[0009] Hereinafter, a toy according to one embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. Fig. 1 is a side view of the toy 1 in a first mode 1F, and Fig. 2 is a perspective view of the toy 1 in a second mode 2F. As shown in Fig. 1, the toy 1 has a main body 10 constituting its shell, which comprises a first shell part 11 having a truncated cone shape and a second shell part 12 having a truncated cone shape connected to the first shell part 11. The two shell parts 11, 12 are assembled so that one-side surfaces 11a, 12a, which are the larger circular end surfaces of the truncated cone shapes, face each other and come into contact with each other. For example, the one-side surfaces 11a, 12a are configured to have the same area, and by facing each other as shown in the figure, the outer surfaces 11s, 12s are configured to have a smaller diameter in the vertical direction without creating a step between the outer surface 11s and the outer surface 12s.

[0010] Furthermore, the first outer shell part 11 is attached with a first top part 31 having a spherical outer surface 31s on the other side part 11b (see FIG. 3) on the upper side in the figure. As a result, the outer surface 11s of the first outer shell part 11 and the spherical outer surface 31s are made to be close to a sphere. On the other hand, the second outer shell part 12 is attached with a second top part 32 having a spherical outer surface 32s on the other side part 12b on the lower side in the figure. As a result, the outer surface 12s of the second outer shell part 12 and the spherical outer surface 32s are made to be close to a sphere. With this configuration, the toy 1 has an approximately spherical shape as a whole and can roll.

[0011] In the first form 1F, the toy 1 is covered with, for example, a wrapping film 50. Meanwhile, as described later, the toy 1 in the first form 1F can take the second form 2F, which is an exhibition form as shown in FIG. 2, by disassembling and reassembling. That is, the first form 1F is a capsule form that can be supplied from an article supply device (not shown), and the toy 1 in the second form 2F can be displayed on a stand 60 without rolling, as shown in FIG. 2. In addition, the first outer shell part 11 imitating a lampshade is configured so that its maximum length in the height direction is longer than the maximum length in the height direction of the second outer shell part 12 imitating a base part, thereby forming a preferable shape as a mini lamp in the second form 2F.

[0012] The article supplying device referred to here comprises a storage case capable of storing multiple toys 1 covered with wrapping film 50 in a random arrangement, a supplying unit capable of randomly selecting and supplying toys 1 one by one from the storage case, a locking unit for locking the supplying unit, an operating unit that can be operated to unlock the locking unit and rotate the supplying unit on the condition that a fee is paid, and a passage unit that allows the toy 1 to pass through so as to drop from the storage case to the supply port in a tumbling manner. The toy 1 has a roughly spherical shape that allows it to roll easily, and is configured to be supplied to the user's hand while avoiding separation or damage when supplied from the article supplying device.

[0013] The first sub-body 21, which is the connecting shaft, and the like that were housed in the internal housing space (internal spaces SP1 and SP2 described below) are taken out and assembled. In this second form 2F, a first outer part 11 that imitates a lampshade and a second outer part 12 that imitates a base are connected. Fig. 3 is an exploded perspective view of the toy 1 in the first form 1F. Fig. 4 is a perspective view showing the inside of the second outer part 12. In the first form 1F, the toy 1 is spherical in shape because the first outer shell part 11, the second outer shell part 12, the first top part 31, and the second top part 32 are connected to each other, and the outer surface of the toy 1 is covered with a wrapping film 50. The toy 1 can be separated as shown in FIG. 3 by removing the wrapping film 50 and disconnecting each connected part. In addition, the second outer shell part 12 accommodates a first sub-body part 21 and a third sub-body part 23 in an internal space SP2 as shown in FIG. 4. Furthermore, the first outer shell part 11 accommodates a second sub-body part 22, which is a power supply unit, as described later.

[0014] The first top part 31 and the second top part 32 are configured such that the outer surfaces 31s, 32s of both top parts 31, 32 are curved surfaces (parts of spherical surfaces) that bulge outward, and fitting protrusions 31p, 32p that can fit into the fitting holes 11p, 12p of the first outer shell part 11 and the second outer shell part 12 are provided on the inside. For example, the first top part 31 and the second top part 32 can be easily removed by pulling out the fitting protrusions 31p, 32p from the fitting holes 11p, 12p. In addition, the first outer shell part 11 and the second outer shell part 12 can be easily removed by pulling out the connecting protrusion 13c (see FIG. 7) of the first outer shell part 11 that fits into the connecting boss portion 12c of the second outer shell part 12.

[0015] FIG. 5 is a perspective view of the toy 1 when it is assembled into the second mode 2F. When assembling the toy 1, the second part 12 is turned upside down with respect to the first part 11. Then, the first part 11 and the second part 12 are connected in a spaced-apart state via the first sub-body 21. In this connected state, one surface 11a of the first part 11 and the other surface 12b of the second part 12 are connected in parallel to each other to form a mini-ramp. The third sub-body 23, which is a figure, is attached by inserting the attachment protrusion 23p into the fitting hole 12p formed on the upper surface side of the second outer shell part 12, i.e., the other surface part 12b. That is, in the first form 1F, the third sub-body 23 is fixed using the fitting hole 12p to which the second top part 32 is fixed. The first sub-body 21 is configured so that its maximum length (L3) is longer than the maximum length (L4) of the third sub-body 23. This ensures an installation space for the third sub-body 23.

[0016] FIG. 6 is an exploded perspective view showing the internal structure of the first part 11. As shown in FIG. 6, the first outer part 11 has an internal space SP1 formed therein and is configured to be able to store articles therein. The internal space SP1 has an opening on the one surface portion 11a side, and this opening is closed by the disk member 13. For example, a plurality of fitting pins 13p are protruding from the outer periphery of the disk member 13, and the fitting pins 13p are fitted into fitting holes 11p provided on the opening edge of the internal space SP1.

[0017] The second sub-body 22 is attached to the inside of the disk member 13. This second sub-body 22 is a power supply unit having a power supply unit 13a, a light source 13b, and the like. At least a part of the first part 11 is made of a light-transmitting material (in this embodiment, the whole part is made of a light-transmitting material). Therefore, in the second form 2F, the light inside the first part 11 is visible from the outside. This allows, for example, a character or other pattern C (see FIG. 2) to be provided on the outer surface 11s of the first part 11 to be illuminated.

[0018] FIG. 7 is a perspective view showing the outer surface side of the disk member 13 that closes the opening of the first part 11. As shown in FIG. As shown in Fig. 7, a cylindrical connecting protrusion 13c is provided at the center of the outer surface of the disk member 13. In the first form 1F, this connecting protrusion 13c is connected to a connecting boss portion 12c provided at the inner center of the second part 12. This connects the first part 11 and the second part 12. In the second form 2F, the connecting protrusion 13c is connected to a connecting hole 21a (see Fig. 5) on the upper end side of the first sub-body portion 21. In addition, a switch 13s for turning on the light source 13b is provided on the outer surface of the disk member 13, and the power can be turned on and off.

[0019] FIG. 8 is an enlarged perspective view showing the connection structure between the second outer part 12 and the first sub-body part 21. As shown in FIG. The first sub-body 21 is provided at its lower end with a pair of connecting claws 21f that protrude outward on a radial diagonal line of the first sub-body 21, as shown in FIG. 8. The connecting claws 21f are fitted and fixed in a mounting recess 12e provided in the center of the other surface 12b of the second shell part 12. For example, the substantially cylindrical mounting recess 12e is provided with a pair of hooking protrusions 12f at positions facing each other. The hooking protrusions 12f include a plate-like protruding upper surface 12fa that has a predetermined width along the circumferential direction of the mounting recess 12e and protrudes toward the center of the mounting recess 12e, and a claw locking portion 12fb that extends perpendicularly from the protruding upper surface 12fa toward the bottom surface 12d of the mounting recess 12e. When connecting the first sub-body 21 to the mounting recess 12e configured in this way, the connecting claw 21f is inserted so as to contact the bottom surface 12d of the mounting recess 12e, and then rotated in a clockwise direction, whereby the connecting claw 21f is engaged with the inner side of the hook protrusion 12f, thereby completing the connection and fixation.

[0020] FIG. 9 is a perspective view showing a second modified embodiment 2F of the present invention. In the embodiment shown in Fig. 9, the first sub-body 21 is composed of a decorative member 21b that is detachable from the shaft member 21c. This allows for a wide variety of first sub-body 21 to be provided and for different presentations to be made by changing the decorative member 21b. The third sub-body 23 of the figure is attached by inserting the locking pin 12j of the second shell part 12 into the locking hole 23j provided on the bottom surface of the third sub-body 23.

[0021] As described above, in the toy 1 of this embodiment, the first outer shell part 11 and the second outer shell part 12 constituting the main body 10, for example, in a toy imitating a mini lamp, the first outer shell part 11 having a larger volume can be configured as a lampshade, and the second outer shell part 12 having a smaller volume can be configured as a base.

[0022] In addition, in the toy 1 of this embodiment, the first outer shell part 11 and the second outer shell part 12 are configured to be connectable with their respective one-side surface portions 11a, 12a, which have a large area in the first form 1F, facing each other, thereby making it possible to make the overall shape of the main body part 10 in the first form 1F closer to a spherical shape. Furthermore, by connecting the first top part 31 to the outside of the first outer shell part 11 and the second top part 32 to the outside of the second outer shell part 12, the toy shape in the first form 1F can be made more spherical and can be configured to be rollable.

[0023] In addition, in the toy 1 of this embodiment, the first outer shell part 11 and the second outer shell part 12 are both frustum-shaped, and the one-side surface portions 11a, 12a, which are the larger side surfaces of each, are configured to have the same area, so that in the first form 1F, when the two outer shell parts 11, 12 are connected, the two outer surfaces 11s, 12s can be made into a continuous outer surface. Furthermore, since one side portion 11a and the other side portion 11b of the first outer shell part 11 are parallel to each other, and one side portion 12a and the other side portion 12b of the second outer shell part 12 are parallel to each other, it is easy to form a rolling spherical shape in the first form 1F in which the first and second top parts 31, 32 are connected to the other side portions 11b, 12b.

[0024] In addition, in the toy 1 of this embodiment, the maximum length in the height direction of the first outer shell part 11 is configured to be longer than the maximum length in the height direction of the second outer shell part 12, so that the first outer shell part 11 can be formed into a shape suitable for use as a lamp shade in a mini stand. In addition, since the insides of the first outer shell part 11 and the second outer shell part 12 are configured to be hollow, in the first form 1F, articles such as the first sub-body part 21, the second sub-body part 22, and the third sub-body part 23 can be stored inside both outer shell parts 11, 12. Since the first sub-body part 21 and the third sub-body part 23 are arranged in an unfixed state inside the second outer shell part 12 in the first form 1F, they can be easily removed when changing to the second form 2F.

[0025] In the toy 1 of this embodiment, the first outer shell part 11 and the second outer shell part 12 are configured to be connectable via the first sub-body part 21 in the second form 2F, so that the support part of the first sub-body part 21 can configure a mini stand that connects the lampshade and the base part. Furthermore, since at least a part of the first outer shell part 11 is configured from a light-transmitting material, in the second form 2F, the light inside the first outer shell part 11 can be visible from the outside, and the presentation as a lampshade can be made effective. Furthermore, the maximum length of the first sub-body 21 of the support is longer than the maximum length of the third sub-body 23 constituting the figure, making it possible to present the figure on the base (second outer shell part 12).

[0026] In the toy 1 of this embodiment, the first top part 31 and the second top part 32 are configured so that they can be easily separated from their state in the first form 1F when in the second form 2F, making it easy to transform the toy 1 into the second form 2F.

[0027] 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 connection structure between the first sub-body 21 and the second outer shell part 12 is configured to rotate and lock, but this is not limited to this, and other fitting structures may be used, such as a structure in which the engaging claws are deformed and hooked by simply pushing the parts into place.

[0028] In the above embodiment, the external shape of the first part 11 and the second part 12 is a truncated cone shape, but this is not limited thereto. For example, the outer surfaces 11s, 12s may be curved lines.
