Abstract

A toy maraca is formed having first and second blow-molded shells, each having in a hollow interior and a bottleneck extension. Sounding pellets are provided at least one of the shells and the shells are joined by a connecting member having oppositely facing recesses each for receiving one of the bottleneck extensions of the first and second shells.

Description

Toy maraca

The mutual reference of related application

The application requires the priority of the U.S. Patent application 10/350,377 submitted on January 23rd, 2003, and its full content is incorporated by reference.

Background of invention

The present inventor makes maraca at present and uses blown plastic casing, and as United States Patent (USP) 5,808,215 is described.

The described maraca of referenced patent is suitable for the adult uses, but does not meet the regulation of some countries for toy.The present invention is the regulation of the product that uses of a kind of child of satisfying and the maraca designed.One object of the present invention is to provide the maraca of the regulation that the improved child of satisfying uses.

Brief summary of the invention

According to the present invention, a kind of toy maraca is provided, comprise the shell of first and second blow moldings, each shell has the inside of hollow and the bottleneck of extension.In at least one shell bead is arranged.The bottleneck extension of first and second shells is switched to a junction spare, and these attaching parts have relative groove to connect two shells and to make up this toy maraca.

In one arrangement, a cap portion can be used to seal the bottleneck extension branch of a shell.This shell can be avette, and perhaps one or two shells can be annular.In one better arranged, these attaching parts had the surface of an outside, and it engages with the outer surface of shell.These attaching parts can by rigidity or elastomeric material form.

In order to understand the present invention and other goal of the invention better, after describing, provided reference with accompanying drawing, its protection domain is pointed out in the claims.

Invention is described

With reference to figure 1 and Fig. 2, shown toy maraca 10 according to first embodiment of the invention.Maraca 10 comprises the first and second

blow molding shells

12 and 14, and its blow molding shell to aforementioned patent is similar.In the example of Fig. 1 and Fig. 2, shell is identical, but shell can be identical or different size, also may be different patterns.Attaching parts 16 are in order to connect the

shell

12 and 14 of blow molding.This shell preferably is connected with attaching parts 16 by bonding mode.For this purpose, each

shell

12,14 comprises that a bottleneck extension divides 20, and it admits in the groove opposite on attaching parts 16 one, and these attaching parts can be injection moulding.In one better arranged, the bottleneck extension branch comprised an outside ridge 22, and it includes the corresponding internal recess on the attaching parts 16 in.

One of

shell

12,14 or all can also have stopper 18, in order to sounding pearl or bead 24 are kept in the enclosure.In one or all shell bead 24 can be arranged.The all length of toy maraca 10 can, for instance, be about 13 centimetres.

The outer surface of attaching parts is designed to form the outer surface of a smooth-going matching can.In the example of Fig. 1 and Fig. 2, shell is avette, and attaching parts have a circular edge, and its shell with coupling has identical diameter.

Fig. 3,4 and 5 have described the second embodiment of the present invention has first shell 32, and the

shell

12 and 14 of itself and first embodiment is similar, for avette.Second shell 34 for annular to provide the interior void can be by small child.Shell 30 is connected by attaching parts 36 with 34.The top edge 42 of attaching parts 36 is circular shapes with the outer surface that adapts to ovoid outer cover 32.The lower limb 44 of attaching parts 36 adapts to the shape of the outer surface of ovoid outer cover 34.

Shown in cross-sectional view strength among Fig. 4,

shell

32 and 34 comprises that the bottleneck extension of the corresponding recesses that fits into attaching parts 36 divides 37,39.In a preferential layout, one or all bottleneck extension divide 37,39 can have peripheral ridge 40, it is connected in the corresponding recesses of attaching parts 36.One or all have bead 46 in the case member 32,34.The bottleneck extension that one optional stopper 38 covers shell 32 divides 37 opening.Whole length of toy maraca 30 for example, are 14 centimetres.

The another layout 50 that Fig. 6 shows, it has two annular outer covers 52,54.

The attaching parts of each embodiment can be by corresponding rigidity plastics injection moulding.Selectable, attaching parts can be by elastomeric material, as natural or artificial rubber, so that maraca can be crooked at the middle part.

Here described and be considered to preferred embodiment of the present invention, those skilled in the art will recognize that under the situation that does not break away from spirit of the present invention and can change and revise, these changes and to revise still be protection scope of the present invention the present invention.

Claims
