[0009] Hereinafter, a toy 1 according to one embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 is a perspective view showing a first form of a toy in one embodiment of the present invention, and FIG. 2 is a side view of the first form of the toy shown in FIG. 1 and 2, the toy 1 of the first form 1F has an approximately spherical appearance, including a main body 10 consisting of a first outer shell part 11 and a second outer shell part 12 and having an approximately spherically cut shape, and a secondary body part 30 connected to cover the cut-out part of the spherical shape of the main body part 10. The first outer shell part 11 and the second outer shell part 12 constituting the main body part 10 are connected at a connecting surface 10f, and can be separated at this connecting surface 10f, as described later.

[0010] The first outer part 11 has a generally spherical trapezoidal shape in side view as shown in Fig. 2. The toy 1 can be transformed into a second form 2F (see Fig. 7), which is an exhibition form, in which a clock part 20 (see Fig. 7) is provided. The second outer part 12 has a generally hemispherical shape, and has a flat part 12a at one end that can come into contact with a mounting surface 60 (see Fig. 7) when the main body part 10 is placed on the mounting surface 60.

[0011] The main body 10 and the secondary body 30 are made of, for example, synthetic resin and have appropriate hardness. The outer surface 30s of the secondary body 30 is formed as a curved surface, and in the first form 1F, as shown in the figure, the outer surface 30s forms a curved surface that is continuous with the outer surface 10s of the main body 10. Thus, in the first form 1F, the toy 1 is configured to be rollable in its entirety in a substantially spherical shape, and is wrapped in a wrapping film 70 or the like as necessary. Therefore, the toy 1 in the first form 1F is in a form that allows it to be supplied from an item supply device. The item supply device includes a storage section that can store a plurality of toys 1 covered with the wrapping film 70 in a random arrangement, a supply section that can randomly select and supply the toys 1 one by one from the storage section, a lock section that locks the supply section, an operation section that can be operated to unlock the lock section and rotate the supply section on the condition of payment of a price, and a passage section that allows the toy 1 to pass from the storage section to the supply port in a rollable manner. On the other hand, the toy 1 in the second form 2F has a non-spherical shape with the secondary body 30 removed as described below, and cannot be supplied from the article supply device (it is a form in which it is extremely difficult to roll).

[0012] The main body 10 has a shape imitating, for example, a fruit, and the one shown in Fig. 1 and Fig. 2 imitates an apple. Therefore, the first color of the outer surface 10s (the outer surface 11s of the first outer shell part 11, the outer surface 12s of the second outer shell part 12) is configured as a red color that is a color other than white. In addition, another color imitating, for example, apple leaves 11g is drawn on the upper end side. In addition, the area covered by the secondary body part 30 is configured as a shape imitating a cut surface of an apple with a second color of white (see Fig. 7) different from the first color of the outer surface 10s of the apple. That is, in the second form 2F of the toy 1, the form imitates a cut surface of a fruit.

[0013] FIG. 3 is a perspective view of the cross section taken along line AA in FIG. An internal space SP is formed inside the main body 10, as shown in Fig. 3. The various components of the timepiece section 20 are housed in this internal space SP. The clock unit 20 includes, for example, a hand unit 23, a drive unit 22 that drives the hand unit 23, and a clock face 21 that can specify the time by the hand unit 23. Note that the clock face 21 referred to here is generally called a "dial" that indicates the time on a clock, but in this specification, since there are many forms that do not have letters written on them, it is called the clock face 21 instead of the dial. Also, the cross-sectional structure of the drive unit 22 in Figure 3 is illustrated without showing its details.

[0014] In the first embodiment 1F, the clock unit 20 is not in an assembled state but in an appropriately disassembled state. For example, the drive unit 22 is attached to the back surface 11b of the recess 11a in which the plate-shaped or sheet-shaped clock face 21 is arranged. The needle unit 23 having the long hand 23a and the short hand 23b is provided in the internal space SP. In this manner, in this embodiment, the clock unit 20 is provided in a state in which it is attached to the second outer shell part 12 in advance. The needle unit 23 is housed in a bag-shaped packaging body 50 and housed in the internal space SP. This packaging body 50 is attached so as to be temporarily fixed to the inner flat surface 12b of the flat surface part 12a by, for example, an adhesive member 51 or the like. The drive unit 22 and the clock face 21 may be in a form in which they are housed in the internal space SP in a disassembled state rather than being attached to the first outer shell part 11.

[0015] FIG. 4 is an exploded perspective view showing the inside of the first outer part 11 of the toy 1, and FIG. 5 is an exploded perspective view showing the inside of the second outer part 12. As shown in FIG. As shown in FIG. 4, the driving unit 22 is attached to the back surface 11b via, for example, a mounting screw 82. In this way, the clock unit 20 is disposed on an inner wall surface that is eccentric from the center of the main body 10. In addition, the driving unit 22 is provided with a battery housing section 24 that can be opened and closed by, for example, a circular opening and closing lid 24a on the side of the internal space SP in the attached state, and is configured so that the button-type battery that is the power source of the driving unit 22 can be replaced. In the second form 2F (for example, in a state where a battery is inserted), this battery housing section 24 is pressed and held by a plate section 28 that is fixed inside the first outer shell part 11 via, for example, a guide section 81 and a mounting screw 83. That is, the opening and closing lid 24a of the battery housing section 24 is covered and held by the plate section 28.

[0016] The main body 10 is configured so that the first part 11 and the second part 12 can be connected and separated. For example, the first part 11 has a first opening 11h on the side where the recess 11a is not formed, as shown in FIG. 4, and the second part 12 has a second opening 12h connected to the first opening 11h, as shown in FIG. 5. Therefore, the connecting surface 11f (10f) constituting the first opening 11h and the connecting surface 12f (10f) constituting the second opening 12h are configured to be able to fit together. In addition, the first opening 11h and the second opening 12h are configured so that the length of their ends (inner diameter L1) is longer than the length of the end of the recess 11a (the same length as the diameter (L2) of the secondary body 30). In this way, the size of the internal space SP is configured to be larger than the size of the secondary body 30, and for example, it is also possible to accommodate the secondary body 30 in the internal space SP (see FIG. 8).

[0017] The structure for connecting and separating the first part 11 and the second part 12 may be only the fitting connection between the first opening 11h and the second opening 12h, but in this embodiment, another connecting structure is provided. For example, the first part 11 is provided with a pair of fitting pins 11d protruding from the first opening 11h. Meanwhile, the second part 12 is provided with a pair of holding bosses 12d having fitting holes 12da corresponding to the fitting pins 11d. The fitting pins 11d are fitted into the fitting holes 12da to reinforce the connection (see FIG. 3).

[0018] Hereinafter, assembly of the toy 1 when changing from the first form 1F to the second form 2F will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 6 is an enlarged cross-sectional view of a main part showing an example of assembly of the needle part 23 of the toy 1. As shown in FIG. In the clock unit 20, the hour hand 23a and the minute hand 23b of the hand unit 23 are fitted to the drive shaft 25 protruding from the upper surface side of the clock face 21. The hour hand 23a and the minute hand 23b, which were housed in the internal space SP in the first form 1F, are fitted to the drive shaft 25 which has been removed from the internal space SP.

[0019] The drive shaft 25 has a stepped structure having at least three diameter differences, for example, a small diameter section 25a, a medium diameter section 25b, and a large diameter section 25c from the tip side. The long needle 23a and the short needle 23b can be provided at a distance between the small diameter section 25a and the large diameter section 25c, sandwiching the medium diameter section 25b. First, as shown in Fig. 6(a), the short needle shaft hole 23bc of the short needle boss portion 23bb is pressed into the large diameter portion 25c and fixed to the drive shaft 25. Next, the fitting recess 23ac of the long needle boss portion 23ab is fitted into the small diameter portion 25a and fixed. When fitting the long needle boss portion 23ab, the amount of pressing of the long needle boss portion 23ab is restricted by the step portion between the small diameter portion 25a and the medium diameter portion 25b. As a result, as shown in Fig. 6(b), for example, the long needle 23a and the short needle 23b are attached with a gap of approximately the height of the medium diameter portion 25b, and are attached without interference between the long needle 23a and the short needle 23b.

[0020] In addition, the configuration for spacing the long needle 23a and the short needle 23b does not require using the step of the medium diameter portion 25b, but may instead regulate the position of the long needle 23a by the depth of engagement between the engagement recess 23ac and the small diameter portion 25a.

[0021] Fig. 7 is a perspective view of the second form 2F of the toy 1. Fig. 8 is a side view of the second form of the toy 1. As shown in Fig. 7 and Fig. 8, the toy 1 assembled as described above is displayed on the placement surface 60 as a clock in which the cut surface of an apple indicates the time, with the secondary body 30 not connected to the main body 10 in the second form 2F and the clock unit 20 visible. That is, in the second form 2F, the first outer shell part 11 supporting the clock unit 20 is supported by the second outer shell part 12. In this form, for example, a pattern imitating an apple seed 11i is drawn on the clock face 21 as the cut surface of the apple.

[0022] In the second form 2F, the main body 10 is configured such that the clock face 21 is inclined at a first inclination angle (θ1) with respect to the placement surface 60 on which the main body 10 is placed. Therefore, the main body 10 is firmly placed by the flat surface 12a, and the clock face 21 is easily visible from the front side when placed on the placement surface 60. In addition, the connection surface 10f between the first outer shell part 11 and the second outer shell part 12 is inclined at a second inclination angle (θ2) with respect to the flat surface 12a. If the connection surface 10f is inclined in this way, when the toy 1 imitates fruit or the like, the connection surface 10f is positioned toward the placement surface 60 side when viewed from the front, and is configured to be inconspicuous. The first inclination angle (θ1) is configured to be larger than the second inclination angle (θ2).

[0023] FIG. 9 is a perspective view showing a modified example of the toy 1. As shown in FIG. Fig. 9 shows modified examples of the toy 1 that imitate other fruits. For example, in Fig. 9(a), the toy 1 is configured to imitate a kiwi fruit with seeds 11i arranged in a circle on the cut surface. In Fig. 9(b), the toy 1 is configured to have a pattern imitating a bunch 11j of a citrus fruit such as an orange on the cut surface. In Fig. 9(c), the toy 1 is configured to imitate a watermelon with seeds 11i arranged on the cut surface and the characteristic skin of the outer surface 10s.

[0024] As described above, according to the toy 1 of this embodiment, the clock unit 20 provided on the main body 10 is covered by the secondary body 30, resulting in a rollable first form 1F, providing a watch-type toy 1 that can be fed while rolling by an article feeder. Also, in the toy 1, the outer surface 30s of the secondary body 30 is formed as a curved surface, and in the first form 1F, the outer surface 30s forms a curved surface that is continuous with the main body 10, resulting in an outer shape that is easy to roll.

[0025] In addition, in the first form 1F in which the secondary body 30 covers the clock unit 20, the clock unit 20 cannot be seen, so that it is possible to enjoy the change to the second form 2F, which can be displayed by removing the secondary body 30, and it is also possible to provide a toy 1 that is also practical as a clock.

[0026] Furthermore, in the toy 1 of this embodiment, the main body 10 is configured, in the second form 2F in the display state, to be appropriately inclined with respect to the support surface 60 on which the main body 10 is placed, so that the clock face 21 faces the front side at a first inclination angle (θ1), so that the clock face 21 can be displayed in an easy-to-see state.

[0027] Furthermore, in the toy 1 of this embodiment, the main body 10 has the flat portion 12a that can come into surface contact with the placement surface 60, so that the main body 10 can be placed in a stable state.

[0028] In the toy 1 of this embodiment, the clock unit 20 is eccentrically disposed away from the center of the main body part 10, which makes it easy to hold the clock unit 20 within the main body part 10. Also, in the first form 1F, the eccentric arrangement makes it possible to ensure a wide internal space SP within the main body part 10.

[0029] In the toy 1 of this embodiment, the main body 10 is configured such that the first outer part 11 and the second outer part 12 can be connected and separated, so that an item can be stored in the internal space SP of the main body 10. In addition, the battery of the drive unit 22 can be easily replaced.

[0030] In addition, in the toy 1 of this embodiment, the second shell part 12 is approximately the same size as the first shell part 11, has an approximately hemispherical shape, and has a flat planar portion 12a, so that in the second form 2F, the first shell part 11 and the clock part 20 can be securely supported.

[0031] In the toy 1 of this embodiment, the clock face 21 is inclined at a first inclination angle (θ1) with respect to the placement surface 60, making it easy to see the time. In addition, the connection surface 10f between the first outer part 11 and the second outer part 12 is inclined at a second inclination angle (θ2) with respect to the flat surface portion 12a, so that when the toy 1 is viewed from the front in the second form 2F, the connection surface 10f is difficult to see, resulting in a neat appearance. In particular, when the appearance of the toy 1 is modeled after fruit, this is a preferable configuration in which the connection portion is difficult to see.

[0032] Furthermore, in the toy 1 of this embodiment, the clock section 20 has the hands 23 and the drive section 22 that drives the hands 23 provided on the back surface of the recess 11a, so that the structure of the clock section 20 can be made compact.

[0033] In the toy 1 of this embodiment, in the second form 2F, the battery accommodating section 24 is pressed and held by a plate portion 28 fixed to the first outer shell part 11, thereby preventing the battery from being easily removed and enabling the battery to be held more securely.

[0034] In the toy 1 of this embodiment, the length (L1) of the end of the first opening 11h is longer than the length (L2) of the end of the recess 11a, so that the secondary body 30 can be accommodated in the internal space SP as necessary. This makes it easy to cover and protect the needle 23 when carrying the toy 1.

[0035] According to the toy 1 of this embodiment, the main body 10 can accommodate the needle part 23 in the internal space SP, and the toy 1 can be supplied with the needle part 23 removed. Also, the inside of the flat part 12a (the side of the internal space SP) is configured as the flat inner flat surface 12b, which is a configuration that makes it easy to hold the needle part 23 when it is removed, and in particular, the configuration provides a high protection function for the needle part 23, which has a relatively fine configuration and is easily deformed.

[0036] In addition, in the first form 1F, the main body 10 can supply the toy 1 with the needle portion 23 contained in the packaging body 50 in the internal space, so that the needle portion 23 can be protected from impact due to rolling, etc. when the toy 1 is supplied (impact due to rolling, etc. within the supply device).

[0037] According to the toy 1 of this embodiment, the drive shaft 25 has a step structure with at least three diameter differences, namely, a small diameter section 25a, a medium diameter section 25b, and a large diameter section 25c, from the tip side, and the long hand 23a and the short hand 23b are arranged spaced apart between the small diameter section 25a and the large diameter section 25c, sandwiching the medium diameter section 25b, so that the long hand 23a and the short hand 23b can be easily attached in a non-contact state, and assembly is easy.

[0038] According to the toy 1 of this embodiment, the main body 10 is formed to include a first color, and at least the area covered by the secondary body 30 is formed to include a second color different from the first color, so that, for example, the area of ​​the clock face 21 can be enjoyed as a shape imitating a fruit and a shape imitating a cut surface of the fruit. Also, the clock face 21 has a different color scheme from the outer surface of the toy 1, so that it can be configured to stand out against the external parts. Also, by making the second color part a white color, the hand part 23 can be configured to be easy to see.

[0039] Although the embodiments of the present invention have 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 clock face 21 has no numbers indicating the time, but the present invention is not limited to this configuration, and the clock face may have numbers.

[0040] In the above embodiment, the clock unit 20 is configured such that the drive unit 22 and clock face 21 are pre-attached to the main body part 10 (first outer shell part 11), but this is not limited to this, and the clock unit 20 may be configured such that all parts are disassembled and housed in the internal space SP, or such that all parts are assembled.
