DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS
[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 showing the appearance of toy 1, and Fig. 2 is an exploded perspective view of toy 1 shown in Fig. 1 as seen from the front side. Fig. 3 is an exploded perspective view of toy 1 shown in Fig. 1 as seen from the back side. Note that in the explanation with reference to the figures, the explanation will be given using the front-rear direction (front, rear), the front-rear direction (front, back), and the up-down direction (bottom, top), but these directions will be described based on the directions shown in Fig. 1.
[0010] As shown in FIG. 1 and FIG. 2, the toy 1 has a main body 10 having a box-like shape formed by a combination of a first part 11, a second part 12, and a third part 13. A space SP formed by the first part 11, the second part 12, and the third part 13 is provided in the main body 10, and a plurality of secondary bodies 20 are arranged in the space SP. For example, a first secondary body 21 is arranged in the first space SP1 of the space SP, while a second secondary body 22 is arranged in the second space SP2. In this toy 1, for example, the disk-shaped first secondary body 21 and the second secondary body 22 imitate tablet-type solid confectionery, and the main body 10 has a structure imitating the actual product that actually stores tablet-type solid confectionery as its container and is sold. And, in this main body 10, the first part 11 and the second part 12 are configured to be relatively movable in the longitudinal direction thereof, as described later.
[0011] 2 and 3, in the main body 10, the first part 11 includes a rectangular surface portion 11a on which a product name 18 and the like are displayed, upper and lower two-sided portions 11b extending from the upper and lower ends of the surface portion 11a toward the back side, and a rear surface portion 11c extending from the rear end of the surface portion 11a toward the back side and having a notch 11k. In addition, a guide surface portion 11g is provided at the tip of the upper and lower surface portions 11b so as to face the inside at a right angle (parallel to the surface portion 11a). In addition, a front surface portion 11f is formed on the surface portion 11a and protrudes forward from the upper and lower two-sided portions 11b.
[0012] The second component 12 includes a rectangular back surface 12a corresponding to the front surface 11a, upper and lower wall portions 12b extending from the upper and lower edges of the back surface 12a toward the front surface side, a rear wall portion 12c extending from the rear edge of the back surface 12a toward the front surface side, and a front wall portion 12f extending from the front edge of the back surface 12a toward the front surface side. A partition wall 12d is provided near the front wall portion 12f to separate the first space SP1 and the second space SP2. This forms the larger first space SP1 and the smaller second space SP2.
[0013] 3, guide steps 12g are formed on the outer surfaces of the upper and lower end edges of the back surface portion 12a of the second component 12. The guide surface portion 11g of the first component 11 slidably engages with the guide steps 12g (see FIG. 4).
[0014] The third component 13 has a substantially rectangular plate surface portion 13a with cutout portions 13c formed therein, and has a shape corresponding to the shape of the first space SP1. Fitting protrusions 13b are provided at the four corners of the rear surface side of the plate surface portion 13a. The fitting protrusions 13b are fixed to the second component 12 by fitting into fitting bosses 12e of the second component 12. In this way, the first space SP1 is completely closed and is not exposed to the outside even when the second component 12 and the first component 11 slide open in their longitudinal directions.
[0015] In the second space SP2, a secondary body fixing boss 12h for fixing the second secondary body 22 is provided. A secondary body substrate 22a on which two second secondary bodies 22 are formed is fixed to this secondary body fixing boss 12h. That is, a fixing protrusion 22b (see FIG. 3) protruding from the back side of the secondary body substrate 22a fits into the secondary body fixing boss 12h, and the second secondary body 22 is fixed to the second part 12.
[0016] The rear wall 12c is provided with a connecting portion 12r having a through hole 12rh and protruding rearward. That is, the connecting portion 12r can be connected to other objects by connecting a locking member 19 (see FIG. 9) or the like.
[0017] Fig. 4 is a cross-sectional perspective view of a portion taken along line AA in Fig. 1. Also, Fig. 5 is a cross-sectional perspective view of a portion taken along line BB in Fig. 1. As shown in Fig. 4, the main body 10 is attached so that the first part 11 covers the second part 12 with the third part 13 sandwiched therebetween. The surface part 11a of the first part 11 faces the third part 13 so as to be slidable on the third part 13, and furthermore, the guide surface part 11g is provided so as to be slidably hooked on the guide step part 12g. Therefore, in the first form F1 (closed state) before the closing operation shown in Figs. 4 and 5, the second part 12 can move forward relative to the first part 11. In other words, the second part 12 can move backward relative to the first part 11.
[0018] As shown in FIG. 5, the larger first space SP1 houses a large number (eight in the figure) of first sub-body parts 21, which are not visible in either the first form F1 of the main body part 10 or the second form F2 (see FIG. 8) in the open state after operation. Furthermore, the first sub-body parts 21 are not fixed and can move freely within the first space SP1. For example, by swinging the main body part 10, the first sub-body parts 21 rub against or collide with the wall surfaces that form the first space SP1. That is, the main body part 10 forms a sound generating part in the first space SP1.
[0019] On the other hand, in the smaller second space SP2, as described above, for example, two second sub-body parts 22 are fixed in a position close to the front wall part 12f to simulate a state in which they are stacked one on top of the other. Therefore, the second sub-body parts 22 can be arranged in the second form F2 (see FIG. 8) in such a way that two of them are not aligned.
[0020] The operation of the toy 1 will now be described. Fig. 6 is a diagram showing the operation of the toy 1, and is a perspective view from the back showing the state of the toy 1 before the operation. Fig. 7 is a perspective view from the back showing the state of the toy 1 after the operation. Fig. 8 is a perspective view from the front showing the state of the toy 1 after the operation.
[0021] In the first form F1 in which the toy 1 is closed, the first part 11 and the second part 12 are temporarily locked so as not to move. For example, as shown in FIG. 6, a semicircular locking protrusion 11ga is provided on the tip side of the guide surface portion 11g of the first part 11. On the other hand, a first locking recess 12ga is provided on the guide step portion 12g of the second part 12 at a position closest to the front, and a second locking recess 12gb is provided at a predetermined distance behind the first locking recess 12ga. In the first form F1, the locking protrusion 11ga is fitted into the first locking recess 12ga as shown in FIG. 6. As a result, the first part 11 and the second part 12 are locked to each other in a closed state. Therefore, when viewed from the front side, the main body portion 10 is closed as shown in FIG. 1, and the second sub-body portion 22 cannot be seen.
[0022] In the second form F2 in which the toy 1 is opened, the locking protrusion 11ga is fitted into the second locking recess 12gb by an opening operation from the first form F1, as shown in Fig. 7. This causes the first part 11 and the second part 12 to be locked to each other in the open state.
[0023] In the second form F2 in which the toy 1 is opened, as shown in Fig. 8, when viewed from the front side, the second space SP2 becomes a display area and the second sub-body 22 is visible. This state creates the impression that the second sub-body 22, i.e., the candy, is about to be taken out of the container.
[0024] FIG. 9 is a perspective view showing the toy 1 in use. 9, for example, the thumb 51 is placed on the front surface 11a and the middle finger and index finger 52 are placed on the back surface 12a, and the second part 12 is pushed forward to slide. This puts the toy 1 into the second form F2. Note that a connecting part 12r is provided on the rear wall 12c, and a locking member 19 such as a strap is connected to it. Therefore, when opening the toy 1, the protruding connecting part 12r can be pushed in, making it easy to perform the pushing operation.
[0025] FIG. 10 is a perspective view showing an example of a sales form of the toy 1. In FIG.
[0026] The sales form of the toy 1 is not particularly limited, but for example, it can be sold in a state where it is housed in a spherical capsule case 100 made of synthetic resin and has rigidity, as shown in Fig. 10. This capsule case 100 is composed of a combination of a first capsule 101 and a second capsule 102 that are separable hemispherical, and allows the toy 1 to be stored and removed.
[0027] This capsule case 100 has a rollable structure that allows it to roll easily, and therefore can be supplied and sold from an article supply device (not shown) such as a vending machine. The article supply device includes a storage section capable of storing a plurality of capsule cases 100 covered with, for example, a wrapping film in a random arrangement, a supply section capable of randomly selecting and supplying the capsule cases 100 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 fee, and a passage section for passing the capsule cases 100 rotatably from the storage section to the supply port. The capsule cases 100 are spherical in shape to easily roll, and are configured to be supplied to the user while avoiding separation or damage during supply from the article supply device.
[0028] Other aspects of the toy 1 will be illustrated below. Fig. 11 is a perspective view showing another aspect of the toy 1. Fig. 12 is a perspective view showing the toy 1 shown in Fig. 11 with the openable / closable cover 12j open. As shown in Figures 11 and 12, the toy 1 shown in Figure 1 has a configuration in which an openable / closable lid 12j is provided on the long side of the main body 10 including the first part 11 and the second part 12. In this embodiment, a first space SP1 and a second space SP2 are partitioned by a partition wall 12d. A plurality of first sub-body parts 21 are housed in the first space SP1, and a second sub-body part 22 is fixed to the second space SP2.
[0029] The second sub-body 22 is fixed to the second component 12 on the inside of the opening / closing lid 12j so that it is not visible when the opening / closing lid 12j is closed, but is visible when the opening / closing lid 12j is open as shown in Fig. 12. The opening / closing lid 12j is configured to be able to be opened and closed via, for example, a hinge 12ja to the second component 12. A rectangular projection 12jb is provided on the inside of the opening / closing lid 12j, and this projection 12jb fits into and engages with the inside of the edge 10e of the opening portion to maintain the opening / closing lid 12j in a closed state.
[0030] As described above, the toy 1 of the present embodiment has a main body 10 which resembles a box-shaped container having a first space SP1 and a second space SP2 which house secondary bodies 20 (first secondary body 21 and second secondary body 22) which resemble tablet-shaped solid candy, and is configured so that the second secondary body 22 in the second space SP2 is visible when the main body 10 is opened, thereby creating the appearance of tablet-shaped solid candy coming out of the container.
[0031] In the toy 1 of the above embodiment, the second sub-body 22 in the visible second space SP2 is fixed, so that the second sub-body 22 can repeatedly perform a presentation in which the tablet supply is displayed. Also, the first sub-body 21 in the first space SP1, which is provided in an invisible manner, is not fixed in the first space SP1, so that the tablet can move to rub against or collide with the wall surface constituting the first space SP1 to produce a sound.
[0032] Furthermore, in the toy 1 of the above embodiment, the first space SP1 is configured to be wide and a large number of first sub-body portions 21 are provided, so that in the sound presentation, for example, a rubbing sound such as "rustling" can be produced, making it possible to create the impression that a large amount of sweets are contained inside.
[0033] In the toy 1 of the above embodiment, the second sub-body 22 is fixed to one of the first and second parts 11 and 12 (the second part 12) that slide against each other to open and close, so that it can be exposed from the opening in the second form F2 of the opening operation. In addition, the second sub-body 22 is formed so that a number of tablets of candy overlap each other, so that when it is exposed, it can be made to look as if actual tablets of candy are coming out of the opening.
[0034] According to the toy 1 of the above-described embodiment, the first space SP1 remains closed even in the second form F2 in which the sliding movement of the main body part 10 is performed, so that the first sub-body part 21 does not come out of the first space SP1.
[0035] Furthermore, since the third component 13 is attached to the second component 12 so as to cover the first space SP1, the first space SP1 can be closed before the first component 11 and the second component 12 are assembled. This prevents the first sub-component from spilling out of the first space SP1 when the second component 12 and the first component 11 are assembled, improving the ease of assembly.
[0036] According to the toy 1 of the above embodiment, the main body 10 is provided with the connecting portion 12r to which the fastening member 19 such as a strap can be connected, so that the main body 10 can be easily attached to another object.
[0037] Although the embodiments of the present invention have 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 main body 10 is configured to open and close by sliding the first part 11 and the second part 12, and the relatively small openable cover 12j on the long side of the main body 10 is configured to open and close. However, the present invention is not limited to such a configuration, and for example, the front surface 11a or the back surface 12a of the main body 10 may be configured to open and close by a hinge structure.
