[Figure 6] (a) to (d) Plan views showing an example of application using toys 100 to 300 DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0008] An example of an embodiment is shown below, but the invention is not limited to this example. <Toys 100> 1(a) and 1(b) show a toy 100 according to an embodiment. Fig. 1(a) shows the toy 100 in an exploded state. Fig. 1(b) shows a portion of a cross section of the toy 100 taken in a direction parallel to the longitudinal direction. The toy 100 is made up of a first sheet 11, a second sheet 12, and a rod-shaped body 13. The first sheet 11 and the second sheet 12 are bonded together with an adhesive layer 14. The rod-shaped body 13 is located between the first sheet 11 and the second sheet 12 and surrounded by the adhesive layer 14.

[0009] At least one surface of the first sheet 11 and the second sheet 12 has a hook-and-loop fastener 15. The first sheet 11 and the second sheet 12 can be made of a resin film, paper, cloth, etc. The thickness is 0.1 mm to 1 mm.

[0010] The rod-shaped body 13 is, for example, a metal wire such as a wire, and the surface may be covered with a resin. The rod-shaped body 13 is preferably one that maintains a fixed shape. It is also preferable that it is easily deformed and can maintain the shape after deformation. The cross section is preferably circular, but may also be elliptical or rectangular. The rod-shaped body 13 may not be a string-shaped body, but may be rectangular. In FIG. 1(a), three rod-shaped bodies 13 are used. However, one rod-shaped body may be used. It is preferable that the rod-shaped body 13 extends over the entire length of the first sheet 11 and the second sheet 12. The rod-shaped body 13 is linear, but may also be curved. The rod-shaped body 13 may not be string-shaped, but may be planar. It may also be a rectangular parallelepiped shape similar to the second sheet 12.

[0011] A hook-and-loop fastener 15 is disposed on the surface of the first sheet 11. A hook-and-loop fastener is also called Velcro (trademark) or Magic Tape (trademark). A hook-and-loop fastener is a member that connects or separates pieces of fabric by, for example, bonding together a loop-shaped portion and a hook-shaped portion sewn onto the surface of the fabric. The hook-and-loop fasteners 15 are present on at least a portion of both sides of the toy 100. They are provided so that the toys can be adhered and attached to each other.

[0012] An elastic adhesive is used for the adhesive layer 14. An adhesive that bonds rubber or a silicone adhesive is preferable. Since the toy 100 deforms, an adhesive that can follow the deformation is preferable. Alternatively, without using adhesive layer 14, first sheet 11, rod-shaped body 13, and second sheet 12 may be laminated using heat-bondable resin sheets as first sheet 11 and second sheet 12, and then bonded by heat pressing.

[0013] Due to the above-described structure, the toy 100 is easily deformed and remains in its shape, making it a desirable toy.

[0014] 2(a) to 2(d) show examples of the arrangement of the rod-shaped bodies 13. The first sheet 11 and the like are excluded, and the state of the rod-shaped bodies 13 on the second sheet 12 is shown. In Fig. 2(a), one straight rod-shaped body 13 is arranged in the center of the second sheet 12 in the direction perpendicular to the longitudinal direction. The rod-shaped body 13 may be arranged along the diagonal of the rectangle of the second sheet 12. One rod-shaped body 13 can cover the entire toy 100.

[0015] 2(b), one rod-shaped body 13 is arranged undulating in a direction perpendicular to the longitudinal direction of the second sheet 12. The toy 100 can be entirely covered with one rod-shaped body 13. In Fig. 2(c), three rod-shaped bodies 13 are arranged undulating in a direction perpendicular to the longitudinal direction of the second sheet 12. The three rod-shaped bodies 13 are arranged without contacting each other, but they may also be in contact. In FIG. 2( d ), the rod-shaped body 13 has a rectangular shape and is disposed on the second sheet 12 . As a result, the toy 100, 200 can maintain its posture in a bent state by the rod-like body 13. When a plurality of rod-like bodies 13 are arranged in parallel, the toy 100 as a whole can maintain its posture.

[0016] <Toys 200> The toy 200 according to the embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS. 3(a) to 3(c). FIG. 3( a ) shows the surface of the first sheet 11 of the toy 200 . FIG. 3( b ) shows the surface of the second sheet 12 of the toy 200 . FIG. 3(c) is a partial cross-sectional view of the toy 200 taken along a line parallel to the longitudinal direction.

[0017] The parts that are not common to toy 100 will be explained. Items that will not be explained are the same as toy 100. Unlike toy 100, toy 200 has a part of rod-shaped body 13 protruding from the surface of toy 200. The part protruding from the surface is referred to as surface portion 21 of the rod-shaped body. In FIG. 3(a), there are multiple surface portions 21 of the rod-shaped body. Rod-shaped body 13 penetrates first sheet 11, forming surface portions 21 of the rod-shaped body. In FIG. 3(a), surface portions 21 of the rod-shaped body are present at regular intervals. Surface portions 21 of the rod-shaped body need only be on at least one surface of toy 200. They may also be on both surfaces. The rod-shaped body 13 has the effect of being gently wavy, making it stronger.

[0018] <Toys 300> The embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS. 4(a) to 4(c). FIG. 4(a) is a view showing the toy 300 in a partially disassembled state. FIG. 4( b ) is a plan view of the toy 300 . FIG. 4(c) is a partial cross-sectional view of the toy 300.

[0019] The following describes the parts that are not common to toys 100 and 200. Items that are not described are the same as toys 100 and 200. Unlike toys 100 and 200, toy 300 is made up of multiple toys. Rod-shaped bodies 13 connect the multiple toys. The multiple toys are a first unit 31 and a second unit 32, and the first unit 31 and the second unit 32 may be toy 100 or toy 200. The rod-shaped body 13 is positioned across the first unit 31 and the second unit 32.

[0020] In Fig. 4(a), the rod-shaped bodies 13 are united between the first unit 31 and the second unit 32. On the other hand, in Fig. 4(b), the rod-shaped bodies 13 are not united between the first unit 31 and the second unit 32 but are arranged in parallel. In Fig. 4(c), the rod-shaped bodies 13 are united in a crossing manner. The rods 13 may be joined together in a state where they are in contact with each other, overlapping with each other, or twisted. Furthermore, the joined parts may be integrated into one (metal wires are joined together by pressure). The joined parts may be joined together with an adhesive, separate parts, or the like. That is, there are multiple toys each including a first sheet 11, a second sheet 12, a rod-shaped body 13 located between the first sheet 11 and the second sheet 12, and a hook-and-loop fastener arranged on at least one surface of the first sheet 11 and the second sheet 12, and there are multiple rod-shaped bodies 13, and the multiple toys are connected by the multiple rod-shaped bodies 13 and the multiple rod-shaped bodies 13 are united among the multiple toys. The rod-shaped body 13 may be a toy that is a metal wire. Also, the rod-shaped body 13 may be a toy in which a part of it appears on the surface of the first sheet 11. The first unit 31 and the second unit 32 are preferably in the form of a sheet or a plate, and are easily bendable as a whole. In Figure 4(d), which is a cross section of the toy 300, a structure similar to that in Figure 1(b) is shown, but cross sections such as those in Figures 1(c), 1(d), and 3(c) may also be used. The arrangement of the rod-shaped bodies 13 may also be as shown in Figures 2(a) to 2(d). The location of the surface portion 21 of the rod-shaped bodies does not have to be uniform, as long as there is one or more locations. The number of rod-shaped bodies 13 does not have to be one. There may be a rod-shaped body 13 connecting the first unit 31 and the second unit 32, and other rod-shaped bodies 13 in the first unit 31 and the second unit 32. With the above structure, the area between the first unit 31 and the second unit 32 is easily deformed, and the entire unit is easily bent.

[0021] 5(a) to 5(e) are plan views of modified examples of the toy 300. FIG. In FIG. 5(a), the first unit 31 and the second unit 32 are joined together with the rod-shaped bodies 13 protruding from the respective corners. In FIG. 5(b), the rod-shaped bodies 13 protrude from the corners of the first unit 31 and the edge of the second unit 32 and are joined together.

[0022] 5(c), the first unit 31 has a circular shape in a plan view. The rod-shaped bodies 13 protrude from the end sides of the second unit 32 and from the periphery of the circle of the first unit 31 and are joined to each other. In Fig. 5(d), a first unit 31, a second unit 32, and a third unit 33 are connected by a rod-shaped body 13. The rod-shaped body 13 is branched. Alternatively, the third unit 33 and the rod-shaped body 13 are connected by another rod-shaped body 13. In Fig. 5(e), the first unit 31 and the second unit 32 are connected by a rod-shaped body 13, and further, the second unit 32 and the third unit 33 are connected by a rod-shaped body 13. These two rod-shaped bodies 13 may be the same rod-shaped body (one rod-shaped body), or may be different rod-shaped bodies 13. FIG. 5(f) shows FIG. 5(e) in which the second unit 32 and the fourth unit 34 are further connected by a rod-shaped body 13. These three rod-shaped bodies 13 may be the same rod-shaped body (one rod-shaped body), or may be different rod-shaped bodies 13. In FIG. 5(d), the branching occurs at the rod-shaped body 13, and in FIG. 5(f), the branching occurs at the second unit 32. The branching may occur at any of the rod-shaped bodies 13 or units. The branching may occur at multiple locations, and may be three or more branches instead of two. As a result, the rod-shaped body 13 can be bent significantly at the exposed portion. This can lead to a greater number of applications such as those described below. Note that there may be a plurality of rod-shaped bodies 13 connecting the first unit 31 and the second unit 32, as in Fig. 4. Similarly, a plurality of rod-shaped bodies 13 may be used to connect other units and between units and rod-shaped bodies.

[0023] <Application> 6(a) to 6(c) show an application example using any of the toys 100 to 300. Five toys are used: a first toy 101, a second toy 102, a third toy 103, a fourth toy 104, and a fifth toy 105. The five toys are any of the toys described above. In Fig. 6(a), it represents a paper sign, in Fig. 6(b), a scissors sign, and in Fig. 6(c), a rock sign. The fifth toy 105 may be a short toy or may be folded to shorten it. A hook-and-loop fastener 14 is located on the surface of the toy, allowing the toys to attach to each other. In Fig. 6(c), each toy may be a short toy or a long toy that can be folded.

[0024] FIG. 6(d) is also an example of an application using the toys 100 to 300. The third toy 103 is placed in the center, with the first toy 101 and the second toy 102 placed parallel to the bottom, and the fourth toy 104 and the fifth toy 105 attached to the sides as arms. It has the shape of a person. They can also be used as the core of a dress-up doll. By folding the bottom of the fourth toy 104 and the fifth toy 105 by 90 degrees, a person can be made to stand. By bending the fourth toy 104 and the fifth toy 105, it is possible to express a state in which the arms are bent. The toys 100, 200, and 300 according to the embodiments can be used in applications such as those shown in Fig. 6. In addition, various shapes can be produced.

[0025] (Overall) Most of the toys are rectangular in plan view, but they can be circular, oval, star-shaped, L-shaped, S-shaped, or any other shape. The embodiments can be combined.
