[0034] According to the present invention, it is possible to provide a simple and easy-to-use holder, and a toy equipped with the holder. [Brief explanation of the drawing]

[0035] [Figure 1] This is a perspective view showing an example of a toy according to one embodiment of the present invention. [Figure 2] Figure 1 is an enlarged perspective view of the toy holder shown. [Figure 3] Figure 2 is a side view of the holder shown.

[Figure 8] This is a side view and a cross-sectional view taken along arrow AA, showing a third modified example of the retainer. [Figure 9] This is a side view showing a fourth modified example of the holder. [Figure 10] This is a side view showing a fifth modified example of the holder. [Modes for carrying out the invention]

[0036] A toy that is one embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to the figures. Figure 1 is a perspective view showing an example of a toy 1 according to one embodiment of the present invention. As shown in Figure 1, the toy 1 comprises, for example, a toy body 3 of a stuffed toy for infants, an annular member 5 attached to one end of the toy body 3, and a holder 8 capable of holding the annular member 5. The annular member 5 is made of, for example, a strip of string, and one end of it is fixed to the toy body 3 by sewing or the like. The holder 8 is connected to the annular member 5, and the toy 1 can be attached to and detached from, for example, a stroller frame or safety belt 40 via this holder 8.

[0037] Figure 2 is an enlarged perspective view of the holder 8 of toy 1 shown in Figure 1. The retainer 8 will now be described in more detail. As shown in Figure 2, for example, the main body 10, which has an elliptical ring shape in a side view (see Figure 3), is equipped with a detachable part 10a from which the ring structure is separated. The detachable part 10a has a first end 11 and a second end 12 that are positioned opposite each other and separated with a predetermined distance between them. The main body 10 is made of synthetic resin and has rigidity that can maintain the distance between the first end 11 and the second end 12, and is also elastically deformable so that a relatively thick member such as a safety belt 40 can be inserted, as will be described later. That is, the entire main body 10 elastically deforms when the ring member 5, etc. is passed through the inside of the main body 10 or removed from it. The retainer 8 also firmly holds the ring member 5 attached to the toy main body 3 in a state that allows it to move along the main body 10, as shown in the figure.

[0038] Figure 3 is a side view of the holder 8 shown in Figure 2. As shown in Figure 3, the holder 8 has a first extension portion 110 that extends from the first end portion 11 toward the area enclosed by the main body portion 10 (inside the main body portion 10). The first extension portion 110 has a first part 111 that extends from the first end portion 11 and a second part 112 that extends in a direction intersecting the direction in which the first part 111 extends. That is, the first extension portion 110 has a first part 111 that extends along a first extension direction line (CL1) in the vertical direction as shown in Figure 3, and a second part 112 that protrudes along a second projection direction line (CL2) in the horizontal direction that is perpendicular to the first extension direction line (CL1).

[0039] Furthermore, on the side of the second end 12, a second extension 120 is provided that extends toward the inside of the main body 10. Similar to the first extension 110, the second extension 120 comprises a third portion 123 that extends along a third extension direction line (CL3) and a fourth portion 124 that protrudes in the left-right direction along a fourth projection direction line (CL4) perpendicular to the third extension direction line (CL3). That is, the first portion 111 and the third portion 123 extend parallel to each other while maintaining a close facing distance (d1), and the second portion 112 and the fourth portion 124 extend in opposite directions along the main body 10.

[0040] Furthermore, the first part 111 and the third part 123 extend at an angle θ1 (θ4 in the figure is the same angle as θ1) that is slightly less than a right angle to the annular line CL10 of the main body 10. In addition, the second part 112 and the fourth part 124 extend at right angles (θ2 and θ3) to the first part 111 and the third part 123, as described above. That is, the extension angles (θ1 and θ4) of the first part 111 and the third part 123 are smaller than the extension angles (θ2 and θ3) of the second part 112 and the fourth part 124.

[0041] The lengths (L1, (=L3)) of the first part 111 and the third part 123 are greater than the lengths (L2, (=L4)) of the second part 112 and the fourth part 124. Also, the distance (d1) between the first end 11 and the second end 12 is smaller than the distance (d2) between the second part 112 and the inner circumferential surface 10is of the main body 10 near the first end 11. Furthermore, the distance (d4) between the fourth part 124 and the inner circumferential surface 10is of the main body 10 near the second end 12 is the same size as the distance (d2) of the second part 112.

[0042] The aforementioned distance (d1) between the first extension portion 110 and the second extension portion 120 is set to be smaller than the width (d5) of the annular member 5. In other words, the distance (d1) is set to a size that makes it difficult for the annular member 5 to come off the distance (d1) of the attachment / detachment portion 10a. In addition, the hooking intervals (d2 and d4) between the tip 10t of the first extension portion 110 and the second extension portion 120 and the inner circumferential surface 10is of the main body portion 10 near the first end 11 and near the second end 12 are set to a size that allows the annular member 5 to enter. For example, the hooking intervals (d2, d4) are set to be larger than the width (d5) of the annular member 5. These hooking intervals (d2, d4) are set to be at least greater than the minimum width (d5) of the annular member 5, and preferably greater than the maximum width of the annular member 5, so that the annular member 5 is difficult to detach from the attachment / detachment portion 10a.

[0043] As shown in Figure 3, the outer peripheral ends 10ue of the main body 10 at the first end 11 and the second end 12 have an arc-shaped cross-section perpendicular to the axial direction of the main body 10. Similarly, the inner peripheral ends 10ie of the main body 10 at the first part 111 and the third part 123 also have an arc-shaped cross-section perpendicular to the axial direction of the main body 10. Thus, the upper and lower ends of the first part 111 and the third part 123 in the figure (the upper outer peripheral end 10ue and the lower inner peripheral end 10ie) are both arc-shaped, but their curvature differs; for example, the curvature of the inner peripheral end 10ie is greater than the curvature of the outer peripheral end 10ue.

[0044] Furthermore, the tips 10t of the second section 112 and the fourth section 124 have an arc-shaped cross-section perpendicular to the axial direction of the main body 10. The curvature of the tip 10t is the same as that of the outer peripheral end 10ue. Since the cross-section of the main body 10 is circular, the tip 10t is hemispherical in three dimensions (see Figure 2). Similarly, the inner peripheral end 10ie is also arc-shaped and is part of a sphere in three dimensions (see Figure 2). Comparing the curvature of the inner peripheral end 10ie with that of the tip 10t, the curvature of the inner peripheral end 10ie is greater.

[0045] Figure 4 is an explanatory diagram showing the state of elastic deformation of the holder 8. In the holder 8, as shown in Figure 4, the main body 10 is configured such that the first end 11 and the second end 12 are elastically deformable in a direction away from each other. The aforementioned distance (d1) between the first end 11 and the second end 12 is normally smaller than the width (d5) of the annular member 5, but the elastic deformation of the main body 10 allows it to open wide to the left and right. This wide opening allows relatively thick safety belts 40 and the like to be passed through or removed from the main body 10.

[0046] Furthermore, the outer circumferential end 10ue and the inner circumferential end 10ie are configured as curved surfaces (arc-shaped), which can be used as turning surfaces when attaching and detaching the safety belt 40. And because the curvature of the inner circumferential end 10ie is greater than that of the outer circumferential end 10ue, the retainer 8 is structured in a way that makes it easy to attach the safety belt 40 and difficult for it to come off.

[0047] Figure 5 is a perspective view showing another example of how to hold toy 1. Figure 1 illustrates a configuration in which the toy 1 is attached to the frame or safety belt 40 of a stroller or the like, but as shown in Figure 5, there are other configurations of use. In the configuration shown in Figure 5, one end of the main body 10 of the holder 8 is grasped by the hand 50. In this case, by grasping the part opposite to the attachment / detachment part 10a with the hand 50, a state is created in which the annular member 5 hangs towards the attachment / detachment part 10a. In this state, the annular member 5 is locked in place by, for example, the first part 111 and the second part 112 of the first extension 110 so as not to come off the first end 11.

[0048] As described above, the toy 1 in this embodiment is provided with extensions (first extension 110, second extension 120) that extend into the inner region of the main body 10 at opposing ends (first end 11, and second end 12) of the annular main body 10, so that when an annular member 5 of another article is held in place by the main body 10, these extensions make it difficult for the annular member 5 to come off.

[0049] Furthermore, since the toy 1 has a holder 8 with opposing first end 11 and second end 12 that can be detachably attached to the annular member 5 connected to the toy body 3, the toy 1 can be provided with ease of handling, as it can be easily attached to and detached from other items by the holder 8.

[0050] In the toy holder 8 of this embodiment, the annular member 5 can be prevented from coming off from either the first end 11 or the second end 12 of the main body 10 by having extensions (first extension 110, second extension 120) at both ends of the opposing first end 11 and second end 12.

[0051] In this embodiment, the toy 1 has a first extension 110 which includes a first portion 111 and a second portion 112 that intersects the extension direction of the first portion 111, and a second extension 120 which includes a third portion 123 and a fourth portion 124 that intersects the extension direction of the third portion 123, making it possible to create a structure in which the annular member 5 is hooked by the second portion 112 and the fourth portion 124. As a result, it is possible to more reliably prevent the annular member 5 from coming off the main body 10. Furthermore, since the second portion 112 and the fourth portion 124 extend in opposite directions (away from each other) along the main body 10, the direction in which the annular member 5 is hooked can be changed, making it possible to more reliably hook and hold the annular member 5.

[0052] In the toy 1 of this embodiment, the first part 111 and the third part 123 extend substantially parallel to each other in a state of contact or proximity, so that when the annular member 5 is introduced into or removed from the main body 10, the first part 111 and the third part 123 facing each other can function as guide parts. In particular, the main body 10 has a flexibility at the first end 11 and the second end 12 that allows them to deform in a direction away from each other, so that the annular member 5 and other articles (such as the safety belt 40) can be held securely, and they can be attached and detached smoothly.

[0053] In the toy 1 of this embodiment, the engagement gap (d2, d4) between the second part 112 and the fourth part 124 and the inner circumferential surface of the main body 10 is such that the annular member 5 can enter, making it possible to hold the annular member 5 in a state where it is caught within the gap (d2, d4).

[0054] In the toy 1 of this embodiment, the distance between the first end 11 and the second end 12 (d1) is set to be smaller than the hooking distance (d2, d4), which makes it more difficult for the annular member 5 to detach from the main body 10.

[0055] In this embodiment of toy 1, the curvature of the arc shape of the outer peripheral end 10ue is small, and the curvature of the arc shape of the inner peripheral end 10ie is large, which makes it easy to attach the annular member 5 and the safety belt 40 to the main body 10 and difficult to detach.

[0056] Furthermore, according to the toy 1 of this embodiment, the angle (θ1, θ4) between the extension lines of the first part 111 and the third part 123 (first extension line (CL1), third extension line (CL3)) and the circumferential annular line (CL10) of the main body 10 is smaller and more acute than the angle (θ2, θ3) between the first and third extension lines (CL1, CL3) and the projection lines in the protruding direction of the second part 112 and the fourth part 124 (second projection line (CL2), fourth projection line (CL4)). As a result, the annular member 5 can be held more firmly near the inner circumferential surface 10is of the corner region on the main body 10 side.

[0057] In the toy 1 of this embodiment, the distance (d1) between the first extension 110 and the second extension 120 is set to be smaller than at least the minimum width of the annular member 5, thereby preventing the annular member 5 from coming off the holder 8.

[0058] Regarding the holder 8 of the toy 1 of the present invention, as shown in Figures 1 to 5, the first extension portion 110 and the second extension portion 120 have been described in a state where they are close together with a certain distance (d1) between them, but the invention is not limited to this, and can be modified as described below.

[0059] Figure 6 is a side view showing a first modified example of the holder 8. In the configuration shown in Figure 6, the distance between opposing parts (d6) is not constant but varies. For example, as shown in Figure 6, the first extension part 110 and the second extension part 120 are configured such that the distance at the tip of the extension part is greater than the distance at the base of the extension part. In this case, the first extension part 110 and the second extension part 120 are configured such that the distance between them gradually increases toward the tip at a predetermined angle (θ6) along their extension direction lines (CL1, CL3).

[0060] In this modified toy 1, the operability when attaching and detaching the annular member 5 or other articles to the holder 8 can be improved by changing the distance between the first part 111 and the third part 123 in a side view.

[0061] Figure 7 is a side view showing a second modified example of the holder 8. In the configuration shown in Figure 7, the distance between the two opposing parts (d7) is not constant but changes, similar to the case shown in Figure 6. In the configuration shown in Figure 7, for example, the distance between the first extension part 110 and the second extension part 120 is such that the distance between them gradually decreases toward the tip at a predetermined angle (θ7) along their extension direction lines (CL1, CL3). Therefore, the distance between the two opposing parts (d7) of the first extension part 110 and the second extension part 120 is the opposite of the change in the case of Figure 6, with the distance at the base being greater than the distance at the tip.

[0062] Furthermore, in the configurations shown in Figures 6 and 7, the first extension portion 110 and the second extension portion 120 are shown as being normally separated, but they may also be in a configuration where a part of them is in contact.

[0063] Figure 8 shows a side view and a cross-sectional view taken along arrow AA, illustrating a third modified example of the holder 8. In the present invention, the configuration of the detachable portion 10a described above has been explained as having the first extension portion 110 and the second extension portion 120 in a configuration that is appropriately separated or in contact when viewed from the side. However, as shown in Figure 8, the configuration of the detachable portion 10a can be such that the first end portion 11 and the second end portion 12 overlap when viewed from the side.

[0064] In the configuration shown in Figure 8, for example, the first extension portion 110 and the second extension portion 120 overlap at their base ends, while their tip ends are separated by a distance (d8) that allows them to face each other in a side view. In this case, the extension direction lines (CL1, CL3) of the first extension portion 110 and the second extension portion 120 are inclined such that their tip ends are separated at a predetermined angle (θ8) in a side view. This makes it possible to create a state in which the first portion 111 and the third portion 123 overlap without a gap, and a state with a slight gap (d8) in a side view.

[0065] Thus, in a side view of the detachable portion 10a, the components overlap as shown in the figure. However, in a front view, they are spaced apart, as shown in the cross-sectional view of the blowout portion along line AA in Figure 8. As shown in the blowout portion of Figure 8, the first extension portion 110 and the second extension portion 120 are arranged with a predetermined facing distance (d9).

[0066] Figure 9 is a side view showing a fourth modified example. The configuration of the holder 8 shown in Figure 9 is such that the main body 10 has a first end 11 and a second end 12 arranged opposite each other, and only a first extension 110 extends inward from the first end 11 to the main body 10. In this case, the second extension 120 described above is not formed on the second end 12. In this configuration, for example, when gripped as shown in Figure 9, it is possible to perform the same function as in the case shown in Figure 5. In this modified configuration, when the annular member 5 moves toward the second end 12, it is easier to remove the annular member 5.

[0067] Figure 10 is a side view showing a fifth modified example. In the configuration of the holder 8 shown in Figure 10, the main body 10 has a first end 11 and a second end 12 arranged opposite each other. A first extension 110 extends inward from the first end 11 to the main body 10, and a second extension 120 extends inward from the second end 12 to the main body 10. However, the first extension 110 and the second extension 120 do not have the second portion 112 and fourth portion 124 as shown in Figure 5, and have a simple configuration consisting only of the first portion 111 and the third portion 123.

[0068] Although one aspect 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 holder 8 has an elliptical shape, but it is not limited to this configuration and may also have a circular or polygonal shape.

[0069] Furthermore, in the above embodiment, the annular member 5 is composed of a retaining string member, but it is not limited to this and can be composed of various connecting members. [Explanation of Symbols]
