Further, the tongue piece 11 serving as the foot of the character is cut into the bottom surface portion 2e and the bottom portion inner flap 2g so as to be able to be folded out. By folding out the tongue piece 11 for the foot, it can be stably placed upright on a table or the like.

As shown in FIG. 6, the support 3 is die-cut into elongated strips on the left and right, and a valley fold line e is formed in the center in the longitudinal direction, and a mountain fold line f is formed in the left and right portions thereof. .. Further, fold lines g are formed at both ends of the support 3 in the longitudinal direction (horizontal direction in FIG. 6). By folding so as to overlap along the valley fold line e and the mountain fold line f, as shown by the virtual line in FIG. 10, it bends in a chevron shape on both the left and right sides of the central bending point 3A, that is, on both sides in the longitudinal direction. A spring portion having one bent portion 3B is configured. The front shape of this spring portion is roughly M-shaped in which two chevron bent portions 3B and 3B on both sides are connected by a valley-shaped bent portion 3A. As shown in FIG. 2, the depth D of the central valley-shaped bent portion 3A is larger than the height H of the two chevron bent portions 3B and 3B on both sides in order to connect to the base 2. , Deeply formed. That is, as shown in FIG. 6, the length L1 from the valley fold line e corresponding to the depth D of the valley-shaped bending portion 3A to the mountain fold line f is set to the height H of the mountain-shaped bending portions 3B and 3B. The length from the corresponding mountain fold line f to the fold line g is longer than L2. In this example, the length L1 from the valley fold line e to the mountain fold line f is the length from the mountain fold line f to the fold line g. It is longer than the length (L2 + L3) obtained by adding the length L3 from the fold line g to the tip of the tongue piece 3c to L2. Further, the length L2 is longer than the length L3.

A pair of notches 12 are formed at predetermined intervals in the width direction at the valley-shaped bending points 3A between the chevron-shaped bending portions 3B. By inserting and crossing the notch 12 into a pair of slits 13 formed at diagonal positions of the upper end opening in the base 2 shown in FIG. 9, one bending portion 3A at the center of the support 3 is formed. , It can be uprightly connected to the upper end opening of the base 2 without swinging left and right.

Tongue pieces 3c for connection are provided at the free end portions of the bent portions 3B, which are both ends in the longitudinal direction of the support body 3. By inserting the tongue piece 3c into the slits 14 and 15 formed on the left and right folding lines a facing each other at the bottom 1a of the head 1 shown in FIGS. 4 and 7, each bent portion 3B is inserted into the hollow head. The support 3 and the head 1 can be locked and connected in a state of being housed inside the head 1.

In this case, the width of the free end side 3d in the bent portion 3B is set to be the same as the width of the left and right end sides in the bottom portion 1a of the head 1. By inserting the tongue piece 3c into the slits 14 and 15 to the root, the free end side 3d of the bent portion 3B is engaged with the folded internal angle portion of the bottom portion 1a and the side surface portions 1d and 1e, and the head 1 and the support 3 are engaged. And are locked and connected without shifting in the width direction of the support (front-back direction).

As described above, one bent portion 3A at the center of the support 3 is inserted into the slit 13 of the upper end opening of the base 2 and connected, while the tongue piece 3c at the free end of each bent portion 3B of the support 3 is connected. Is inserted into the slits 14 and 15 of the bottom portion 1a of the head portion 1 and connected, so that the swing structure can be easily assembled without using an adhesive or the like. Moreover, it can be repeatedly assembled and disassembled and used many times.

Each bent portion 3B is formed with a narrow width at an intermediate portion between the bent portion 3A at the center in the longitudinal direction and the free end side 3d which is a free end portion. That is, since the chevron-shaped bent portion of the bent portion 3B is constricted, each bent portion 3B is easily twisted and deformed around the vertical axis. Further, it is avoided that the upper portion of the support 3 assembled to the head 1 comes into contact with the inner surface of the head 1.

When actually assembling the package, as shown in FIG. 11, the support 3 folded so as to overlap the head 1 in the unfolded state before assembling along the valley fold line e and the mountain fold line f. Insert both ends and lock. Next, the head 1 may be assembled in a hollow manner as described above, and then the bent portion 3A at the center of the support 3 protruding downward from the opening 4 of the head 1 may be locked and connected to the upper end of the base 2. ..

As shown in FIGS. 2 and 3, the package assembled in the form of a swinging doll has a support 3 having a pair of left and right chevron-shaped bent portions 3B that can be elastically bent and deformed. The head 1 is floatly supported by the base 2 via the base 2. Here, the support 3 can not only be flexed and deformed to the left and right by the pair of left and right chevron-shaped bent portions 3B with the central bent portion 3A as the vertical axis, but can also be twisted and deformed around the vertical axis. The head 1 connected and supported by the support 3 is combined with bending deformation and twisting deformation according to the degree of application of an external force, and performs a three-dimensional complicated swinging operation.

As described above, according to the present embodiment, a package in which the head of the character swings in a complicated manner can be easily manufactured inexpensively and easily using only the sheet-shaped or film-shaped material.

In addition, a package in which the character's head swings in a complicated and interesting manner can attract the attention of consumers and be purchased by consumers who like the package to promote sales of the product.

In addition to the form of providing this package to the user by packing it as an assembled finished product in which the confectionery is housed in the base 2, for example, it is assembled with three unfolded flat parts. It is conceivable that the instruction manual is packed as a set and provided, and the user assembles it to arbitrarily store sweets and make it as a gift.
