  1 to 3 show an example of a house toy for explaining an embodiment of the present invention.

  A house toy 1 shown in FIGS. 1 to 3 includes a lower case 2, an upper case 3 that covers the mouth of the lower case 2 so as to be openable and closable, and a decoration housed in an internal space surrounded by the lower case 2 and the upper case 3. And a member 4.

  In the internal space surrounded by the lower case 2 and the upper case 3, a floor member 5 simulating an indoor floor is further accommodated. Miniatures 6a to 6d imitating furniture such as bathtubs, toilets, tables and sofas, miniatures 6e to 6g imitating miscellaneous goods such as slippers, cushions and cups, etc. are installed on the floor member 5 at appropriate places. Yes.

  The upper case 3 is rotatably connected to the lower case 2 via a hinge 6, and the upper case 3 is rotated around the hinge 6 to open and close the mouth of the lower case 2. A locking claw 10 is provided at the open / close end of the upper case 3, and a locked portion 11 that engages with the locking claw 10 of the upper case 3 is provided in the lower case 2. When the locking claw 10 and the locked portion 11 are engaged with each other, the upper case 3 is fixed to the lower case 2 with the mouth of the lower case 2 closed.

  This house toy 1 imitates a compact form as a cosmetic accessory, has a substantially heart shape as a whole, and is relatively flat. From the viewpoint of enhancing the portability of the house toy 1, the lower case 2 and the upper case 3 are made of resin, and the thickness thereof is relatively thin (1 to 2 mm), thereby reducing the weight. The lower case 2 is provided with an insertion hole 12 through which a portable strap is inserted.

  The upper case 3 has a dome-shaped polyhedral structure. Thereby, compared with the case where the upper case 3 is smooth, the intensity | strength of the upper case 3 is raised and the external appearance of the house toy 1 becomes rich in change.

  The upper case 3 is formed with a substantially circular opening 13 for exposing a part of the decorative member 4. In addition, although the opening 13 of the upper case 3 is formed in a substantially circular shape in the illustrated example, the shape is not particularly limited as long as a part of the decorative member 4 is exposed.

  In the illustrated example, the decorative member 4 is formed in a substantially heart shape corresponding to the appearance of the house toy 1, and the upper surface exposed through the opening 13 is formed in a polyhedron. The decorative member 4 is attached to the floor member 5 and supported by the lower case 2 via the floor member 5.

  While the upper case 3 is opened, the entirety of the decorative member 4 is visually recognized. When the upper case 3 is closed, a part of the decorative member 4 is visually recognized through the opening 13 of the upper case 3. As a result, the appearance of the house toy 1 is further varied.

  Further, in the illustrated example, the decorative member 4 is disposed in a position where the upper case 3 is in contact with the edge of the opening 13 of the upper case 3 or a slight gap is formed at the edge of the opening 13. Yes. When an external force that dents the upper case 3 toward the inner space acts on the upper case 3, the upper case 3 is supported by the lower case 2 via the decorative member 4. Thereby, deformation and breakage of the upper case 3 are prevented or suppressed.

  FIG. 4 shows an example of the opening operation of the upper case 3.

  In the opening operation of the upper case 3, for example, the user supports the lower case 2 with one hand, attaches the other hand to the upper case 3, and locks the locked portion 11 of the lower case 2 and the upper case 3. The fingers of both hands are hung on each of the nails 10, and the decorative member 4 is pushed through the opening 13 of the upper case 3 with the other finger of the hand attached to the upper case 3. By the reaction of pushing the decorative member 4, the engagement between the locking claw 10 and the locked portion 11 is released, and the open / close end of the upper case 3 provided with the locking claw 10 is pulled up. Thereby, the upper case 3 is opened.

  Here, the upper case 3 can be opened without pushing the decorative member 4, but in this case, the user firmly holds the lower case 2 against the lifting of the open / close end of the upper case 3. When the lower case 2 is relatively flat, a suitable force is required for gripping the lower case 2 in particular. On the other hand, in the opening operation by pushing the decorative member 4, the user only needs to support the lower case 2 so as to receive the pushing of the decorative member 4. Therefore, even a girl who is assumed to be a main user of the house toy 1 and has a relatively small hand and a relatively weak gripping force can easily open the upper case 3.

  FIG. 5 shows a detailed configuration of the decorative member 4 and the floor member 5.

  The floor member 5 includes a base portion 20 fixed to the lower case 2 and an attachment / detachment portion 21 configured to be attachable / detachable to / from the base portion 20.

The space which can accommodate the part and the locking part 31 is provided.

  An opening 34 that allows or prevents the passage of the locking portion 31 is formed in the locked portion 32 according to the rotation angle of the shaft member 30, that is, the posture of the decorative member 4. In this example, the opening 34 is formed in a substantially rectangular shape corresponding to the pair of locking pieces 33 provided so as to protrude symmetrically to the outer diameter side of the shaft member 30.

  FIG. 6 shows a case where the decorative member 4 is in the locked posture and the lock portion 22 is in the locked state. The pair of locking pieces 33 are arranged in a direction substantially orthogonal to the extending direction of the opening 34 of the locked portion 32 in the accommodating space between the locked portion 32 and the lower case 2, and the edges of the opening 34 It is arranged to engage with. Therefore, the pair of locking pieces 33 are prevented from passing through the opening 34, and the detachable portion 21 and the decorative member 4 are fixed to the base portion 20.

  FIG. 7 shows a case where the decorative member 4 is rotated 90 ° from the locked posture and the lock portion 22 is in the unlocked state. The pair of locking pieces 33 are aligned in a direction parallel to the extending direction of the opening 34 of the locked portion 32 and overlap the opening 34 in the accommodating space between the locked portion 32 and the lower case 2. Has been placed. Therefore, the pair of locking pieces 33 are allowed to pass through the opening 34, and the detachable portion 21 and the decorative member 4 can be detached from the base portion 20.

  Here, the upper surface of the decorative member 4 exposed through the opening 13 of the upper case 3 is formed in a polyhedron, and is not relative to the rotation angle (90 °) of the decorative member 4 between the locked state and the unlocked state. It is rotationally symmetric. Accordingly, as shown in FIGS. 6B and 7B, a part of the upper surface of the decorative member 4 visually recognized through the opening 13 is different in the locked state and the unlocked state, and the upper case 3 is In the closed state, it is possible to determine whether the lock unit 22 is in the locked state or in the unlocked state. Accordingly, for example, when the upper case 3 is carelessly opened when the lock portion 22 is in the unlocked state, the decorative member 4 can be prevented or suppressed from falling.

  Thus, the house toy 1 is rich in appearance and is excellent in handleability. Although the house toy 1 described above has a substantially heart shape as a whole and the decorative member 4 is also formed in a substantially heart shape, for example, as shown in FIG. 8, the house toy 1 has a substantially star shape as a whole. The decorative member 4 may also be formed in a substantially star shape, and its shape is not particularly limited.
