[0020] Hereinafter, a toy representing one aspect of the present invention will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0021] Figure 1 This is the front view of the first form of Toy 1. Figure 2 This is a 3D model of the first form of Toy 1.

[0022] Toy 1 is capable of using Figure 1 and Figure 2 The first form 1F, which is integrally formed in a flat plate shape, and the second form 2F, which has a three-dimensional shape after being separated and assembled from the first form 1F (see reference). Figure 6 Toy 1. In Form 1F, as... Figure 1 As shown, the main body 10 is configured to include: a first accessory part 11, which is in the shape of a C; a second accessory part 12, which can support the first accessory part 11 in the second form 2F; and a third accessory part 13, which holds the first accessory part 11 and the second accessory part 12 from the outside in the first form 1F.

[0023] The outer periphery of the main body 10 is generally rectangular, formed by the first end 10a to the fourth end 10d, which are straight ends. Furthermore, the upper first end 10a, the left third end 10c, and the right fourth end 10d in the figure are formed by the third accessory part 13, and the lower second end 10b is formed by the second accessory part 12. In the toy 1 of the first form 1F, the first accessory part 11 and the second accessory part 12 are arranged vertically, and the third accessory part 13 is provided to surround the first accessory part 11 and the second accessory part 12. These accessory parts 11, 12, and 13 are arranged adjacent to each other, separated by the main body slit 10s.

[0024] Thus, in the first form 1F, only the first accessory part 11 that constitutes character C does not constitute the outer periphery of the main body in the first form 1F. Therefore, in the first form 1F, character C is surrounded and protected by the third accessory part 13 and the second accessory part 12.

[0025] In the first form 1F, the first accessory part 11 and the second accessory part 12 of the third accessory part 13 are separated by the main body slit 10s, but are held together by the partial connecting part 20. For example... Figure 1 As shown in the enlarged illustration, the partial connection 20 is a connection part with a small width, for example, it can be formed by the resin flow path during molding. In addition, in the third accessory part 13, the color of the decorative character C is set as needed, and character text information 35 displaying the name and title of character C is also provided.

[0026] The first accessory part 11 is a character C with a head Ch, a torso Cb, and legs Cd. Its outer periphery is concave and convex, but the part of the lower part of the legs Cd that does not constitute the character C is roughly rectangular in shape, which constitutes the mounting part 11b in the second form 2F.

[0027] The second accessory part 12 has a central first support part 12a and left and right second support parts 12b, and text information 30 is formed on the first support part 12a. This text information 30 can be seen from the front in the first form 1F, and furthermore, it can also be seen from the front side in the display state of the second form 2F.

[0028] The main body 10 is composed of its overall shape as follows: Figure 2 As shown, it bends. This bending shape is, for example, a bending shape in which the legs Cd and head Ch extend forward from the torso Cb in the vertical direction of character C (the front side when viewing character C from the front).

[0029] Figure 3 This is a front view showing the separated state of the first accessory part 11 and the second accessory part 12. Figure 4 This is a front view showing the separated state of the third accessory part 13.

[0030] The main body 10 is made of relatively hard, rigid resin (rigid component) through injection molding, die-cutting, etc., and can be like... Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, they are separated. The main body 10 is configured such that none of its parts are bent in the first form 1F. On the other hand, the second accessory part 12 is... Figure 3 The separation shown is followed by bending at the bend line 12m for use in the second form 2F. This bend line 12m is, for example, constructed as a thin wall so that it is easier to bend than other parts.

[0031] like Figure 3 As shown, the mounting part 11b, which does not constitute the character C, is configured such that its lateral width (L1) is longer than the lateral width (L2) of the leg Cd, and is configured such that in the mounted state (refer to...) Figure 6 It can remain stable under these conditions.

[0032] As described above, the second fitting part 12 has a first support part 12a and two second support parts 12b on the left and right, so that it can be bent using the slit 12s and the bending line 12m as described later. In addition, the upper ends 12u of the first support part 12a and the second support part 12b of the second fitting part 12 extend in a straight line in the left and right direction, but only the lower end 12d of the second support part 12b tilts upward as it moves to the left and right ends.

[0033] like Figure 3 As shown, the bend line 12m is configured to be inclined at a specified angle θ relative to the forming direction of the slit 12s, for example, to the direction that opens to the left and right outwards to the lower side.

[0034] In addition, such as Figure 4 As shown, the first accessory part 11 and the second accessory part 12 are configured to be reinstalled on the third accessory part 13 after being separated from it. That is, during separation, the partial connecting part 20 is broken and separated, but since the broken pieces of the partial connecting part 20 remain, they can be installed by using the broken pieces to hook onto each accessory part 11, 12, and 13.

[0035] Figure 5 This is a three-dimensional view of the bent state of the second accessory part 12.

[0036] In the second form 2F, the second support portion 12b is configured to be bend relative to the first support portion 12a. Furthermore, the groove portion 12g is formed by a slit 12s before bending and a bending line 12m. That is, as... Figure 5 As shown, by bending the second accessory part 12 rearward at an angle of approximately 90 degrees (left side in the figure), the slit 12s is formed into a slot 12g with a cut along the width direction of the second accessory part 12.

[0037] Furthermore, a curved portion 12i of the slit 12s is provided between the slit 12s and the bend line 12m. This curved portion 12i, which bends outwards to the left and right, is formed such that when the second support portion 12b is bent at the bend line 12m, the protrusion 12j of the contour of the curved portion 12i remains along the first support portion 12a. By forming this protrusion 12j, the bent portion is less likely to break along the extension line of the slit 12s. Furthermore, even if the bent portion is bent in a slightly inaccurate manner, the lower portion of the curved portion 12i becomes the lower edge 11d of the support mounting portion 11b.

[0038] The width of the groove 12g varies depending on its location. For example, the first part 12ga of the groove 12g at the end of the second fitting part 12 in the width direction (vertical direction in the figure) has a width of a first length (d1). Furthermore, the second part 12gb, which is located inside the first part 12ga in the width direction, has a second length (d2) whose width is longer than the first length (d1).

[0039] Figure 6 This is a 3D view taken from the front of toy 1, form 2F. Figure 7 This is a three-dimensional view taken from the side of toy 1 in its second form, 2F.

[0040] In the second form 2F, as Figure 6 As shown, toy 1 is configured to move horizontally with the first accessory part 11 supported by the second accessory part 12. That is, as... Figure 7 As shown, the second support portion 12b is clamped by the front end edge 12t of the second support portion 12b in the groove portion 12g and the first support portion 12a with appropriate pressure. By holding it in this way, the first fitting portion 11 can slide left and right while being held.

[0041] Furthermore, in the second form 2F, such as Figure 7 As shown, the second accessory part 12 is placed on the mounting part 40, thereby tilting the upper sides of the first support part 12a and the groove part 12g backward using the inclined structure of the lower end 12d. Thus, the first accessory part 11 is mounted in an inclined state. In this state, the first accessory part 11 is in a state where the head Ch of the character C is upright compared to the torso Cb, that is, in a state where it is tilted backward and bent forward while standing upright on its upper side.

[0042] As described above, in the toy 1 of this technical solution, in the first form 1F, the first accessory portion 11 and the second accessory portion 12 are flat, thereby enabling good flowability of the toy 1. In the second form 2F, the toy 1 is three-dimensional, thereby enabling enjoyment such as displaying it as a toy 1. In particular, in the toy 1 of this technical solution, the third accessory portion 13 in the first form 1F holds the first accessory portion 11 and the second accessory portion 12 adjacent to them, thus it can be made into a flat shape, which significantly improves operability.

[0043] In the toy 1 of this technical solution, the main body 10 is configured such that at least a portion is bent in the first form 1F, thus making it easy to grip when placed on a flat surface and providing good operability. Furthermore, it is easy to apply force during the separation operation between the various accessory parts, also providing good operability.

[0044] In the toy 1 of this technical solution, the first accessory part 11 is configured such that the head Ch and legs Cd are bent toward the front surface side relative to the torso Cb of the character C, thereby enabling it to stand upright by means of bending when supported by the second accessory part 12. For example, by configuring the head Ch and legs Cd of the character C to be bent toward the front surface side, the head Ch can be stably positioned facing forward even when the character C is set to be slightly tilted backward when viewed from the front surface side.

[0045] In the toy 1 of this technical solution, the first accessory part 11 has a straight mounting part 11b that does not constitute the character C, so that the character C can be easily displayed, for example, simply by inserting the mounting part 11b into the grooves 12g formed at the left and right ends of the flat first support part 12a.

[0046] Furthermore, in the toy 1 of this technical solution, the mounting part 11b is configured such that its lateral width is longer than the lateral width of the leg Cd of the character C, thereby enabling the mounting position of the first accessory part 11 relative to the second accessory part 12 to move in the horizontal direction, and enabling the display state to change.

[0047] In the toy 1 of this technical solution, the second support portion 12b at both ends of the first support portion 12a, which is configured as the second accessory portion 12, is bent, so that the second accessory portion 12 can stand upright on the mounting portion 40. In addition, the lower end portion 12d of the bent portion of the second support portion 12b at both ends forms an inclined end edge, so that the first support portion 12a can be tilted and stand upright.

[0048] Furthermore, by providing a curved portion 12i of the slit 12s between the slit 12s and the bend line 12m, when the bend line 12m is partially bent, the protrusion 12j of the contour of the curved portion 12i is formed along the first support portion 12a. As a result, the problem of the bent portion breaking along the extension line of the slit 12s can be avoided. Moreover, even if the bent portion is bent in a slightly inaccurate manner, a groove 12g can be formed that reliably supports the lower edge of the mounting portion 11b using the lower part of the curved portion 12i.

[0049] In the toy 1 of this technical solution, in the second form 2F where the second support portion 12b is bent relative to the first support portion 12a, a groove 12g capable of supporting the first accessory portion 11 can be formed using a slit 12s provided near the bending line 12m. Furthermore, by tilting the forming directions of the bending line 12m and the slit 12s, the width of the groove 12g can be varied when the second accessory portion 12 is bent 90 degrees along the bending line 12m.

[0050] Furthermore, the width of the groove 12g is configured such that the width of the first portion 12ga on the end side of the second fitting portion 12 in the width direction is smaller than the width of the second portion 12gb which is closer to the inside of the end side. As a result, the first fitting portion 11 inserted into the groove 12g is more forcefully clamped by the narrower side of the groove 12g and is reliably supported.

[0051] In the toy 1 of this technical solution, since text information 30 is formed on the first support portion 12a, information associated with the character C can be enjoyed in both the first form 1F and the second form 2F. In particular, in the second form 2F, the text information 30 is displayed on the front of the display state, which effectively enables the performance of the display state.

[0052] The technical solution of the present invention has been described above, but the present invention can be appropriately modified within the scope of its technical concept. For example, in the above technical solution, the width of the slit 12s is the same in its length direction (forming direction), but it is not limited to this structure. For example, it can also be a structure in which the width gradually changes in the length direction of the slit.

[0053] Furthermore, in the above technical solution, the bending line 12m is configured to be one (one) arranged along the direction of the slit 12s, but it is not limited to this and can also be a structure of multiple lines.

[0054] Furthermore, in the above technical solution, the width of the groove 12g is configured such that the width of the first part 12ga on the end side is smaller than the width of the second part 12gb on the inner side, but it can also be configured in the opposite way, such that the width of the first part 12ga is larger than the width of the second part 12gb on the inner side.

[0055] Furthermore, in the above technical solution, the third end 10c and the fourth end 10d are configured to be curved on the front surface side, but this is not limited to this structure. For example, it can also be a structure in which the first end 10a and the second end 10b are curved in the left and right direction.
