DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS
[0009] Hereinafter, the embodiments will be described in detail with reference to the attached drawings. Note that the following embodiments do not limit the invention according to the claims, and not all combinations of features described in the embodiments are necessarily essential to the invention. Two or more features among the multiple features described in the embodiments may be arbitrarily combined. Also, the same reference numbers are used for identical or similar configurations, and duplicated descriptions are omitted. Also, in each figure, the up, down, left, right, front and back directions relative to the paper surface are used in the description in the text as the up, down, left, right, front and back directions of the parts (or components) in this embodiment.
[0010] First, an example of the appearance of a toy part corresponding to this embodiment is shown in FIG. 1. FIG. 1(A) is a perspective view showing an example of the configuration of the front side of a toy part 100 according to the embodiment. The toy part 100 is configured by engaging a first member 110 and a second member 120. FIG. 1(B) is a perspective view showing an example of the configuration of the back side of a toy part 100 according to the embodiment. On the front side of the toy part 100, unevenness or protrusions are arranged at a predetermined interval in the horizontal direction, but on the back side, the first member 110 and the second member 120 form a continuous plane. The toy part 100 can contact another member on the back side and fix the position. In addition, a joint part used for joining to another member is arranged on the bottom of the toy part 100. The size of the toy part 100 can be, for example, about 13.5 mm in length, about 9.5 mm in width, and about 6.3 mm in height.
[0011] FIG. 2 shows six-sided views of the toy part 100. First, referring to the front view, it can be seen that protrusions having the same width are arranged in the horizontal direction. The lower ends of each protrusion are at the same position, but the upper ends of the protrusions at both ends on the left and right are at a lower position than the other protrusions. For the rest of the upper ends, the ends of the protrusions belonging to the first member 110 are lower than the ends of the protrusions belonging to the second member 120. Also, of the four protrusions belonging to the first member 110, the protrusions on the outside are higher than the protrusions on the inside. On the other hand, the ends of the three protrusions belonging to the second member 120 are at the same height.
[0012] Referring to the rear view, the first member 110 and the second member 120 are engaged with each other via a stepped or uneven engagement portion. The first member 110 is positioned and engaged by being sandwiched between the protrusions on both ends of the protrusions of the second member 120.
[0013] With reference to the plan view and bottom view, it can be seen that the maximum width in the depth direction of the protrusions of the first member 110 and the second member 120 is different. The maximum width in the depth direction of the protrusions of the second member 120 is smaller than the maximum width in the depth direction of the protrusions of the first member 110. In the plan view, in the protrusions of the second member 120, the maximum width in the depth direction of the protrusions at both ends is smaller than the maximum width in the depth direction of the three protrusions inside (considering the thickness of the main body part described later), but these may be equal. The protrusions located at both ends of the first member 110 have the largest maximum width in the depth direction. The two protrusions of the first member 110 sandwiched between the protrusions at both ends of the first member 110 have the same maximum width in the depth direction, which is smaller than the longest width. In addition, when the first member 110 and the second member 120 are engaged with each other, the three inner protrusions of the first member and the two inner protrusions of the second member 120 are configured to have their maximum widths at the same position in the depth direction.
[0014] Next, the structure of the first member 110 will be described with reference to Fig. 3. Fig. 3(A) and (B) show front and rear perspective views of the first member 110. Fig. 3(C) and (D) show front and rear views of the first member 110.
[0015] The first member 110 has a structure in which a main body 300 and four protrusions 301 to 304 are integrated, and the protrusions 301 to 304 are partially integrated with the main body 300. The remaining parts that are not integrated with the main body 300 extend downward, and when engaging with the second member 120, are disposed in the gaps formed between the parts of the protrusions 401 to 405 of the second member 120 that are integrated with the main body 400, which will be described later. Furthermore, the protrusions 301 to 304 do not each have a uniform width in the depth direction, but have short and long parts, and also have parts whose width changes. The manner in which the width changes is also different between the protrusions 301 and 302, which allows a multi-layered feel to be expressed.
[0016] On the back surface of the first member 110, the main body 300 is formed with an engagement portion for engaging with the second member 120. The engagement portion is formed with concave portions and convex portions (steps) alternately arranged in the lateral direction of the first member 110, and the convex portions are formed at the positions of the protrusions 301 to 304. These convex portions do not reach the tip positions of the protrusions 301 to 304, but cover part of them.
[0017] In this embodiment, the interval between each protrusion may be, for example, 1.0 mm. The interval may be larger or smaller depending on the size of the toy part 100. In this embodiment, since the first member 110 and the second member 120 are combined, it is possible to provide an interval between the protrusions, and the size of the protrusions can be smaller than when the protrusions are formed continuously. Therefore, the density of the protrusions can be increased compared to when the protrusions are composed of a single member. In addition, the degree of freedom in design is increased and processing is easier, so that it is easy to give the protrusions a fine shape. In addition, the protrusions may be tapered so that they become thinner toward the front, and in that case, the lateral width at the tip position can be, for example, 0.5 mm.
[0018] Next, the structure of the second member 120 will be described with reference to Fig. 4. Fig. 4(A) and (B) show front and rear perspective views of the second member 120. Fig. 4(C) and (D) show front and rear views of the second member 120.
[0019] The second member 120 has a configuration in which the main body 400 and five protrusions 401 to 405 are integrated, and the protrusions 401 to 405 are partially integrated with the main body 400, and the remaining parts not integrated with the main body 400 extend in the upward direction of the figure. In addition, a coupling part 406 for coupling with another member is arranged on the lower side of the second member 120. When engaging with the first member 110, the protrusions 402 to 404 are arranged in the intervals formed between the parts of the protrusions 301 to 304 of the first member 110 that are integrated with the main body 300. Meanwhile, the protrusions 401 and 405 sandwich the first member 110. In addition, the protrusions 401 to 405 are not uniform in width in the depth direction, but have short and long parts, and also have parts whose widths change. The manner in which the width changes is also different between protrusions 401 and 402, and also different from protrusions 301 to 304 of first member 110. This makes it possible to express a multi-layered feel.
[0020] Furthermore, on the back surface of the second member 120, the main body 400 is formed with an engagement portion for engaging with the first member 110. The engagement portion is formed with concave portions and convex portions (steps) alternately arranged in the lateral direction of the second member 120, and the convex portions are formed at the positions of the protrusions 401 to 405. Among these, the convex portions extend to the tip positions of the protrusions 401 and 405, while for the protrusions 402 to 404, they do not reach the tip positions and only cover a portion thereof.
[0021] In this embodiment, the first member 110 and the second member 120 engage with each other by engaging an engaging portion formed on the main body 300 with an engaging portion formed on the main body 400. The spacing between each protrusion on the second member 120 can also be 1.0 mm. This spacing can be made larger or smaller depending on the size of the toy part 100. The protrusions can also be tapered so that they become thinner toward the front, in which case the lateral width at the tip end can be, for example, 0.5 mm.
[0022] FIG. 5 shows the A-A', B-B', and C-C' cross sections shown in the rear perspective view of the toy part 100 in FIG. 1(B). In each figure, the boundaries between the main body parts 300 and 400 and each protrusion are shown by dashed lines. FIG. 5(A) is an A-A' cross section, showing that the protrusions 402, 403, and 404 of the second member are arranged between the protrusions 301 to 304 of the first member 110, and that the first member 110 is sandwiched between the protrusions 401 and 405. In FIG. 5(A), a cross section of the part where the main body part 300 and the protrusions 301 to 304 are integrated in the first member 110 is shown, while in the second member 120, the protrusions 401 and 405 are integrated with the main body part 400, while the protrusions 402 to 404 are independent of the main body part.
[0023] Fig. 5(B) is a cross-sectional view taken along line B-B', and shows how protrusions 301 to 304 of first member 110 and protrusions 401 to 405 of the second member are arranged alternately. In addition, Fig. 5(B) shows a cross-section of the engagement portion, so for first member 110, a cross-section of the convex portion of the engagement portion integrated with protrusions 301 to 304 is shown. Meanwhile, for second member 120, a cross-section of the convex portion of the engagement portion integrated with protrusions 401 to 405 is shown.
[0024] Fig. 5(C) is a cross-sectional view taken along the line CC', and shows how the protrusions 301 to 304 of the first member 110 are disposed between the protrusions 401 to 405 of the second member. Also, Fig. 5(C) shows a cross-section of a portion of the first member 110 where the protrusions 301 to 304 are independent of the main body 300, while Fig. 5(C) shows a cross-section of a portion of the second member 120 where the protrusions 401 to 405 are integrated with the main body 400.
[0025] In the above, a case has been described in which a toy part with shiitake mushroom details is constructed by combining two members, but the number of members to be combined is not limited to two, and may be three or more.
[0026] FIG. 6 shows an example of the appearance of a model toy to which the toy part 100 corresponding to this embodiment can be applied. FIG. 6 is a schematic diagram showing a model toy 600 according to the embodiment. The model toy 600 has model parts of a head 610, a body 611, arms 612, a waist 613, and legs 614, which are joined together to form a doll toy. At least a part of each part 610 to 614 is supported so as to be rotatable (or swingable) relative to an adjacent part. For example, the head 610 is supported so as to be rotatable relative to the body 611, and the arms 612 are supported so as to be rotatable relative to the body 611. In this way, each part of the model toy 600 is provided with a joint structure, and a user (for example, an owner of the model toy 600) can put such a model toy 600 into a desired posture.
[0027] A cover 615 is attached to the knee joint of the leg 114, and the toy part 100 corresponding to the above-mentioned embodiment can be arranged on the back side of the cover 615. The cover 615 is attached to the lower leg part of the leg 114. Before bending the knee joint of the model toy 600, the tip of the cover 615 is covered by the thigh, so the back side of the cover 615 cannot be seen. However, by bending the knee joint, the tip of the cover 615 is no longer covered by the thigh, so the toy part 100 on the back side of the cover 615 can be seen.
[0028] 7 is a diagram showing an example of the configuration of the back side of the cover 615. The toy parts 100 described in the above embodiment are arranged on the back side of the cover 615, and the toy parts 100 can be viewed from above by bending the knee joints of the model toy 600.
[0029] According to this embodiment, it is possible to provide a toy part with shiitake mushroom details that can be easily completed by combining multiple parts. The part can be used, for example, to fill gaps in model toy parts to create a sense of density, or as a component part for heat exhaust vents behind the knees, etc., and can more precisely express the details of the model toy.
[0030] The invention is not limited to the above-described embodiment, and various modifications and variations are possible within the scope of the gist of the invention.
