[0005] Patent Document 1: Japanese Patent No. 7093904 Summary of the Invention

[0006] Problems to be solved by the invention

[0007] While the grip of the hand appears natural in the aforementioned prior art, using the handpiece to hold decorative items such as weapons requires a strong grip. To increase this grip, the knuckles must be made more rigid, potentially making manipulation difficult. On the other hand, weak gripping can lead to frequent and frustrating falls of decorative items.

[0008] In order to improve the gripping force, a structure in which a fitting portion is provided on a portion of the hand piece to engage with the decorative part is considered. However, in this case, although the decorative part is difficult to separate from the portion of the hand piece, the hand piece itself will fall apart, resulting in the problem of frequent detachment of the decorative part.

[0009] The present invention provides a new structure for appropriately mounting decorative parts in, for example, a model toy.

[0010] Solutions for solving problems

[0011] The present invention is, for example, a model toy, characterized in that the model toy includes: 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 predetermined 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.

[0012] In addition, the present invention is, for example, a model component, characterized in that the model component includes: 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 predetermined surface, and when the third accessory is connected 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.

[0023] The following embodiments are described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. It should be noted that the following embodiments do not limit the invention to which the claims relate. In addition, all combinations of features described in the embodiments are not necessarily required for the invention. Two or more of the multiple features described in the embodiments may also be combined in any manner. In addition, the same reference numerals are used for the same or similar structures, and repeated descriptions are omitted.

[0024] <Appearance of the model toy>

[0025] First, refer to Figure 1 An example of the external appearance structure of the model toy 100 according to the present embodiment will be described. Figure 1 (a) shows the front appearance of the model toy 100. Figure 1 (b) shows the side appearance of the model toy 100. In addition, the arrows x, y, and z respectively indicate the left, upper, and front directions of the model toy, and the same applies to the other drawings.

[0026] The model toy 100 includes a head 101, a chest 102, arms 103a and 103b, legs 104a and 104b, and a waist 105. In this embodiment, a humanoid robot is used as an example of a model toy, but this is not intended to limit the present invention. The present invention can be applied to various models, such as humans, animals, robots, insects, dinosaurs, weapons, and ornaments.

[0027] The head 101 is connected to the chest 102. Connecting members also connect the right arm 103b and left arm 103a to the chest 102 at the sides, and to the waist 105 at the bottom. The waist 105 includes a hip joint and is rotatably connected to the right leg 104b and left leg 104a, respectively. Furthermore, as indicated by the dotted rectangular area, the right arm 103b and left arm 103a have right hand members 106b and left hand members 106a at their respective ends. Hereinafter, the portion including the head 101 and chest 102 will be referred to as the upper torso.

[0028] <Hand Part Structure>

[0029] Reference Figure 2 The structure of the hand member 106 of the model toy 100 according to this embodiment will be described. Figure 2 (a) shows a side view of the right-hand member 106b. Figure 2 (b) means Figure 2 Here, as a hand member, the right hand member 106b is described as an example, and the left hand member 106a has a structure that is bilaterally symmetrical with the right hand member 106b, so the description thereof is omitted.

[0030] like Figure 2As shown in (a), the hand part 106b is constructed to include a palm portion 201, finger portions 202a to 202e, a connecting portion 203, a back of the hand 204, and a protrusion 205. The palm portion 201 constitutes a part of the grip portion for holding the decorative part. In addition, a protrusion 205 that fits into the decorative part is formed on the palm portion 201. The finger portions 202a to 202e are formed in a shape for holding the decorative part. The connecting portion 203 is formed in a spherical shape and is connected to the arm portion 103b in a rotatable manner. The back of the hand 204 is formed by accessories different from the finger portions, and serves to connect the accessory group forming the finger portions and the palm portion. Details of the connection structure will be described later.

[0031] like Figure 2 As shown in (b), the right hand member 106b is constructed with multiple accessories 211 to 213. Accessory 211 corresponds to the first accessory and forms the fingers 202b to 202e and a portion of the palm. Accessory 212 corresponds to the second accessory and forms the fingers 202a and a portion of the palm. When accessories 211 and 212 are connected, a palm including the fingers is formed. Accessory 213 corresponds to the third accessory and forms the back of the hand. It is used to connect and secure accessories 211 and 212.

[0032] <Assembly structure>

[0033] Reference Figure 3 and Figure 4 , describing the assembly structure of the hand component of this embodiment. Figure 3 It shows a state where the component 211 and the component 212 are assembled. Figure 4 It shows a state where the accessory 213 is assembled to the assembled accessories 211 and 212 .

[0034] like Figure 3 As shown in (a), the fitting 211 and the fitting 212 are connected so that the connecting portion 301 of the fitting 211 overlaps the connecting portion 302 of the fitting 212. Specifically, the connecting portion 302 is formed into a concave shape so that the shape of the connecting portion 301 can be inserted, and the connecting portion 301 and the connecting portion 302 are fitted together.

[0035] Figure 3 (b) shows the state where accessory 211 and accessory 212 are connected. When accessory 211 and accessory 212 are connected, a connecting portion 303 is formed at the position (predetermined surface) indicated by the dotted line. This position corresponds to the back of the hand. Connecting portion 303 is formed with a convex portion 311 and concave portions 312 and 313. Furthermore, in this state, if a force is applied in the vertical direction shown in the figure, for example, accessory 211 and accessory 212 are easily separated.

[0036] Figure 4(a) shows the back surface of the fitting 213. On the back surface of the fitting 213, a concave portion 411 and convex portions 412 and 413 are formed. Figure 4 (b) shows the attachment 213 being connected to the connected attachments 211 and 212. The attachment 213 is connected to the connection portion 303 from above the attachments 211 and 212. At this point, the protrusion 311 of the connection portion 303 engages with the recess 411 of the attachment 213, the protrusion 412 of the attachment 213 engages with the recess 312 of the connection portion 303, and the protrusion 413 of the attachment 213 engages with the recess 313 of the connection portion 303, thereby connecting the attachment 213 to the attachments 211 and 212. These engagement mechanisms allow the attachment 213 to connect and secure the attachments 211 and 212. This prevents the attachments 211 to 213 from becoming disjointed.

[0037] <Structure of the grip>

[0038] 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 as viewed from the front of the model toy 100 .

[0039] The dotted area 501 denotes a grip for holding the decorative component. The grip 501 is formed so that the fingers and palm of the hand, formed by the fittings 211 and 212, surround a hollow portion 502. For example, by sandwiching a portion of the decorative component within the hollow portion 502 and connecting the fittings 211 and 212, the decorative component can be prevented from detaching.

[0040] Furthermore, the protrusion 205 is located inside the grip 501 and fits into a recess formed in the gripped decorative component. This improves the gripping force of the decorative component and suppresses shaking.

[0041] <Installation of decorative parts (weapons)>

[0042] Reference Figure 6 , the installation of the decorative component of this embodiment relative to the hand component 106 will be described. Here, as a decorative component, a weapon component is used as an example for description. However, this invention is not limited thereto, and any other decorative component can be installed.

[0043] Figure 6(a) shows a weapon component 600, which serves as a decorative component. Reference numeral 601, enclosed by a dotted line, corresponds to the grip portion of the weapon component 600. A recess 602 is formed in the grip portion 601. The recess 602 is also formed on the back side of the grip portion 601, allowing the protrusions 205 formed on the left and right hand components 106 to fit into the recess. This allows the weapon component 600 to be mounted on either hand component.

[0044] When the weapon part 600 is mounted on the hand part 106b, the accessory 211 is first placed on the grip portion 601 of the weapon part 600. Figure 6 As shown in (b) of FIG. 6 , the fitting 212 is connected to the fitting 211, and the protrusion 205 is fitted into the recess 602. In this state, the fitting 211 and the fitting 212 are in a state of gripping the grip portion 601.

[0045] 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 fits into the recess 602 shown in the figure.

[0046] exist Figure 6 In (c), accessory 213 is connected to accessory 211 and accessory 212 connected to the grip portion 601 of the weapon component 600 from the back side of the figure relative to the connecting portion 303 formed on accessory 211 and accessory 212. As a result, accessories 211 to 213 are connected and fixed in a state where the weapon component 600 is installed.

[0047] As described above, the model toy of this embodiment includes a first accessory, a second accessory connected to the first accessory, and a third accessory connecting the first and second accessories. When the first and second accessories are connected, a connection portion for connecting to the third accessory is formed on a predetermined surface. When the third accessory is connected to the connection portion formed by the first and second accessories, the connection between the first, second, and third accessories is fixed. Furthermore, when the first and second accessories are connected, a grip portion for gripping other components is formed on a surface different from the predetermined surface. Thus, according to this embodiment, a new structure for appropriately attaching decorative parts to a model toy can be provided.

[0048] <Modification>
