Then, the infant's face can be visually recognized from the mother side through the installation portion of the light shielding plate 20 (FIG. 1B), and the mother's face can also be visually recognized from the infant side (FIG. 2B).
[0011]
Hereinafter, this mechanism will be described.
[0012]
As shown in FIG. 3, the toy 100 for infants includes frames 30 and 31 and covers 32 and 33. The frames 30 and 31 are provided with windows 30a and 31a in the center. The frames 30 and 31 can be coupled to each other by fitting the concave portion and the convex portion. On the other hand, the covers 32 and 33 are installed in the frames 30 and 31 to be joined. When the covers 32 and 33 are installed in the frames 30 and 31 to be joined, their edges are in contact with each other to form a box. The covers 32 and 33 are transparent so that the inside can be seen.
[0013]
A plurality of rectangular light shielding plates 20 are provided in the covers 32 and 33 constituting the box. A shaft is attached to both ends in the longitudinal direction of each light shielding plate 20, and this shaft protrudes from the covers 32, 33 through a recess 33 a of the cover 33. Each light shielding plate 20 is supported by covers 32 and 33 and is rotatable about the axis. The axes of the plurality of light shielding plates 20 are provided on the same plane.
[0014]
A fan-shaped positioning piece 20a as shown in FIG. 4 is provided at one end of the shaft. A positioning slider 40 is installed near the positioning piece 20a as shown in FIGS. As shown in FIGS. 3 and 6, the positioning slider 40 has a plurality of protrusions 40a formed at equal intervals. The positioning piece 20a is located between adjacent protrusions 40a. Two positioning surfaces that form an angle of 90 degrees with each other are provided on the outer periphery of the positioning piece 20a. The positioning slider 40 is urged in one direction by a pulling spring 41 so that the projection 40a and the positioning surface come into contact with each other. The positioning piece 20a and the positioning slider 40 constitute positioning means.
[0015]
On the other hand, a mushroom-shaped turning piece 20b as shown in FIG. 4 is attached to the other end of the shaft. A rotating slider 42 is provided near the rotating piece 20b as shown in FIGS. The rotating slider 42 is coupled to the movable grip 11 so that the rotating slider 42 is interlocked when the movable grip 11 is operated.
