Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of toy technology, specifically to a handheld squeezing toy that stimulates the senses through touch. Background Technology

[0002] Squeezable toys are silicone toys, typically flat and sheet-like structures slightly larger than a thumb. Their surfaces are designed with various raised patterns made of dots, blocks, and lines, and are used for squeezing and playing. By stimulating the tactile senses of the hands, they can help to distract attention, pass the time, and relieve anxiety.

[0003] The shortcomings of existing squeeze toys are that the flat structure and textured surface make it difficult for fingers to slide, which is not conducive to squeezing and may even cause anxiety; the surface space is small, and the texture is relatively simple on at most two sides, resulting in insufficient playability. Of course, these shortcomings can be compensated for by increasing the number of toys, but this makes them inconvenient to store and carry. Therefore, the existing technology still needs improvement and development. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to address the shortcomings and deficiencies of existing technologies by providing a handheld pinchable toy that is structurally sound, provides sensory stimulation, is durable, and easy to carry, and stimulates the senses through touch.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0006] The present invention describes a handheld pinchable toy that stimulates the senses through touch, comprising:

[0007] The shell is made of an elastic material and has a hollow structure.

[0008] Cutting planes, a plurality of the cutting planes being distributed on the surface of the housing;

[0009] The embossed pattern is provided on the cutting plane, and the embossed pattern is composed of raised parts and / or recessed parts.

[0010] According to the above scheme, the height of the protrusion and the depth of the recess are both H, where H ≥ 0.5 mm.

[0011] According to the above scheme, the distance between any two points on the surface of the shell is less than 100mm.

[0012] According to the above scheme, two adjacent cutting planes intersect to form several edges on the shell, and three adjacent cutting planes intersect to form several corners on the shell. The edges and corners are all transitioned by curved surfaces.

[0013] According to the above scheme, the cutting plane is a regular polygon, and the uniform distribution of several cutting planes makes the shell form a regular polyhedron.

[0014] According to the above scheme, the side length of the cutting plane is L, where L≥10mm.

[0015] According to the above scheme, the housing is provided with at least 8 cutting surfaces.

[0016] According to the above scheme, the shell is made of silicone material.

[0017] According to the above scheme, the shape of the protrusion and / or recess includes lines, wireframes, curved blocks, and polyhedral blocks.

[0018] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: This utility model has a reasonable structure, and the hollow shell has a better grip and kneading feel. Multiple cutting planes make the shell surface sharp and distinct, which stimulates nerves and causes the body to release endorphins to relax the body. The cutting planes are set with various three-dimensional concave and convex patterns to meet the needs of visual senses, and can better rub and stimulate the feel of the hand, further enhancing the entertainment value of the squeezing fun, releasing body pressure and avoiding anxiety.

[0020] Figure 2 This is a schematic diagram of another embodiment of the present invention.

[0021] In the diagram: 1. Shell; 11. Cutting plane; 12. Embossing pattern; 13. Edge; 14. Corner. Detailed Implementation

[0022] The technical solution of this utility model will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0023] like Figure 1-2 As shown, the present invention discloses a handheld pinchable toy that stimulates the senses through touch, comprising: a shell 1 made of elastic material and having a hollow structure; cutting surfaces 11, a plurality of cutting surfaces 11 distributed on the surface of the shell 1; and raised and recessed patterns 12, the raised and recessed patterns 12 being provided on the cutting surfaces 11, the raised and recessed patterns 12 being composed of protrusions and / or depressions. The hollow shell 1 provides a better grip and pinching feel, the plurality of cutting surfaces 11 make the surface of the shell 1 have distinct edges and corners, which can stimulate nerves when pinched, causing the body to release endorphins and relax. The various three-dimensional raised and recessed patterns 12 on the cutting surfaces 11 can not only satisfy visual sensory needs, but also better rub and stimulate the tactile feel, further enhancing the entertainment value of the pinchable toy, relieving body stress, and avoiding anxiety.

[0024] Specifically, people nowadays often spend long periods of time on their phones during rest, which can affect their eyesight. This new pinchable toy keeps the hands occupied, engaging and relaxing the brain through various stimuli, helping people stay calm and improve their focus on the environment and other tasks. The raised and recessed patterns 12 enhance grip comfort and provide a rich tactile experience, effectively relieving stress. In particular, it offers a sensory outlet for children with ADHD and autism, distracting their attention and alleviating their anxiety or irritability.

[0025] Furthermore, the height of the protrusion and the depth of the recess are both H, where H ≥ 0.5 mm, and the shell 1 is made of silicone material. This allows the raised and recessed patterns 11 to better stimulate the nerves in the palm and provide greater friction, thereby improving the feel of holding, pinching, and gripping, and ultimately prompting the body to release endorphins to relax the body.

[0026] Furthermore, two adjacent cutting planes 11 intersect to form several edges 13 on the shell 1, and three adjacent cutting planes 11 intersect to form several corners 14 on the shell 1. Both the edges 13 and corners 14 utilize curved surface transitions. These edges 13 and corners 14 create distinct edges on the surface of the shell 1, while the curved surface transitions prevent the edges 13 and corners 14 from being too sharp, allowing for better friction and stimulation, further enhancing the entertainment value of the squeezing toy, relieving body stress, and preventing anxiety.

[0027] Furthermore, the distance between any two points on the surface of the shell 1 is less than 100mm. If the shell 1 is spherical, its diameter is less than 100mm; if the shell 1 is elliptical, its major axis diameter is less than 100mm. This makes the size of the shell 1 easy to hold in the palm of the hand, allowing an adult to hold 2-3 squeeze toys simultaneously. Of course, the distance between any two points on the shell 1 can be made 80mm to accommodate children's squeezing and playing.

[0028] Preferably, the side length of the cutting plane 11 is L, where L ≥ 10 mm, meaning the length of the aforementioned edge 13 is greater than 10 mm, thus better suited to children's hand sizes. If intended for adult use, the side length L of the cutting plane 11, i.e. the length of the edge 13, can be 20 mm.

[0029] The cutting plane 11 is a regular polygon, and a number of cutting planes 11 are evenly distributed so that the shell 1 forms a regular polyhedron. The shell 1 of the regular polyhedron can be freely rotated, and when there are enough cutting planes 11 on the shell 1, the shell 1 can roll approximately like a sphere.

[0030] The housing 1 has at least eight cutting surfaces 11, meaning that the housing 1 and the cutting surfaces 11 thereon form a regular octahedron, thereby ensuring that the included angle between any two adjacent cutting surfaces 11 is greater than 90° (109°28′16.3″), thus preventing the edges 13 and corners 14 from being too sharp. Further, as... Figure 1-2 As shown, the shell 1 is a regular dodecahedron, meaning the cutting plane 11 is a regular pentagon; or, the shell 1 is a regular icosahedron, meaning the cutting plane 11 is a regular trigon. It is understood that the more cutting planes 11 there are, the more rounded the edges 13 and corners 14 become, making the shell 1 more approximately spherical, providing a better feel, and facilitating mold making and processing. It is understood that the hollow shell 1 can be processed into upper and lower parts, or one of the cutting planes 11 can be used as a top cover, sealed during assembly using an adhesive process.

[0031] The shapes of the protrusions and / or recesses include lines, wireframes, curved blocks, and polyhedral blocks.

[0032] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model. Therefore, all equivalent changes or modifications made to the structure, features and principles described in the claims of the present utility model patent application are included in the scope of the present utility model patent application.
