Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] The present invention relates to a cloth educational toy. [Background technology]

[0002] BACKGROUND ART Conventionally, picture books have been known in which small holes are formed in the pages, and through which a part of a picture displayed on the next page can be seen (for example, see Non-Patent Document 1). [Prior art documents] [Non-patent literature]

[0003] [Non-Patent Document 1] URL:https: / / www.peikko-moomin.jp / c / moomin / mmmedia / interbook / tokumasyoten / gd53524 Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0004] If the through-hole can be used to insert or remove a doll or the like, it can be used as a pop-up educational toy, thereby widening the range of play possibilities. However, the size of the hole is limited to the items that can be inserted and removed, and there are problems such as damage to the edge of the hole when an item of the same size is forced through, damaging the design and making it impossible to remove the inserted item. In particular, infants often insert their fingers into the hole while holding an item, making it difficult for them to remove their fingers by themselves. To avoid this, it was necessary to use a tearable material to allow it to tear, or to make the hole too large to prevent fingers from getting stuck, or to make the hole too small to allow insertion and removal. SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention has been made in view of the above problems, and has as its object to provide a cloth educational toy which allows easy insertion and removal of objects through holes. [Means for solving the problem]

[0005] The first means is a cloth sheet on which a pattern is displayed, a through hole is formed in the pattern, and a slit is formed which is connected to the through hole at one end and extends outward from the through hole. The size of the through hole can be substantially and effectively expanded by deformation when inserting or removing an object. , characterized by:

[0006] The second means is the first means, characterized in that a plurality of areas are formed, each displaying the image, and a through hole is formed in the image of at least one of the areas, allowing a portion of the image displayed in another area superimposed on the back to be exposed.

[0007] The third means is the second means, characterized in that a plurality of fabric sheets carrying the area displaying the picture are bound together.

[0008] The fourth means is the second means, characterized in that it is made up of a single cloth sheet, and the areas displaying the pattern are formed on the first and second sides of the cloth sheet, respectively, and a portion of the pattern of the other folded area can be exposed through the through hole formed in the pattern of at least one of the areas.

[0009] The fifth means is the fourth means, which includes a first fold line used when folding a rectangular fabric sheet in half so that opposing sides overlap each other; The first broken line The plurality of areas are each separated by a plurality of second folding lines that are provided at regular intervals in a direction perpendicular to the first folding line and are used for accordion folding. [Effects of the Invention]

[0010] According to the present invention, since the container is made of cloth, it is easy to insert and remove items through the through-hole. Also, since the container is made of cloth, it is easily deformed, so items can be inserted at various angles, depending on the size of the item. Furthermore, the back side can be seen through the through-hole, and by placing a book or the like against the back side, characters from the book can appear in the picture and be played with.

[0011] Furthermore, since one end of the bag is connected to the through-hole and has a slit extending outward from the through-hole, combined with the fact that it is made of cloth, the size of the through-hole can be substantially and effectively expanded, making it possible to insert and remove items larger than the through-hole, and also making it possible to easily insert and remove items of the same size as the through-hole. Furthermore, if the through-hole itself were to be expanded, it would have a significant impact on the composition of the pattern including the through-hole, but since it is a slit, it is not noticeable and has little impact on the composition of the pattern. In other words, the size of the through-hole can be freely determined, with the composition of the pattern taking priority.

[0012] Furthermore, because the slits are formed, the size of the through-hole is effectively expanded, and even if the object is the same size as the through-hole, it can be inserted and removed at various angles. As a result, for example, the appearance of the doll can be changed, and a cloth educational toy that is that much more fun can be realized.

[0013] Furthermore, those made from a single cloth sheet can be carried in a pocket or the like, allowing picture books to be enjoyed anytime, anywhere. [Brief explanation of the drawings]

[0015] Hereinafter, an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 is a diagram showing the first side (side A) of the cloth educational toy in an unfolded state and a doll 20, and FIG. 2 is a diagram showing the second side (side B) of the cloth educational toy in an unfolded state. The cloth educational toy 10 is made up of one cloth sheet.

[0016] ≪Side A≫ Side A is a horizontally long rectangle divided into eight areas A1 to A8 of the same shape (vertically long rectangles). In the upper section, areas A1 to A4 are formed from left to right along side E1, and in the lower section, areas A5 to A8 are formed from right to left along side E2 opposite side E1. When side A is folded in half with a mountain fold so that sides E1 and E2 overlap, and then folded again with an accordion fold in the direction perpendicular to that, areas A1 to A4 become pages 1 to 4, as shown in Figure 7. When turned over, areas A5 to A8 become pages 5 to 8, as shown in Figure 8. Each area is assigned a page number.

[0017] Areas A1 to A4 each display a pattern with side E1 as the head and side E2 as the bottom, and areas A5 to A8 each display a pattern with side E2 as the head and side E1 as the bottom. In other words, the patterns in areas A1 to A4 and areas A5 to A8 are upside down.

[0018] Furthermore, circular through-holes H1 to H8 are formed in each of the areas A1 to A8. The through-holes H1 to H8 are formed in locations that do not interfere with the respective images. Specifically, for example, through-holes H1, H3, H5, H7, and H8 are formed in the sky in the background, through-holes H2 and H4 in the leaf areas of the plants in the background, and through-hole H6 in the grass area in the background. These through holes H1 to H4 and through holes H5 to H8 are formed at positions that do not overlap with each other when surface A is folded in half so that side E1 and side E2 overlap. When side A is folded in half with a mountain fold so that side E1 and side E2 overlap, patterns AH1 to AH8, which will be described later on side B, are displayed within these through holes H1 to H8, as shown in FIGS.

[0019] Furthermore, areas A1 to A8 all display a common design including an object with a face. Specifically, areas A1 to A7 display different animal designs with faces, while area A8 displays a sun design with a face. Face designs BH1 to BH8, surrounded by dotted circles, are the parts that are exposed through holes H8 to H1 when viewed from side B when side A is folded in half with a valley fold so that sides E1 and E2 overlap.

[0020] ≪Side B≫ Side B is divided into eight areas B1 to B8 of the same shape, with areas B1 to B4 formed in the lower row from right to left along side E2, and areas B5 to B8 formed in the upper row from left to right along side E1. When side B is folded in half with a mountain fold so that sides E2 and E1 overlap, and then folded again with an accordion fold in the direction perpendicular to that, areas B1 to B4 become pages 1 to 4, as shown in Figure 9. When turned over, areas B5 to B8 become pages 5 to 8, as shown in Figure 10. Each area is assigned a page number.

[0021] Areas B1 to B4 display a pattern with side E2 as the head and side E1 as the base, and areas B5 to B8 display a pattern with side E1 as the head and side E2 as the base. In other words, the patterns in areas B1 to B4 and areas B5 to B8 are upside down.

[0022] Furthermore, the above-mentioned through-holes H1 to H8 (the same as the through-holes H1 to H8 on side A) are formed in each of the areas B1 to B8. The circular through-holes H1 to H8 are formed within the central pattern. Specifically, through-holes H8, H7, and H5 are formed in the animal face portions of areas B1, B2, and B4, through-hole H6 is formed in the inflorescence portion of area B3, through-hole H4 is formed in the apple portion of area B5, through-hole H3 is formed in the mushroom portion of area B6, through-hole H2 is formed in the balloon portion of area B7, and through-hole H1 is formed in the crescent moon portion of area B8. When side B is folded in half with a mountain fold so that side E1 and side E2 overlap, the patterns BH1 to BH8 on side A are displayed inside the holes H1 to H8, as shown in Figures 5 and 6. In other words, the faces of animals and the sun are displayed inside the holes H1 to H8.

[0023] Furthermore, areas B1-B8 display patterns AH1-AH8 that are exposed within holes H1-H8 when viewed from side A when side B is folded in half with a valley fold so that sides E1 and E2 overlap. These patterns AH1-AH8 are indicated by dotted circles. Specifically, area B1 displays a single butterfly pattern AH1, area B2 displays a two-butterfly pattern AH2, area B3 displays a three-bird pattern AH3, area B4 displays a four-ladybug pattern AH4, area B5 displays a five-dragonfly pattern AH5, area B6 displays a six-mushroom pattern AH6, area B7 displays a seven-balloon pattern AH7, and area B8 displays a eight-musical note pattern AH8.

[0024] FIG. 11 is an enlarged view showing the periphery of the through hole H and the slit K. Here, the through holes H (through holes H1 to H8) are circular. The through holes H have a slit K formed therein, one end of which is connected to the through holes H and which extends outward from the through holes H. The slit K widens in a trumpet shape toward the through holes H. The slit K may also be linear.

[0025] <How to use> When using it in the unfolded state, use either side A or side B. On the A side, you can play by telling stories related to the objects displayed on the pictures or by putting dolls 20 (Fig. 1) into the holes H1 to H8. On the B side, children can play by predicting what will appear in the holes H1 to H8, guessing the name of the animal, counting the number of objects, telling a story related to the objects displayed on the picture, or putting dolls 20 into the holes H1 to H8.

[0026] On the other hand, when using it in a folded state, either fold side A in half with a mountain fold so that sides E1 and E2 overlap, and then fold it again in an accordion fold in the direction perpendicular to that, with side A facing out (Figures 7 and 8), or fold side A in half with a valley fold so that sides E1 and E2 overlap, and then fold it again in an accordion fold in the direction perpendicular to that, with side B facing out (Figures 9 and 10). When the A side is turned over, pictures AH1 to AH8 will appear in the holes H1 to H8, allowing children to play by guessing the names and numbers of the objects that have appeared, or by telling stories related to the objects displayed in the pictures, including the objects that have appeared. Also, when the B side is turned over, face patterns BH8 to BH1 are exposed in the holes H1 to H8, so you can have fun by having the child guess the name of the object that appears or telling a story related to the objects displayed in the patterns, including the object that has appeared.

[0027] (Effects of the embodiment) The cloth educational toy 10 of the embodiment can provide the following effects.

[0028] According to the cloth educational toy 10 of the embodiment, since it is made of cloth, it is easy to insert and remove objects through the through-hole. Also, since it is made of cloth, it is easy to deform, so objects can be inserted at various angles, depending on the size of the object. In addition, the back side can be seen through the through-hole H, and by placing a book or the like against the back side, characters from the book or the like can appear in the picture and play with it.

[0029] Furthermore, according to the embodiment of the cloth educational toy 10, a slit K is formed with one end connected to the through-hole H and extending outward from the through-hole H. Combined with the fact that it is made of cloth, this allows the size of the through-hole H to be substantially and effectively expanded, making it possible to insert and remove objects larger than the through-hole H, and also making it possible to easily insert and remove objects of the same size as the through-hole H. Furthermore, if the through hole H itself were to be enlarged, it would have a large impact on the composition of the picture including the through hole H, but since it is a slit K, it is not noticeable and has little impact on the composition of the picture. In other words, the size of the through hole can be freely determined, giving priority to the composition of the picture.

[0030] Furthermore, since the slit K substantially expands the size of the through-hole H, it becomes possible to insert and remove objects of the same size as the through-hole H at various angles. As a result, for example, the appearance of the doll 20 can be varied, thereby realizing a fabric educational toy that is much more enjoyable. Also, since it is made of cloth, even if your hands rub against it, the risk of abrasions is reduced.

[0031] Furthermore, since it is made of cloth, it can be folded into any shape, so different designs can be exposed from the same through-hole H depending on how it is folded. In addition, since it is made from a single cloth sheet, it can be carried in a pocket or the like, allowing you to enjoy picture books anytime, anywhere.

[0032] <Variations> For example, although the cloth educational toy of the present invention is made of a single piece of cloth, two or more pieces of cloth may be overlapped and used. In this case, it is sufficient that at least one of the cloth sheets has a through hole formed therein.

[0033] Alternatively, a plurality of fabric sheets of the same shape may be bound at one end. In this case, too, it is sufficient that at least one page has a through hole that reaches the back page.

[0034] The shape of the through holes is not limited to a circle, and a plurality of through holes may be formed in one design.

[0035] Furthermore, holes (linear cuts) for hanging the doll can be formed in parts of the fabric sheet. [Explanation of symbols]
