[Diagram 2] FIG. 2 is a rear view of the jigsaw puzzle type card toy according to the embodiment. DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS

[0009] Hereinafter, the jigsaw puzzle type card toy 100 according to the embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings. In the description of this embodiment, for convenience of explanation, the "upper-lower direction" and the "left-right direction" may be mentioned as appropriate. These directions are relative directions set for the jigsaw puzzle type card toy 100 illustrated in FIG. 1. Here, the "upper-lower direction" includes the "upper direction" and the "lower direction". The "left-right direction" includes the "left direction" and the "right direction". In each figure, the symbol U indicates the upper direction. The symbol D indicates the lower direction. The symbol L indicates the left direction. The symbol R indicates the right direction.

[0010] (Overall composition) The jigsaw puzzle type card toy 100 will be described with reference to FIG. 1 and FIG. 2. FIG. 1 is a front view of the jigsaw puzzle type card toy 100. FIG. 2 is a rear view of the jigsaw puzzle type card toy 100. As illustrated in FIG. 1, the jigsaw puzzle type card toy 100 is substantially rectangular. The vertical length L1 (an example of the length of the first side) of the jigsaw puzzle type card toy 100 is 86 mm or more and 89 mm or less. The horizontal length L2 (an example of the length of the second side) of the jigsaw puzzle type card toy 100 is 59 mm or more and 64 mm or less. However, the above dimensions of the jigsaw puzzle type card toy 100 are merely an example, and the dimensions of the jigsaw puzzle type card toy 100 are not limited to this example. As illustrated in FIG. 1 and FIG. 2, the jigsaw puzzle type card toy 100 includes a plurality of pieces 1 (1A to 1I) that can be fitted together with each other, and an adhesive member 2 that can be attached to the plurality of pieces 1. In this embodiment, the jigsaw puzzle type card toy 100 has nine pieces, but the number is not limited to nine and may be any number greater than or equal to two.

[0011] The pieces 1 are formed of, for example, a paper material. However, the pieces 1 may be formed of a resin material or the like. As illustrated in FIG. 1, each of the pieces 1 has a main body 11, one or more protrusions 12, and one or more insertion parts 13. For example, piece 1A has one protrusion 12 and one insertion part 13. Piece 1B has two protrusions 12 and one insertion part 13. Piece 1D has one protrusion 12 and two insertion parts 13. Piece 1E has two protrusions 12 and two insertion parts 13.

[0012] The protrusion 12 is a convex portion protruding outward from the main body 11. The protrusion 12 is substantially circular in shape. The insertion portion 13 is a concave portion recessed toward the main body 11, and the shape of the insertion portion 13 is complementary to the shape of the protrusion 12. Therefore, a user can fit multiple pieces 1 together by inserting the protrusion 12 of one piece 1 into the insertion portion 13 of another piece 1.

[0013] A first pattern 10 is drawn on first surfaces 14 of the multiple pieces 1. In this embodiment, the first surfaces 14 are defined as the front surface. In this embodiment, a pattern relating to a helicopter, the sun, a cactus, or a living thing (such as a giraffe) in whole or in part is drawn on the first surfaces 14 of the multiple pieces 1. When the multiple pieces 1 are fitted together, a second pattern 20 including the first pattern 10 is drawn on a surface 110 formed by the multiple first surfaces 14.

[0014] As illustrated in FIG. 2, the adhesive member 2 is substantially rectangular. The adhesive member 2 is adhered to a surface 120 (a surface 120 formed by a plurality of second surfaces 15 when a plurality of pieces 1 are fitted together) formed when a plurality of pieces 1 are fitted together. In this embodiment, the second surface 15 is the back surface. That is, the second surface 15 is the surface opposite to the first surface 14. In this embodiment, when a plurality of pieces 1 are fitted together, the adhesive member 2 is adhered to all of the second surfaces 15 of the plurality of pieces 1. In this manner, in this embodiment, the adhesive member 2 is adhered to the entire surface 120 formed when a plurality of pieces 1 are fitted together, so that the plurality of pieces 1 are unlikely to come off. The adhesive member 2 includes a first adhesive portion 21, a second adhesive portion 22, and a third adhesive portion 23. The width of the second adhesive portion 22 (the length in the vertical direction in FIG. 2) is about 5 mm to 10 mm. The width of the first adhesive portion 21 and the width of the third adhesive portion 23 are about 38 mm to 42 mm. The first adhesive portion 21 is adhered to an upper portion P1 of the surface 120 formed by the second surfaces 15 when the pieces 1 are fitted together. The second adhesive portion 22 is adhered to a central portion P2 of the surface 120 formed by the second surfaces 15 when the pieces 1 are fitted together. The third adhesive portion 23 is adhered to a lower portion P3 of the surface 120 formed by the second surfaces 15 when the pieces 1 are fitted together.

[0015] The adhesive member 2 is irremovably attached to the pieces 1. A third pattern 30 is drawn on the surface of the adhesive member 2 that is not attached to the second surface 15 of the pieces 1. In this embodiment, the third pattern 30 is a pattern related to a house, a cloud, a balloon, a mountain, and a palm tree. Therefore, the third pattern 30 is different from the second pattern 20. However, the third pattern 30 may be the same as the second pattern 20. The length L3 of the adhesive member 2 in the vertical direction is approximately equal to the length L1 of the jigsaw puzzle type card toy 100 in the vertical direction, and the length L4 of the adhesive member 2 in the horizontal direction is approximately equal to the length L2 of the jigsaw puzzle type card toy 100 in the horizontal direction. However, the length L3 of the adhesive member 2 in the vertical direction may be shorter than the length L1 of the jigsaw puzzle type card toy 100 in the vertical direction, and the length L4 of the adhesive member 2 in the horizontal direction may be shorter than the length L2 of the jigsaw puzzle type card toy 100 in the horizontal direction.

[0016] (How to play with 100 jigsaw puzzle-style card toys) Next, a method of playing with the jigsaw puzzle type card toy 100 will be described. In the initial state, the pieces 1 are not fitted together, and the adhesive member 2 is not attached to the pieces 1. First, the user fits the pieces 1 together by inserting the protrusion 12 of one piece 1 into the insertion portion 13 of the other piece 1. At this time, the user fits the pieces 1 together so that the second pattern 20 appears on the surface 110 formed by the first surfaces 14.

[0017] Next, the user adheres the adhesive member 2 to the surface 120 formed by the second surfaces 15 of the pieces 1. A release paper that can be easily peeled off by the user's fingers is attached to the adhesive surface of the adhesive member 2 (the surface of the adhesive member 2 on which the third pattern 30 is not drawn) before the adhesive member 2 is attached to the second surfaces 15 of the pieces 1. The release paper is attached to each of the first adhesive portion 21, the second adhesive portion 22, and the third adhesive portion 23. That is, three release papers are attached to the adhesive surface of the adhesive member 2. When the adhesive member 2 is attached to the second surfaces 15 of the pieces 1, the user first peels off the release paper corresponding to the second adhesive portion 22 of the adhesive member 2, and places the exposed second adhesive portion 22 on the surface 120 formed by the second surfaces 15 of the pieces 1. At this time, since the area of ​​the second adhesive portion 22 is small, the second adhesive portion 22 does not easily come into contact with the surface 120 formed by the second surfaces 15 of the multiple pieces 1 due to the thickness of the release paper attached to each of the first adhesive portion 21 and the third adhesive portion 23. When the user judges that the installation position of the second adhesive portion 22 is appropriate, the user presses the second adhesive portion 22 with a finger against the surface of the adhesive member 2 corresponding to the back side of the second adhesive portion 22. This fixes the position of the second adhesive portion 22. That is, the user first attaches only a part of the adhesive member 2 (in this embodiment, the second adhesive portion 22) to the surface 120 formed by the second surfaces 15 of the multiple pieces 1. After that, the user peels off the release paper corresponding to the first adhesive portion 21 and the release paper corresponding to the third adhesive portion 23, and attaches each of them to the surface 120 formed by the second surfaces 15 of the multiple pieces 1. At this time, since the second adhesive portion 22 is fixed at an appropriate position, the user can peel off the release paper attached to each of the first adhesive portion 21 and the third adhesive portion 23 without causing misalignment. On the other hand, if the user determines that the installation position of the second adhesive portion 22 is not appropriate, the user slides the adhesive member 2 to adjust the installation position of the second adhesive portion 22. Since the second adhesive portion 22 does not easily come into contact with the surface 120 formed by the second surfaces 15 of the multiple pieces 1, the user can easily adjust the installation position of the second adhesive portion 22.After adjusting the installation position of the second adhesive portion 22, the user fixes the position of the second adhesive portion 22, peels off the release paper corresponding to the first adhesive portion 21 and the release paper corresponding to the third adhesive portion 23, and attaches each of them to the surface 120 formed by the second surfaces 15 of the multiple pieces 1.

[0018] In this way, when the adhesive member 2 is adhered to the surface 120 formed by the second surfaces 15 of the pieces 1, the fitting state of the pieces 1 is maintained by the adhesive member 2. At this time, the user can visually confirm the second pattern 20 drawn on the surface 110 formed by the first surfaces 14, and can also visually confirm the third pattern 30 drawn on the adhesive member 2 by turning over the jigsaw puzzle type card toy 100. In this way, the jigsaw puzzle type card toy 100 is completed. The jigsaw puzzle type card toy 100 is of a size that the user can easily pick up by hand, and is therefore portable. For this reason, the user can, for example, exchange the jigsaw puzzle type card toy 100 with a friend or the like, or store the collected jigsaw puzzle type card toys 100 in a file and appreciate them. In addition, since conventional jigsaw puzzles are intended to be displayed in a frame, when the pieces are fitted together, a picture is drawn only on the front side of the jigsaw puzzle, whereas the jigsaw puzzle-type card toy 100 has pictures drawn not only on the front side but also on the back side. Therefore, when the user places the jigsaw puzzle-type card toy 100 in a transparent storage case in a file, for example, the user can enjoy looking at the pictures on both sides of the jigsaw puzzle-type card toy 100 (the second picture 20 and the third picture 30). In this way, the jigsaw puzzle-type card toy 100 can be played as a trading card after playing with it as a jigsaw puzzle.

[0019] Incidentally, trading cards have become increasingly popular in recent years. Trading cards are intended for collection and exchange with friends, etc., and therefore it is desirable for them to be collectable, interchangeable, and portable. On the other hand, conventional jigsaw puzzles do not have at least one of the characteristics of collectability, interchangeability, and portability. For this reason, there is a need for a card toy that has the collectability, interchangeability, and portability of trading cards and the assembly playability of jigsaw puzzles.

[0020] The jigsaw puzzle type card toy 100 according to the above configuration includes a plurality of pieces 1 that can be fitted together and an adhesive member 2 that can be attached to the plurality of pieces 1. Therefore, the jigsaw puzzle type card toy 100 has the assembling playability of a jigsaw puzzle. Furthermore, according to the jigsaw puzzle type card toy 100 according to the above configuration, when the plurality of pieces 1 are fitted together, the adhesive member 2 adheres to the surface 120 formed when the plurality of pieces 1 are fitted together. Therefore, when the plurality of pieces 1 are fitted together, the fitting state between the plurality of pieces 1 is maintained by the adhesive member 2, so the jigsaw puzzle type card toy 100 has the collectability, exchangeability, and portability of a trading card. In this way, the jigsaw puzzle type card toy 100 has the collectability, exchangeability, and portability of a trading card and the assembling playability of a jigsaw puzzle.

[0021] According to the jigsaw puzzle type card toy 100 having the above-mentioned configuration, the first pattern 10 is drawn on the first surface 14 of the pieces 1, and the adhesive member 2 is adhered to the second surface 15. When the pieces 1 are fitted together, the surface 110 formed by the first surfaces 14 has the second pattern 20 including the first pattern 10 drawn thereon, and the surface of the adhesive member 2 that is not adhered to the second surface 15 has the third pattern 30 drawn thereon. Conventional jigsaw puzzles are intended to be displayed in a frame, so that only the front surfaces of the pieces have patterns drawn thereon, whereas the jigsaw puzzle type card toy 100 has patterns drawn not only on the front surface but also on the back surface. Therefore, the user can visually recognize both the second pattern 20 and the third pattern 30. Thus, the jigsaw puzzle type card toy 100 has not only the playability of a jigsaw puzzle but also the playability of a trading card, and is therefore more playable than conventional jigsaw puzzles. Furthermore, according to the jigsaw puzzle type card toy 100, since pictures are drawn on both the front and back sides, it has a higher design quality than conventional jigsaw puzzles.

[0022] According to the jigsaw puzzle type card toy 100 having the above-mentioned configuration, the vertical length L1 (length of the first side) of the jigsaw puzzle type card toy 100 is 86 mm or more and 89 mm or less, and the horizontal length L2 (length of the second side) of the jigsaw puzzle type card toy 100 is 59 mm or more and 64 mm or less, making it highly collectable, interchangeable, and portable.
