[Modes for carrying out the invention]

[0009] Below, an embodiment of a toy will be described with reference to Figures 1 to 12. Figure 1 is a perspective view of the first embodiment 1F of the toy 1 of the present invention. As shown in Figure 1, in its first form 1F, the ready-to-use state (packaged state), the toy 1 has a spherical capsule shape. The outer surface of the spherical main component 10 that constitutes the outer shell of the toy 1 is covered with a transparent wrapping film 80. This spherical shape allows the toy 1 to roll easily and be supplied by the item supply device. The item supply device includes a storage section that can accommodate multiple toys 1 covered with the wrapping film 80 in a random arrangement, a supply section that can randomly select and supply one toy 1 at a time from the storage section, a locking section that locks the supply section, an operating section that can be operated to unlock the locking section and rotate the supply section upon payment of a price, and a passage section that allows the toy 1 to roll from the storage section to the supply opening. The toy 1's shape makes it easy to roll, thus preventing separation or damage during supply from the item supply device and allowing it to be supplied to the user. In addition, in the first form 1F, the internal space contains sub-components 20. Sub-components 20 include the base 30 and operating section 40 (see Figure 2) which are assembled into the second form 2F. Additionally, play components 70 (see Figure 10) used in the play of toy 1 are housed within the internal space.

[0010] Figure 2 is a perspective view of the second form 2F of toy 1. In the second form 2F, the main component 10 is rotatably supported on the base 30, and the main component 10 is rotated by turning the operating part 40 connected to the main component 10. That is, it is used as a bingo game in which game pieces 70 are placed inside the main component 10 and the game pieces 70 are dispensed one by one. The main component 10 is composed of, for example, a first main component 11 and a second main component 12 that can be connected to the first main component 11, and is configured in a spherical shape by connecting the edges 11e and 12e so that they abut each other, as will be described later.

[0011] Figure 3 is a perspective view showing the outer surface of the main component 10 in its disassembled state. As shown in FIG. 3, the hemispherical first main component 11 and the second main component 12 have, for example, a plurality of arc-shaped connecting parts 13 connecting the tops 11a, 12a and the edges 11e, 12e, and are configured in a cage shape. That is, as shown in FIG. 1, a plurality of elongated holes 10h are formed radially from each of the tops 11a, 12a toward each of the edges 11e, 12e. Further, the connecting part 13 has a first-type connecting part 13a with a narrow width and a second-type connecting part 13b with a width wider (thicker) than the first-type connecting part 13a.

[0012] The top 11a of the first main component 11 has, for example, a flat circular part 11b, a top convex part 11c slightly protruding at the center of the circular part 11b, and, for example, a hexagonal fitting recess 11h formed in the top convex part 11c. Further, the outer peripheral surface of the circular part 11b is configured as a side end surface part 11be of the thickness part of the top 11a. Also, the top 12a of the second main component 12 has a flat circular part 12b and a circular fitting hole 12h at the center of the circular part 12b. Further, the outer peripheral surface of the circular part 12b is configured as a side end surface part 12be of the thickness part of the top 12a. The edges 11e, 12e form an annular frame body and are configured as a part connecting the first main component 11 and the second main component 12.

[0013] One end of the connecting part 13 is connected to the side end surface parts 11be, 12be of the tops 11a, 12a, and the other end opposite to the one end is connected to the side end surface parts 11e, 12e of the edges 11e, 12e. That is, the tops 11a, 12a, the edges 11e, 12e, and the connecting part 13 are arranged on substantially the same spherical surface and are configured with substantially the same thickness. Also, the interval between the connecting parts 13, that is, the shape of the elongated holes 10h, is the same shape that widens as it approaches from the tops 11a, 12a side to the edges 11e, 12e side, and is configured with the same size. Further, the maximum width W1 of the elongated holes 10h is configured to be smaller than the diameter W2 of the play component 70 (see FIG. 12).

[0014] The second type of connecting part 13b is provided, for example, in a number of about three. For this second type of connecting part 13b, a large number of the first type of connecting parts 13a are provided. The wide second type of connecting part 13b has a wide (thick) planar portion, which is convenient for applying coloring or a pattern.

[0015] FIG. 4 is a perspective view showing the inner surface side and the mounting parts in the disassembled state of the main component 10. The first main component 11 and the second main component 12 are configured to be connectable with the edges 11e and 12e facing each other. In this connected state, for example, the edge 12e on the second main component 12 side fits inside the edge 11e on the first main component 11 side in a concave-convex shape. Further, a connecting part is provided for connecting the two main components 11 and 12 so that the combined state can be firmly maintained.

[0016] The connecting part is constituted by, for example, the concave holes 11f at the tips of three boss parts provided close to the edge 11e on the first main component 11 side and three protruding piece parts 12f provided close to the edge 12e on the second main component 12 side. This connecting part is provided corresponding to the second type of connecting part 13b. That is, the connecting part is provided in a wide portion, so that it has a strong structure that can be firmly connected.

[0017] The first main component 11 and the second main component 12 are each provided with a first notch 17k that forms a first opening 17 at the facing portion of the respective edges 11e and 12e. Further, a game part holding part 50 is provided in the first opening 17. The game part holding part 50 is supported by a pair of support shafts 51 in the shaft holes 17a provided in both edges 11e and 12e. Thereby, the game part holding part 50 can rotate (swing) to open and close the inside of the first opening 17.

[0018] Furthermore, a second opening 18, larger than the first opening 17, is formed by a second notch 18k opposite the first opening 17 at a predetermined distance in the circumferential direction. This second opening 18 is closed by a lid member 60. Specifically, a pair of support shafts 61 provided on one longitudinal end (lower side in the figure) of the lid member 60 are supported by shaft holes 18a provided on their respective edges 11e and 12e, and are provided to rotate (swing) so that the second opening 18 can be opened and closed. In addition, a hook portion 62 is provided on the other longitudinal end (upper side in the figure) of the lid member 60, and is configured to catch on a hook stopper 18b that protrudes from the inner edge of the second opening 18. In the second embodiment 2F, the lid member 60 is locked in place by the engagement of this hook portion 62 and the hook stopper 18b.

[0019] Figure 5 is a perspective view showing the disassembled state of the sub-component 20. The sub-component 20 includes, for example, a base portion 30 that can be disassembled into four parts, and an operating portion 40. The base portion 30 has a support column portion that rotatably supports the main component 10, and a base portion that supports the support column portion and stabilizes it on the mounting base 90 (see Figure 2). For example, the support column portion is composed of a first component 31 and a second component 32, and the base portion is composed of a third component 33 and a fourth component 34.

[0020] The first component 31 is roughly L-shaped, consisting of a base plate portion 31b and a vertical plate portion 31a that rises perpendicularly from one end of the base plate portion 31b. A cylindrical rotation support projection 31d protrudes from the tip of the vertical plate portion 31a in a direction parallel to the base plate portion 31b. An engaging projection 31c is provided at the other end of the base plate portion 31b, protruding from its corner in a direction perpendicular to the rotation support projection 31d.

[0021] The second part 32, like the first part 31, is composed of a base plate portion 32b and a vertical plate portion 32a that rises perpendicularly from one end of the base plate portion 32b. Furthermore, a protruding engaging projection 32c is provided on the other end of the base plate portion 32b, similar to the first part 31. A circular rotating support hole 32h is also formed at the tip of the vertical plate portion 32a.

[0022] The third component 33 has a base plate portion 33a that forms the mounting surface when placed on the mounting base 90, and a protruding ball receiving portion 33b that forms an inclined surface from the base plate portion 33a. The fourth component 34 is composed of a flat connecting base plate portion 34a, and has a flat ball receiving portion 34b that is continuous with the ball receiving portion 33b, and further has a pair of connecting protrusions 34d that can be connected to the base plate portion 33a.

[0023] The operating section 40 is a component that rotates the main component 10. For example, one end (upper side in the figure) of the handle arm section 40a, which is shorter than the vertical plate section 32a, is provided with a hexagonal insertion projection 40c that fits into the top 11a of the main component 10. The other end (lower side in the figure) of the handle arm section 40a is provided with a handle section 40b that protrudes in the opposite direction to the insertion projection 40c.

[0024] Figure 6 is an exploded perspective view of the base portion 30 as seen from the back side. As shown in Figure 6, the back surfaces of the third component 33 and the fourth component 34 are provided with corner recesses 33f and 34f at both ends of the abutting portions of both components, which form a connecting recess 30f (see Figure 7) when the two components are combined. The third component 33 is also provided with a pair of fitting protrusions 33d that protrude downward in the thickness direction of the substrate portion 33a. On the other hand, the connecting protrusion 34d of the fourth component 34 is provided with a tip fitting hole 34h that fits into the fitting protrusion 33d.

[0025] Figure 7 is a perspective view showing how the base portion 30 is assembled. When assembling the base portion 30 configured as described above, as shown in Figure 7, first, the third part 33 and the fourth part 34 are fitted together by inserting the fitting projection 33d and the tip fitting hole 34h into the connecting recess 30f formed by this process. In this way, one end of the bottom plate portions 31b and 32b is fitted into the connecting recess 30f formed by this process. As a result, the connecting projections 33c and 34c of the connecting recess 30f engage with the engaging projections 31c and 32c, and the first part 31 and the second part 32 are held in place so as not to come off the base portion.

[0026] Figure 8 is a perspective view showing how the main component 10 and the sub-component 20 are assembled. The main component 10 is then incorporated into the base 30 assembled as described above. At this time, as shown in Figure 8, the fitting hole 12h of the top portion 12a of the main component 10 is fitted into the rotation support projection 31d, while the top convex portion 11c is fitted into the rotation support hole 32h. After that, the insertion projection 40c of the operating portion 40 is fitted into the fitting recess 11h. In this way, the main body of the toy 1 is completed. When using the toy 1, the play parts 70 are placed inside the main component 10.

[0027] Figure 9 is a perspective view showing the operations before the start of gameplay in the second form, 2F. When starting a game, several (tens) game parts 70 are placed inside the main component 10. In this case, as shown in Figure 9, the lid member 60 is operated to open the second opening 18 and insert the game parts. At this time, the lid member 60 is configured such that the operating tip 63 protrudes slightly from the outer surface of the main component 10, making it easy to grip and particularly easy to open. Furthermore, after inserting the game parts 70, the hook portion 62 is securely locked to the hook stopper 18b, preventing it from opening even when the main component 10 is rotated.

[0028] Furthermore, since toy 1 is small overall, and there are a very large number of play parts 70, it is extremely troublesome to put them in one by one. Therefore, it is convenient if the lid member 60 is locked in an open position at a certain angle as shown in the figure. For example, one person holds a number of toy parts 70 in one hand, and with the other hand, holds the lid member 60 open at a predetermined angle. The person then places the open hand holding the toy parts 70 inside the lid member 60 (with the toy parts 70 resting on the hand) and inserts the toy parts. In other words, when inserting the toy parts 70 into the second opening 18, the lid member 60 is used as a guide plate on the hand holding the number of toy parts 70, allowing multiple toy parts 70 to be inserted at once. In this case, a structure is required that locks the lid member 60 at a predetermined angle. In this embodiment, the structure is configured so that the predetermined opening angle can be maintained by the frictional force between the support shaft 61 and the shaft hole 18a (see Figure 4). As a structure for fixing the opening angle of the lid member 60, for example, a suitable projection may be provided near the shaft hole 18a that abuts against the other end of the lid member 60 (the part opposite to the operating tip 63, with the support shaft 61 in between).

[0029] Figure 10 shows the game component 70, where (a) is a front view showing the component removed from the main component 10, and (b) is an enlarged perspective view showing the game component 70 individually.

[0030] As shown in Figure 10(a), the game components 70 are all connected and integrated using runners 71. That is, the game components 70 are manufactured by injection molding, and the runners 71 used during manufacturing are used as a means of holding the game components 70. In this embodiment, there are three types of runner frames 71A, 71B, and 71C, which are configured in a rectangular shape. For example, in this rectangular shape, they are housed inside the main component 10 of the first form 1F.

[0031] Furthermore, the numerical markings 73 on the game components 70 provided on the three runner frames 71A, 71B, and 71C are all configured to be different. Also, as shown in Figure 10(b), although the game component 70 is spherical as a whole, a part of it is a flat surface 72. The numerical markings 73 are provided on this flat surface 72.

[0032] The game component holder 50 and its operation will be described below with reference to Figures 11 and 12. Figure 11 is a cross-sectional perspective view of the portion along line AA in Figure 2. Figure 12 is an enlarged perspective view of the main part of Figure 11. As shown in Figures 11 and 12, the toy part holder 50 is rotatably provided within the first opening 17. This toy part holder 50 is equipped with a hemispherical retaining recess 52 corresponding to the shape of the toy part 70 and is configured to accommodate one toy part 70. A first wall portion 54 is provided at one end of the retaining recess 52 (right side in Figure 12), projecting toward the center of the main part 10. On the other hand, a second wall portion 55 is provided at the other end of the retaining recess 52 (left side in Figure 12), which protrudes less toward the center of the main part 10 than the first wall portion 54. Furthermore, this second wall portion 55 extends in a direction approximately 90 degrees different from the first wall portion 54 and protrudes toward the outside of the first opening 17, that is, toward the outside of the main part 10.

[0033] When toy 1 is in play, the main component 10 is rotated in a predetermined direction (arrow direction). This causes the play component 70 to enter the retaining recess 52, and further rotation of the main component 10 causes the play component 70 to be discharged from the retaining recess 52 to the outside of the main component 10. This occurs when the main component 10 is rotated while the play component 70 is inside the retaining recess 52, and the play component holder 50, during the rotation of the main component 10, reaches a position where the first opening 17 is facing downwards, for example, the position shown in Figure 10 or a similar position, and rotates (oscillates) counterclockwise around the pivot shaft 51 (arrow C direction). As a result, the play component 70 is discharged from the main component 10.

[0034] Furthermore, a groove 10g is formed within the main component 10 at the joint between the edge 11e of the first main component 11 and the edge 12e of the second main component 12. When the main component 10 rotates, the toy part 70 can roll within this groove 10g and move along the groove 10g. This allows the toy part 70 to be guided into the retaining recess 52 facing one end of the groove 10g. In addition, the first wall portion 54 protrudes high toward the inside of the main component 10, making it easy to hook onto the moving toy part 70.

[0035] As described above, according to the toy 1 of this embodiment, the main component 10 can be formed into a capsule shape with an internal space by joining the edges 11e and 12e of the hemispherical first main component 11 and the second main component 12. Therefore, a component (sub-component 20) that will form a second form 2F of the toy 1 that can be played with in combination with the main component 10 can be housed in the internal space, making it possible to provide a compact product. Furthermore, since the first main component 11 and the second main component 12 have multiple elongated holes 10h that radiate from their respective tops 11a and 12a toward their respective edges 11e and 12e, when the product is provided in a state where a part of the component housed in the internal space can be seen through the main component 10, it is possible to evoke a sense of anticipation for the completed form (play form) of the toy 1, and it is also possible to reduce the cost of materials.

[0036] Furthermore, since the elongated holes 10h widen from the tops 11a, 12a towards the edges 11e, 12e, the connecting portion 13 can be configured to radiate outwards from the tops 11a, 12a towards the edges 11e, 12e. Therefore, in injection molding, the moldability can be improved by providing the injection gate for molten resin on the tops 11a, 12a side. As a result, a main component 10 with a good yield and resistance to deformation can be provided.

[0037] In toy 1 of this embodiment, the play parts 70 are bundled together in a large size in the first form 1F (connected by a runner 71), so they do not fall out of the opening and can be housed inside the main part 10. Furthermore, when connected by the runner 71, they are easy to handle, space-saving, and easy to house inside the main part 10.

[0038] In the toy 1 of this embodiment, in the second form 2F, the base portion 30 (a component larger than the main component 10) that rotatably supports the main component 10 is an assembly structure of multiple components (first component 31 to fourth component 34), so it can be stored in the internal space of the first form 1F in a disassembled state. Furthermore, in the second form 2F, the operating unit 40 that rotates the main component 10 is detachable from the main component 10 and is configured to fit within the internal space, so it can be stored in the internal space of the first form 1F. As a result, a structure that can be rotated as a bingo game can be provided in a capsule state.

[0039] In toy 1 of this embodiment, the number of thin first-type connecting parts 13a is greater than the number of thick second-type connecting parts 13b, so the opening area of ​​the main part 10 can be increased, allowing the internal space of the main part 10 to be clearly seen in the first form 1F and the second form 2F. Furthermore, since both ends of the connecting part 13, the top parts 11a, 12a, the edges 11e, 12e, and the connecting part 13 are arranged on substantially the same spherical surface, the molten resin flows easily during resin molding, resulting in good moldability. As a result, it is possible to provide a main part 10 that has a good product yield and is resistant to deformation.

[0040] Furthermore, since the second type of connecting part 13b is thicker than the first type of connecting part 13a, it is possible to change the appearance of the main component 10. Also, the thicker second type of connecting part 13b is easier to color and create patterns on, for example, by applying stickers. Therefore, by using patterns created with the second type of connecting part 13b, it becomes possible to create color changes, pattern changes, and even animations in the second form 2F by rotating the main component 10.

[0041] In the toy 1 of this embodiment, the first main component 11 and the second main component 12 are connected by facing each other at their annular frame edges 11e and 12e. Therefore, the first opening 17 and the second opening 18 can be easily formed in the first main component 11 and the second main component 12, which are formed by resin molding.

[0042] In the toy 1 of this embodiment, the connection between the first main component 11 and the second main component 12 is made using a second type of connecting part 13b that is wide (thick). As a result, the connecting part can be made larger, which improves the ease of connection and the strength of the connection.

[0043] In the toy 1 of this embodiment, a groove 10g is formed at the joint between the edge 11e of the first main component 11 and the edge 12e of the second main component 12, making it easy to form the groove 10g. Furthermore, since the groove 10g on the internal space side of the main component 10 is connected to the first opening 17, the toy part 70 can move along the groove 10g so as to be guided to the first opening 17 of the discharge area. This makes it easier to discharge the toy part 70.

[0044] In the toy 1 of this embodiment, the first opening 17 and the second opening 18 are formed by notch structures provided on the opposing portions of the edges 11e and 12e, making it easy to form the first opening 17 and the second opening 18.

[0045] In the toy 1 of this embodiment, the toy part holder 50 has a first wall portion 54 that protrudes high inward from the main part 10, making it easier to capture the toy part 70 that moves when the main part 10 rotates. Furthermore, the toy part holder 50 is equipped with a second wall portion 55 that is lower in height than the first wall portion 54 which protrudes inward from the main part 10 and also protrudes outward from the first opening 17 from the main part 10, so the toy part 70 can be easily discharged from the side of this second wall portion 55.

[0046] In the toy 1 of this embodiment, the toy part holder 50 can rotate (oscillate) in accordance with the rotation of the main part 10, so that the toy parts 70 inside the toy part holder 50 can be released outside the main part 10.

[0047] In the toy 1 of this embodiment, the second opening 18 is configured to be closed by a rotatable and rotatably locked lid member 60, so that the toy parts 70 do not spill out of the main part 10 while it is rotating. Also, since the second opening 18 is formed to be larger than the first opening 17, it is easy to insert the toy parts 70 into the main part 10.

[0048] In the toy 1 of this embodiment, the play part 70 is generally spherical, but has a flat surface 72 on a part of it, making it easy to form letters or other shapes on this part.

[0049] Although one embodiment of the present invention has been described above, the present invention can be modified as appropriate within the scope of its technical concept. For example, in the above embodiment, the main component 10 is composed of a first main component 11 and a second main component 12 that are hemispherical in shape and of approximately the same size, but it is sufficient that the two components form a spherical shape, and the two components do not necessarily have to be of the same size.

[0050] In the above embodiment, the case where the base portion 30 consists of four parts was described, but this is not necessarily limited to this, and can be changed as appropriate, as long as the base portion 30 and the operating portion 40 are small enough to be housed inside the main component 10.
