DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS

[0009] An embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 shows a doll play toy 100, which is modeled after a castle floating in the sky. A pond section 10 simulating a pond is formed inside the shape of a circular cloud on the base. A plurality of mounting legs 110 are provided on the underside of the pond section 10. Due to the mounting legs 110, the doll play toy 100 appears to float about 10 mm above the installation surface when installed. In the following description, the front side of the doll play toy 100 is referred to as the front, the opposite side as the rear, the pond section 10 side as the bottom, the opposite side as the top, the left side as viewed from the front of the doll play toy 100 as the left, and the right side as the right.

[0010] A castle section 20 is provided above the pond section 10. The castle section 20 is provided with the image of a castle floating in the clouds. The castle section 20 has two long waterfall sections 21 that are long in the vertical direction, and are provided with the image of waterfalls flowing from the castle section 20 to the pond section 10. Meanwhile, a tree section 111 that is erected in a roughly board-like shape and resembles a tree is provided on the rear side of the pond section 10. The castle section 20 is supported by the waterfall section 21 and the tree section 111. A cloud-shaped support base 120 is provided on the castle section 20.

[0011] The swing unit 40 is provided from the support base 120 via the arc-shaped support 30 that supports the swing unit 40. The swing unit 40 is provided with a rotating body 42 that is connected to a rotating shaft 43 that resembles a sunflower and is rotatable. The swing unit 42 is provided with three swings 41 that are suspended from the rotating body 42. The pond unit 10 is provided with a rotating playground equipment unit 70 that resembles a fountain. A boat unit 80 that resembles a boat is provided in front of the rotating playground equipment unit 70. The right side of the castle unit 20 is provided with an elevator 90 to which a string 92 is connected via a forked branch 91. The elevator 90 is provided with a doll placement unit 93 that resembles a flower, and a doll can be placed thereon and played with.

[0012] 2 and 3 show a support structure 200 of a doll play toy 100 including a rotating swing unit 40, an arc-shaped support unit 30 that supports the rotating swing unit 40, and a support base 120 to which the arc-shaped support unit 30 is attached. The support base 120 includes a fixing unit 125 that is attached to the support base 120 as a separate part. As shown in FIG. 3, the fixing unit 125 has an internal space. A fixing hole 125a having a substantially rectangular shape that is long in the left-right direction is provided in the internal space of the fixing unit 125, and a substantially rectangular protrusion 120a protruding from the front side surface of the support base 120 is inserted and fixed. The support base 120 including the fixing unit 125 is formed to imitate the shape of a cloud. A boss may be provided on the support base 120, and a boss hole into which the boss fits may be provided in the internal space of the fixing unit 125.

[0013] 2 and 3, the arc-shaped support part 30 includes a base end part 31, a tip part 33, and an intermediate part 32 which is a connecting part between a part extending upward from the base end part 31 and a part extending downward to include the tip part 33. That is, the arc-shaped support part 30 serving as a support member is provided so as to extend upward from the base end part 31 and then downward via the intermediate part 32. The tip part 33 is provided with a rotating swing part 40 serving as a supported object. Note that, although the support member is arc-shaped (arc-shaped support part 30) in this embodiment, it may be in another shape such as a U-shape.

[0014] The arc-shaped support portion 30 includes a support body plate 30a with a plate surface facing the front-rear direction, and support side edge plates 30b, 30c standing like walls facing rearward along opposing edges of the support body plate 30a. The support side edge plate 30b is provided on the radially outer side of the arc-shaped support portion 30, and the support side edge plate 30c is provided on the radially inner side.

[0015] As shown in Fig. 4, an abutment plate 125b is provided as an abutment portion above the fixing hole 125a in the internal space of the fixing portion 125. The abutment plate 125b is disposed with its plate surface facing the up-down direction. The fixing hole 125a and the abutment plate 125b are connected to and reinforced by a vertical rib 125c with its plate surface facing the left-right direction.

[0016] An opening 125d that opens in a generally rectangular shape that is long in the left-right direction is provided on the upper surface of the fixing part 125 (see also FIG. 2). The left and right end edges of the opening 125d are provided on the lower surface as latched parts 125e that latch with latching protrusions 35d of the resilient latching part 35 described later.

[0017] As shown in Figs. 4 and 5, the end of the arc-shaped support part 30 on the side of the base end part 31 is provided with an abutment part 34 having an arc-shaped abutment surface 34a. The abutment part 34 is provided connected to the support body plate 30a via a step part 30a1 bent backward from the support body plate 30a. The abutment part 34 includes a connection plate 34b whose plate surface faces the front-rear direction, and an abutment plate 34c bent backward from the lower end of the connection plate 34b and formed in an arc shape that is convex downward when viewed from the front-rear direction. The lower surface of the abutment plate 34c is the abutment surface 34a. The abutment surface 34a abuts against the upper surface of the abutted plate 125b.

[0018] The arc-shaped support portion 30 is provided such that the support body plate 30a is inclined relative to the connection plate 34b of the abutment portion 34. This inclination is set so that the tip end 33 of the arc-shaped support portion 30 is located forward of the base end portion 31. Therefore, the step portion 30a1 is formed in a substantially triangular shape.

[0019] In addition, a resilient locking portion 35 is provided at the end on the base end portion 31 side. The resilient locking portion 35 is formed in a hook shape when viewed from the front-rear direction so that a locking projection 35d protruding outward is formed. The resilient locking portion 35 has a resilient locking portion 35b provided continuously with the support side edge plate 30b, and a resilient locking portion 35c provided continuously with the support side edge plate 30c. The resilient locking portions 35b and 35c are provided on both sides of the abutment portion 34 via slits 35a. The resilient locking portions 35b and 35c are connected at the top to the rear side of the support body plate 30a by a reinforcing plate 35e whose plate surface is in the up-down direction.

[0020] In a normal state, the locking projection 35d of the resilient locking portion 35 of the arc-shaped support portion 30 is located below the locked portion 125e, and the arc-shaped support portion 30 is locked and fixed to the fixed portion 125. When the arc-shaped support portion 30 is pressed downward from above or upward from below, etc., and a load is applied to the arc-shaped support portion 30, the arc-shaped support portion 30 rotates counterclockwise or clockwise as viewed from the front. At this time, the arc-shaped contact surface 34a allows the arc-shaped support portion 30 to rotate smoothly counterclockwise or clockwise. Then, the resilient locking portions 35b and 35c in FIG. 4 narrow the gap of the slit 35a against the resilient force, and the resilient locking portion 35b on the left side of FIG. 4 or the resilient locking portion 35c on the right side of FIG. 4 escapes from the locked portion 125e first. Then, the right-side resilient locking portion 35c or the left-side resilient locking portion 35b also comes out of the locked portion 125e.

[0021] 2 and 3, the tip 33 of the arc-shaped support 30 is provided with a shaft support 36 formed in a cloud shape similar to the support base 120. As shown in FIG. 6, the shaft support 36 is attached to the tip 33 of the arc-shaped support 30. Specifically, the shaft support 36 is fixed to the tip 33 by fitting four bosses 33b provided on the tip 33 into four boss holes (not shown) of the shaft support 36. By fixing the shaft support 36 to the tip 33, a bearing portion 37 is formed by bearing surfaces 33a and 36a consisting of semi-cylindrical surfaces provided on the tip 33 and the shaft support 36, respectively, as shown in FIG.

[0022] The bearing portion 37 is provided as a hole penetrating in the vertical direction. The bearing portion 37 has a large diameter portion 37a on the upper side. A support surface portion 37b having a smaller diameter than the large diameter portion 37a is provided below the large diameter portion 37a. A step portion 37a1 is formed at the connection portion between the large diameter portion 37a and the support surface portion 37b. The lower side of the support surface portion 37b is provided with a shaft outer circumferential surface portion 37c having a larger diameter than the support surface portion 37b and a smaller diameter than the large diameter portion 37a.

[0023] The rotating shaft 43 is provided at its upper end with a flower-shaped portion 43a that resembles a sunflower, and the rotating shaft 43 is formed to resemble a sunflower stem. The upper side of the rotating shaft 43 is a straight portion 43b that is linear, and the lower side is a wavy portion 43c that is curved in a wavy shape. The lower end of the rotating shaft 43 is provided with an annular locking ring 43d. The straight portion 43b is provided with a disk-shaped disk portion 43e that is concentric with the rotating shaft 43. In this way, the rotating shaft 43 is provided at the tip portion 33 of the arc-shaped support portion 30 so as to be rotatable, and at least downward movement is restricted.

[0024] The rotor 42 has a locking portion 42a that is detachably locked to a locking ring 43d of the rotary shaft 43. The locking portion 42a is provided at the upper end of the umbrella-shaped rotor 42. The locking portion 42a has hook-shaped locking pieces 42a1 and 42a2 that are arranged in a C-shaped ring shape facing each other. The locking pieces 42a1 and 42a2 are provided with locking projections 42a3 at the tips of the locking pieces 42a1 and 42a2, which protrude in directions facing each other. The locking projections 42a3 have a C-chamfered tip and a stepped lower side.

[0025] 6, a side surface 42a31 of a lower portion of the locking projection 42a3 is formed in a convex arc shape, so that the rotating body 42 can smoothly swing in the direction in which the side surface 42a31 slides against the locking ring 43d.

[0026] When the rotor 42 is pulled downward with a predetermined force, the locking ring 43d of the rotating shaft 43 enters between the locking projections 42a3 of the locking pieces 42a1, 42a2 and escapes from the locking ring 43d against the elastic force of the locking pieces 42a1, 42a2. Since the tip portions of the locking pieces 42a1, 42a2 are chamfered, the rotor 42 can be easily attached by inserting the locking ring 43d between the locking pieces 42a1, 42a2.

[0027] In addition, the escape force (the force pulling the rotor 42 downward) that causes the rotor 42 to escape from the locking ring 43d is smaller than the elastic force of the elastic locking portion 35 of the arc-shaped support portion 30. Therefore, even if the rotor 42 is pulled downward, the rotor 42 escapes from the locking ring 43d first, and therefore the arc-shaped support portion 30 does not escape from the fixed portion 125.

[0028] Contrary to this embodiment, the locking portion 42a of the rotor 42 may be formed in an annular shape, and the locking ring 43d of the rotary shaft 43d may be formed in a C-shaped ring shape.

[0029] According to the embodiment of the present invention as described above, it is possible to provide a support structure for a doll play toy having the following features.

[0030] The support structure for a doll play toy in the first aspect is a support member extending upward from a base end and extending downward through an intermediate portion, the tip end being provided with a supported body, the base end having an abutment portion with an arc-shaped abutment surface and a resilient engagement portion, and a fixed portion fixed to a main body of the doll play toy, the fixed portion having an abutment portion that abuts with the abutment portion and an engaged portion that engages with the resilient engagement portion in a releasable manner.

[0031] With this configuration, even if a downward force is applied to the arch-shaped support member, the support member rotates smoothly because the arc-shaped abutment surface abuts the abutted part, the resilient engaging part is released from the engaged part, and the support member comes out of the fixed part. Therefore, damage to the connection part between the support member attached to the main body of the doll toy and the main body of the doll toy can be reduced.

[0032] In the supporting structure for a doll play toy according to the second aspect, the supporting member is formed in an arc shape.

[0033] This configuration provides a support member with excellent design.

[0034] The support structure for a toy for playing with dolls according to the third aspect is the support structure for a toy for playing with dolls described in claim 1, wherein the resilient engaging portion is provided on both sides of the abutment portion via a slit, and the engaged portion is provided on the edge of the opening.

[0035] According to this configuration, the resilient force of the resilient engaging portion can be easily formed as a leaf spring due to the structure of the constituent members.

[0036] In the support structure for a doll play toy in the fourth aspect, the supported body has a rotation shaft that is rotatably attached to the support member with the vertical direction as the rotation axis, and a rotating body that is detachably attached to the rotation shaft, and the release force of the rotating body from the rotation shaft is smaller than the elastic force of the resilient engagement part.

[0037] With this configuration, even if the rotating body supported by the support member is pulled, the engagement between the rotating shaft and the rotating body is released first, and the engagement between the support member and the fixed part is maintained. Therefore, if a toy such as a rotating swing is used as the supported object and the engagement structure of the rotating body is simplified, the rotating body, which is easy to pull, can be easily engaged and disengaged, and the engagement and disengagement of the support member can be reserved for emergency use.

[0038] In the support structure for a toy for playing with dolls according to a fifth aspect, the rotating body is provided with a plurality of swings on which dolls can be placed.

[0039] According to this configuration, the risk of breakage of the doll play toy equipped with the swinging swing can be reduced.

[0040] 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]
