[0024] Hereinafter, embodiments will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. It should be noted that the following embodiments do not limit the invention related to the claims, and in addition, all combinations of the features described in the embodiments are not necessarily essential for the invention. Two or more of the features described in the embodiments can also be arbitrarily combined. In addition, the same reference numerals are assigned to the same or similar structures, and redundant descriptions are omitted.

[0025] <Structure of the model part (bow part)>

[0026] Refer to Figure 1 , and a structural example of the bow part as a model part installed in the model toy of the present embodiment will be described. Figure 1 (a) of shows the front view of the bow part 100 as a model part, Figure 1 (b) of shows the exploded front view of the bow part 100. In addition, the arrows of x, y, and z respectively indicate the orientations of the left, upper, and front directions of the model toy, and the same applies to other drawings.

[0027] In the present embodiment, a humanoid model toy is taken as an example for description, but it is not intended to limit the present invention, and the present invention can be applied to various models such as humans, animals, robots, insects, dinosaurs, weapons, and ornaments. In addition, the present invention is characterized by the model parts (decoration parts) installed on the model toy, such as the bow part, the arrow part, and the hand part, and therefore the drawings showing the entire model toy are omitted.

[0028] The bow part 100 as a model part is configured to include fittings 101 to 106. The fitting 101 corresponds to the first fitting and forms the grip part of the bow part. The grip part is the part held by the left hand part of the model toy. In addition, regarding the left hand part, as long as it holds the grip part, it can be any part. The fitting 102 corresponds to the second fitting and forms the upper fitting of the bow part. The fitting 103 corresponds to the third fitting and forms the lower fitting of the bow part.

[0029] The fitting 101 has connection parts at both ends, and the fittings 102 and 103 are respectively connected to each connection part in a rotatable manner. According to the present embodiment, the bending of the bow is represented by the rotation of the fittings 102 and 103, and the sense of presence in the use state of the weapon part can be provided. The details of the rotation structure will be described later.

[0030] To the fittings 102 and 103, the fitting 106 is connected to the ends on the sides opposite to the ends connected to the fitting 101, respectively. The fittings 104 and 105 are respectively fitted to the respective connection parts connected to the fitting 106 to prevent the detachment of the fitting 106. Specifically, both ends of the fitting 106 are respectively formed in an annular shape, and the ring is fitted into the cylindrical connection parts formed at the ends of the fittings 102 and 103, and the fittings 104 and 105 are fitted in a manner covering these fittings. The fitting 106 forms the string of the bow member and is formed of an elastic member. Therefore, the fitting 106 acts in a manner of being pulled in the direction in which a force is applied. Thus, the action of drawing the bow can be achieved.

[0031] <Structure of the model part (arrow part)>

[0032] Refer to Figure 2 and describe a structural example of the arrow part, which is a model part installed in the model toy of the present embodiment. Figure 2 (a) of [reference] shows the front view of the appearance of the arrow part 200 as a model part, Figure 2 (b) of [reference] shows the exploded front view of the arrow part 200.

[0033] The arrow part 200 is configured to include fittings 201 to 203. The fitting 201 corresponds to the arrowhead fitting. The fitting 202 corresponds to the arrow shaft fitting. The fitting 203 corresponds to the arrow feather fitting and is formed hollow and through to receive the arrow shaft fitting.

[0034] The fitting 201 is connected to one end of the fitting 202, and the fitting 203 is connected to the other end in a manner that can slide in the direction of the arrow in the figure. Thus, the arrow feather fitting of the arrow part of the present embodiment can slide relative to the arrow shaft. In addition, as described above, the inside of the fitting 203 is formed hollow and the hollow part is through. The hollow part is formed to insert the fitting 202 as the arrow shaft fitting. Thus, a part of the arrow shaft can protrude to the rear side of the arrow feather fitting. In the present embodiment, the connection to the hand part can be easily performed using this protruding part. The detailed installation structure will be described later.

[0035] <Structure of the hand part>

[0036] Refer to Figure 3 and describe the structure of the hand part 300 of the model toy of the present embodiment. Figure 3 (a) of [reference] shows the front view of the hand part 300. Figure 3 (b) of [reference] shows the top view of the hand part 300. Here, the right hand part is taken as an example of the hand part for description, but the left hand part may also be configured in the same manner as the right hand part. In addition, in the case of a structure in which the left hand part holds the holding part of the fitting 101, it is not necessary to be configured in the same manner as the right hand part.

[0037] The hand component 300 is configured to include finger portions 301a to 301e, a back of the hand portion 302, a palm portion 303, and a connecting portion 304. The connecting portion 304 is connected to an arm portion of a model toy (not shown). The finger portions 301a to 301e correspond to the thumb, index finger, middle finger, ring finger, and little finger in sequence. According to the present embodiment, an insertion hole 305 serving as a through hole is formed between the finger portion 301b serving as the index finger and the finger portion 301c serving as the middle finger. One end of a fitting 202 serving as a shaft fitting of the arrow component 200 is inserted into the insertion hole 305. In the present embodiment, a manner of forming the insertion hole between the finger portions is shown, but the present invention is not intended to be limited thereto, and the insertion hole may also be formed between other finger portions or other parts of the hand component.

[0038] In addition, as Figure 3 shown in (b) of, a space region 306 is formed and held between the finger portions 301b to 301e and the palm portion 303. One end of the fitting 202 of the arrow component 200 passes through the insertion hole 305 and enters the space region 306. Subsequently, use Figure 6 to describe the detailed structure.

[0039] <Detailed structure of the bow component>

[0040] Refer to Figure 4 to describe the detailed structure of the bow component of the present embodiment. Figure 4 (a) of shows an exploded perspective view of a part of the bow component 100. Figure 4 (b) of shows Figure 4 the state in which the fittings shown in (a) are connected. Here, the connection structure between the fitting 101 and the fitting 102 will be described. The connection structure between the fitting 101 and the fitting 103 is the same as the connection structure between the fitting 101 and the fitting 102, and thus the description thereof will be omitted.

[0041] The fitting 101 is configured to include a grip portion 401, a first connection portion 402, a second connection portion 403, and a restricting portion 404. The fitting 102 is configured to include a main body portion 411, connection portions 412, 414, and a restricting portion 413.

[0042] The first connection portion 402 and the connection portion 412 are connected in a rotatable manner. As an example, as shown in the figure, the first connection portion 402 is formed in a ring shape. In addition, the connection portion 412 is formed in a cylindrical shape so as to be rotatably inserted into the ring-shaped connection portion. Restricting portions 404, 413 are respectively formed near the outer peripheries of the connection portions 402, 412. For these restricting portions 404, 413, a part thereof abuts or separates when the fittings 101, 102 are assembled, and the range of rotation can be restricted.

[0043] On the other hand, as Figure 4As shown in (b), a gap 420 is formed when the fittings 101 and 102 are assembled. In this state, the restricting portion 404 and the restricting portion 413 are separated on the inner side and abutted on the outer side. By means of this gap 420, the fitting 102 can rotate in a specified direction, i.e., the direction of the arrow in the figure (the inner side of the bow member 100), with each connecting portion 402 and 412 as the center. In addition, since the restricting portion 404 and the restricting portion 413 are abutted on the outer side, the rotation of the fitting 102 in the direction opposite to the arrow in the figure is restricted.

[0044] When the fitting 102 rotates and enters the gap 420, a part of the fitting 102 fills the gap 420, and the fitting 102 cannot rotate further. In this state, the restricting portion 404 and the restricting portion 413 are abutted on the inner side, and a gap is generated on the outer side, and it can rotate in the direction opposite to the arrow in the figure. That is, this state is the use state of the bow member 100, and the fittings 102 and 103 can rotate in a manner of returning to the unused state, i.e., the normal state.

[0045] The fitting 103 connected to the second connecting portion 403 is also configured in the same manner as the fitting 102, and can rotate relative to the fitting 101 in the same manner as the fitting 102 from Figure 4 the state shown in (b). That is, according to the present embodiment, the fitting 102 forming the upper part of the bow member 100 and the fitting 103 forming the lower part of the bow member 100 can rotate relative to the fitting 101 from Figure 4 the state shown in (b) toward the inner side of the bow member 100. On the other hand, due to the restricting portions 404 and 413, the fittings 102 and 103 cannot rotate relative to the fitting 101 from Figure 4 the state shown in (b) toward the outer side of the bow member 100. Thus, according to the present embodiment, while expressing the bending of the bow, it is realized that the bow member does not bend unnaturally (does not rotate toward the outer side direction from Figure 4 the state of (b), and does not rotate toward the inner side direction more than necessary).

[0046] <Rotation action of the bow member>

[0047] Refer to Figure 5 to describe the rotation action of the bow member 100 of the present embodiment. Figure 5 (a) of shows the front appearance of the bow member 100 before rotation, Figure 5 (b) of shows the front appearance of the bow member 100 after rotation. Figure 5 (a) of is the same as Figure 1 (a) of, so the description is omitted.

[0048] As Figure 5 shown in (b), when from Figure 5When pulling the fitting 106 in the direction of the arrow from the state of (a), the ends of the fittings 102 and 103 are pulled toward the inside of the bow member 100, and the fittings 102 and 103 rotate in a specified direction (inside direction) with respect to the fitting 101. Thus, according to the present embodiment, by pulling the string, the bending of the bow member 100 can be expressed. Thereby, the action of shooting an arrow can be expressed more naturally.

[0049] In addition, as Figure 5 shown by the dashed-line area 501 in (b), in the state where the bow member 100 is bent, a part of the fitting 101 abuts against a part of the fitting 102 on the inside, and a part of the fitting 101 abuts against a part of the fitting 103 on the inside. Thereby, the fittings 102 and 103 can be restricted from further rotating inward from the state shown in Figure 5 (b), and unnatural inward rotation can be prevented. On the other hand, in the state where the bow member 100 is bent as shown in Figure 5 (b) (the use state of the bow member), as indicated by reference numeral 502, a gap is formed on the outside differently from the gap 420. By using the gap 502 formed on the outside, the fittings 102 and 103 can rotate in the direction opposite to the arrow in the figure (outside direction) with respect to the fitting 101, and return to Figure 5 the state shown in (a) (the non-use state of the bow member).

[0050] <Arrow holding structure>

[0051] With reference to Figure 6 , the holding structure of the arrow member 200 of the present embodiment based on the hand member 300 will be described. Figure 6 FIG. shows a top view when the arrow member 200 is attached to the hand member 300.

[0052] As described above, the fitting 203, which is an arrow feather fitting of the arrow member 200, can slide on the fitting 202, which is an arrow shaft fitting, in the direction of the fitting 201, which is an arrowhead fitting. Figure 6 FIG. shows a state where the fitting 203 slides in the direction of the fitting 201 and the fitting 202 protrudes from the rear side of the fitting 203. Moreover, in the state shown in Figure 6 , the protruding part of the fitting 202 penetrates the insertion hole 305 of the hand member 300 and enters the space region 306. Thus, the space region 306 becomes a region surrounded by a part of the fitting 202 that has penetrated the insertion hole 305 and the finger portions 301b to 301e of the hand member 300. The fitting 106 forming the string of the bow member 100 can be hooked and held in the surrounded space region 306.

[0053] <Use state of the bow weapon>

[0054] With reference to Figure 7Describe the usage states of the bow component 100, arrow component 200, and hand component 300 in the model toy of this embodiment. Figure 7 It represents the front view when the bow component 100 and arrow component 200 are connected to the hand component 300 and operate.

[0055] In the model toy of this embodiment, as Figure 7 shown, by using the hand component 300 that holds the arrow component 200 to hook and pull the accessory 106, it is possible to perform an action like shooting an arrow in a model toy equipped with a bow weapon. In addition, the left hand component of the model toy (not shown) is installed in a manner to hold the accessory 101. In the case of an actual arrow, the fletching part does not slide, but if this part is reproduced, the connection structure with the hand component 300 becomes complicated and it is difficult to easily achieve. On the other hand, according to this embodiment, it is possible to easily achieve the following structure: making the fletching part of the arrow slide and the arrow shaft protrude backward, connecting this part to the hand component, and hooking the string of the bow component. Additionally, by pulling the accessory 106 serving as the string, the accessories 102 and 103 of the bow component 100 rotate in the arrowhead direction relative to the accessory 101, and the bending of the bow can be represented. Thus, it is possible to reproduce a more immersive usage state of the weapon component.

[0056] As described above, the model toy of this embodiment includes: a first accessory having a first connection portion at one end and a second connection portion at the other end; a second accessory rotatably connected to the first connection portion; a third accessory rotatably connected to the second connection portion; and an elastic member respectively disposed at the ends of the second accessory and the third accessory opposite to the ends connected to the first accessory. When the elastic member is pulled in a specified direction, the second accessory and the third accessory respectively rotate in the specified direction around the first connection portion and the second connection portion. Thus, according to this embodiment, a new structure for appropriately installing model components in a model toy can be provided.

[0057] <Variant Example>

[0058] The present invention is not limited to the above embodiment and can be variously deformed and changed within the scope of the gist of the invention. For example, the shape of the model toy is not particularly limited and includes various shapes such as humans, animals, robots, insects, dinosaurs, etc. In addition, in the above embodiment, as model components, the bow component, etc. as decorative components are taken as examples for explanation, but as long as it is a model component that pulls an elastic member using a hand component or the like, the present invention can be applied. In addition, as model components, weapon components are taken as examples for explanation, but as long as it is a component installed in a model toy, there is no particular limitation.

[0059] In the above-described embodiment, as the model components, a mode including a bow component, an arrow component, and a hand component has been described. However, as the model components of the present invention, it is not necessary to include all of these components, and it can be provided in various modes such as a model component including a bow component and an arrow component, a model component including an arrow component and a hand component, or a model component including each component individually. In addition, it can also be set to a mode including other components.
