Modes for Carrying Out the Invention

[0016] Figure 1 is an external view of Figure 1 of the first embodiment of the present invention. Figure 2 is an exploded assembly view of Figure 1 of the first embodiment of the present invention.

[0017] Figure 1 shown in Figure 1 is a figure simulating a folded crane, and is a figure in which a plurality of part members made of resin plates are connected and assembled.

[0018] The part members constituting Figure 1 include a first part member 11 having a head portion 12, a body portion 13, and a tail portion 14, second part members 21a and 21b each having left and right wing portions 22, a third part member 31 forming a part of the body portion 13, and a fourth part member 41 supporting the second part members 21a and 21b. The second part member 21a and the second part member 21b have the same shape and structure.

[0019] Each of the first to fourth part members is provided with locking means for connecting the part members to each other. Specifically, it is as follows.

[0020] At the bottom of the body portion 13 of the first part member 11, there is provided a rectangular concave portion 15 into which a fitting portion 43 provided on the fourth part member 41 fits. The width W of the concave portion 15 is substantially the same as the thickness of the fourth part member 41, and the fitting portion 43 provided on the fourth part member 41 fits in with almost no gap. On the lower sides of the inner wall surfaces on both sides of the concave portion 15, semi-cylindrical locking claws 17 protruding inward from each other are provided. In the present embodiment, the concave portion 15 corresponds to a fitting groove. The shape of the locking claw 17 may be an arc shape.

[0021] Further, the first part member 11 is provided with a rectangular concave portion 18 at the upper part of the body portion 13 into which the third part member 31 fits. The width of the concave portion 18 is substantially the same as the thickness of the third part member 31, and the third part member 31 fits in with almost no gap.

[0022] The second part members 21a and 21b are provided with through holes 24a and 24b at the central portions thereof, into which protrusions 48a and 48b provided on the fourth part member 41 fit.

[0023] The third part member 31 is provided with a rectangular concave portion 33 at the center into which the body portion 13 of the first part member 11 connected to the bottom fits. The width of the concave portion 33 is substantially the same as the thickness of the first part member 11, and the body portion 13 of the first part member 11 fits in with almost no gap.

[0024] The fourth part member 41 is provided with a fitting portion 43 at the center that fits into the concave portion 15 of the first part member 11. The fitting portion 43 has concave portions 44 and 45 respectively on the upper and lower sides. Further, the fourth part member 41 is provided with protrusions 48a and 48b at both ends into which the through holes 24a and 24b of the second part members 21a and 21b fit. The height h of the protrusions 48a and 48b is the same as the thickness of the plate material of the second part members 21a and 21b, and the upper surfaces of the second part members 21a and 21b connected to the fourth part member 41 are flush.

[0025] The resin plates that are the materials of the first to fourth part members are not limited to specific resin plates, but typically are acrylic plates with a thickness of about 3 mm.

[0026] The respective part members composed as above are connected in the following manner.

[0027] Insert the through hole 24a of the second part member 21a into the protrusion 48a of the fourth part member 41, insert the through hole 24b of the second part member 21b into the protrusion 48b of the fourth part member 41, and further insert the fitting portion 43 of the fourth part member 41 into the concave portion 15 of the first part member 11. Finally, insert the third part member 31 into the concave portion 18 at the upper part of the first part member 11, and the figure 1 in which the respective part members are connected can be obtained.

[0028] The figure 1 assembled with the respective part members is connected such that the first part member 11 and the fourth part member 41 are orthogonal, and further, when connected, the bottom surface 16 of the first part member 11 and the bottom surface 42 of the fourth part member 41 are at the same height, so it can stand stably on its own.

[0029] In Figure 1, since the bottom 46 of the fitting portion 43 is locked to the locking claw 17 of the recess 15, the first part member 11 and the fourth part member will not easily come apart. The connection between the second part members 21a, 21b and the fourth part member 41 is simply that the through holes 24a, 24b of the second part members 21a, 21b fit into the protrusions 48a, 48b of the fourth part member 41. However, since the second part members 21a, 21b are sandwiched from above and below by the fourth part member 41 and the third part member 31, they will not easily come apart.

[0030] Since the third part member 31 is inserted into the first part member 11 from above, it will not easily come apart. However, similar to the connection between the first part member 11 and the fourth part member 41, it may also be connected using a locking claw. Specifically, a locking claw is provided at the bottom edge of the recess 33 of the third part member 31, and a fitting hole 19 into which this locking claw fits is provided in the body portion 13 of the first part member 11.

[0031] Figure 3 is a plan view of the figure assembly kit 2 of the second embodiment of the present invention. Figure 4 is a perspective view of the plate member 5 of the figure assembly kit 2 of the second embodiment of the present invention.

[0033] The figure assembly kit 2 of the second embodiment can be manufactured by using a rectangular resin plate and laser-cutting the first part member 11, the second part members 21a, 21b, the third part member 31, and the fourth part member 41 along their respective outer shapes. The resin plate is not limited to a specific resin plate, but is typically an acrylic plate with a thickness of about 3 mm.

[0034] The plate member 5 is a resin plate after removing the first to fourth part members laser-cut from a rectangular resin plate. Therefore, fitting holes 20, 25a, 25b, 35, 49 into which the first to fourth part members respectively fit as shown in Fig. 4 are formed in the plate member 5.

[0035] The figure assembly kit 2 of the second embodiment includes not only the first part member 11, the second part members 21a, 21b, the third part member 31, and the fourth part member 41, but also the plate member 5 into which each part member can fit. Therefore, it is preferable that the first to fourth part members are not scattered when fitted into the plate member 5. Also, fitting the first to fourth part members into the plate member 5 is preferable in terms of storage in a packaging bag during commercialization.

[0036] From the above, by using the figure assembly kit 2 of the second embodiment, the figure 1 of the first embodiment can be easily obtained.
