DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0009] Hereinafter, a toy according to one embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 is a perspective view showing a toy according to one embodiment of the present invention. The toy 1 shown in FIG. 1 is a toy in the form of a doll, with a secondary body 30 attached to a main body 10. The toy 1 comprises a main body 10 made of a material that can be molded into any shape, and a secondary body 30 made of a material such as synthetic resin that is harder than the main body 10 and can be inserted into any position of the main body 10 molded into the shape of a character. The material of the main body 10 is capable of changing from a first form that can be molded into any shape to a second form that hardens over time. An example of such a material is clay, such as paper clay.

[0010] The secondary body 30 includes, for example, arm parts 33, leg parts 34, facial parts 38 (see FIG. 6), and weapon parts 39 (see FIG. 6). Of the secondary body 30, the arm parts 33 and leg parts 34 in particular have insertion parts 31 that are inserted into the main body 10, and as will be described later, the diameter of the tip 31a of the insertion parts 31 is larger than the diameter of the cylindrical part 31b on the base end side of the tip 31a (see FIG. 2).

[0011] FIG. 2 is an enlarged perspective view of the arm part 33 and other parts attached to the arm part 33 in the toy shown in FIG. The arm part 33 shown in FIG. 2 has an insertion portion 31 extending in a direction intersecting the longitudinal direction of the arm. The insertion portion 31 is the portion that is inserted into the main body 10, and is composed of a cylindrical portion 31b with a circular cross section and a spherical tip 31a at the tip of the cylindrical portion 31b. The insertion portion 31 is configured as a portion that corresponds to a shoulder. Here, the spherical diameter (d1) of the tip 31a is configured to be larger than the diameter (d2) of the cylindrical portion 31b. Furthermore, because the insertion portion 31 is configured as a cylinder, the arm part 33 is easily rotated (rotated in the R direction) around the axis CL of the insertion portion 31 when inserted into the main body 10.

[0012] The hand portion at the tip of the arm part 33 is configured as a part attachment section 33a having a through-hole 33b in a direction intersecting the longitudinal direction of the arm part 33. That is, another part, for example, an attachment shaft 39b of a weapon part 39 is inserted into the through-hole 33b, and the weapon part 39 is attached to the arm part 33. A notch 33k is provided in the through-hole 33b. By forming this notch 33k, the diameter of the through-hole 33b is configured to be slightly smaller than the attachment shaft 39b, so that the attachment shaft 39b can be elastically and securely held.

[0013] FIG. 3 is an enlarged perspective view of the leg part 34 of the toy shown in FIG. The left and right leg parts 34 shown in Fig. 3 are configured by combining a leg portion 35 and a foot portion 36. For example, they are assembled by inserting and fitting a lower end shaft 35b of the leg 35 into a fitting hole 36h provided on the upper end surface of the foot portion 36. With this configuration, the foot portion 36 can rotate relative to the leg portion 35 and freely change its orientation. The left and right leg parts 34 are inserted into the main body portion 10 and function as parts capable of supporting the main body portion 10 when placed on a placing surface.

[0014] An insertion portion 31 is provided on the upper end side of the leg portion 35, and like the arm part 33, it has a cylindrical portion 31b and a spherical tip 31a. In the leg part 34 as well, the diameter (d3) of the spherical tip 31a is configured to be larger than the diameter (d4) of the cylindrical portion 31b. Furthermore, in the leg part 34 inserted into the main body 10, it is also possible for it to rotate (rotate in the Y direction) around the axis CL of the insertion portion 31. The length (L34) of the leg part 34 is configured to be shorter than the length (L33) of the arm part 33.

[0015] FIG. 4 is an enlarged cross-sectional view of a main part showing an example of a state in which the insertion portion 31 is attached to the main body portion 10. As shown in FIG. For example, when inserting the secondary body 30 into the main body 10, the secondary body 30 is pushed in the direction of the axis CL of the insertion part 31. As a result, the tip 31a of the insertion part 31 is inserted into the main body 10 to a predetermined depth, as shown in FIG. In the illustrated state, the tip outer portion 10b, which is located outside the main body portion 10 from the tip 31a (to the left in the figure) and is located around the cylindrical portion 31b, is configured to prevent the tip 31a from slipping out. That is, the distance (d5) between the tip outer portions 10b is smaller than the diameter of the tip 31a. This is not the case when the insertion portion 31 is inserted, but when the insertion portion 31 is pushed in, a pushing diameter portion 10aa with a diameter equal to or larger than the tip 31a is formed. Then, after insertion, the structure of the distance (d5) between the tip outer portions 10b is obtained by pressing the outer surface of the main body portion 10 around the cylindrical portion 31b with, for example, a fingertip.

[0016] By forming the tip outer portion 10b with a smaller diameter than the tip 31a in this way, the insertion portion 31 is held in a state where it is difficult to fall off the main body portion 10. Furthermore, as the clay hardens, the effect of preventing falling off becomes even more reliable. Furthermore, since the tip 31a is spherical, it can rotate around the axis line CL.

[0017] FIG. 5 is an enlarged cross-sectional view of a main part showing another example of the state in which the insertion portion 31 is attached to the main body portion 10. As shown in FIG. In the configuration shown in FIG. 5, the tip outer portion 10b facing the cylindrical portion 31b is configured as a tapered surface that widens outward. With this tapered surface configuration, the insertion portion 31 can swing at a predetermined angle (in the direction of the arrow Z in the figure) with the tip 31a as the swing center. This tapered surface can be formed, for example, by pushing the insertion portion 31 into the main body 10 and then temporarily shaping the tip outer portion 10b into the shape shown in FIG. 4. Then, the insertion portion 31 is swung and rotated while tilted at a predetermined angle, thereby forming a tapered surface using the outer surface of the cylindrical portion 31b.

[0018] FIG. 6 is a perspective view showing an example of the toy 1 in an assembled display state. When the secondary body 30 is inserted into the main body 10, the leg parts 34 support the main body 10, allowing it to be displayed on the mounting part 60. As mentioned above, the leg parts 34 are configured to be shorter in length than the leg parts 34, and furthermore, the underside of the foot parts 36 is configured to be flat and have a relatively wide surface, thereby stably holding the main body 10. In addition, the orientation of the foot parts 36 can be freely changed, allowing for stable mounting. In addition, the main body 10 is provided with eye parts 38 related to the character's face as another secondary body part 30, allowing for enjoyment of the character's facial expressions.

[0019] FIG. 7 is a perspective view of the main body 10 as seen from the bottom side. As shown in Fig. 7, the main body 10 has a flat bottom surface 10d. Furthermore, the cross-sectional area of ​​the main body 10 is configured to taper from the bottom surface to the top end so that the area is largest at the bottom surface 10d. With this configuration, for example, even if arm parts 33 and face parts are attached to the main body 10 but the leg parts 34 are not, the main body 10 can stand on its own with the bottom surface 10d as its base.

[0020] As described above, in the toy 1 of this embodiment, the secondary body portion 30, which can be inserted into the soft main body portion 10 that can be freely shaped, is configured so that the diameter of the tip 31a of the insertion portion 31 inserted into the main body portion 10 is larger than the diameter of the base end, thereby preventing the insertion portion 31 inserted into the main body portion 10 from easily coming out.

[0021] In addition, in the toy 1 of this embodiment, the tip 31a of the insertion portion 31 is formed, for example, in an approximately spherical shape and is configured to be rotatable relative to the main body portion 10, so that the orientation of the secondary body portion 30 can be freely changed by rotating it.

[0022] In the toy 1 of this embodiment, the secondary body 30 is provided with leg parts 34 that are shorter than the arm parts, so that the main body 10 serves as the torso of the character and stably supports it, allowing for the creation of a free-standing doll form. Furthermore, the provision of arm parts 33 makes it possible to create a dynamic character. Furthermore, the provision of parts for creating a face allows for the character to be expressed.

[0023] In the toy 1 of this embodiment, the arm part 33 of the secondary body 30 is provided with the part attachment portion 33a, so that it is easy to configure it so that other parts can be attached.

[0024] In the toy 1 of this embodiment, the main body 10 is configured so that the lower end is large and the bottom surface is flat, allowing it to stand on its own and thus to represent a character even without attaching leg parts 34, etc. Furthermore, the main body 10 is configured so that the upper end is narrow, allowing it to be placed stably.

[0025] Furthermore, according to the toy 1 of this embodiment, the main body 10 is configured to harden over time, like clay, for example, making it easy to mold when forming a shape, and the molded product can be stored in a stable shape over time.

[0026] Although one embodiment of the present invention has been described above, the present invention can be modified as appropriate within the scope of its technical concept. For example, in the above embodiment, the arm parts 33 and leg parts 34 are configured with spherical tips 31a at the insertion portions 31, but this configuration is not limited thereto, and the insertion portion of the eye parts 38 may also be configured with spherical tips 31a. In this case, it is easy to change the direction of the eyes, which allows for variation in the character's facial expression.
