Detailed Description

Hereinafter, embodiments will be described in detail with reference to the drawings. The following embodiments do not limit the invention claimed in the claims, and a combination of all features described in the embodiments is not essential to the invention. Two or more of the plurality of features described in the embodiments may be combined as desired. The same or similar components are denoted by the same reference numerals, and redundant description thereof is omitted. Like reference symbols in the various drawings indicate like elements. In the drawings, the vertical and horizontal directions with respect to the paper surface are the vertical and horizontal directions of the members in the present embodiment, and are used in the description herein. In the present invention, polyvinyl chloride (PVC) having a hardness of about 75 is exemplified as a material constituting a toy body in the embodiments described below. PVC is easily deformed, has excellent restoring force to its original shape, and is a preferable material for maintaining the state in which the covering member is attached because the surface of PVC serves as a slip-proof function when covered with the covering member. The hardness of PVC is 75 as an example, but is not limited to 75 as long as the above function can be achieved. In addition, the material of the toy body is not limited to PVC, and other materials are not excluded. For other raw materials, the following are desirable: the cover member has a property of generating a certain frictional force on a contact surface with the cover member, and being capable of fixing the cover member to the surface of the material, and also having a property of being capable of deforming its shape by an external force and of returning to its original shape when the external force is released.

Fig. 1 is a perspective view showing an example of an appearance of a toy according to an embodiment of the present invention. In the present embodiment, the toy body 100 is configured by combining four core members 110, 120, 130, and 140. The core 110 is combined with the upper surface of the core 120, and the core 130 and the core 140 are combined with the bottom surface of the core 120. In the present embodiment, each core material is covered with a covering member, and each portion covered with the covering member is referred to as a "core portion". Each core is marked with an identifier (identifier, identification mark) for identifying the core, and in fig. 1, consecutive numbers 1 to 8 are marked. The form of the mark is not limited to a numeral, and any characters, figures, signs, marks, and the like can be used.

The core material constituting the toy body 100 has at least one core portion, and each of the core material 110 and the core material 130 has one core portion. The core material 120 has 6 cores. The core material 140 has a member which is partially integrated with the core material 120 to form a core portion (core portion assigned with nos. 6 and 7).

Next, the appearance of the toy body 100 is further explained with reference to fig. 2. Fig. 2 is a diagram showing an example of the appearance of the toy body 100 in six views. Fig. 2 (a) is a front view of the toy body 100, fig. 2 (B) is a right side view of the toy body 100, fig. 2 (C) is a top view of the toy body 100, fig. 2 (D) is a left side view of the toy body 100, fig. 2 (E) is a bottom view of the toy body 100, and fig. 2 (F) is a rear view of the toy body 100. As described above in connection with fig. 1, each core is marked with a mark for identifying each core.

Next, an example of the player body 100 being disassembled will be described with reference to fig. 3. As described above, the core 110 is combined with the upper surface side of the core 120. The core member 110 is formed with a convex portion (protrusion) 111 on the side combined with the core member 120, and the core member 110 is fixed to the core member 120 by inserting the convex portion 111 into a concave portion (opening) 121 formed on the side of the core member 120 and bringing the convex portion 111 into close contact with the concave portion 121. Further, the convex portion 111 is provided with a plurality of openings 112, and the convex portion 111 is compressed and deformed inward when inserted into the concave portion 121, so that the degree of coupling with respect to the concave portion 121 can be increased.

Next, another example of the player body 100 being disassembled will be described with reference to fig. 4. As described above, the core material 130 and the core material 140 are combined with the bottom surface side of the core material 120. The core 130 is formed with a convex portion (protrusion) 131 and an open portion 132 on the side combined with the core 120, the convex portion 131 is inserted into a concave portion (opening) 122 formed on the core 120 side, and the portion 123 of the core 120 not recessed is accommodated in the open portion 132, thereby fixing the core 130 to the core 120. Further, the plurality of openings 133 are formed in the convex portion 131, and the convex portion 131 is arbitrarily deformed when being inserted into the concave portion 122, so that the coupling degree with respect to the concave portion 122 can be improved.

Similarly, core 140 has convex portions (protrusions) 141 and 142 formed on the side combined with core 120, and a concave portion 143 formed between convex portions 141 and 142. Thus, the protrusions 141 and 142 are inserted into the recesses (openings) 124 and 125 formed on the core 120 side, and the portion 126 of the core 120 not recessed and having the letter H shape is received in the recess 143, thereby fixing the core 140 to the core 120. Further, the convex portions 141 and 142 are formed with openings, respectively, and the convex portions 141 and 142 are compressed and deformed inward when inserted into the concave portions 124 and 125, thereby increasing the degree of coupling with the concave portions 124 and 125.

The cores 130 and 140 are provided with recesses 134 and 144 for receiving the protrusions 127 of the core 120, respectively, and when the cores 130 and 140 are mounted on the core 120, the protrusions 127 are received in the recesses 134 and 144, respectively, thereby preventing the cores 130 and 140 from being displaced from the core 120 after mounting.

In the present embodiment, each core portion can be covered with the covering member, and in this case, it is necessary to maintain the covering state of the covering member without using an adhesive. The structure will be described with reference to fig. 5. Fig. 5 is a diagram showing an example of a cross-sectional structure of the toy 100.

Fig. 5 (base:Sub>A) shows an example of the internal structure of the toy body 100 of sectionbase:Sub>A-base:Sub>A' of fig. 2 (C). Fig. 5 (a) shows a cross section of the core material 110, 120, 130, 140. Fig. 5 (B) and 5 (D) show enlarged cross-sectional configurations of regions 501 and 502 surrounded by a broken line in fig. 5 (a).

Fig. 5 (B) shows an enlarged configuration of the boundary portion between the core material 110 and the core material 120. The thicknesses of the surface layers of the core material 110 and the core material 120 are d1 and d2, respectively. The thicknesses d1 and d2 may be substantially the same or different. As an example, the thicknesses d1 and d2 can be set to about 4mm. Recesses are formed on the surfaces of the core material 110 and the core material 120 adjacent to each other inside the surface layer. The concave portions are provided at positions separated from the surface of each core by a predetermined distance corresponding to the thickness d1 and the like, and the width of the concave portions inside the core 110 is d3 and the depth thereof is d4. The concave portion inside the core member 120 has a width d5 and a depth d 6. The values of d3 to d6 are all values larger than the thicknesses d1 and d2 of the surface layers of the core material 110 and the core material 120 and larger than the width d7 of the space (also referred to as a gap or a slit) between the core material 110 and the core material 120. In the present embodiment, the size of d7 can be set to, for example, approximately 2mm.

In the present embodiment, when the core portions of the core material 110 and the core material 120 are covered with the covering member, as shown in fig. 5C, the covering members 511 and 512 are partially housed in the recesses (covering portions 511a and 512 a), respectively, and the covering member once attached can be held in a state in which it is difficult to detach. The gap (gap d 7) between the core members can be substantially covered by housing two covering members, and cannot be visually recognized from the outside. In the present embodiment, the toy body 100 is made of PVC having a hardness of about 75, and is easily deformed and has excellent restoring force to its original shape. Therefore, when the cover members 511 and 512 are inserted between the core 110 and the core 120, the shape is deformed so that the cover members can be easily inserted by an external force, and the cover members 511 and 512 can be held inside by the restoring force after the cover members are inserted.

Returning to the description of fig. 5 (B), the surface sides of the adjacent end portions of the core material 110 and the core material 120 are subjected to corner rounding to remove corners. This improves the ease of inserting the covering member into the gap between the core members. Further, the contact area with the covering member is increased, so that the attached covering member can be made difficult to detach. Further, a corner portion is left on the side of the recess opposite to the front surface side of the end portion, and functions as a locking portion for locking the cover member inserted into the recess. Here, the recess side of the end portion may have a certain rounded shape when having a function of locking the cover member inserted into the recess. For example, if the rounding is performed with a radius of curvature smaller than that of the rounded portion on the surface side of the end portion, the corner portion on the recess side of the end portion can be removed to ensure safety while maintaining the effect of locking the cover member in the recess.

Fig. 5 (D) shows an enlarged configuration of the boundary portion between the core material 130 and the core material 140. The thicknesses of the surface layers of the core material 130 and the core material 140 are d11 and d12, respectively. The thicknesses d11 and d12 may be substantially the same thickness or different thicknesses. As an example, the thicknesses d11 and d12 can be set to about 4mm. A concave portion is also formed inside the surface layers of the core material 130 and the core material 140. The width of the concave portion inside the core 130 is d13. The width of the concave portion inside the core 140 is d 14. The values of d13 to d14 are smaller than the thicknesses d11 and d12 of the surface layers of the core material 130 and the core material 140, respectively, and larger than the width d15 of the space between the core material 130 and the core material 140. Here, as an example, the widths d13 and d14 can be set to about 3mm, and the interval d15 can be set to 2mm. Accordingly, when the core portions of the core material 130 and the core material 140 are covered with the covering member, the covering member can be compressed and stored in the recess, and thus the covering member can be reliably retained in the recess.

Next, fig. 6 is a diagram showing an example of the structure of the covering member corresponding to the present embodiment. Fig. 6 shows an example of the structure of the covering members 601 to 608 for covering the 8 core portions denoted by numerals 1 to 8 in fig. 2. Each of the cover members is denoted by reference numeral 611 corresponding to reference numerals 1 to 8 in fig. 2. The number 611 is given to the covering member so as to be located in the vicinity of the number given to the core when the covering member is attached to the core in the correct orientation. Note that, the reference numeral 611 also indicates a procedure in which the covering member can be easily attached when the covering member is attached to the core. Note that, since the serial number 611 is indicated in a portion of the covering member that is inserted into the gap between the core portions when the covering member is attached to the core portion, it does not appear on the surface of the toy body covered with the covering member. That is, each of the covering members includes a portion covering the core portion and a portion housed between the core portions.

Each cover member is marked with a positioning mark 612 for specifying an insertion position when the cover member is inserted by the insertion member. The surface of the core portion to which the covering member is attached can be regarded as having a deformed shape such as a quadrangle, a triangle, or an ellipse, and the apex of each shape, the intersection of the sides constituting each shape, or a point similar thereto is provided with a mark 612, and the tip portion of the insertion member 750 described later can be pressed against the mark 612 to press the covering member. The mark 612 has a V-letter shape to clearly indicate a position of abutment with the distal end portion of the insertion member 750.

Each covering member is marked with a broken line 613, the broken line 613 represents a schematic shape of the core, and the outer shape of each covering member corresponds to the shape of the covered core in accordance with the schematic shape. When each covering member is attached to the core, the covering member can be positioned in the correct orientation by aligning the orientation of the shape defined by the broken line 613 with the shape of the core. The cover member includes only one cover member like the cover members 603 and 608 and a pair of right and left cover members like the cover members 601 and 602, the cover members 604 and 605, and the cover members 606 and 607, and the pair of right and left cover members can cover the corresponding core portion with each cover member in a correct orientation at a correct position by a combination of the reference numeral 611 and the broken line 613.

In the present embodiment, the covering member may be made of, for example, a cloth made of a pile (towel) cloth. Alternatively, cloth made of any material such as cotton, silk, wool, nylon, rayon, polyester, felt, denim, synthetic leather, hemp, crepe, and the like can be used. In addition, any pattern, design, or design can be added to the cloth. The thickness of the cloth can be set to 1mm, for example.

Next, fig. 7 illustrates a configuration example of a decorative member that can be attached to the toy body 100. Fig. 7 (a) and 7 (B) show the structures of the front and back surfaces of the decorative members 710 and 720. Decorative portions 711 and 721 are disposed on the front surfaces of the decorative members 710 and 720, respectively, and protrusions 712 and 722 are disposed on the rear surfaces thereof, respectively. The decorative members 710 and 720 can be attached to the toy body by inserting the protruding portion into the slit between the cores of the toy body 100. The decorative members 710, 720 have cylindrical shapes and substantially circular cross sections, and as a result, the angles (orientations or directions) of the decorative portions 712, 722 on the front surface side can be changed while being inserted into the space between the core portions. For example, the decorative members 710 and 720 can be used to represent the eyes of a toy, and when the decorative member is formed in an elliptical shape like the decorative portion 721, the expression can be made by changing the angle of the decorative member 720.

In addition, an auxiliary portion 713 is provided at a root portion of the protrusion 712 of the decorative member 710, and when the decorative member 710 is inserted into the slit between the core portions, the auxiliary portion 713 is engaged with the rounded portion of the end portion of the core portion to assist the holding state of the decorative member 710 with respect to the toy body 100. A plurality of auxiliary portions 713 are provided at the root portion of the protrusion 712 so as to be able to engage with the rounded portions of the core end portions even when the angle of the decorative member 710 is changed. A plurality of auxiliary portions 723 are similarly provided at the root portions of the protrusions 722 of the decorative member 720.

Next, fig. 7 (C) and 7 (D) show the structures of the front and back surfaces of the decoration members 730 and 740. Decorative parts 731 and 741 are disposed on the front surfaces of the decorative members 730 and 740, and protrusions 732 and 742 are disposed on the rear surfaces thereof, and the decorative members 730 and 740 can be attached to the toy body by inserting the protrusions into the slits between the core parts of the toy body 100. Here, the projections 732 and 742 have flat surfaces and are fixed while being inserted into the space between the cores. For example, the decorative members 730 and 740 can be used to represent the nose and mouth of a toy, and the decorative parts can be designed differently to make the toy show different expressions, although the orientation cannot be changed.

Further, an auxiliary portion 733 is provided at a root portion of the projection portion 732 of the decorative member 730, and when the decorative member 730 is inserted into the slit between the core portions, the auxiliary portion 733 is engaged with the rounded portion of the end portion of the core portion to assist the holding state of the decorative member 730 with respect to the toy body 100. Similarly, a plurality of auxiliary portions 743 are provided at the root portions of the protrusions 742 of the decorative member 740.

In the present embodiment, the toy body 100 is made of PVC having a hardness of about 75, and is easily deformed and has excellent restoring force to its original shape. Therefore, when the protrusion of the decorative member is inserted into the slit between the core portions of the toy body 100, the shape is deformed by an external force so that the decorative member can be easily inserted, and the decorative member can be held at the inserted position by exerting a restoring force after the decorative member is inserted.

Fig. 7 (E) shows an example of the structure of an insertion member 750 for inserting the covering member into the gap between the core portions. The front end side of the insertion member 750 is obliquely cut to form a front end portion 751, and the end face of the front end portion 751 is rounded. The intermediate portion 752 is thicker than the tip portion 751 and is easily gripped.

As described above, the cover member can be attached to the toy body by pressing the distal end 751 of the insertion member 750 against the mark 612 of the cover member and pressing the cover member into the gap between the core portions. After the portions of the cover member at the positions of the respective marks 612 are press-fitted, the portions between the marks of the cover member may be press-fitted using the end surfaces of the obliquely cut portions on the tip end side of the insertion member 750. The front end side end surface may have a thickness of a gap that can be inserted into the core, for example, a thickness of about 2mm.

Fig. 8 shows an example of decoration in which a decoration member is attached after the toy body 100 is covered with a covering member. Fig. 8 (a) and 8 (B) show different positions where the decorative members 710 and 730 are attached. This makes it possible to provide an appearance that gives a different visual impression in the final decorative result.

Fig. 8 (a) shows a state in which the toy body 100 is not decorated, and fig. 8 (a) shows a state in which the toy body 100 is covered with the covering members 811 and 812. Here, an example in which two kinds of cover members are used is shown, but a different cover member may be used for each of the respective cores. In fig. 8 (a) (3), the decorative member 710 is further attached to the gap between the core members 120 and 130, and the decorative member 730 is attached to the gap between the core members 110 and 130. Further, additional decorative members 813 and 814, which are made by cutting felt cloth, are attached to the gap between the core portions on the upper side of the core member 120. The decorative members 813 and 814 can be formed in any shape, and can be attached to the toy body by inserting the end portions of the felt cloth into the gaps between the core portions.

Fig. 8 (B) shows a case where the toy body 100 is not decorated (1), and fig. 8 (B) shows a case where the toy body 100 is covered with the covering members 821 and 822 (2). Here, an example in which two kinds of cover members are used is also shown, but a different cover member may be used for each of the respective cores. In fig. 8 (B) (3), the decorative members 710 and 730 are further attached to the gap between the upper core portions of the core material 120 to which the decorative member 813 or the like is attached in fig. 8 (a) (3). The decorative member 823 formed by cutting a felt cloth is attached to the gap between the core portions on the rear side of the core member 120. The decorative member 823 may be formed in any shape, and may be attached to the toy body by inserting the end of the felt cloth into the gap between the cores.

As described above, according to the toy body 100 of the present embodiment, the visual impression given to the observer can be made different by changing the material, arrangement, color tone, and the like of the covering member, the arrangement, shape, design, and the like of the decorative member.

Fig. 9 and 10 show modifications of the toy body 100 according to the present embodiment. The toy body 900 is a spherical toy body, and is configured by combining three core members 910, 920, and 930. Core material 910 is combined with the upper surface side of core material 920, and core material 930 is combined with the bottom surface side of core material 920. Each core is marked with a mark for identifying the core, and in the example of fig. 9, consecutive numbers 1 to 5 are marked.

Fig. 10 is a diagram showing an example of the appearance of the toy body 900 in six views. Fig. 10 (a) is a front view of the toy body 900, fig. 10 (B) is a right side view of the toy body 900, fig. 10 (C) is a top view of the toy body 900, fig. 10 (D) is a left side view of the toy body 900, fig. 10 (E) is a bottom view of the toy body 900, and fig. 10 (F) is a rear view of the toy body 900.

The toy body 900 shown in fig. 9 and 10 is different in structure from the toy body 100 shown in fig. 1 and the like, but can be covered with a covering member and decorated with a decorative member in the same manner as the toy body 100.

As described above, the toy body according to the present embodiment can be formed in any shape by combining a plurality of core members and core portions, in addition to the structures shown in fig. 1 and 2.
