Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the technical field of toys, specifically relating to a toy patch operating device. Background Technology
[0002] Toy patches are thin, sheet-like products, mostly made of plastic and round in shape, about 1-3 cm in diameter, with decorative patterns / text printed on the surface. During play, the toy patches are glued to a substrate using adhesive. Multiple toy patches can be combined and arranged on the substrate surface to form aesthetically pleasing patterns, thus cultivating children's aesthetic abilities and artistic creativity.
[0003] Currently, toy patches are applied with adhesive dots on their backs by the manufacturer before leaving the factory. After leaving the factory and during storage, multiple toy patches are stacked together. When playing, children peel off the top patch from the stack and stick it to the target position, relying on the adhesive dots on its back to attach it to the substrate. However, this method of play has the following problems:
[0004] First, after each toy patch is pasted, a new toy patch must be peeled off with your fingers and then transferred to the substrate for pasting. This is obviously cumbersome, slow, has low automation, low fun, and a poor experience during play.
[0005] II. The back of toy patches needs to be glued by the manufacturer before leaving the factory, which has the following disadvantages: 1. The glue application process is complex and increases costs; 2. The shelf life of the glue on the back of the toy patch is relatively short. After the shelf life, the adhesive strength of the glue will be significantly reduced and it will not be able to stick; 3. Since multiple toy patches are stacked together and there are glue dots between adjacent toy patches, that is, there is a certain adhesive strength. Therefore, when the top layer of toy patch is lifted, the second layer of toy patch above it is often accidentally lifted as well. Utility Model Content
[0006] The purpose of this utility model is to overcome the above-mentioned shortcomings and provide a toy patch operating device that makes the play process continuous, efficient, convenient and quick.
[0007] The objective can be achieved as follows: A toy patch handling device, characterized in that it includes a sliding component and a patch loading component that can slide relative to each other; the patch loading component is provided with a vertical guide tube and a patch storage cavity for storing toy patches, the vertical guide tube is located above the patch storage cavity, and a patch outlet is opened below the patch storage cavity, the edge of the patch outlet forming an annular baffle to prevent the toy patch from falling off naturally; the sliding component includes a pressing head and a sliding inner core, the sliding inner core is slidably sleeved inside the vertical guide tube, the pressing head is fixed below the sliding inner core and slides up and down with the sliding inner core; a hollow hole is opened above the patch storage cavity for the pressing head to pass through, and the pressing head is located in the center of the vertical guide tube cavity.
[0008] The sliding inner core includes a sliding inner cylinder and a horizontal disc. The edge of the horizontal disc is connected to the lower edge of the sliding inner cylinder, and the pressing head is fixedly connected to the lower part of the horizontal disc. The sliding inner cylinder is slidably sleeved in the vertical guide cylinder. The cavity of the sliding inner cylinder is formed into a cylindrical cavity for accommodating adhesive stationery, and the opening of the cylindrical cavity faces upward.
[0009] It also comes with adhesive stationery, which has a cover on the top; the bottom of the adhesive stationery is inserted into the cylindrical cavity of the sliding component, and the cover of the adhesive stationery protrudes outside the cylindrical cavity of the sliding component.
[0010] The sliding assembly also includes a sliding outer cylinder, the top of which is connected to the top of the sliding inner cylinder, and an annular gap is formed between the sliding outer cylinder and the sliding inner cylinder, with the upper part of the vertical guide tube located in the annular gap.
[0011] The lower part of the patch loading assembly is provided with a circular outer shell and a circular box. The circular outer shell is fixedly connected to the vertical guide tube, and the circular box is fitted inside the circular outer shell. The annular baffle is a component of the circular box. The circular box is also provided with an annular sidewall and an annular top plate. The upper edge of the annular sidewall is connected to the annular top plate. The hollow part in the middle of the annular top plate forms the hollow hole. The inner cavity of the circular box forms the patch storage cavity. The annular baffle is connected to the lower edge of the annular sidewall.
[0012] The annular sidewall includes an inner annular sidewall and an outer annular sidewall. The inner annular sidewall is fitted inside the outer annular sidewall, and the outer annular sidewall is fitted inside the circular outer sleeve. The upper edge of the inner annular sidewall is connected to the annular top plate, and the annular flange is connected to the lower edge of the outer annular sidewall.
[0013] Adhesive stationery is a general term encompassing both solid glue stationery and liquid glue stationery. Solid glue stationery consists of a glue stick contained within a round plastic tube, with one end of the glue stick located near the opening of the tube. Liquid glue stationery, on the other hand, contains liquid glue in a round plastic container, also known as a glue bottle, and has an opening at the top for dispensing the glue. Both solid glue and liquid glue stationery are generally cylindrical with a cap. To use, open the cap to expose the opening of the glue bottle or solid glue tube, then invert the stationery to apply the adhesive to the substrate below.
[0014] The term "toy patch falling off naturally" refers to a toy patch falling downwards due to its own weight. Preventing the toy patch from falling off naturally can be achieved by ensuring the inner diameter of the patch outlet is slightly smaller than the diameter of the toy patch itself. During application, the adhesive force can be used to pull the toy patch out from the patch outlet.
[0015] This utility model has the following advantages and effects:
[0016] 1. Before using this utility model, multiple stacked toy patches are placed in the patch storage cavity. A finger presses down the adhesive stationery or sliding component, causing the pressing head of the sliding component to directly press onto the stacked toy patches, transmitting pressure to the center of the bottommost toy patch. This ensures the center of the toy patch makes close contact with the substrate and adheres it to the substrate. Afterward, the toy patch operating tool is removed. Due to the adhesive force, the adhered toy patch cannot leave the substrate with the tool, thus the toy patch... The edge of the toy patch deforms, causing it to detach from the patch outlet of the toy patching tool, thus completing the application of one toy patch. Afterward, the toy patch that was originally on the second-to-last layer is automatically exposed at the patch outlet, ready to automatically transition to the application preparation state for the next toy patch. Simply move the patch outlet to align with other target areas on the substrate to begin the next application step. The entire application process is continuous, efficient, convenient, and quick, highly entertaining, providing a satisfying experience of continuous application and enhancing the player's experience. Furthermore, each pressing and pasting action is similar to the action adults take when stamping in daily life; therefore, this invention can also simulate the process of adults stamping.
[0017] Second, the toy patch supporting this utility model can either be glued on the back by the manufacturer or be pasted using an adhesive stationery without prior gluing on the back. In the case of using an adhesive stationery for pasting, the adhesive stationery is assembled with the sliding component, specifically assembled in the cylindrical cavity of the sliding component; before pasting, open the cover of the adhesive stationery, and turn the toy patch operating device by about 180 degrees with your finger so that the top of the adhesive stationery faces downwards, then the adhesive can be applied at the target position on the substrate to prepare for the subsequent pasting action; when performing the pasting action, turn the toy patch operating device 180 degrees in the reverse direction so that the patch outlet faces downwards again and the top of the adhesive stationery faces upwards again, then it can be pressed.
[0018] Third, in the case of assembling an adhesive stationery, the back of the toy patch does not need to be glued by the manufacturer, which brings the following effects: 1. It saves the complex gluing process; 2. It avoids the problem of the short shelf life of the glue on the back of the toy patch; 3. It avoids the problem that adjacent layer toy patches may be accidentally sucked up in the gluing method; 4. Since the bonding force of the adhesive stationery is stronger than that of gluing, the scope of application of the substrate as a play object is wider, for example, it is applicable to clothes, schoolbags, etc. (traditional gluing is only suitable for relatively flat and smooth substrates such as paper and plastic films) due to its weak bonding force.

The patch outlet 231 is the hollow part in the middle of the annular baffle 233, and the annular baffle 233 is serrated. The hollow part in the middle of the annular top plate 236 is formed with a hollow hole 232, which is located above the patch storage cavity 230.
[0031] Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 , Figure 6 , Figure 7As shown, the sliding assembly 1 includes a pressing head 11, a sliding inner core 16, and a sliding outer cylinder 13. The sliding inner core 16 includes a sliding inner cylinder 12 and a horizontal disc 14. The edge of the horizontal disc 14 is connected to the lower edge of the sliding inner cylinder 12. The pressing head 11 is fixedly connected below the horizontal disc 14 and slides up and down with the sliding inner core. The hollow hole 232 of the circular box body allows the pressing head 11 to pass through. The sliding inner cylinder 12 is slidably sleeved in the vertical guide cylinder 21, and the pressing head 11 is located in the center of the cylinder cavity of the vertical guide cylinder 21. The top end of the sliding outer cylinder 13 is connected to the top end of the sliding inner cylinder 12, and an annular gap 15 is formed between the sliding outer cylinder 13 and the sliding inner cylinder 12. The upper part of the vertical guide cylinder 21 is located in the annular gap 15. A spring 4 is provided in the annular gap 15.
[0032] Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 6 As shown, the cavity of the sliding inner cylinder is formed as a cylindrical cavity 10 for accommodating the solid glue stationery 3, with the opening of the cylindrical cavity 10 facing upwards; the solid glue stationery 3 is also provided, with a cover 31 on the upper part of the solid glue stationery 3; the lower part of the solid glue stationery 3 is inserted into the cylindrical cavity 10 of the sliding assembly, and the cover 31 on the upper part of the solid glue stationery is exposed outside the cylindrical cavity 10 of the sliding assembly.
[0033] The principles and processes of the above embodiments are as follows:
[0034] (1) Before use, open the cap 31 on the top of the solid glue stationery to expose the glue, such as Figure 8 As shown;
[0035] (2) Flip the toy patching tool about 180 degrees with your fingers so that the glue on the solid glue stationery 3 is facing down, and then apply solid glue to the target position on the substrate 6, such as... Figure 9 As shown, this prepares for the subsequent pasting action;
[0036] (3) Rotate the toy patching device 180 degrees in the opposite direction with your fingers, so that the patching outlet 231 faces downward and the top of the solid glue stationery 3 faces upward. Hold the solid glue stationery 3 or slide the outer cylinder 13 with your fingers, so that the patching outlet 231 is aligned with the target area of the substrate 6 where solid glue is applied, such as... Figure 10 As shown;
[0037] (4) Press the solid glue stationery 3 or the sliding outer tube 13 downwards with your finger, and the pressing head 11 of the sliding component will directly press onto the stacked toy patches 5, and transmit the pressure to the center of the bottommost toy patch 5, such as Figure 11As shown, this allows the central portion of the toy patch 5 to come into close contact with the substrate 6 and adhere to it. Afterward, the toy patch operating tool is removed. Due to the adhesive force, the adhered toy patch 5 cannot follow the toy patch operating tool away from the substrate 6. As a result, the edge of the toy patch deforms, causing the toy patch to detach from the patch outlet 231 of the toy patch operating tool. This completes the pasting process of one toy patch. This process can be repeated to continuously paste multiple toy patches 5.
[0038] When the toy patches 5 in the patch storage cavity 230 are used up, they need to be replenished. There are two options: the first is to replace the entire circular box 23, which is pre-loaded with new toy patches; the second is for the player to insert the new toy patches 5 into the patch storage cavity 230 through the patch outlet 231. The toy patches are very thin but slightly rigid sheets, usually made of plastic, with printed graphics on the surface.
