In the present embodiment, as described above, since the fixed angle of the circular connecting male part 31a and the forming angle of the circular connecting female part 32a are matched, the side surfaces of the parts are connected in a parallel positional relationship. can do.

  Further, since 16 gear-shaped convex portions 41 and concave portions 42 are provided at equal intervals, the arm-shaped part 2b is shifted by 22.5 degrees in the rotational direction as shown by the broken line in FIG. It can be connected at an angle of. Therefore, it is not limited to a general connection angle such as 90 degrees or 180 degrees, but a fine connection angle is selected according to the number of gear teeth, and each arm-shaped part 2b is connected and combined by crossing in various directions. be able to.

  Furthermore, in this embodiment, each circular connection male part 31a is being fixed to the arm-shaped part 2b so that rotation is impossible, and the movement of each arm-shaped part 2b is restrict | limited by fitting with either of the connection female parts 32. To do. For this reason, as shown in FIG. 20, the parts 2 connected to each other do not rotate due to their own weights and can be fixed at various connection angles, so that the degree of freedom of combination is increased.

  Next, as shown in FIG. 21, the case where the arc-shaped connecting female portion 32b of the arm-shaped part 2b shown in FIG. 4 is connected to the arc-shaped connecting male portion 31b of the arm-shaped part 2b shown in FIG. explain.

That is, in this case, a valley portion between adjacent arc-shaped connecting male portions 31b is a female portion, and a cross-shaped end portion between adjacent arc-shaped connecting female portions 32b is connected as a male portion. At this time, as shown in FIG. 27, the length of the convex portions 41 of the adjacent arc-shaped connecting female portions 32b is longer than the length m of the convex portions 41 on the proximal end side of the adjacent arc-shaped connecting male portions 31b. n is longer. Therefore, the valley portion of the adjacent arc-shaped connecting male portion 31b and the cross-shaped end portion between the adjacent arc-shaped connecting female portions 32b are engaged with each other and connected to each other, and even if each part is pulled in the longitudinal direction, it is detached. There is nothing.

  Moreover, in this embodiment, the side surface of each part main body 21, the outer peripheral surface of the connection male part 31, and the inner peripheral surface of the connection female part 32 are baked unlike the color of the wood which is a raw material. Therefore, even if it is the person who saw the assembly-type toy 1 of this embodiment for the first time, it can understand that these are the connection means 3 at a glance.

  In addition, each part 2 alone has a more three-dimensional effect due to the color contrast, and the appearance is improved. In addition, as shown in Example 1 described later, the circular connection male part 31a can be used as an accent, like an animal nose.

  Furthermore, after being assembled, each part 2 becomes a partition, and the shape of the work can be further enhanced.
