the bottom of the toy house 1. Then, the accessory toy 200 as a toy slide can be mounted on the floor of the expanded room for play.

[0037] According to the embodiments of the present disclosure described above, a toy house according to the following aspects can be provided.

[0038] A combined climbing toy and toy slide for a toy house according to a first aspect comprises: a first component including a first climbing surface and a climbing surface for a slide constituting an opposite surface to the first climbing surface; and a second component including a second climbing surface and a slide surface constituting an opposite surface to the second climbing surface, the second component being rotatably connected to the first component via a hinge portion so that the first climbing surface and the second climbing surface can be connected.

[0039] According to this configuration, for example, when the dual-purpose climbing toy and toy slide for a toy house are played as a climbing toy such as a toy ladder or a toy staircase for a toy house, the first climbing surface of the first part and the second climbing surface of the second part are used, and when the dual-purpose climbing toy and toy slide for a toy house are played as a toy slide, the climbing surface for the slide of the first part used as a climbing portion such as a step of the toy slide and the slide surface of the second part can be used. Therefore, it is possible to provide a dual-purpose climbing toy and toy slide for a toy house that can be transformed from a climbing toy to a toy slide.

[0040] In the combined climbing toy and toy slide for a toy house according to the second aspect, the hinge portion has a concave-convex engaging structure of a first engaging portion provided on the first component and a second engaging portion provided on the second component, and the first engaging portion or the second engaging portion is provided on the first component or the second component via a slit.

[0041] According to this structure, elastic force is provided to the first engaging portion or the second engaging portion through the slit. Therefore, even if a foreign object or the like is stuck between the first component and the second component, the damage caused by the stuck foreign object or the like can be reduced by releasing the concave-convex engagement between the first engaging portion and the second engaging portion. Note that in the present embodiment, a concave-convex engagement structure is provided in which the first engaging portion is convex and the second engaging portion is concave, but a concave-convex engagement structure in which the first engaging portion is concave and the second engaging portion is convex is also possible. In addition, in the present embodiment, the second engaging portion is provided via the slit, but the first engaging portion may also be provided via the slit.

[0042] In the combined climbing toy and toy slide for a toy house according to the third aspect, the climbing surface for the slide is formed in a step shape having a plurality of horizontal plates, and the step surface of the first step is inclined.

[0043] According to this structure, when the combined climbing toy and toy slide for a toy house is used as a toy slide and a toy ladder, even if the toy ladder is placed against the floor member constituting the second floor portion of the toy house, the surface opposite to the step surface of the first step can be made substantially parallel to the upper surface of the floor member. Therefore, a combined climbing toy and toy slide for a toy house with good appearance can be provided.

[0044] In the combined climbing toy and toy slide for a playhouse according to the fourth aspect, the first climbing surface and the second climbing surface are formed to imitate a ladder.

[0045] According to this configuration, the combined climbing toy and toy slide for a toy house can be used as a toy ladder in the climbing toy.

[0046] A toy house according to a fifth aspect comprises: a combined climbing toy and toy slide for a toy house according to any one of the above aspects; a toy house body having an open front side, the toy house body comprising a detachable floor component, the floor component constituting an upper staircase including at least a second floor portion; and a base component, wherein the combined climbing toy and toy slide for a toy house is formed such that a first component is constructed to engage the floor component, and a second component is constructed to contact the base component.

[0047] According to this configuration, the floor member of the second floor portion can be freely attached to and detached from the toy house, so when the dual-purpose climbing toy and toy slide for the toy house is used as a toy ladder, the dual-purpose climbing toy and toy slide for the toy house can be engaged with the floor member for playing. In addition, by aligning the removed floor member with the base member, when the dual-purpose climbing toy and toy slide for the toy house is played as a toy slide, the toy slide can be placed on the floor portion of the expanded room.

[0048] Although the embodiments of the present disclosure have been described, the present disclosure is not limited to the above-mentioned embodiments, and various changes can be made without departing from the scope.
