DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0010] An embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. As shown in FIG. 1, the embodiment illustrates a kitchen toy (model toy, cooking toy) 1 that resembles a kitchen. The kitchen toy 1 is a toy that allows a doll or other object to play with while cooking meals. The kitchen toy 1 is formed in the shape of a horizontally elongated rectangular parallelepiped, and includes a main body 10 with a sink 20 and a stove 30 provided on the top. A door 40 is provided below the sink 20. An oven 50 having a tray 52 that can be freely pulled out and stored inside the main body 10 is provided below the stove 30.

[0011] In kitchen toy 1, when tray 52 with an object placed on it is pushed into oven 50, the object on tray 52 is flipped inside main body 10. Kitchen toy 1 is a toy that allows users to enjoy simulating cooking by placing a food model, for example, with decorations on the front side showing the state before cooking and on the back side showing the state after cooking, on tray 52 with the front side facing up, pushing tray 52 into oven 50, and then pulling it out so that the back side of the food model faces up. In the following description, the door 40 side of kitchen toy 1 is referred to as the front side, and the opposite side is referred to as the rear side, and the oven 50 side when viewed from the front of kitchen toy 1 is referred to as the right side, and the opposite side is referred to as the left side.

[0012] The main body 10 is integrally formed with a rear wall (orthogonal wall) 12 that forms the rear surface, an outer wall 14 that forms the front surface, left and right side surfaces, and bottom surface, and a top plate (parallel wall) 16 that forms the top surface, and is hollow inside. A door 40 provided on the front side of the outer wall 14 is a hinged door that can be opened both ways. A faucet 22 and a sink 24 are disposed on a sink 20 provided on the left side of the top plate 16. A drainage pipe 26 formed to resemble a drainage channel of the sink 24 is provided on the rear wall 12 at a location inside the main body 10 and below the sink 24 (see Figure 4).

[0013] The tray 52 provided in the oven 50 can be freely pulled out forward and accommodated inside the main body 10 (see FIG. 2). As shown in FIGS. 2 and 3, the tray 52 is generally box-shaped, with a handle 52a on the front side and an upward opening, and has a rectangular mounting surface 52b on which a figure (described later) is placed. The mounting surface 52b is perpendicular to the wall surface of the rear wall 12 and parallel to the surface of the top plate 16. An inclined surface 52c is provided in front of the mounting surface 52b, sloping upward from the mounting surface 52b toward the handle 52a. A slight step 52d is provided between the mounting surface 52b and the inclined surface 52c (see FIGS. 3 and 6). A recessed opening 52e is formed in the rear wall of the tray 52, with a recessed opening cut out approximately in the center in the left-right direction.

[0014] 3, an upright wall 18 is provided inside the main body 10, extending from the rear wall 12 so that its wall surface is along the front-rear direction (the direction in which the tray 52 is pulled out). The upright wall 18 extends from the rear wall 12 onto the mounting surface 52b of the tray 52 through the recessed opening 52e of the tray 52, with its wall surface generally perpendicular to the mounting surface 52b. The upright wall 18 is also provided so as to be located approximately in the center of the mounting surface 52b in the left-right direction. The mounting surface 52b and the upright wall 18 may be close to each other, or may be in sliding contact with each other so that the tray 52 can be freely pulled out forward.

[0015] An arc-shaped cutout 18a is formed on the tip side of the standing wall 18. The cutout 18a is provided from a position close to the inclined surface 52c on the mounting surface 52b of the standing wall 18 to a position close to the upper front side of the standing wall 18 so as to face the front side, i.e., the pull-out side of the tray 52. ​​Because the cutout 18a is provided in this manner, the inclined surface 52c of the tray 52 faces the cutout 18a.

[0016] 4, a pair of sandwiching walls (holding portions) 16a extending from the top plate portion 16 are provided inside the main body portion 10 so as to sandwich the upper end of the standing wall portion 18 in the left-right direction. The pair of sandwiching walls 16a holds the upper portion of the standing wall portion 18 in the left-right direction. This makes the standing wall portion 18 more flexible in the left-right direction than when the standing wall portion 18 is fixed to the top plate portion 16.

[0017] Next, a description will be given of the shaped object placed on the placement surface 52b of the tray 52. ​​In this embodiment, a pie dough model 60 that resembles pie dough is used as an example of a shaped object having a front and back surface. As shown in FIG. 5(a), the pie dough model 60 is flat and conforms to the placement surface 52b, its front-to-back and left-to-right dimensions are approximately the same as those of the placement surface 52b, and it has a thickness that allows it to fit within the tray 52. ​​The pie dough model 60 is accommodated in the tray 52 in a reversible manner, in proximity to or in contact with the step 52d on the tray 52.

[0018] The pie dough model 60 has rounded R-shaped edges 60a on both the front and back sides. The areas of the pie dough model 60 surrounded by the R-shaped edges 60a are slightly recessed on both the front and back sides. Of the recessed areas of the pie dough model 60, the front side is decorated with a decoration 61 that resembles pie dough before cooking (hereinafter referred to as "pre-cooking decoration") (see Figure 5(a)), and the back side is decorated with a decoration 62 that resembles pie dough after cooking (hereinafter referred to as "post-cooking decoration") (see Figure 5(b)).

[0019] Next, we will explain the operation of kitchen toy 1, in which pie dough model 60 on tray 52 is flipped inside main body 10 by pushing tray 52 on which pie dough model 60 is placed into oven 50. Figure 6(a) shows a partially see-through side view of pie dough model 60 placed on placing surface 52b of tray 52 pulled out to the front side of oven 50, with the surface with pre-cooking decoration 61 facing up. In the state of Figure 6(a), pie dough model 60 on placing surface 52b is separated from notch 18a of standing wall 18.

[0020] When tray 52 is pushed in from the state shown in Figure 6(a), first, pie dough model 60 on mounting surface 52b abuts against the lower end of cutout 18a and is pushed toward cutout 18a by step 52d, resulting in a state where it rides up onto cutout 18a (the state shown in Figure 6(b)). This causes pie dough model 60 to start turning over. At this time, because edge 60a of pie dough model 60 is rounded, pie dough model 60 is prevented from getting caught on the lower front end of standing wall 18, and pie dough model 60 rides up smoothly onto cutout 18a.

[0021] Thereafter, pie dough model 60 that has climbed onto cutout 18a is further pushed by step 52d, causing it to stand along cutout 18a and become upright on mounting surface 52b between step 52d and cutout 18a (the state shown in FIG. 7(a)). At this time, standing wall 18 bends left and right, thereby alleviating the stress that standing wall 18 exerts on pie dough model 60 that is pushed against step 52d, and pie dough model 60 rises smoothly along cutout 18a.

[0022] Then, the upright pie dough model 60 is pushed upside down by the reaction force from rising and by the step 52d, causing it to invert and fall toward the inclined surface 52c. As a result, the lower end of the pie dough model 60 rides up onto the lower end of the notch 18a, and is supported in a tilted position toward the inclined surface 52c (the state shown in FIG. 7(b)). When the tray 52 is pulled forward in this state, the inverted pie dough model 60 moves away from the standing wall 18, is no longer supported by the standing wall 18, falls onto the inclined surface 52c, and is guided by the inclined surface 52c onto the placing surface 52b. As a result, the tray 52, with the pie dough model 60 placed on the placing surface 52b with the underside with the post-cooking decoration 62 facing up, can be pulled out of the oven 50.

[0023] As described above, in the kitchen toy according to this embodiment, when tray 52 with pie dough model 60 placed on placing surface 52b is pushed into oven 50, pie dough model 60 is inverted inside main body 10. Then, when tray 52 is pulled out from oven 50, the inverted pie dough model 60 appears on tray 52. ​​Therefore, by using pie dough model 60 with decorations on the front and back sides, respectively, before and after cooking as a figurative object to be placed on placing surface 52b, children can easily enjoy playing by imitating the changes in state of pie dough model 60 before and after cooking.

[0024] According to the above-described embodiment of the present invention, it is possible to provide the following model toys and cooking toys.

[0025] The model toy of the first aspect comprises a main body portion and a tray having a placing surface and stored inside the main body portion so that it can be freely pulled out, the main body portion having a standing wall portion extending from the inside of the main body portion onto the placing surface so that the wall surface is aligned with the pulling-out direction of the tray, and the standing wall portion having a notch cut out in an arc shape so as to face the pulling-out side of the tray.

[0026] With this configuration, when a flat figure is placed on the tray's mounting surface and the tray is pushed into the main body, the figure abuts against the notch on the mounting surface, rides up on the notch, and then stands up and flips over along the notch. Therefore, for example, by placing a figure with decorations on the front and back sides before and after cooking on the tray's mounting surface, pushing the tray into the main body and then pulling it out, you can easily enjoy playing with it, imitating the changes in state before and after cooking.

[0027] In the model toy of the second aspect, the tray has the placing surface arranged along the direction in which the tray is pulled out, and an inclined surface arranged opposite the cutout portion and inclined from the placing surface.

[0028] With this configuration, the inverted figure that rises along the notch inside the main body falls toward the inclined surface and rides onto the inclined surface, so that when the tray is pulled out, the figure is guided from the inclined surface to the placement surface, thereby making it possible to improve the appearance of the inverted figure when the tray is pulled out and placed on the placement surface.

[0029] In the model toy of the third aspect, the main body has an orthogonal wall portion arranged in a shape that is approximately perpendicular to the placement surface of the tray, and a parallel wall portion arranged in a shape that is approximately parallel to the placement surface of the tray, and the standing wall portion extends from the orthogonal wall portion, and the parallel wall portion has a holding portion that clamps and holds a portion of the standing wall portion.

[0030] With this configuration, the standing wall portion is more likely to bend in the clamping direction of the holding portion than when the standing wall portion is fixed to the top plate portion. Therefore, when the figure on the mounting surface rises along the cutout portion, the standing wall portion bends in the clamping direction of the holding portion, the stress that the figure receives from the standing wall portion is alleviated, and the figure rises smoothly along the cutout portion. Therefore, the cutout portion makes it easier to invert the figure on the mounting surface.

[0031] The cooking toy of the first aspect comprises a main body, a tray having a placing surface and accommodated inside the main body so as to be freely pulled out, and a figure having a front and back surface and placed on the placing surface so as to be reversible, wherein the main body has a standing wall extending from the inside of the main body onto the placing surface so that the wall surface is aligned with the pulling-out direction of the tray, and the standing wall has a notch cut out in an arc shape so as to face the pulling-out side of the tray.

[0032] With this configuration, by pushing the tray with the figurative object placed on the placing surface into the inside of the main body, the figurative object will come into contact with the notch on the placing surface, ride up along the notch, and then rise up along the notch and flip over. Therefore, by placing a figurative object on the placing surface of the tray, whose decoration indicating the cooking state is different before and after flipping, and pushing the tray into the inside of the main body and then pulling it out, you can easily enjoy playing with it, simulating the changes in state before and after cooking.

[0033] In the cooking toy according to the second aspect, the placing surface is rectangular, and the figured body is flat and conforms to the placing surface, with its edges rounded.

[0034] According to this configuration, the figure is accommodated within the tray. When the figure climbs onto the notch, the figure is prevented from getting caught on a part of the upright wall, and climbs onto the notch smoothly. This makes it easier for the figure to climb onto the notch. As a result, the figure can be easily turned over by the notch.

[0035] Although the embodiments of the present invention have been described above, the present invention is not limited to the above embodiments and various modifications are possible without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention. For example, in the above embodiments, a pie dough model is used as an example of the figural body, but the present invention is not limited to this and various figural bodies that imitate food can be used. Furthermore, in the above embodiments, a configuration in which one standing wall portion is provided on the main body portion is exemplified, but a configuration in which multiple standing wall portions with cutouts are provided on the main body portion in the left-right direction may also be used.
