Description

[Technical field]

[0001] This invention relates to an educational toy (hereinafter referred to as a three-dimensional design set) that can create three-dimensional, aesthetically pleasing designs (hereinafter referred to as three-dimensional designs or three-dimensional shapes) by using an elastic sheet formed with a large number of slit-shaped holding portions (hereinafter referred to as slits) that hold design materials such as pushed-in ribbons, and by pushing fabric, various ribbons, and other design materials into the slits of the sheet. [Background technology]

[0002] Collages, which form patterns or pictures by fixing fabrics or fibers onto a mount, have been known for some time. For example, Patent Document 1 describes a collage set in which a sheet-like object with a convex hook-and-loop tape is pasted with a plurality of fabrics of various colors with a concave hook-and-loop tape.

[0003] Furthermore, Patent Document 2 describes a collage set consisting of a substrate with numerous male engaging elements protruding from its surface and colored fibers or fabric, whereby since the substrate and male engaging elements are transparent, when the collage is attached to a glass surface, the collage can be viewed from both the front and back of the glass surface. However, with these collage sets, although the fabrics and fibers could be freely rearranged, the resulting collages could only depict simple designs.

[0004] Meanwhile, Patent Document 3 describes an idea for a string-based drawing board, which describes an elastic base made of foam material having numerous insertion notches from the front to the back, and which allows two-dimensional pictures and figures to be created on the elastic base by pressing a string into the insertion notches with the tip of an insertion rod. However, even with a drawing board using a string, the pictures and figures that can be created are only flat and simple, and it is not possible to create three-dimensional, aesthetically pleasing pictures.

[0010] Hereinafter, an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0011] (board) Fig. 1(a) shows an example of a board 1 in a three-dimensional design set of the present invention. The board 1 is composed of an elastic sheet 11, a bottom plate 12, and a cover 13, as shown in Fig. 1(b).

[0012] (Elastic sheet) In the board 1, the elastic sheet 11 is an elastic sheet with many slits 110 regularly arranged, and is made of, for example, silicone resin. In Fig. 1, the slits 110 are cut in a Y-shape, but the Y-shape is not essential and they may be, for example, cross-shaped. The elastic sheet 11 may be made of anything other than silicone resin, such as an elastic hard paper board, thin wood board, foam board, or hard fabric, as long as it can form the slits 110 that open and close elastically.

[0013] When design material such as tape is pushed into this slit 110 using a push-in pen 2 (hereinafter referred to as pen 2), the slit 110 bends flexibly, and the tape or the like pushed in can be easily fixed and held in place by the contraction force of the elastic sheet.

[0014] Here, the planar shape of the board 1 (elastic sheet 11, bottom plate 12, cover 13) may be other than the hexagon shown in the figure, and the surface of the elastic sheet 11 may be curved other than flat. An example of a curved surface is the surface of a plastic bag with a curved outer surface, and this surface can be used as the elastic sheet of the three-dimensional design of this invention.

[0015] In order to form a three-dimensional design using tapes or the like with a complex structure, it is also possible to narrow the intervals between the slits 110 formed in the elastic sheet 11. By holding the tapes or the like at narrow intervals, it is possible to express a more detailed and delicate three-dimensional design using the tapes or the like.

[0016] (bottom plate) The bottom plate 12 of the board 1 is a plate-like base into which the elastic sheet 11 is fitted and fixed, and has a hole 120 penetrating at a position corresponding to the slit 110 formed in the elastic sheet 11, which serves as the base on which the three-dimensional design is formed. This hole 120 is for holding tapes and the like that are pushed through the slit 110 in the elastic sheet 11. For this reason, the bottom plate 12 is preferably hard, and ABS resin or the like is preferable as the material. In addition to ABS resin, cardboard, other plastic boards, wood boards, etc. can also be used as the material for the bottom plate 12.

[0017] (cover) The cover 13 of the board 1 is formed of a frame-like body that conforms to the outer shape of the bottom plate 12, and the bottom plate 12 is connected and fixed with a hinge 130 provided on this cover 13, sandwiching the elastic sheet 11. Since the elastic sheet 11 can be removed by removing the cover 13, after completing a three-dimensional design using tape or the like, a new elastic sheet 11 can be fitted in to form a new three-dimensional design using tape or the like. The material is preferably PP resin.

[0018] (Push-in pen) The pushing pen 2 (hereinafter referred to as the pen 2) shown in Fig. 2 is a tool for pushing design material such as ribbon into slits 110 in an elastic sheet 11. A tapered portion 2b is formed at the tip of the shaft 2a, so that the design material such as tape can be pushed into the slit 110 without damaging it.

[0019] That is, in the three-dimensional design set of the present invention, which uses tape or the like as a design material, the design material such as tape is pushed into many slits 110 formed in the elastic sheet 11 with the pen 2, and the contact portion of the pushed-in design material such as tape with the slits 110 is held by the elastic contraction force of the slits 110. Therefore, the design material such as tape can be pushed into the slits 110 freely and arbitrarily, and the tape can be freely removed from the slits 110 at any time by pulling out the pushed-in design material such as tape.

[0020] (decorative pin) The decorative pin 3 (hereinafter referred to as pin 3) is in the form of a small piece, such as a black or brown circle, a yellow star, or a red diamond, with a short rod or pin attached to the back side. It can be used as a fastener (or fixing device) for fixing a part where many tapes, etc. are overlapping to the elastic sheet 11, or as a material for representing the eyes when the three-dimensional design made of tapes, etc. is an animal such as a cat, and is used as an accent to improve the decorativeness of the three-dimensional design made of various tapes, etc.

[0021] (Tapes, fabrics, and other design materials) The three-dimensional design set of the present invention can use various tapes, fabrics, etc. as design materials. For example, the following materials can be used for the tapes and fabrics: Satin ribbon: Shiny and smooth to the touch, it has a luxurious and elegant look. Organza ribbon: Made from a woven fabric with threads woven into a fine mesh pattern, it has a transparent appearance. Glitter ribbon: A ribbon made of woven fabric with threads coated with metallic foil, making it shiny. Patterned Ribbon: Ribbon woven with a variety of continuous decorative patterns. Lace ribbon: A ribbon made of woven fabric with an openwork pattern woven into it. Brushed fabric: A fabric that imitates fur, and is soft and fluffy. In this invention, in addition to the ribbons and fabrics mentioned above, strings, paper, nonwoven fabrics, films, etc. can also be used as design materials.

[0022] (Guide Board) 4 shows guide board 4. It is a paper or film board of the same shape as elastic sheet 11, and can be attached to board 1 by overlapping elastic sheet 11. Guide board 4 has guide openings 41 formed in multiple places, for example, which indicate the positions into which ribbons, etc. should be pushed, and numbers written beside openings 41 indicate the order in which ribbons, etc. should be pushed. By pushing ribbons into openings 41 in the order shown, a user can create a three-dimensional design using ribbons of complex shapes, such as an intricately finished dress for a dress-up doll. 4 shows an example of an illustration I of a girl's whole body, and when the user pushes ribbons, tapes T, etc. selected by the user into the openings 41 in the appropriate order, a complexly finished dress can be formed. The illustration I displayed on the guide board 4 may be any suitable figurative object, specific character, etc. other than a girl.

[0023] Figures 5 and 6 show examples of three-dimensional designs created using different tapes, ribbons, etc. Figure 5 shows a rose flower, with a long piece of tape T or fabric W bound and fixed at the center to an elastic sheet 11, and the flower core secured with a hexagonal pin 3. Figure 6 shows two lace art pieces in which a guide board 4 is placed over the elastic sheet 11 and the dress is changed. If the face of the girl's illustration I is replaced with a photograph of the user's face, the user can enjoy changing the dress in a realistic way.

[0024] The three-dimensional design set of the present invention described above with reference to the figures has an outer shape of a hexagon for the elastic sheet 11, bottom plate 12, cover 13, and guide board 4 of the board 1, but the outer shapes of the elastic sheet 11, bottom plate 12, cover 13, and guide board 4 in the present invention can be arbitrarily selected from among circles, including ovals and ellipses, and polygons other than hexagons.

[0025] Furthermore, in the 3D design set of the present invention described above, the user can create any 3D design by pressing design material such as ribbons into the elastic sheet 11 according to their preference, but the present invention can also be configured as a 3D design toy kit in which a specific shape or character is displayed as a task on, for example, a guide board, and the user creates (sculpts) a 3D design that is the answer to this task.
