BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a toy, and more particularly to a toy designed to exert its effect when an infant recognizes and grasps the shape or number of an object.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, various toys for infants have been proposed. Among them are, for example, "fitting toys" and "puzzles", which are devised to provide enjoyment to young children and improve their intelligence. The fitting toy includes a box in which a plurality of openings having a predetermined shape are formed, while a block-shaped piece having a shape matching the openings. An infant holds the piece and fits it into the corresponding opening, so that the piece falls and is housed in the box. By playing such a game, it enhances the intelligence through recognition and grasp of the shape.

Further, in the puzzle, a plurality of concave portions having a predetermined shape are formed on one substrate, and a plurality of pieces having a shape matching the concave portion are prepared. The infant fits the piece into the corresponding recess and forms a predetermined shape as a whole. Even in this case, playing such a game enhances the intelligence through recognition and grasp of the shape.

[0004]

According to the above-mentioned conventional structure, although a certain degree of effect can be exerted in giving fun to the infant, it is not possible to expect so much effect in enhancing the intelligence. There was a problem. This is because the shape of a part held by an infant (for example, an arbitrary one piece for a fitting toy, an arbitrary one piece constituting a puzzle for it) is fixed, and where The reason for this is that it fits naturally if you play properly.

The present invention has been made on the basis of such a point, and the purpose thereof is to provide a sense of play and to improve the intelligence and dexterity without impairing it. It is to provide a toy that demonstrates.

[0006]

In order to achieve the above object, a toy according to the present invention has a plate body having a continuous one-stroke writing groove of an arbitrary shape, and is just fitted along the groove of the plate body. And a cord body adjusted to have such a length that the shape embodied in the groove is recognized and grasped by fitting the cord body into the groove. It is a thing. At that time, it is conceivable to provide a pair of different marks at both ends of the groove and a pair of different marks corresponding to the pair of marks at both ends of the cord body. Further, it is conceivable that the groove at the position where the pair of marks is provided is locally recessed so that the end portion of the fitted cord body can be easily taken. It is also possible to provide a plurality of grooves of different shapes on the plate body. Further, it is conceivable to attach a hook for hanging as a decorative article to the plate body, or to attach a supporting member so as to have a photo stand shape.

[0007]

That is, the toy according to the present invention basically provides a play in which a string of a predetermined length is fitted in the groove formed in the plate. At that time, since the string body is flexible, it is difficult to handle, and in that sense, it becomes more difficult to play, and exerts a great effect in achieving "dexterity" and "improvement of intelligence". If a pair of different marks are provided at both ends of the groove, and a pair of different marks corresponding to the above pair of marks are provided at both ends of the cord, one of the difficulties as play is considered. It will provide the "help" of. Further, when a plurality of grooves having different shapes are provided on the plate body, it is possible to perform a variety of jumping play with one plate body. Further, when the groove at the position where the pair of marks is provided is locally depressed, it becomes easy to take the end portion of the fitted cord body. Further, when a hook for hanging as a decorative item on the plate or a supporting member for making a photo stand shape is attached, it can be used as a decorative item as well as a simple toy.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS A first embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to FIGS.
An example will be described. First, there is a plate body 1 as shown in FIG. 1, and a continuous groove 3 (one-stroked groove) having a predetermined shape is formed on the upper surface of the plate body 1. In the case of this embodiment, the groove 3 has a triangular shape. Different marks 5a and 5b are displayed on both ends of the groove. This mark 5a, 5
As b, for example, different colors are used to distinguish. In this embodiment, the mark 5a is shown in red and the mark 5b is shown in blue. Further, the plate 1 is preferably made of wood, and specifically, cherry blossoms, keyaki and the like can be considered. The material of the plate body 1 is not limited to wood, but may be plastics, paper, or the like.
Moreover, the surface of the plate body 1 is finished smoothly, while
The groove 3 has a relatively rough finish. this is,
This is to prevent the cord from being unintentionally pulled out, which will be described later.

On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 2, a cord 7 having a predetermined length is prepared, and at both ends of the cord 7, mark 9a, 9b of a color corresponding to the mark 5a, 5b is provided. Is provided. That is, the mark 9a is red and the mark 9b is blue. It should be noted that the marks 9a and 9b may be formed by attaching a tape of a predetermined color, for example. Although the material of the cord 7 is not particularly limited, the cord 7 made of cotton is used in this embodiment. The outer diameter of the cord body 7 is set to be approximately the same as the inner diameter of the groove 3 of the plate body 1, and at least when the cord body 7 is fitted into the groove 3, it is not easily removed. To do.

Based on the above configuration, how to play the toy will be described. For example, an infant holds the string 7 and holds the groove 3 of the plate 1.
Try to fit it inside. At that time, the marks 5a and 5b on the plate body 1 side are compared with the marks 7a and 7b on the string body 7 side, and the mark 9a is fitted in the same color, that is, the mark 9a is fitted on the mark 5a side. Fit in. After that, since the positions of both ends of the cord 7 are determined, the portion between them is fitted into the groove 3. As a result, the state shown in FIG. 3 is obtained. It should be noted that, even if the mark is not used, it may be performed as long as it can be fitted.

According to this embodiment, the following effects can be obtained. First, as compared with the conventional toys of the same kind, it is possible to exert a more excellent effect in enhancing the intelligence of the infant. This is because the part handled by the infant is the flexible cord body 7, and its shape is not specified. Since the shape is not specified, the degree of play becomes a little difficult, which further stimulates the brain of the infant. Further, the work of fitting the cord body 7 into the groove 3 requires "dexterity", and this "dexterity" is also strengthened. On the other hand, since the corresponding marks 5a, 5b, 9a, 9b are respectively displayed on the plate body 1 and the cord body 7, the cord body 7 can be fitted into the groove 3 by using them as clues. In this way, by making it difficult on the one hand and devising to supplement it on the other hand, as described above, not only it is more effective in improving the intelligence of the infant, but it is too difficult for the infant. It can provide excellent effects without turning your eyes away.

Next, a third embodiment will be described with reference to FIG. In this case, the shape of the groove is circular, and the configuration is the same as in the first and second embodiments. Therefore, it is possible to obtain the same effect as that of the first and second embodiments.

Next, a fourth embodiment will be described with reference to FIG. In the case of this embodiment, a plurality of grooves 3 are formed on the upper surface of one plate 1. Even in this case, if the length of each groove 3 is the same, it is possible to play with one string 7. If the length of the groove 3 is changed and a plurality of cords 7 having a length corresponding to the groove 3 are prepared, the interest can be further increased. Incidentally, the groove 3 shown in FIG. 6 means a triangle, a quadrangle, a circle, and a Christmas tree.

Next, a fifth embodiment will be explained with reference to FIG. In the case of this embodiment, a hook 21 for hanging is attached to the upper side of the plate 1. That is, it is intended to be used not only as a toy but also as an ornament. In that case, it is optional whether the string 7 is fitted or the plate 1 alone is displayed.

Next, a sixth embodiment will be described with reference to FIG. Also in this case, as in the case of the fifth embodiment, it is intended to be used not only as a toy but also as an ornament. In this case, the support member 23 is provided on the back side of the plate body 1 so as to be used in a state like a photo stand.
Is mounted so that it can be folded.

Next, a seventh embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS. 9 and 10. In this case, the retaining mark 5 of the groove 3 of the plate body 1
A concave portion 25 that is locally depressed is formed at the end portion on the a, 5b side. As shown in FIG. 10, the recess 25 is formed in a hemispherical shape. By forming such a concave portion 25, the end portion of the cord body 7 once fitted can be removed to reduce the cost. Therefore, even when the infant is once fitted and removes the cord body 7, if the tip of the finger is put in the recess 25 so that the end portion of the cord body 7 is lifted from the lower side, the cord body 7 is removed. It can be easily removed.

The present invention is not limited to the above-mentioned one embodiment. For example, various shapes of the groove can be considered other than those shown in the above-mentioned embodiments. In that case, it is necessary that the shape is one stroke because of the use of one string. Further, how many grooves are formed on the plate body is arbitrary.
Further, the method of forming the mark is also arbitrary.

[0019]

As described above in detail, according to the toy of the present invention, it is possible to provide a play in which a string of a predetermined length is fitted in the groove formed in the plate, and the string is Since it has flexibility, it is difficult to handle, and in that sense, it becomes more difficult to play, and it is possible to exert a great effect in achieving "dexterity" and "improvement of intelligence". If a pair of different marks are provided at both ends of the groove, and a pair of different marks corresponding to the above pair of marks are provided at both ends of the cord, one of the difficulties as play is considered. It will provide the "help" of. Further, when a plurality of grooves having different shapes are provided on the plate body, it is possible to perform a variety of loosely fitting play with the plate body.
Also, it can be used as a decorative article by attaching a hook or a supporting member. Further, by providing the groove with a locally recessed portion, the work of removing the fitted cord body can be facilitated.
