Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] This invention relates to a cooking toy that can be played with by cooking and eating the cooked food using tableware.

With conventional cooking toys, the appearance of the toy's components does not change even when simulated eating and drinking actions or cooking actions are performed, so it does not give the impression of eating or drinking, and the player does not feel much interest in it, so the player gets bored with it quickly. Therefore, the rate of repeated use of toys was low and the period of use was relatively short. Furthermore, since there is nothing to express how the appearance of the simulated food changes as it is cooked, there is no realism in the game of cooking and eating the cooked food using tableware.

In view of the above points, this invention uses simulated eating and cooking motions to create a change in appearance as if the food was actually being cooked and eaten, thereby adding realism. To provide a cooking toy that arouses players' interest, improves the rate of repeated use, and extends the period of use.

In order to achieve the above objective, this invention is a cooking toy: (a) A transparent plate with cooking items printed on it is provided on the surface of the container made of a magnetically permeable material, and the cooking toy is printed under the transparent plate. (b) Eating and drinking utensils equipped with a magnet at least at the tip; and (c) Flat tableware that generates magnetic flux on the top surface. It consists of a cooking device with a surface, and

Next, one embodiment of this invention will be described based on the drawings.

The cooking toy according to this invention uses flat tableware A.

As clearly shown in FIG. 2, the flat tableware A has a transparent plate 2 on the surface of a container 1 made of a magnetically permeable material. This transparent board is filled with foods that young children like, such as familiar foods with clear outlines, such as fish.
Any other food items are printed.

A viscous fluid 5 mixed with magnetic powder 4 is sealed between the transparent plate 2 and the bottom of the container 1. This viscous fluid 5 has a color different from the printed color of the food product 3;
For example, it has a milky white color, and the specific gravity of the magnetic powder 4 is greater than the specific gravity of the viscous fluid 5. Further, the magnetic powder has a similar color to the printed color of the dish 3.

A honeycomb 6 is interposed between the transparent plate 2 and the bottom of the vessel to form cells, and magnetic powder is distributed almost equally within each cell.

When flat tableware A is left in a horizontal position for a long time, the magnetic powder will settle as shown in Figure 2, and the color of the viscous fluid, for example milky white, will be visible through the transparent plate, causing the magnetic powder to settle on the surface of the flat tableware. , dish 3 stands out.

This idea uses eating utensil B.

The eating utensil B is a fork, spoon, knife, etc. for eating the food from the flat tableware A, and these eating utensils are equipped with a magnet 7 at the tip.

Therefore, by using this eating utensil, the food 3 on the surface of the flat tableware A is printed with the tip of the eating utensil B. When the tip of the eating utensil touches the tip of the eating utensil, the magnetic powder 4 in the cells in the area touched by the tip of the eating utensil floats up due to the attractive force of the magnet 7 and approaches the transparent plate 2. Therefore, as shown in Fig. 4, the similar colors of the magnetic powder 4 and the food item 3 are visible through the transparent plate, so the outline of the area where the eating utensils come into contact with the food item 3 becomes unclear, making it look as if the food was being cooked. It looks as if the item has been eaten and gone.

In this invention, a cooking device C is further used. In the illustrated example, the cooker has the shape of an oven, but it could be a frying pan or any other form familiar to young children. In either case, the cooker is equipped with a flat tableware placement surface 8 on which the flat tableware A can be placed. This flat tableware placement surface is made up of a magnet that generates magnetic flux on the top surface, or a magnet 9 is arranged within the flat tableware placement surface. After the food on the flat tableware has been "eaten" (the existence of the food has become unidentifiable due to the magnetic powder), the lid 10 of the cooker is opened and the flat tableware A is placed in the cooker C. When placed, the magnetic powder that has moved above the viscous fluid within each cell of the flat tableware is then attracted downward by the magnetic flux on the flat tableware placement surface and rapidly sinks. As a result, food item 3 is returned to flat tableware A.
The original state shown in FIG. 1 is restored. In other words, a perfectly shaped dish emerges through cooking.

In the above embodiments, eating utensils such as forks and spoons with magnets at the tips are used, but the magnets themselves can also be used, for example, by using bar magnets as chopsticks.

As described above, according to this invention, when a eating utensil made of a magnet or having a magnet is used to simulate eating and drinking on tableware on which food items are displayed, the food items depicted on the display are removed. disappears and changes as if it had been eaten and disappeared.

In addition, if you eat or drink using flat tableware and eating utensils, and after the food drawn on the flat tableware disappears, if you put the flat tableware into the cooking device and perform a cooking operation, the food on the flat tableware will disappear. is reproduced, giving the impression that cooking has taken place. Therefore, the player feels a sense of realism and strong interest in the changes not found in conventional toys of this type, and enjoys cooking and eating. Therefore, it is expected that the rate of repeated use of the toy will be significantly improved and the desire to use the toy will continue for a long period of time.
