Description

[Technical field]

[0001] The present invention relates to a toilet toy. [Background technology]

[0002] 2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, toilet toys have been known in which users such as children sit and play with dolls or the like (for example, Patent Document 1). The toilet toy in Patent Document 1 is provided with a rotatably arranged disc-shaped display plate inside the toilet body, a drive motor consisting of a step motor that rotates the display plate approximately 90° at a time, and a battery storage section that stores a battery as a power source.

[0003] Additionally, on the top surface of the display plate, two initial images (illustrations of swirling water) and two types of post-action images (illustrations of water droplets evoking urine and illustrations of feces) are alternately arranged at approximately 90° intervals in the circumferential direction around the central axis of the display plate. Additionally, an image display unit is arranged in an area on the bottom side of the toilet bowl body that can be seen from above the toilet seat when the lid is open. The image display unit displays one of the multiple initial images and post-action images (four in total).

[0004] In this toilet toy, when the seating detection sensor detects that the doll is seated on the toilet seat, the control unit rotates the display plate using the drive motor, and the image displayed on the image display unit changes from the initial image to the post-operation image. Also, when the operation detection sensor detects the operation of the lever unit, the control unit rotates the display plate using the drive motor, and the image displayed on the image display unit changes from the post-operation image to the initial image. This provides an interesting way to play with the toy. [Prior art documents] [Patent documents]

[0005] [Patent Document 1] JP 2019-72366 A Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0006] This type of toilet toy had room for improvement in that it provided an interesting toy experience through mechanical gimmicks (so-called analog gimmicks) without using a drive motor, battery, sensor or control unit, i.e., without relying on electricity.

[0007] An object of the present invention is to provide a toilet toy that uses a mechanical gimmick to make playing with the toy very interesting. [Means for solving the problem]

[0008] In order to solve the above problems, the present invention provides the following means.

[0009] [First aspect of the present invention] a toy base having a toilet bowl, a display member disposed under the toilet bowl and rotatable about a first central axis extending in a vertical direction, a slide member supported on the toy base so as to be capable of linearly reciprocating in a predetermined direction perpendicular to the vertical direction, a slide biasing section which biases the slide member to one side in the predetermined direction, a standby means which moves the slide member to the other end of its range of movement in the predetermined direction against the biasing force of the slide biasing section and places it on standby, a release means which releases the standby state of the slide member caused by the standby means, and a cam mechanism which is provided between the slide member and the display member and converts the linear movement of the slide member in the predetermined direction into intermittent rotational movement of the display member about the first central axis. the toilet bowl has an opening window that opens into a bottom part of the toilet bowl, the display member has a plurality of display parts lined up around the first central axis, one of the plurality of display parts is arranged to overlap the opening window when viewed from above, and the cam mechanism switches the display part visible through the opening window by rotating the display member by a predetermined angle around the first central axis when the sliding member moves linearly to one side in the predetermined direction due to the biasing force of the slide biasing part, and switches the display part visible through the opening window by rotating the display member by a predetermined angle around the first central axis when the sliding member moves linearly to the other side in the predetermined direction by the waiting means.

[0010] In the toilet toy of the present invention, when a user such as a child, for example, places a doll or the like on the toilet seat (presses the doll against the toilet seat), the release means is activated, and the standby state of the slide member is released, whereby the slide member moves to one side in a predetermined direction due to the biasing force of the slide biasing part. At this time, the linear movement of the slide member to one side in the predetermined direction is converted by the cam mechanism into intermittent rotational movement of the display member about a first central axis, more specifically, into rotational movement of a predetermined angle about the first central axis. Due to this rotational movement of the display member, the display unit visible to the user through the opening window at the bottom of the toilet bowl is switched from, for example, an image of a whirlpool of water to another image of urine or feces.

[0011] Furthermore, when the user operates the waiting means by, for example, rotating a lever or the like, thereby moving the slide member to the other side in the predetermined direction, the linear movement of the slide member to the other side in the predetermined direction is converted by the cam mechanism into a rotational movement of the display member by a predetermined angle about the first central axis. This rotational movement of the display member switches the display unit visible to the user through the opening window of the toilet bowl from, for example, an image of urine or feces to another image of a swirling water flow.

[0012] In this way, the standby state of the sliding member by the standby means and the release of the standby state of the sliding member by the release means are alternately repeated by the user's operation. This allows the user to play by switching the display part visible through the opening window to another display part having a different pattern, etc.

[0013] According to the present invention, it is possible to provide an interesting toilet toy play by using a mechanical (mechanical) gimmick (so-called analog gimmick) without using electronic components such as a drive motor, battery, sensor, and control unit, i.e., without relying on electricity. Also, if the user is a small child (preschooler), the toilet toy of the present invention can be used for so-called toilet training for potty training.

[0014] [Aspect 2 of the present invention] a toilet seat to be placed on an upper opening of the toilet bowl; an arm connected to the sliding member, supported on the toy base so as to be rotatable about an arm axis, and rotating about the arm axis to linearly move the sliding member in the predetermined direction; and a lever supported on the toy base so as to be rotatable about a lever axis, wherein the arm has a locking portion that rotates about the arm axis, the toilet seat has a locked portion that locks with the locking portion, and the lever has a pressing portion that, when the lever rotates about the lever axis, presses the arm while rotating about the arm axis, thereby locking the locking portion with the locked portion, and the waiting means includes the lever, the arm, and the toilet seat as components.

[0015] In the above configuration, when a user operates the lever to rotate around the lever axis, the arm is pressed by the pressing part of the lever and rotates around the arm axis, and the sliding member moves to the other side in the predetermined direction in conjunction with the rotation of the arm. Then, the locking part of the arm is locked to the locked part of the toilet seat, so that the sliding member is maintained in a state where it is positioned at the other end of its movement range in the predetermined direction (standby state).

[0016] According to the above configuration, the slide member is put into a standby state by the simple operation of the user rotating the lever, which is easy to operate. In addition, in response to this operation, the cam mechanism switches the display displayed in the opening window at the bottom of the toilet bowl. The standby state of the slide member is then stably maintained until the standby state is next released by the release means.

[0017] [Embodiment 3 of the present invention] A toilet toy as described in aspect 2, further comprising a toilet seat biasing portion that biases the toilet seat upward, and the engagement between the locked portion and the locking portion is released by pushing the toilet seat downward against the biasing force of the toilet seat biasing portion, and the release means includes the toilet seat as a component.

[0018] In the above configuration, when a user pushes the toilet seat downward by, for example, having a doll or the like sit on the toilet seat, the locked state between the locked part and the locking part is released, whereby the sliding member is released from its standby state at the other end of its range of movement in the predetermined direction (standby state), and the sliding member moves to one side in the predetermined direction due to the biasing force of the slide biasing part.

[0019] According to the above-mentioned configuration, the user can easily release the waiting state of the sliding member by simply pushing the toilet seat downward. In addition, the cam mechanism switches the display displayed in the opening window at the bottom of the toilet bowl in response to this operation.

[0020] [Embodiment 4 of the present invention] The toilet toy of any one of aspects 1 to 3, wherein the cam mechanism has a first cam mechanism that converts the linear movement of the sliding member in the specified direction into a rotational movement about a second central axis parallel to the first central axis, and a second cam mechanism that converts the continuous rotational movement of the first cam mechanism about the second central axis into intermittent rotational movement about the first central axis.

[0021] In this case, the linear movement in a predetermined direction input from the slide member to the cam mechanism is converted by the first cam mechanism and the second cam mechanism into an intermittent rotational movement about the first central axis (specifically, a rotational movement of a predetermined angle about the first central axis), and can be stably output to the display member. The function of the cam mechanism described above is stably achieved by the first cam mechanism and the second cam mechanism.

[0022] [Embodiment 5 of the present invention] The first cam mechanism has a rotating cam that is disposed above the slide member and engages with the slide member and rotates about the second central axis as the slide member moves linearly in the predetermined direction, the rotating cam has a lower protrusion that protrudes downward from a lower surface of the rotating cam, the slide member has a guide groove into which the lower protrusion is inserted, the guide groove has a pair of pushing groove portions located on both sides of the second central axis in a direction perpendicular to the predetermined direction when the slide member is viewed from above and below, and a connecting groove portion that connects the pair of pushing groove portions, and the lower protrusion extends inside the guide groove from the front The toilet toy of aspect 4, wherein the sliding member moves across the pair of push groove portions and the connecting groove portion, and when the sliding member is positioned at one end of its range of movement in the predetermined direction, the protrusion center axis of the lower protrusion is arranged to overlap with a wall surface of one of the pair of push groove portions facing the other side in the predetermined direction, and when the sliding member is positioned at the other end of its range of movement in the predetermined direction, the protrusion center axis of the lower protrusion is arranged to overlap with a wall surface of the other of the pair of push groove portions facing one side in the predetermined direction.

[0023] In this case, the first cam mechanism rotates the rotating cam about the second central axis when the slide member moves linearly in the predetermined direction. In detail, when the slide member is moved from a state positioned at one end of its range of movement in a specified direction to the other side in the specified direction by the waiting means, the lower protrusion located in one push groove portion of the guide groove is pushed to the other side by the wall surface facing the other side in the specified direction of the one push groove portion, causing the rotating cam to rotate around the second central axis.

[0024] At this time, as viewed from a specified direction as in the above configuration, the protrusion center axis of the lower protrusion is positioned so as to overlap with the wall surface facing the other side of the specified direction of one of the pushing groove portions, so that the lower protrusion is stably pressed by the wall surface, thereby causing the rotating cam to rotate stably.

[0025] In addition, when the slide member is moved from a state (standby state) in which it is positioned at the other end of its movement range in a specified direction to one side in the specified direction by the release means, the lower protrusion located in the other push groove portion of the guide groove is pushed to one side by the wall surface facing one side in the specified direction of the other push groove portion, causing the rotating cam to rotate around the second central axis.

[0026] At this time, as viewed from a specified direction as in the above configuration, the protrusion center axis of the lower protrusion is positioned so as to overlap with the wall surface facing one side of the specified direction of the other pushing groove portion, so that the lower protrusion is stably pressed by the wall surface, thereby causing the rotating cam to rotate stably.

[0027] Thus, according to the above configuration, the rotating cam can be stably rotated about the second central axis both when the slide member moves to one side in the predetermined direction and when the slide member moves to the other side in the predetermined direction.

[0028] [Aspect 6 of the present invention] The first cam mechanism has a rotating cam that is disposed above the slide member and engages with the slide member and rotates about the second central axis as the slide member moves linearly in the predetermined direction, and the second cam mechanism has an upper protrusion that protrudes upward from an upper surface of the rotating cam, a convex arc wall that protrudes upward from the upper surface of the rotating cam and forms a convex arc shape centered on the second central axis, and a rotating base that is disposed below the display member and fixed to the display member and is rotatable about the first central axis, and the rotating base has a plurality of engagement grooves that extend radially from the first central axis and a plurality of engagement grooves that extend radially from the first central axis. and a plurality of concave arc walls each having a concave arc shape recessed inward in a first radial direction perpendicular to the first axis and each disposed between adjacent engagement grooves around the first central axis, wherein pairs of the convex arc wall and the concave arc wall, and pairs of the upper protrusion and the engagement groove alternately engage with each other as the rotating cam rotates, and while the convex arc wall and the concave arc wall are engaged, rotation of the rotating cam is not converted into rotation of the first central axis of the turntable, and while the upper protrusion and the engagement groove are engaged, rotation of the rotating cam is converted into rotation about the first central axis of the turntable.

[0029] In this case, the second cam mechanism is a so-called Geneva drive, which converts the continuous rotational movement of the rotating cam into intermittent rotational movement of the rotating table, so that the function of the cam mechanism described above is stably achieved.

[0030] [Seventh aspect of the present invention] A toilet toy as described in any one of aspects 1 to 6, wherein the slide member has a pair of slide grooves extending parallel to each other along the specified direction, the toy base has a plurality of slide guide pins inserted into each of the slide grooves, and the slide biasing portion is positioned between the pair of slide grooves.

[0031] In this case, the slide biasing portion that biases the slide member is disposed between a pair of slide grooves that guide the linear movement of the slide member, and therefore, when the slide member moves linearly due to the biasing force of the slide biasing portion or against this biasing force, a force that rotates the slide member is unlikely to be generated, making the linear movement of the slide member more stable.

[0032] [Embodiment 8 of the present invention] The toilet toy of aspect 7, wherein the toy base has a hook portion provided on a predetermined one of the plurality of slide guide pins and to which the slide biasing portion is hooked, and the hook portion is fixed in a non-rotating state relative to the predetermined slide guide pin.

[0033] In this case, a slide guide pin having a hook portion is inserted into a slide groove. Meanwhile, since the slide biasing portion is disposed between a pair of slide grooves, the portion of the hook portion that hooks the slide biasing portion is located between the pair of slide grooves. Therefore, a rotational force around the pin axis of the slide guide pin acts on the hook portion due to the biasing force of the slide biasing portion. According to the above-described configuration, the rotation of the hook portion with respect to the predetermined slide guide pin is restricted, so that the function of the slide biasing portion supported by this hook portion is well maintained.

[0034] [Embodiment 9 of the present invention] A toilet toy according to any one of the preceding aspects, comprising a roll body provided on an outer surface of the toy base.

[0035] In this case, the user can operate the roll of toilet paper after having the doll or the like sit on the toilet seat, allowing the doll or the like to play with the toilet paper in a simulated manner, providing a more entertaining toilet toy experience. Effect of the Invention

[0036] According to the toilet toy of the above aspect of the present invention, the mechanical gimmick allows the user to play with the toy in an entertaining manner. [Brief description of the drawings]

[0062] 6, the toilet seat 16 has an engaged portion 16a that protrudes downward from the rear end of the toilet seat 16. The engaged portion 16a is located below the upper exterior body 11 and behind the toilet bowl 14.

[0063] As shown in Figures 6 and 7, the toilet seat biasing part 17 is disposed between the toilet seat 16 and the upper exterior body 11 in the up-down direction. The toilet seat biasing part 17 is a compression coil spring or the like that is expandable and contractible in the up-down direction. The toilet seat biasing part 17 biases the toilet seat 16 upward relative to the upper exterior body 11. In this embodiment, multiple (three) toilet seat biasing parts 17 are provided at intervals from each other along the circumferential direction in which the annular toilet seat 16 extends. When the user pushes the toilet seat 16 downward against the biasing force of the toilet seat biasing portion 17, the toilet seat biasing portion 17 elastically deforms (contracts), and the toilet seat 16 can move downward.

[0064] As shown in Figures 1, 6 and 7, the lid body 15 is disposed on the upper side of the upper exterior body 11. The lid body 15 covers the toilet bowl 14 and the toilet seat 16 from above in an openable and closable manner. The lid body 15 is connected to the upper exterior body 11 via an opening / closing hinge (not shown) that is disposed at the rear end of the lid body 15. The lid body 15 is rotatable around the opening / closing hinge. Specifically, the lid body 15 is rotatable between a closed state in which the lid body 15 covers the toilet bowl 14 and the toilet seat 16 from above, and an open state in which the lid body 15 opens the toilet bowl 14 and the toilet seat 16 to the upper side.

[0065] 1 to 3, the roll body 18 is provided on the outer surface of the toy base body 1. In this embodiment, the roll body 18 is provided at the rear end part of the left side surface of the upper exterior body 11. The roll body 18 has a roll holder 18a attached to the toy base body 1, and a roll 18b supported by the roll holder 18a so as to be rotatable around a roll axis.

[0066] In this embodiment, the roll axis of the roll body 18 extends in the front-rear direction. The roll 18b has a columnar or cylindrical shape centered on the roll axis and extends in the front-rear direction. The roll 18b is given a shape, color, etc. that imitates toilet paper.

[0067] 2 and 6, the display member 2 is disposed below the toilet bowl 14 and above the interior support 13. The display member 2 is provided between the bottom wall of the toilet bowl 14 and the interior support 13 in the up-down direction.

[0068] 14, the display member 2 is in the form of a plate extending in a direction perpendicular to the first central axis C1, and in this embodiment, is in the form of a substantially circular plate centered on the first central axis C1. The display member 2 is rotatable in a first circumferential direction around the first central axis C1.

[0069] As shown in Figures 2 and 6, the display member 2 has a plurality of display portions 21 (21a, 21b) arranged on the upper surface of the display member 2 and aligned in the first circumferential direction, and a hole portion 22 recessed downward from the upper surface of the display member 2.

[0070] As shown in FIG. 2, the multiple display units 21 include a first display unit 21a consisting of a pattern or illustration that evokes, for example, a whirlpool of water, and a second display unit 21b consisting of a pattern or illustration that evokes, for example, urine or feces.

[0071] In this embodiment, four display units 21 are provided at equal intervals in the first circumferential direction around the first central axis C1. That is, the four display units 21 are arranged at 90° intervals around the first central axis C1. Specifically, two of the four display units 21 are first display units 21a, and the other two are second display units 21b.

[0072] The two first display parts 21a have a common illustration or the like (both of them are an image of a whirlpool of water, etc.). The two second display parts 21b have different illustrations or the like (one is an image of urine, etc., and the other is an image of feces, etc.). The first display parts 21a and the second display parts 21b are alternately arranged along the first circumferential direction.

[0073] One of the multiple (four) display units 21 is disposed so as to overlap with the opening window 14a when viewed from above. The one display unit 21 is visible to the user through the opening window 14a and the transparent window cover 14b.

[0074] 6, the hole 22 extends in the vertical direction about the first central axis C1 and has a bottom that opens upward. Specifically, the hole 22 has a circular hole shape. The support shaft 14c is inserted into the hole 22 from above.

[0075] As shown in Figures 4 to 11, the slide member 3 is disposed inside the lower exterior body 12. The slide member 3 is supported by the toy base body 1 so as to be able to move linearly back and forth in a predetermined direction perpendicular to the up-down direction. Specifically, the slide member 3 is disposed below the interior support body 13, and is supported by the interior support body 13 via a plurality of slide guide pins 13a and the like.

[0076] In this embodiment, the predetermined direction corresponds to the front-rear direction. One side of the predetermined direction corresponds to the front side (-Y side), and the other side of the predetermined direction corresponds to the rear side (+Y side). In this embodiment, the slide member 3 moves linearly back and forth between the front end (end on one side) and the rear end (end on the other side) within its movement range in the front-rear direction (predetermined direction). Note that Figures 4 to 7 show the slide member 3 in a state where it is positioned at the rear end of its forward / rearward movement range (the slide member 3 in a standby state), and Figures 8 to 11 show the slide member 3 in a state where it is positioned at the front end of its forward / rearward movement range (the slide member 3 in a state where the standby state has been released).

[0077] The slide member 3 has a plate shape extending in a direction perpendicular to the up-down direction. In this embodiment, the slide member 3 has a substantially polygonal plate shape, more specifically, a substantially rectangular plate shape extending in the front-rear direction.

[0078] The slide member 3 has a pair of slide grooves 31 , a guide groove 32 , and a hook protrusion 33 . The pair of slide grooves 31 extend parallel to each other in the front-rear direction (predetermined direction). The pair of slide grooves 31 are disposed at an interval from each other in the left-right direction. Each slide groove 31 penetrates the slide member 3 in the up-down direction.

[0079] One of the pair of slide grooves 31 is located on the first central axis C1 in the left-right direction. Two slide guide pins 13a including a predetermined slide guide pin 13aa are inserted into the one slide groove 31. The other of the pair of slide grooves 31 is disposed to the right (+X side) of the first central axis C1 in the left-right direction. One slide guide pin 13a is inserted into the other one slide groove 31. In this way, the multiple slide guide pins 13a are inserted into the respective slide grooves 31 to guide the linear movement of the slide member 3 in the front-rear direction.

[0080] The dimension of the other one of the slide grooves 31 in the front-rear direction is shorter than the dimension of the one of the slide grooves 31 in the front-rear direction. Therefore, the other one of the slide grooves 31 may be called a short slide groove 31, and the one of the slide grooves 31 may be called a long slide groove 31. The front end of the short slide groove 31 is located rearward of the front end of the long slide groove 31.

[0081] The guide groove 32 penetrates the slide member 3 in the up-down direction. The guide groove 32 is disposed to the right (+X side) of the long slide groove 31 and in front (-Y side) of the short slide groove 31. The guide groove 32 extends substantially in the left-right direction.

[0082] The guide groove 32 has a pair of pressing groove portions 32a and a connecting groove portion 32b. 5 and 9, when the slide member 3 is viewed from the top-bottom direction, the pair of pressing groove portions 32a are located on both sides of the second central axis C2 in a direction perpendicular to the predetermined direction (left-right direction in this embodiment). Specifically, of the pair of pressing groove portions 32a, one pressing groove portion 32aa is located on the right side (+X side) of the second central axis C2, and the other pressing groove portion 32ab is located on the left side (-X side) of the second central axis C2.

[0083] The pair of pressing grooves 32a each extend in the left-right direction. The pair of pressing grooves 32a are arranged so that their positions in the front-rear direction are shifted from each other. Specifically, one pressing groove 32aa is arranged rearward of the other pressing groove 32ab.

[0084] The connecting groove 32b is disposed between a pair of the pressing grooves 32a and connects the pair of pressing grooves 32a. The connecting groove 32b extends toward the rear side (+Y side) as it moves toward the right side (+X side). That is, the connecting groove 32b extends at an angle with respect to the front-rear direction and the left-right direction. In this embodiment, the groove width dimension of the connecting groove 32b is smaller than the groove width dimension of each pressing groove 32a.

[0085] The hook protrusion 33 protrudes downward from the lower surface of the slide member 3. The hook protrusion 33 is disposed at the rear end portion of the slide member 3. The hook protrusion 33 is disposed between the pair of slide grooves 31 in the left-right direction.

[0086] The slide biasing portion 4 biases the slide member 3 to one side of a predetermined direction. In this embodiment, the slide biasing portion 4 biases the slide member 3 toward the front side. The slide biasing portion 4 is a tension coil spring or the like, and extends in the front-rear direction. The front end portion of the slide biasing portion 4 is hooked and engaged with the hook piece 13ba of the hook portion 13b. The rear end portion of the slide biasing portion 4 is hooked and engaged with the hook protrusion 33. The slide biasing portion 4 is disposed between a pair of slide grooves 31 in the left-right direction.

[0087] 4, 6, 8 and 10, the arm 7 is connected to the slide member 3 and supported by the toy base 1 so as to be rotatable around the arm axis A1. Specifically, the lower end of the arm 7 is connected to the rear end of the slide member 3. The arm 7 is also rotatably supported by the interior support 13 via the arm axis A1 extending in the left-right direction. The arm 7 rotates around the arm axis A1 to linearly move the slide member 3 in a predetermined direction (the front-rear direction in this embodiment).

[0088] The arm 7 has a locking portion 7a that rotates around an arm axis A1. The locking portion 7a is claw-shaped and is disposed at the upper end of the arm 7. A locked portion 16a of the toilet seat 16 is detachably locked to the locking portion 7a.

[0089] The lever 8 is supported on the toy base 1 so as to be rotatable around the lever axis A2. The lever 8 extends in the left-right direction around the lever axis A2 which also extends in the left-right direction. The lever 8 is disposed at the rear end of the toy base 1. The lever 8 is supported by being sandwiched between the upper exterior body 11 and the lower exterior body 12 in the up-down direction.

[0090] The lever 8 has an operating portion 8a and a pressing portion 8b. The operating part 8a is provided on the outer surface of the toy base body 1. In this embodiment, the operating part 8a is provided at the rear end of the right side surface of the toy base body 1. The operating part 8a is disposed at the right end of the lever 8. The portion of the lever 8 other than the operating part 8a (main body shaft part) is disposed inside the toy base body 1.

[0091] The pressing portion 8b protrudes from the main shaft portion of the lever 8 in a radial direction perpendicular to the lever axis A2. The pressing portion 8b is in the shape of a curved plate, and extends forward as it extends downward from the main shaft portion. The tip of the pressing portion 8b contacts the rear side of a portion of the arm 7 that is located above the arm axis A1.

[0092] As shown in Figures 6 and 10, when the user operates the operating portion 8a to rotate the lever 8 around the lever axis A2, the pressing portion 8b presses the arm 7 and rotates it around the arm axis A1, thereby engaging the locking portion 7a with the locked portion 16a. Furthermore, when the user pushes the toilet seat 16 downward against the biasing force of the toilet seat biasing portion 17, the engagement between the locked portion 16a and the locking portion 7a is released.

[0093] The standby means 5 moves the slide member 3 to the other end of its range of movement in a predetermined direction against the biasing force of the slide biasing portion 4, and keeps it on standby. In this embodiment, the standby means 5 moves the slide member 3 to the rear end of its range of movement in the front-rear direction, and keeps it on standby, against the biasing force of the slide biasing portion 4. The standby means 5 includes the above-mentioned lever 8, arm 7, and toilet seat 16 as components.

[0094] The release means 6 releases the standby state of the slide member 3 placed by the standby means 5. The release means 6 includes the above-mentioned toilet seat 16 as a component.

[0095] 2 and 4 to 11, the cam mechanism 9 is provided between the slide member 3 and the display member 2, and converts linear movement of the slide member 3 in a predetermined direction into intermittent rotational movement about the first central axis C1 of the display member 2. In this embodiment, the cam mechanism 9 converts linear movement of the slide member 3 in the front-rear direction (Y-axis direction) into intermittent rotational movement of the display member 2 to one side (+θ1 side) in the first circumferential direction.

[0096] The cam mechanism 9 switches the display section 21 visible through the opening window 14a by rotating the display member 2 by a predetermined angle (90° in this embodiment) around the first central axis C1 when the slide member 3 moves linearly to one side in the predetermined direction (the front side in this embodiment) due to the biasing force of the slide biasing portion 4. Also, when the slide member 3 moves linearly to the other side in the predetermined direction (the rear side in this embodiment) by the waiting means 5, the cam mechanism 9 switches the display section 21 visible through the opening window 14a by rotating the display member 2 by a predetermined angle (90° in this embodiment) around the first central axis C1.

[0097] The structure of the cam mechanism 9 of this embodiment will be described in detail below. The cam mechanism 9 has a first cam mechanism 91 that converts the linear movement of the slide member 3 in a predetermined direction (the front-to-rear direction in this embodiment) into rotational movement around the second central axis C2, and a second cam mechanism 92 that converts the continuous rotational movement of the first cam mechanism 91 around the second central axis C2 into intermittent rotational movement around the first central axis C1.

[0098] The first cam mechanism 91 is disposed above the slide member 3 and engages with the slide member 3, and has a rotating cam 94 that rotates around the second central axis C2 as the slide member 3 moves linearly in a predetermined direction (the front-to-rear direction in this embodiment).

[0099] As shown in Fig. 12 and Fig. 13, the rotating cam 94 is disk-shaped and centered on the second central axis C2. Although not shown in Fig. 12 and Fig. 13, the rotating cam 94 has a cam shaft 96 that extends in the vertical direction centered on the second central axis C2 (see Fig. 7). As shown in Fig. 7, the cam shaft 96 is inserted into the rotating cam support hole 13d of the interior support 13 from below. This allows the rotating cam 94 to be attached to the interior support 13 so as to be rotatable in the second circumferential direction. The rotating cam 94 is supported from below by the slide member 3.

[0100] 13, the rotating cam 94 has a lower protrusion 94a that protrudes downward from the lower surface of the rotating cam 94. The lower protrusion 94a is disposed at a position on the lower surface of the rotating cam 94 that is spaced outward in the second radial direction from the second central axis C2. The lower protrusion 94a has a cylindrical shape that extends in the up-down direction.

[0101] 5 and 9, the lower protrusion 94a is inserted into the guide groove 32 of the slide member 3. The lower protrusion 94a engages with the guide groove 32, and moves inside the guide groove 32 across the pair of pushing groove portions 32a and the connecting groove portion 32b as the slide member 3 moves linearly in the front-rear direction. The movement of the lower protrusion 94a also causes the rotating cam 94 to rotate around the second central axis C2. It may be said that the first cam mechanism 91 further has a guide groove 32.

[0102] 5, when the slide member 3 is disposed at the other end (rear end) of the movement range in the predetermined direction (front-rear direction), the protrusion central axis (not shown) of the lower protrusion 94a is disposed to overlap with the wall surface 32d facing one side (front side) in the predetermined direction of the other of the pair of pushing grooves 32a, the pushing groove 32ab, as viewed from the predetermined direction. In this embodiment, the wall surface 32d extends linearly along the left-right direction.

[0103] Here, with reference to Figures 15(a) to 23(a) (representing (a) in each figure, the same applies below), the action of the first cam mechanism 91 will be described. Figures 15(a) to 23(a) each show a top view of the first cam mechanism 91 as seen from above (+Z side), and specifically show a top view of the slide member 3 and the rotating cam 94.

[0104] 15(a) shows a state in which the sliding member 3 is disposed at the rear end of its range of movement in the front-rear direction, and Fig. 23(a) shows a state in which the sliding member 3 is disposed at the front end of its range of movement in the front-rear direction. Fig. 16(a) to Fig. 22(a) show stepwise states (transition states) in the middle of the movement of the sliding member 3 from a state in which it is disposed at the rear end of its range of movement in the front-rear direction to a state in which it is disposed at the front end.

[0105] 15(a), the rotational position of the rotating cam 94 about the second central axis C2 when the slide member 3 starts to move forward from the rear end of the moving range is set as the reference angle (0°). When the slide member 3 starts to move forward, the wall surface 32d facing the front side of the other pushing groove portion 32ab of the guide groove 32 comes into contact with the lower protrusion 94a from the rear side.

[0106] 16(a) to 20(a), when the slide member 3 moves forward, the lower protrusion 94a pushed by the wall surface 32d reciprocates in the left-right direction in the other pushing groove portion 32ab while moving forward. Then, the rotating cam 94 rotates toward the other side (-θ2 side) in the second circumferential direction by 22.5° (FIG. 16(a)), 45° (FIG. 17(a)), 67.5° (FIG. 18(a)), 90° (FIG. 19(a)), and 112.5° (FIG. 20(a)) with respect to the reference angle.

[0107] When the slide member 3 moves further toward the front, as shown in Figures 21(a) and 22(a), the lower protrusion 94a enters the connecting groove portion 32b from the other pushing groove portion 32ab, and the rotating cam 94 further rotates to 135° (Figure 21(a)) and 157.5° (Figure 22(a)) relative to the reference angle.

[0108] Then, when the slide member 3 is positioned at the front end of the moving range, as shown in Figure 23(a), the lower protrusion 94a enters one of the pushing groove portions 32aa from the connecting groove portion 32b, and the rotating cam 94 is rotated 180° relative to the reference angle. That is, in this embodiment, when the slide member 3 moves linearly from the rear end to the front end of the movement range, the first cam mechanism 91 operates to cause the rotating cam 94 to continuously rotate 180° around the second central axis C2.

[0109] 9, when the slide member 3 is disposed at one end (front end) of the movement range in a predetermined direction (front-rear direction), the protrusion central axis (not shown) of the lower protrusion 94a is disposed to overlap with the wall surface 32c facing the other side (rear side) in the predetermined direction of one of the pair of pushing grooves 32aa, as viewed from the predetermined direction. In this embodiment, the wall surface 32c extends linearly in the left-right direction.

[0110] 24 is a top view showing the movement locus of the lower protrusion 94a in the guide groove 32 when the slide member 3 moves from a state in which it is disposed at the front end to a state in which it is disposed at the rear end in the movement range in the front-rear direction. When the slide member 3 moves linearly from the front end to the rear end in the movement range, the lower protrusion 94a moves from one pushing groove portion 32aa to the connecting groove portion 32b while being pushed rearward by the wall surface 32c, and further moves from the connecting groove portion 32b to the other pushing groove portion 32ab. In accordance with this, the rotating cam 94 continuously rotates and moves 180° toward the other side (-θ2 side) in the second circumferential direction. As a result, the rotating cam 94 is returned to the reference angle (0°).

[0111] In this embodiment, when the slide member 3 moves linearly forward and when it moves linearly backward, the direction in which the rotating cam 94 rotates around the second central axis C2 is the same (in both cases, it rotates toward the other side in the second circumferential direction).

[0112] As shown in Figures 12 and 14, the second cam mechanism 92 has an upper protrusion 94b protruding upward from the upper surface of the rotating cam 94, a convex arc wall 94c protruding upward from the upper surface of the rotating cam 94 and forming a convex arc shape centered on the second central axis C2, and a rotating table 95 arranged below the display member 2 and fixed to the display member 2, and rotatable around the first central axis C1.

[0113] As shown in Fig. 12, the upper protrusion 94b is disposed on the outer periphery of the upper surface of the rotating cam 94. The upper protrusion 94b has a cylindrical shape extending in the up-down direction. A plurality of upper protrusions 94b are provided around the second central axis C2 at intervals from each other. The plurality of upper protrusions 94b are disposed at equal pitches in the second circumferential direction.

[0114] In this embodiment, two upper protrusions 94b are provided at positions that are rotationally symmetrical with each other by 180° about the second central axis C2. The two upper protrusions 94b include a first upper protrusion 94ba and a second upper protrusion 94bb that has a smaller diameter than the first upper protrusion 94ba.

[0115] The convex arc wall 94c is a curved convex curved wall surface that bulges outward in the second radial direction, and extends in a convex arc shape along the second circumferential direction when viewed from the up-down direction (upper side). The convex arc wall 94c is located more inward than the upper protrusion 94b in the second radial direction. A plurality of convex arc walls 94c are provided around the second center axis C2 at intervals. The plurality of convex arc walls 94c are arranged at equal pitches in the second circumferential direction.

[0116] In this embodiment, two convex arc walls 94c are provided at positions that are rotationally symmetrical with respect to each other by 180° about the second central axis C2. The two convex arc walls 94c and the two upper protrusions 94b are alternately arranged around the second central axis C2 at equal pitches (90° pitches).

[0117] As shown in Fig. 6, the rotating base 95 is fixed to the display member 2 by screws etc. As shown in Fig. 14, the rotating base 95 has a bottomed cylindrical shape centered on the first central axis C1. The rotating table 95 has a polygonal cylindrical shape, for example a rectangular cylindrical shape, and has a peripheral wall extending in the vertical direction around the first central axis C1, a disk-shaped bottom wall extending in a direction perpendicular to the first central axis C1, a shaft portion 95a protruding downward from the bottom wall, a plurality of engagement grooves 95b provided on the underside of the bottom wall and extending radially around the first central axis C1, and a plurality of concave arc walls 95c each having a concave arc shape recessed inward in the first radial direction and arranged between adjacent engagement grooves 95b around the first central axis C1.

[0118] The shaft portion 95a has a cylindrical shape centered on the first central axis C1. As shown in Fig. 6, the shaft portion 95a is inserted from above into the turntable support hole 13c of the interior support 13. This allows the turntable 95 to be attached to the interior support 13 so as to be rotatable in the first circumferential direction. In addition, the turntable 95 and the display member 2 are supported from below by the interior support 13.

[0119] As shown in Fig. 14, the multiple engagement grooves 95b each extend along the first radial direction. Each engagement groove 95b opens downward. The outer end of each engagement groove 95b in the first radial direction opens outward in the first radial direction. The multiple engagement grooves 95b are arranged at equal pitches in the first circumferential direction.

[0120] In this embodiment, four engagement grooves 95b are provided at positions that are rotationally symmetrical with respect to each other by 90° about the first center axis C1. The four engagement grooves 95b include two first engagement grooves 95ba and two second engagement grooves 95bb that have a groove width dimension smaller than that of the first engagement grooves 95ba. The two first engagement grooves 95ba and the two second engagement grooves 95bb are alternately arranged along the first circumferential direction.

[0121] The engagement groove 95b and the upper protrusion 94b of the rotating cam 94 can engage with each other as the rotating cam 94 rotates (see Figs. 18(b) to 20(b)). When the rotating cam 94 rotates about the second central axis C2 with the engagement groove 95b and the upper protrusion 94b engaged, the rotating table 95 is driven to rotate about the first central axis C1. When the rotating cam 94 rotates to the other side in the second circumferential direction (-θ2 side), the rotating table 95 rotates to one side in the first circumferential direction (+θ1 side).

[0122] Specifically, the first engagement groove 95ba and the first upper protrusion 94ba of the rotating cam 94 are engageable with each other. Also, the second engagement groove 95bb and the second upper protrusion 94bb of the rotating cam 94 are engageable with each other.

[0123] The groove width dimension of the second engagement groove 95bb is smaller than the diameter dimension of the first upper projection 94ba of the rotating cam 94. Therefore, the second engagement groove 95bb and the first upper projection 94ba cannot engage with each other. This prevents incorrect assembly of the second cam mechanism 92 during toy manufacturing, etc.

[0124] The concave arc wall 95c is a curved wall surface recessed inward in the first radial direction, and extends in a concave arc shape when viewed from the up-down direction (lower side). Both ends of the concave arc wall 95c in the first circumferential direction are connected to the outer ends of the engagement groove 95b in the first radial direction. A plurality of concave arc walls 95c are provided around the first center axis C1 at intervals from each other. The plurality of concave arc walls 95c are arranged at equal pitches in the first circumferential direction.

[0125] In this embodiment, four recessed arc walls 95c are provided at positions that are rotationally symmetrical with respect to one another by 90° about the first central axis C1. The four recessed arc walls 95c and the four engagement grooves 95b are alternately disposed around the first central axis C1.

[0126] The concave arc wall 95c and the convex arc wall 94c of the rotating cam 94 can engage with each other as the rotating cam 94 rotates (see Figs. 15(b) to 17(b)). With the concave arc wall 95c and the convex arc wall 94c engaged with each other, the rotating cam 94 can rotate around the second central axis C2, while the rotation of the rotating base 95 around the first central axis C1 is restricted.

[0127] Here, the operation of the second cam mechanism 92 will be described with reference to Figures 15(b) to 23(b) (representing (b) in each figure, and the same applies below). Figures 15(b) to 23(b) each show a top view of the second cam mechanism 92 as seen from above (the +Z side), and specifically show the rotating cam 94 and the rotating table 95.

[0128] 15 to 23, (a) and (b) of each figure show the same rotational position of the rotating cam 94 around the second central axis C2. Similarly, (a) and (b) of each figure show the same position of the slide member 3 in a predetermined direction (front-rear direction).

[0129] As shown in Figures 15(b) to 17(b), when the convex arc wall 94c of the rotating cam 94 and the concave arc wall 95c of the rotating table 95 are engaged, even if the rotating cam 94 rotates to the other side (-θ2 side) in the second circumferential direction and the rotational position of the rotating cam 94 about the second central axis C2 changes from the reference angle (0°), the rotational movement of the rotating table 95 about the first central axis C1 is restricted, and the rotational position of the rotating table 95 does not change from 0°.

[0130] As shown in Figures 18(b) to 20(b), when the engagement between the convex arc wall 94c of the rotating cam 94 and the concave arc wall 95c of the rotating table 95 is released and the upper protrusion 94b of the rotating cam 94 is engaged with the engagement groove 95b of the rotating table 95, the rotating cam 94 rotates toward the other side (-θ2 side) in the second circumferential direction, and as the rotational position of the rotating cam 94 about the second central axis C2 changes, the rotating table 95 rotates toward one side (+θ1 side) in the first circumferential direction, and the rotational position of the rotating table 95 about the first central axis C1 changes.

[0131] As shown in Figures 21(b) to 23(b), when the upper protrusion 94b of the rotating cam 94 is disengaged from the engagement groove 95b of the rotating table 95 and the convex arc wall 94c of the rotating cam 94 is engaged with the concave arc wall 95c of the rotating table 95, the rotating cam 94 rotates to the other side (-θ2 side) in the second circumferential direction. Even if the rotational position of the rotating cam 94 about the second central axis C2 changes, the rotational movement of the rotating table 95 about the first central axis C1 is restricted and the rotational position of the rotating table 95 does not change.

[0132] Thus, in this embodiment, the pair of convex arc wall 94c and concave arc wall 95c, and the pair of upper protrusion 94b and engagement groove 95b alternately engage as the rotating cam 94 rotates, and while the convex arc wall 94c and the concave arc wall 95c are engaged, the rotation of the rotating cam 94 is not converted into rotation about the first central axis C1 of the rotating table 95, and while the upper protrusion 94b and the engagement groove 95b are engaged, the rotation of the rotating cam 94 is converted into rotation about the first central axis C1 of the rotating table 95.

[0133] In this embodiment, when the slide member 3 moves linearly from the rear end to the front end of the movement range, the action of the first cam mechanism 91 causes the rotating cam 94 to rotate continuously 180 degrees around the second central axis C2, and further, the action of the second cam mechanism 92 causes the rotating base 95 and the display member 2 fixed thereto to rotate intermittently 90 degrees (a predetermined angle) around the first central axis C1.

[0134] In the toilet toy 10 of the present embodiment described above, when a user such as a child, for example, places a doll or the like on the toilet seat 16 (presses the doll against the toilet seat 16), the release means 6 is activated, and the standby state of the slide member 3 is released, whereby the slide member 3 moves to one side (front side) in a predetermined direction due to the biasing force of the slide biasing part 4. At this time, the linear movement of the slide member 3 to one side in the predetermined direction is converted by the cam mechanism 9 into an intermittent rotational movement of the display member 2 about the first central axis C1, more specifically, into a rotational movement of a predetermined angle about the first central axis C1. Due to this rotational movement of the display member 2, the display unit 21 visible to the user through the opening window 14a at the bottom of the toilet bowl 14 is switched from, for example, an image of a whirlpool of water (first display unit 21a) to another image of urine or feces (second display unit 21b).

[0135] Furthermore, when the user rotates the lever 8, the standby means 5 is operated, thereby moving the slide member 3 to the other side (rear) in the predetermined direction, and the linear movement of the slide member 3 to the other side in the predetermined direction is converted by the cam mechanism 9 into a rotational movement of the display member 2 by a predetermined angle about the first central axis C1. This rotational movement of the display member 2 switches the display unit 21 visible to the user through the opening window 14a of the toilet bowl 14 from, for example, an image of urine or feces (second display unit 21b) to another image of a whirlpool of water (first display unit 21a).

[0136] In this way, the standby state of the sliding member 3 by the standby means 5 and the release of the standby state of the sliding member 3 by the release means 6 are alternately repeated by the user's operation. This allows the user to play by switching the display unit 21 visible through the opening window 14a to another display unit 21 having a different pattern or the like from the display unit 21.

[0137] According to this embodiment, an interesting toilet toy play can be provided by using a mechanical (mechanical) gimmick (so-called analog gimmick) without using electronic components such as a drive motor, battery, sensor, and control unit, i.e., without relying on electricity. Also, if the user is an infant (preschooler), so-called toilet training for potty training can be performed by using the toilet toy 10 of this embodiment.

[0138] In addition, the toilet toy 10 of this embodiment includes a toilet seat 16 placed on the upper opening of the toilet bowl 14, an arm 7 connected to the slide member 3 and supported on the toy base 1 so as to be rotatable about the arm axis A1, and which moves the slide member 3 linearly in a predetermined direction (front-rear direction) by rotating about the arm axis A1, and a lever 8 supported on the toy base 1 so as to be rotatable about the lever axis A2, wherein the arm 7 has a locking portion 7a that rotates about the arm axis A1, the toilet seat 16 has an engaged portion 16a that engages with the locking portion 7a, and the lever 8 has a pressing portion 8b that, when the lever 8 rotates about the lever axis A2, presses the arm 7 and rotates it about the arm axis A1, thereby engaging the locking portion 7a with the engaged portion 16a, and the waiting means 5 includes the lever 8, the arm 7, and the toilet seat 16 as components.

[0139] In the above configuration, when a user operates to rotate the lever 8 around the lever axis A2, the arm 7 is pressed by the pressing portion 8b of the lever 8 and rotates around the arm axis A1, and the sliding member 3 moves to the other side (rear side) in the predetermined direction in conjunction with the rotation of the arm 7. Then, the locking portion 7a of the arm 7 is locked to the locked portion 16a of the toilet seat 16, so that the sliding member 3 is maintained in a state disposed at the other end (rear end) of its range of movement in the predetermined direction (standby state).

[0140] According to the above configuration, the slide member 3 is put into a standby state by the simple operation of the user rotating the lever 8, which provides good operability. In addition, in conjunction with this operation, the cam mechanism 9 switches the display unit 21 displayed in the opening window 14a at the bottom of the toilet bowl 14. Then, until the next time this standby state is released by the release means 6, the standby state of the slide member 3 is stably maintained.

[0141] In addition, the toilet toy 10 of this embodiment is equipped with a toilet seat biasing part 17 that biases the toilet seat 16 upward, and by pushing the toilet seat 16 downward against the biasing force of the toilet seat biasing part 17, the engagement between the locked part 16a and the locking part 7a is released, and the release means 6 includes the toilet seat 16 as a component.

[0142] In the above configuration, when a user pushes the toilet seat 16 downward by, for example, having a doll or the like sit on the toilet seat 16, the locked state between the locked part 16a and the locking part 7a is released. This releases the state (standby state) in which the sliding member 3 is on standby at the other end (rear end) of the range of movement in the predetermined direction, and the biasing force of the slide biasing part 4 moves the sliding member 3 to one side (front side) in the predetermined direction.

[0143] According to the above-mentioned configuration, the user can easily release the waiting state of the slide member 3 by simply pushing the toilet seat 16 downward. In addition, in response to this operation, the cam mechanism 9 switches the display unit 21 displayed in the opening window 14a at the bottom of the toilet bowl 14.

[0144] In addition, in this embodiment, the cam mechanism 9 has a first cam mechanism 91 that converts the linear movement of the slide member 3 in a predetermined direction (front-to-back direction) into a rotational movement about a second central axis C2 parallel to the first central axis C1, and a second cam mechanism 92 that converts the continuous rotational movement of the first cam mechanism 91 about the second central axis C2 into intermittent rotational movement about the first central axis C1.

[0145] In this case, the linear movement in a predetermined direction input from the slide member 3 to the cam mechanism 9 is converted by the first cam mechanism 91 and the second cam mechanism 92 into an intermittent rotational movement about the first central axis C1 (specifically, a rotational movement of a predetermined angle about the first central axis C1), and can be stably output to the display member 2. The function of the cam mechanism 9 described above is stably achieved by the first cam mechanism 91 and the second cam mechanism 92.

[0146] In this embodiment, the first cam mechanism 91 has a rotating cam 94 that is disposed above the slide member 3 and engages with the slide member 3, and rotates about the second central axis C2 as the slide member 3 moves linearly in a predetermined direction (front-rear direction), the rotating cam 94 has a lower protrusion 94a that protrudes downward from the lower surface of the rotating cam 94, the slide member 3 has a guide groove 32 into which the lower protrusion 94a is inserted, and the guide groove 32 has a pair of pushing groove portions 32a located on both sides of the second central axis C2 in a direction (left-right direction) perpendicular to the predetermined direction when the slide member 3 is viewed from the top-bottom direction, and a connecting groove portion 32b that connects the pair of pushing groove portions 32a, When the slide member 3 moves inside the guide groove 32 across the pair of push groove portions 32a and the connecting groove portion 32b and is positioned at one end (front end) of its movement range in a predetermined direction, the protrusion center axis of the lower protrusion 94a is arranged to overlap with the wall surface 32c facing the other side (rear side) of one of the pair of push groove portions 32aa in the predetermined direction, when viewed from the predetermined direction, and when the slide member 3 is positioned at the other end (rear end) of its movement range in the predetermined direction, the protrusion center axis of the lower protrusion 94a is arranged to overlap with the wall surface 32d facing one side (front side) of the other of the pair of push groove portions 32aa in the predetermined direction.

[0147] In this case, the first cam mechanism 91 rotates the rotating cam 94 about the second central axis C2 when the slide member 3 moves linearly in a predetermined direction. In detail, when the slide member 3 is moved from a state in which it is positioned at one end of its moving range in a predetermined direction to the other side in the predetermined direction by the waiting means 5, the lower protrusion 94a located in one push groove portion 32aa of the guide groove 32 is pushed to the other side by the wall surface 32c facing the other side in the predetermined direction of the one push groove portion 32aa, causing the rotating cam 94 to rotate around the second central axis C2.

[0148] At this time, as viewed from a specified direction as in the above configuration, the protrusion center axis of the lower protrusion 94a is positioned so as to overlap with the wall surface 32c facing the other side of the specified direction of one of the pushing groove portions 32aa, so that the lower protrusion 94a is stably pressed by the wall surface 32c, thereby causing the rotating cam 94 to rotate stably.

[0149] In addition, when the slide member 3 is moved by the release means 6 from a state (standby state) in which it is positioned at the other end of its moving range in the specified direction to one side in the specified direction, the lower protrusion 94a located in the other push groove portion 32ab of the guide groove 32 is pushed to one side by the wall surface 32d facing one side in the specified direction of the other push groove portion 32ab, causing the rotating cam 94 to rotate around the second central axis C2.

[0150] At this time, as viewed from a specified direction as in the above configuration, the protrusion center axis of the lower protrusion 94a is positioned so as to overlap with the wall surface 32d facing one side of the other pushing groove portion 32ab in the specified direction, so that the lower protrusion 94a is stably pressed by the wall surface 32d, thereby causing the rotating cam 94 to rotate stably.

[0151] Thus, according to the above configuration, the rotating cam 94 can be stably rotated around the second central axis C2 when the slide member 3 moves to one side in the specified direction and when it moves to the other side in the specified direction.

[0152] In this embodiment, the second cam mechanism 92 has an upper protrusion 94b protruding upward from the upper surface of the rotating cam 94, a convex arc wall 94c protruding upward from the upper surface of the rotating cam 94 and forming a convex arc shape centered on the second central axis C2, and a rotating base 95 disposed below the display member 2 and fixed to the display member 2 and rotatable around the first central axis C1, and the rotating base 95 has a plurality of engagement grooves 95b extending radially from the first central axis C1 as a center, and a concave arc shape recessed inward in a first radial direction perpendicular to the first central axis C1, and a concave arc wall 94c protruding upward from the upper surface of the rotating cam 94 and forming a concave arc shape recessed inward in a first radial direction perpendicular to the first central axis C1. The rotating cam 94 has a plurality of concave arc walls 95c each disposed between adjacent engagement grooves 95b, and the pair of the convex arc wall 94c and the concave arc wall 95c, and the pair of the upper protrusion 94b and the engagement groove 95b alternately engage with each other as the rotating cam 94 rotates, and while the convex arc wall 94c and the concave arc wall 95c are engaged, the rotation of the rotating cam 94 is not converted into rotation about the first central axis C1 of the rotating table 95, but while the upper protrusion 94b and the engagement groove 95b are engaged, the rotation of the rotating cam 94 is converted into rotation about the first central axis C1 of the rotating table 95.

[0153] In this case, the second cam mechanism 92 is a so-called Geneva drive, and converts the continuous rotational movement of the rotating cam 94 into the intermittent rotational movement of the rotating table 95. Therefore, the function of the cam mechanism 9 described above is stably achieved.

[0154] In this embodiment, the slide member 3 has a pair of slide grooves 31 extending parallel to each other along a predetermined direction (front-to-back direction), the toy base 1 has a plurality of slide guide pins 13a inserted into each slide groove 31, and the slide biasing portion 4 is positioned between the pair of slide grooves 31.

[0155] In this case, the slide biasing portion 4 that biases the slide member 3 is disposed between a pair of slide grooves 31 that guide the linear movement of the slide member 3. Therefore, when the slide member 3 moves linearly due to the biasing force of the slide biasing portion 4 or against this biasing force, a force that rotates the slide member 3 is unlikely to be generated, and the linear movement of the slide member 3 becomes more stable.

[0156] In addition, in this embodiment, the toy base 1 has a hook portion 13b provided on a predetermined slide guide pin 13aa among the multiple slide guide pins 13a, to which the slide biasing portion 4 is hooked, and the hook portion 13b is fixed in a non-rotating state relative to the predetermined slide guide pin 13aa.

[0157] In this case, a predetermined slide guide pin 13aa on which the hook portion 13b is provided is inserted into the slide groove 31. Meanwhile, since the slide biasing portion 4 is disposed between a pair of slide grooves 31, the portion of the hook portion 13b that hooks the slide biasing portion 4 (hook piece 13ba) is located between the pair of slide grooves 31. Therefore, a rotational force around the pin axis of the slide guide pin 13a acts on the hook portion 13b due to the biasing force of the slide biasing portion 4. According to the above-mentioned configuration, the rotation of the hook portion 13b with respect to the predetermined slide guide pin 13aa is restricted, so that the function of the slide biasing portion 4 supported by the hook portion 13b is well maintained.

[0158] The toilet toy 10 of this embodiment also includes a roll body 18 provided on the outer surface of the toy base body 1. In this case, the user can operate the roll body 18 after having the doll or the like sit on the toilet seat 16, allowing the doll to play with toilet paper in a simulated manner. This provides a more interesting toilet toy experience.

[0159] The present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiment, and the configuration may be modified within the scope of the present invention, for example as described below.

[0160] In the above embodiment, an example was given in which the standby means 5 includes the lever 8, the arm 7, and the toilet seat 16 as components, but this is not limited thereto. Although not particularly shown, the standby means 5 may be configured to move the slide member 3 to the other side in a predetermined direction and put it on standby by opening and closing the lid 15. That is, the standby means 5 may include the lid 15 as a component. Alternatively, the toilet toy 10 may include a slide bar that is exposed to the outside of the toy base 1 and connected to the slide member 3, and the standby means 5 may include the slide bar as a component. In this case, the slide member 3 is put into a standby state by the user operating the slide bar.

[0161] In the above embodiment, the release means 6 includes the toilet seat 16 as a component, but the present invention is not limited to this. Although not particularly shown, the release means 6 may be configured to release the standby state of the slide member 3 by opening and closing the lid 15. That is, the release means 6 may include the lid 15 as a component. Alternatively, the toilet toy 10 may include a push button that is exposed to the outside of the toy base 1 and is located at a position different from the toilet seat 16, and the release means 6 may include the push button as a component. In this case, the user presses the push button to release the standby state of the slide member 3.

[0162] Furthermore, the predetermined angle by which the cam mechanism 9 rotates the display member 2 around the first central axis C1 when the slide member 3 moves linearly in a predetermined direction is not limited to 90° as described in the above embodiment. That is, the predetermined angle may be an angle smaller than 90° (e.g., 30°, 45°, 60°, etc.) or an angle larger than 90° (e.g., 120°, etc.). In this case, it is preferable to appropriately change the number and arrangement of the display sections 21 of the display member 2 in accordance with the changed predetermined angle.

[0163] In addition, although not specifically shown, the toilet toy 10 may be provided with a WASHLET (registered trademark) display section provided on the outer surface of the toy base 1. In this case, the user can operate the WASHLET® display after having the doll or the like sit on the toilet seat 16, allowing the user to virtually use the WASHLET® function. This makes playing with the toilet toy even more interesting.

[0164] In addition, although not specifically shown, the toilet toy 10 does not necessarily have to include the lid 15.

[0165] In the above embodiment, the predetermined direction in which the slide member 3 moves linearly is the front-rear direction, but this is not limited to the above. The predetermined direction in which the slide member 3 moves linearly may be any direction perpendicular to the up-down direction, and may be, for example, the left-right direction, or a direction inclined with respect to the front-rear direction and the left-right direction. In this case, the second central axis C2 is disposed at a position separated from the first central axis C1 in the front-rear direction, or at a position separated from the first central axis C1 in the front-rear direction and the left-right direction.

[0166] The toilet toy 10 may be configured in a manner that is inverted in the left-right direction from the configuration described in the above embodiment. In this case, the second central axis C2 is disposed on the left side (-X side) of the first central axis C1. In addition, in a top view of the toilet toy 10 seen from the upper side (+Z side), the counterclockwise direction around the first central axis C1 is one side (+θ1 side) of the first circumferential direction, and the clockwise direction around the first central axis C1 is the other side (-θ1 side) of the first circumferential direction. In addition, in this top view, the counterclockwise direction around the second central axis C2 is one side (+θ2 side) of the second circumferential direction, and the clockwise direction around the second central axis C2 is the other side (-θ2 side) of the second circumferential direction.

[0167] The present invention may be combined with the various configurations described in the above-mentioned embodiments and modifications, and may include additions, omissions, substitutions, and other modifications, without departing from the spirit of the present invention. The present invention is not limited to the above-mentioned embodiments, but is limited only by the claims. [Industrial Applicability]
