[0017] Embodiments of the present disclosure will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings. Figure 1 The illustrated playhouse 1 has an open front (front surface) side and is formed to imitate a two-story house. The playhouse 1 has a playhouse body 10 imitating a house, a plate-shaped base member 100, and an accessory toy 200, which is a combined climbing toy and toy slide for the playhouse. Note that in the following description, when the playhouse 1 is viewed from the front, the left side is referred to as left, the right side is referred to as right, the upper side is referred to as upper, the lower side is referred to as lower, the front side is referred to as front, and the opposite side is referred to as rear.

[0018] The dollhouse body 10 includes plate-shaped wall portions 11 disposed opposite to each other left and right, and a plate-shaped connecting wall portion 12 provided to connect the rear sides of the two wall portions 11. The dollhouse body 10 includes a floor member 13 that constitutes the second floor portion. In addition, a part of the roof is formed at the rear side of the second floor portion. The dollhouse body 10 includes an accessory toy 200 attached to the dollhouse 1. The accessory toy 200 straddles the floor member 13 and the base member 100 that constitutes the first floor portion, and is formed to imitate a ladder for going up and down between the first floor and the second floor. The accessory toy 200, which will be described in detail below, can be played as a climbing toy like the Figure 1 ladder shown, or can be bent and played as a toy slide (see Figure 6 ).

[0019] As Figure 2 shown, the accessory toy 200, which is a combined climbing toy and toy slide for the dollhouse, includes a first member 210 and a second member 220 connected to the first member 210 through a hinge portion 250. The first member 210 and the second member 220 can be bent through the hinge portion 250. The first member 210 and the second member 220 can be transformed into a toy ladder by elongation and can be transformed into a toy slide by bending. The second member 220 is provided to be longer than the first member 210. The first member 210 and the second member 220 include: main board members 211 and 221 having a substantially long rectangular plate shape; and two side plates 212 and 222 disposed opposite to each other at two end portions in the width direction of the main board members 211 and 221, respectively. The two side plates 212 are symmetrically formed in the left-right direction, and the two side plates 222 are symmetrically formed in the left-right direction. The distance between the two side plates 212 and the distance between the two side plates 222 are substantially the same.

[0020] One surface of each of the main board members 211 and 221 ( Figure 2 the surface shown) is a climbing surface 230. The other surface of each of the main board members 211 and 221 is a slide surface 240 (see Figure 3 ). The slide surface 240 constitutes a surface opposite to the climbing surface 230. In other words, the climbing surface 230 and the slide surface 240 constitute a pair of surfaces. The climbing surface 230 is provided with a plurality of protrusions 233 that extend between the side plates 212 and between the side plates 222 and protrude from the main board members 211 and 221, imitating the rod-shaped steps of a ladder. The climbing surface 230 of the accessory toy 200 is the surface used when the accessory toy extends in a straight line as Figure 2 and Figure 3 shown. On the other hand, as Figure 7 shown, the slide surface 240 of the accessory toy 200 is the surface used when the accessory toy is bent and played as a toy slide.

[0021] As shown Figure 2 in FIG. Figure 2 , the climbing surface 230 of the first member 210 is the first climbing surface 231. As shown Figure 3 in FIG. Figure 3 Figure 4 and FIG. Figure 4 , the slide surface 240 of the first member 210 is the climbing surface for slide 241. The climbing surface for slide 241 has a plurality (four in this embodiment) of cross plates 241a and 241b disposed between the two side plates 212. In this way, the climbing surface for slide 241 is formed in a stepped shape. Note that, as shown Figure 6 in FIG. Figure 6 , when the accessory toy 200 is used as a slide, Figure 4 the lower surfaces of the cross plates 241a and 241b in FIG. Figure 4 become the step surfaces 241a1 and 241b1 that serve as the stepping surfaces.

[0022] When installed as a toy slide, the step surface 241b1 of the cross plate 241b located at the end of the first member 210 serves as the first step surface (see FIGS. Figure 6 Figure 6 and Figure 7 ). The step surface 241b1 is disposed at an angle with respect to the step surfaces 241a1 of the other cross plates 241a so as to descend from the main board member 211 toward the end of the cross plate 241b. In other words, the cross plate 241b is inclined in a manner that expands with respect to the other cross plates 241a from the main board member 211 toward the end of the cross plate 241b (the end on the slide surface 240 side).

[0023] In addition, as shown Figure 2 in FIG. Figure 2 , the end of the cross plate 241b on the main board member 211 side (the climbing surface 230 side) protrudes from the surface of the main board member 211 and is formed as a protrusion 233. In addition, as shown Figure 4 in FIG. Figure 4 , a first engaging portion 251 is provided on the side of the first member 210 opposite to the cross plate 241b. The first engaging portion 251 has a protruding shaft shape that protrudes from the side plates 212 in the left - right direction. Between the first engaging portions 251, a bulging portion 213 bulges in the axial diameter direction of the first engaging portions 251.

[0024] As shown Figure 2 in FIG. Figure 2 , with the cross plate 241b being the lowermost end, the climbing surface 230 side of the cross plate 241a located at the uppermost end protrudes from the main board member 211 as a protrusion 233. In addition, as shown Figure 3 in FIG. Figure 3 , a groove 214 is provided in the outer surface of each of the two side plates 212 near the end on the side of the first engaging portion 251. The groove 214 is long in a direction perpendicular to the length direction of the side plates 212. In addition, as shown Figure 2 in the circular portion P of FIG. Figure 2 , restricting protrusions 215 are provided near the ends of each of the side plates 212 on the cross plate 241a side at the uppermost end and on the edge surfaces of each of the side plates 212 on the climbing surface 230 side.

[0025] As Figure 2 shown, the climbing surface 230 of the second component 220 is the second climbing surface 232. The second climbing surface 232 is also provided with a plurality of protrusions 233 similar to those described above. As Figure 3 shown, the slide surface 242 (the slide surface 242 in the second component 220, i.e., the slide surface 240) that forms the surface opposite to the second climbing surface 232 of the second component 220 is a continuous flat surface, enabling the user to play while sliding the doll during the doll game.

[0026] As Figure 2 and Figure 3 shown, bearings 252 are respectively provided at the ends of the two side plates 222 on the hinge portion 250 side. The bearing 252 is formed in a substantially ring shape protruding from the outer surface of the side plate 222, and the hole in the central portion serves as the second engaging portion 252a. The first engaging portion 251 of the first component 210 is inserted into the second engaging portion 252a of the second component 220. In this way, the first engaging portion 251 is inserted into the second engaging portion 252a and engaged in a concave-convex engaging manner. In other words, the hinge portion 250 has a concave-convex engaging structure formed by the first engaging portion 251 and the second engaging portion 252a. That is, in this embodiment, a concave-convex engaging structure in which the first engaging portion 251 protrudes and the second engaging portion 252a is recessed is provided, but a concave-convex engaging structure in which the first engaging portion 251a is recessed and the second engaging portion 252a protrudes is also possible.

[0027] Each bearing 252 is provided with a support plate 223 protruding from the side surface having a ring shape. The support plate 223 is in the shape of a substantially triangular plate. Referring to Figure 3 , protrusions 223a are provided on the opposing surfaces of each support plate 223 that oppose each other in the left-right direction (the length direction of the protrusion 233) (see the circled portion Q in Figure 3 ). The support plate 223 is also connected to the side plate 222. The support plate 223 is arranged outside the side plate 212 of the first component 210.

[0028] A slit S1 of a predetermined length is provided between the main board component 221 on the hinge portion 250 side and each side plate 222. Note that the thickness of the side plate 222 is set to be thick on the climbing surface 230 to be consistent with the protrusion 233 (see Figure 2 ), and is set to be thinner than the thickness on the climbing surface 230 side on the slide surface 240 (242).

[0029] As Figure 2As shown in the circular portion P, the end of each side plate 222 on the hinge portion 250 side is formed in a cutout shape, and a limiting contact surface 222a that is a flat surface perpendicular to the outer surface and the inner surface (plate surface) of the side plate 222 is provided. In addition, a reinforcing protrusion 222b extending outward from the cutout portion is connected to the bearing 252, and strengthens the connection between the bearing 252 and the side plate 222.

[0030] When the accessory toy 200 is used as a climbing toy such as a ladder, the opening angle between the first member 210 and the second member 220 is set to approximately 180 degrees so that the climbing surface 230 is continuous. In this case, as Figure 3 shown, the stepped surface 241a1 of the cross plate 241a on the hinge portion 250 side contacts the end surface of the slide surface 242 of the second member 220, thereby limiting the opening angle between the first member 210 and the second member 200 in the opening direction. In addition, the protrusion 223a of the support plate 223 of the second member 220 is inserted into and engaged with the groove 214 of the side plate 212 of the first member 210. As a result, the movement of the first member 210 and the second member 220 in the direction of moving away from each other is restricted.

[0031] As Figure 5 shown, the accessory toy 200 configured as a climbing toy can be installed such that the stepped surface 241b1 of the cross plate 241b contacts the upper surface of the floor member 13 of the second floor portion of the dollhouse body 10. Since the cross plate 241b is inclined, the opposite surface of the stepped surface 241b1 can be made substantially parallel to the upper surface of the floor member 13. Then, the floor member 13 is engaged and clamped between the opposite surface of the stepped surface 241a1 of the cross plate 241a adjacent to the cross plate 241b and the stepped surface 241b1 of the cross plate 241b. In this way, the accessory toy 200 is formed such that the first member 210 can be engaged with the floor member 13, and the end portion of the second member 220 can contact the base member 100. As a result, even when a force F pressing on the climbing surface 230 is applied to the accessory toy 200 when the doll plays a game such as climbing a ladder, the possibility that the accessory toy 200 in the ladder state becomes perpendicular to the floor member 13 and falls down is reduced. Note that the internal dimensions of the cross plates 241a and 241b (the dimensions from the main board member 211 to the ends of the cross plates 241a and 241b) are designed such that the accessory toy 200 in the ladder state does not become perpendicular to the floor member 13.

[0032] When the accessory toy 200 is used as a toy slide, as Figure 6 and Figure 7As shown, the first member 210 and the second member 220 rotate relative to each other about the hinge portion 250, such that the climbing surfaces 230 (the first climbing surface 231 and the second climbing surface 232) of the first member 210 and the second member 220 approach each other. The relative rotation of the first member 210 and the second member 220 is performed until the limiting protrusion 215 of the first member 210 contacts the limiting contact surface 222a of the second member 200. Since the end portion (the end portion opposite to the hinge portion 250) of the side plate 212 of the first member 210 has a right-angled shape when viewed from the side, the first member 210 can be arranged to stand upright relative to the mounting surface.

[0033] Here, the end of each side plate 222 of the second member 220 has a C-shaped chamfer at the corner 222c on the side of the climbing surface 230, so that the end of the second member 230 can stably contact and rest on the ground.

[0034] Here, when the first member 210 and the second member 220 are rotated relative to each other to change the accessory toy 200 from the state of a toy slide to the state of a toy ladder, if a foreign object such as a finger is caught between the support plate 223 near the hinge portion 250 and the side plate 212 of the first member 210, or between the end face of the side plate 222 near the hinge portion 250 and the cross plate 241a of the first member 220, since the end portions of the respective side plates 222 of the second member 222 on the hinge portion 250 side have elasticity due to the slit S1, the portions of the respective side plates 222 corresponding to the slit S1 open outward. Then, as the respective side plates 222 move outward, the bearing 252 also moves outward, causing the first engaging portion 251 to separate from the second engaging portion 252a, thereby releasing the concave-convex engagement between the first engaging portion 251 and the second engaging portion 252a and disassembling the first member 210 and the second member 220. Since the portion of the side plate 222 that supports the bearing 252 (the portion of the side plate 222 corresponding to the slit S1) has elasticity, the first engaging portion 251 can be easily fitted to the second engaging portion 252a to perform the concave-convex engagement again.

[0035] In addition, as Figure 6As shown, the floor member 13 of the second floor portion of the dollhouse 1 is configured to be freely attachable and detachable via a guide portion 4 provided on the inner surface of the opposing wall portions 11. Here, the guide portion 4 allows sliding on a long and slender guide surface 4a in the front-rear direction. Further, the guide portion 4 is provided with guide protrusions 4b in the left-right direction above the guide surface 4a. The guide protrusions 4b are shaped to fill the gaps between the inner surfaces of the left wall portion 11 and the right wall portion 11 that are set to expand toward the front side and the side surfaces of the rectangular floor member 13. If the floor member 13 is formed in a trapezoidal shape that conforms to the expanded wall portions 11, the floor member 13 may be set on the guide portion 4 in the wrong front-rear direction and may be damaged. In the dollhouse 1, the floor member 13 is formed in a rectangular shape using the guide protrusions 4b. As a result, when the floor member 13 is set on the guide portion 4, the directivity of the insertion direction of the floor member 13 can be eliminated.

[0036] The floor member 13 removed from the dollhouse 1 can be installed on the front side of the base member 100 to expand the bottom of the dollhouse 1. Then, an accessory toy 200 that is a toy slide can be installed on the floor of the expanded room for play.

[0037] According to the above-described embodiments of the present disclosure, a dollhouse can be provided in the following aspects.

[0038] A combined climbing toy and toy slide for a dollhouse according to a first aspect includes: a first member that includes a first climbing surface and a climbing surface for a slide that constitutes a surface opposite to the first climbing surface; and a second member that includes a second climbing surface and a slide surface that constitutes a surface opposite to the second climbing surface, the second member being rotatably connected to the first member via a hinge portion such that the first climbing surface and the second climbing surface can be connected.

[0039] According to this configuration, for example, when the combined climbing toy and toy slide for a dollhouse is played as a climbing toy such as a toy ladder or a toy staircase for a dollhouse, the first climbing surface of the first member and the second climbing surface of the second member are used, and when the combined climbing toy and toy slide for a dollhouse is played as a toy slide, the climbing surface for a slide of the first member and the slide surface of the second member, which are climbing portions such as steps for the toy slide, can be used. Therefore, a combined climbing toy and toy slide for a dollhouse can be provided that can be transformed from a climbing toy into a toy slide.

[0040] In the combined climbing toy and toy slide for a dollhouse according to the second aspect, the hinge portion has a concavo-convex engagement structure including a first engagement portion provided on the first member and a second engagement portion provided on the second member, and either the first engagement portion or the second engagement portion is provided on the first member or the second member via a slit.

[0041] According to this structure, an elastic force is provided to the first engagement portion or the second engagement portion through the slit. Therefore, even if a foreign object or the like gets stuck between the first member and the second member, damage caused by the stuck foreign object or the like can be reduced by releasing the concavo-convex engagement between the first engagement portion and the second engagement portion. Note that in the present embodiment, a concavo-convex engagement structure in which the first engagement portion protrudes and the second engagement portion is recessed is provided, but a concavo-convex engagement structure in which the first engagement portion is recessed and the second engagement portion protrudes is also possible. In addition, in the present embodiment, the second engagement portion is provided via a slit, but the first engagement portion may also be provided via a slit.

[0042] In the combined climbing toy and toy slide for a dollhouse according to the third aspect, the climbing surface for the slide is formed in a stepped shape having a plurality of cross plates, and the stepped surface of the first step is inclined.

[0043] According to this structure, when the combined climbing toy and toy slide for a dollhouse is used as a toy slide or a toy ladder, even when the toy ladder abuts against the floor member constituting the second floor portion of the dollhouse, the surface opposite to the stepped surface of the first step can be made substantially parallel to the upper surface of the floor member. Therefore, it is possible to provide a combined climbing toy and toy slide for a dollhouse with a good appearance.

[0044] In the combined climbing toy and toy slide for a dollhouse according to the fourth aspect, the first climbing surface and the second climbing surface are formed to imitate a ladder.

[0045] According to this structure, the combined climbing toy and toy slide for a dollhouse can be used as a toy ladder in climbing toys.

[0046] According to the fifth aspect, a dollhouse includes: a combined climbing toy and toy slide for a dollhouse according to any one of the above aspects; a dollhouse body having an open front side, the dollhouse body including a detachable floor member that constitutes an upper staircase including at least a second floor portion; and a base member, wherein the combined climbing toy and toy slide for a dollhouse is configured such that the first member is configured to engage with the floor member and the second member is configured to contact the base member.

[0047] According to this configuration, the floor components of the second floor part can be freely attached to and detached from the playhouse. Therefore, when the climbing toy and the toy slide that are also used for the playhouse are used as a toy ladder, the climbing toy and the toy slide that are also used for the playhouse can be engaged with the floor components for play. In addition, by aligning the removed floor components with the base components, when the climbing toy and the toy slide that are also used for the playhouse are used as a toy slide for play, the toy slide can be placed on the floor part of the extended room.

[0048] Although embodiments of the present disclosure have been described, the present disclosure is not limited to the above embodiments and various changes can be made without departing from the scope.
