Modes for Carrying Out the Invention

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

[0010] Toy 1 can take the first form 1F which is flat and integrated as shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, and the second form 2F which forms a three-dimensional shape after being separated from and assembled with the first form 1F (see FIG. 6). In the first form 1F, as shown in FIG. 1, the first part 11 in the shape of the character C, the second part 12 that can support the first part 11 in the second form 2F, and the third part 13 that holds the first part 11 and the second part 12 from the outside in the first form 1F are included, and the main body 10 is constituted.

[0011] The main body 10 is substantially rectangularly constituted by the first end 10a to the fourth end 10d whose outer peripheral edge is a straight end. Also, the upper first end 10a, the left third end 10c, and the right fourth end 10d in the figure are constituted by the third part 13, and the lower second end 10b is constituted by the second part 12. In the toy 1 in the first form 1F, the first part 11 and the second part 12 are arranged side by side vertically, and the third part 13 is provided so as to surround the periphery thereof. Each of these part 11, 12, 13 is provided adjacent to each other with the main body slit 10s therebetween.

[0012] Thus, in the first form 1F, only the first part 11 constituting the character C does not constitute the outer peripheral edge of the main body in the first form 1F. Thereby, in the first form 1F, the character C is surrounded and protected by the third part 13 and the second part 12.

[0013] In the first form 1F, the third part portion 13 is separated from the first part portion 11 and the second part portion 12 by the main body portion slit 10s, but holds both part portions 11, 12 via the partial connection portion 20. As shown in an enlarged view of the blowout portion in FIG. 1, this partial connection portion 20 is a connection portion with a small width and can be formed, for example, from a resin flow path during molding. Further, the third part portion 13 is provided with a color for decorating the character C as necessary, and character text information 35 displaying the name and title of the character C is provided.

[0014] The first part portion 11 is a character C having a head portion Ch, a body portion Cb, and leg portions Cd, and its outer periphery has an uneven shape. However, the portion that does not constitute the character C at the lower part of the leg portions Cd forms a substantially rectangular shape and is configured as a mounting portion 11b in the second form 2F.

[0015] The second part portion 12 has a first support portion 12a in the center and second support portions 12b on the left and right thereof, and text information 30 is formed on the first support portion 12a. This text information 30 can be seen from the front in the first form 1F, and can also be seen from the front side in the display state in the second form 2F.

[0016] The main body portion 10 is configured such that its overall shape is curved as shown in FIG. 2. This curved shape is, for example, a curved shape in which the leg portions Cd and the head portion Ch protrude to the front side (the front side when the character C is viewed from the front) of the body portion Cb in the vertical direction of the character C.

[0017] FIG. 3 is a front view showing the separated state of the first part portion 11 and the second part portion 12, and FIG. 4 is a front view showing the separated state of the third part portion 13.

[0018] The main body part 10 is made of a relatively hard resin (hard member) by injection molding, punching, etc., and can be separated as shown in FIGS. 3 and 4. The main body part 10 is configured such that all of its parts do not bend in the first form 1F. On the other hand, after separation as shown in FIG. 3, the second part 12 is bent at the site of the bending line 12m and used in the second form 2F. This bending line 12m is configured to be thinner, for example, so that it can be bent more easily than other parts.

[0019] The mounting part 11b that does not constitute the character C is configured such that its lateral width (L1) is longer than the lateral width (L2) of the leg part Cd as shown in FIG. 3, and is configured to be stably held in the mounted state (see FIG. 6).

[0020] As described above, the second part 12 has one first support part 12a and two left and right second support parts 12b by the slit 12s and the bending line 12m, and thus can be bent as described later. Further, in the second part 12, the upper ends 12u of the first support part 12a and the second support parts 12b extend linearly in the left - right direction, but only the lower ends 12d of the second support parts 12b are inclined upward as they go to both the left and right ends.

[0021] As shown in FIG. 3, the bending line 12m is configured to be inclined at a predetermined angle θ with respect to the formation direction of the slit 12s, for example, such that the lower side opens in the direction of the left - right outside.

[0022] Further, as shown in FIG. 4, after separation from the third part 13, the first part 11 and the second part 12 are configured to be attachable to the third part 13 again. That is, at the time of separation, the partial connection part 20 is broken and separated, but because the broken pieces of the partial connection part 20 remain, each part 11, 12, 13 can be attached so as to be hooked by the broken pieces.

[0023] FIG. 5 is a perspective view of the bent state of the second part 12. In the second form 2F, the second support part 12b is configured to be foldable with respect to the first support part 12a. And the groove part 12g is formed by the slit 12s and the fold line 12m before folding. That is, as shown in FIG. 5, when the second part 12 is folded backward (to the left in the figure) at an angle of approximately 90 degrees, the slit 12s is formed as a cut-shaped groove part 12g along the width direction of the second part 12.

[0024] In addition, a curved part 12i of the slit 12s is provided between the slit 12s and the fold line 12m. The curved part 12i that curves so as to bulge on both the left and right sides is formed in a state where the convex part 12j of the contour of the curved part 12i remains along the first support part 12a when the second support part 12b is folded at the part of the fold line 12m. By forming this convex part 12j, the folded part is less likely to crack on the extension line of the slit 12s. Also, even when the folding part is folded in a slightly inaccurate way, the lower part of the curved part 12i becomes a part that supports the lower end edge 11d of the mounting part 11b.

[0025] The groove part 12g is configured such that the width of the groove part 12g varies according to the part. For example, the groove part 12g has a first length (d1) formed as its width at the first part 12ga on the end side in the width direction (maintaining the vertical direction in the figure) of the second part 12. Also, the second part 12gb inside the width direction from the first part 12ga is formed with a second length (d2) that is longer than the first length (d1).

[0026] FIG. 6 is a perspective view seen from the front direction in the second form 2F of the toy 1, and FIG. 7 is a perspective view seen from the side direction in the second form 2F of the toy 1.

[0027] In the second form 2F, as shown in FIG. 6, the toy 1 is configured to be movable in the horizontal direction with the first part portion 11 supported by the second part portion 12. That is, as shown in FIG. 7, the second support portion 12b is appropriately clamped by the tip edge 12t of the second support portion 12b and the first support portion 12a in the groove portion 12g with pressure. By being held in this way, the first part portion 11 can slide left and right while being held.

[0028] Also, in the second form 2F, as shown in FIG. 7, when the second part portion 12 is placed on the placement portion 40, due to the inclined structure of the lower end portion 12d, the upper sides of the first support portion 12a and the groove portion 12g are inclined backward. As a result, the first part portion 11 is placed in an inclined state. In this state, the first part portion 11 is in a state where the head Ch of the character C rises above the body Cb, that is, in a state of being inclined backward and curved forward so that the upper side stands up.

[0029] As described above, in the toy 1 of this aspect, in the first form 1F, since the first part portion 11 and the second part portion 12 have a flat plate shape, the circulation property can be improved. In the second form 2F, since it has a three-dimensional shape, it becomes possible to enjoy the toy 1 in ways such as displaying it. In particular, in the toy 1 of this aspect, the third part portion 13 holds the first part portion 11 and the second part portion 12 adjacent to them in the first form 1F, so it can be made into a single flat plate shape and the handling property can be significantly improved.

[0030] In the toy 1 of this aspect, since the main body portion 10 is configured to be at least partially curved in the first form 1F, it is easy to grasp and has good handling property when placed on a flat surface. Also, in the separation operation between the part portions, it is easy to apply force and has good operability.

[0031] In the toy 1 of this aspect, the first part portion 11 is configured such that the head portion Ch and the leg portion Cd curve toward the front side with respect to the torso portion Cb of the character C. Thus, when the toy is supported and stood on the second part portion 12, the curvature can be utilized to stand it up. For example, since the character C is configured such that its head portion Ch and leg portion Cd curve toward the front side, even when the character C is installed to be slightly tilted backward when viewed from the front side, the head portion Ch can be stably installed facing forward.

[0032] In the toy 1 of this aspect, since the first part portion 11 includes a linear attachment portion 11b that does not form the character C, the character C can be easily displayed by simply inserting the attachment portion 11b into the groove portions 12g formed at both left and right ends of, for example, the flat first support portion 12a.

[0033] Also, in the toy 1 of this aspect, since the attachment portion 11b is configured such that its lateral width is longer than the lateral width of the leg portion Cd of the character C, the attachment position of the first part portion 11 with respect to the second part portion 12 can be moved in the horizontal direction, and the display state can be changed.

[0034] In the toy 1 of this aspect, since the second support portions 12b on both left and right end portions of the first support portion 12a of the second part portion 12 are configured to bend, the second part portion 12 can be stood on the placement portion 40. Also, since the lower end portions 12d of the portions where the second support portions 12b on both left and right end portions bend form inclined edges, the first support portion 12a can be stood in an inclined state.

[0035] Further, since the curved portion 12i of the slit 12s is provided between the slit 12s and the folding line 12m, when folded at the portion of the folding line 12m, the convex portion 12j of the contour of the curved portion 12i is formed along the first support portion 12a. As a result, troubles such as the folded portion cracking on the extension line of the slit 12s can be avoided. Further, even when the folding portion is folded in a slightly inaccurate manner, a groove portion 12g that can reliably support the lower end edge of the mounting portion 11b can be formed by the lower portion of the curved portion 12i.

[0036] In the toy 1 of this embodiment, in the second form 2F in which the second support portion 12b is folded with respect to the first support portion 12a, a groove portion 12g capable of supporting the first part portion 11 can be formed by the slit 12s provided close to the folding line 12m. Further, since the formation direction of the folding line 12m and the slit 12s is inclined, when the second part portion 12 is folded 90 degrees along the folding line 12m, the width of the groove portion 12g can be changed.

[0037] Furthermore, the width of the groove portion 12g is configured such that the width of the first portion 12ga on the end side in the width direction of the second part portion 12 is smaller than the width of the second portion 12gb on the inner side rather than the end side. Thereby, the first part portion 11 inserted into the groove portion 12g is more strongly clamped and firmly supported by the narrow side of the groove portion 12g.

[0038] In the toy 1 of this embodiment, since the text information 30 is formed on the first support portion 12a, in the first form 1F and the second form 2F, information related to the character C can be enjoyed. In particular, in the second form 2F, the text information 30 is displayed on the front surface in the display state, and the display state can be effectively produced.

[0039] As described above, the embodiments of the present invention have been described, but the present invention can be appropriately modified within the scope of its technical idea. For example, in the above embodiment, the width of the slit 12s is the same width in its longitudinal direction (formation direction), but the present invention is not limited to this configuration, and for example, a configuration in which the width gradually varies in the longitudinal direction of the slit may be used.

[0040] In addition, in the above aspect, the bending line 12m is configured to be provided in one (one) direction following the slit 12s, but the present invention is not limited to this, and a plurality of bending lines may be provided.

[0041] In addition, in the above aspect, the width of the groove portion 12g is configured such that the width of the first portion 12ga on the end side is smaller than the width of the second portion 12gb on the inner side. Conversely, the width of the first portion 12ga may be larger than the width of the second portion 12gb on the inner side.

[0042] In addition, in the above aspect, the third end portion 10c and the fourth end portion 10d have a curved structure located on the front side, but the present invention is not limited to this configuration. For example, the first end portion 10a and the second end portion 10b may have a configuration that curves in the left - right direction.
