[0006] Patent Document 1: Japanese Patent No. 7093904 Summary of the invention

[0007] Problem that the invention aims to solve

[0008] In the above-mentioned prior art, the hand grip is natural, but when the hand is used to hold a decorative part such as a weapon, a gripping force is required by the hand grip. In order to increase the gripping force, the bend of the finger joint needs to be made harder, which may make it difficult to operate. On the other hand, if the gripping force is weak, the decorative part will fall off frequently, which is annoying.

[0009] In addition, in order to improve the gripping force, a structure in which a fitting portion that fits with the decorative part is provided at a part of the hand part for connection is considered. However, in this case, although the decorative part is difficult to separate from the part of the hand part, the hand part itself will fall apart, resulting in a problem that the decorative part frequently falls off.

[0010] The present invention provides a new structure for appropriately installing decorative parts in, for example, a model toy.

[0011] Solutions for solving problems

[0012] The present invention is, for example, a model toy, characterized in that the model toy comprises: a first accessory; a second accessory connected to the first accessory; and a third accessory connecting the first accessory and the second accessory, wherein when the first accessory and the second accessory are connected, a connecting portion connected to the third accessory is formed on a prescribed surface, and when the third accessory is connected relative to the connecting portion formed by the first accessory and the second accessory, the connection among the first accessory, the second accessory and the third accessory is fixed.

[0013] In addition, the present invention is, for example, a model component, characterized in that the model component comprises: a first accessory; a second accessory, which is connected to the first accessory; and a third accessory, which connects the first accessory and the second accessory, and when the first accessory and the second accessory are connected, a connecting portion connected to the third accessory is formed on a specified surface, and when the third accessory is connected relative to the connecting portion formed by the first accessory and the second accessory, the connection between the first accessory, the second accessory and the third accessory is fixed.

The back of the hand 204 is formed by accessories different from the finger portions, and serves to connect the accessory group that forms the finger portions and the palm portion. The details of the connection structure will be described later.

[0032] like Figure 2 As shown in (b), the right hand part 106b is constructed to include a plurality of accessories 211 to 213. Accessory 211 corresponds to the first accessory, and constitutes the finger parts 202b to 202e and a part of the palm. Accessory 212 corresponds to the second accessory, and constitutes the finger part 202a and a part of the palm. When accessory 211 and accessory 212 are connected, a palm including the finger parts is formed. Accessory 213 corresponds to the third accessory, constitutes the back of the hand, and is an accessory for connecting and fixing accessory 211 and accessory 212.

[0033] <Assembly structure>

[0034] Reference Figure 3 and Figure 4 , describing the assembly structure of the hand component of this embodiment. Figure 3 The diagram shows a state where the component 211 and the component 212 are assembled. Figure 4 The figure shows a state where the accessory 213 is assembled to the assembled accessories 211 and 212 .

[0035] like Figure 3 As shown in (a), the attachment 211 and the attachment 212 are connected so that the connection part 301 of the attachment 211 overlaps the connection part 302 of the attachment 212. Specifically, the connection part 302 is formed into a concave shape so that the shape of the connection part 301 can be inserted, and the connection parts 301 and 302 are interlocked.

[0036] Figure 3 (b) shows a state where the accessory 211 and the accessory 212 are connected. When the accessory 211 and the accessory 212 are connected, a connecting portion 303 is formed at a position (predetermined surface) indicated by a dotted line area. This position corresponds to the back of the hand. The connecting portion 303 is formed with a convex portion 311 and concave portions 312 and 313. In addition, in this state, for example, if a force is applied in the up-down direction in the figure, the accessory 211 and the accessory 212 are easily separated.

[0037] Figure 4(a) shows the back side of the fitting 213. On the back side of the fitting 213, a concave portion 411 and convex portions 412 and 413 are formed. Figure 4 (b) shows a state where the accessory 213 is connected to the accessories 211 and 212 in a connected state. The accessory 213 is connected to the connecting portion 303 from above the accessories 211 and 212 in the figure. At this time, the convex portion 311 of the connecting portion 303 is engaged with the concave portion 411 of the accessory 213, the convex portion 412 of the accessory 213 is engaged with the concave portion 312 of the connecting portion 303, and the convex portion 413 of the accessory 213 is engaged with the concave portion 313 of the connecting portion 303, thereby connecting the accessory 213 to the accessories 211 and 212. Through these engaging mechanisms, the accessories 211 and 212 can be connected and fixed by the accessory 213. As a result, the accessories 211 to 213 can be prevented from being scattered.

[0038] <Structure of the grip>

[0039] Reference Figure 5 , the structure of the gripping portion in the right-hand member 106b of this embodiment will be described. Figure 5 The hand member 106 b obtained by assembling the accessories 211 to 213 is shown when viewed from the front of the model toy 100 .

[0040] Reference numeral 501 indicated by the dotted line area is a grip for gripping the decorative component. The grip 501 is formed by surrounding the hollow portion 502 with the fingers and the palm formed by the accessories 211 and 212. For example, by sandwiching a part of the decorative component in the hollow portion 502 and connecting the accessories 211 and 212, the decorative component can be prevented from falling off.

[0041] Furthermore, the protrusion 205 is located inside the grip 501 and is fitted into a recess formed in the gripped decorative component. This can improve the gripping force of the decorative component and suppress shaking.

[0042] <Installation of decorative parts (weapons)>

[0043] Reference Figure 6 , the installation of the decorative component of this embodiment with respect to the hand component 106 is described. Here, as a decorative component, a weapon component is used as an example for description. However, the present invention is not limited, and any other decorative component can be installed.

[0044] Figure 6(a) shows a weapon part 600 as a decorative part. The reference numeral 601 surrounded by the dotted line area corresponds to the gripping part of the weapon part 600. A recess 602 is formed in the gripping part 601. The recess 602 is also formed on the back side of the gripping part 601 in the figure, and the protrusion 205 formed on the left and right hand parts 106 can be inserted. Thus, the weapon part 600 can be installed in either the left or right hand part.

[0045] When the weapon component 600 is mounted on the hand component 106b, the accessory 211 is first arranged on the grip portion 601 of the weapon component 600. Figure 6 As shown in (b), the accessory 212 is connected to the accessory 211, and the protrusion 205 is fitted into the recess 602. In this state, the accessory 211 and the accessory 212 are in a state of gripping the grip portion 601.

[0046] In addition, since the right-hand member 106b is described as an example, the recess is formed on the back side of the grip portion 601. On the other hand, when the left-hand member 106a is attached, the protrusion formed on the left-hand member 106a is embedded in the recess 602 shown in the figure.

[0047] exist Figure 6 In (c), the accessory 213 is connected to the accessory 211 and the accessory 212 connected to the grip portion 601 of the weapon component 600 from the back side of the figure relative to the connection portion 303 formed on the accessory 211 and the accessory 212. As a result, the accessories 211 to 213 are connected and fixed in a state where the weapon component 600 is installed.

[0048] As described above, the model toy of the present embodiment includes a first accessory, a second accessory connected to the first accessory, and a third accessory connecting the first accessory and the second accessory.
