Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present disclosure relates to a playhouse. Background Art

[0002] In the prior art, playhouses that can be assembled by users themselves are known. For example, Patent Document 1 discloses a playhouse that includes a floor member, a plurality of column members, and a plurality of wall members. Among them, the protrusions at the lower ends of the column members are removably inserted into the holes of the floor member, and the wall members are provided between adjacent column members by using the grooves provided in the column members.

[0003] Patent Document 1: JP6397076B1 Summary of the Utility Model

[0004] After the playhouse game is over, the user can disassemble the playhouse again and store it. Here, in the above playhouse, the boss-shaped protrusions protruding from the column members are fitted into the round holes of the floor member. Usually, in order to prevent the playhouse from being easily disassembled, the protrusions and the round holes are interference-fitted with a predetermined interference amount. When disassembling the playhouse, the cooperation between the protrusions and the round holes can be released by swinging the column members left and right. However, in this case, the protrusions may break. In particular, when the user is a child, it is difficult to adjust the force, resulting in the protrusions being easily broken.

[0005] The object of the present utility model is to provide a playhouse that is easy to assemble and disassemble.

[0006] The playhouse according to an aspect of the present disclosure includes: a base member having a plate shape, the base member including a fitting hole portion including a plurality of holes and a mounting surface; and a playhouse body including at least one wall portion having a plate shape and capable of being mounted to the mounting surface, the at least one wall portion including: a mounting portion having a contact surface configured to contact the mounting surface; and a fitting protrusion portion including a plurality of protrusions protruding from the contact surface and configured to cooperate with the fitting hole portion, wherein the mounting portion includes a lever portion protruding outward from an outer surface of the fitting protrusion portion, and a width of a portion of the mounting portion protruding from an inner surface of the fitting protrusion portion is smaller than a width of the lever portion.

[0007] According to the above aspect, a playhouse that is easy to assemble and disassemble can be provided. Description of the Drawings

[0017] Embodiments of the present disclosure will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings. Figure 1 The illustrated dollhouse 1 has an open front (front surface) side and is formed to imitate a two-story house. The dollhouse 1 has a dollhouse body 10 imitating a house and a plate-shaped base member 100. Note that in the following description, when viewing the dollhouse 1 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 constituting the second floor portion. The floor member 13 is configured to be capable of passing through a plate-shaped guide portion 4 that is long in the front-rear direction (see Figure 4) Move in the front-rear direction and be detachably provided on the toy house body 10. The toy house body 10 is provided with a toy ladder 20 that straddles the floor member 13 and the base member 100 that constitutes the first floor portion. In addition, a part of the roof is formed at the rear side of the second floor portion.

[0019] The upper surface of the base member 100 serves as the mounting surface 101 of the toy house body 10. The mounting surface 101 has grooves arranged in a grid shape, forming a wood grain pattern in the style of wooden planks. Note that the upper surface of the floor member 13 is also similarly provided with grooves forming a wood grain pattern in the style of wooden planks.

[0020] The base member 100 is provided with a fitting hole portion 110 (see Figure 2 ), which fits with a fitting protrusion portion 30 (see Figure 3 ) provided at the lower end of the left and right wall portions 11 in a concave-convex fitting manner. The portions where the fitting protrusion portion 30 and the fitting hole portion 110 fit with each other in a concave-convex fitting manner are arranged near the left and right ends at the rear side of the toy house 1. The fitting protrusion portions 30 and the fitting hole portions 110 arranged on the left and right sides are formed with a symmetric and identical structure. Therefore, the following description will focus on the fitting protrusion portion 30 and the fitting hole portion 110 on the left side.

[0021] As Figure 2 shown, the fitting hole portion 110 is composed of a plurality of (i.e., five) holes arranged in the front-rear direction. The central hole among the five holes is the first insertion hole portion 111 serving as the insertion hole portion. The first insertion hole portion 111 is a non-through concave hole having a substantially long rectangular shape that is long in the front-rear direction. On both end sides in the length direction of the first insertion hole portion 111, two engaging hole portions 113 are provided adjacent to the first insertion hole portion 111. Each engaging hole portion 113 is formed as a concave hole portion having a substantially long rectangular shape that is long in the front-rear direction. As Figure 2 and Figure 7 shown, each engaging hole portion 113 is provided with an engaging protrusion 113a that is long in the front-rear direction on the outer wall surface. A through hole 113b having a substantially long rectangular shape that is long in the front-rear direction is provided on the bottom surface of each engaging hole portion 113.

[0022] As Figure 2 shown, second insertion hole portions 112 are respectively provided on the front side of the front engaging hole portion 113 and the rear side of the rear engaging hole portion 113 as insertion hole portions adjacent to each engaging hole portion 113. Insertion ribs 114 are respectively provided between the first insertion hole portion 111 and the front and rear two engaging hole portions 113 and between the front and rear two engaging hole portions 113 and the front and rear adjacent second insertion hole portions 112.

[0023] The dimensions of the first insertion hole portion 111 and the second insertion hole portion 112 in the left - right direction (width direction) and the up - down direction (depth) are substantially the same (see Figure 5 ). The engaging hole portion 113 has dimensions substantially the same as those of the first insertion hole portion 111 and the second insertion hole portion 112 in the left - right direction. The dimension of the engaging hole portion 113 in the up - down direction is formed to be larger than the dimensions of the first insertion hole portion 111 and the second insertion hole portion 112 (see Figure 5 ).

[0024] As Figure 3 shown, an installation portion 11a is provided at the lower end of the wall portion 11. The installation portion 11a has a substantially long rectangular plate shape that is narrow in width and long in the front - rear direction in a manner orthogonal to the wall portion 11. The outer edge surface of the installation portion 11a is substantially continuous with the corresponding edge surface of the base member 100 (see Figure 6 and Figure 7 ). The lower surface of the installation portion 11a is configured as a contact surface 11a1. The contact surface 11a1 is a surface that contacts the mounting surface 101 when the dollhouse body 10 is mounted to the mounting surface 101 of the base member 100. The contact surface 11a1 is provided with a fitting protrusion 30, and the fitting protrusion 30 includes a plurality of protrusions protruding from the contact surface 11a1.

[0025] The fitting protrusion 30 is provided with a first insertion protrusion 31, which is an insertion protrusion having a substantially long rectangular plate shape that is long in the front - rear direction. Two second insertion protrusions 32 are provided on both end sides of the first insertion protrusion 31, and they are insertion portions having a substantially long rectangular plate shape with a length shorter than that of the first insertion protrusion 31. Two elastic protrusions 33 are provided between the first insertion protrusion 31 and the second insertion protrusion 32. The elastic protrusions 33 are formed to be thinner than the insertion protrusions (the first insertion protrusion 31 and the second insertion protrusion 32) and are elastic. The first insertion protrusion 31 and the second insertion protrusion 32 are formed to have the same thickness.

[0026] A engaging concave portion 33a is provided outside the elastic protrusion 33, and the engaging concave portion 33a has a substantially long rectangular concave shape that is long in the front - rear direction. A gap S is provided between the insertion protrusion and the elastic protrusion 33, specifically, between the first insertion protrusion 31 and the elastic protrusion 33 and between the second insertion protrusion 32 and the elastic protrusion 33.

[0027] As Figure 4As shown, the inner surface 35a of the insertion protrusions (the first insertion protrusion 31 and the second insertion protrusion 32) that mate with the protrusion 30 is substantially flush with the inner surface of the elastic protrusion 33. As described above, since the elastic protrusion 33 is formed thinner than the first insertion protrusion 31 and the second insertion protrusion 32, the outer surface 35b of the insertion protrusions (the first insertion protrusion 31 and the second insertion protrusion 32) of the mating protrusion 30 is located outside the outer surface of the elastic protrusion 33.

[0028] Here, the inner surface of the wall portion 11 is provided such that the angle θ1 formed with respect to the inner surface of the rear connecting wall portion 12 is an obtuse angle. For example, θ1 is set to 92 degrees (θ1 = 92°). Therefore, when viewed from the front side, the dollhouse 1 can have a large internal space. On the other hand, the inner surface 35a of the mating protrusion 30 is provided such that the angle θ2 formed with respect to the inner surface of the connecting wall portion 12 is a right angle. Even when the wall portion 11 expands forward, since the longitudinal direction of the mating protrusion 30 provided on the wall portion 11 is orthogonal to the connecting wall portion 12, the torsion of the mating protrusion 30 can be reduced when the user detaches the dollhouse body 10 from the base member 100.

[0029] In addition, the mounting portion 11a is formed in a substantially right trapezoidal shape in a plan view. That is, one side on the outer side of the mounting portion 11a is at a right angle to the connecting wall portion 12. The inner side of the mounting portion 11a is inclined to mimic the inclination of the wall portion 11 and is consistent with the expanded wall portion 11. The mounting portion 11a is provided with a lever portion 11a2 that protrudes outward with respect to the outer surface 35b of the mating protrusion 30 in the front-rear direction.

[0030] Here, the width W2 of the portion of the mounting portion that protrudes with respect to the inner surface 35a of the insertion protrusion of the mating protrusion 30 (the distance from the inner surface 35a to the inner edge of the mounting portion 11a) is smaller than the width W1 of the lever portion 11a2 (the distance from the outer surface 35b to the outer edge of the mounting portion 11a) (see also Figure 6 ). In addition, the width W2 of the portion that protrudes with respect to the inner surface 35a of the insertion protrusion of the mating protrusion 30 is set to gradually decrease from the rear to the front. In particular, the width W2 disappears at the portion in front of the second insertion protrusion 32 on the front side. In this way, the amount of protrusion of the edge 11b (see also Figure 1 ) of the base end (the inner side of the upper surface of the mounting portion 11a) of the wall portion 11 provided in an expanded manner from the inner surface of the wall portion 11 becomes constant, and the amount of protrusion of the edge 11b can be made smaller, so that toy furniture such as a toy wardrobe (not shown) can be arranged such that when the toy furniture is arranged inside the dollhouse 1, the inner surface of the wall portion 11 and the rear surface of the toy furniture are close to each other or in contact with each other.

[0031] As Figure 5As shown, when the dollhouse body 10 is attached to the base member 100, the mating protrusion 30 mates with the mating hole portion 110. More specifically, the first insertion protrusion 31 is inserted into the first insertion hole portion 111 and mates in a concave-convex mating manner. The two second insertion protrusions 32 are respectively inserted into the second insertion hole portions 112 and mate in a concave-convex mating manner. As Figure 6 shown, the concave-convex mating between the insertion protrusions (the first insertion protrusion 31 and the second insertion protrusion 32) and the insertion hole portions (the first insertion hole portion 111 and the second insertion hole portion 112) is press-fitted to an extent that enables attachment and detachment.

[0032] As Figure 5 shown, the two elastic protrusions 33 are respectively inserted into the engaging hole portions 113. At this time, as Figure 7 shown, the engaging protrusion 113a of the engaging hole portion 113 enters the engaging concave portion 33a of the elastic protrusion 33 and engages. In addition, the insertion ribs 114 disposed between the insertion protrusions and the engaging hole portions 113 are inserted into the corresponding gaps S in the mating protrusion 30. As a result, the movement of the dollhouse body 10 relative to the base member 100 is reliably restricted. In this way, the insertion protrusions and the insertion hole portions are press-fitted, the elastic protrusions 33 engage with the engaging hole portions 113, and the insertion ribs 114 are inserted into the gaps S, thereby firmly fixing the dollhouse body 10 to the base member 100.

[0033] When the dollhouse 1 is put away after the game, the dollhouse body 10 can be detached from the base member 100. Here, in the case where children are the main users, it is difficult to release the concave-convex mating between the mating protrusion 30 and the mating hole portion 110 by separating the dollhouse body 10 from the base member 100 substantially vertically. Therefore, when the user is a child, there is a situation where the left or right side of the dollhouse body 10 is lifted to release the mating state between the mating protrusion 30 and the mating hole portion 110 one by one.

[0034] In the dollhouse 1, when one of the left and right sides of the dollhouse body 10 is lifted to release the mating state between the mating protrusion 30 and the mating hole portion 110, as Figure 8As shown, the concave-convex fit between the mating protrusion 30 on the other side and the mating hole portion 110 forms a support point between the lower surface of the lever portion 11a2 and the upper surface (mounting surface 101) of the base member 100 facing the lower surface of the lever portion 11a2. Then, since the support point receives the force, the insertion protrusions (the first insertion protrusion 31 and the second insertion protrusion 32) can be disengaged from the insertion hole portions (the first insertion hole portion 111 and the second insertion hole portion 112) without applying excessive force to the insertion protrusions. Note that since the elastic protrusion 33 has elasticity, the elastic protrusion 33 will bend slightly when the insertion protrusion is engaged with and disassembled from the insertion hole portion, and the engaging protrusion 113a engages with and disengages from the engaging concave portion 33a.

[0035] According to the above-described embodiments of the present disclosure, a dollhouse can be provided in the following aspects.

[0036] The dollhouse according to the first aspect includes: a base member having a plate shape, the base member including a mating hole portion including a plurality of holes and a mounting surface; and a dollhouse body including at least one wall portion having a plate shape and capable of being mounted to the mounting surface, the at least one wall portion including: a mounting portion having a contact surface configured to contact the mounting surface; and a mating protrusion including a plurality of protrusions protruding from the contact surface and configured to mate with the mating hole portion, wherein the mounting portion includes a lever portion protruding outward relative to the outer surface of the mating protrusion, and the width of the portion of the mounting portion protruding relative to the inner surface of the mating protrusion is smaller than the width of the lever portion.

[0037] According to this configuration, the dollhouse body can be easily mounted to the base member by the concave-convex fit between the mating protrusion and the mating hole portion, and even a child can easily remove the dollhouse body from the base member by first lifting the left or right side of the dollhouse body. Therefore, by separating the dollhouse body and the base member after the game, the dollhouse body and the base member can be compactly stored. In addition, the dollhouse body and the base member are firmly fixed by the concave-convex fit between the mating protrusion and the mating hole portion. Therefore, even when the dollhouse body is lifted with toy furniture placed on the base member inside the dollhouse body, the base member will be held and will not fall, so that the dollhouse can be easily moved, etc. In addition, since the width of the portion protruding relative to the inner surface of the mating protrusion can be made small, toy furniture can be arranged with a good appearance. In addition, since the dollhouse can be packaged in a state where the dollhouse body and the base member are separated, the packaging material can be made small, so that a dollhouse can be provided as a product considering environmental issues such as reducing transportation costs and reducing the amount of packaging material.

[0038] In the dollhouse according to the second aspect, the engaging protrusion includes an insertion protrusion and at least one elastic protrusion provided at a predetermined interval, the at least one elastic protrusion being formed thinner than the insertion protrusion and having an engaging recess, and the engaging hole portion includes: an insertion hole portion into which the insertion protrusion is inserted; an engaging hole portion into which the at least one elastic protrusion is inserted, the engaging hole portion having an engaging protrusion configured to engage with the engaging recess; and an insertion rib provided between the insertion hole portion and the engaging hole portion and configured to be inserted between the insertion protrusion and the at least one elastic protrusion.

[0039] According to this configuration, the insertion protrusion and the insertion hole portion are press-fitted to facilitate fixing the dollhouse body to the base member, the engaging protrusion engages with the engaging recess to firmly prevent detachment, and removal is also facilitated by the elastic protrusion having elasticity.

[0040] In the dollhouse according to the third aspect, the engaging hole portion is provided on the outer side with respect to the at least one wall portion.

[0041] According to this configuration, when the dollhouse body is removed from the base member by lifting the left or right side of the dollhouse body, the engagement between the engaging recess and the engaging protrusion can be easily released.

[0042] In the dollhouse according to the fourth aspect, the insertion protrusion is provided along the at least one wall portion, the insertion protrusion includes a first insertion protrusion and two second insertion protrusions provided at both ends of the first insertion protrusion, each of the two second insertion protrusions being shorter than the first insertion protrusion, and the at least one elastic protrusion includes two elastic protrusions respectively provided in two gaps formed between the first insertion protrusion and the two second insertion protrusions.

[0043] According to this configuration, the press-fitting portion that is positioned and fixed in the horizontal direction and the portion that restricts disassembly in the vertical direction by the elastic protrusion can be arranged in a balanced manner.

[0044] In the dollhouse according to the fifth aspect, the at least one wall portion includes two wall portions facing each other, and the rear sides of the two wall portions are connected by a plate-shaped connecting wall portion such that the two wall portions open forward.

[0045] According to this configuration, a dollhouse can be provided that makes the interior look spacious, pleasing to the eye, and easy to assemble and disassemble.

[0046] Although embodiments of the present disclosure have been described, the present disclosure is not limited to the above embodiments and can be variously changed without departing from the scope.
