Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a toy having the characteristics referred to in the claims that follow.
  • the toy in question forms a structure configured to define a toy scenic environment. Thanks to the characteristics that distinguish it, the toy described here allows the variation of the represented scenic design, in a simple and surprising manner, thus increasing the playing possibilities and the fun of the child.
  • numeric reference 100 With reference to the figures, in general, the toy described herein, indicated as a whole with the numeric reference 100, comprises:
  • the first and the second body have two complementary half-shell structures, so as to form, when coupled together, a closed casing 10 that is essentially cylindrical, of which the aforesaid first and second surfaces together constitute the side wall of the casing.
  • the bodies 2 and 4 have, in particular, respective pairs of opposite sides 2B, 4B (visible in Figure 6 ), suitable for delimiting the upper and lower cylindrical surface of the body; in the coupled condition of the two bodies, these sides together form the lower side and the upper side of the casing 10.
  • the bodies 2 and 4 can also present other configurations. In particular, they do not necessarily have to be two half-shells, but can also be two filled bodies. They are preferably made of plastic material, but can also be made of other materials, such as paper or cardboard.
  • the toy described here also comprises at least two bands, in the illustrated embodiment there are three, indicated with the references 61, 62, 63, respectively, which bind together the two bodies in a manner that allows each of these to rotate around the other body.
  • These bands are made of flexible sheet material, such as plastic, fabric, paper or cardboard, etc.
  • the toy comprises, in particular, a first band 61 having a first free central portion 61A, intended to be selectively wound around the first surface of the first body and around the second surface of the second body, and two end portions 61B at opposite sides of the central portion, fixed respectively on a first edge of the first body, which transversely delimits the first surface, and on a first edge of the second body, which transversely delimits the second surface ( Figure 6 ).
  • the toy also includes a second band 62 having a second free central portion 62A, intended to be selectively wound around the first surface of the first body and around the second surface of the second body, and two end portions 62B at opposite sides of the central portion, fixed respectively on a second edge of the first body, which transversely delimits the first surface on a side opposite to the first edge, and on a second edge of the second body, which transversely delimits the second surface on an opposite side compared to the first edge ( Figure 6 ).
  • the central portions 61A, 62A extend from one of the end portions of the respective band to the other, and have a length essentially equal to the length of the transverse profiles of the surfaces 2A, 4A. Regarding this, it should be noted that the surfaces 2A and 4A preferably have transverse profiles of the same length.
  • an additional band 63 is provided, with a central portion 63A and end portions 63B, and is connected to the bodies 2 and 4 in the same manner described above with reference to the first band 61 ( Figure 6 ).
  • the first band 61 and the third band 63 are arranged above and below the band 62, according to a mutually symmetrical configuration with respect to the latter.
  • the aforesaid edges to which the end portions of the bands are fixed correspond to the longitudinal edges of the half shells formed by the bodies 2 and 4.
  • the free portions 61A, 62A and 63A of the bands are connected at their respective end portions 61B, 62B and 63B via folding lines 61', 62', 63', which allow the mutual rotation between the different portions; as will be seen below, in the relative rotation of the bodies 2 and 4, the folding lines of each band operate as alternative hinging axes of the two bodies.
  • the end portions of the bands may be fixed to the bodies 2 and 4 in any known manner by the expert technician, for example by glue.
  • the configuration illustrated above allows each of the bodies 2 and 4 to rotate around the other body.
  • the body 2 is able to rotate all around the body 4 to complete a rotation about itself of 720°.
  • the initial step A illustrates the bodies 2 and 4 in the mutually coupled condition in which the housing 10 is formed.
  • step B the body 2 is rotated with respect to the body 4 in a clockwise direction, around the first folding lines 61', 62', 63' of the bands, which bind the two bodies 2 and 4 in rotation with each other.
  • step C the body 2 starts to roll with its surface 2A on the surface 4A of the body 4.
  • the band 62 As illustrated in steps D, E and F, during this movement, the band 62, initially wound around the body 2, gradually transfers onto the body 4, and similarly the bands 61 and 63, initially wound on the body 4, gradually transfer onto the body 2.
  • the body 2 Once 540° is exceeded (see step G), the body 2 once again rotates with respect to the body 4 around the folding lines 61', 62', 63' of the bands, this time around the second folding lines opposite to the lines involved in step B. The rotation ends with the two bodies 2 and 4 being carried to their mutually coupled condition (step H).
  • the toy described here can form a structure configured to represent a toy scenic environment.
  • the operation illustrated above can be exploited to obtain the variation of the represented scenic environment, in a simple and surprising manner.
  • the transition from the first to the second environment therefore simply involves the operation illustrated in Figure 3 .
  • Figure 2 shows that the individual bands 61, 62, and 63 represent, on the two opposite faces, a series of circles and a series of squares, respectively, each suitable for identifying two different types of scenic designs in a schematic way.
  • Figure 1A illustrates the condition of the toy 100 in which the bands 61 and 63, wound on the body 4, and the band 62, wound on the body 2, depict the scenic design formed of only squares
  • Figure 1B illustrates the condition in which the bands 61 and 63, this time wound on the body 2, and the band 62 wound on the body 1, depict the scenic design formed of only circles.
  • the portions of the surfaces 2A and 4A each time externally visible in the two conditions of Figures 1A and 1B , can also be used to define the two different scenic designs, together with the bands.
  • Figure 4 illustrates the toy in a condition essentially corresponding to that represented in step D of Figure 3
  • Figure 5 illustrates the toy in a condition essentially corresponding to that shown in step F of Figure 3 .
