[0009] Hereinafter, embodiments of the present disclosure will be described in detail with reference to the drawings. In the following description, the same components and the like are designated by the same reference numerals, and their names and functions are the same. Therefore, detailed description thereof will not be repeated.

[0010] In the following description, the terms "front," "rear," "left," "right," "upper," and "lower" may be used, but these directions are relative directions set for the convenience of explanation. In each figure, "F" is "front," "B" is "rear," "L" is "left," "R" is "right," "U" is "upper," and "D" is "lower."

[0011] [Configuration of toys with luminous toys] (Overall structure of the building toy) Here, a toy building 100 will be described as an example of a toy equipped with a light-emitting toy according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. Fig. 1 is a perspective view showing the overall configuration of the toy building 100 equipped with a light-emitting toy according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. Fig. 2 is a rear view of the toy building 100 shown in Fig. 1.

[0012] 1 and 2, the toy building 100 is a toy that resembles a two-story building, and is open on the back side (rear side). A player can place toys that resemble furniture inside the toy building 100 from the back side of the toy building 100 and play with dolls. The toy building 100 is also provided with lighting toys 10, 20, and 30, which are examples of light-emitting toys.

[0013] More specifically, referring to FIG. 2, lighting toys 10 and 20 are attached to the roof 101 of the toy building 100. In addition, lighting toy 30 is attached to the ceiling of the first floor of the toy building 100. Lighting toy 10 is a toy that imitates a multi-light lighting fixture such as a chandelier. Lighting toy 20 is a toy that imitates a single-light lighting fixture such as a bracket light. Lighting toy 30 is a toy that imitates a lighting fixture with a relatively large light range such as a ceiling light.

[0014] 3 and 4 are diagrams showing a detailed configuration of the lighting toy 10 shown in FIG. 2. The lighting toy 10 has a plurality of pairs of light guide bodies 11 and cover parts 12 provided so as to cover a part of the light guide bodies 11. The light guide bodies 11 are attached to the roof 101 of the toy building 100, for example, as shown in FIG. 1. The light guide bodies 11 are made of a transparent resin, for example, acrylic resin or general-purpose polystyrene, and guide external light, such as light from a room lamp in a room where the toy building 100 is placed or sunlight.

[0015] Fig. 5 is a diagram showing a detailed configuration of light guide 11 shown in Fig. 3. Fig. 6 is a diagram for explaining the traveling direction of light in light guide 11 shown in Fig. 5 and the brightness of light emitting section 15 according to the area of ​​reflecting section 14. With reference to Figs. 5 and 6, light guide 11 has light collecting section 13 having, for example, a cylindrical shape, and reflecting section 14 which is a surface inclined with respect to the extending direction of light collecting section 13 and intersects with the extending direction.

[0016] The light collecting unit 13 has an upper end exposed from the roof 101 of the building toy 100 (see FIG. 1), for example, and collects light from outside. The light that enters the light collecting unit 13 is then guided to the reflecting unit 14. The reflecting unit 14 reflects the external light that enters the light collecting unit 13, changing the traveling direction of the light to a predetermined direction. As shown in FIG. 6(A), the light guide 11 has, in addition to the light collecting unit 13 and the reflecting unit 14, a light emitting unit 15 that faces the reflecting unit 14. The light reflected by the reflecting unit 14 reaches the light emitting unit 15. With this configuration, the light emitting unit 15 can emit light using external light without receiving power from a battery or the like.

[0017] 1, the light guides 11 are attached so that the light emitting units 15 face in the main line of sight when a player plays with the building toy 100, that is, in the direction in which the player looks into the interior of the building toy 100 from the back of the building toy 100 (the X direction shown in FIG. 1). This allows the player to more reliably see the light emitting units 15 of the lighting toys 10, 20, 30 emitting light when playing with the building toy 100.

[0018] 6(B), if the area of ​​the reflective portion 14 is made large, the range of the light-emitting portion 15 can be widened, allowing the player to feel the light more strongly. The light guide 11 may also be configured such that the reflective portion 14 is plated like a mirror to increase the reflectivity of light at the reflective portion 14 and increase the amount of light that reaches the light-emitting portion 15.

[0019] (Desired configuration of light guide) (a) Surface area of ​​the light-collecting part 7 and 8 are diagrams illustrating a desirable configuration of the light guide 11 shown in FIG. 6. The light guide 11 shown in FIG. 7A and the light guide 11 shown in FIG. 7B differ in the length of the light guide 11 exposed from the roof 101 shown in FIG. 1. For example, as shown in FIG. 7B, by lengthening the light collecting portion 13 exposed from the roof 101, the surface area of ​​the light collecting portion 13 that comes into contact with external light is increased. With this configuration, the amount of light incident on the light collecting portion 13 can be increased, thereby making the light emitting portion 15 brighter. Alternatively, the amount of light incident on the light collecting portion 13 may be increased by increasing the diameter of the light collecting portion 13.

[0020] (b) Relationship between the areas of the light-collecting part and the light-emitting part 8(C) and 8(D), when the area of ​​the end of light guide 11 on the light collecting section 13 side is smaller than the area of ​​the end on the light emitting section 15 side, the light intensity at the end on the light emitting section 15 side is smaller than the light intensity at the end on the light collecting section 13 side. In contrast, when the area of ​​the end of light guide 11 on the light collecting section 13 side is equal to or larger than the area of ​​the end on the light emitting section 15 side, as shown in FIG. 8(A) and 8(B), a sufficient amount of light per unit area of ​​light emitting section 15 can be ensured. Therefore, with this configuration, light emitting section 15 can be made brighter.

[0021] (c) Relationship between the light guide and the cover Fig. 9 is a diagram illustrating a desirable configuration of the light guide 11 and the cover portion 12 shown in Fig. 3. If the light guide 11 does not have the reflecting portion 14 and the light guide 11 and the cover portion 12 are integrally formed as shown in Fig. 9(A), the light incident on the light collecting portion 13 travels along the extending direction of the light guide 11. Therefore, when the lighting toy 10 is viewed from the X direction shown in Fig. 9(A), the portion of the lighting toy 10 corresponding to the light bulb does not appear to be emitting light.

[0022] 9(B), when the light guide 11 has the reflecting portion 14 but the light guide 11 and the cover portion 12 are integrally formed, the light incident on the light collecting portion 13 is dispersed by the cover portion 12 and the reflecting portion 14. Therefore, when the lighting toy 10 is viewed from the X direction shown in FIG. 9(B), the brightness of the light emitting portion 15 cannot be ensured sufficiently.

[0023] 9(C), when the light guide 11 and the cover part 12 are formed as separate bodies, the light incident on the light collecting part 13 is more reliably redirected by the reflecting part 14 before reaching the light emitting part 15. As a result, when the lighting toy 10 is viewed from the X direction, the light emitting part 15, which corresponds to the light bulb of the lighting toy 10, appears brighter than the other parts.

[0024] 2 and 3, when the light-emitting toy is used as a lighting toy such as the lighting toy 10, it is desirable that the shape of the light-emitting part 15 of the light guide 11 is circular. With this configuration, the light-emitting part 15 can look more like a light bulb.

[0025] (d) Installation of light guide Fig. 10 is a diagram illustrating a desirable installation position of the light guide 11 shown in Fig. 5. The light guide 11 is desirably installed so that the end on the light collecting section 13 side faces upward and the end (i.e., the upper end) is exposed and not hidden by other members. This makes it easier for external light, such as from a room light, to enter the light collecting section 13.

[0026] Furthermore, it is desirable to install light-emitting unit 15 in a location where some of the external light is blocked, so that the area around light-emitting unit 15 becomes darker than other areas, thereby emphasizing the brightness of light-emitting unit 15.

[0027] 10, when the light guide 11 is provided on the roof 101 of the toy building 100, the light guide 11 is provided so that the light collecting portion 13 is exposed from the roof 101 and the light emitting portion 15 is located below the roof 101. When the light guide 11 is provided on the ceiling of the first floor of the toy building 100, the light guide 11 is provided so that the light collecting portion 13 is exposed above the rear side of the ceiling and the light emitting portion 15 is located below the ceiling.

[0028] (Modification of light guide) Fig. 11 is a diagram showing a first modified example of the light guide 11 shown in Fig. 5. The shape of the light collecting section 13 in the light guide 11 is not limited to a cylinder, and may be a square prism as shown in Fig. 11. When the shape of the light collecting section 13 is a square prism, it is easier to manufacture than when the shape of the light collecting section 13 is a cylinder, and further, it is possible to ensure a larger surface area of ​​the light collecting section 13.

[0029] 12 is a diagram showing a second modified example of the light guide 11 shown in FIG. 5. The light guide 11 may have a bent portion 16 between the light collecting portion 13 and the light emitting portion 15. In this case, a reflecting portion 14, which is an inclined surface, is provided on the outer side of the inner wall of the bent portion 16. In such a configuration, the position of the light collecting portion 13 and the position of the light emitting portion 15 can be set separately in the X direction shown in FIG.

[0030] Specifically, the lighting toy 20 shown in Fig. 1 uses a light guide 11 having a bent portion 16 as shown in Fig. 12. Therefore, for example, as shown in Fig. 2, the light collecting portion 13 may be provided on the front side of the roof 101 of the toy building 100, and the light emitting portion 15 may be provided so as to protrude from the rear side of the roof 101, and the light emitting portion 15 may be provided at any desired location.

[0031] 12, a socket cover 17 that blocks external light is attached to the light-emitting unit 15 side of the light guide 11. This makes the area around the light-emitting unit 15 side of the light guide 11 inside the socket cover 17 relatively dark. Therefore, when viewed from the X direction, the difference in brightness between the area around the light-emitting unit 15 and the light-emitting unit 15 becomes large, and the light-emitting unit 15 appears brighter.

[0032] FIG. 13 is a diagram showing a third modified example of the light guide 11 shown in FIG. 5. As shown in FIG. 13, a plurality of light guides 11 having a common light-emitting unit 15 may be connected. Specifically, in the lighting toy 30 shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, as shown in FIG. 13, two light guides 11 are provided on the handrail 102 (see FIG. 1) of the building toy 100, and these two light guides 11 are connected so that each light-emitting unit 15 is common. This makes it possible to ensure a large total surface area of ​​the light-collecting unit 13, thereby increasing the light intensity of the light-emitting unit 15.

[0033] [Another example of a light-emitting toy (part 1)] (Overall structure of the vehicle toy) Next, a vehicle toy 200 will be described as another example of a toy equipped with a light-emitting toy according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. Fig. 14 is a perspective view showing the overall configuration of the vehicle toy 200 equipped with a light-emitting toy according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. The vehicle toy 200 is a toy that resembles, for example, a car, and is provided with a lighting toy 40, which is an example of a light-emitting toy, at positions corresponding to the left and right headlights.

[0034] Fig. 15 is a diagram showing a detailed configuration of the lighting toy 40 shown in Fig. 14. The lighting toy 40 includes a light guide 41 and a cover portion 42. The light guide 41 has a light collecting portion 43, a reflecting portion 44, a light emitting portion 45, and a bending portion 46. The reflecting portion 44, the light emitting portion 45, and the bending portion 46 have the same configurations as the reflecting portion 14, the light emitting portion 15, and the bending portion 16 shown in Fig. 12, respectively.

[0035] The light collecting unit 43 includes, for example, a cylindrical light collecting main body 43A and a mirror support 43B that supports the side mirror 202 of the vehicle toy 200. More specifically, an opening is formed in the hood 201 (see FIG. 14) of the vehicle toy 200 near the side mirror 202, and the light collecting main body 43A is provided inside this opening. The upper end of the light collecting main body 43A is exposed from the opening.

[0036] The mirror support portion 43B is formed integrally with the light-collecting main body portion 43A using, for example, the same material as the light-collecting main body portion 43A, and functions as a part of the light-collecting portion 43. In this way, since both the light-collecting main body portion 43A and the mirror support portion 43B are the light-collecting portion 43, the surface area of ​​the light-collecting portion 43 can be increased.

[0037] The light emitting unit 45 is provided at a position corresponding to the headlight of the vehicle toy 200. The cover unit 42 is provided in front of the light emitting unit 45 so as to cover the light emitting unit 45. Therefore, when viewed from the X direction shown in FIG. 14 , the headlight of the vehicle toy 200 appears to be lit behind the cover unit 42.

[0038] 14, a visor portion 203 is provided around the light-emitting portion 45, protruding forward from the light-emitting portion 45. Because such a visor portion 203 is provided and the light guide 41 is located inside the hood 201, the periphery of the light-emitting portion 45 side of the light guide 41 (the hatched portion in FIG. 15) becomes relatively dark. Therefore, when viewed from the X direction, the difference in brightness between the periphery of the light-emitting portion 45 and the light-emitting portion 45 becomes large, and the light-emitting portion 45 appears brighter.

[0039] The shape of the light collecting main body 43A is not limited to a cylinder, and may be a square prism, etc. Also, a part of the side mirror 202 may be configured as the light collecting portion 43. Also, the light collecting portion 43 may not include the mirror support portion 43B.

[0040] [Another example of a light-emitting toy (part 2)] (Overall structure of the cave toy) Next, a cave toy 300 will be described as another example of a toy including a light-emitting toy according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. Fig. 16 is a diagram showing the overall configuration of cave toy 300 including a light-emitting toy according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. Cave toy 300 is a toy that simulates the inside of a cave, and is an example of a light-emitting toy, and is provided with jewel toys 50 and 60 that resemble jewels.

[0041] The jewel toy 50 includes a light guide 51 provided on the top of the cave toy 300. Fig. 17 is a diagram showing a detailed configuration of the light guide 51 shown in Fig. 16. As shown in Fig. 17, the light guide 51 includes, for example, a plurality of light collecting sections 53, reflecting sections 54 that reflect light incident on each of the light collecting sections 53, a light emitting section 55 to which the light reflected by each of the reflecting sections 54 reaches, and a connecting section 57 that connects the plurality of light collecting sections 53 together.

[0042] Furthermore, the connecting portions 57 are formed, for example, from the same material as the light guides 51, and connect the upper ends of the light collecting portions 53 of the light guides 51. In this way, by connecting the plurality of light collecting portions 53 by the connecting portions 57, the amount of light incident on the light guides 51 can be increased and the number of steps required to attach the light guides 51 can be reduced.

[0043] 16 again, the jewel toy 60 has a light guide 61 provided on the top of the cave toy 300, and a cover part 62. Similar to the light guide 11 shown in FIG. 5, the light guide 61 has a light collecting part 63 exposed from the top of the cave toy 300, a reflecting part 64 (see FIG. 19) that reflects light incident on the light collecting part 63, and a light emitting part 65 to which the light reflected by the reflecting part 64 reaches.

[0044] The cover portion 62 is made of a light-transmitting material and has a shape resembling a jewel. The cover portion 62 is attached so as to cover the light-emitting portion 65. The light guide 61 and the cover portion 62 are preferably formed as separate bodies, similar to the light guide 11 and the cover portion 12 shown in FIG. 9. The cover portion 62 may be colored.

[0045] The light-emitting portion 55 of the jewel toy 50 and the light-emitting portion 65 of the jewel toy 60 are provided inside the cave toy 300, where part of the light from outside is blocked. This makes the area around the light-emitting portions 55, 65 darker than other parts, emphasizing the brightness of the light-emitting portions 55, 65.

[0046] (Configuration for changing the light-emitting state of the light-emitting unit) Fig. 18 is a diagram (part 1) for explaining a configuration for changing the light emitting state of the light emitting units 55, 65 shown in Fig. 16. As shown in Fig. 18, a light blocking unit 71 for blocking external light from entering the light collecting units 53, 63 may be provided above the cave toy 300.

[0047] 18, the light blocking portion 71 has, for example, a cloud-like shape, and is attached to the cave toy 300 via a support portion 72 extending upward from the cave toy 300. The light blocking portion 71 is configured to be displaceable relative to the light collecting portions 53, 63. Specifically, as shown by arrow A in FIG. 18, the light blocking portion 71 is configured to be rotatable around the support portion 72.

[0048] 19 is a diagram (part 2) illustrating a configuration for changing the light-emitting state of the light-emitting units 55 and 65 illustrated in FIG. 16. FIG. 19 illustrates a configuration for changing the light-emitting state of the light-emitting unit 65. As shown in FIG. 19(A), when the light-shielding unit 71 is rotated so that the light-shielding unit 71 is not positioned above the light-collecting unit 63 in the light guide 61, external light enters the light-collecting unit 63, causing the light-emitting unit 65 to emit light. On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 19(B), when the light-shielding unit 71 is rotated so that the light-shielding unit 71 is positioned above the light-collecting unit 63, the light-shielding unit 71 blocks external light from entering the light-collecting unit 63, causing the light-emitting unit 65 to turn off.

[0049] In this way, the state of incidence of external light on the light collecting portion 63 can be changed in accordance with the displacement of the light blocking portion 71. Therefore, by rotating the light blocking portion 71, the light emitting state of the light emitting portion 65 can be changed, for example, by switching the light emitting portion 65 between on and off to blink.

[0050] In addition, in Figure 19, a configuration for changing the light emitting state of the light emitting section 65 is described, but the light emitting section 15 shown in Figures 5, 11, 12 and 13, the light emitting section 45 shown in Figure 15, and the light emitting section 55 shown in Figure 16 may also be provided with a displaceable light-shielding section 71 above the light-collecting sections 13, 43, and 53.

[0051] (Configuration that causes the light emitting section to emit light in a predetermined color) Fig. 20 is a diagram showing a configuration for making the light-emitting unit 65 shown in Fig. 16 emit light in a predetermined color. An auxiliary unit 81, which covers part or all of the light-collecting unit 63 and transmits light, as shown in Fig. 20 may be provided above the cave toy 300 shown in Fig. 16. The auxiliary unit 81 is colored. Therefore, when external light passes through the auxiliary unit 81 and is guided by the light guide 61, the light-emitting unit 65 in the light guide 61 emits light in the color assigned to the auxiliary unit 81.

[0052] The auxiliary part 81 may be divided into multiple regions, each of which may be colored differently. In this case, for example, some of the multiple jewel toys 60 located below the auxiliary part 81 may be made to emit light in red, and the other may be made to emit light in blue, so that each jewel toy 60 may emit light in a different color.

[0053] 18, the auxiliary section 81 may be configured to be displaceable with respect to the light collecting section 63. In this case, for example, the emitted color of the light emitting section 65 can be changed in accordance with the displacement of the auxiliary section 81.

[0054] 20 has described a configuration in which the light-emitting unit 65 emits light in a predetermined color, but the light-emitting unit 15 shown in FIGS. 5, 11, 12, and 13, the light-emitting unit 45 shown in FIG. 15, and the light-emitting unit 55 shown in FIG. 16 may also be provided with colored auxiliary units 81 above the light-collecting units 13, 43, and 53. This allows the light-emitting units 15, 45, and 55 to emit light in a predetermined color.

[0055] The above describes several types of toys that include the light-emitting toy of the present disclosure, but the light-emitting toys of the present disclosure are not limited to those used in the toys described above, and can also be applied to other toys that resemble light-emitting appliances, such as fireplace toys and refrigerator toys.

[0056] As described above, the light-emitting toy of this embodiment includes a light guide that guides light from outside, and the light guide has a light-collecting section that collects the light, a reflecting section that reflects the light that enters the light-collecting section and changes the direction of travel of the light to a predetermined direction, and a light-emitting section to which the light reflected by the reflecting section reaches.

[0057] With this configuration, external light can reach a predetermined position and illuminate that position. This makes it possible to realize a toy that illuminates a predetermined position without relying on a battery for power supply. This avoids poor illumination caused by dead batteries and other issues, as well as costs.

[0058] In the light-emitting toy according to this embodiment, the light collecting portion has a columnar shape, and the reflecting portion is a surface that is inclined with respect to the extension direction of the light collecting portion and intersects with the extension direction. With this configuration, the light incident on the light collecting portion can be more reliably reflected by the reflecting portion.

[0059] In the light-emitting toy according to this embodiment, the light guide has a bent portion between the light collecting portion and the light emitting portion, and a reflecting portion is provided on the outer side of the inner wall of the bent portion. With this configuration, the light guide extends between the reflecting portion provided at the bent portion and the light emitting portion, so the light emitting portion can be installed at any location and any location can be made to emit light.

[0060] In addition, in the light-emitting toy according to this embodiment, the light-collecting portion has a columnar shape, and the upper end thereof is exposed. With this configuration, for example, light from an indoor light installed on the ceiling of a room, sunlight, etc. can be made more easily incident on the light collecting section.

[0061] The light-emitting toy according to the present embodiment further includes a cover part that covers part or all of the light-emitting part and transmits light. The light guide and the cover part are formed separately. With this configuration, it is possible to prevent light incident on the light collecting portion of the light guide from being dispersed into both the light emitting portion and the cover portion, thereby ensuring the intensity of light in the light emitting portion.

[0062] Furthermore, in the light-emitting toy according to this embodiment, the light-emitting section is provided in a location where part of the light from outside is blocked. With this configuration, the periphery of the light-emitting portion is darker than the other portions, so the light from the light-emitting portion appears emphasized.

[0063] Furthermore, in the light-emitting toy according to this embodiment, the area of ​​the end on the light collecting section side of both ends of the light guide is equal to or greater than the area of ​​the end on the light-emitting section side.
