Description

【0001】
【発明の属する技術分野】
この発明は、遊戯具に関し、より特定的には、遊戯具の構造の改良に関するものである。
【0002】
【従来の技術および発明が解決しようとする課題】
従来、乳幼児を寝かせた状態において、乳幼児を覆うようにして用いられる図9に示すような遊戯具がある。
【0003】
この遊戯具100は、アーチ状のフレーム部材110,120を十字状に配置し、フレーム部材110,120のそれぞれの下端部がシート部材121に固定されることにより、その形状を保つようにしているものである。
【0004】
このように構成された遊戯具を用いて、この遊戯具に玩具などを吊下げることにより、乳幼児を寝かせた状態において遊ばせることが可能となる。
【0005】
しかしながら、この図9に示す構造からなる遊戯具においては、その形態が一義的に固定されてしまうために、乳幼児の成長に合わせてその形態を変化させること、たとえば遊戯具100の高さ(h)を調整すること等ができないという問題があった。
【0006】
この発明は、上述した問題点を解決するためになされたもので、乳幼児の成長に合わせて、その形態を変化させることのできる遊戯具を提供することにある。
【0007】
【課題を解決するための手段】
この発明に基づいた遊戯具においては、互いの上端部が着脱可能に連結される第1および第2フレーム部材と、この第1および第2フレーム部材の互いの下端間の間隔を調整するため、第1および第2フレーム部材の側部を連結するための連結部材とを備えている。
【0008】
この構造において、連結部材を第1および第2フレーム部材の上端部近傍に装着した場合においては、第1および第2フレーム部材の下端間の間隔が広くなる。その結果、第1および第2フレーム部材の上端部の床面からの高さを、低く設定することができる。
【0009】
また、連結部材を第1および第2フレーム部材の下端部近傍に取付けた場合、第1および第2フレーム部材の下端間の距離はほぼ連結部材の長さに等しくなり、第1および第2フレーム部材の上端部の床面からの高さを、高くすることが可能となる。したがって、乳幼児の成長に適合した高さに、遊戯具を設定することが可能となり、乳幼児にとって最も適した状態で遊戯具を使用することが可能となる。
【0010】
【発明の実施の形態】
以下、図を参照して、この発明に基づく遊戯具の一実施の形態について説明する。
【0011】
まず図1を参照して、この実施の形態における遊戯具1の構造について説明する。
【0012】
この遊戯具1は、アーチ形状のフレーム部材10およびフレーム部材11を有している。フレーム部材10およびフレーム部材11の上端部は、互いに着脱可能にフレーム部材10とフレーム部材11とが連結されている。
【0013】
フレーム部材10およびフレーム部材11の下端部には、それぞれ、フレーム部材10の下端部およびフレーム部材11の下端部を連結するベース部材12,ベース部材13が設けられている。
【0014】
さらに、フレーム部材10とフレーム部材11との側部には、フレーム部材10とフレーム部材11とを連結し、またフレーム部材10とフレーム部材11との間隔を変更することによって、遊戯具1の高さを変更するための連結部材14および連結部材15が設けられている。
【0015】
次に、図2を参照して、フレーム部材10,11およびフレーム部材10,11の上端部における連結構造について説明する。なお図2は、図1中X−X′線矢視断面図である。
【0016】
フレーム部材10は、芯材10cの周囲にクッション材10bが巻付けられ、このクッション材10bの表面を覆うように外装フィルム10aが設けられている。また、フレーム部材11も同様に、芯材11cの周囲にクッション材11bが巻付けられ、このクッション材11bが外装フィルム11aによって覆われている。
【0017】
このように、芯材の周囲をクッション部材で覆うことにより、フレーム部材としての構成を十分に保つとともに、乳幼児に対して怪我などをさせることのない遊戯具を提供することが可能となる。
【0018】
また、フレーム部材10とフレーム部材11との上端部においては、フック部材16により、互いの上端部が着脱可能に連結されており、本実施の形態においては、フレーム部材10側に凸部材16aが取付けられ、フレーム部材11側に凹部材16bが取付けられている。このように、フレーム部材10とフレーム部材11との上端部を着脱可能な構造にすることにより、遊戯具1を収納する場合には、この部分を外すことにより、小さくコンパクトに収納することが可能となる。
【0019】
次に、連結部材14,15のフレーム部材10,11への取付について、図3を参照して、説明する。なお図3は、図1中Y−Y′線矢視断面図である。
【0020】
まず、連結部材14は、クッション部材14aの表面に外装フィルム14bが巻付けられ、その先端部に、フレーム部材10,11へ巻付けるための連結ベルト14cが取付けられている。連結ベルト14cの両端部には、図3に示すようにマジックテープ14d,14eが取付けられ、自在に着脱可能に設けられている。
【0021】
上記構造よりなる遊戯具において、たとえば連結部材14および連結部材15をフレーム部材10およびフレーム部材11の上端部近傍に取付けた場合、図4に示すように、フレーム部材10およびフレーム部材11の下端間の間隔は広くなり、その結果遊戯具1の床面からの高さを低く設定することが可能となる。
【0022】
一方、連結部材14および連結部材15を、フレーム部材10およびフレーム部材11の下端部近傍に設けた場合、フレーム部材10とフレーム部材11との下端部の間隔は、ほぼ連結部材14,15の長さに等しくなり、その結果遊戯具1の高さを高くすることが可能となる。
【0023】
したがって、連結部材14,15をフレーム部材10,11の任意の高さに設けることによって、遊戯具1の床面からの高さを任意の高さに変えることが可能となり、常に乳幼児の成長の度合に最も適した高さを選択することが可能となる。
【0024】
また、本実施の形態における遊戯具においては、図6に示すように、フレーム部材10,11の下端部にマット部材20を設けることにより、乳幼児が、このマット部材20の上に寝ることが可能となり、乳幼児に心地よさを与え、また屋外においても容易に用いることが可能となる。また、遊戯具1に玩具などを吊下げる場合においても、連結部材14,15の部分にも玩具21などを吊下げることが可能となる。
【0025】
さらに、この遊戯具1を屋外において用いた場合、図7に示すようにフレーム部材10,11の一方側にフレーム部材を覆うカバー23bを設け、さらにマット部材23a等からなる日除け付きマット部材23を設けることにより、屋外において用いた場合においても、マット23aに寝る乳幼児に対して、直射日光を遮ることが可能となる。また、日除け付きマット23に、たとえば図8に示すような風景画など乳幼児が喜ぶ挿絵23a,23bを設け、その風景画に調和する玩具26,27を吊下げることにより、より快適な空間を乳幼児に対して与えることが可能となる。
【0026】
以上、今回開示した実施の形態はすべての点で例示であって制限的なものではないと考えられるべきである。たとえば、フレーム部材の構造、フレーム部材の上端を着脱するためのフック部材、連結ベルトに設けられるフレーム部材への取付けのためのテープ等は、上述したものに限らず、他の部材、手段を用いることが可能である。したがって、本発明の範囲は上記した説明ではなく、特許請求の範囲によって示されて、特許請求の範囲と均等の意味および範囲内でのすべての変更が含まれることが意図される。
