[0014] Embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings. Figure 1A As shown, in the embodiment of the present disclosure, a piping bag model (hand-held item for a portrait) 10 that imitates a cream piping bag for cake decoration, etc. is exemplified. The piping bag model 10 is a model toy that can be attached to the hand of a portrait model for playing a role-playing baking game. The piping bag model 10 is formed in an overall longitudinally elongated, generally flat oval shape, and includes a closing portion 12, a main body portion 14, and a nozzle portion 16. A portion of the main body portion 14 is provided with an open opening portion 20 (see FIG. 1 ). Figure 1B ).

[0015] The shape of the closing portion 12 imitates the closed upper portion of the bag portion of a cream decorating bag (the cream is enclosed in the bag portion). The main body portion 14 has a shape imitating the bag portion of a cream decorating bag, in which the cream is enclosed. The nozzle portion 16 has a shape imitating the nozzle portion of a cream decorating bag, from which the cream is dispensed. Hereinafter, the closing portion 12 side of the decorating bag model 10 is referred to as the upper side of the decorating bag model 10, the nozzle portion 16 side is referred to as the lower side of the decorating bag model 10, the side of the main body portion 14 provided with the opening portion 20 is referred to as the rear side of the decorating bag model 10, and the opposite side is referred to as the front side of the decorating bag model 10.

[0016] like Figure 1B and Figure 2 As shown, the opening portion 20 has a bilaterally symmetrical shape. The opening end 20a of the opening portion 20 is configured by an upper opening end (hereinafter referred to as "upper opening end 20a1") formed by two curved lines and a lower opening end (hereinafter referred to as "lower opening end 20a2") formed by two straight lines. A step portion 22 in the form of a step is provided on the inner wall located on the inner side of the upper opening end 20a1.

[0017] Inside the step portion 22, a recessed portion 24 is provided which is recessed toward the front side. At least a portion of the hand of the portrait model is inserted into the recessed portion 24. A portion of the opening end 24a of the recessed portion 24 is defined by a portion of the end edge of the step portion 22 on the side opposite to the upper opening portion 20a1, and another portion thereof is defined by a portion of the opening end 20a of the opening portion 20. Figure 2 As shown, when viewed in a plan view, the open end 24a of the recess 24 has a substantially regular hexagonal shape. Therefore, the recess 24 includes six corners (hereinafter, the upper corner is referred to as the "first corner 24C1", and the other corners are referred to as the "second corner 24C2", "third corner 24C3", "fourth corner 24C4", "fifth corner 24C5", and "sixth corner 24C6" in clockwise order from the "first corner 24C1").

[0018] All six corners of the first corner 24C1 to the sixth corner 24C6 have a rounded shape. Among them, the first corner 24C1 and the fourth corner 24C4, the second corner 24C2 and the fifth corner 24C5, and the third corner 24C3 and the sixth corner 24C6 face each other on the diagonal line of the recess 24, respectively. In addition, among the inner walls in the recess 24, the inner wall between the second corner 24C2 and the third corner 24C3 and the inner wall between the fifth corner 24C5 and the sixth corner 24C6 are formed as protrusions 26 that protrude slightly inward. Both protrusions 26 and 26 have a bilaterally symmetrical shape, and are formed to protrude inward in a substantially circular arc shape when viewed in a plan view.

[0019] The bottom surface 24b of the recess 24 (see Figure 3 ) is set to be much wider than the step portion 22. Figure 3 As shown, a depth dimension D2 from the surface 14a of the main body portion 14 near the opening portion 20 to the bottom surface 24b of the recess 24 is formed to be greater than a depth dimension D1 from the surface 14a to the step portion 22. For this reason, when the hand of the portrait model is inserted into the recess 24, most or all of the hand is stored in the recess 24, and a part of the hand of the portrait model either contacts the step portion 22 or does not contact it at all, depending on the size of the hand of the portrait model.

[0020] Next, we will refer to Figure 4A and Figure 4B as well as Figure 5A and Figure 5B The insertion conditions of the right hands of portrait models of different sizes into the concave portion 24 of the piping bag model 10 are described. Figure 4A and 4B The insertion aspect when using a small figurine model imitating a child's figure (hereinafter referred to as "small figurine model M1") is shown. Figure 5A and 5BThe insertion aspect when a large portrait model imitating an adult portrait (hereinafter referred to as "large portrait model M2") is used is shown. Note that Figure 4A and Figure 4B The insertion aspect is illustrated in the case where the right hand M1h of the miniature model M1 is sized to fit exactly into the recess 24, and Figure 5A and Figure 5B The insertion aspect is illustrated in the case where the size of the right hand M2 h of the large portrait model M2 is set so that a part thereof protrudes from the recessed portion 24 .

[0021] like Figure 4A and Figure 4B As shown, when the right hand M1h of the small portrait model M1 is inserted into the recess 24, the right hand M1h including the thumb M1ha is completely stored in the recess 24 and is held while being pressed inward by the protrusions 26 and 26. At this time, the direction of the right hand M1h can be adjusted and positioned so that the two sides of the right hand M1h are located at the two corners on the diagonal line of the recess 24 (at Figure 4A and Figure 4B In the example shown, the third corner 24C3 and the sixth corner 24C6). For this reason, the piping bag model 10 can be reliably held on the right hand M1h of the small portrait model M1 in any direction.

[0022] In this way, in a doll model with a small hand, the hand is completely stored in the recess 24 and is held while being pressed inward by the protrusions 26 and 26. In addition, by positioning both sides of the hand at the two corners located on the diagonal line of the recess 24, the hand can be held in any direction.

[0023] On the other hand, Figure 5A and 5B As shown, when the right hand M2h of the large portrait model M2 is inserted into the recess 24, the entire right hand M2h cannot be stored in the recess 24, and the portion other than the thumb M2ha is stored in the recess 24, and the thumb M2ha is supported when placed on the step portion 22. Except for the thumb M2ha, both sides of the portion are fitted to the two corners located on the diagonal line of the recess 24 (at the bottom of the step portion 22) in a manner avoiding the two protrusions 26 and 26. Figure 5A and 5B In the example shown, the third corner portion 24C3 and the sixth corner portion 24C6 are positioned, and the portion facing the two protrusions 26 and 26 is supported by the two protrusions 26 and 26.

[0024] In this way, in the case of a portrait model with a large hand, a part of the hand protruding from the recess 24 is supported while being placed on the step portion, and the other part is stored in the recess 24 in a manner avoiding the two protruding portions 26 and 26, with both sides thereof fitting in the two corners located on the diagonal line of the recess 24. By doing so, when the part stored in the recess 24 is positioned by the two corners (in other words, when the direction of the hand is adjusted), the part facing the two protruding portions 26 and 26 is supported by the two protruding portions 26 and 26 and held in the recess 24.

[0025] As described above, the piping bag model 10 according to the embodiment of the present disclosure can be held by the hands of the portrait, regardless of whether the hands of the portrait are large or small. Therefore, a piping bag model 10 suitable for portraits of various sizes can be realized.

[0026] According to an embodiment of the present disclosure, a handheld article for portraits in the following aspects may be provided.

[0027] A handheld article for a figure according to a first aspect includes an opening portion; a step portion formed in a step shape from a portion of an inner wall within the opening portion; a recess provided on an inner side of the step portion within the opening portion, the recess being configured to allow at least a portion of a hand of the figure to be inserted into the recess; and a pair of protrusions protruding inwardly from a pair of opposing inner walls defining the recess, wherein an opening end of the recess is formed into a substantially regular hexagon in a plan view of the opening portion.

[0028] In this configuration, for a portrait with a smaller hand, the hand is completely stored in the recess and is held by pressing inward by the two protrusions. In addition, the hand can be held in any direction by positioning the two sides of the hand at the two corners located on the diagonal of the recess, in which the open end is formed into a roughly regular hexagon. On the other hand, in the case of a portrait with a larger hand, a part of the hand protruding from the recess is placed and supported on the step portion, while the other part is stored in the recess in a manner avoiding the two protrusions, and its two sides fit into the two corners located on the diagonal of the recess. That is, when the part stored in the recess is positioned by the two corners, the part facing the two protrusions is supported by the two protrusions and held in the recess. Therefore, a handheld item for portraits can be provided, which can be suitable for portraits of various sizes.

[0029] In the hand-held article for a figure according to the second aspect, the pair of protrusions is formed in a substantially circular arc shape in a plan view of the opening portion. With this configuration, compared with a case where the two protrusions have an angular shape, a part of the figure's hand is less likely to be damaged, and an area where the two protrusions contact a part of the figure's hand becomes larger, thereby allowing the protrusions to effectively hold and support the figure's hand.

[0030] In the hand-held article for a human figure according to the third aspect, the pair of protrusions are symmetrical in shape. With this structure, since the aspects of holding and supporting a part of the human figure's hand by the corresponding protrusions are substantially the same, a part of the human figure's hand can be held and supported in any direction by the two protrusions.

[0031] In the hand-held article for a human figure according to the fourth aspect, the six corners forming the recessed portion of the substantially regular hexagonal shape all have rounded shapes. With this configuration, compared with the case where each corner has an angular shape, it is possible to make a part of the human figure's hand that is fitted and positioned at the two corners located on the diagonal line of the recessed portion less likely to be damaged.

[0032] Although the embodiments of the present invention have been described, the present invention is not limited to the above embodiments, and various changes may be made without departing from the scope thereof. For example, in the above embodiments, the piping bag model imitating a cream piping bag has been exemplified as a hand-held item for portraits, but such limitation is not intended, and models imitating various things may be used.
