Mode for Carrying Out the Invention

[0009] (First Embodiment) The first embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. 1 to 3. As shown in FIG. 1, the pedestal (hereinafter referred to as "pedestal 10") of the decorative body forming toy according to the present embodiment is formed in a substantially cylindrical shape having an upper surface (hereinafter referred to as "pedestal surface 10a") by injection molding using a resin material and having a hollow interior. As shown in FIG. 2, in the pedestal 10, a plurality of spiral decorative bodies D are created along the peripheral edge of the pedestal surface 10a.

[0010] The decorative body D is formed by discharging the cream-like material enclosed in the extruder 50 (see Fig. 3) from the discharge port 50a of the extruder 50, that is, from the nozzle part, and mounting it on the pedestal surface 10a. The cream-like material constituting the decorative body D is formed by incorporating a preservative or the like into a synthetic resin such as an acrylic resin, and solidifies when it comes into contact with air and dries. This cream-like material can be formed in various colors such as white and pink. In the pedestal 10, the user can easily form an aggregate of decorative bodies imitating a decorated cake and have fun by creating a plurality of decorative bodies D on the pedestal surface 10a.

[0011] On the pedestal surface 10a, a plurality of discharge port support portions 20 are provided for receiving the cream-like material discharged from the extruder 50 and forming the decorative body D. Each discharge port support portion 20 is provided along the peripheral edge of the pedestal surface 10a corresponding to the position where each decorative body D is formed. Further, each discharge port support portion 20 is provided with a thickness that can be inserted into the discharge port 50a of the extruder 50. In the example shown in the present embodiment, eleven discharge port support portions 20 are provided at substantially equal intervals on the circumference centered on the central portion 10C of the pedestal surface 10a.

[0012] Each discharge port support portion 20 has a tapered shape and is constituted by a protruding portion 22 that rises from the pedestal surface 10a in a protruding shape at an acute angle with respect to the pedestal surface 10a. That is, the protruding portion 22 rises in an inclined shape from the pedestal surface 10a. The protruding portions 22 of each discharge port support portion 20 rise counterclockwise on the peripheral edge of the substantially circular pedestal surface 10a. The tip portion 22a of each protruding portion 22 is a flat surface parallel to the pedestal surface 10a. Note that an opening 10b that opens so as to penetrate the pedestal surface 10a is provided in a portion of the pedestal surface 10a located below each discharge port support portion 20.

[0013] As shown in FIG. 2, an annular convex portion 30 is provided on the outer periphery of each discharge port support portion 20 on the pedestal surface 10a. The annular convex portion 30 is a convex portion that protrudes slightly upward, and is provided annularly so as to surround the discharge port support portion 20. In the substantially circular pedestal surface 10a, for each annular convex portion 30, the portion located outside the circle of the tip end portion 22a of the protrusion portion 22 is defined as a starting point portion 30S formed in a circular shape, and the portion located inside the circle is defined as an end point portion 30E formed in an arrow shape. Each annular convex portion 30 is provided in a substantially arc shape that is nearly circular and continuous from the starting point portion 30S to the end point portion 30E.

[0014] Next, a procedure for mounting a cream-like substance on the pedestal surface 10a, that is, a procedure for forming the decorative body D will be described. First, as shown in FIG. 3, the discharge port 50a of the squeegee 50 is tilted so as to be substantially equal to the rising angle of the protrusion portion 22 of the discharge port support portion 20, and the discharge port 50a is inserted into the protrusion portion 22. Thereby, the discharge port 50a is held in a tilted state along the rising angle of the protrusion portion 22.

[0015] Since the tip end portion 22a of the protrusion portion 22 is a flat surface, compared with the case where the tip end portion 22a is pointed, it is easier to insert the discharge port 50a into the protrusion portion 22, and the discharge port 50a inserted into the protrusion portion 22 is less likely to wobble. Further, compared with the case where the tip end portion 22a is pointed, when the user accidentally touches the tip end portion 22a of the protrusion portion 22, there is no risk of injury or the like, so the safety can be improved.

[0016] Next, while maintaining the discharge port 50a in a tilted state along the rising angle of the protrusion portion 22, it is removed from the protrusion portion 22 and moved onto the starting point portion 30S of the annular convex portion 30. Then, while discharging the cream-like substance from the discharge port 50a, the discharge port 50a is slowly moved along the annular convex portion 30 from the starting point portion 30S to the end point portion 30E of the annular convex portion 30, and the cream-like substance is mounted on the annular convex portion 30. Thereby, a spiral decorative body D is formed on the annular convex portion 30 (see FIG. 2). Note that the thickness of the protrusion portion 22 can be appropriately changed according to the size of the opening of the discharge port 50a of the squeegee 50 to be used.

[0017] Thus, the annular convex portion 30 functions as a guide when forming the decorative body D on the pedestal surface 10a. As a result, when forming the decorative body D, it is possible to prevent the cream-like material from flowing to an unintended location on the pedestal surface 10a, and the contour of the applied cream-like material is maintained in a neatly shaped form. Further, when forming a plurality of decorative bodies D on the pedestal surface 10a, the provision of the annular convex portion 30 enables the distance between two adjacent decorative bodies D to be made uniform. For this reason, even a young child can easily form an aesthetically pleasing spiral-shaped decorative body D on the pedestal surface 10a.

[0018] When forming a plurality of decorative bodies D on the pedestal surface 10a, after once stopping the discharge of the cream-like material from the discharge port 50a at the end point portion 30E, the discharge port 50a is inserted into the protrusion 22 of the discharge port support portion 20 adjacent to the formed decorative body D, and in the same procedure, the decorative body D is formed on the annular convex portion 30 adjacent to the formed decorative body D. In this way, 11 consecutive decorative bodies D can be formed on the pedestal surface 10a of the present embodiment.

[0019] Further, since the opening 10b is provided below each discharge port support portion 20, the excess cream-like material that is accidentally discharged when moving the discharge port 50a from the protrusion 22 to the start point portion 30S or is excessively discharged at the start of the discharge of the cream-like material at the start point portion 30S falls into the cavity inside the pedestal 10 through the opening 10b. Therefore, an aesthetically pleasing spiral-shaped decorative body D can be formed more effectively on the pedestal surface 10a.

[0020] (Second Embodiment) Next, a second embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIG. 4. The pedestal 110 of the decorative body forming toy according to the second embodiment is different from the pedestal 10 of the first embodiment in its shape, and the arrangement and number of each discharge port support portion 120. Since the configuration of each discharge port support portion 120 is the same as that of the first embodiment, the description thereof will be omitted. In FIG. 4, the members obtained by adding the number 100 to each reference numeral shown in FIG. 1 are the same members as those described in the first embodiment.

[0021] As shown in FIG. 4, the pedestal 110 of the ornament forming toy according to the second embodiment (hereinafter referred to as "pedestal 110") is formed into a horizontally long substantially rectangular parallelepiped shape having an upper surface (hereinafter referred to as "pedestal surface 110a") by injection molding using a resin material, and the inside thereof is hollow. On the pedestal surface 110a, four spiral ornaments are formed along the longitudinal direction of the pedestal surface 110a. Hereinafter, the left side shown in FIG. 4 in the longitudinal direction of the pedestal surface 110a is defined as the left side of the pedestal 110, the opposite side is defined as the right side of the pedestal 110, the front side shown in FIG. 4 in the short side direction of the pedestal surface 110a is defined as the front of the pedestal 110, and the opposite side is defined as the rear of the pedestal 110 for explanation.

[0022] On the pedestal surface 110a, four discharge port support portions 120 are provided along the longitudinal direction of the pedestal surface 110a. An annular convex portion 130 is provided on the outer periphery of each discharge port support portion 120. In the pedestal surface 110a, a portion of the annular convex portion 130 located on the front side of the tip portion 122a of the protrusion 122 is defined as a starting point portion 130S formed in a circular shape, and a portion located on the rear side is defined as an end point portion 130E formed in a wavy line shape.

[0023] Also in the pedestal 110 of the present embodiment configured as described above, an ornament can be formed on the pedestal surface 110a in the same procedure as the pedestal 10 of the first embodiment. That is, the discharge port 50a of the constrictor 50 is inserted into the protrusion 122 of the discharge port support portion 120, the discharge port 50a is removed from the protrusion 122 in that posture, and while slowly moving the discharge port 50a from the starting point portion 130S to the end point portion 130E, a cream topping is placed on the annular convex portion 130. Thereby, a spiral ornament is formed on the annular convex portion 130. Four ornaments can be continuously formed on the pedestal surface 110a of the present embodiment. In this way, even a young child can easily form a beautifully looking spiral ornament on the pedestal surface 110a.

[0024] According to the embodiment of the present invention as described above, a pedestal of an ornament forming toy of the following aspect can be provided.

[0025] The pedestal of the ornament forming toy according to the first aspect is a pedestal of an ornament forming toy in which an ornament is created by receiving a cream-like material discharged from an extruder, and has a discharge port support portion that rises in a protruding shape at an acute angle from the pedestal surface of the pedestal of the ornament forming toy and can be inserted into the discharge port of the extruder.

[0026] According to this configuration, the user of the pedestal tilts and inserts the discharge port of the extruder for the cream-like material so that it is substantially equal to the rising angle of the discharge port support portion, pulls out the discharge port from the discharge port support portion while maintaining this state, and discharges the cream-like material from the discharge port while slowly moving the discharge port around the discharge port support portion on the pedestal surface, thereby forming a spiral ornament made of the cream-like material around the discharge port. For this reason, even a young child can easily form a beautifully looking spiral ornament D on the pedestal surface.

[0027] In the pedestal of the ornament forming toy according to the second aspect, the discharge port support portion is tapered with a reduced diameter toward the tip portion and the tip portion is a flat surface.

[0028] According to this configuration, compared with the case where the tip portion of the discharge port support portion is pointed, it is easier to insert the discharge port of the extruder into the discharge port support portion, and the discharge port inserted into the discharge port support portion can be made less likely to wobble. Furthermore, it is possible to prevent injuries when the user accidentally touches the tip portion of the discharge port support portion.

[0029] In the pedestal of the ornament forming toy according to the third aspect, an opening is provided in a portion of the pedestal surface located below the discharge port support portion.

[0030] According to this configuration, when the discharge port of the extruder is pulled out from the discharge port support portion and moved to the discharge start point, the extra cream-like material that has been accidentally discharged or excessively discharged at the start of discharging the cream-like material falls to the back side of the pedestal surface through the opening, so that a beautifully looking spiral ornament can be more effectively formed on the pedestal surface.

[0031] The pedestal of the ornament forming toy of the fourth aspect has an annular convex portion provided on the outer periphery of the discharge port support portion.

[0032] According to this configuration, by discharging the cream-like material from the discharge port of the constrictor along the annular convex portion, the annular convex portion functions as a guide when forming the ornament on the pedestal surface. Therefore, even a young child can mound the cream-like material on the pedestal surface in a shape with a neat contour.

[0033] As described above, the embodiments of the present invention have been described. However, the present invention is not limited to the above embodiments, and various modifications are possible without departing from the gist thereof.
