The plate-like portion 32b is a rectangular plate-like shape elongated in length, and one end of the plate-like portion 32b in the short side direction is connected to the step portion 32c. At a portion other than the portion connected to the step portion 32c in the end edge of the plate-like portion 32b, a rising portion 32d slightly rising from the plate-like portion 32b toward the base portion 32a is provided. The raised portion 32d serves as a rib for securing the strength of the leg portion 32. The step portion 32c is also provided with five reinforcing ribs 32c1 for ensuring the strength of the leg portion 32. An inner contact 32d1 extending outward (on the side opposite to the step 32c side) is provided on a part of the rising portion 32d existing at the other end edge in the short side direction of the plate-like portion 32 b. The portion of the rising portion 32d is located at a substantially central portion in the longitudinal direction of the plate-like portion 32 b. At the other end in the short side direction of the plate-like portion 32b, a pair of outer contacts 32b1 are provided to extend outward from both sides in the long side direction.

As shown in fig. 5, the roof 36 includes a first roof 36a and a second roof 36b, the first roof 36a being inclined in a substantially V-shape when viewed from the front, and the second roof 36b being inclined rearward and downward from the rear end of the first roof 36 a. The first roof 36a is provided with engaging groove portions 36a1 which are opened downward and extend obliquely along the first roof 36a, respectively, at the left and right end edges thereof. Front accommodating portions 36a2 are provided on front sides of left and right ends of the first roof portion 36a, respectively. A substantially concave portion (not shown) for accommodating the front rotating portion 32a1 of the leg portion 32 is provided on the back surface side (side facing the second roof portion 36 b) of the front accommodating portion 36a2. Further, a front holding groove portion 36a3 extending in the upper-lower direction and opening downward is provided on the back surface side of the front accommodating portion 36a2.

A circular lamp attachment portion 36a4 bent in an arc shape and extending downward is provided at a substantially central portion of the inner surface of the first roof portion 36 a. For example, a lamp-mimicking member is attached to the lamp attachment portion 36a4. Meanwhile, seven positioning concave portions 36b1 having a concave shape are provided at the rear end edge portion of the second roof portion 36b at intervals in the left-right direction.

As shown in fig. 6, the side wall portion 38 includes a pair of left and right wall portions 38a and a rear wall portion 38b connecting the left and right wall portions 38a, and upper ends of the left and right wall portions 38a are inclined along the inclination of both side ends of the roof portion 36. The left and right wall portions 38a are flat plate-like members having both plate surfaces directed in the left-right direction, and the left and right wall portions 38a face each other so as to be parallel to each other. A rear receiving portion 38a1 that is recessed rearward in a substantially recessed shape and receives the front rotating portion 32a1 of the leg portion 32 is provided at the lower portion of the rear end of each of the left and right wall portions 38 a. An arrangement groove portion 38a2 (see fig. 3) that opens downward and extends in the front-rear direction is provided at respective lower ends of the left and right wall portions 38 a. Further, at the lower side of the rear housing portion 38a1, a rear holding groove portion 38a3 extending in the up-down direction and opening downward is provided.

The rear wall portion 38b of the side wall portion 38 is a laterally elongated rectangular plate-like member having two plate surfaces oriented in the front-rear direction. Seven positioning projections 38b1 protruding rearward are provided on the rear surface of the rear wall portion 38b at intervals in the left-right direction. The rear wall portion 38b is provided with three opening groups 38b2 respectively imitating windows at equal intervals. Near each of the opening groups 38b2 at both the left and right sides, a rear wall side projection (holding portion) 38b3 of a protruding shape is provided. Side wall sections 38 form the left, right and rear walls of attic 50 in the second configuration.

Referring back to fig. 3, the assembly mode of the components constituting the roof unit 30 will be described. The positioning protrusion 38b1 of the side wall portion 38 is fitted into the positioning recess 36b1 of the roof portion 36, and the upper ends of the left and right wall portions 38a of the side wall portion 38 are fitted into the fitting groove portions 36a1 of the roof portion 36. Accordingly, the roof portion 36 and the side wall portion 38 are assembled together in a state where the roof portion 36 and the side wall portion 38 are positioned.

In the elastically deformed state, the rear rotating portion 32a2 of the leg portion 32 is rotatably fitted into the rear receiving portion 38a1 of the side wall portion 38, and the front rotating portion 32a1 is rotatably fitted into a recess provided in the front receiving portion 36a2 of the roof portion 36. The leg portions 32 are then attached to the side wall portions 38 and the roof portion 36 by elastic recovery. The rotatably assembled leg portion 32 is prevented from idling due to its elastic force.

In the roof unit 30 assembled as described above, the leg 32 is rotatable about an axis (rotation axis) connecting the front rotation portion 32a1 and the rear rotation portion 32a2, and the leg 32 is rotatable to enter and exit the roof 36. Then, by rotating the leg 32 until the plate-like portion 32b of the leg 32 climbs over the rear wall-side projection 38b3, the leg 32 is retracted inside the roof portion 36 so as to extend obliquely upward from the rotation axis toward the center of the roof portion 36 (see fig. 1 and 3), that is, in the first configuration. As a result, the leg portion 32 is held by the rear wall side projection 38b3 such that the leg portion 32 extends obliquely upward from the rotation axis toward the center of the roof portion 36, and the leg portion 32 is not visually recognized when the roof unit 30 is viewed from the front side.

Then, by rotating the leg portion 32 by 90 degrees or more from the first configuration, the leg portion 32 can be converted into a second configuration in which the leg portion 32 extends so as to protrude downward so as to be orthogonal to the upper surface 24a (see fig. 7) of the ceiling portion 24 (see fig. 2B). In the second state, the leg-side projections 32a3 provided on the front side of the leg 32 are fitted into the front holding groove portions 36a3 provided on the roof portion 36, and the leg-side projections 32a3 provided on the rear side of the leg 32 are fitted into the rear holding groove portions 38a3 provided on the side wall portions 38. As a result, the leg portion 32 is held in an extended state in a downwardly protruding manner. In the second state, the stepped portion 32c of the leg portion 32 is in contact with the lower ends of the left and right wall portions 38a of the side wall portion 38. Thus, the leg portion 32 is restricted from further outward rotation.

Next, the arrangement pattern of the roof unit 30 with respect to the ceiling portion 24 will be described. As shown in fig. 7, the ceiling portion 24 has a longitudinal shape, and contact protrusions 24a1 (examples of mating portions) protruding upward and provided to have a substantially U shape in a top view are provided on both sides (left and right sides) in the longitudinal direction of the upper surface 24a of the ceiling portion 24, respectively. Further, at a substantially central portion in the front-rear direction on the inner side of each contact protrusion 24a1, a slightly recessed arrangement recess 24a2 adjacent to the contact protrusion 24a1 is provided.

In the first configuration, the roof unit 30 is in a state in which the leg portions 32 are retracted to the inside and the arrangement groove portions 38a2 of the side wall portions 38 are exposed downward. In this configuration, in the roof unit 30, the arrangement groove portion 38a2 is fitted into the contact protrusion portion 24a 1. As a result, the roof unit 30 is fixed to the ceiling portion 24 in a state in which the side wall portions 38 of the roof unit 30 are positioned in the left-right direction and the front-rear direction.

In the second state, the roof unit 30 is in a state in which the leg portions 32 extend in a downwardly protruding manner. In this state, in the roof unit 30, the inner contact 32d1 of the leg 32 is fitted into the arrangement recess 24a2 and is in contact with the inner side of the contact protrusion 24a1, and the pair of outer contacts 32b1 of the leg 32 is in contact with the outer side of the contact protrusion 24a 1. As a result, the contact protrusion 24a1 is sandwiched between the inner contact 32d1 and the pair of outer contacts 32b1, and the roof unit 30 is fixed to the ceiling portion 24 in a state in which the leg portions 32 of the roof unit 30 are positioned in the left-right direction and the front-rear direction.

An attic opening 24c provided so as to penetrate the ceiling portion 24 is provided at a position on the right front side of the central portion of the ceiling portion 24 (see fig. 2B). The attic opening 24c is closed by cooperation with a cover member 60 having substantially the same shape and substantially the same size as the opening of the attic opening 24c (see fig. 7). As shown in fig. 2B, the cover member 60 has four protrusions serving as legs on the back surface side thereof, and has a shape simulating a table. The player can place the cover member 60 removed from the attic opening 24c on the upper surface 24a or the like of the ceiling portion 24, and can play a doll game or the like using the cover member 60 as a table. A portion of the open end of attic opening 24c is provided with a downwardly recessed removal recess 24d. The player can easily remove the cover member 60 from the attic opening 24c by inserting a finger or the like into the removal recess 24d.

Next, a locking mode between the roof unit 30 and the second-floor right roof 26 will be described. As shown in fig. 8, in the first mode, the roof portion 36 of the roof unit 30 and the second-floor right roof 26 are connected to each other such that the boundary portion is difficult to be recognized.

In the second configuration, as shown in fig. 9, the side wall portion 38 of the roof unit 30 is exposed rearwardly. Here, a part of the tile portion provided at the upper end of the second-floor right roof 26 is provided with a locking portion 26a formed by extending one end of the circular tile portion of the roof (see the enlarged view of the individual window shown in fig. 9). On the other hand, a portion of the side wall portion 38 of the roof unit 30 that faces the locking portion 26a in the front-rear direction in the second state is provided with a groove 38c, the groove 38c is recessed in a substantially semi-cylindrical groove shape and the locking portion 26a is fitted into the groove 38 c.

Further, a portion of the side wall portion 38 of the roof unit 30 that faces the locking portion 26a in the left-right direction in the second state is provided with a locked portion 38d, which has a shape protruding in a substantially semi-cylindrical shape from the side wall portion 38, and is locked to the locking portion 26a. Since the locking portion 26a and the locked portion 38d are in contact with each other in the left-right direction, the roof unit 30 is positioned in the left-right direction with respect to the second-floor right roof 26 in the second state, and the roof unit 30 is prevented from rocking in the left-right direction in a state in which the leg portions 32 extend in a downwardly protruding manner.

In a portion of the roof portion 36 overlapping the locking portion 26a when the second-floor right roof 26 overlaps the roof portion 36 in the first form, a roof side recess 36b2 for preventing the locking portion 26a from interfering with the portion is provided. In a portion of the wall surface overlapping the locked portion 38d when the side wall portion 38 overlaps the wall surface around the ceiling portion 24 in the first form, a wall-side recessed portion 24a3 (see fig. 7) for preventing the locked portion 38d from interfering with a portion of the wall surface is provided.

Next, the configuration of the storage ladder 70 stored on the lower surface 24b side of the ceiling portion 24 and the storage mode thereof will be described. As shown in fig. 2B and 10, the storage ladder 70 has a longitudinally elongated shape as a whole, and a substantially half portion thereof on one side is a ladder section 72 having a ladder shape, and a substantially half portion thereof on the other side is an inclined surface section 74 having an inclined surface shape. On the opposite side of the both sides of the ladder section 72 from the inclined surface section 74, a groove section 76 formed in a groove shape along the longitudinal direction of the storage ladder 70 is provided. The lower end portion of the storage ladder 70 in a state where the storage ladder 70 is lowered toward the floor portion 28 (see fig. 2B) is provided with a concave curved surface 70a, and the curved surface 70a is smoothly curved toward the floor portion 28 continuously from the lower ends of the ladder portion 72, the inclined surface portion 74, and the groove portion 76.

In the second mode, the player can play a doll game or the like using the ladder section 72 as a stair for moving up and down between the second-floor right-side room 22 and the attic room 50 in a state where the storage ladder 70 is lowered to the floor section 28 side. Players can play doll games and the like using sloped surface portion 74 as a slide from attic 50 down to second-floor right room 22. The player can place front wheels 84 and rear wheels 86 (to be described later) of the vehicle model 80 carrying dolls or the like on the inclined surface portions 74 and the recessed portions 76, and can play a doll game or the like using the inclined surface portions 74 and the recessed portions 76 as guide rails or the like to allow the vehicle model 80 to slide from the attic room 50 to the second-floor right-hand room 22.

As shown in fig. 10, on both sides of the end portion opposite to the side on which the curved surface 70a is provided in the longitudinal direction of the storage ladder 70, ladder-side shafts (rotation shafts) 70b protruding axially outward are provided, respectively. A protruding portion 70c protruding toward the lower side (front side in fig. 10) is provided in a part of the back surface of the ladder section 72 near the ladder-side shaft 70b.

On the other hand, an attaching portion 24e for rotatably receiving the receiving ladder 70 and a receiving portion (engaging mechanism) 24f for receiving one end of the receiving ladder 70 are provided on the lower surface 24b side of the ceiling portion 24. The pair of attachment portions 24e are each provided in a plate shape having a laterally elongated opening, and the ladder-side shaft 70b that houses the ladder 70 is rotatably inserted into the opening. The receiving portion 24f is provided in a laterally elongated arched shape of a U-shape with respect to the lower surface 24 b. The end of the storage ladder 70 provided with the curved surface 70a is stored inside the storage portion 24f provided in an arcuate shape, whereby the storage ladder 70 is engaged with the storage portion 24f and provided on the back side of the ceiling portion 24.

When the storage ladder 70 slides along the opening of the attachment portion 24e in a state where one end of the storage ladder 70 is stored in the storage portion 24f, the one end of the storage ladder 70 is removed from the storage portion 24 f. When one end of the storage ladder 70 is moved out of the storage portion 24f, the two ladder-side shafts 70b are rotated about their axes by the weight of the storage ladder 70, one end is lowered toward the floor portion 28 side, and one end of the storage ladder 70 is brought into contact with the floor portion 28. At this time, the protruding portion 70c contacts the lower surface 24b of the ceiling portion 24, thereby restricting further rotation of the ladder-side shaft 70 b. In this way, the storage ladder 70 can be lowered to the floor portion 28 side.

Next, referring to fig. 11 and 12, a vehicle model (vehicle doll body) 80, which is a traveling toy for a stand-alone doll game, capable of playing by sliding on the lowered storage ladder 70 will be described. As shown in fig. 11, the vehicle model 80 is a toy that mimics the shape of a four-wheeled vehicle, and includes a vehicle body (doll holding portion) 82, front wheels (wheels) 84 provided on the front side (first direction), and rear wheels (wheels) 86 provided on the rear side (second direction). The front wheels 84 and the rear wheels 86 are independently rotatable and can be placed on the storage ladder 70. The front wheels 84 and the rear wheels 86 have a wheel width that enables the front wheels 84 and the rear wheels 86 to rest on the inclined surface portions 74 and the groove portions 76.

The vehicle body 82 has a substantially box shape with an upper side thereof opened, and a seat surface 82a as a flat surface is provided inside the vehicle body 82, on which the doll is placed. On the inner side of the vehicle body 82, a rising portion 82b (an example of a first wall portion) rising upward is provided standing on the front side of the seat surface 82a, and a backrest 82c (an example of a second wall portion) inclined rearward (on the opposite side from the seat surface 82 a) and recessed is provided standing on the rear side of the seat surface 82 a. The rear side of the raised portion 82b is an inclined surface inclined toward the seat surface 82a side. An arm portion 88 having a substantially annular shape mimicking a handle is provided at a front end portion (front side of the seat surface 82 a) of the vehicle body 82.

The arm portion 88 includes an arm annular portion 88a having a substantially annular shape. At the front end portion of the arm portion 88, an arm portion pivot shaft 88b is provided to be supported by the front end portion of the vehicle body 82 in a pivotable manner with the left-right direction as the axial direction, so that the arm portion 88 can be tilted toward the seat surface 82 a. The arm 88 is in sliding contact with the front end portion of the vehicle body 82, and is configured to pivot in a state in which a side surface of the arm pivot shaft 88b is pressed against the front end portion of the vehicle body 82. Accordingly, the arm portion 88 pivots toward the seat surface 82a while receiving a predetermined resistance from the vehicle body 82.

As shown in fig. 11, in the vehicle model 80, a doll D as a anthropomorphic animal can be held by the vehicle body 82 in a state in which the doll D is placed on the seat surface 82 a. For example, in the example shown in fig. 11, the doll D is placed on the seat surface 82a, the leg portion of the doll D is placed on the raised portion 82b, and the tip end of the leg portion is close to the front end portion of the vehicle body 82, and the back of the doll D is in contact with the backrest 82c in a state in which the doll D is tilted backward. The arm 88 is then pivoted and brought into contact with the area of doll D from the chest to the abdomen. At this time, the arm portion 88 receives a predetermined resistance force when pivoting, so that the chest and abdomen of the doll D can be appropriately pressed by the arm annular portion 88a of the arm portion 88. In this way, doll D is held by vehicle model 80 so as not to fall easily.

As shown in fig. 12, the vehicle model 80 can slide on the lowered storage ladder 70 while holding the doll D. Here, in the vehicle model 80, the interval between the pair of front wheels 84 and the interval between the pair of rear wheels 86 are substantially equal to the interval between the inclined surface portion 74 and the recessed portion 76 in the storage ladder 70. Therefore, in the posture in which the front side surface of the vehicle model 80 faces the floor portion 28 side, the right front wheel 84 and the right rear wheel 86 are placed on the inclined surface portion 74 of the lowered storage ladder 70, the left front wheel 84 and the left rear wheel 86 are placed on the recessed groove portion 76, and the vehicle model 80 can smoothly slide from the ceiling portion 24 side toward the floor portion 28 side. Since the inclination angle of the vehicle model 80 sliding on the storage ladder 70 is reduced by the curved surface 70a before reaching the floor portion 28, the vehicle model 80 does not topple forward by the sliding force, and the front wheels 84 and the rear wheels 86 land on the floor portion 28.
