The attachment of the aggregate of weldable bead toys can be achieved by providing intermittent portions (hole portions) in advance in an aggregate composed of a plurality of weldable beads and inserting the heads of the protrusions 18b into the intermittent portions.

[0014] As shown in FIG. 3, the creation table 20 is formed in a substantially flat plate shape so that an aggregate of weldable bead toys can be created. Here, although not shown, the weldable bead toys are formed into granular shapes such as spherical or polyhedral shapes by a water-soluble resin material. Specifically, the weldable bead toys are formed by blending polyvinyl alcohol into the resin and kneading. Also, the resin forming the weldable bead toys can be appropriately selected from transparent materials, materials having translucency, or opaque materials.

[0015] The production table 20 is provided with a first production table 210 having rectangular regions on its upper and lower surfaces, and a second production table 220 having a substantially long rectangular shape that is long in the vertical direction, on the left side surface 14 side of the first production table 210. One side (upper surface portion 15 side) of the first production table 210 is a production area 211 for creating an aggregate of weldable bead toys, and the other side (bottom surface portion 12 side) is a receiver 212 to which the aggregate of bead toys created in the production area 211 is transferred. A hinge portion 213 is provided on the first production table 210 between the production area 211 and the receiver 212, and a table 214 is rotatably supported. In this way, the table 214 can be inverted by the hinge portion 213 having a rotation axis in the left-right direction.

[0016] Since the table 214 and the receiver 212 have known structures, detailed descriptions are omitted, and only their outlines will be described. Note that, as shown by the two-dot chain lines P1 and P2 in the rectangle in FIG. 3, the shapes indicated by P1' and P2' shown enlarged are continuously provided respectively. Also, as will be described later, the creation of an aggregate of weldable bead toys can be carried out with the production table 20 in a substantially horizontal state. A large number of holes 214a indicated by P1' are formed in the table 214, and an aggregate of weldable bead toys is created by placing weldable bead toys in the holes 214a of the table 214 in the state where it is arranged in the production area 211. The weldable bead toys are placed on the table 214 in a state where they are in contact with each other.

[0017] After spraying water on the weldable bead toys placed on the table 214, the table 214 is inverted toward the receiver 212 by holding the handle 214b of the table 214. Then, as shown by P2', an aggregate of the created weldable bead toys (the weldable bead toys are slightly welded and joined but not completely) placed on the table 214 can be inverted and transferred to the receiver 212 provided with a plurality of semi-spherical protrusions 212a. The aggregate of weldable bead toys transferred onto the receiver 212 dries in a short time. Also, the table 214 inverted to the receiver 212 can be inverted again to the production area 211 side to create the next aggregate of weldable bead toys.

[0018] Although not shown, a flat water receiving surface is formed on the surface facing the table 214 in the creation area 211 in FIG. 3. When water is sprayed onto a plurality of weldable bead toys placed on the table 214 located in the creation area 211, water falls from the holes 214a in the table 214 onto the water receiving surface, and the water receiving surface can store water. In addition, recesses 201 for accommodating the handles 214b of the table 214 are provided above and below the first creation table 210, respectively.

[0019] A curved creation table 221 is provided above the second creation table 220. The curved creation table 221 has a curved surface and can create an assembly of curved weldable bead toys. On the other hand, a strip-shaped creation table 222 formed in a flat surface shape is provided below the second creation table 220. Both the curved creation table 221 and the strip-shaped creation table 222 are provided with a plurality of hemispherical protrusions and are provided so as to be able to place the weldable bead toys in contact with each other.

[0020] The creation table 20 is detachably provided on the main body 10. The outer peripheral surface 21 of the creation table 20 has an outer shape that matches the outer peripheral surface (bottom surface portion 12, right side surface portion 13, left side surface portion 14, upper surface portion 15) of the main body 10 and is substantially continuous with the outer peripheral surface of the main body 10. The creation table 20 is attached to and detached from the main body 10 by operating the slide piece 151 of the slide portion 150 provided at the opening edge portion 160 of the right side surface portion 13 and the left side surface portion 14 of the main body 10.

[0021] Refer to FIG. 4 below. The sliding piece 151 provided on the slide portion 150 slides vertically along a slide rail 165 formed along the opening edge portion 160 at the opening edge portion 160. A notch portion 165a is formed in part of the slide rail 165. The detachable slide rail 23 formed on the production base 20 is disposed in the notch portion 165a of the slide rail 165 when the production base 20 is disposed on the main body portion 10. At this time, by positioning the sliding piece 151 downward, the detachable slide rail 23 together with the slide rail 165 is clamped by the sliding piece 151, and the production base 20 is fixed to the main body portion 10. When the sliding piece 151 is positioned upward, the detachable slide rail 23 is released, and the production base 20 can be removed from the main body portion 10. The sliding piece 151 and the slide rail 165 (detachable slide rail 23) are provided with unevenness that can be overcome so as to obtain a click feeling at the attachment / detachment position of the detachable slide rail 23 (production base 20).

[0022] Further, in order to avoid interference with the backpack belt 18, the production base 20 has concave portions 202 at portions corresponding to the belt insertion portions 161, 162, 163 on the outer peripheral surface 21.

[0023] A bead case 50 having a plurality of partitioned storage portions 51 can be stored in the storage space 120 of the main body portion 10. By the bead case 50, the weldable bead toys can be sorted and stored by color or shape. When the bead case 50 is stored, the bead case 50 is supported by a plurality of ribs 121 in the storage space 120 and is clamped and fixed by the production base 20 and the plurality of ribs 121. At this time, since a space is formed on the front portion 11 side of the bead case 50 in the storage space 120, other tools (spray bottles, templates for forming an assembly of weldable bead toys, etc.) used in the weldable bead toys can be stored in the storage space 120 together with the bead case 50.

[0024] The assembly of the weldable bead toys can be created by placing the first creation base 210 and the second creation base 220 on a desk or the like with the upper sides facing upward while the creation base 20 is removed from the main body 10. Alternatively, as shown in FIG. 5, the assembly of the weldable bead toys can be created by placing it on a desk or the like with the creation base 20 attached to the main body 10.

[0025] The storage case 1 for weldable bead toys can be placed on the installation surface DT such as a desk with the front part 11 side of the storage case 1 for weldable bead toys facing the installation surface DT. At this time, the logo 11a2 and the fastener lock decoration part 11c serving as the installation surface contact parts are in contact with the installation surface DT. Then, the creation base 20 becomes substantially horizontal with the installation surface DT. That is, the heights of the logo 11a2 and the fastener lock decoration part 11c serving as the installation surface contact parts are set so that the creation base 20 is substantially parallel to the installation surface DT in the installed state.

[0026] The logo 11a2 is formed long in the left - right direction in a form in which characters or the like are made into a logo, and the fastener lock decoration part 11c is formed in a block shape. Therefore, the logo 11a2 and the fastener lock decoration part 11c serving as the installation surface contact parts stably contact the installation surface DT.

[0027] In this way, the creation base 20 can be used by being placed alone on the installation surface DT, or can also be used in a state attached to the main body 10.
