FIG. DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS

[0009] An embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. The toy house 1 shown in FIG. 1 is open on the front side and is formed to resemble a two-story house. The toy house 1 has a toy house body 10 that resembles a house and a plate-shaped base member 100. In the following description, when looking at the toy house 1 from the front, the left side is referred to as the left, the right side as the right, the upper side as the top, the lower side as the bottom, the front side as the front, and the opposite side as the back.

[0010] The house toy main body 10 comprises plate-shaped wall portions 11 provided opposite to each other on the left and right, and a plate-shaped connecting wall portion 12 provided to connect the rear sides of the two wall portions 11. The house toy main body 10 comprises a floor member 13 that constitutes the second floor. The floor member 13 is movable in the front-rear direction by a plate-shaped guide portion 4 that is long in the front-rear direction (see FIG. 4), and is detachably provided on the house toy main body 10. The house toy main body 10 has a ladder toy 20 provided across the base member 100 and floor member 13 that constitute the first floor. In addition, a part of the roof is formed on the rear side of the second floor.

[0011] The upper surface of the base member 100 serves as a mounting surface 101 for the house toy body 10. The mounting surface 101 is provided with grooves in a lattice pattern, giving it a plank-like wood grain pattern. The upper surface of the floor member 13 is also provided with grooves that form a plank-like wood grain pattern.

[0012] The base member 100 is provided with fitting holes 110 (see also FIG. 2) that fit into fitting protrusions 30 (see also FIG. 3) provided at the lower ends of the left and right wall portions 11. The portions where the fitting protrusions 30 and the fitting holes 110 fit into each other are located near the left and right ends on the rear side of the house toy 1. The fitting protrusions 30 and fitting holes 110 located on the left and right are formed with the same symmetrical structure. Therefore, the following description will focus on the fitting protrusion 30 and fitting hole 110 on the left side.

[0013] As shown in FIG. 2, the fitting hole 110 is configured with a plurality of five holes arranged in the front-rear direction. The center of the five holes is a first insertion hole 111 as an insertion hole. The first insertion hole 111 is a hole having a generally elongated rectangular shape that is not penetrating and is long in the front-rear direction. Two engagement holes 113 are provided at both ends in the longitudinal direction of the first insertion hole 111 so as to be adjacent to the first insertion hole 111. Each engagement hole 113 is formed as a generally elongated rectangular hole that is long in the front-rear direction. As shown in FIG. 2 and FIG. 7, each engagement hole 113 has an engagement protrusion 113a that is long in the front-rear direction on the outer wall surface. A generally elongated rectangular through hole 113b that is long in the front-rear direction is provided on the bottom surface of each engagement hole 113.

[0014] 2, second insertion hole portions 112 are provided in front of the front engagement hole portion 113 and behind the rear engagement hole portion 113 as insertion hole portions adjacent to each engagement hole portion 113. Insertion ribs 114 are provided between the first insertion hole portion 111 and the two front and rear engagement holes 113, and between the two front and rear engagement holes 113 and the front and rear second insertion hole portions 112 adjacent to each other.

[0015] The first insertion hole 111 and the second insertion hole 112 have approximately the same left-right (width) dimension and up-down (depth) dimension (see also FIG. 5). The engagement hole 113 has approximately the same left-right dimension as the first insertion hole 111 and the second insertion hole 112. The up-down dimension of the engagement hole 113 is deeper than the first insertion hole 111 and the second insertion hole 112 (see FIG. 5).

[0016] As shown in Fig. 3, a narrow, substantially rectangular plate-like installation portion 11a that is long in the front-rear direction is provided at the lower end of the wall portion 11 so as to be perpendicular to the wall portion 11. The outer edge surface of the installation portion 11a is substantially continuous with the corresponding edge surface of the base member 100 (see Figs. 6 and 7). The lower surface of the installation portion 11a is made to be an abutment surface 11a1. The abutment surface 11a1 is a surface that abuts against the mounting surface 101 when the house toy main body 10 is attached to the mounting surface 101 of the base member 100. The abutment surface 11a1 is provided with a fitting protrusion 30 including a plurality of protrusions protruding from the abutment surface 11a1.

[0017] The fitting convex portion 30 is provided with a first insertion convex portion 31 which is an insertion convex portion shaped like a substantially rectangular plate that is long in the front-rear direction. Two second insertion convex portions 32 which are insertion convex portions shaped like a substantially rectangular plate that are shorter than the first insertion convex portion 31 are provided on both ends of the first insertion convex portion 31. Two resilient convex portions 33 which are formed thinner than the insertion convex portions (first insertion convex portion 31, second insertion convex portion 32) and have resilience are provided between the first insertion convex portion 31 and the second insertion convex portion 32. The first insertion convex portion 31 and the second insertion convex portion 32 are formed with the same thickness.

[0018] An engagement recess 33a having a generally rectangular shape that is long in the front-rear direction is provided on the outer side of the resilient protrusion 33. A gap S is provided between the insertion protrusion and the resilient protrusion 33, specifically, between the first insertion protrusion 31 and the resilient protrusion 33 and between the second insertion protrusion 32 and the resilient protrusion 33.

[0019] 4, the inner surface 35a of the insertion convex portion (first insertion convex portion 31, second insertion convex portion 32) of the fitting convex portion 30 is aligned so as to be substantially flush with the inner surface of the resilient convex portion 33. As described above, the resilient convex portion 33 is formed thinner than the first insertion convex portion 31 and the second insertion convex portion 32, so that the outer surface 35b of the insertion convex portion (first insertion convex portion 31, second insertion convex portion 32) of the fitting convex portion 30 is positioned outside the outer surface of the resilient convex portion 33.

[0020] Here, the inner surface of the wall 11 is provided so that the angle θ1 between it and the inner surface of the rear connecting wall 12 is an obtuse angle. For example, θ1 is set to 92 degrees. Therefore, the house toy 1 can present a spacious interior space when viewed from the front side. On the other hand, the inner surface 35a of the fitting protrusion 30 is provided so that the angle θ2 between it and the inner surface of the connecting wall 12 is a right angle. Even if the wall 11 is expanded forward, the longitudinal direction of the fitting protrusion 30 provided on the wall 11 is perpendicular to the connecting wall 12, so that when the user removes the house toy main body 10 from the base member 100, the twisting of the fitting protrusion 30 can be reduced.

[0021] The installation portion 11a is formed in a substantially right-angled trapezoidal shape in a plan view. That is, the outer side of the installation portion 11a is perpendicular to the connecting wall portion 12. The inner side of the installation portion 11a is inclined in accordance with the inclination of the wall portion 11, which expands. The installation portion 11a is provided with a lever portion 11a2 that protrudes outward beyond the outer surface 35b of the fitting protrusion 30 in the front-rear direction.

[0022] Here, the width W2 of the portion of the fitting protrusion 30 protruding beyond the inner side surface 35a of the insertion protrusion (the distance from the inner side surface 35a to the inner edge of the installation portion 11a) is smaller than the width W1 of the lever portion 11a2 (the distance from the outer side surface 35b to the outer edge of the installation portion 11a) (see also FIG. 6). Furthermore, the width W2 of the portion of the fitting protrusion 30 protruding beyond the inner side surface 35a of the insertion protrusion is set to gradually decrease from the rear to the front. In particular, the width W2 disappears in the portion forward of the front second insertion protrusion 32. In this way, the amount of protrusion of the edge 11b (see also FIG. 1) of the base end (the inner side of the upper surface of the installation portion 11a) of the wall portion 11, which is configured to expand, from the inner surface of the wall portion 11 is constant and the amount of protrusion of the edge 11b can be made small, so that when a furniture toy such as a chest of drawers (not shown) is placed inside the house toy 1, the furniture toy can be placed so that the inner surface of the wall portion 11 and the back surface of the furniture toy are close to or in contact with each other.

[0023] As shown in Fig. 5, when the house toy main body 10 is attached to the base member 100, the fitting convex portion 30 fits into the fitting hole portion 110. More specifically, the first insertion convex portion 31 is inserted into the first insertion hole portion 111 and fits therewith. The two second insertion convex portions 32 are inserted into the second insertion hole portions 112 and fit therewith. As shown in Fig. 6, the fitting between the insertion convex portions (first insertion convex portion 31, second insertion convex portion 32) and the insertion hole portions (first insertion hole portion 111, second insertion hole portion 112) is press-fitted to such an extent that they can be detached.

[0024] As shown in FIG. 5, the two resilient protrusions 33 are inserted into the respective engagement holes 113. At this time, as shown in FIG. 7, the engagement protrusions 113a of the engagement holes 113 enter and engage with the engagement recesses 33a of the resilient protrusions 33. Furthermore, the insertion ribs 114 disposed between the insertion protrusions and the engagement holes 113 are inserted into the corresponding gaps S in the fitting protrusions 30. This reliably restricts the movement of the house toy main body 10 relative to the base member 100. In this way, the insertion protrusions and the insertion hole portions are press-fitted, the resilient protrusions 33 are engaged with the engagement holes 113, and the insertion ribs 114 are inserted into the gaps S, so that the house toy main body 10 is reliably fixed to the base member 100.

[0025] When finishing playing with the house toy 1 and putting it away, the house toy body 10 can be removed from the base member 100. Here, in the case of a child who is the main user, it is difficult to move the house toy body 10 away from the base member 100 substantially vertically to release the engagement between the engagement protrusion 30 and the engagement hole 110. Therefore, in the case of a child who is the user, he or she may lift the left or right side of the house toy body 10 to release the engagement between the engagement protrusion 30 and the engagement hole 110, one at a time.

[0026] In the house toy 1, when one of the left and right sides of the house toy main body 10 is lifted to release the engagement between the engagement protrusion 30 and the engagement hole 110 on the other side, a fulcrum is formed between the lower surface of the lever portion 11a2 and the upper surface (mounting surface 101) of the base member 100 to which the lower surface of the lever portion 11a2 faces, as shown in Fig. 8. Then, since the force is received at this fulcrum, the insertion protrusions (first insertion protrusion 31, second insertion protrusion 32) can escape from the insertion hole portions (first insertion hole portion 111, second insertion hole portion 112) without applying excessive force to them. Note that since the resilient protrusion 33 has resilience, it is slightly bent when the insertion protrusion and the insertion hole portion are attached and detached, and the engagement protrusion 113a and the engagement recess 33a are engaged and disengaged.

[0027] According to the embodiment of the present invention as described above, a house toy having the following configuration can be provided.

[0028] The house toy of the first aspect has a plate-shaped base member having a fitting hole portion including a plurality of holes and a mounting surface, and a house toy body including a plate-shaped wall portion attached to the mounting surface with an installation portion including an abutment surface that abuts against the mounting surface and a fitting protrusion portion including a plurality of protrusions protruding from the abutment surface to fit into the fitting hole portion, wherein the installation portion includes a lever portion that protrudes outwardly from the outer surface of the fitting protrusion portion, and the width of the portion that protrudes beyond the inner surface of the fitting protrusion portion is smaller than the width of the lever portion.

[0029] According to this configuration, the house toy body can be easily attached to the base member by the concave-convex engagement of the fitting protrusion and the fitting hole, and further, even a child can easily remove the house toy body from the base member by lifting the left or right side of the house toy body first. Therefore, if the house toy body and the base member are separated after playing, it can be put away compactly. And, since the house toy body and the base member are reliably fixed by the concave-convex engagement of the fitting protrusion and the fitting hole, even if the house toy body is lifted with the furniture toy placed on the base member in the room of the house toy body, the base member is held without falling, and the house toy can be easily moved. And, since the width W2 of the part protruding from the inner surface of the fitting protrusion can be reduced, the furniture toy can be arranged in a good appearance. Also, since the house toy can be packaged in a state where the house toy body and the base member are separated, the packaging material can be reduced, and a house toy can be provided as a product that takes into consideration environmental issues by reducing transportation costs and the amount of packaging material.

[0030] In a house toy according to a second aspect, the fitting convex portion comprises an insertion convex portion and a resilient convex portion which is formed thinner than the insertion convex portion and has an engagement recess, the insertion convex portion being arranged at a predetermined interval, and the fitting hole portion comprises an insertion hole portion into which the insertion convex portion is inserted, an engagement hole portion having an engagement protrusion into which the resilient convex portion is inserted and which engages with the engagement recess, and an insertion rib which is arranged between the insertion hole portion and the engagement hole portion and is inserted between the insertion convex portion and the resilient convex portion.

[0031] With this configuration, the insertion convex portion and the insertion hole portion are press-fitted to facilitate fixing to the base member of the house toy body, while the engagement of the engagement protrusion with the engagement recess ensures a secure prevention of removal, and the resilient spring convex portion makes it easy to remove.

[0032] In the house toy according to a third aspect, the engagement hole is provided on the outer side of the wall.

[0033] According to this configuration, when the left or right side of the house toy body is lifted to remove the house toy body from the base member, the engagement recess and the engagement protrusion can be easily released from engagement.

[0034] In a house toy according to a fourth aspect, the insertion protrusion is provided along the wall portion and has a first insertion protrusion and two second insertion protrusions provided on both ends of the first insertion protrusion and shorter than the first insertion protrusion, and two of the springy protrusions are provided between the first insertion protrusion and the second insertion protrusion.

[0035] According to this configuration, it is possible to arrange in a well-balanced manner the press-fit portion that fixes while positioning the horizontal direction, and the portion that restricts separation in the vertical direction by the resilient protrusion.

[0036] In the house toy according to a fifth aspect, the two walls are provided facing each other and connected at their rear sides by a plate-shaped connecting wall, and the two walls are provided to expand toward the front.

[0037] With this configuration, it is possible to provide a house toy that makes the room look spacious, is visually pleasing, and is easy to assemble and disassemble.

[0038] Although the embodiment of the present invention has been described above, the present invention is not limited to the above embodiment, and various modifications are possible without departing from the gist of the present invention. [Explanation of symbols]
