Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Industrial Application Field] The present invention relates to a picture-matching toy that is equipped with a float and has a plurality of floating bodies with predetermined patterns displayed on their bottom surfaces floating in water, and that allows the user to match the pictures of these floating bodies.

[Prior Art] Conventionally, similar "games" using playing cards are generally well known.

[Problems to be solved by the invention] Many of the "picture matching games" use cards, including those using playing cards in the conventional technology mentioned above, and the cards used here are not used in other card games. In reality, it resembled a number-matching or symbol-matching game, and was suitable for relatively older children.

[Means for Solving the Problems] The present invention has been made in view of the problems in the conventional techniques described above, and is composed of a plurality of floating bodies each having a float and having a predetermined pattern displayed on the bottom surface. A plurality of floating objects having the same design displayed on the floating objects are regarded as one set, and the floating object is constituted by a plurality of floating objects each displaying a plurality of sets of symbols.

[Operation] A plurality of floating bodies each displaying a plurality of sets of different symbols, each with the same design, are floated on water, and points are earned if at least two floating bodies are picked up and the patterns on the bottom side match. If there is a mismatch, the pictures are floated again on the water and the next player in turn can match the pictures.

[Example] An example of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

The floating body 1 has a spherical head, and the spherical head is made of synthetic resin and is hollow inside to serve as a float 3. An annular collar 2 is provided protruding from the lower part of the float 3, and through holes 4, 4 are bored in the upper surface of the collar 2 for venting air. The surface of the float 3 is formed to have the appearance of an octopus, and is formed to have the appearance of an octopus as a whole including the collar 2 protruding from the lower part. When this floating body 1 is floated on water, the collar 2 functions as a weight, and the octopus-shaped floating body 1 floats upright on the water surface.

A predetermined pattern 5... is displayed on the smooth surface of the floating body 1 surrounded by the collar 2. These symbols are used for picture matching, and the player picks up the floating object 1 floating on the water and looks at the bottom surface of the float 3 to confirm the symbol. One set is composed of an even number of floating bodies 1, and the same pattern is displayed on a plurality of floating bodies 1 (preferably two floating bodies 1).

[Effects of the invention] The invention is constructed as described above,
Since the floating body has a collar 2 protruding from the lower surface of the float, the pattern cannot be seen when it is standing upright, and it can be played even when it is floating on the water surface or placed on a desk or the like. Furthermore, since the floating object floats appropriately when it is floating on the water surface, it becomes more interesting as a game, and it can also be provided as a "bath toy" suitable for playing in the bathroom.
