Embodiments for Carrying Out the Invention

[0009] Hereinafter, the toy 1 which is one aspect of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 is a perspective view of the toy 1 in the first form 1F, and FIG. 2 is a side view of the toy 1 in the first form 1F.

[0010] As shown in FIG. 1, the toy 1 in the first form 1F is externally in a capsule form and has a spherical shape. This toy 1 in the first form 1F includes two hemispherical first and second outer shell parts 12(121, 122), a plurality of pedestal parts 11 housed in the outer shell parts 12 so as to form the outer shell 10s of the first and second outer shell parts 12, and a plurality of disk-shaped frame parts 13 (third outer shell parts) provided between the first and second outer shell parts 12.

[0011] The main body part 5 of the toy 1 (see FIGS. 3 and 4) is composed of the pedestal part 11, the first and second outer shell parts 121, 122, and parts (main parts) that form the spherical shape of the frame part 13, and accessory parts 30 (game cards) described later. This main body part 5 is formed using synthetic resin as a material. In the spherical first form 1F shown in FIG. 1, it has a rollable configuration that is easy to roll by itself and can take a supply / sales form from an article supply device. In the first form 1F, it is appropriately wrapped with a wrapping film 50 as needed.

[0012] In the first form 1F, the first outer shell part 121, the second outer shell part 122, and the frame part 13 form an outer shell 10s that is spherical and has a continuous outer surface as shown in the figure. Therefore, in the first form, the accessory part 30 is provided in a state where it is not exposed to the outside, does not form the outer shell 10s, and cannot be visually observed. The outer surfaces of the first outer shell part 121 and the second outer shell part 122 have the same shape, and the frame part 13 (third outer shell part) has a shape different from the outer surfaces of the first outer shell part 121 and the second outer shell part 122.

[0013] Also, as a game toy different from the first form 1F, the toy 1 assumes a disassembled and separated non-spherical form. For example, it can be changed to a second form 2F (see FIG. 10) in which the accessory 30 is placed on the pedestal part 11 of the main part and can be played as a game toy such as Mahjong or Donjara.

[0014] FIG. 3 is a perspective view of the toy 1 shown in FIG. 1 during disassembly, and FIG. 4 is a perspective view showing the disassembled state of the toy 1. As shown in FIG. 3, a plurality of the pedestal parts 11 are accommodated in the upper first outer shell part 121 in the figure. And one end part and the other end part of the plurality of accommodated pedestal parts 11 form a part of the outer shell 10s in the first form 1F. Also, the lower second outer shell part 122 in the figure has the same configuration (the outer surface has the same shape) as the first outer shell part 121, and the pedestal part 11 accommodated in the second outer shell part 122 has exactly the same configuration.

[0015] Also, the pedestal part 11 is configured, for example, by connecting three members at both ends and in the middle in the longitudinal direction to form one pedestal part (see FIG. 7). Therefore, divided into the first and second outer shell parts 121 and 122, a total of eight pedestal parts 11 (11A, 11B, 11C, 11D) at both ends, four by four, and a total of four intermediate pedestal parts 11E, two by two, are accommodated in the first and second outer shell parts 121 and 122.

[0016] The frame part 13 is circular and flat, and is provided in a state where, for example, eight members having substantially the same external appearance shape are sandwiched in a laminated state between the upper and lower first and second outer shell parts 121 and 122 that accommodate the pedestal part 11. Also, as shown in FIG. 4, the frame part 13 includes seven frame parts 13A provided with a large number of accessories 30 and one holding frame part 13B. In the center of the frame main body part 14a of the holding frame part 13B, a shaft part 14b standing upright with respect to the frame main body part 14a is provided. On the other hand, the frame part 13A having the accessory 30 has a through hole 13h in the center thereof. Therefore, the shaft part 14b positions and holds the frame part 13A so as to penetrate the through hole 13h.

[0017] Further, three small holes 13f are formed on the outer peripheral edges of the frame parts 13A and 13B, and are configured such that the shaft pins 12p provided on the first and second outer shell parts 121 and 122 can be fitted therein. Thereby, the frame parts 13A and 13B arranged on the first and second outer shell parts 121 and 122 sides are positioned. Further, the shaft part 14b and the through hole 13h are not circular in cross-sectional shape, and are configured, for example, in a semi-circular shape (see FIG. 5) as shown in the drawing, so that the stacking direction of the frame parts 13A and 13B can be determined.

[0018] FIG. 5 is a plan view of the frame part 13. FIG. 6 is a perspective view of the sub-component 30, where (a) is a perspective view showing the front side of the sub-component 30, and (b) is a perspective view showing the back side of the sub-component 30. As shown in FIG. 5, the frame part 13A holding the sub-component 30 includes, for example, three straight parts 13a radially from the central part toward the outer peripheral end 13c. A plurality of sub-components 30 are held on this straight part 13a via connecting parts 13b arranged in the circumferential direction. This straight part 13a and the connecting part 13b constitute a runner during injection molding. Further, each end of the connecting part 13b constitutes a gate G of a mold into which resin flows. Therefore, by cutting and separating the gate G part, the sub-component 30 as shown in FIG. 6 can be taken out. Thereby, it can be placed on the pedestal part 11 and can be used in the game.

[0019] The sub-component 30 constitutes a tile used in the game. As shown in FIG. 6(a), for example, a specific character 31 is drawn on the surface 30a of one side thereof. This character 31 is set such that there are a plurality of the same ones. On the back side 30b of the sub-component 30, as shown in FIG. 6(b), there is no pattern or the same pattern as that on the front side is drawn.

[0020] FIG. 7 is an exploded perspective view showing the storage structure of the pedestal portion 11 in the toy 1. FIG. 8 is an enlarged perspective view of the connection structure of the pedestal portion 11 shown in FIG. 7. FIG. 9 is a perspective view showing how to assemble the pedestal portion 11, where (a) is a perspective view during assembly and (b) is a perspective view of the assembled state. Note that since the first outer shell component 121 and the second outer shell component 122 have the same configuration for accommodating the pedestal portion 11, the description of the second outer shell component 122 side is omitted.

[0021] As shown in FIG. 7, the pedestal portions 11A, 11B, 11C, and 11D accommodated in the first outer shell component 121 are accommodated in a state of being connected by a connecting member 16 so as to close the first outer shell component 121 from above the two intermediate pedestal portions 11E (see FIG. 4). Note that one end portion 11i of each pedestal portion 11 constitutes the outer shell 10s so as to close the notch portion 12k of the first outer shell component 121.

[0022] Here, as shown in FIG. 8, the connecting member 16 is provided with a rectangular opening 16h at the center of a rectangular flat portion 16a. And on one side surface of the flat portion 16a, four L-shaped protruding walls 16b are protruding corresponding to the corner portions of the opening 16h, and a cross-shaped cross groove 16c is formed. Therefore, the four pedestal portions 11A, 11B, 11C, and 11D are in a state of being in contact with each other with their corner protrusions 11d on the back surface side aligned, and the cross groove 16c is fitted into the side wall portion 11w. Thereby, the pedestal portions 11A, 11B, 11C, and 11D are detachably fixed.

[0023] When assembling the pedestal portion 11, as shown in FIG. 9(a), the connecting hooks 15b provided on the lower sides of both ends of the intermediate pedestal portion 11E are fitted and connected to the side wall portions 11w of the pedestal portions 11A and 11B on both ends. Thereby, a vertically long pedestal portion 11 as shown in FIG. 9(b) is configured. And when playing a game, the sub-component 30 can be placed upright in the tile holding groove 11g formed on the front side of this pedestal portion 11 (see FIG. 10).

[0024] FIG. 10 is a perspective view showing the second form 2F of the toy 1. In the second form 2F, a game can be played with four pedestal parts 11 and a number of sub-components 30. Note that the runner parts of the first outer shell part 121, the second outer shell part 122, and the frame part 13 are unused parts in the second form 2F.

[0025] As shown in Fig. 10, the assembled pedestal part 11 is arranged on the mounting surface 60 such that each of the first pedestal part 111, the second pedestal part 112, the third pedestal part 113, and the fourth pedestal part 114 forms a square partition region DS while being spaced apart from each other. The sub-components 30 are placed upright in the character holding grooves 11g of the pedestal part 11 with a plurality of sub-components 30 arranged in a row so that the character 31 faces the front side of the player. Also, the sub-components 30 can be arranged within the partition region DS. And a combination game can be played using a plurality of sets of the character 31.

[0026] As described above, in the first form 1F of the main body part 5 of the toy 1 of this aspect, since its outer shell 10s is spherical, it can roll and can be supplied from the article supply device. Further, since the toy 1 in capsule form supplied from the article supply device can be configured to be changed into a game toy using the parts forming the outer shell 10s in capsule form and the sub-components 30 housed inside the capsule, the game can be enjoyed easily.

[0027] Also, in the toy 1 of this aspect, the sub-component 30 with the character 31 formed thereon is configured to be not visually recognizable from the outside in the first form 1F, so there is a fun element that can only be seen for the first time when disassembled.

[0028] In the toy 1 of this aspect, the first outer shell part 121 and the second outer shell part 122 of the main components are each configured to be detachable from a plurality of pedestal parts 11, so the pedestal part 11 during the game can be firmly held and stored.

[0029] In addition, in the toy 1 of this embodiment, the first outer shell component 121 and the second outer shell component 122 are held in contact with each other with respect to the plurality of pedestals 11 in the first form 1F. Therefore, the outer surface of the outer shell 10s formed by the two outer shell components 121 and 122 can be firmly fixed.

[0030] In addition, in the first form 1F, the first outer shell component 121, the second outer shell component 122, and the laminated frame component 13 constitute the continuous outer surface of the outer shell 10s. Therefore, the outer surface can be formed into a continuous spherical shape, and the internal sub-components 30 can be protected.

[0031] In the toy 1 of this embodiment, each pedestal 11 can form a rectangular partition region DS on the placement surface, enabling games such as mahjong and donjara.

[0032] According to the toy 1 of this embodiment, since the character image is displayed on at least one surface of the sub-component 30, games using the character can be enjoyed.

[0033] In the toy 1 of this embodiment, the sub-component 30 is held by the frame component 13 that constitutes the main body part 5, so it is firmly fixed in the first form. In addition, since the frame component 13 is sandwiched between the first and second outer shell components 121 and 122 in the first form, it does not move.

[0034] In the toy 1 of this embodiment, since the plurality of frame components 13 are formed with through holes 13h in the central part, in the first form 1F, by inserting the shaft component 14b into the through holes 13h, the first outer shell component 121 and the second outer shell component 122 can rotate, and it is easy to position a plurality of them and maintain the laminated state.

[0035] In the toy 1 of this embodiment, the frame component 13 includes a plurality of radial straight portions 13a extending from the central part to the outer peripheral end in the first form 1F, and the sub-component 30 is provided on the straight portion 13a. Therefore, the straight portion 13a can be used as a runner during injection molding.

[0036] As described above, the embodiments of the present invention have been explained. However, the present invention can be appropriately modified within the scope of its technical idea. For example, in the above aspect, although one pedestal portion 11 is configured to be divided into three parts in its longitudinal direction, the present invention is not limited to this. For example, it may have a two-divided structure or even a non-divided structure.
