DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS

[0014] [Embodiments of the present invention] FIG. 1 is a perspective view showing one form of a pedestal for a performance component according to an embodiment of the present invention in use.

[0015] As shown in FIG. 1, a base 10 for a performance member can be installed near the displayed humanoid toys G1, G2 and used to support the performance member. Here, two fighting humanoid toys G1 and G2 are exhibited, and each humanoid toy G1 and G2 is provided with a pedestal 10 for a performance member. Therefore, two pedestals 10 for performance members, a pedestal 11 for a first performance member and a pedestal 12 for a second performance member, are provided. In the explanation of Figures 2 and 3, unless otherwise specified, the base 11 for the first performance member and the base 12 for the second performance member will not be distinguished and will be explained as the base 10 for the performance member.

[0016] As shown in FIGS. 2 and 3, the base 10 for the performance component has a plurality of leg members 20 placed on a support surface 60. Here, an example having three leg members 20 is shown, but it is also possible to have two leg members 20 or three or more leg members 20. Incidentally, having three or more leg members 20 is desirable because it provides a stable base.

[0017] The leg member 20 has one leg portion 21, which has a support shaft 22 (referred to as a "connecting portion" in the present invention) at one end in the longitudinal direction thereof and an insertion hole 231 at the other end thereof. It is desirable to use a linear member with a flat lower surface for the leg portion 21, since the leg portion 21 is placed on the support surface 60. For example, a member with a triangular cross section whose bottom surface can come into contact with the support surface 60 can be used.

[0018] The support shaft 22 is provided at a position extending in the longitudinal direction from the center line of the leg portion 21. In other words, the leg portion 21 (leg member 20) protrudes outward from the support shaft 22 (connecting portion) with respect to the support shaft 22. The support shaft 22 has a planar shape parallel to the bottom surface of the leg portion 21, and the leg members 20 can be connected via the support shaft 22 of each leg member 20. For example, the support shaft 221 of the leg member 201 arranged at the very bottom (i.e., on the side closest to the support surface 60) has a support shaft plate 24 whose lower surface is flush with the bottom surface of the leg portion 21, and the upper surface of the support shaft plate 24 is provided with a protrusion 25 that protrudes upward.

[0019] Furthermore, a support shaft 222 (referred to as a "connecting portion" in the present invention) of leg member 202 attached to the upper side of leg member 201 has a support shaft plate 26 provided at the center in the height direction of leg member 202. Support shaft plate 26 is provided with a through hole 27 into which protrusion 25 of support shaft 221 can be inserted. Furthermore, a support shaft 223 (referred to as a "connecting portion" in the present invention) of leg member 203 attached to the upper side of leg member 202 is provided with a support shaft plate 28 at the uppermost position in the height direction of leg member 203. A through hole 29 is provided in support shaft plate 28, into which protrusion 25 of support shaft 221 can be inserted. The length of the leg portion 21 in each of the leg members 201, 202, 203 is arbitrary, and if leg members 201, 202, 203 having leg portions 21 of various lengths are prepared, they can be combined in any desired manner.

[0020] Therefore, through hole 27 of leg member 202 is fitted from above onto convex portion 25 of leg member 201, and further, through hole 29 of leg member 203 is fitted onto convex portion 25 of leg member 201 from above. As a result, support shafts 221, 222, 223 of the three leg members 201, 202, 203 are connected in a nested manner. In this case, by making the outer shape of the convex portion 25 cylindrical and making the through holes 27 and 29 circular with an inner diameter larger than the outer diameter of the convex portion 25, the three leg members 201, 202, 203 are detachably and rotatably connected around the support shaft 22 (the "connecting portion" as referred to in the present invention) (see arrow A in Figure 2). This allows the leg members 201, 202, and 203 to rotate relatively, making it possible to adjust the relative angles of the leg members 201, 202, and 203 to an appropriate angle that does not contact the main toys, i.e., the humanoid toys G1 and G2, and that provides stability as a base.

[0021] Furthermore, by adjusting the plate thickness and height position of support plate 24, support plate 26, and support plate 28, when the three leg members 201, 202, and 203 are combined, support axis 22 (the "connecting portion" in this invention) can form a cylindrical shape as a whole, without spoiling the aesthetic appearance. It should be noted that a protrusion 281 may be provided on the lower surface of support plate 28 of leg member 203, and a circular groove 261 into which protrusion 281 can fit and move may be provided on the upper surface of support plate 26 of leg member 202. This allows leg members 202 and 203 to be connected to each other rotatably (see arrow A in FIG. 2).

[0022] At the other end of leg portion 21, for example, a cylindrical support rod insertion portion 23 is provided at a position extending in the longitudinal direction from the center line of leg portion 21. At the center of support rod insertion portion 23, an insertion hole 231 is provided in a direction perpendicular to mounting surface 60 when leg member 20 is placed on mounting surface 60. In other words, insertion hole 231 is provided in a direction parallel to the axis of support shaft 22. Although the case has been described where the support rod insertion portion 23 having the insertion hole 231 is provided at one end of the leg portion 21, it is also possible to provide the insertion hole 231 directly in the leg portion 21 without providing the support rod insertion portion 23. Also, in this embodiment, the insertion hole 231 is provided in a direction perpendicular to the mounting surface 60 when the leg member 20 is placed on the mounting surface 60, but this is not limited to this, and the direction of the insertion hole 231 can be determined arbitrarily.

[0023] A support rod 30 is inserted into and supported by the insertion hole 231 of the leg member 20. An insertion section 31 and a flange section 32 are provided at the lower end of the support rod 30. The insertion section 31 is inserted into the insertion hole 231 of the leg member 20, and supports the support rod 30 so as not to move by cooperation with the flange section 32. The support rod 30 can be formed using a colorless and transparent material, which makes it possible to ensure that the presence of the support rod 30 does not draw the viewer's attention relatively much when appreciating the humanoid toys G1 and G2, which are the main toys, together with the performance members.

[0024] A support member 40 (referred to as the "support section" in the present invention) for supporting a performance member 50 is connected to the upper end of the support rod 30. The support member 40 has an attachment section 41 into which the tip of the support rod 30 is inserted and into which the support member 40 is detachably attached to the support rod 30, and a performance member holding section 42 that holds the performance member 50. Of course, the support member 40 may be provided on the support rod 30 as an integral part of it, but as in this embodiment, if it is detachably attached to the support rod 30 via the attachment portion 41, it becomes possible to change the support member 40 according to the shape of the performance member even with the same support rod 30, which is highly convenient. Moreover, the support member 40 can also be formed using a colorless and transparent material, and this makes it possible to prevent the presence of the support member 40 from drawing the viewer's attention relatively when appreciating the humanoid toys G1 and G2, which are the main toys, together with the performance members.

[0025] The presentation member 50 may be a plate-shaped object or an accessory to the main toy (such as a severed arm), but is not limited to these. Examples of the plate-shaped performance member 50 include a plate on which is written a description of the situation shown by the humanoid toy, the lines of the characters, sound effects, and other text, and a plate depicting the facial expressions of the characters.

[0026] The attachment portion 41 can be, for example, a cylindrical member, and has an insertion hole 411 into which the tip of the support rod 30 is detachably inserted. The performance member holding unit 42 holds the performance member 50, and the holding method is not specified. For example, when the performance member 50 is plate-shaped, the support member 40 may be one that sandwiches the performance member 50 in the thickness direction.

[0027] Alternatively, if the performance member 50 is something like a severed arm 51 (see Figure 1), an attachment member 43 that can fit into a fitting hole 511 provided in the arm 51 can be used as the performance member holding part 42. Although FIG. 2 illustrates the support member 40 having two mounting members 43, the number of mounting members 43 may be one or three or more.

[0028] The support member 40 can also be attached to the tip of the support rod 30 via a connecting member 33. The connecting member 33 has an extension portion 331 that is attached so as to extend the tip of the support rod 30, and an extended mounting portion 332 that is bent at a different angle and has a tip that can be attached to the mounting portion 41 of the support member 40. The connecting member 33 is detachable from the support rod 30, and is also detachable from the support member 40. The connecting members 33 are available in various angles, and by selecting the connecting member 33 with the desired angle from these, the attachment angle of the performance member 50 supported by the support member 40 relative to the support rod 40 can be easily changed.

[0029] 1 shows an example of a state in which the pedestal 10 for the performance member of this embodiment is used. Here, two pilot-operated humanoid toys G1 and G2 are exhibited, and the arm 51 of the humanoid toy G2 is shown cut off by the weapon 61 held by the humanoid toy G1. A pedestal 11 for a first performance member is installed near the humanoid toy G1, and a pedestal 12 for a second performance member is installed near the humanoid toy G2. The humanoid toys G1 and G2 are freestanding or supported by a support member for humanoid toys (not shown), and are not supported by the pedestal 10 for the performance member, but may be supported by the pedestal 10 for the performance member (not shown).

[0030] In the base 11 for the first performance member installed near the humanoid toy G1, support members 401, 402 for supporting the plate-shaped performance member 50 are attached to the upper part of two support rods 301, 302. In addition, a support member 40 for supporting the arm 51 of the humanoid toy G2 cut off by the humanoid toy G1 is attached to the upper part of the support rod 303.

[0031] A plate-shaped image display board 52 is supported on the support rod 301, and can display, for example, the facial expression of the pilot piloting the humanoid toy G1. A plate-shaped character display board 53 is supported on the support rod 302, and displays lines spoken by the pilot appearing in the humanoid toy G1. The image display board 52 and character display board 53 can be made of plate-shaped members printed, engraved, or with printed matter attached, but liquid crystal display boards can also be used. Furthermore, the cut arm portion 51 is supported on the upper portion of the support rod 303 .

[0032] The base 12 for the second performance member installed near the humanoid toy G2 can be the same as the base 11 for the first performance member described above. Here, there is nothing that corresponds to the severed arm 51, so there is no support rod corresponding to the support rod 303 of the base 11 for the first performance member. In addition, a character display board 53 is attached to the short support rod 301, and an image display board 52 is attached to the long support rod 302.

[0033] Next, the function and effect of the base 10 for the performance component according to this embodiment will be described. In the base 10 for the performance component in this embodiment, the leg members 201, 202, 203 are rotatably connected by nesting the support shafts 221, 222, 223 with each other, and the legs 21 can be selectively combined from a number of types with different protruding lengths. Furthermore, the length of each of the support rods 301, 302, 303 attached to the leg member 20 and the shape of the support member 40 attached to the support rod 30 can be selectively used from a variety of types.

[0034] Therefore, by selecting and combining the desired leg members 20, support rods 30, support members 40, and performance members 50 that differ in length, size, or shape, and placing them near the humanoid toys G1, G2, it is possible to create effects such as a sense of depth, presence, and realism in the scene expressed by the humanoid toys G1, G2.

[0035] In addition, in the base 10 for the performance member according to this embodiment, the support member 40 may be detachable from the support rod 30. This allows various support members 40 to be easily combined.

[0036] In addition, in the base 10 for the performance member according to this embodiment, the support member 40 may be formed integrally with the support rod 30. As a result, the shape of the support member 40 (support portion) is automatically determined when the support rod 30 is selected, so that users who are unfamiliar with placing presentation members near the main toys, the humanoid toys G1 and G2, can easily place the presentation members in appropriate positions and play with the toys.

[0037] Furthermore, in the base 10 for the performance member according to this embodiment, any one of the leg members 20, the support rods 30, and the support members 40 may be colorless and transparent. This reduces the presence of the base 10 for the performance member itself and makes the humanoid toys G1, G2 and the performance member 50 stand out, improving the appearance and creating a sense of depth, presence, realism, etc.

[0038] The base for a performance component of the present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiment, and suitable modifications and improvements are possible. [Explanation of symbols]
