Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present disclosure relates to a toy house. Background Art

[0002] In the prior art, a toy house that a user can assemble by himself is known. For example, Patent Document 1 discloses a toy house including a floor member, a plurality of column members, and a plurality of wall members, wherein protrusions at the lower ends of the column members are removably inserted into holes of the floor member, and the wall members are arranged between adjacent column members using grooves provided in the column members.

[0003] Patent document 1: JP6397076B1 Summary of the invention

[0004] After the toy house game is over, the user can disassemble the toy house again and store it. Here, in the above-mentioned toy house, the boss-shaped protrusion protruding from the column part is fitted into the round hole of the floor part. Usually, in order to prevent the toy house from being easily disassembled, the protrusion and the round hole are interference-fitted with a predetermined interference amount. When disassembling the toy house, the fit between the protrusion and the round hole can be released by swinging the column part left and right. However, in this case, the protrusion may break. In particular, when the user is a child, it is difficult to adjust the force, resulting in the protrusion being easily broken.

[0005] The object of the present invention is to provide a toy house which is easy to assemble and disassemble.

[0006] According to aspects of the present disclosure, a toy house includes: a base component having a plate shape, the base component including a mating hole portion, the mating hole portion including a plurality of holes and an attachment surface; and a toy house body, the toy house body including at least one wall portion, the at least one wall portion having a plate shape and capable of being attached to the attachment surface, the at least one wall portion including: a mounting portion having a contact surface, the contact surface being configured to contact the attachment surface; and a mating protrusion, the mating protrusion including a plurality of protrusions protruding from the contact surface and being configured to mate with the mating hole portion, wherein the mounting portion includes a lever portion protruding outwardly relative to an outer surface of the mating protrusion, and a width of a portion of the mounting portion protruding relative to an inner surface of the mating protrusion is smaller than a width of the lever portion.

[0007] According to the above aspects, a toy house that is easy to assemble and disassemble can be provided. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[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 and a plate-shaped base member 100. 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 a plate-shaped wall portion 11 disposed opposite to each other on the left and right sides and a plate-shaped 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 the second floor portion. The floor member 13 is configured to be able to pass through a plate-shaped guide portion 4 (see FIG. 1 ) that is long in the front-rear direction. Figure 4) moves in the front-rear direction and is detachably provided on the toy house body 10. The toy house body 10 is provided with a toy ladder 20 spanning a floor part 13 and a base part 100 constituting a first floor part. In addition, a part of the roof is formed on the rear side of the second floor part.

[0019] The upper surface of the base member 100 serves as the attachment surface 101 of the toy house body 10. The attachment surface 101 has grooves arranged in a lattice shape, forming a wood grain pattern in the style of a board. Note that the upper surface of the floor member 13 is also similarly provided with grooves forming a wood grain pattern in the style of a board.

[0020] The base member 100 is provided with a fitting hole portion 110 (see Figure 2 ), the mating hole portion is mated with the mating protrusion 30 (see Figure 3 ) are matched. The parts where the matching protrusion 30 and the matching hole portion 110 match each other in a concave-convex matching manner are arranged near the left and right ends of the rear side of the toy house 1. The matching protrusions 30 and matching hole portions 110 arranged on the left and right sides are formed in a symmetrical and identical structure. Therefore, the following description will focus on the matching protrusion 30 and matching hole portion 110 on the left side.

[0021] like Figure 2 As shown, the mating hole portion 110 is composed of a plurality of (i.e., five) holes arranged in the front-to-back direction. The central hole among the five holes is the first insertion hole portion 111 serving as an insertion hole portion. The first insertion hole portion 111 is a non-through recessed hole having a generally long rectangular shape that is long in the front-to-back direction. Two engaging hole portions 113 are provided adjacent to the first insertion hole portion 111 at both end sides in the length direction of the first insertion hole portion 111. Each engaging hole portion 113 is formed as a recessed hole portion having a generally long rectangular shape that is long in the front-to-back direction. As shown in FIG. Figure 2 and Figure 7 As shown, each engaging hole portion 113 is provided with an engaging protrusion 113a long in the front-rear direction on the outer wall surface. A through hole 113b having a substantially long rectangular shape long in the front-rear direction is provided on the bottom surface of each engaging hole portion 113.

[0022] like Figure 2 As shown, the second insertion hole portion 112 is respectively arranged at the front side of the front engaging hole portion 113 and the rear side of the rear engaging hole portion 113, as an insertion hole portion adjacent to each engaging hole portion 113. Insertion ribs 114 are respectively arranged between the first insertion hole portion 111 and the front and rear engaging hole portions 113, and between the front and rear engaging hole portions 113 and the front and rear adjacent second insertion hole portions 112.

[0023] The first insertion hole 111 and the second insertion hole 112 have substantially the same dimensions in the left-right direction (width direction) and the up-down direction (depth) (see FIG. Figure 5 The engagement hole 113 has substantially the same size in the left-right direction as the first insertion hole 111 and the second insertion hole 112. The engagement hole 113 has a size in the up-down direction that is larger than the size of the first insertion hole 111 and the second insertion hole 112 (see FIG. Figure 5 ).

[0024] like Figure 3 As shown, the lower end of the wall portion 11 is provided with a mounting portion 11a, which has a substantially long rectangular plate shape with a narrow width and long in the front-to-back direction in a manner orthogonal to the wall portion 11. The outer edge surface of the mounting portion 11a is substantially continuous with the corresponding edge surface of the base member 100 (see Figure 6 and Figure 7 ). The lower surface of the mounting portion 11a is configured as a contact surface 11a1. The contact surface 11a1 is a surface that comes into contact with the attachment surface 101 when the toy house body 10 is attached to the attachment surface 101 of the base member 100. The contact surface 11a1 is provided with a mating protrusion 30 including a plurality of protrusions protruding from the contact surface 11a1.

[0025] The mating protrusion 30 is provided with a first insertion protrusion 31, which is an insertion protrusion having a substantially long rectangular plate shape that is long in the front-to-back direction. Two second insertion protrusions 32 are provided at both ends of the first insertion protrusion 31, which are insertion portions having a substantially long rectangular plate shape that is shorter than the length of the first insertion protrusion 31. Two elastic protrusions 33 are provided between the first insertion protrusion 31 and the second insertion protrusion 32, and the elastic protrusion 33 is formed to be thinner than the insertion protrusions (the first insertion protrusion 31 and the second insertion protrusion 32) and has elasticity. The first insertion protrusion 31 and the second insertion protrusion 32 are formed to have the same thickness.

[0026] An engaging recess 33a having a substantially long rectangular concave shape that is long in the front-rear direction is provided on the outer side of the elastic protrusion 33. A gap S is provided between the insertion protrusion and the elastic protrusion 33, specifically, between the first insertion protrusion 31 and the elastic protrusion 33 and between the second insertion protrusion 32 and the elastic protrusion 33.

[0027] like Figure 4As shown, the inner surface 35a of the insertion protrusion (first insertion protrusion 31, second insertion protrusion 32) of the mating protrusion 30 is substantially flush with the inner surface of the elastic protrusion 33. As described above, since the elastic protrusion 33 is formed to be thinner than the first insertion protrusion 31 and the second insertion protrusion 32, the outer surface 35b of the insertion protrusion (first insertion protrusion 31 and the second insertion protrusion 32) of the mating protrusion 30 is located outside the outer surface of the elastic protrusion 33.

[0028] Here, the inner surface of the wall portion 11 is set to be an obtuse angle θ1 formed with respect to the inner surface of the connecting wall portion 12 on the rear side. For example, θ1 is set to 92 degrees (θ1=92°). Therefore, when viewed from the front side, the toy house 1 can have a large internal space. On the other hand, the inner surface 35a of the mating protrusion 30 is set to be a right angle with respect to the angle θ2 formed with respect to the inner surface of the connecting wall portion 12. Even when the wall portion 11 is expanded forward, since the length direction of the mating protrusion 30 provided on the wall portion 11 is orthogonal to the connecting wall portion 12, the torsion of the mating protrusion 30 can be reduced when the user removes the toy house body 10 from the base member 100.

[0029] Furthermore, the mounting portion 11a is formed in a substantially right-angled trapezoidal shape in a plan view. That is, one side of the outer side of the mounting portion 11a is at a right angle relative to the connecting wall portion 12. One side of the inner side of the mounting portion 11a is inclined to imitate the inclination of the wall portion 11, in accordance with the expanded wall portion 11. The mounting portion 11a is provided with a lever portion 11a2 protruding outward relative to the outer surface 35b of the fitting protrusion 30 in the front-rear direction.

[0030] Here, the width W2 of the portion of the mounting portion protruding relative to the inner surface 35a of the insertion protrusion of the mating protrusion 30 (the distance from the inner surface 35a to the inner edge of the mounting portion 11a) is smaller than the width W1 of the lever portion 11a2 (the distance from the outer surface 35b to the outer edge of the mounting portion 11a) (see also Figure 6 ). In addition, the width W2 of the portion protruding relative to the inner surface 35a of the insertion protrusion of the mating protrusion 30 is set to gradually decrease from the rear to the front. In particular, the width W2 disappears at the portion in front of the second insertion protrusion 32 on the front side. In this way, the edge 11b (see also) of the base end (inside the upper surface of the mounting portion 11a) of the wall portion 11 provided in an expanded manner Figure 1 ) can be made constant, and the protrusion amount of the edge 11b can be made smaller, so that toy furniture (not shown) such as a toy wardrobe can be arranged so that when the toy furniture is arranged in the toy house 1, the inner surface of the wall 11 and the rear surface of the toy furniture are close to or in contact with each other.

[0031] like Figure 5As shown, when the toy house body 10 is attached to the base member 100, the mating protrusion 30 is mated with the mating hole 110. More specifically, the first insertion protrusion 31 is inserted into the first insertion hole 111 and mated in a concave-convex mating manner. The two second insertion protrusions 32 are respectively inserted into the second insertion hole 112 and mated in a concave-convex mating manner. Figure 6 As shown, the concave-convex fit between the insertion protrusions (first insertion protrusions 31, second insertion protrusions 32) and the insertion hole portions (first insertion hole portions 111, second insertion hole portions 112) is press-fitted to such an extent that attachment and detachment are possible.

[0032] like Figure 5 As shown in FIG. 1 , the two elastic protrusions 33 are respectively inserted into the engaging holes 113. Figure 7 As shown, the engaging protrusion 113a of the engaging hole portion 113 enters and engages with the engaging recess 33a of the elastic protrusion 33. In addition, the insertion rib 114 arranged between the insertion protrusion and the engaging hole portion 113 is inserted into the corresponding gap S in the mating protrusion 30. As a result, the movement of the toy house body 10 relative to the base member 100 is reliably restricted. In this way, the insertion protrusion and the insertion hole portion are press-fitted, the elastic protrusion 33 is engaged with the engaging hole portion 113, and the insertion rib 114 is inserted into the gap S, thereby firmly fixing the toy house body 10 to the base member 100.

[0033] When the toy house 1 is put away after playing, the toy house body 10 can be detached from the base member 100. Here, in the case where children are the main users, it is difficult to release the concave-convex fit between the fitting protrusion 30 and the fitting hole portion 110 by separating the toy house body 10 from the base member 100 substantially vertically. Therefore, when the user is a child, there is a case where the left side or the right side of the toy house body 10 is lifted to release the fitting state between the fitting protrusion 30 and the fitting hole portion 110 one by one.

[0034] In the toy house 1, when one of the left and right sides of the toy house body 10 is lifted to release the engagement state between the engagement protrusion 30 and the engagement hole portion 110, as shown in FIG. Figure 8As shown, the concave-convex fit between the mating protrusion 30 on the other side and the mating hole portion 110 forms a support point between the lower surface of the lever portion 11a2 and the upper surface (attachment surface 101) of the base member 100 facing the lower surface of the lever portion 11a2. Then, since the support point receives the force, the insertion protrusion (first insertion protrusion 31, second insertion protrusion 32) can be detached from the insertion hole portion (first insertion hole portion 111, second insertion hole portion 112) without applying excessive force to the insertion protrusion (first insertion protrusion 31, second insertion protrusion 32). Note that since the elastic protrusion 33 has elasticity, the elastic protrusion 33 is slightly bent when the insertion protrusion is attached to and detached from the insertion hole portion, and the engaging protrusion 113a is engaged with and disengaged from the engaging recess 33a.

[0035] According to the embodiments of the present disclosure described above, a toy house according to the following aspects can be provided.

[0036] According to the first aspect, the toy house includes: a base component, which has a plate shape, and the base component includes a matching hole portion, which includes a plurality of holes and an attachment surface; and a toy house body, which includes at least one wall portion, which has a plate shape and can be attached to the attachment surface, and the at least one wall portion includes: a mounting portion, which has a contact surface, which is configured to contact the attachment surface; and a matching protrusion, which includes a plurality of protrusions protruding from the contact surface and is configured to cooperate with the matching hole portion, wherein the mounting portion includes a lever portion, which protrudes outward relative to the outer surface of the matching protrusion, and the width of the portion of the mounting portion protruding relative to the inner surface of the matching protrusion is smaller than the width of the lever portion.

[0037] According to this configuration, the toy house body can be easily attached to the base part by the concave-convex fit between the mating protrusion and the mating hole part, and even children can easily remove the toy house body from the base part by first lifting the left or right side of the toy house body. Therefore, by separating the toy house body and the base part after the game, the toy house body and the base part can be compactly stored. In addition, the toy house body and the base part are firmly fixed by the concave-convex fit between the mating protrusion and the mating hole part. Therefore, even if the toy house body is lifted in a state where the toy furniture is placed on the base part in the toy house body, the base part will be maintained and will not fall, so the toy house can be easily moved, etc. In addition, since the width of the part protruding relative to the inner surface of the mating protrusion can be made small, the toy furniture can be arranged with a good appearance. In addition, since the toy house can be packaged in a state where the toy house body and the base part are separated, the packaging material can be made small, so that a toy house can be provided as a product that takes into account environmental issues such as reducing transportation costs and reducing the amount of packaging materials.

[0038] In the toy house according to the second aspect, the mating protrusion includes an insertion protrusion and at least one elastic protrusion arranged at a predetermined interval, the at least one elastic protrusion is formed to be thinner than the insertion protrusion and has a snap-fit ​​recess, and the mating hole portion includes: an insertion hole portion, into which the insertion protrusion is inserted; a snap-fit ​​hole portion, into which the at least one elastic protrusion is inserted, the snap-fit ​​hole portion having a snap-fit ​​protrusion configured to snap-fit ​​with the snap-fit ​​recess; and an insertion rib, which is arranged between the insertion hole portion and the snap-fit ​​hole portion and is configured to be inserted between the insertion protrusion and the at least one elastic protrusion.

[0039] According to this configuration, the insertion protrusion and the insertion hole are press-fitted to facilitate fixing of the toy house body to the base member, the engaging protrusion engages with the engaging recess to firmly prevent detachment, and the resilient protrusion having elasticity also facilitates detachment.

[0040] In the toy house according to the third aspect, the engagement hole portion is provided on the outer side relative to the at least one wall portion.

[0041] According to this configuration, when the toy house body is removed from the base member by lifting the left side or the right side of the toy house body, the engagement between the engagement recess and the engagement projection can be easily released.

[0042] In the toy house according to the fourth aspect, the insertion protrusion is arranged along the at least one wall portion, the insertion protrusion includes a first insertion protrusion and two second insertion protrusions arranged at both ends of the first insertion protrusion, the two second insertion protrusions are each shorter than the first insertion protrusion, and the at least one elastic protrusion includes two elastic protrusions, and the two elastic protrusions are respectively arranged in two gaps formed between the first insertion protrusion and the two second insertion protrusions.

[0043] According to this configuration, the press-fit portion that positions and fixes in the horizontal direction and the portion that restricts the separation in the vertical direction by the elastic protrusion can be arranged in a balanced manner.

[0044] In the toy house according to the fifth aspect, the at least one wall portion includes two wall portions facing each other, and rear sides of the two wall portions are connected by a connecting wall portion having a plate shape so that the two wall portions are open to the front.

[0045] According to this configuration, it is possible to provide a toy house that makes the interior look spacious, is pleasing to the eye, and is easy to assemble and disassemble.

[0046] 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.
