[0039] The roof portion 6 imitates an upper portion of the citrus fruit such as orange. As shown in FIGS. 1 and 6, the roof portion 6 includes a roof hole portion 61 and the lid portion 62. As shown in FIG. 6, the roof hole portion 61 is formed at a top portion 63 of the roof portion 6. The roof hole portion 61 has a substantially circular shape in a plan view.

[0040] As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the lid portion 62 is disposed on the top portion 63 of the roof portion 6 in a removable state. In a state in which the lid portion 62 is disposed on the top portion 63, the lid portion 62 covers the roof hole portion 61 (see FIG. 6).

[0041] As shown in FIG. 1, each filled portion 7 has a substantially cylindrical shape. As shown in FIGS. 7, 8, and 10, each filled portion 7 includes a filling hole portion 71 and a first hole portion 72. As shown in FIGS. 7 and 8, the filling hole portion 71 is formed in an upper end portion of the filled portion 7. The diameter of the filling hole portion 71 is, for example, 5.6 mm. That is, the diameter of the filling hole portion 71 is larger than the diameter of the beverage toy 2. Therefore, the user can fill the filled portion 7 with the beverage toy 2 by supplying the beverage toy 2 from the filling hole portion 71. That is, the filled portion 7 can be filled with the beverage toy 2.

[0042] As shown in FIG. 10, the first hole portion 72 is provided in a bottom surface of the filled portion 7. The first hole portion 72 is provided in each of the plurality of filled portions 7. The diameter of the first hole portion 72 is, for example, 5.8 mm. That is, the diameter of the first hole portion 72 is larger than the diameter of the beverage toy 2. Therefore, the first hole portion 72 allows the beverage toy 2 to pass therethrough.

[0043] As shown in FIGS. 1 and 9, the placement portion 8 has a substantially circular shape in a plan view. The placement portion 8 is disposed between the second member 42 of the base portion 4 and the filled portions 7. The placement portion 8 is disposed above the second member 42, and a lower end portion 8A (see FIG. 10) of the placement portion 8 is inserted into the cavity portion 422 (see FIG. 5) of the second member 42. The plurality of filled portions 7 are placed on an upper surface of the placement portion 8. In this way, the placement portion 8 allows the filled portions 7 to be placed thereon.

[0044] As shown in FIGS. 7 to 10, the placement portion 8 includes one second hole portion 81, the circular hole portion 82, and an accommodation space 83. The placement portion 8 has the substantially circular shape in the plan view. The placement portion 8 is positioned below the filled portions 7.

[0045] The second hole portion 81 is disposed below one first hole portion 72 among the first hole portions 72 of the filled portions 7. The second hole portion 81 allows the beverage toy 2 having passed through the first hole portion 72 to pass therethrough. The placement portion 8 is rotatable clockwise or counterclockwise. That is, the placement portion 8 is rotatable in a direction intersecting a direction (the up-down direction in FIG. 1) in which the beverage toy 2 passes through the first hole portion 72 and the second hole portion 81. In this way, the placement portion 8 is movable in a predetermined direction. When the placement portion 8 rotates clockwise or counterclockwise, one first hole portion 72 positioned immediately above the second hole portion 81 is changed.

[0046] As shown in FIGS. 8 and 9, the circular hole portion 82 is formed at a position closer to a center C1 of the placement portion 8 than the second hole portion 81. That is, the circular hole portion 82 is positioned inside with respect to the second hole portion 81. The circular hole portion 82 is positioned directly below an outlet hole 103 of the passing portion 10 to be described later.

[0047] As shown in FIG. 10, the accommodation space 83 is formed in the lower end portion 8A. As shown in FIGS. 1 and 10, the accommodation space 83 can accommodate the placement board portion 412 of the first member 41 and the support portion 12. The accommodation space 83 includes a first accommodation space 831 and a second accommodation space 832. The first accommodation space 831 is wider than the second accommodation space 832. The first accommodation space 831 is positioned forward with respect to the second accommodation space 832.

[0048] As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the cylindrical portion 9 is hollow. The cylindrical portion 9 is disposed between the roof portion 6 and the placement portion 8. The passing portion 10 is accommodated inside the cylindrical portion 9.

[0049] The passing portion 10 is hollow. The passing portion 10 allows the fruit toy 1 supplied from an inlet portion 1122 (see FIG. 6) of the insertion member 11 to be described later to pass therethrough. The passing portion 10 allows the insertion member 11 to be inserted therein. As shown in FIGS. 1, 7, and 10, the passing portion 10 includes an inlet hole 101, a guide portion 102, the outlet hole 103, a first insertion portion 104, and a second insertion portion 105.

[0050] As shown in FIG. 7, the inlet hole 101 is a substantially U-shaped hole in a plan view. The inlet hole 101 is formed in an upper surface of the passing portion 10. The inlet hole 101 is positioned directly below the inlet portion 1122. The inlet hole 101 allows the fruit toy 1 supplied from the inlet portion 1122 to pass therethrough.

[0051] As shown in FIG. 1, the guide portion 102 has a spiral shape. The guide portion 102 guides the fruit toy 1 supplied from the inlet portion 1122. When the insertion member 11 is not inserted into the passing portion 10, the fruit toy 1 supplied from the inlet portion 1122 passes through the passing portion 10 without being guided by the guide portion 102. On the other hand, when the insertion member 11 is inserted into the passing portion 10, the fruit toy 1 passes through the passing portion 10 while being guided by the guide portion 102.

[0052] As shown in FIG. 10, the outlet hole 103 is formed in a lower surface of the passing portion 10. The outlet hole 103 is positioned directly above the circular hole portion 82 of the placement portion 8. Therefore, the fruit toy 1 having passed through the passing portion 10 moves to the placement portion 8 via the outlet hole 103.

[0053] As shown in FIG. 7, the first insertion portion 104 includes a first notch portion 1041 and a first space 1042. The second insertion portion 105 includes a second notch portion 1051 and a second space 1052. The user inserts a first protruding portion 1123 of the insertion member 11 to be described later into the first notch portion 1041 and inserts a second protruding portion 1124 of the insertion member 11 to be described later into the second notch portion 1051, and then, for example, rotates the insertion member 11 counterclockwise to move the first protruding portion 1123 in the first space 1042 and move the second protruding portion 1124 in the second space 1052, thereby fixing the insertion member 11 to the passing portion 10. As described above, the first insertion portion 104 allows the first protruding portion 1123 to be inserted therein, and the second insertion portion 105 allows the second protruding portion 1124 to be inserted therein.

[0054] As shown in FIG. 11, the insertion member 11 has a substantially T shape in the front view. The insertion member 11 can be inserted into the passing portion 10 (see FIG. 1). In the states shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the insertion member 11 is inserted into the passing portion 10.

[0055] As shown in FIGS. 11 and 12, the insertion member 11 includes a rod-shaped portion 111 and a fixing portion 112 for fixing the insertion member 11 to the passing portion 10. As shown in FIG. 11, the rod-shaped portion 111 extends in the up-down direction. The rod-shaped portion 111 is positioned below the fixing portion 112.

[0056] As shown in FIGS. 11 and 12, the fixing portion 112 includes a grip portion 1121, the inlet portion 1122, the first protruding portion 1123, and the second protruding portion 1124. The grip portion 1121 extends upward. The grip portion 1121 has a substantially rectangular parallelepiped shape. The grip portion 1121 can be gripped by the user. The user can remove the insertion member 11 from the passing portion 10 by rotating the insertion member 11 to a predetermined position (a position where the first protruding portion 1123 moves to the first notch portion 1041 and the second protruding portion 1124 moves to the second notch portion 1051) in a state of gripping the grip portion 1121, and then lifting the insertion member 11 upward.

[0057] As shown in FIG. 6, the inlet portion 1122 is positioned below the roof hole portion 61 of the roof portion 6. As shown in FIG. 12, the inlet portion 1122 is provided behind the grip portion 1121. The inlet portion 1122 is a substantially circular hole portion. The diameter of the inlet portion 1122 is, for example, 9.3 mm. Therefore, the diameter of the inlet portion 1122 is larger than the diameter of the fruit toy 1. For this reason, the user can put the fruit toy 1 into the inlet portion 1122. The fruit toy 1 put into the inlet portion 1122 moves to the passing portion 10 (see FIG. 1).

[0058] As shown in FIGS. 11 and 12, the first protruding portion 1123 protrudes from an outer surface of the fixing portion 112 toward the outer right side of the fixing portion 112. The second protruding portion 1124 protrudes from the outer surface of the fixing portion 112 toward the outer left side of the fixing portion 112. The first protruding portion 1123 and the second protruding portion 1124 are provided to face each other with the grip portion 1121 therebetween. In this way, the first protruding portion 1123 and the second protruding portion 1124 are separated from each other.

[0059] As shown in FIG. 13, the support portion 12 includes a contact portion 121, a first protrusion portion 122, an elastic portion 123, and a second protrusion portion 124. As shown in FIG. 10, the contact portion 121 and the first protrusion portion 122 are accommodated in the first accommodation space 831 of the placement portion 8, and the elastic portion 123 and the second protrusion portion 124 are accommodated in the second accommodation space 832 of the placement portion 8. Further, in the up-down direction, a part (the first protrusion portion 122) of the support portion 12 is provided between the first hole portion 72 of the filled portion 7 and the second hole portion 81 of the placement portion 8 (see FIG. 15).

[0060] As shown in FIG. 13, the contact portion 121 has a plate shape. The contact portion 121 is positioned below the second hole portion 81 of the placement portion 8. A length D1 of the contact portion 121 in the up-down direction is larger than a length D2 of the accommodation toy 3 in the up-down direction (see FIG. 1). The contact portion 121 can be pressed by the accommodation toy 3. Therefore, it can be said that the accommodation toy 3 can press the support portion 12 below the second hole portion 81 of the placement portion 8.

[0061] As shown in FIG. 13, the first protrusion portion 122 is formed at an upper end portion of the contact portion 121. The first protrusion portion 122 extends forward from the upper end portion of the contact portion 121. The first protrusion portion 122 can come into contact with the beverage toy 2 filled in the filled portion 7. Therefore, the support portion 12 can support the beverage toy 2 filled in the filled portion 7. More specifically, the first protrusion portion 122 comes into contact with the second end portion 22 of the beverage toy 2 filled in the filled portion 7, whereby the support portion 12 supports the beverage toy 2 filled in the filled portion 7.

[0062] The elastic portion 123 has a substantially U shape. The elastic portion 123 is disposed behind the contact portion 121. When the contact portion 121 is pressed by the accommodation toy 3 and a force from the front to the rear is applied, the elastic portion 123 is deformed to contract rearward. Therefore, when being pressed by the accommodation toy 3, the contact portion 121 moves rearward. The elastic portion 123 returns to the original shape by an elastic force when the force applied to the elastic portion 123 is removed. Therefore, when the force applied to the elastic portion 123 is removed, the elastic portion 123 returns to the original shape, so that the contact portion 121 and the first protrusion portion 122 move forward.

[0063] The second protrusion portion 124 is formed at a rear end portion of the elastic portion 123. The second protrusion portion 124 extends rearward from the rear end portion of the elastic portion 123. As shown in FIG. 10, the second protrusion portion 124 is in contact with a rear end portion of the accommodation space 83. Therefore, even when the contact portion 121 is pressed by the accommodation toy 3, the second protrusion portion 124 does not move rearward.

[0064] As shown in FIGS. 2 and 10, the accommodation portion 13 is accommodated in the rectangular hole portion 411 provided in the rear surface of the first member 41. The accommodation portion 13 includes an accommodating main body 131 and a knob portion 132. The accommodating main body 131 accommodates the fruit toy 1 that has passed through the passing portion 10. The knob portion 132 is held by the user. The user can take out the accommodation portion 13 from the rectangular hole portion 411 by pulling the accommodation portion 13 rearward while pinching the knob portion 132.A Method of Playing the Beverage Store Toy 100

[0065] Next, a method of playing the beverage store toy 100 will be described in detail with reference to FIGS. 1, 2, and 14 to 17. FIG. 14 is a diagram showing the beverage store toy 100 in a state in which the insertion member 11 is not inserted into the passing portion 10. FIG. 15 is a diagram showing a state in which the filled portion 7 is filled with the first beverage toy 2A and the second beverage toy 2B, and the support portion 12 is not pressed by the accommodation toy 3. FIG. 16 is a diagram showing a state in which the support portion 12 is pressed by the accommodation toy 3. FIG. 17 is a diagram showing a state in which only the second beverage toy 2B is filled in the filled portion 7. The user can imitate a juicer and can imitate an operation of pouring juice into a cup by using the beverage store toy 100.

[0066] First, the imitation of the juicer will be described with reference to FIGS. 1, 2, and 14. Here, as shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, it is assumed that the insertion member 11 is inserted into the passing portion 10. When the user removes the lid portion 62 and exposes the roof hole portion 61, the fruit toy 1 is put into the inlet portion 1122 of the insertion member 11. The fruit toy 1 put into the inlet portion 1122 moves to the passing portion 10. As shown in FIG. 2, when the fruit toy 1 moves to the passing portion 10, since the insertion member 11 is inserted into the passing portion 10, the fruit toy 1 passes through the passing portion 10 while being guided by the guide portion 102. Specifically, the fruit toy 1 passes through the passing portion 10 while spirally rotating inside the passing portion 10. The fruit toy 1 having passed through the passing portion 10 passes through the outlet hole 103, the circular hole portion 82, the cavity portion 422, and the hole portion 413, and is accommodated in the accommodation portion 13.

[0067] Incidentally, since the user of the beverage store toy 100 is mainly a child, an object other than the fruit toy 1 (hereinafter, referred to as a foreign matter) may be erroneously put into the inlet portion 1122. In this case, unlike the fruit toy 1, the foreign matter put into the inlet portion 1122 may be unable to pass through the passing portion 10. When the foreign matter is unable to pass through the passing portion 10, the foreign matter does not pass through the passing portion 10, and thus the foreign matter is not accommodated in the accommodation portion 13. Therefore, for example, even if the user takes out the accommodation portion 13 from the rectangular hole portion 411, the user cannot take out the foreign matter from the beverage store toy 100. In addition, even if the beverage store toy 100 is inverted in the up-down direction in a state in which the lid portion 62 is removed, for example, when the foreign matter is caught in the middle of the passing portion 10, the foreign matter cannot be taken out from the beverage store toy 100.

[0068] On the other hand, a space S2 of the passing portion 10 in the state in which the insertion member 11 is not inserted into the passing portion 10 (that is, the state shown in FIG. 14) is wider than a space S1 of the passing portion 10 in a state in which the insertion member 11 is inserted into the passing portion 10 (that is, the state shown in FIG. 1). Therefore, even when the foreign matter put into the inlet portion 1122 cannot pass through the passing portion 10, the user can take out the foreign matter from the beverage store toy 100 by, for example, removing the insertion member 11 from the passing portion 10 and inverting the beverage store toy 100 in the up-down direction. Note that the fruit toy 1 passes through the passing portion 10 in both the state in which the insertion member 11 is not inserted into the passing portion 10 and the state in which the insertion member 11 is inserted into the passing portion 10.

[0069] Next, the imitation of the operation of pouring juice into the cup will be described with reference to FIGS. 15 to 17. In the state shown in FIG. 15, the first protrusion portion 122 of the support portion 12 is in contact with a second end portion 22A of the first beverage toy 2A. That is, in the state shown in FIG. 15, the first beverage toy 2A is supported by the support portion 12. The second beverage toy 2B is in contact with the first beverage toy 2A. That is, in the state shown in FIG. 15, the second beverage toy 2B is supported by the first beverage toy 2A.

[0070] As shown in FIG. 16, the user places the accommodation toy 3 on the placement board portion 412 of the first member 41 and then presses the contact portion 121 of the support portion 12 by the accommodation toy 3. When the contact portion 121 is pressed by the accommodation toy 3, the force from the front to the rear is applied to the elastic portion 123, and the elastic portion 123 is deformed to contract rearward. Therefore, the contact portion 121 moves rearward, and as a result, a supported state of the first beverage toy 2A achieved by the support portion 12 is released, so that the first beverage toy 2A moves downward and is accommodated in the accommodation toy 3. That is, when the support portion 12 is pressed by the accommodation toy 3 in the state in which the support portion 12 supports the first beverage toy 2A, the position of the support portion 12 is changed, and thus the supported state of the first beverage toy 2A achieved by the support portion 12 is released, and the first beverage toy 2A is accommodated in the accommodation toy 3. At this time, the second beverage toy 2B also moves downward as the first beverage toy 2A moves downward. However, even in this state, the second beverage toy 2B is in contact with the first beverage toy 2A, and the first beverage toy 2A is accommodated in the accommodation toy 3. Therefore, the second beverage toy 2B is not accommodated in the accommodation toy 3. That is, the first beverage toy 2A supports the second beverage toy 2B in a state in which the support portion 12 is pressed by the accommodation toy 3 and the first beverage toy 2A is accommodated in the accommodation toy 3. In this state, a second end portion 22B of the second beverage toy 2B is positioned in the vicinity of the first protrusion portion 122 of the support portion 12.

[0071] As shown in FIG. 17, in the state in which the first beverage toy 2A is accommodated in the accommodation toy 3, when the accommodation toy 3 is taken out by the user and the pressing of the accommodation toy 3 against the support portion 12 is released, the force applied to the elastic portion 123 is removed, and thus the elastic portion 123 returns to the original shape. As a result, since the contact portion 121 and the first protrusion portion 122 move forward, the first protrusion portion 122 comes into contact with the second end portion 22B of the second beverage toy 2B. That is, in a state in which the accommodation toy 3 is taken out in the state of accommodating the first beverage toy 2A in the accommodation toy 3, and the pressing of the accommodation toy 3 against the support portion 12 is released, the support portion 12 supports the second beverage toy 2B. At this time, since the second end portion 22B includes the first curved portion 221 and the second curved portion 222, when the first protrusion portion 122 comes into contact with the second end portion 22B of the second beverage toy 2B, the second beverage toy 2B can easily ride over the support portion 12. As described above, according to the beverage store toy 100, in a situation in which the second end portion 22B of the second beverage toy 2B is positioned below the support portion 12, the first protrusion portion 122 of the support portion 12 and the second end portion 22B of the second beverage toy 2B are brought into contact with each other, so that a state in which the second beverage toy 2B is supported by the support portion 12 can be easily achieved.

[0072] In the field of toys, there is a need to imitate a beverage store. However, a toy in the related art cannot imitate an operation of pouring a beverage such as juice into a cup or the like, and cannot imitate a beverage store. In this regard, there is room for improvement in the toy in the related art.

[0073] In contrast, according to the beverage store toy 100 of the present embodiment, when the support portion 12 is pressed by the accommodation toy 3 below the second hole portion 81 in a state in which the support portion 12 supports the beverage toy 2 filled in the filled portion 7, the position of the support portion 12 changes. When the position of the support portion 12 changes (specifically, when the support portion 12 moves rearward), the supported state of the beverage toy 2 achieved by the support portion 12 is released. When the supported state of the beverage toy 2 achieved by the support portion 12 is released, the beverage toy 2 passes through the first hole portion 72 and the second hole portion 81, and is accommodated in the accommodation toy 3. That is, in the beverage store toy 100, the user can imitate the operation of pouring a beverage such as juice into a cup or the like by pressing the support portion 12 with the accommodation toy 3 below the second hole portion 81. Thus, according to the beverage store toy 100, it is possible to imitate a beverage store with a simple configuration.

[0074] Further, in the beverage store toy 100 according to the present embodiment, the support portion 12 can come into contact with the second end portion 22 of the beverage toy 2, and the second end portion 22 includes the first curved portion 221 and the second curved portion 222. Therefore, when the support portion 12 and the second end portion 22 of the beverage toy 2 come into contact with each other, the beverage toy 2 can easily ride over the support portion 12. Therefore, for example, in a situation in which the second end portion 22 of the beverage toy 2 is positioned below the support portion 12, when it is desired to support the beverage toy 2 by the support portion 12, the support can be easily achieved by bringing the support portion 12 and the second end portion 22 of the beverage toy 2 into contact with each other.

[0075] Further, in the beverage store toy 100 according to the present embodiment, the second beverage toy 2B is supported by the first beverage toy 2A or the support portion 12 even in the state in which the support portion 12 is pressed by the accommodation toy 3 and the first beverage toy 2A is accommodated in the accommodation toy 3 (the state in which the pressing of the accommodation toy 3 against the support portion 12 is released). Accordingly, it is possible to prevent the beverage toys 2 from being accommodated in the accommodation toy 3 more than necessary, and it is possible to show a state in which the beverage toys 2 filled in the filled portion 7 gradually decrease, so that the playability is high.

[0076] Further, in the beverage store toy 100 according to the present embodiment, while the plurality of filled portions 7 can be placed on the placement portion 8, the beverage toys 2 can pass through the first hole portion 72 and the second hole portion 81 from only one filled portion 7, so that the playability can be improved.

[0077] Further, in the beverage store toy 100 according to the present embodiment, the fruit toy 1 passes through the passing portion 10 regardless of whether the insertion member 11 is inserted into the passing portion 10. On the other hand, even when the object (the foreign matter) other than the fruit toy 1 is put into the passing portion 10 in the state in which the insertion member 11 is inserted into the passing portion 10, the foreign matter can be taken out from the passing portion 10 via the inlet portion 1122 by taking out the insertion member 11 from the passing portion 10.

[0078] Further, in the beverage store toy 100 according to the present embodiment, the playability can be improved by using the guide portion 102 to guide the fruit toy 1 to pass through the passing portion 10 in the state in which the insertion member 11 is inserted into the passing portion 10, and when the foreign matter enters the passing portion 10, the foreign matter can be taken out from the passing portion 10 by taking out the insertion member 11 from the passing portion 10.

[0079] Further, in the beverage store toy 100 according to the present embodiment, it is possible to prevent the insertion member 11 from being unintentionally removed from the passing portion 10 in the state in which the insertion member 11 is inserted into the passing portion 10.

[0080] Further, in the beverage store toy 100 according to the present embodiment, the insertion member 11 can be more smoothly and more firmly fixed to the passing portion 10.

[0081] Further, in the beverage store toy 100 according to the present embodiment, it is possible to restrain an increase in the number of components.

[0082] According to the embodiment of the present disclosure described above, it is possible to provide a beverage store toy according to the following aspects.

[0083] A beverage store toy according to a first aspect includes: a beverage toy imitating a beverage; a filled portion configured to be filled with the beverage toy; a placement portion on which the filled portion is placed; a support portion configured to support the beverage toy filled in the filled portion; and an accommodation toy configured to accommodate the beverage toy, in which the filled portion is provided with, in a bottom surface thereof, a first hole portion through which the beverage toy passes, the placement portion includes a second hole portion that is disposed below the first hole portion and through which the beverage toy having passed through the first hole portion passes,

[0084] at least a part of the support portion is provided between the first hole portion and the second hole portion, the accommodation toy is capable of pressing the support portion below the second hole portion, and when the support portion is pressed by the accommodation toy in a state in which the support portion supports the beverage toy filled in the filled portion, a position of the support portion is changed, whereby a supported state of the beverage toy achieved by the support portion is released and the beverage toy is accommodated in the accommodation toy.

[0085] According to this configuration, when the support portion is pressed by the accommodation toy below the second hole portion in the state in which the support portion supports the beverage toy filled in the filled portion, the position of the support portion changes, and the supported state of the beverage toy achieved by the support portion is released. When the supported state of the beverage toy achieved by the support portion is released, the beverage toy passes through the first hole portion and the second hole portion, and is accommodated in the accommodation toy below the second hole portion. That is, in such a beverage store toy, the user can imitate the operation of pouring a beverage such as juice into a cup or the like by pressing the support portion with the accommodation toy below the second hole portion. Therefore, according to the beverage store toy having the above configuration, it is possible to imitate a beverage store with a simple configuration.

[0086] In the beverage store toy according to a second aspect, the support portion is capable of coming into contact with an end portion of the beverage toy, and the end portion includes a curved portion.

[0087] According to this configuration, since the support portion is capable of coming into contact with the end portion of the beverage toy, and the end portion of the beverage toy includes the curved portion, the beverage toy can easily ride over the support portion when the support portion and the end portion of the beverage toy come into contact with each other. Therefore, for example, in a situation in which the end portion of the beverage toy is positioned below the support portion, when it is desired to support the beverage toy by the support portion, the support can be easily achieved by bringing the support portion and the end portion of the beverage toy into contact with each other.

[0088] In the beverage store toy according to a third aspect, the beverage toy includes at least a first beverage toy and a second beverage toy to be filled in the filled portion next to the first beverage toy, the first beverage toy supports the second beverage toy in a state in which the support portion is pressed by the accommodation toy and the first beverage toy is accommodated in the accommodation toy, and the accommodation toy is taken out in a state in which the first beverage toy is accommodated in the accommodation toy, and the support portion supports the second beverage toy in a state in which the pressing of the accommodation toy against the support portion is released.

Accordingly, it is possible to prevent the beverage toys from being accommodated in the accommodation toy more than necessary, and it is possible to show a state in which the beverage toys filled in the filled portion gradually decrease, so that the playability is high.

[0090] The beverage store toy according to a fourth aspect includes a plurality of the filled portions, in which the plurality of filled portions are placed on the placement portion, the first hole portion is provided in the bottom surface of each of the plurality of filled portions, the placement portion includes one second hole portion, and only one of the first hole portions is positioned directly above the second hole portion, and the first hole portion is changed by moving the placement portion in a predetermined direction.

[0091] According to this configuration, while the plurality of filled portions can be placed on the placement portion, the beverage toys can pass through the first hole portion and the second hole portion from only one filled portion, so that the playability can be improved. More specifically, since it is possible to imitate an operation of putting one beverage selected from a plurality of beverages into a cup or the like, the playability is high.

[0092] The beverage store toy according to a fifth aspect further includes a fruit toy; an inlet portion through which the fruit toy is put in; a passing portion through which the fruit toy put in from the inlet portion passes; an insertion member insertable into the passing portion; and an accommodation portion configured to accommodate the fruit toy having passed through the passing portion, in which a space of the passing portion in a state in which the insertion member is not inserted into the passing portion is wider than a space of the passing portion in a state in which the insertion member is inserted into the passing portion, and the fruit toy passes through the passing portion in both the state in which the insertion member is not inserted into the passing portion and the state in which the insertion member is inserted into the passing portion.

[0093] According to this configuration, the fruit toy passes through the passing portion regardless of whether the insertion member is inserted into the passing portion. On the other hand, for example, even when an object, which has passed through the passing portion but cannot be accommodated in the accommodation portion, is put into the passing portion in the state in which the insertion member is inserted into the passing portion, the object can be taken out from the passing portion via the inlet portion by taking out the insertion member from the passing portion.

[0094] In the beverage store toy according to a sixth aspect, the passing portion includes a guide portion that guides the fruit toy, when the insertion member is not inserted into the passing portion, the fruit toy passes through the passing portion without being guided by the guide portion, and when the insertion member is inserted into the passing portion, the fruit toy passes through the passing portion while being guided by the guide portion.

[0095] According to this configuration, the playability can be improved by using the guide portion to guide the fruit toy to pass through the passing portion in the state in which the insertion member is inserted into the passing portion, and when the object other than the fruit toy enters the passing portion, the object can be taken out from the passing portion by taking out the insertion member from the passing portion.
