[Brief explanation of the drawings]

[0017] [Figure 1] 1 is a diagram showing an embodiment of a rotating character plaything according to the present invention; [Figure 2] 1 is a diagram showing the operation and usage of one embodiment of the rotating character play equipment according to the present invention; DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0018] Hereinafter, an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. Figure 1 shows one embodiment of a rotating character play equipment 10 according to the present invention. Figure 1(A) shows a state in which the display unit 15F on the front surface of the rotating plate 14 is visible, and Figure 1(B) shows a state in which the display unit 15B on the back surface of the rotating plate 14 is visible.

[0019] As shown in Figure 1, the rotating character play equipment 10 of this embodiment comprises a flat support plate 11, a vertically long rectangular frame 12 erected on the support plate 11, a rotating plate 14 arranged within the vertically long rectangular frame 12 and fixed so as to be rotatable horizontally by a pair of vertical shafts 13, and display units 15 (15F, 15B) arranged on the front and back surfaces of the rotating plate 14 and displaying characters C1 and D1.

[0020] Therefore, in the rotary character play equipment 10 according to this embodiment, by rotating the rotary plate 14, the characters C1 and D1 displayed on the display section 15 (15F, 15B) also rotate.

[0021] As shown in Fig. 1(A), a character C1 in a first state is displayed on a display section 15F on the front side of the rotating plate 14. On the other hand, as shown in Fig. 1(B), a character D1 in a second state is displayed on a display section 15B on the back side of the rotating plate 14. For example, in this embodiment, the character C1 of the first aspect is configured as a character C1 consisting of an abstract image of a raccoon stretching its neck and straightening its posture, and the character D1 of the second aspect is configured as a character D1 of the same image of a raccoon tilting its head. Note that the backgrounds of the characters C1 and D1 are the same. That is, the character C1 in the first aspect and the character D1 in the second aspect are depicted as the same character, with only the posture being different.

[0022] Therefore, in the rotating character play equipment 10 of this embodiment, the same character is displayed in different ways on the front and back, and by rotating the rotating plate 14, the purchaser or user is visually shown the raccoon character in a standing position and then tilting its head from that position, as if greeting the viewer, thereby stimulating the viewer's interest.

[0023] As shown in Figures 1(A) and (B), the surface (top surface) of the placing board 11 is decorated with a stylized image I1 of raccoon characters C1 and D1 drawn from their backs, and an image I2 of hills, fields, and a blue sky in the background. As a result, the purchaser or user can visually perceive an image of the characters C1 and D1 on the rotating plate 14 being embraced as a whole through the placing plate 11, which in turn stimulates the user of the rotating character play equipment 10 to collect and purchase the rotating character play equipment 10.

[0024] In addition, in this embodiment, the main parts 12b of the characters C1 and D1 displayed on the rotating plate 14 are formed integrally with the frame body 12a at the upper end of the vertically long rectangular frame 12, which creates a sense of unity in the design of the surrounding frame body 12a and the internal rotating plate 14, making it possible to improve the appearance quality of the rotating character play equipment.

[0025] The rotating plate 14 is formed in a vertically elongated rectangular shape with dimensions smaller than the length and width of the gap 17 formed within the vertically elongated rectangular frame 12, and a pair of vertical shafts 13 are provided on the upper frame portion 18 and the lower frame portion 19 that form the vertically elongated rectangular frame 12.

[0026] Therefore, in the rotary character play equipment 10 according to this embodiment, the rotary plate 14 does not come into contact with the vertically long rectangular frame 12 when rotating laterally on the upper and lower axes.

[0027] FIG. 2 is a diagram showing the operation and usage of one embodiment of the rotary character play equipment 10 according to the present invention. As shown in Fig. 2(A), the display unit 15F on the front side of the rotating plate 14 is positioned facing forward. In this case, the character C1 in the first mode faces forward. When the rotating plate 14 is rotated counterclockwise by 90 degrees from this state, the state shown in Fig. 2(B) is obtained.

[0028] As shown in Fig. 2(B), the display unit 15F on the surface of the rotary plate 14 is positioned facing right. In this case, the character C1 in the first mode faces right. When the rotary plate 14 is rotated counterclockwise by 90 degrees from this state, the state shown in Fig. 2(C) is obtained.

[0029] As shown in Fig. 2(C), the display unit 15B on the back surface of the rotating plate 14 is positioned facing forward. In this case, the character D1 in the second mode faces forward. When the rotating plate 14 is rotated 90 degrees counterclockwise from this state, the state shown in Fig. 2(D) is obtained.

[0030] As shown in Figure 2(D), the display unit 15B on the back surface of the rotating plate 14 is positioned facing right. In this case, the character D1 in the second mode faces right. When the rotating plate 14 is rotated counterclockwise by 90 degrees from this state, it returns to the state shown in Figure 2(A) and returns to the original state. As shown in FIGS. 2(A) to 2(D), the rotating character play equipment 10 can be used as a decorative ornament with a rotating plate 14.

[0031] As described above, in the rotating character play equipment 10 of this embodiment, by rotating the rotating plate 14, the characters C1 and D1 displayed on the display unit 15 (15F, 15B) also rotate, so that the player can enjoy watching the characters C1 and D1 rotate, thereby improving the entertainment value of the play equipment.

[0032] Furthermore, in the rotating character play equipment 10 according to this embodiment, the display state of the characters differs between the front and back sides, so that by rotating the rotating plate 14, you can enjoy watching the characters C1 and D1 change between the first and second states.

[0033] Furthermore, in the rotating character play equipment 10 of this embodiment, the main parts 12b of the characters C1 and D1 displayed on the rotating plate 14 are formed integrally with the frame body 12a at the upper end of the vertically long rectangular frame 12, which creates a sense of unity in the design of the surrounding frame body 12a and the internal rotating plate 14, making it possible to improve the appearance quality of the rotating character play equipment.

[0034] In the rotating character play equipment 10 of this embodiment, the rotating plate 14 does not come into contact with the vertically elongated rectangular frame 12 when rotating horizontally on the upper and lower axes, so the rotating plate 14 can rotate smoothly.

[0035] The above-described embodiment can be modified as follows. The characters displayed on the display sections 15 (15F, 15B) on the front and back sides of the rotating plate 14 may be the same character with the same design, or the same character with different designs. Also, the characters displayed on the display sections 15 (15F, 15B) on the front and back sides of the rotating plate 14 may be different characters. [Industrial Applicability]
