Description

【0001】
【発明の属する技術分野】
この発明は、子供が砂場で遊ぶときに、簡単にトンネルのある砂山をつくることができる砂場用玩具に関するものである。
【0002】
【従来の技術】
従来には、休憩時の腰掛け用として使える小児の遊び道具としてのバケツとして、開口縁に水のはけ口を設けた鍔縁を設けたことを特徴とする小児の遊び道具用のバケツの技術が知られている。
【0003】
【特許文献1】
登録実用新案第3026960号
【0004】
【発明が解決しようとする課題】
これは次のような欠点があった。
従来の砂場用のバケツ等の玩具を使用して砂山にトンネルをつくる場合、まずバケツに湿った砂をいっぱいに詰めて、地面にひっくり返して砂山をつくる。しかし従来のバケツでは、山をつくるのに利用できてもトンネルまではつくることはできなかった。そこで砂山ができた後で、手や道具を用いて砂山にトンネルを掘るが、幼児では砂をかきだす時に砂山を崩してしまうことが多く、簡単にトンネルは掘れない。
本発明は、これらの欠点を解決するために発明されたものである。
【0005】
【課題を解決するための手段】
開口部の対向する位置に溝(2)を設け、溝(2)から側面に向けて突出させて、トンネル構成用部材(3)を受けることができる形状の受け部(4)を有する容器本体(1)と、この溝(2)に渡らせてはめることができる形状のトンネル構成用部材(3)を設ける。容器本体(1)とトンネル構成用部材(3)を着脱可能に固定することができる着脱機構を設ける。本発明は、以上の構成よりなる砂場用玩具に関するものである。
【0006】
【発明の実施の形態】
以下、本発明の実施の形態について説明する。
(イ)材質は、ポリプロピレン等、幼児の玩具に適した素材をもちい、容器本体(1)の大きさは、砂(7)を満杯にした状態でも、幼児がひっくり返すことができる容量の大きさとする。
(ロ)容器本体(1)の開口部の対向する位置に溝(2)を設け、溝(2)から側面に向けて突出させて、トンネル構成用部材(3)を受けることができる形状の受け部(4)を設け、容器本体(1)の内側面は、投入した砂(7)をひっくり返した時に山の形になるように、すり鉢状の形に設け、外側面は土台となるための枠を設けた容器本体(1)を設ける。
(ハ)容器本体(1)の溝(2)に渡らせてはめることができる形に湾曲した、トンネル構成用部材(3)を設ける。
(ニ)容器本体(1)とトンネル構成用部材(3)を着脱可能に固定することができる着脱機構として、容器本体(1)の受け部(4)に突起部(5)を設け、トンネル構成用部材(3)に突起部(5)を受けることのできる穴(6)を設ける。
本発明は以上のような構成で、これを使用する時は、まず容器本体(1)に湿った砂(7)を溝(2)より少し越えるぐらいまで投入しながら押し固める。その上から、トンネル構成用部材(3)の穴(6)を、突起部(5)にはめ合わせながら押し固める。容器本体(1)とトンネル構成用部材(3)との上下のすきまに、開口部一杯になるまで砂(6)を投入しながら更に押し固める。重ね合わせた容器本体(1)とトンネル構成用部材(3)を両手で持ちながら、地面にひっくり返す。容器本体(1)を抜き、トンネル構成用部材(3)を引き抜けば、トンネルのある砂山が完成する。図5で示すように、砂山のトンネルが出来上がったら、持ち手(8)のついた乗物の玩具(7)等で、トンネルに通過させる遊びができる。また、トンネル構成用部材(3)を滑り台代わりにして、持ち手(8)を離脱させた乗物の玩具(7)を、滑らして遊ぶなどの応用もできる。また、図6で示すように、トンネル構成用部材(3)を地面に置き、その上に砂(7)を自由な形状に押し固めてから、トンネル構成用部材(3)を引き抜くことによって、自由な形状のトンネルのある砂の立体物をつくることもできる。
【0007】
【第2実施の形態】
図3の断面図で示すように、トンネル構成用部材(3)を、一端側から多端側にかけて形状を縮小させた形状に設け、溝(2)あるいは受け部(4)は接続箇所がトンネル構成用部材(3)の外形に近似した形状に設けることによって、トンネル構成用部材(3)を砂から引き抜くときに、大きい形状側から引き抜けば、砂(7)とトンネル構成用部材(3)の外形との摩擦の抵抗が少なくなるので、さらに引き抜きやすくなる。
【0008】
【第3実施の形態】
図4の断面図で示すように、容器本体(1)の内側面の形状を変えることによって、いろいろな形状のトンネルのある砂の立体物をつくることができる。
【0009】
【発明の効果】
この玩具を使用することにより、子供でも簡単にトンネルのある砂山ができるので、砂場での遊びの幅が増え楽しく遊ぶことができる。容器本体(1)はバケツとしても使用できる。

TECHNICAL FIELD OF THE INVENTION
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a sandbox toy that can easily form a sand pit with a tunnel when a child plays in a sandbox.
[0002]
[Prior art]
Conventionally, as a bucket for a children's play tool that can be used as a stool for resting, there is known a bucket technique for a child's play tool, which is provided with a flange with a water outlet at an opening edge. Have been.
[0003]
[Patent Document 1]
Registered Utility Model No. 3026960 [0004]
[Problems to be solved by the invention]
This had the following disadvantages.
When using a conventional sandbox bucket or other toy to create a tunnel in a sand pit, first fill the bucket with moist sand and turn it over the ground to make a sand pit. However, with conventional buckets, it was not possible to make a tunnel even if it could be used to make a mountain. Then, after the sand mound is formed, a tunnel is dug in the sand mound using hands and tools. However, a child often breaks the sand mound when scraping sand, so it is not easy to dig a tunnel.
The present invention has been made to solve these drawbacks.
[0005]
[Means for Solving the Problems]
A container body having a groove (2) at a position facing the opening and projecting from the groove (2) toward the side surface and having a receiving portion (4) shaped to receive the member (3) for tunnel construction. (1) and a member (3) for tunnel construction having a shape that can be fitted over the groove (2) is provided. An attachment / detachment mechanism capable of detachably fixing the container body (1) and the member (3) for tunnel construction is provided. The present invention relates to a sandbox toy having the above configuration.
[0006]
BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION
Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described.
(B) The material used is a material suitable for infant toys, such as polypropylene, and the size of the container body (1) should be large enough to allow the infant to turn over even when full of sand (7). I do.
(B) A groove (2) is provided at a position opposite to the opening of the container body (1), and is formed so as to protrude from the groove (2) toward the side surface to receive the member (3) for tunnel construction. A receiving portion (4) is provided, and the inner surface of the container body (1) is provided in a mortar-like shape so as to form a mountain when the charged sand (7) is turned over, and the outer surface serves as a base. The container body (1) provided with the frame for it.
(C) A member (3) for forming a tunnel, which is curved so as to fit over the groove (2) of the container body (1), is provided.
(D) As a detachable mechanism capable of detachably fixing the container body (1) and the member (3) for forming a tunnel, a projection (5) is provided on a receiving portion (4) of the container body (1). The component (3) is provided with a hole (6) that can receive the protrusion (5).
The present invention is configured as described above. When this is used, first, wet sand (7) is poured into the container body (1) until it slightly exceeds the groove (2), and is compacted. From above, the hole (6) of the member for tunnel construction (3) is pressed down while being fitted to the projection (5). The sand (6) is further pressed into the upper and lower gaps between the container body (1) and the tunnel forming member (3) until the opening is fully filled. While holding the superposed container body (1) and the member (3) for tunnel construction with both hands, it is turned over on the ground. If the container body (1) is pulled out and the member (3) for tunnel construction is pulled out, a sand pit with a tunnel is completed. As shown in FIG. 5, when the tunnel of the sand mound is completed, a play of passing through the tunnel with a toy (7) of a vehicle with a handle (8) can be performed. Further, the toy (7) of the vehicle from which the handle (8) has been detached can be used as a slide by using the member (3) for tunnel construction as a slide. Further, as shown in FIG. 6, the tunnel-forming member (3) is placed on the ground, the sand (7) is pressed on the ground, and the tunnel-forming member (3) is pulled out. It is also possible to create three-dimensional objects in the sand with free-form tunnels.
[0007]
[Second Embodiment]
As shown in the cross-sectional view of FIG. 3, the tunnel forming member (3) is provided in a reduced shape from one end side to the multi-end side, and the groove (2) or the receiving portion (4) has a tunnel-like connection portion. When the tunnel forming member (3) is pulled out of the sand by providing it in a shape similar to the outer shape of the member (3), the sand (7) and the tunnel forming member (3) are pulled out from the larger shape side. Since the frictional resistance with the outer shape of the sheet is reduced, it becomes easier to pull out.
[0008]
[Third Embodiment]
As shown in the cross-sectional view of FIG. 4, by changing the shape of the inner surface of the container body (1), it is possible to form a three-dimensional sand having various shapes of tunnels.
[0009]
【The invention's effect】
By using this toy, even a child can easily make a sand pit with a tunnel, so that the range of play in the sandbox can be increased and the child can play happily. The container body (1) can also be used as a bucket.
