[0009] Hereinafter, a toy 1 according to one embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 is a perspective 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. The toy 1 can take a first form 1F in a capsule form as shown in FIG. 1 and a second form 2F in a display form as shown in FIG. 2. For example, the second form 2F is an antique-shaped cage with a bird 30 in it, imitating a birdcage. The main body 5 is configured so that the first frame 10 constituting the cage can accommodate the bird 30, and in both the first form 1F and the second form 2F, the internal object 30 can be seen from the outside. That is, the second frame 20 in the first form 1F is configured to surround the first frame 10, but does not cover the entirety of the frame 10, but covers only a part of the outside of the first frame 10, and the internal object can be seen even in the first form 1F.

[0010] In the first form 1F, as shown in FIG. 1, the toy 1 has a substantially egg-shaped appearance and is configured to have a main body 5 having a first frame portion 10 constituting a lattice portion of a basket, and a second frame portion 20 which is a lattice-shaped outer frame portion covering the outside of the main body 5. The second frame portion 20 is configured to have, for example, four vertical frame portions and two horizontal frame portions. As described later, the four vertical frame portions are connected to the main body 5, and the horizontal frame portions are made up of a first holding portion 41 and a second holding portion 42 which engage the second frame portion 20 to maintain the form of the first form 1F. In addition, the outside of the main body 5 is wrapped in a wrapping film 80 as necessary.

[0011] In the second form 2F, as shown in Fig. 2, the second frame portion 20 has a curved shape in which the main part 20a in the longitudinal center is close to or in contact with the first frame portion 10, and one end portion 20e on the lower end side has a slightly curved, rounded, spiral shape in order to create an antique feel. However, in the first form 1F, the second frame portion 20 is configured to cover a part of the main body portion 5 with the main part 20a close to or in contact with the first frame portion 10.

[0012] Fig. 3 is a perspective view showing a state in which the second frame portion 20 is locked by the first holding portion 41 and the second holding portion 42 in the first mode. Fig. 4 is a perspective view showing the first holding portion 41 and the second holding portion 42. As shown in FIG. 3, the second frame portion 20 has one end 20e (upper side in the figure) locked by the first retaining portion 41, and the other end 20t opposite to the one end 20e is connected to the bottom portion 8 constituting the bottom portion of the birdcage to which the first frame portion 10 is connected. In addition, the second frame portion 20 is provided so that one surface 20is constituting the inner surface in the first form 1F faces the other surface 20ts constituting the outer surface of the second frame portion 20 is configured to bulge outward. For example, the main portion 20a in the approximately central region in the longitudinal direction of the second frame portion 20 forms an arc shape bulging outward, and is configured to cover and protect the main body portion 5 including the first frame portion 10 from the outside. In addition, an outer rib 28 protruding in an arc shape is provided on the outside of the main portion 20a. Thus, in the first form 1F, the second frame portion 20 has a rollable shape that can be said to be an egg shape bulging outward. Therefore, in the first form 1F, the toy 1 can be supplied and sold from an item supply device. The item supply device includes a storage section capable of storing a plurality of toys 1 covered with wrapping film in a random arrangement, a supply section capable of randomly selecting and supplying toys 1 one by one from the storage section, a lock section for locking the supply section, an operation section operable to unlock the lock section and rotate the supply section on the condition of payment of a price, and a passage section for passing the toy 1 rotatably from the storage section to the supply port.

[0013] A first recess 21 is provided near one end 20e of the second frame portion 20, where the other surface 20ts is recessed, and a locking end 41d of the first holding portion 41 (see FIG. 4) engages with the first recess 21. As a result, the one ends 20e of the four second frame portions 20 are fixed in a state in which they are close to each other or in contact with each other. The other ends 20t of the second frame portion 20 are rotatably attached to the bottom portion 8, as described later. In addition, a pair of inner ribs 27 aligned in the longitudinal direction are provided at the position of the main portion 20a on one surface 20is constituting the inner surface of the second frame portion 20, and an annular second holding portion 42 (see FIG. 4) is provided to fit into the inner ribs 27.

[0014] Fig. 4 shows the first holding part 41 and the second holding part 42, where (a) is an exploded perspective view of the first holding part 41 and (b) is an exploded perspective view of the second holding part 42.

The first outer shell portion 11 side has a plate-shaped basket bottom surface 18, and is provided with a third holding portion 53 capable of holding an article 30 inside the basket. A lock portion 15 is provided on the opposite side to the hinge portion 14. For example, the lock portion 15 is provided with a lock claw 15b on the second outer shell portion 12 side, and a lock opening 15a that engages with the lock claw 15b is provided on the first outer shell portion 11 side.

[0017] FIG. 7 is a perspective view showing the rotation structure of the first frame portion 10. As shown in FIG. As shown in Fig. 7, the first frame section 10 is configured to be rotatable with respect to the bottom section 8. This rotation structure is, for example, a structure having a rotation support shaft 18a provided at the center of the back side of the car bottom surface 18, and a bearing section 8a having a cylindrical hole protruding from the center of the bottom section 8. Therefore, by fitting the rotation support shaft 18a into the bearing section 8a, the first frame section 10 rotates around the rotation support shaft 18a such that the back side of the car bottom surface 18 slides on the upper end surface of the bottom section 8.

[0018] FIG. 8 is a perspective view showing the structure of the third holding portion 53. As shown in FIG. As shown in FIG. 8, the first outer shell part 11 is configured to detachably hold the third holding part 53 capable of holding the article 30. For example, on the inner surface side of the first outer shell part 11 and the second outer shell part 12, a pair of mounting grooves 19g that face each other in parallel on a virtual plane parallel to the cage bottom surface 18 is provided by a rib 19 that protrudes toward the inside of the cage midway in the height direction of both the outer shell parts 11, 12. Then, the disk part 56 of the third holding part 53 is detachably inserted into this mounting groove 19g. In addition, the disk part 56 of the third holding part 53 has a disk-shaped shape and can rotate while being attached to the mounting groove 19g. That is, the third holding part 53 can freely change its orientation with respect to the first frame part 10.

[0019] The third holding portion 53 is provided with a ring attachment portion 57 for attaching the ring portion 32 provided at the bottom of the bird-shaped shaped portion 31 of the article 30. When the ring portion 32 is inserted into the ring attachment portion 57, a locking protrusion 58 (see FIG. 7) provided at the bottom end of the ring attachment portion 57 engages with the bottom end of the ring portion 32 to lock the ring portion 32. Additionally, item 30 can be taken out of the birdcage and enjoyed as a ring.

[0020] FIG. 9 is an external perspective view showing the connection structure between the second frame portion 20 and the bottom portion 8, and FIG. 10 is a sectional perspective view of a main portion showing the connection structure of the second frame portion 20. As shown in FIG. As shown in FIG. 9, the other end 20t of the second frame portion 20 is appropriately curved so as to wrap around from the side of the main body portion 5 to the bottom back surface 8b of the bottom portion 8, and has a cylindrical rotating shaft portion 20b at the tip portion so as to be rotatable. The rotating shaft portion 20b is attached so that the shaft core portion 20ba fits into the shaft hole portion 8ca of the receiving recess 8c provided in the bottom back surface 8b. The receiving recess 8c has a receiving recess 8cb of the other end 20t having, for example, a curved bottom surface, which allows the second frame portion 20 to rotate. The connection points of the second frame portion 20 to the bottom portion 8 are provided at equal intervals of 90 degrees in the circumferential direction of the bottom portion 8.

[0021] The rotating shaft portion 20b can be attached by pushing it into the receiving recess 8c from the bottom back surface 8b side. Inside, as shown in Fig. 10, the shaft core portion 20ba of the rotating shaft portion 20b is engaged and held by the shaft locking protrusions 8d protruding from the inner surface of the bottom portion 8. That is, the shaft core portions 20ba at both the left and right ends of the rotating shaft portion 20b are clamped by a pair of shaft locking protrusions 8d (a total of four shaft locking protrusions) on each side so that they cannot fall off in the radial direction of the shaft. This allows the rotating shaft portion 20b to be held rotatably.
