Hereinafter, a toy 1 which is an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. 1 to 12.
FIG. 1 is a perspective view of the toy 1 in the first form 1F. FIG. 2 is a cross-sectional view taken along line AA in FIG.

As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the toy 1 has a first form 1F, which is a roughly spherical capsule form that can be supplied from an article supply device, and a non-spherical display form, which cannot be supplied from an article supply device. The second form 2F (see FIG. 6) is provided with a toy main body portion 10 that can be changed into a second form 2F (see FIG. 6).

The toy main body part 10 includes a dome part 11 which is a first part formed into a hollow spherical shape, a pedestal part 12 which is a second part connected to the dome part 11 in the first form 1F, and a base part 12 which is a second part connected to the dome part 11 in the first form 1F. At 1F, a flat plate 14 is a fourth component housed in the internal space SP of the dome part 11, a lid 13 is a third component that can close the internal space SP of the dome part 11 (see FIG. 2), and , and an emblem 15 (see FIG. 1), which is a fifth component on which character information is formed.

In addition, the toy 1 is connected to the pedestal part 12 in the first form 1F, and has a sixth part, a supplementary ball, which constitutes a part of the spherical shape to compensate for the missing part of the pedestal part 12, which has a truncated cone shape (see FIG. 3). A component 16 is provided. That is, in the first form 1F, by providing the supplementary ball component 16, the overall shape of the first form 1F becomes closer to a spherical shape.

In the first form 1F and the second form 2F, the dome part 11 forms a sealed space with the flat plate 14 housed in the spherical internal space SP. Further, in the first form 1F, the pedestal part 12 is configured to a size that does not allow the pedestal part 12 to be accommodated in the internal space SP of the dome part 11, as shown in the figure and as can be seen from its size. Therefore, in the first form 1F, the pedestal part 12 is provided so as to cover a part of the dome part 11 so that its inner surface 121a contacts (or faces) the dome part 11, and furthermore, the pedestal part 12 A complementary ball component 16 is provided to cover the flat portion (upper surface 12a) of the ball, and is covered with a wrapping film 30.

In the first form 1F, the internal space SP of the dome portion 11 is a space in which only the flat plate 14 is accommodated as described above. However, in the second form 2F, as described later, a liquid w such as water is accommodated in the internal space SP.

The entire dome portion 11 is made of a light-transmitting member. Therefore, the flat plate 14 provided so as to divide the internal space SP can be visually observed from the outside. Further, the flat plate 14 has a substantially disk-shaped flat plate structure that is flat on both the front and back surfaces. On one side (front surface), for example, first information i1 (see FIG. 8) of a representative image representing the title written in the emblem 15 is formed. On the other hand, an image of second information i2 (see FIG. 8) different from the first information i1 is formed on the other side (back side).

FIG. 3 is a perspective view showing the initial state when changing the toy 1 to the second form 2F.

When changing from the first form 1F to the second form 2F, first, the wrapping film 30 is removed. As a result, as shown in FIG. 3, the supplementary ball component 16 separates from the upper surface 12a of the truncated cone-shaped pedestal section 12. The inside of the supplementary ball component 16 is provided with a connecting shaft 16a that is inserted into the connecting hole 12e of the pedestal portion 12, and an annular projection 16b that comes into contact with the lid 13 (see FIG. 2).

Therefore, when removing the supplementary ball component 16 from the pedestal portion 12, it is removed by pulling out the connecting shaft 16a. Moreover, when separating the dome part 11 and the pedestal part 12, the pedestal part 12 is pulled out from the lid 13 attached to the dome part 11. That is, since the lid 13 is fitted into the holding hole 12h of the pedestal part 12, the pedestal part 12 and the dome part 11 are separated by pulling out to release this fitting.

FIG. 4 is a perspective view showing a state in which the lid 13 is removed from the dome portion 11.
As shown in FIG. 4, the dome portion 11 is provided with an opening 11c. This opening 11c is an opening formed in a protrusion 11f that protrudes in a cylindrical shape from the spherical outer surface 11s of the dome portion 11. The lid 13 is attached to cover the protrusion 11f and has a fitting part 13a (see FIG. 9) that fits into the opening 11c, thereby sealing the opening 11c. Therefore, by injecting the liquid w such as water through the opening 11c and then closing the dome part 11, the liquid w can be held in the internal space SP without leaking.

Further, in the first form 1F, the outer surface 11s of the dome portion 11 has a circular shape centered on the first portion 11a corresponding to the bottom surface 12b of the pedestal portion 12, that is, the opening 11c. area is covered (see Figure 2). Moreover, in the second form 2F, the second portion 11b inside the first portion 11a corresponding to the recessed surface 12d (see FIGS. 3 and 7) formed on the upper surface 12a is covered.

In this way, since the pedestal part 12 has a truncated conical shape as described above, it covers the area (first part 11a) that covers the dome part 11 in the first form 1F and the dome part 11 in the second form 2F. The region (second portion 11b) differs in size, but in either form it covers the opening 11c (protrusion 11f) so that it cannot be seen from the outside.

FIG. 5 is a perspective view when the dome part 11 and the pedestal part 12 are changed into the second form 2F.
The dome part 11 filled with the liquid w as shown in FIG. 4 is assembled on the upper surface 12a side of the pedestal part 12, as shown in FIG. More specifically, the lid 13 is fitted into the holding hole 12h formed in the recessed surface 12d of the upper surface 12a. At this time, the guide protrusion 11g provided on the dome portion 11 is fitted into the holding groove 12f provided on the recessed surface 12d.

FIG. 6 is a perspective view of the second form 2F of the toy 1. FIG. 7 is a cross-sectional view taken along line BB in FIG.
As shown in FIG. 6, in the second form 2F, the orientation of the dome part 11 and the pedestal part 12 is assembled in the opposite direction to that in the first form 1F, and the pedestal part 12 supports the dome part 11 in a side view. It is configured as a trapezoidal support part. In this second form 2F, as shown in FIG. 7, the recessed surface 12d of the pedestal portion 12 is formed into a curved surface that is approximately the same as the curvature of the outer surface 11s of the dome portion 11. The region of the second portion 11b of the portion 11 is supported so as to be in contact with the recessed surface 12d, that is, the outer surface (recessed surface 12d) of the second component 122, which will be described later.

8 shows the state of the second form 2F, (a) is a front view of the toy 1, (b) is a rear view of the toy 1, and (c) is a side view of the toy 1. be.
As shown in FIG. 8(a), when the toy 1 of the second form 2F is viewed from the direction in which the emblem 15 is the front, the first information i1 is visible. For example, when this first information i1 is viewed from the front, the central part of the image appears to have a shape similar to the image drawn on the flat plate 14, but as it moves away from the center, it becomes different from the original drawn image. Seen in shape. Particularly, when viewed from a direction slightly diagonal to the front, the image of the first information i1 appears to change greatly due to the refraction of light by the liquid w within the dome portion 11.

Also, in the second information i2 shown in FIG. 8(b), effects based on light refraction are performed similarly to the first information i1. Note that the images shown in FIGS. 8(a) and 8(b) are shown in a state close to the original image drawn on the flat plate 14.

Here, as shown in FIG. 8(c), the flat plate 14 is inclined at a predetermined angle θ with respect to the bottom surface 12b of the pedestal portion 12, that is, the mounting portion 40, so that the first information i1 is directed upward. is set to . This is because when the toy 1 is placed on the placing part 40, for example, a table or desk, the line of sight when viewing the toy 1 is slightly obliquely upward, and the first information i1 is inclined upward. Thus, the first information i1 can be viewed almost directly in front.
On the other hand, in the case of the second information i2, it is drawn on a downwardly inclined surface. In this case, the image is easier to see when the toy 1 is placed higher than the eye level.

FIG. 9 is an enlarged exploded perspective view of the dome portion 11, the lid 13, and the flat plate 14.
As shown in FIG. 9, the dome portion 11 includes, for example, a first dome half 111 having a hemispherical shape on the front side (a hemispherical shape forming half the first internal space SP1) and a hemispherical first dome half body 111 on the rear side (half the hemisphere forming the first internal space SP1). It is configured in combination with a second dome half body 112 (hemispherical) that forms a second internal space SP2. Note that the front side and the rear side are determined by the installation orientation of the flat plate 14, and may be either side. The first dome half 111 has a circumferential groove 111a formed at the joint edge with the second dome half 112 by an outermost circular portion 111b and an inner edge convex portion 111c inside the outermost circular portion 111b. The circumferential convex portion 112a of the joining edge of the second dome half body 112 is configured to fit into the circumferential groove 111a.

Further, the first dome half body 111 is provided with a cylindrical protrusion 11f that constitutes the opening 11c, and a half of a guide protrusion 11g that is continuous with the protrusion 11f. Further, a pair of rectangular recesses 11d are provided at the joining edge, and are configured to be able to receive the rectangular projections 14b of the flat plate 14.
As described above, the second dome half body 112 is provided with a circumferential convex portion 112a at the joining edge, and is also provided with a semicircular notch portion 112b for receiving the protrusion portion 11f. Furthermore, a half of the guide protrusion 11g is provided adjacent to the semicircular notch 112b.

When assembling the first dome half 111 and the second dome half 112, first, the rectangular protrusion 14b of the flat plate 14 is fitted into the rectangular recess 11d, and the substantially circular protrusion 14a is fitted into the opening 11c, which is a circular recess. Next, the second dome half 112 is combined with the first dome half 111, and in this combined state, the first dome half 111 and the second dome half 112 are attached by, for example, ultrasonic welding. Connecting.

By assembling in this way, the flat plate 14 is held in the internal space SP in a non-swingable state. The flat plate 14 divides the interior space SP into a first interior space SP1 and a second interior space SP2. Further, the lid 13 is fitted into the protrusion 11f to seal the opening 11c. Note that since the substantially circular convex portion 14a is provided with a plurality of slit openings 14c, the liquid w can enter the internal space SP without blocking the opening 11c.

FIG. 10 is an enlarged exploded perspective view of the pedestal section 12 and the emblem 15.
The pedestal portion 12 includes a first component 121 located on the lower side and a second component 122 located on the upper side in the second form 2F. The first component 121 and the second component 122 can be easily attached and detached. For example, as shown in FIG. 10, the four fitting shafts 122b of the second component 122 are inserted into the four fitting holes 121b formed in the first component 121 and assembled. At this time, the annular wall portion 122a forming the holding hole 12h of the second component 122 is inserted into the circular hole 121e of the first component 121. Further, the inclined outer surface 121s of the first component 121 is provided with an emblem mounting portion 121c that is recessed inward.
