Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present disclosure belongs to the field of toys. Background Art

[0002] Children love to play with toy figurines and also love to read books, but it is troublesome to do both activities at the same time because children have to carry both toy figurines and publications with limited space, which leads to the dilemma of choosing one or the other without losing or giving up both. Utility Model Content

[0003] The present disclosure is directed to a solution to provide a collectible toy figurine that can hold a small publication inside, so that children can carry the toy figurine and the publication at the same time, so that the user can read a storybook featuring the toy figurine and play with the toy figurine. The small publication is fixed inside the collectible toy figurine. The user can expose the publication by manipulation, such as separating the top and bottom portions of the toy figurine, and inserting and removing the small publication from the figurine.

[0004] The containers of collectible toy figurines can come in different sizes, whether handheld or larger.

[0005] Collectible toy figurines can be made of different materials, including but not limited to: plastic, PVC, cardboard, metal, wood, etc. Publications housed in toy figurines can be made of different materials, including but not limited to: paper, cardboard, plastic, PVC, metal, etc.

[0006] Therefore, one aspect of the present disclosure provides a toy figurine. The toy figurine includes a body that defines: (1) an outer contour of the figurine; and (2) an inner volume portion that defines a publication receiving space for receiving publications. The outer contour portion has a shape of any desired features, including a head, limbs, etc.

The processing circuit is configured to output the custom audio file in a controllable manner as needed. The trigger for outputting the custom audio file can be performed by a switch formed on the statue, or by a voice command received by the microphone and analyzed by the processing circuit.

[0018] In some embodiments, the statue includes an identification tool configured to identify a publication housed in the publication housing space and transmit identification data indicative of the identified publication to the processing circuit. The processing circuit is configured to trigger output of an audio file selected from a list of stored audio files corresponding to the identified publication.

[0019] In some embodiments, the statue includes a light source configured to emit light.

[0020] In some embodiments of the statue, the light source is operable to emit light on demand, such as by triggering a command received from the processing circuit.The emission profile may be associated with an audio file output by the speaker.

[0021] In some embodiments, the statue further includes a power source for providing power to the light source and the speaker.

[0022] In some embodiments of the statue, the body includes one or two arms that are capable of rotating about at least one axis.

[0029] The following figures are provided to illustrate embodiments and implementations of the present disclosure.

[0030] First reference Figures 1A to 1E , Figures 1A to 1E 1 is a schematic diagram of different views and states of a non-limiting example of a toy figurine according to an aspect of the present disclosure. Figurine 100 includes a body 102 formed by a first portion 104 and a second portion 106 that can be coupled to each other. When first portion 104 and second portion 106 are coupled, their outer surfaces 105A and 105B form the complete shape of the body of the toy figure, including arms, head, legs, and sometimes a tail. Body 102 defines an interior volume 107 that defines a publication receiving space 109 formed by first portion 104 and second portion 106 together. The first portion 104 at the bottom includes an inner recess 108 designed to receive an end portion of a publication 110, and the second portion 106 at the top is configured to receive the remaining portion of the publication, so that when the second portion 106 is coupled to the first portion 104 along the coupling line 113, the inner shape of the second portion 106 is adapted to fit over the publication 110, so that the publication 110 is hidden in a publication receiving space 109 formed by the first portion 104 and the second portion 106 in the inner volume 107 of the body 102. Therefore, when the first portion 104 and the second portion 106 are disconnected, the publication receiving space 109 is accessible to a user of the statue, and the publication can be placed in the publication receiving space 109 or taken out therefrom for reading.

[0031] Throughout the drawings of the application, similar elements of different drawings are given similar reference numerals shifted by hundreds of digits corresponding to the numbers of the corresponding drawings. For example, FIG. 2A to FIG. 2B The element 202 has the same Figures 1A to 1D The same function as element 102 in FIG.

[0032] FIG. 2A to FIG. 2C is a schematic diagram showing the following embodiment: in this embodiment, the second part 206 of the body located at the upper part includes relative pairs of intercepting members 211, and the relative pairs of intercepting members 211 are formed on the inner surface 212 of the second part 206 located at the upper part, and the relative pairs of intercepting members 211 are configured to receive the publication 210 when the publication 210 needs to be stored in the publication accommodating space 209 within the internal volume portion 207.

[0033] Figure 3 3 is a schematic diagram of a non-limiting example of an embodiment of a statue of the present disclosure. In this embodiment, the body 302 of the statue 300 is a single structure that includes: an interior volume 307 defining a publication receiving space 309; and a closure 314 in the form of a door that is configured to allow transition between a closed state, in which the publication receiving space 309 is not accessible to a user, and an open state, in which the publication receiving space 309 is accessible to a user.

[0034] Figure 3 The statue shown further illustrates optional elements to be included. These elements include a light source 317, such as an LED, which can be located in the inner wall 316 that partially defines the inner volume 307. The LED can also be located in the outer surface of the body 302. Another optional element is a charging rod 320 formed at the bottom of the body 302, which can be placed on a charger and charge the statue's battery (not shown), which supplies power to the LED or speaker integrated into the statue.

[0035] FIG. 4A to FIG. 4B 4 is a schematic diagram of different views of a toy figurine, illustrating that a speaker 418 is integrated into the body 402 of the figurine 400. The speaker 418 can be formed on different areas of the body, such as at the top portion of the body or at the rear portion of the body or in one of the walls defining the interior volume of the body. The speaker can be used to play an audio file including a publication stored in the publication receiving space for reading.

[0036] Furthermore, as in all other embodiments, the statue 400 comprises two arms 420 extending from the sides of the body 402. The wall is rotatable at least about the axis X and is capable of gripping or holding objects, for example accessories destined for the statue.

[0037] It is worth noting that in any embodiment of the statue, the LEDs and speakers can be integrated into the body of the statue, and each of them can be independently located anywhere in the body, either on the outer surface of the body or on the inner surface of the body.
