Description

The present invention relates to a toy capable of a wide variety of play.

  Conventionally, various toys (toys) have been provided. For example, toys that can sculpt children's imagination and creativity, such as toys that can form shapes by assembling variously shaped pieces of wood (blocks) or blocks, and toys that have a driving force transmission mechanism and move with that driving force, Toys are provided to help children understand the principles of object movement.

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, building blocks that can form various shapes using pieces having different shapes and those that can understand the operation mechanism of toys have been provided (for example, Patent Documents 1 and 2).
Japanese Patent No. 3762766 Utility Model Registration No. 3110885

  The building block set of Patent Document 1 enables various pieces having different shapes to be stacked and assembled into an unprecedented shape. Thereby, the problem of the conventional building block which had the limit in the assembly variation can be eliminated.

  The toy of Patent Document 2 includes a toy body that operates, a driving force transmission mechanism that transmits a driving force to the toy body, and a box-shaped case that is housed in the driving force transmission mechanism. The driving force transmission mechanism includes a gear, a cam, and a link mechanism. The box-shaped case is made of a transparent plastic material. Since children can see the mechanism of toy movement by the driving force transmission mechanism while playing, they can understand the principle of toy operation, which is very useful for education.

  However, the toys of Patent Documents 1 and 2 play as building blocks or move according to the driving force transmission mechanism, and are not toys that can play other than that. Traditional toys with limited playing styles can get bored early and cannot effectively develop children's imagination and creativity.

  In order to solve the above-described problems, an object of the present invention is to provide a toy that can be used in a wide variety of games by the imagination and creativity of children.

  The toy of the present invention is provided with a part formed in a quadrangular prism and a protruding portion extending from one side of one bottom surface of the part in the longitudinal direction of the part.

  The toy according to the present invention comprises various types of the above-described toys with different lengths of the portions formed on the square pillars or the lengths of the projecting portions, and is constituted by the various toys and a solid body composed of only the portions. Is. Moreover, it is comprised from the toy of this invention and the storage box which accommodates the toy.

  The present invention is a toy in which a protruding portion is provided on one side of the bottom surface of a quadrangular prism portion. By applying a force to the protrusion, the toy performs a movement in which the part of the quadrangular prism jumps or goes straight. As a result, children can learn the principle of leverage, which can give a toy a great force with a small force applied to the protrusion.

  The present invention makes it possible for children to understand the principle of leverage and to create a new way of playing from one play.

The toy of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 shows a toy according to the present invention. In FIG. 1, (a) is a front view of a toy, (b) is a left side view, (c) is a right side view, (d) is a plan view, (e) is a bottom view, f) is a rear view. FIG. 2 is a diagram illustrating an operation example of the toy when a force is applied to the toy protrusion.
The toy 10 of the present invention includes a portion 10a formed in a quadrangular column and a protruding portion 10b extending from one side of the bottom surface 12 of the portion 10a in the longitudinal direction of the portion 10a.
When the toy 10 is placed on the tabletop 14 and a force F is applied to the protruding portion 10b with the finger 16, the side opposite to the side of the bottom surface 12 provided with the protruding portion 10b, ie, the fulcrum X, is formed into a quadrangular prism. A force larger than the force F acts on the part 10a (FIG. 2). In other words, the toy 10 is a toy that operates according to the principle of candy.

  The toy 10 receives various forces F acting on the part 10a and moves variously. For example, the forces F1 to F3 shown in FIG. When a force F1 is applied to the protruding portion 10b from directly above, the portion 10a jumps toward the upper position. When a force F2 is applied from the oblique direction toward the portion 10a side from the protruding portion 10b side to the protruding portion 10b, the portion 10a jumps forward. When a force F3 is applied to the protruding portion 10b from an oblique direction from the portion 10a side to the protruding portion 10b side, the portion 10a jumps backward. Depending on the magnitudes of the forces F1 to F3, the part 10a moves forward (straight) without jumping.

  Further, the jumping height varies depending on the position where the force F is applied to the protruding portion 10b. For example, when the forces F4 to F6 shown in FIG. 2B are applied, the height at which the portion 10a jumps is highest when force is applied to the tip of the protruding portion 10b (in the case of force F4), and the portion 10a. Is the lowest when a force is applied to a position close to (when the force is F6).

Further, when a force is applied to the protruding portion 10b along the longitudinal direction of the portion 10a (in the case of the force F7 in FIG. 2C), the protruding portion 10b moves forward (straight forward).
As in the above example, when the force F is applied to the protruding portion 10b with the finger 16, the toy 10 performs various movements according to the principle of the heel.

  The toy 10 in FIG. 1 has a part 10a as a regular quadrangular prism. The length of the part 10a is twice the length A of the one side of the bottom surface 12 (length 2A) with respect to the length A of the one side of the bottom surface 12 of the part 10a. The width of the protruding portion 10b is the same width as that of one side of the bottom surface 12 at the upper portion of the portion 10a and is formed integrally with the portion 10a (FIG. 1 (f)). The height of the protruding portion 10b is one half of the length A of one side of the bottom surface 12 (length 1/2 · A). Further, the thickness of the protruding portion 10b is a quarter of the length A of one side of the bottom surface 12 (length 1/4 · A).

Next, the toy of the present invention in which the length of the portion 10a formed on the quadrangular column or the length of the protruding portion 10b is different will be described with reference to the drawings. 3 and 4 are views showing other shapes of the toy according to the present invention. 3 and 4, (a) is a front view of the toy, (b) is a left side view, (c) is a right side view, (d) is a plan view, and (e) is a bottom view. (F) is a rear view. FIG. 5 is a diagram showing a solid consisting only of a part formed in a quadrangular prism having no protrusions. FIG. 5 (a) is a front view of the solid, FIG. 5 (b) is a left side view, and FIG. ) Is a right side view, FIG. (D) is a plan view, FIG. (E) is a bottom view, and FIG. (F) is a rear view.
The toy 18 shown in FIG. 3 has a portion 18a as a regular quadrangular prism. The length of one side of the bottom surface 20 of the part 18a is the same as the length A of one side of the bottom surface 12 of FIG. 2A). The width of the protruding portion 18b is the same width as one side of the bottom surface 20 at the top of the portion 18a and is formed integrally with the portion 18a (FIG. 3 (f)). The height of the protrusion 18b is the same as the length A of one side of the bottom surface 20 (length A). The thickness of the protruding portion 10b is a quarter of the length A of one side of the bottom surface 12 (length 1/4 · A). That is, the toy 18 in FIG. 3 is different in length from the protruding portion 10b of the toy 10 in FIG.

  The toy 22 shown in FIG. 4 has a portion 22a as a regular quadrangular prism. The length of the side 22a is 2.5 times the length A of the one side of the bottom surface 24 with respect to the length A of one side of the bottom surface 24 of the portion 22a (the same length as the length A of one side of the bottom surface 12 in FIG. 1). (Length 5/2 · A). The width of the protruding portion 22b is the same width as that of one side of the bottom surface 24 at the top of the portion 22a, and is formed integrally with the portion 22a (FIG. 4F). The height of the protrusion 22b is one half of the length A of one side of the bottom surface 24 (length 1/2 · A). Further, the thickness of the protruding portion 22b is a quarter (length 1/4 · A) of the length A of one side of the bottom surface 24. That is, the toy 22 in FIG. 4 is different in length from the portion 10a of the toy 10 in FIG.

  Further, the solid 26 in FIG. 5 is a regular quadrangular prism. The length of the solid 26 is 2.5 times the length A of one side of the bottom surface 28 with respect to the length A of one side of the bottom surface 28 of the solid 26 (the same length as the length A of one side of the bottom surface 12 in FIG. 1). (Length 5/2 · A). The solid body 26 in FIG. 5 has no projecting portion, and is composed only of a portion 22a excluding the projecting portion 22b of the toy 22 in FIG.
