Detailed Description

Hereinafter, embodiments will be described in detail with reference to the drawings. The following embodiments do not limit the inventions of the claims, and the combinations of all the features described in the embodiments are not necessarily essential embodiments of the inventions. Two or more of the plurality of features described in the embodiments may be arbitrarily combined. The same or similar components are denoted by the same reference numerals, and redundant description thereof is omitted.

Fig. 1 is a schematic view of a model toy M of a human figure 1 of an embodiment. In the present specification, when the positional relationship of each part is described, there are cases where front (front), rear (rear), left (left side), right (right side), upper (upper), lower (lower), and the like are described, and these expressions are relative expressions with reference to the human figure 1. For example, the front corresponds to the front side of the human body 1, and the rear corresponds to the rear side of the human body 1.

The human body 1 includes a head 11, a body 12, arms 13, a waist 14, and legs 15. The main body 12 is a part including a shoulder, a chest, and an abdomen. The main body 12 is configured to wear a garment 121.

The arm portion 13 extends from the shoulder portion of the main body 12, and a ring-shaped ornament 131 is worn around the arm portion. The ornament 131 is an ornament having the same design as the clothing 121 in the present embodiment, but may be an ornament having a design different from the clothing 121 (for example, a bracelet) in another embodiment.

Fig. 2 is a schematic view (a schematic perspective view or an exploded view showing a state before assembly) of accessories PT1 to PT9 which are parts of a plurality of members (members for a model toy) constituting the model toy M. The fittings PT1 to PT9 are connected to one or more other fittings so as to be able to be inserted into and removed from each other, thereby forming the main body 12 and the arm 13 shown in fig. 1. Among these connections between the fittings PT1 to PT9, connections not described in the present specification are realized by a well-known connection structure.

The fitting PT1 forms a shoulder portion and a part of the arm portion 13 in the main body portion 12 as a skin-exposed portion of the human body 1. The fitting PT2 mimics underwear and substantially forms the chest and abdomen of the main body 12 and is connected from below with respect to the fitting PT 1. The fitting PT3 is connected so as to cover the fitting PT2 from the front, in a manner similar to the front of the outer garment covering the chest and the upper abdomen of the main body 12. The fitting PT4 is connected to the lower portion of the fitting PT3 from the front, in a manner similar to a garnish (a part of a belt-shaped waistband in the present embodiment) covering the lower abdominal portion of the body 12. The fitting PT5 is configured to cover the back side of the body 12, in this embodiment, the lower part of the back side (the back side of the abdomen), partially cover the fitting PT2, and be connected to the fitting PT3 from behind, in a manner similar to the rear part of a garment. Thus, the accessories PT3 and PT5 form a single garment as the garment 121 shown in fig. 1.

Here, in order to form the clothing 121 with the parts PT3 and PT5 in a proper manner, the same material and the same coloring process may be used for them. In order to allow the underwear-imitating attachment PT2 to be visually confirmed through the attachment PT3, the attachment PT3 may be made of a transparent or translucent material, and preferably may be made of a light-transmitting material such as a resin so that the light transmittance in the visible light region is 10% or more and 90% or less. Further preferably, the light transmittance satisfies 30% or more and/or 70% or less. Incidentally, the fitting PT5 can also be configured to achieve the same light transmittance.

The fittings PT6 and PT7 are respectively formed in an inner portion (inner half) and an outer portion (outer half) of the garnish 131 shown in fig. 1, and are connected to each other to form a ring shape. The fitting PT8 is configured in a ring shape so as to form a lower portion of the ornament 131, and is connected to the fitting PT6 and the fitting PT7 connected to each other from below to form the ring-shaped ornament 131. The fitting PT9 is connected as an arm 13 to the shoulder of the body 12 formed by the fitting PT1, and penetrates the annular ornament 131 formed by the fittings PT6 to PT 8. That is, the fittings PT6 to PT8 are connected to each other to simulate the ornament 131, and the fitting PT9 forms the arm portion 13 on which the ornament 131 is worn.

As described above, in the present embodiment, since the accessory 131 has the same design as the garment 121, the accessories PT6 to PT8 can be configured to achieve the same light transmittance as the accessories PT3 and PT 5.

However, the fitting PT6 and the fitting PT7 are connected to each other in a pluggable manner, but in the present embodiment, they are of a relatively fine (or relatively complicated) design as the ornament 131 through which the arm portion 13 passes. Therefore, their connection structure is intended to maintain a desired strength and to be realized in a relatively small size. In the present embodiment, the fittings PT6 and PT7 are configured to have light transmittances that achieve transparency or translucency, and therefore, the connection structure between them is preferably achieved relatively easily without being conspicuous.

Fig. 3 is a schematic view of a fitting (1 st fitting) PT7 forming an outer side portion of the garnish 131 as viewed from an inner wall side of the fitting PT7 in a direction parallel to a direction of insertion and extraction between the fitting PT7 and the fitting PT 6. Fig. 4 is a perspective view of the fitting PT7 viewed from the inner wall side from another angle of view. Here, the inner wall refers to a surface on the inner side (the fitting PT6 side) of the ring shape of the ornament 131 when the fitting PT7 and the fitting PT6 are connected.

The fitting PT7 includes a connection portion (1 st connection portion) 21. The connection portion 21 may be provided in at least one of the main body portions of the fitting PT7, and in the present embodiment, 4 connection portions 21 are provided. As shown in fig. 3, each connection portion 21 extends in an L-shape from the main body portion of the metal fitting PT 7. Specifically, each connection portion 21 includes an extension portion (1 st extension portion) 211 extending from the inner wall of the main body portion of the fitting PT7 and another extension portion (2 nd extension portion) 212 extending from the extension portion 211 in a direction intersecting the extending direction of the extension portion 211. That is, the connection portion 21 may be substantially L-shaped, and may include a shape that is bent or curved so that the extending direction thereof changes at a predetermined position away from the inner wall while extending from the inner wall of the main body of the fitting PT7, for example, a J-shape, a T-shape, or the like, or a shape in which these shapes are inverted left and right, inverted up and down, or rotated.

In the present embodiment, a pair of connection portions 21 (4 connection portions 21 in total) are provided on both the one side and the other side of the main body portion of the metal fitting PT 7. A pair of connection portions 21 on one lateral side (e.g., the left side in fig. 3) is such that their extension portions 212 are located between their extension portions 211. The pair of connection portions 21 on the other lateral side (for example, the right side in fig. 3) are such that their extending portions 211 are located between their extending portions 212.

Here, a surface of the metal fitting PT7 facing the metal fitting PT6 is referred to as a surface (1 st surface) F7. As will be described in detail later, in the present embodiment, the extending portion 211 of 1 of the 4 connection portions 21 is formed with the protruding portion 23 protruding in a direction away from the extending portion 212. As can also be seen from fig. 4, the projection 23 extends from the face F7.

Fig. 5 is a schematic view of a fitting (2 nd fitting) PT6 forming an inner part of the garnish 131 as viewed from an inner wall side of the fitting PT6 in a direction parallel to a direction of insertion and extraction between the fitting PT6 and the fitting PT 7. Fig. 6 is a perspective view of the fitting PT6 viewed from the inner wall side from another angle of view. Here, as in fig. 3 to 4, the inner wall here refers to the surface on the inner side (the fitting PT7 side) of the ring shape of the ornament 131 when the fitting PT6 and the fitting PT7 are connected.

The fitting PT6 includes a connection portion (2 nd connection portion) 22. The connection portions 22 are provided in the main body portion of the metal fitting PT6 so as to be engageable with the connection portions 21, and in the present embodiment, a pair of (4 in total) connection portions 22 are provided on both one side and the other side so as to correspond to the 4 connection portions 21 described above. Each of the connection portions 22 is formed in a U shape so that an extension portion 212 (see fig. 3 to 4) of the connection portion 21 is fitted therein.

In this way, extension portion 212 of connection portion 21 is fitted to U-shaped connection portion 22, and the contact area between connection portion 22 and extension portion 212 can be increased. Thus, even if the size of the

connection portions

21 and 22 is reduced, the connection strength between the fittings PT6 and PT7 can be maintained.

In the present embodiment, since the pair of connection portions 21 on the one side (the left side in fig. 3) are positioned such that the extension portions 212 thereof are positioned between the extension portions 211 thereof, the corresponding pair of connection portions 22 (the right side in fig. 5) can be provided integrally. On the other hand, since the pair of connection portions 21 on the other lateral side (the right side in fig. 3) have their extending portions 211 positioned between their extending portions 212, the corresponding pair of connection portions 22 (the left side in fig. 5) are provided apart from each other.

Here, the connection portion 21 of the fitting PT7 extends in the insertion/extraction direction between the fitting PT7 and the fitting PT 6. In addition, with the fitting PT6, the connection portion 22 extends in the insertion and extraction direction between the fitting PT6 and the fitting PT 7. According to such a configuration, one of the fitting PT6 and the fitting PT7 is moved closer to the other in the inserting/removing direction, and the

connection portions

21 and 22 are connected to each other, whereby the connection therebetween can be appropriately achieved.

The connection between the metal fittings PT6 and PT7 may be realized by one of a case where the connection portion 21 extends from the surface F7 and a case where the connection portion 22 corresponding to the connection portion 21 extends from the surface F6 (see fig. 4 and 6). In contrast, each set of the connection portions 21 and the corresponding connection portion 22 may be implemented independently.

In the present embodiment, the fitting PT6 is provided with a recessed portion 24 recessed so that the protruding portion 23 of the fitting PT7 can be fitted therein. This also makes it possible to further secure the connection between the metal fittings PT6 and PT 7.

As described above, according to the present embodiment, the connection portion 21 of the metal fitting PT7 extends from the main body portion of the metal fitting PT7 in an L shape and extends in the inserting and extracting direction with respect to the metal fitting PT6 and the metal fitting PT7 which are connected to each other so as to be insertable and extractable from each other. The connection portion 22 of the metal fitting PT6 is provided to extend in the insertion/removal direction in the main body of the metal fitting PT6 so as to be engageable with the connection portion 21.

With such a connection structure, the connection between the fitting PT6 and the fitting PT7 can be achieved with a relatively simple structure in a relatively small size while maintaining a desired strength, and in the present embodiment, the ornament 131 formed by the connection can be achieved with a relatively fine design.

In the present embodiment, the fittings PT6 and PT7 are made of a transparent or translucent material, but they may be made of a non-transparent material. On the other hand, in the case of the present embodiment (in the case where the fittings PT6 and PT7 are made of a transparent or translucent material), the above-described attachment structure can be made inconspicuous, and the ornament 131 can be more closely simulated.

In the present embodiment, the form in which the

connection portions

21 and 22 are provided in a pair on both the one side and the other side of the main body portion of the fittings PT7 and PT6 has been exemplified, but the present invention is not limited to this example. That is, the metal fitting PT6 and the metal fitting PT7 may be firmly connected while maintaining sufficient strength, and as another embodiment, a single connection portion 21 may be provided in the main body of the metal fitting PT7, and a corresponding single connection portion 22 may be provided in the main body of the metal fitting PT 6. In still another embodiment, at least 1 connection portion 21/22 may be provided on one side and the other side of the main body portion of the metal fitting PT7/PT6, respectively, so as to firmly connect the metal fitting PT6 and the metal fitting PT 7.

As described above, in the present embodiment, the pair of connection portions 21 on one side (left side in fig. 3) is such that the extension portions 212 are positioned between the extension portions 211, and the pair of connection portions 21 on the other side (right side in fig. 3) is such that the extension portions 211 are positioned between the extension portions 212. Thereby, the positioning of one of the fittings PT6 and PT7 relative to the other becomes easier. However, the connection structure of the fitting PT6 and the fitting PT7 is not limited to this example, and the pair of connection portions 21 on either side may be such that the extension portions 212 (or 211) are located between the extension portions 211 (or 212).

The present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiments, and various modifications and changes can be made within the scope of the present invention.
