[0006] Patent Document 1: Japanese Utility Model Publication No. 61-24315 Summary of the Utility Model

[0007] Problems to be Solved by the Utility Model

[0008] In the above light display toy, there is provided a reset device that pushes back the light transmissive body that opens the opening to the initial position to close the opening.

[0009] This reset device is a device in which protrusions are implanted on the outer surface of a roller. Moreover, according to this reset device, in a state where a display body including the light transmissive body and the light shielding plate is pressed against the roller, the display body is slid above the roller to sequentially press the protrusions on the outer surface of the roller against the light transmissive body of the display body, thereby pushing back the light transmissive body to the initial position.

[0010] Therefore, it is necessary to provide a structure in which fingers or the like are not caught in the gap between the display body and the roller. In addition, it is necessary to provide a structure that is safe even when contacting the back surface of the display body that is exposed by sliding it. Further, since the roller with protrusions is a structure in which many components are combined, the assembly is time-consuming and costly.

[0011] In addition, since the display body is removed and slid above the roller, the initialization is troublesome.

[0012] In view of the above circumstances, the present utility model has been completed, and an object thereof is to provide a light display toy that can be initialized at low cost and simply.

[0013] Means for Solving the Problems

[0014] The first solution is a light display toy, characterized in that,

[0015] The light display toy includes:

[0016] A light source;

[0017] A front panel, which is provided with holes arranged at a predetermined interval on one surface in a two-dimensionally extended hole formation area;

[0018] A light shielding plate, which is provided on the back side of the front panel, and an openable and closable cut is formed corresponding to the hole. In the state where the cut is closed, it prevents the light from the light source located on the back side from leaking to the front side, and in the state where the cut is open, it allows the light from the light source to leak to the front side;

[0019] A light-transmitting body, a part of which can be pressed into the cut from the front side, opens the cut through the pressing, and is irradiated with the light leaking to the front side from the cut; and

[0020] A reset plate, which is configured to be separable from or in contact with the light shielding plate on the back side of the light shielding plate, and a protrusion is formed corresponding to the cut on the front surface. By approaching the light shielding plate, the light-transmitting body pressed into the cut is pushed back by the protrusion to become a state where the cut is closed.

[0021] Based on the first solution, the second solution is characterized in that the reset plate is a transparent plate made of plastic, with the protrusion formed on the front surface and a light diffusion part provided on the back surface to diffuse the light from the light source and let the light enter the interior.

[0022] Based on the second solution, the third solution is characterized in that the light diffusion part is composed of a texture.

[0023] Based on the third solution, the fourth solution is characterized in that the protrusion is a cylindrical protrusion, and the front end is configured to be hemispherical.

[0024] Based on the second solution, the fifth solution is characterized in that the reset plate is configured to be separable from or in contact with the light shielding plate while maintaining a parallel state with the light shielding plate.

[0025] Based on any one of the first to fifth solutions, the sixth solution is characterized in that a front panel with a hole formed corresponding to the cut is provided on the front side of the light shielding plate, and between the front panel and the light shielding plate, a spherical bead that serves as the light-transmitting body and has a diameter larger than the hole of the front panel is arranged corresponding to the cut.

[0026] The seventh solution is based on the sixth solution, and is characterized in that a holding plate is provided between the light shielding plate and the reset plate. The holding plate is formed with holes corresponding to the cutouts, the holes being smaller than the diameter of the beads and allowing the protrusions to be inserted and removed. The beads are prevented from detaching through the holes in the holding plate.

[0027] The eighth solution is based on any one of the first to fifth solutions, and is characterized in that a display plate is provided on the front side of the light shielding plate. The display plate is formed with holes corresponding to the cutouts, and the light transmitting body is constituted by cylindrical pins that can be inserted into and removed from the holes in the display plate.

[0028] Utility Model Effects

[0029] According to the first solution, by merely bringing the reset plate close to and separating it from the light shielding plate, the light transmitting body is pushed back and the cutouts are closed, thereby eliminating the displayed content. Therefore, the operating mechanism of the reset plate can be simplified, and a light display toy that can be initialized at low cost and simply can be realized.

[0030] According to the second and third solutions, since the reset plate is a transparent plate and a light diffusion portion (such as a texture) is provided on the back surface, light from the light source diffuses through the light diffusion portion and enters the reset plate. Therefore, the reset plate can emit light uniformly, and uniform light display can be performed.

[0031] According to the fourth solution, since the protrusions are cylindrical and the front ends are hemispherical, the light from the reset plate is condensed, so that efficient light display can be performed.

[0032] According to the fifth solution, since the reset plate is configured to be separable or contactable with respect to the light shielding plate while maintaining a parallel state, the characters, symbols, or patterns of the light display can be eliminated simultaneously.

[0033] According to the sixth solution, since spherical beads serving as light transmitting bodies are pre-arranged between the front panel and the light shielding plate, the operation of the light display toy becomes simple.

[0034] According to the seventh solution, the beads pressed into the cutouts of the light shielding plate can be prevented from falling off by the holding plate.

[0035] According to the eighth solution, light display can be performed by inserting cylindrical pins serving as light transmitting bodies into the holes in the display plate. Description of the Drawings

[0066] Hereinafter, the implementation mode of the present utility model will be described.

[0067] "Overall view of the light - display toy 100"

[0068] Figure 1 It is a perspective view showing the light - display toy 100 according to the implementation mode.

[0069] The light - display toy 100 is composed of a toy main body 10, a special pen 30, and special seals 50A - 50D.

[0070] According to this light - display toy 100, when the power switch (not shown) is turned on and the special pen 30 is moved on the front surface of the toy main body 10 while pressing the pen tip against the front surface of the toy main body 10, characters, symbols, or patterns corresponding to the movement of the special pen 30 are dot - displayed in light on the front surface of the toy main body 10. In addition, when the special seal 50 (a general term for special seals 50A - 50D) is pressed against the front surface of the toy main body 10, patterns corresponding to the shape of the special seal 50 are dot - displayed in light at the pressed part.

[0071] Then, after the light display, if the left - and - right handles 15c are moved up and down once, the characters, symbols, or patterns displayed in light are erased.

[0072] "Toy main body 10"

[0073] (Overall)

[0074] Figure 2 It is an exploded perspective view of the main body of the light - display toy 100.

[0075] The toy main body 10 is configured in a thick - plate shape and is a horizontally long rectangle when viewed from above. The toy main body 10 includes a front panel 11, beads 12, a light - shielding plate 13, a holding plate 14, a reset plate 15, a light source 16, and a lower housing 17.

[0076] (Front panel 11)

[0077] Figure 3 It is a top view of the front panel 11, Figure 4 It is a perspective view of the lower - surface side of the front panel 11.

[0078] The front panel 11 is a component that constitutes the light display surface and is made of metal or plastic. The front panel 11 constitutes the upper housing.

[0079] In the front panel 11, circular holes 11a are regularly formed at predetermined intervals vertically, horizontally, and obliquely. The holes 11a are formed to penetrate the front panel 11 vertically. The diameter of the holes 11a is smaller than the diameter of the beads 12 on the upper surface of the front panel 11 so that the beads 12 will not fall off. On the other hand, the diameter of the holes 11a is slightly larger than the diameter of the beads 12 on the lower surface of the front panel 11, and the holes 11a are holes with a narrowed upper part. Moreover, the beads 12 are accommodated in the large-diameter hole portions 110a on the lower surface side of the front panel 11. In addition, in a state where the beads 12 are accommodated in the large-diameter hole portions 110a of the front panel 11, it is preferably configured that the tops of the beads 12 are almost flush with the upper surface of the front panel 11. Additionally, the large-diameter hole portions 110a may be constituted by cylindrical portions formed on the lower surface of the front panel 11.

[0080] The front panel 11 is black and has light-shielding properties to make the light display prominent.

[0081] In addition, outside the hole formation area in the front panel 11, screw insertion holes 11b are formed for screwing and fastening a light-shielding plate 13 and a holding plate 14 described later.

[0082] On the other hand, on the lower surface of the front panel 11, a boss 11c with an internal thread for fixing the front panel 11 to the lower housing 17 and a boss 11d with an internal thread for mounting a reset plate 15 so that it can move up and down are formed.

[0083] (Beads 12)

[0084] The beads 12 are transparent spheres made of glass or plastic. One bead 12 is provided corresponding to each hole 11a. The beads 12 are irradiated with light leaking from the cutouts 13a of the light-shielding plate 13 described later to achieve light display.

[0085] (Light-shielding plate 13)

[0086] Figure 5 It is a top view of the light-shielding plate 13.

[0087] The light-shielding plate 13 is made of rubber or plastic and has flexibility. The light-shielding plate 13 is provided below the front panel 11. Moreover, the beads 12 are arranged above the light-shielding plate 13.

[0088] In the light-shielding plate 13, a cross-shaped cutout 13a is provided corresponding to each hole 11a of the front panel 11. The cutout 13a is formed to penetrate the light-shielding plate 13 vertically.

[0089] The cutout 13a is closed under normal conditions, maintaining the state of lifting the bead 12 and preventing light from the light source from leaking to the upper surface side. Additionally, the cutout 13a opens when the bead 12 is pressed, allowing light from the light source to leak to the upper surface side. Moreover, if the bead 12 is pushed back upward after the cutout 13a is opened by the bead 12, the cutout 13a returns to its original closed state due to the elastic force. Furthermore, the shape of the cutout is not limited to a cross shape as long as it is an openable and closable shape.

[0090] In addition, outside the cutout forming region in the light shielding plate 13, there are formed screw insertion through holes 13b for fixing the light shielding plate 13 to the front panel 11.

[0091] (Holding plate 14)

[0092] Figure 6 is a top view of the holding plate 14, Figure 7 is a perspective view of the lower surface side of the holding plate 14.

[0093] The holding plate 14 is not particularly limited and is made of plastic. This holding plate 14 is disposed below the light shielding plate 13.

[0094] The holding plate 14 can be a light-shielding member or a light-transmitting member.

[0095] In the holding plate 14, one circular hole 14a is formed corresponding to each cutout 13a of the light shielding plate 13. The diameter of the hole 14a is slightly larger than the diameter of the bead 12 on the upper surface of the light shielding plate 13, and this large-diameter hole portion 140a (refer to Figure 8 ) can receive the lower half of the bead 12 when the bead 12 is pressed. Moreover, when the lower half of the bead 12 is received, the cutout piece 130b is clamped between the bead 12 and the peripheral wall of the large-diameter hole portion 140a. Thereby, the pressed state of the bead 12 is maintained. On the other hand, the diameter of the hole 14a is smaller than the diameter of the bead 12 on the lower surface of the light shielding plate 13 so that the bead 12 does not fall off. In other words, the hole 14a is a hole having a counterbore shape formed on the upper surface side. Additionally, the large-diameter hole portion 140a can also be constituted by a cylindrical portion formed on the upper surface of the holding plate 14.

[0096] Outside the hole forming region in the holding plate 14, there are formed screw insertion through holes 14b for fixing the holding plate 14 to the front panel 11. Moreover, the holding plate 14 arranges the bead 12 by inverting the front panel 11, places the light shielding plate 13 and the holding plate 14 in sequence above it, and installs it on the front panel 11 by screwing a screw that penetrates the screw insertion through hole 11b of the front panel 11 and the screw insertion through hole 13b of the light shielding plate 13 with the screw insertion through hole 14b. Thus, the front panel 11, the bead 12, the light shielding plate 13, and the holding plate 14 are integrated to form a display body.

[0097] On the other hand, on the lower surface of the holding plate 14, at both long side portions, bosses 14c with internal threads for mounting the reset plate 15 so as to be movable up and down are formed.

[0098] (Reset plate 15)

[0099] Figure 9 is a perspective view of the reset plate 15.

[0100] The reset plate 15 is not particularly limited and is made of plastic and transparent. The reset plate 15 is provided below the holding plate 14 at a predetermined distance from the holding plate 14.

[0101] On the upper surface of the reset plate 15, cylindrical insertion through-holes 15a are respectively formed corresponding to the holes 14a of the holding plate 14. The diameter of the insertion through-hole 15a is smaller than the diameter of the hole 14a, and the insertion through-hole 15a can be inserted and removed relative to the hole 14a by the up and down movement of the reset plate 15. In addition, the upper end of the insertion through-hole 15a becomes a round head, and this round head portion functions as a convex lens. That is, the round head portion functions as a condenser lens.

[0102] In addition, a light diffusion portion 15b is applied to the lower surface of the reset plate 15. The light diffusion portion 15b is composed of, for example, a texture formed by texture processing. That is, the surface of the mold is physically surface-treated by etching or sandblasting, etc., and the surface is transferred to the plastic, so that a texture is formed on the lower surface of the reset plate 15. Due to the presence of the light diffusion portion 15b, light enters the reset plate 15 from various directions, and the entire reset plate 15 can emit light efficiently and uniformly.

[0103] The reset plate 15 is mounted so as to be movable up and down relative to the front panel 11 and the holding plate 14. The lowest position of the reset plate 15 in this case is a position that does not interfere with the pressing of the bead 12 ([[]] Figure 10 in (A)), and the uppermost position of the reset plate 15 is a position where the bead 12 is returned to the initial position through the insertion through-hole 15a ([[]] Figure 10 in (B)).

[0104] The reset plate 15 is operated by the player. That is, handles 15c are respectively formed at each end of the reset plate 15 in the length direction, and the handles 15c are located in the concave portions 17a on the side surfaces of the lower housing 17 (refer to [[[]] Figure 11 ). The handles 15c can be held to move the reset plate 15 up and down. In addition, the downward movement of the reset plate 15 can also be based on the self-weight of the reset plate 15.

[0105] At the four corners of the reset plate 15, there are formed boss insertion through-holes 15d corresponding to the internally threaded bosses 11d of the front panel 11. In addition, at the two long sides of the reset plate 15, there are formed boss insertion through-holes 15e corresponding to the internally threaded bosses 14c of the holding plate 14. Moreover, the internally threaded boss 11c of the front panel 11 is inserted into the boss insertion through-hole 15d, and the internally threaded boss 14c of the holding plate 14 is inserted into the boss insertion through-hole 15e. In this state, the screws are screwed to the internally threaded bosses 11c and 11e via washers. Thus, the reset plate 15 can move up and down relative to the display panel.

[0106] (Light source 16)

[0107] As the light source 16, there is no particular limitation, and a multicolor LED is used. The multicolor LED is used to change the color of the light display. The change in color is performed by pressing a changeover switch SW (refer to Figure 11 ).

[0108] In addition, the four light sources 16 are arranged separately at positions corresponding to the two diagonals of the hole forming portion area of the front panel 11 and at positions facing each other while sandwiching the center of the hole forming portion area.

[0109] (Lower housing 17)

[0110] Figure 11 is a perspective view of the lower housing 17.

[0111] At each end in the length direction of the lower housing 17, there is formed a recess 17a. In addition, in the lower housing 17, there is formed a screw insertion through-hole 17b corresponding to the internally threaded boss 11d of the front panel 11. Moreover, by screwing a screw that penetrates the screw insertion through-hole 17b from below the lower housing 17 to the internally threaded boss 11d, the display panel is fixed to the lower housing 17.

[0112] In addition, in the lower housing 17, there are provided a battery serving as a power switch and a power source (not shown), a changeover switch SW, a light source 16, and a light emission control unit 90 (refer to Figure 11 ).

[0113] (Circuit configuration)

[0114] Figure 12 is a block diagram showing the control configuration of the light display toy 100.

[0115] As shown in the figure, the light display toy 100 of the embodiment includes a light emission control unit 90 that controls the light emission of the light source 16. The light emission control unit 90 changes the light emission color and the like of the LEDs that are the four light sources 16 according to a signal from the changeover switch SW.

[0116] "Special Pen 30"

[0117] Figure 1 The tip of the special pen 30 shown is sized to fit into the hole 11a of the front panel 11. Additionally, a rotary tracer 31 is provided at the rear of the special pen 30. The tracer 31 has a rotary plate 31a. Around this rotary plate 31a, protrusions 31b are provided at the same interval as the holes 11a of the display panel 11. The protrusion 31b is sized to fit into the hole 11a of the display panel 11. Thus, if one of the protrusions 31b of the rotary plate 31a is inserted into the hole 11a of the display panel 11 and the rotary plate 31a is rotated in a predetermined direction on the display panel 11, the corresponding bead 12 can be pressed down.

[0118] "Special Stamp 50"

[0119] Figure 13 in (A) to Figure 13 in (D) are bottom views of four special stamps 50A to 50D. Hereinafter, Figure 1 and Figure 13 will be used to explain the special stamps 50A to 50D.

[0120] In Figure 13 shown in (A) of, a grasping portion 51A is provided at the upper part of the special stamp 50A. A diamond-shaped flat plate 52A is fixed to the lower part of the grasping portion 51A. Along each side of the lower surface of the flat plate 52A, three protrusions 53A are provided respectively, and one protrusion 53A is provided at the center. The diameter of the protrusion 53A is smaller than the diameter of the hole 11a of the front panel 11, and the interval between adjacent protrusions 53A, 53A is the same as the interval between adjacent holes 11a, 11a of the front panel 11. If this special stamp 50A is used, all the beads 12 corresponding to the protrusions 53A can be pressed down at once, and by simply pressing the special stamp 50A to the front panel 11 once with a predetermined orientation, a diamond-shaped pattern can be formed all at once.

[0121] In Figure 13 shown in (B) of, a grasping portion 51B is provided at the upper part of the special stamp 50B. A hexagonal flat plate 52B is fixed to the lower part of the grasping portion 51B. Along each side of the lower surface of the flat plate 52B, three protrusions 53B are provided respectively. The diameter of the protrusion 53B is smaller than the diameter of the hole 11a of the front panel 11, and the interval between adjacent protrusions 53B, 53B is the same as the interval between adjacent holes 11a, 11a of the front panel 11. If this special stamp 50B is used, all the beads 12 corresponding to the protrusions 53B can be pressed down at once, and by simply pressing the special stamp 50B to the front panel 11 once with a predetermined orientation, a hexagonal pattern can be formed all at once.

[0122] In Figure 13A grasping portion 51C is provided at the upper part of the special stamp 50C shown in (C) therein. A triangular flat plate 52C is fixed to the lower part of the grasping portion 51C. Four protrusions 53C are provided along each side on the lower surface of the flat plate 52C, and one protrusion 53C is provided at the center. The diameter of the protrusion 53C is smaller than the diameter of the hole 11a of the front panel 11, and the interval between adjacent protrusions 53C, 53C is the same as the interval between adjacent holes 11a, 11a of the front panel 11. If this special stamp 50C is used, all the beads 12 corresponding to the protrusions 53C can be pressed down at one time, and by pressing the special stamp 50C to the front panel 11 only once with a predetermined orientation, a triangular pattern can be formed all at once.

[0123] In Figure 13 A grasping portion 51D is provided at the upper part of the special stamp 50D shown in (D) therein. A star-shaped flat plate 52D is fixed to the lower part of the grasping portion 51D. Three protrusions 53D are provided along each side on the lower surface of the flat plate 52D, and one protrusion 53D is provided at the center. The diameter of the protrusion 53D is smaller than the diameter of the hole 11a of the front panel 11, and the interval between adjacent protrusions 53D, 53D is the same as the interval between adjacent holes 11a, 11a of the front panel 11. If this special stamp 50D is used, all the beads 12 corresponding to the protrusions 53D can be pressed down at one time, and by pressing the special stamp 50D to the front panel 11 only once with a predetermined orientation, a star-shaped pattern can be formed all at once.

[0124] 《Modification Example》

[0125] In the above-described embodiment, the spherical beads 12 are used as the light-transmitting bodies, but columnar light-transmitting bodies may be provided instead of the spherical beads 12. In this case, the light-transmitting bodies are pre-installed in the toy body 10 in such a way that the central axes extend in the vertical direction. Then, they are operated by the special pen 30 or the special stamp 50. It is also possible to make the upper ends of the light-transmitting bodies protrude from the front panel 11 in advance and directly operate them by hand.

[0126] In addition, in the case of using columnar light-transmitting bodies, they may also be able to be inserted and removed from the holes 11a of the front panel 11.

[0127] Furthermore, in the case of using columnar light-transmitting bodies, a flange portion is provided in advance on the outer periphery of the columnar light-transmitting bodies. If the flange portion abuts against the surface of the front panel 11 to limit the insertion depth, the above-mentioned holding plate 14 may not be provided.

[0128] In addition, in the above-described embodiment, multi-color LEDs are used as the light source 16, but monochromatic LEDs may also be used. Further, an incandescent lamp may be used instead of the LED.

[0129] Further, in the above-described embodiment, a light diffusion layer is provided on the lower surface of the reset plate 15. However, a reflector may be provided to irradiate the entire surface of the reset plate 15 with light from the light source instead of providing the light diffusion layer.

[0130] In addition, in the above-described embodiment, the reset plate 15 is provided in the toy body 10 from the beginning. However, it may be configured to insert and use the reset plate 15 only when in use. In this case, the reset plate 15 may also be opaque. Further, the light diffusion layer on the lower surface of the reset plate 15 is not required.

[0131] In addition, in the above-described embodiment, the reset plate 15 is configured to be separable or contactable in a state parallel to the holding light-shielding plate 13. However, the reset plate 15 may be configured to be rotatable and separable or contactable with the light-shielding plate 13 by a rotation operation.

[0132] Further, in the above-described embodiment, the holding plate 14 is provided. However, if the ball 12 comes into contact with the protrusion 15a of the reset plate 15 and stops when the ball 12 is pressed in, the holding plate 14 may not be provided.

[0133] In addition, in the above-described embodiment, the front panel 11 is provided in a horizontal manner. However, it may also be provided in an inclined or vertical manner.
