Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] (Field of Industrial Application) The present invention relates to a safe inset toy for infants that allows both inset picture play and block play.

(Prior art) It has been shown that picture play and block play are extremely effective for increasing children's creativity, concentration, creativity, expressiveness, compositional ability, thinking ability, motor skills, independence, etc. As suggested by many educators, it is common for conventional toys for playing with pictures to be used only for playing with pictures, and toys for playing with blocks to be used only for playing with blocks. .

(Problems to be Solved by the Invention) The problem to be solved by the invention is to provide an educational toy that can be used in both the above-mentioned inset picture play and block play, which are effective for early childhood education, and is also highly safe. The point is that they are trying to provide toys.

(Means for Solving the Problems) The fitted toy of the present invention has rectangular concave portions and rectangular convex portions for fitting connection formed alternately over the entire circumference, and a fitting piece is inserted into a through hole provided in the center. A required number of elastic rectangular plates made of closed-cell polyolefin synthetic resin foam that are removably fitted are connected in a rectangular shape by fitting each of the required rectangular recesses and rectangular protrusions. The rectangular recesses and rectangular protrusions appearing on the entire outer peripheral surface are connected and surrounded by fitting the rectangular recesses and rectangular protrusions formed on the inner peripheral surface of the elastic outer frame of the same material made of a plurality of split frame materials. It is characterized by:

(Embodiments) Next, the present invention will be described in detail with reference to illustrated embodiments.

Reference numeral 1 denotes an elastic rectangular plate made of polyethylene resin foam as a closed-cell polyolefin synthetic resin foam, with a side length of approximately 160 mm and a thickness of approximately 20 mm. In other words, rectangular recesses 2 and rectangular protrusions 3 for fitting and connection are alternately formed. Nine pieces of the elastic square plates 1 are made into a set and are connected in a square shape by fitting the square concave portions 2 and the square convex portions 3 necessary for each set. Reference numeral 4 denotes an elastic outer frame made of the same material as the elastic rectangular plate 1 and having a length of about 480 mm on one side, a width of 40 mm on each side, and a thickness of about 20 mm. A square recess 5 that fits into and connects the square recess 2 and the square protrusion 3 of the square plate 1
A square convex portion 6 is formed, and the elastic outer frame 4
is made up of a split frame material 4a, a split frame material 4b, and two split frame materials 4c and 4d, each of which is formed at both ends into tenon-shaped and mortise-shaped connecting ends 7 and 8. A rectangular recess 5 and a rectangular protrusion formed on the inner peripheral surface of the rectangular recess 2 and rectangular protrusion 3 appearing on the entire outer circumferential surface of a connected body in which the nine elastic rectangular plates 1 are connected in a rectangular shape. 6 are fitted together to connect and surround. Reference numeral 9 denotes a through hole in the shape of a letter or picture provided at the center of each elastic square plate 1, and a fitting piece 10 is removably fitted into the through hole 9 to fill the hole. In addition, each elastic square plate 1 and elastic outer frame 4
It is preferable that the fitting pieces 10 are of different colors and are richly colored.
A connecting hole 12 filled with a plug 11 is normally provided at the end portions of c and 4d, and a connecting member (not shown) can be inserted and connected when it is desired to maintain a strong connected state. good.

In this structure, nine elastic rectangular plates 1 made of polyolefin synthetic resin foam are formed alternately over the entire circumferential surface, and each has rectangular recesses 2 and rectangular protrusions 3 for fitting and connection. Because it is in the form of an elastic rectangular sheet that is connected by fitting with and securely supported within the elastic outer frame 4 made of the same material,
It is light and has a good feel, is strong and water resistant, so there is little risk of damage even when played with by young children, and can also be used as a decoration or as a cushioned rug. It is. Therefore, when playing with picture fittings, in addition to inserting and removing the fitting piece 10 that is removably fitted into the through hole 9 in the center of each elastic square plate 1, By dividing the divided frame members 4a, 4b, 4c, 4d, etc. that form the elastic outer frame 4 into individual parts and returning them to their old state, it is possible to enjoy a variety of games. In addition, when playing with blocks, the elastic outer frame 4 is separated into individual split frame members 4a, 4b, 4c, and 4d, and the nine elastic square plates 1 connected to each other are unenclosed, and each elastic corner is Each elastic square plate 1 is made by utilizing the fact that the rectangular concave portions 2 and the rectangular convex portions 3 for fitting and connecting, which are formed alternately over the entire circumferential surface of the plate 1, are rectangular so that they can be fitted and connected at any angle. A three-dimensional object is assembled by connecting two, three, or four pieces of the above, and if necessary, the number of elastic square plates 1 is further increased to form one piece of the separated split frame material 4a, 4b, 4c, and 4d. Or the unused rectangular recesses 2 and rectangular protrusions 3 of the elastic rectangular plate 1 assembled into the three-dimensional object using two or more rectangular recesses 5 and rectangular protrusions 6 formed on the inner peripheral surfaces of each of them. By fitting and connecting them, for example, it can be assembled into an interesting car-like form as shown in FIG.

(Effects of the invention) As is clear from the explanation of the above embodiments, the present invention takes the form of a non-bulky elastic rectangular sheet that is normally connected and surrounded by an elastic outer frame and serves as a stable decoration or rug. It allows children to play with flying pictures, which is effective for improving their intelligence, and to play with blocks, which allows them to assemble three-dimensional objects. It is light and feels good to the touch, is strong, and has excellent water resistance.Moreover, the material will not be damaged even if the required number of elastic rectangular plates are repeatedly fitted into and removed from the rectangular recesses and rectangular protrusions. It can be fitted and removed accurately over a long period of time, and its durability and practical value are extremely great.
