Description

[Technical field]

[0001] The present invention relates to model toys and model parts. [Background technology]

[0002] A doll-type toy (model toy) can be fitted with decorative parts such as weapons. For example, the decorative parts are attached to the hand parts of the model toy in a gripping form. Patent Document 1 proposes a toy hand part that makes the expression of the grip of the hand in the model toy more natural. [Prior art documents] [Patent documents]

[0003] [Patent Document 1] Patent No. 7093904 Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0004] In the above-mentioned conventional technology, the expression of the hand grip is natural, but when the hand grips a decorative part such as a weapon, the hand grip requires gripping strength. In order to increase gripping strength, the knuckles need to be bent hard, which may make the product difficult to handle. On the other hand, if the gripping strength is weak, the decorative part will frequently fall off, which is annoying.

[0005] In addition, in order to increase the gripping force, a configuration is considered in which a fitting portion is provided on a part of the hand part to connect with the decorative part. However, in this case, although the decorative part is less likely to come off from the part of the hand, the hand part itself may come apart, resulting in a problem that the decorative part frequently falls off.

[0006] The present invention provides a novel mechanism for conveniently attaching decorative parts to, for example, model toys. [Means for solving the problem]

In the following, the part including the head 101 and the chest 102 is referred to as the upper body part.

[0015] <Hand parts configuration> The configuration of the hand part 106 of the model toy 100 according to this embodiment will be described with reference to Fig. 2. Fig. 2(a) shows a side view of the right hand part 106b. Fig. 2(b) shows an exploded perspective view of the right hand part 106b shown in Fig. 2(a). Here, the right hand part 106b will be used as an example of the hand part for description, but the left hand part 106a will not be described because it has a symmetrical configuration to the right hand part 106b.

[0016] As shown in FIG. 2(a), the hand part 106b is configured to include a palm portion 201, finger portions 202a to 202e, a connecting portion 203, a back portion 204, and a protrusion portion 205. The palm portion 201 constitutes a part of a gripping portion that grips a decorative part. Furthermore, the palm portion 201 is formed with a protrusion portion 205 that is fitted into the decorative part. The finger portions 202a to 202e are formed in a shape that grips the decorative part. The connecting portion 203 is formed in a spherical shape, and is rotatably connected to the arm portion 103b. The back portion 204 is formed as a separate part from the finger portions, and plays a role in connecting the parts that form the finger portions and the palm portion. The connection configuration will be described in detail later.

[0017] As shown in FIG. 2(b), the right hand part 106b is configured to include multiple parts 211-213. Part 211 corresponds to the first part, and constitutes finger portions 202b-202e and part of the palm. Part 212 corresponds to the second part, and constitutes finger portion 202a and part of the palm. When parts 211 and 212 are connected, the palm including the fingers is formed. Part 213 corresponds to the third part, and constitutes the back of the hand, and is a part for connecting and fixing parts 211 and 212 together.

[0018] <Assembly configuration> The assembly configuration of the hand part according to this embodiment will be described with reference to Figures 3 and 4. Figure 3 shows how part 211 and part 212 are assembled. Figure 4 shows how part 213 is assembled to part 211 and part 212 that have been assembled.

[0019] 3(a), parts 211 and 212 are connected such that connecting portion 301 of part 211 and connecting portion 302 of part 212 are overlapped. Specifically, connecting portion 302 is formed in a concave shape so that the shape of connecting portion 301 fits into connecting portion 302, and connecting portion 301 and connecting portion 302 fit together.

[0020] 3(b) shows the state in which parts 211 and 212 are connected. When parts 211 and 212 are connected, connecting part 303 is formed in the position (predetermined surface) indicated by the dotted line area. This position corresponds to the back of the hand. Connecting part 303 has convex part 311 and concave parts 312 and 313. In this state, if force is applied in the vertical direction in the figure, for example, parts 211 and 212 will easily come apart.

[0021] FIG. 4(a) shows the back surface of the part 213. A recess 411 and protrusions 412 and 413 are formed on the back surface of the part 213. FIG. 4(b) shows how the part 213 is connected to the parts 211 and 212 in a connected state. The part 213 is connected to the connecting part 303 from above in the figure with respect to the parts 211 and 212. At this time, the protrusion 311 of the connecting part 303 fits into the recess 411 of the part 213, the protrusion 412 of the part 213 fits into the recess 312 of the connecting part 303, and the recess 413 of the part 213 fits into the recess 313 of the connecting part 303, so that the part 213 is connected to the parts 211 and 212. These fitting mechanisms allow the part 211 and the part 212 to be connected and fixed by the part 213. This makes it possible to prevent the parts 211 to 213 from coming apart.

[0022] <Grip configuration> The configuration of the grip portion of right hand part 106b according to this embodiment will be described with reference to Fig. 5. Fig. 5 shows hand part 106b to which parts 211 to 213 are attached, as viewed from the front of model toy 100.

[0023] The dotted line area 501 is a gripping portion for gripping the decorative part. Grip portion 501 is formed so as to surround a hollow portion 502 with the fingers and palm formed by parts 211, 212. For example, by connecting parts 211, 212 by sandwiching a part of the decorative part in this hollow portion 502, it is possible to prevent the decorative part from falling off.

[0024] Furthermore, protrusions 205 are located on the inside of gripping portion 501 and fit into recesses formed in the decorative part being gripped, thereby increasing the gripping force of the decorative part and reducing wobbling.

[0025] <Attaching decorative parts (weapons)> With reference to Fig. 6, the attachment of a decorative part to a hand part 106 according to this embodiment will be described. Here, a weapon part will be used as an example of a decorative accessory. However, this is not intended to limit the present invention, and any other decorative part may be attached.

[0026] FIG. 6(a) shows a weapon part 600, which is a decorative part. The area 601 enclosed by the dotted line corresponds to the grip portion of the weapon part 600. A recess 602 is formed in the grip portion 601. A similar recess 602 is formed on the back side of the grip portion 601 in the figure, and protrusions 205 formed on the left and right hand parts 106 can be fitted into the recess 602. This allows the weapon part 600 to be attached to either the left or right hand part.

[0027] When attaching the weapon part 600 to the hand part 106b, first the part 211 is placed on the grip portion 601 of the weapon part 600. Then, as shown in Fig. 6(b), the part 212 is connected to the part 211, and the protrusion 205 is fitted into the recess 602. In this state, the parts 211 and 212 are in a state of gripping the grip portion 601.

[0028] In this case, since the right-hand part 106b is taken as an example, the recess is a recess formed on the rear surface of the grip part 601 in the figure. On the other hand, when the left-hand part 106a is worn, a protrusion formed on the left-hand part 106a is fitted into the recess 602 shown in the figure.

[0029] 6(c), part 213 is connected to connecting portion 303 formed on parts 211 and 212 from the rear direction in the figure, with parts 211 and 212 connected to grip portion 601 of weapon part 600. As a result, parts 211 to 213 are connected and fixed in a state where weapon part 600 is attached.

[0030] As described above, the model toy according to this embodiment includes a first part, a second part connected to the first part, and a third part connecting the first part and the second part. When the first part and the second part are connected, a connecting portion that connects to the third part is formed on a predetermined surface. When the third part is connected to the connecting portion formed by the first part and the second part, the connection between the first part, the second part, and the third part is fixed. Furthermore, when the first part and the second part are connected, a gripping portion for gripping another member is formed on a surface different from the predetermined surface. As a result, according to this embodiment, a novel mechanism for suitably attaching a decorative part to a model toy can be provided.
