Abstract

PURPOSE: To make it possible to three-dimensionally express not only three- dimensional jigsaw puzzles, but jigsaw puzzles, three-dimensional built-up animals, vehicles and other three-dimensional toys which have the touch to hand, soft feel and volumetric feel not possible to express with paper boards. CONSTITUTION: Sheet-like foamed material 2 consisting of synthetic resin foams, such as urethane foams, polyethylene foams and foamed styrol, are used as core materials. Printed paper 3 subjected to printing is affixed to the surfaces of these core materials to form laminated paper. The designs with which the printed paper is printed are blanked, by which necessary blanked pieces 6 are formed.

Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

FIELD OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to a toy sheet.

[0002]

Conventionally, toys for infants (1-6 years old),
Among them, as educational toys, various kinds of picture matching cards, jigsaw-type fitting pictures, simple assembled toys, and the like are provided, and all of these use materials printed on thick paperboard.

Among them, as seen in, for example, Japanese Utility Model Publication No. 4-31120, animals and plants printed on paperboard,
Toddlers can play puzzle-type toys that can be played by punching out patterns such as furniture according to their shapes and fitting the punched pieces according to the shape of the punched traces, or by fitting them up into holes punched in the mount. It is preferred and has the advantage that it can be easily played anywhere as an educational toy.

[0004]

However, since all of the above-mentioned toys have a construction in which the surface of a thick paperboard is printed, the thickness of the paperboard is limited, and the punched pieces are When it comes to fitting in the punching marks, not only does it go into fitting, but it also breaks easily, and we were only able to provide something with a very thin feel. In addition, even when the punched piece is erected on a mount for a three-dimensional fitting picture, it is often impossible to reuse it when the infant pushes it after it is erected and the leg part collapses or the shape of the hole collapses. Furthermore, if the punching piece is made smaller to make it more difficult to break, there is a risk that an infant will put it in the mouth, so it has to be dealt with by making it larger to some extent, which is not suitable as an appendix of picture books. It was.

In view of this, the present invention enables various three-dimensional expressions with a three-dimensional effect, a volume feeling, and a soft feeling that cannot be expressed by a conventional paper printed on a paper board, and is also hard to break and highly safe. It is intended to provide a toy sheet.

[0006]

As a means for solving the problems of the above-mentioned conventional techniques, the present invention uses a sheet-like foam material made of synthetic resin foam such as urethane foam, expanded polyethylene foam, and expanded polystyrene as a core. As a material, a printing paper having a print on its surface is attached to form an interleaving paper, and a pattern printed on the printing paper is punched to form a required punching piece. To do.

[0007]

The function of the sheet is that when the punched piece is held in the hand, it has elasticity and the thickness of the foam material because the pattern and the pattern are printed on the surface of the printing paper with the foam material as the core material. This gives a sense of volume that cannot be obtained with paperboard, and enables three-dimensional expression with punched pieces. In addition, even if it is a fitting picture or jigsaw puzzle, it can be removed with a soft feeling, and even when it is a three-dimensional fitting picture, it can stand in a stable state, its legs do not break, and it can be used for a long time it can.

DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS The present invention will be described below with reference to the embodiments shown in the drawings.

The sheet 1 has, as a core material, a foam material 2 formed in a flat plate shape having a thickness of about 2 to 5 mm as shown in an enlarged cross section in FIG. 3, and printing papers 3, 3 are adhered to the surface thereof. It is made of interleaving paper.

As the material of the foam material 2, foamed urethane foam, foamed polyethylene foam, styrofoam or the like is used, and the printing paper 3 has a cartoon character on one side.
A pattern 4 that can be understood by animals, plants, furniture, and other infants is printed, and an adhesive 5 is applied to the other surface and adhered to the foam material 2. The printing paper 3 may be attached to only one side of the foam material 2 depending on the use of the sheet 1.

1 (A) and 1 (B), the sheet 1 is formed in a rectangular shape, and punched pieces 6, 6 ... Printing cartoon characters are punched by cut lines 7, 7.
The front and back are shown, and the punching pieces 6, 6 ...
It is a fitting toy with a picture-matching style that fits when you scratch it.

In this case, since the punching piece 6 has the foam material 2 as a core material and the printing paper 3 adhered to the surface thereof, it has a soft and soft feeling when held in the hand, and a comfortable feeling for an infant. Can be given. Further, if a projecting piece 8 is provided at the lower end of the punching piece 6 as shown in the figure, it is possible to punch the outer box 9 for accommodating the sheet 1 by perforations or the like as shown in FIG. The protruding piece 8 can be inserted into the formed insertion hole 10 so as to stand up, and in this case, the elasticity of the foam material 2 is also supported stably by the insertion hole 8 due to the elasticity of the punching piece 6. Will not break due to. FIG. 5 shows an example of the standing state.

FIG. 6 shows an assembled box, in which six face plates 11, 11 ... For forming the six sides of the box are produced from a sheet of the printing paper 3 on which cartoon characters and the like are printed. , 11 so that they are fitted to each other at their respective edges.
2 and the concave portion 13 are alternately formed, and the boxes are assembled by fitting them.

In this case, an assembling box puzzle can be made by fitting the positions and the widths of the convex portion 12 and the concave portion 13 in only one combination. In addition, the patterns displayed on the face plates 11, 11 ... Can be assembled by matching them.

FIG. 7 shows an example in which a robot is assembled as a three-dimensional toy, but it can also be applied to vehicles such as trains, automobiles and airplanes.

[0016]

As described above, according to the present invention, a foaming material such as urethane foam is used as a core material and printing paper is attached to the surface thereof, and the pattern or pattern printed on the printing paper is punched out. It can be used to express the shapes of cartoon characters, animals, vehicles, etc., and can also be used as a picture puzzle, a jigsaw puzzle, a three-dimensional assembly puzzle, etc., in which the punched pieces are punched, and at that time the sheet has elasticity. It gives a soft feeling, and since the printing is done on the printing paper on the front side, it is possible to perform clear printing expression as with ordinary paper, and freely print and display the contents preferred by the infant.

Also, even if the punching piece is made small, it has a volume feeling due to the foam material, so it is safe for infants to put in their mouth, and even if it is a three-dimensional fitting picture, the leg does not break and it is used for a long time. It becomes possible to do.
