Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION <Industrial field of application> The present invention makes it possible to operate a thin sheet formed in an arbitrary shape in an interesting manner by the action of heat and water, and to perform the interesting operation for a relatively long time. About hobby sets that you can enjoy.

<Prior Art> It has been well known that, for example, when sprinkling beetle or the like on warm rice and eating it, an interesting phenomenon occurs such that the beetle curls on the rice.

<Problems to be Solved by the Invention> Therefore, the inventors of the present invention paid attention to the fun of such a phenomenon, and repeatedly conducted various studies on whether or not the phenomenon could be used as a toy-like element.

However, since the above phenomenon is temporary and not persistent, it has few elements to be accepted as a toy.

<Means for Solving the Problems> In view of the above situation, the present inventors provide a hobby set in which the above-described movements can be enjoyed and the movements can be continued for a relatively long time. Further development was carried out for the purpose of doing so. As a result, what generates steam such as hot water is poured into a container having an opening, the opening is covered with a gas-permeable lid, and the flexibility that is changed by the steam formed in an arbitrary shape on the lid is applied. It was found that the above object can be achieved by placing the thin sheet having the above.

The gist of the present invention completed based on the above findings is that the opening 10
This is a hobby set consisting of a container 12 having the above, a lid 14 for covering the opening 10, and a thin sheet 16 having flexibility which varies depending on steam formed into an arbitrary shape.

Hereinafter, the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 1 shows an embodiment of the present invention. FIG. 1 is a thin shape obtained by pouring hot water into a container containing instant food and arbitrarily molding it on a lid covering the opening of the container. FIG. 2 is a perspective view showing a state in which a sheet is placed and the thin sheet is dancing, FIG. 2 is a vertical sectional view taken along the line AA of FIG. 1, and FIG. 3 is one product of the present invention. It is sectional drawing which shows a form.

As shown in FIG. 2, the basic principle of the present invention is to make the thin sheet 16 operate interestingly by bringing a suitable amount of hot air and moisture into contact with the thin sheet 16 through a gas permeable lid 14. Together with this, the interesting action is to last for a relatively long time.

The present invention, which embodies this basic principle, discloses a container 12 having an opening 10, a lid 14 for covering the opening 10, and a thin sheet having flexibility which varies depending on steam formed into an arbitrary shape.
It consists of 16.

The container 12 may be any container capable of injecting hot water capable of generating steam. That is, the container 12
Examples of the material include a plastic having excellent heat resistance and water resistance, a paper material coated with the plastic material, and metals.

Next, as the lid 14 that covers the opening 10 of the container 12,
It must be gas permeable to allow vapor to pass, and specific examples thereof include paper materials such as high-quality paper, sulfuric acid paper, and glassine paper, cloth, cellophane, and the like. Incidentally, a part of the lid 14, for example, only the central portion may be gas permeable. Further, a frame portion having a constant height on the periphery of the lid 14.
By providing 15, the thin sheet 16 can be effectively prevented from falling from the lid 14 even when the thin sheet 16 moves rapidly.

Next, the thin sheet 16 of the present invention must have flexibility that changes depending on steam. Further, as the thin sheet 16, it is preferable that the tissue structure thereof is relatively dense and orderly, that is, one that has hygroscopicity but relatively low hygroscopicity, and the movement of the thin sheet 16 due to the tissue structure is preferable. It becomes more intense and the movement can last for a relatively long time. Examples of the thin sheet material having the above-mentioned structure include sulfuric acid paper, glassine paper, cellophane, and the like,
Examples of other thin sheets include high-quality paper.

In forming the thin sheet 16 into any shape,
For example, by molding the thin sheet 16 into various shapes such as birds, fish, squids, octopuses, reptiles, animals such as fur seals, plants, and other three-dimensional shapes, it is possible to enjoy more interesting movements. it can.

Also, an interesting movement can be enjoyed by changing the thickness of the thin sheet 16. For example, if the thickness is made relatively thick, the operation of the thin sheet becomes slow. Therefore, when the thin sheet 16 is formed into a slow moving object such as a turtle by utilizing this operation, it is possible to enjoy a movement similar to the original turtle.

Also, by applying various patterns or colors to the thin sheet 16, it is possible to enjoy not only the operation of the thin sheet 16 but also the color fun.

Furthermore, by stacking or connecting thin sheets having different properties, it is possible to enjoy unexpected and interesting movements.

Next, as a product form of the present invention, a container 12, a lid 14 and a thin sheet 16 are simply combined, and as shown in FIG. 3, an instant food 18 which can be restored in the container 12 with hot water or the like. A form in which the container 12 and the lid 14 are shrink-wrapped can be exemplified. In the latter case, the thin sheet 16
The storage location of the food is not specified, but on the instant food 18 or lid 14
The above can be exemplified. Furthermore, by adjusting the moving time of the thin sheet 16 to the time when the instant food 18 is completed, it is possible to save the trouble of measuring the rising time with a clock or the like.

<Effect of Device> As described above, the device of the present invention can enjoy the interesting movement of the thin sheet that fluctuates due to steam for a relatively long time. In particular, when sulfuric acid paper, glassine paper or cellophane is used as the thin sheet, the movement is extremely strong and the movement can be maintained for a long time.

In addition, various shapes can be obtained by forming the thin sheet into a shape of animals, plants, etc., constructing it three-dimensionally, adding patterns or colors, or laminating or connecting sheets having different properties. You can enjoy the fun of the movement of the thin sheet that changes.

Further, according to the present invention, since the instant food prepared by pouring hot water into the container can be stored, it is possible to enjoy the time from pouring the hot water to the completion of the instant food. By adjusting the moving time of the strip-shaped sheet to the time required to complete the instant food, there is an advantage that it is possible to save the trouble of measuring the finishing time with a clock or the like.
