Although the decoration part 6 may be single, in this embodiment, the first and second decoration parts (referred to as 6A and 6B) are arranged in the region between the fixed pieces 7A and 7B. is doing. In this embodiment, each has a Santa Claus pattern and contour, but the present invention is not limited to this.

The first decorative body 6A integrally has a lever piece 60 as a lower structure. The lever piece 60 extends into the main body through a slit 102 formed in the upper wall 1c, and a ring is formed at the lower end. Part 600 is provided. The ring portion 600 has an inner diameter that substantially coincides with the crank portion 3a of the drive member 3, and is connected by being externally fitted to the crank portion 3a as shown in FIGS.
The second decorative body 6B is arranged independently of the first decorative body 6A and in the vicinity of the first decorative body 6A, and the first decorative body 6B is provided with the first motion converter 6a provided on the first decorative body 6A. When the decorative part 6A is oscillated, a different oscillating motion is performed.

More specifically, the first decorative part 6A has a lever piece 61 whose upper end is connected to the lever piece 60 by a connecting piece that can be bent, on the front side thereof. The ring portion 610 at the lower end is connected to the crank portion 3 a of the drive member 3 by being fitted through the slit 103 parallel to the slit 102. The crank portion 3a is provided with a protruding piece portion 30 that separates the two ring portions 600 and 610 at a predetermined interval.
The two lever pieces 60 and 61 are formed with vertically elongated holes 601 and 611 facing each other as shown in FIG. 5 in a portion above the upper wall 1c.

As shown in FIG. 5, the second decorative part 6B has L-shaped lever pieces 62, 62 integrally at the lower end, which are inserted into the short slits 104, 104 on both sides of the slit 103 with vertical portions, The side part is made to play the role of a stopper. A frame-like protrusion 65 as a slider that can be flattened is fixed to the back side of the second decorative body 6B, and the frame-like protrusion 65 passes through the longitudinally long holes 601 and 611 to form the first Movement in the front-rear direction is restricted by a retaining piece that reaches the back of the decorative body 6A and is larger than the vertically long hole 601.
Therefore, when the first decorative portion 6A swings at a required left / right angle with a large vertical movement due to the relationship between the crank portion 3a and the lever pieces 60, 61, the frame-shaped protruding piece 65 is formed in the vertically elongated holes 601, 611. Since the second decorative portion 6B is moved, the second decorative portion 6B swings to the left and right as long as the lateral portions of the left and right L-shaped lever pieces 62 and 62 abut against the lower surface of the upper wall 1c.

In order to increase the fun and complexity of the movement, in this embodiment, a third decorative body 6C is further arranged in the vicinity of the back plate 1f, and is moved up and down obliquely when the drive member 3 rotates.
More specifically, the third decorative portion 6C is well shown in FIG. 7, and in this example, the third decorative portion 6C has two left and right, and long lever pieces 66 and 66 are integrated on the back, respectively. Has been. The lever pieces 66 and 66 are different in length in this example, and are led below the back of the back plate through slits 105 and 105 provided in the back plate 1f, respectively, and the lower end portion is connected to the eccentric position of the disk-like member 5. .

  A specific example of the structure of the drive member 3 is shown in FIG. 10, and a crank portion 3a having a protruding piece portion 30 at an intermediate portion so that the drive member 3 can be flattened and flattened in a direction perpendicular to the paper surface. The upper and lower surfaces of the core piece 3A having the connecting portions 31 and 32 at both ends and having a frame shape as a whole are joined with the upper piece 3B and the lower piece 3C having the crank portion 3a in the middle. Has three U-shaped reinforcing pieces 3D and 3D interposed in order to increase rigidity during three-dimensionalization.

  Explaining the operation of the first embodiment, the main body 1 has the pop-up means 2 inside, and the tension of the elastic member 2b works in the diagonal direction in the normal state, so that it tends to become a cubic or rectangular parallelepiped cylinder. However, by pressing the upper wall 1c of the main body 1 or the boundary portion between it and the front wall 1a, the free end side of the inclined piece 2a of the pop-up means 2 is retracted diagonally, so that the main body 1 and the back plate 1f Is turned into a parallelogram as shown in FIG.

Since both ends of the drive member 3 are joined to the handle member 4 and the disk-like member 5, when the plate surface portion is in the vertical direction, the parallelogram is formed following the parallelogram of the main body 1. As a result, the lever pieces 60, 61, 66 also fall backward, and the decorative portion 6 also falls backward.
By continuing the pressing, the drive member 3 and the pop-up means 2 are finally sandwiched between the folded main body 1 and flattened so that the respective constituent members overlap, and the handle member 4 also overlaps the front wall 1 a of the main body 1. Therefore, as shown in FIG. 8, the whole is in a compact flat state, can be easily loaded into a packaging bag H such as a standard envelope, and can be mailed, and the display for sale is not bulky and easy.

Whether or not the plate surface portion of the drive member 3 is directed in the vertical direction can be immediately determined by the circumferential position of the operation portion 4a in the handle member 4. That is, in this example, when the operation portion 4a is at an upper position close to the upper wall or at a position displaced by 180 degrees, the plate surface portion of the drive member 3 is directed in the vertical direction. For this reason, the crushing damage of the drive member 3 can be avoided by checking the circumferential direction position of the operation part 4a and pressing the main body 1.

If the original product is taken out from the above state, the main body 1 changes from a flat state to a parallelogram shape as shown in FIG. 8 due to the tension acting on the diagonal line of the elastic member 2b of the pop-up means 2, and finally, as shown in FIG. Thus, it becomes a cubic shape or a rectangular parallelepiped shape. At this time, the free end of the slant piece 2a is in contact with or close to the corner of the main body 1, so that the rigidity is increased by the bracing action and a solid box state is formed.

As the main body 1 is three-dimensionalized, the drive member 3 is also three-dimensionally shaped into a rectangular frame so as to form a rectangular parallelepiped when viewed from the side, and is rigid. The lever pieces 60 and 61 also stand vertically with respect to the drive member 3, and the decorative parts 6 are arranged on the main body 1 at a predetermined interval in the front-rear direction.
This stationary state is also interesting, and it can be enjoyed by looking at the arrangement of the decorative part 6 or reading the congratulations displayed on the handle member 4 or the message written on the back plate 1f.

  In this state, hold the main body 1 so as not to move, operate the operation part 4a of the handle member 4 (in this example, it is a hole and insert a finger), and rotate the handle member 4 clockwise or counterclockwise. Then, the drive member 3 and the disc-like member 5 at the end that are mounted through the main body 1 rotate. The drive member 3 has a crank portion 3a in the middle, and lower end ring portions 600 and 610 of the lever pieces 60 and 61 of the decorative portion 6A are connected to the crank portion 3a. Since the lower end portions of the 6C lever pieces 66 and 66 are connected, the rotation of the driving member 3 causes the first decorative body 6A to swing left and right while expanding and contracting vertically as shown in FIG. Do exercise.

The lever pieces 60 and 61 of the first decorative part 6A have a motion converting part 6a, and a frame-like protruding piece from the back of the second decorative part B with respect to the longitudinally long holes 610 and 611 constituting the same. When the height and direction of the elongated holes 610 and 610 change according to the movement of the lever pieces 60 and 61, the frame-like protruding piece 65 is pushed and guided, so that the second decorative body As can be seen from FIG. 5, 6B performs a left-right swinging motion different from that of the first decorative body 6A.

As the disk-shaped member 5 rotates, the left and right lever pieces 66, 66 connected to the eccentric position thereof move up and down while changing the inclination angle on the front side of the back plate 1f. As a result, the third decorative body 6C, 6C changes from a hidden state behind the first decorative body 6A to a state protruding upward from the first decorative body 6A as shown in FIG.
11 to 13 show changes in the movement or state of the decorative parts 6A, 6B, and 6C every 90 degrees when the drive member 3 is rotated from the state shown in FIG. In some cases, the third decorative body 6C, 6C is hidden. In this example, the first decorative body 6A is tilted to the right, and the second decorative body 6B is slightly tilted to the left and sinks. Yes.

When rotated 90 degrees from now on, as shown in FIG. 11, the first decorative part 6A is lowered to the right and lifted to a high position, and the second decorative part 6B is also raised almost vertically, so that the third decorative part is raised. 6C is looking slightly at the left side and the right side is slightly lowered.
When further rotated 90 degrees, as shown in FIG. 12, the first decorative body 6A tilts to the left in the raised position, the second decorative body 6B moves down and tilts to the left, and the third decorative body 6C. Is located at a position opened to the left and right.
When further rotated by 90 degrees, as shown in FIG. 13, the first decorative part 6A is lowered to the lower position to the lower position, and the second decorative part 6B is substantially horizontal and is at the lower limit position. The left side of the body 6C is peeped at the same level as the first decorative body 6A, and the right side is slightly peeped slightly higher.
Therefore, it is possible to create a dynamic scene as if many Santa Clauses are located in front and back and are flying and dancing in various directions (if the direction of rotation is reversed, the movement will be different) ) So you can enjoy it as a toy.

  After use, the handle member 4 may be operated to the position where the operation portion 4a is located at the upper position close to the upper wall or the position displaced by 180 degrees, and the main body 1 is pressed, and the state shown in FIG. 8 is in a flat state. Therefore, it can be stored without taking up space until the next season.

  14 to 16 show a second embodiment of the present invention, in which a cylindrical main body 1, a pop-up means 2, a drive member 3 having a crank portion 3a, a handle member 4, and a main body on the main body. And the lower part has a movable decorative part 6 connected to the crank part 3a, the whole changes from a flat shape to a three-dimensional shape, and the driving member 3 is rotated by the rotation of the handle member 4 in a three-dimensional state. However, the point that the decorative portion 6 is configured to perform a swinging motion is the same as in the first embodiment.

However, in this embodiment, there is one pop-up means 2 and the decorative parts 6A and 6B are arranged on the left and right at substantially the same position in the front-rear direction. In this example, the decorative part 6A represents a sleigh on which Santa Claus rides, and the decorative part 6B represents a reindeer.
Each decorative part 6A, 6B has lever pieces 60, 61 extending through the slits in the upper wall 1c. The lever pieces 60 and 61 extend in a substantially V shape on the front surface, and the ring portions 600 and 610 at the lower end are connected to the crank portion 3 a of the drive member 3. Each of the lever pieces 60 and 61 is composed of two parallel sets. And the decoration part body 6B is comprised from front and back two pieces, and the ring part 611 of the upper end of the lever piece 61 is externally fitted so that relative rotation is possible at the connection part 68 which connects between them. In order to obtain a stable movement, each decorative part 6A, 6B has a guide piece 69 extending through the slit of the upper wall 1c.

In the second embodiment, when the handle member 4 is rotated, the drive member 3 rotates, and the lever pieces 60 and 61 connected to the crank portion 3a move up and down. Since the lever pieces 60 and 61 have different lengths and are V-shaped, the decorative parts 6A and 6B perform different swinging movements.
