[0086] Figure 1 is a top view of the toy 1, Figure 2 1 is a schematic diagram showing the toy 1 in a worn state.

[0087] Figure 1 The toy 1 shown is a glove-type toy 1 worn on the hand, and can be worn, for example, in a manner that covers the palm and the back of the hand from the wrist. In addition, the toy 1 has, for example, a second storage portion 22 for the thumb to be placed in, a third storage portion 23 for the fingers other than the thumb to be placed in, and is a type that exposes the top portion of each of the five fingers. When the toy 1 is worn on the hand, it feels like punching in martial arts, boxing, etc. Figure 2 According to the action, the electric unit 30 provided inside the toy 1 detects movement using a detector such as an acceleration sensor, and is driven by a switch operation to emit various sounds, character lines, etc., to perform hand movements.

[0088] Toy 1 is for example Figure 2 When the toy 1 is worn on both hands (right hand Rh, left hand Lh), a specific performance can be performed as described later by utilizing the interaction between the left and right toys 1. In addition, the toy 1 does not necessarily have to be worn on both hands, and can also be worn on only one side.

[0089] Figure 3 It is an exploded perspective view showing a state in which the electric unit 30 is removed.

[0090] For example, Figure 3 As shown, the electrical system disposed in the toy 1 includes an electrical unit 30, a second operating unit 32 connected to the electrical unit 30 via a first connection line 30a, and a communication unit 33 connected to the electrical unit 30 via a second connection line 30b. Figure 3 The structure shown may be, for example, a structure in which the second operating part 32 is provided on the right hand, but a structure in which the second operating part 32 is not provided on the left hand. The second operating part 32 is provided for switching a plurality of performance modes provided in the toy 1.

[0091] The electric unit 30 has a bulging curved surface on one side 30u (the upper side in the figure) and a substantially flat surface on the other side 30d (the lower side in the figure). The surface 30u on one side is configured to face the speaker 35, and the surface 30d on the other side is provided with a first operating unit 31 such as a power switch and a cover 38 for a battery storage unit (see FIG. 1 ). Figure 5 ) etc. The electric unit 30 is housed in the first housing portion 21 described later (see Figure 5) In addition, the electric unit 30 is arranged in a direction in which the other side surface 30d is located on the back of the hand in the stored state.

[0092] The second operating portion 32 has a long and narrow switch main body portion 32a as shown in the figure, and a push-type switch portion 32b, for example, is provided on one end side thereof.

[0093] The communication unit 33 is configured in a square flat shape as a whole, and an infrared sensor 33a capable of communicating using infrared rays is provided on one surface.

[0094] Figure 4 It is a plan view showing the left and right palm sides of the toy 1.

[0095] As described above, the second operating portion 32 is provided on the toy 1R on the right hand side, but is stored in the fifth storage portion 25 located on the palm side and configured to correspond to the length from the index finger to the little finger. Moreover, the switch portion 32b is configured in a manner facing the thumb side. Thus, it can be operated by the thumb. The communication portion 33 is stored in the fourth storage portion 24 on the inner side of each of the left and right wrists. An opening 10h is provided in the fourth storage portion 24. The opening 10h becomes a portion for exposing the infrared sensor 33a of the communication portion 33. Thus, infrared communication can be performed.

[0096] Figure 5 It is a plan view showing the palm side of the toy 1 in the unfolded state, with the first cover portion 11 opened.

[0097] like Figure 5 As shown, in the unfolded state, the toy 1 includes: a third covering portion 13, which includes a first storage portion 21 for storing the electric unit 30 and a third storage portion 23 capable of storing fingers other than the thumb; a second covering portion 12, which includes a second storage portion 22 capable of storing the thumb; and a wrapping portion 14, which is unfolded to the side opposite to the second covering portion 12 (the left side in the figure) and wrapped around the wrist. In addition, the third storage portion 23 has four storage holes 23a, 23b, 23c, and 23d for storing each finger from the index finger to the little finger. The third storage portion 23 can also cover the connection between each finger from the index finger to the little finger and the palm.

[0098] In the third covering portion 13, the electric unit 30 is housed in the first housing portion 21 provided in the region corresponding to the proximal phalanx from the index finger to the little finger (see Figure 1 ). In addition, a first covering portion 11 capable of opening and closing the first housing portion 21 is provided. The first covering portion 11 is configured, for example, such that one end side 11e is connected to the third covering portion 13, and the other end side 11t on the side opposite to the one end side 11e is a free end capable of opening and closing relative to the third covering portion 13 and capable of changing position.

[0099] When the toy 1 is in the storage state of the electric unit 30, the first cover 11 is opened. Figure 5 In the state shown, a part of the surface 30d on the other side of the electric unit 30 can be seen. That is, the first operating portion 31 and the cover 38 of the battery storage portion are exposed. A surface connector 11f is provided on the other end side 11t of the first covering portion 11, which side can be seen in the opened state. In addition, the communication portion 33 is stored in the fourth storage portion 24, and the fourth storage portion 24 is located on the base end side of the wrapping portion 14 (the side close to the third covering portion 13). In addition, a relatively large surface connector 14f is provided on the top end side of the wrapping portion 14 (the left side in the figure), and when wrapped around the wrist, a surface connector on the other side (not shown) is provided at a position facing the surface connector 14f.

[0100] In the toy 1, the inner surface 10i that directly contacts the hand wearing the toy is soft, such as a napped cloth, and is made of a relatively soft cloth-like material. On the other hand, the outer skin 10s of the toy 1 is made of a relatively glossy material such as the leather of a boxing glove or artificial leather. The first cover 11 is made of a flexible material such as cloth.

[0101] Figure 6 It is a plan view showing the closed state of the first covering portion 11 in the state where the toy 1 is unfolded.

[0102] When the toy 1 is unfolded, for example, after the first operating portion 31 is operated, Figure 6 As shown, the first covering portion 11 is closed. The first covering portion 11 is closed by inserting the other end side 11t into the inner side of the lower edge 23t of the third storage portion 23. As a result, the surface connecting member 11f contacts the inner surface 10i (the inner surface on the side facing the lower edge 23t) of the inner side of the third storage portion 23 and is fixed. In other words, the surface connecting member 11f functions as a holding portion that holds the first covering portion 11 to the third covering portion 13. By closing the first covering portion 11, the electric unit 30 is covered and cannot be seen from the outside even when the toy 1 is unfolded.

[0103] When wearing toy 1, Figure 6 As shown, first, four fingers other than the thumb are inserted into the third storage portion 23, and the thumb is inserted into the second storage portion 22 of the second cover portion 12 in the expanded state (the fourth position). Then, the second cover portion 12 is closed with the connection portion 12t connected to the third cover portion 13 (the third position).

[0104] In this closed state, the second covering part 12 covers the palm of the hand, and its top end 12e is held in contact with the third covering part 13. A surface connector F is provided inside the lower edge 23t of the third storage part 23 in the third covering part 13, and the surface connector F serves as a mounting part for mounting the second covering part. A surface connector F serving as a mounted part of the mounting part is provided at a corresponding position of the second covering part 12. The portion of the second covering part 12 where the surface connector F is provided and the surrounding portion are inserted into the inner side of the third storage part 23 and engaged with the surface connector F in the third storage part 23, so that the second covering part 12 is firmly held in the third covering part 13. Thus, the back of the hand is covered by the third covering part 13, and the palm of the hand is covered by the second covering part 12. In addition, in the closed state (third position) of the second covering part 12, the upper end 12u of the second covering part 12 covers the first covering part 11. That is, the second covering portion 12 is arranged so that the outer skin 10s of the second covering portion 12 and the outer skin 10s of the third housing portion 23 are connected, and the second covering portion 12 covers the palm side.

[0105] Then, the wrapping portion 14 is wrapped around the wrist in a manner that presses the outer side of the second covering portion 12, thereby completing the wearing of the toy 1. The wrapping portion 14 has a length that can be wrapped around the wrist once or more, for example, and can be reliably wrapped and fixed to the wrist.

[0106] In addition, in the right hand (Rh), the switch portion 32b of the second operating portion 32 for controlling the operation of the electrical unit 30 is arranged near the thumb as described above. Thus, the switch portion 32b can be easily operated while playing the game by moving the hand. In addition, the second operating portion 32 is provided in a state covered by the skin 10s, but the switch body 32a is a length extending from the storage hole 23a to the storage hole 23d (a length close to the width of the hand), so that the switch body 32a can be easily operated while holding the switch body 32a ( Figure 2 It is easy to operate in the state shown).

[0107] Figure 7 It is a schematic side view showing an example of a communicable state of the communication unit 33 .

[0108] As described above, the communication unit 33 is provided in the winding unit 14. Figure 7 As shown, by making the communication unit 33 face each other, the left and right toys 1 (1L, 1R) can communicate with each other. For example, when worn on the hand, the communication unit 33 is arranged at the inner side of the wrist, and by making the left and right wrists face each other, the left and right toys communicate with each other, thereby making special sounds and performing performances in the wrist-facing posture.

[0109] In addition, the communication unit 33 not only has a communication function based on infrared rays, but also serves as a switch that can be pressed. For example, when the wrists are in a posture facing each other, the switch can be pressed to make the wrists touch each other, so that the switch operation can be performed. In this way, the switch operation can be performed simultaneously in addition to the communication operation, so that more performances can be performed.

[0110] As described above, the toy 1 of this form is a toy 1 that is provided with the electric unit 30 and is worn on the hand for use, wherein, when worn on the hand, the first covering portion 11 is disposed between the first housing portion 21 that houses the electric unit 30 and the hand, thereby stably holding the electric unit 30. In addition, when worn on the hand, the first covering portion 11 is disposed between the first housing portion 21 that houses the electric unit 30 and the hand, thereby making the feeling of contact with the electric unit 30 softer.

[0111] Moreover, in the toy 1 of this form, the first storage portion 21 is arranged in the area corresponding to the proximal phalanx from the index finger to the little finger, so that when worn on the hand, the bulge of the back of the hand and its surrounding area can be performed, and the fun of the toy 1 can be increased by performing the appearance of martial arts and sports such as karate and boxing.

[0112] In the toy 1 of this embodiment, the first cover portion 11 is movable (opened and closed) between the first position and the second position, so that the electric unit 30 can be easily operated. For example, the power supply and the first operating portion 31 of the electric unit 30 can be easily controlled.

[0113] In the toy 1 of this form, the second covering portion 12 can be displaced between a position (third position) covering at least a portion of the first covering portion 11 and a position (fourth position) exposing at least a portion of the first covering portion 11, thereby protecting the electrical unit 30 during storage and transportation of the toy 1.

[0114] In addition, in the toy 1 of this form, the second covering portion 12 having the second storage portion 22 for inserting the thumb is configured to be openable and closable relative to the third covering portion 13 having the third storage portion 23 for accommodating fingers other than the thumb. Therefore, the toy 1 can be worn on the hand with the hand open, and the wearability is good.

[0115] In the toy 1 of this form, the first cover 11 is provided with a surface fastener 11f or the like at the other end 11t in the closed position (first position), so that the first cover 11 can be reliably fixed even when the hand is moved violently. Furthermore, the other end 11t is inserted into the inner side of the third storage portion 23, so that the other end 11t can be effectively pressed by the electric unit 30 and the proximal phalanx of the fingers other than the thumb, and can be more firmly held.

[0116] The toy 1 of this embodiment is provided with the wrapping portion 14 that can wrap around the wrist more than one turn, so that the toy 1 can be securely fixed so as not to fall off even when the hand is vigorously moved.

[0117] In the toy 1 of this form, there is a communication unit 33 capable of communicating with other toys 1, so that a variety of performance effects can be achieved. In addition, by setting a structure in which the communication unit 33 capable of infrared communication is arranged on the inner side of the wrist, it is easy to communicate with the toys 1 worn on the left and right sides of both hands. Moreover, it can also be set as follows: the communication unit 33 includes a push switch inside, and the member constituting the outer peripheral surface of the communication unit 33 that functions as a communication window for infrared communication is arranged in a displaceable manner, so that the displaceable member (displacement member) can perform the operation of pressing the push switch. By setting such a structure, the pressing operation of the switch can be easily performed.

[0118] In the toy 1 of this form, the second operating part 32 capable of operating the electric unit 30 is provided at a position that can be operated by the thumb, so that the activation of the performance effect can be freely operated while the hand is moved vigorously. Moreover, the second operating part 32 is configured in an elongated shape in which its switch body 32a is stored inside the palm when the hand is clenched, so that the operation can be performed even when the hand is moved. In addition, the second operating part 32 is covered by the epidermis 10s, so it is not exposed in appearance, which is a clever structure.

[0119] In the above, one form of the present invention has been described, but the present invention can be appropriately changed within the scope of its technical concept. For example, the first covering portion 11 can also be configured to be detachable. A decorative portion representing a character or the like can also be provided on the surface of the wrapping portion 14 facing the back of the hand in the wrapped state. In addition, in the above form, the second operating portion 32 is provided only on the right hand, but it is not limited to this structure, and it can also be provided on both the left and right sides.
