Description

本発明は、少なくとも一面に嵌合突起が突設され、他の少なくとも一面に嵌合孔が形成された多面体遊具であって、嵌合突起を嵌合孔に嵌合連結させて、複数の多面体遊具を相互に係着させることで、積み木のように、所望の立体形状をした構造物を構築することのできる遊具に関する。   The present invention relates to a polyhedron play equipment in which a fitting projection protrudes from at least one surface and a fitting hole is formed in at least one other surface, and the fitting projection is fitted and connected to the fitting hole, thereby providing a plurality of polyhedrons. The present invention relates to a playground equipment that can construct a structure having a desired three-dimensional shape like a building block by engaging playground equipment with each other.

従来、上述した多面体遊具の一例として、第一ブロック素子、第二ブロック素子及び第三ブロック素子の三つのブロック素子からなる組立ブロックセットが知られている(特開平5−277262号公報参照)。   Conventionally, as an example of the above-described polyhedral playground equipment, an assembly block set including three block elements, a first block element, a second block element, and a third block element, is known (see Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 5-277262).

第一ブロック素子及び第二ブロック素子は同一寸法の立方体形状を有し、第一ブロック素子は、その3面にそれぞれ同一寸法の円柱状突起が形成されるとともに、連続する2面が平坦面に形成され、残りの1面には各突起に対応する角穴が形成されている。   The first block element and the second block element have a cubic shape with the same dimensions, and the first block element has cylindrical projections of the same dimension formed on three surfaces thereof, and two continuous surfaces are flat surfaces. A square hole corresponding to each protrusion is formed on the remaining one surface.

また、第二ブロック素子は、その1面に第一ブロック素子と同一寸法の円柱状突起が形成され、2面に各突起に対応する丸穴が形成されるとともに、連続する2面が平坦面に形成され、残りの1面には各突起に対応する角穴が形成されている。   Further, the second block element has a cylindrical projection having the same dimensions as the first block element on one surface, round holes corresponding to the respective projections are formed on two surfaces, and two continuous surfaces are flat surfaces. A square hole corresponding to each protrusion is formed on the remaining one surface.

また、第三ブロック素子は、六面体形状を有し、その連続する2面が第1及び第2ブロック素子と同寸法の正方形に形成され、この2面のうち一方には前記各突起と同一寸法の円柱状突起が形成されるとともに、他方には前記各突起に対応する角穴が形成され、更に、この2面に連続する2面が相互に平行に形成され、残りの2面がそれぞれ前記正方形をした2面と直交するように形成されている。   The third block element has a hexahedron shape, and two continuous surfaces thereof are formed in a square having the same dimensions as the first and second block elements, and one of the two surfaces has the same dimensions as the projections. Are formed on the other side, square holes corresponding to the respective projections are formed on the other side, two continuous surfaces are formed in parallel with each other, and the remaining two surfaces are respectively It is formed so as to be orthogonal to two square surfaces.

斯くして、この組立ブロックセットでは、各ブロック素子の突起が全て同一寸法であり、各ブロック素子の角穴及び第二ブロック素子の丸穴はそれぞれ前記突起に対応しているので、各ブロック素子の突起を他のブロック素子の角穴若しくは丸穴に嵌合させることにより、ブロック素子を相互に自由に連結させることができ、このように3種類のブロック素子を相互に連結させることで、所望の平面形状又は立体形状を自由自在に構成することができる。   Thus, in this assembly block set, all the projections of each block element have the same dimensions, and the square holes of each block element and the round holes of the second block element respectively correspond to the projections. The block elements can be freely connected to each other by fitting the projections in the square holes or round holes of the other block elements. Thus, by connecting the three types of block elements to each other, the desired The planar shape or three-dimensional shape can be freely configured.

尚、各ブロック素子の連結状態を良好に維持するためには、着脱の繰り返しによる前記突起部及び穴部の摩耗を抑制する必要があり、このため、前記ブロック素子の素材としては、従来、硬質のプラスチックが使用されている。   In order to maintain the connected state of each block element satisfactorily, it is necessary to suppress the wear of the protrusion and the hole due to repeated attachment and detachment. Plastics are used.

特開平5−277262号公報JP-A-5-277262

ところで、上述した多面体遊具は、従来、主として幼児などの若年層に向けて提供され、船,自動車やビルといった構造物の縮小模型として組み立てられることが多く、その組立体としての大きさは手に持って遊べる程度のものが殆どで、単体としての大きさもごく小さいものであった。   By the way, the polyhedron play equipment described above is conventionally provided mainly for young people such as infants, and is often assembled as a reduced model of a structure such as a ship, an automobile or a building, and the size of the assembly is in hand. Most of them were playable, and the size as a single unit was very small.

しかしながら、遊戯者としての幼児にとっては、上記多面体遊具を用いた組立体は、必ずしも手で持ち遊べる大きさである必要はなく、むしろ、実物大より若干小さいものや、逆に大きいものであれば、より現実味のある想像力が惹起され、これを用いた遊戯がより興味深いものとなる。   However, for an infant as a player, an assembly using the above polyhedral playground equipment does not necessarily have a size that can be carried by hand, but rather if it is slightly smaller than the actual size or vice versa. , More realistic imagination is evoked, and playing with it becomes more interesting.

例えば、上記多面体遊具を用い、遊戯者が内部に入ることができる大きさの家や、乗り込み可能な船や自動車などを構築できれば、遊戯者は、遊具を用いて組立体を構築するという面白さと、組み立てた家に出入りしたり、船や自動車に乗り込むことができるという実体感を併せ持った面白さを味わうことができる。   For example, if the above-mentioned polyhedral playground equipment is used to construct a house of a size that allows a player to enter inside, a ship or a car that can be boarded, the player can construct an assembly using the playground equipment. , You can enjoy the fun and realism that you can go in and out of the assembled house or get into a ship or car.

この場合、飽き易い幼児にとって、組立遊戯に対する興味が損なわれないように、組立作業を煩わしくないものとする必要があり、そのためには、多面体遊具の単体をそれ相応に大きいものとする必要があるが、このように大きくした場合、従来のように硬質プラスチックを用いたのでは、その重量が重くなって、取り扱いが不便となり、また、角部で怪我をし易いという問題を生じる。   In this case, it is necessary for an infant who is bored to make the assembly work not bothersome so that the interest in the assembly game is not impaired. To that end, the polyhedral playground equipment needs to be made correspondingly large. However, in the case of using such a large size, if a hard plastic is used as in the prior art, the weight becomes heavy, the handling becomes inconvenient, and the corners are easily injured.

そこで、かかる問題を解消する手立てとして、前記多面体遊具を弾性体から構成することが考えられるが、上記突起部及び穴部による従来の嵌合連結構造では、当該突起部及び穴部が弾性変形するため、その連結状態が不安定となり、このため、連結が外れ易く、組立体の連結状態を維持し難いという問題を、逆に生じることになる。   Thus, as a means for solving such a problem, it is conceivable that the polyhedron play equipment is made of an elastic body. However, in the conventional fitting and connecting structure using the protrusion and the hole, the protrusion and the hole are elastically deformed. Therefore, the connection state becomes unstable, and therefore, the problem that the connection is easily released and it is difficult to maintain the connection state of the assembly is caused conversely.

また、取扱勝手の面からして、多面体遊具単体の重量を軽減する必要もある。   In addition, it is necessary to reduce the weight of the polyhedral playground equipment from the viewpoint of handling ease.

本発明は、以上述べた従来の実情に鑑みなされたもので、実体感の合わさった面白さを味わうことができ、しかも、軽量で怪我のし難い多面体遊具の提供をその目的とする。   The present invention has been made in view of the above-described conventional situation, and an object thereof is to provide a polyhedral playground equipment that can be enjoyed with a sense of substance and that is lightweight and hardly injured.

上記課題を解決するための本発明は、弾性を有し、少なくとも一面に嵌合突起が突設され、他の少なくとも一面に嵌合孔が形成された多面体であって、
前記嵌合突起及び嵌合孔は、相互に嵌合連結可能な形状を有し、
更に、前記嵌合突起は、突出先端部と基面との間に縮径された括れ部を有し、
前記嵌合孔は、開口部が内部に比べて縮径されてなることを特徴とする多面体遊具に係る。
The present invention for solving the above-mentioned problems is a polyhedron having elasticity, having a fitting protrusion protruding on at least one surface, and having a fitting hole formed on at least one other surface,
The fitting protrusion and the fitting hole have shapes that can be fitted and connected to each other,
Furthermore, the fitting projection has a constricted portion with a reduced diameter between the projecting tip portion and the base surface,
The fitting hole relates to a polyhedron play equipment characterized in that an opening is reduced in diameter compared to the inside.

上記構成を備えた本発明の多面体遊具では、一の多面体遊具の嵌合突起を、他の多面体遊具の嵌合孔に嵌合することで、両多面体遊具が連結され、同様にして複数の多面体遊具を嵌合連結することで、所望の立体形状を有する構造物を構築することができる。   In the polyhedron play equipment of the present invention having the above-described configuration, the polyhedron play tool is connected by fitting the fitting protrusion of one polyhedron play tool into the fitting hole of the other polyhedron play tool, and a plurality of polyhedrons similarly. A structure having a desired three-dimensional shape can be constructed by fitting and connecting the play equipment.

前記嵌合突起と嵌合孔との嵌合は、嵌合突起が嵌合孔内に挿入される際に、嵌合突起の前記括れ部より先端の大径部が弾性収縮変形するとともに、嵌合孔の前記開口部が弾性変形(拡大変形を含む)することにより、嵌合突起が嵌合孔に挿入される。   When the fitting protrusion is inserted into the fitting hole, the large diameter portion at the tip of the fitting protrusion is elastically contracted and deformed when the fitting protrusion is inserted into the fitting hole. When the opening of the joint hole is elastically deformed (including expansion deformation), the fitting protrusion is inserted into the fitting hole.

このようにして嵌合突起が嵌合孔に挿入されると、嵌合突起の大径部及び嵌合孔の開口部は、変形状態から元の状態に復し、同嵌合孔の開口部が嵌合突起の括れ部に係合した状態となる。そして、このように開口部と括れ部が係合することで、嵌合突起が嵌合孔から抜け難くなり、組み付けた多面体遊具間の連結状態が良好に維持され、多面体遊具を弾性体から構成しても、構築した構造物の立体形状を良好に維持することができる。   When the fitting protrusion is thus inserted into the fitting hole, the large-diameter portion of the fitting protrusion and the opening of the fitting hole are restored from the deformed state to the original state, and the opening of the fitting hole is restored. Is engaged with the constricted portion of the fitting protrusion. And, since the opening portion and the constricted portion are engaged in this way, the fitting protrusion is difficult to be removed from the fitting hole, and the connected state between the assembled polyhedral playground equipment is well maintained, and the polyhedral playground equipment is made of an elastic body. Even so, the three-dimensional shape of the constructed structure can be maintained well.

また、多面体遊具を弾性体から構成しているので、これを相応に大きなものとしても、遊戯者が怪我をすることはなく、実物大より若干小さい構造物や、逆に大きい構造物などを構築することができ、より現実味のある実体感を併せ持ったより興味深い遊戯を行なわせることができる。   In addition, since the polyhedron play equipment is made of an elastic body, even if this is made relatively large, the player will not be injured, and a structure that is slightly smaller than the actual size or vice versa will be constructed. It is possible to play more interesting games with more realistic substance.

尚、前記多面体は、スポンジに代表されるような、弾性を有する多孔質体から構成されていても良い。このようにすれば、多面体遊具の大きさを大きくしてもその重量を抑えることができ、幼児などが容易に取り扱うことができる。   The polyhedron may be made of a porous body having elasticity such as a sponge. In this way, even if the size of the polyhedron play equipment is increased, its weight can be suppressed, and an infant or the like can easily handle it.

また、前記嵌合突起又は嵌合孔の表面が硬質皮膜で被覆されていても良い。このようにすれば、嵌合関係にある嵌合突起又は嵌合孔が、硬質皮膜によって弾性変形しなくなるので、嵌合突起が嵌合孔からより抜け難くなり、構築した構造物の立体形状をより良好に維持することができる。   The surface of the fitting protrusion or the fitting hole may be covered with a hard film. In this way, the fitting protrusions or fitting holes in the fitting relationship are not elastically deformed by the hard film, so that the fitting protrusions are more difficult to be removed from the fitting holes, and the three-dimensional shape of the constructed structure is reduced. It can be maintained better.

また、前記嵌合突起及び嵌合孔は、嵌合連結時に、該嵌合突起の括れ部側外周面及び嵌合孔の開口部側内周面の少なくとも一部分が互いに係合するように構成され、前記嵌合突起の括れ部側外周面は、その外径が括れ部側から先端部側にかけて連続的に大きくなるように形成される一方、前記嵌合孔の開口部側内周面は、その内径が開口部側から底部側にかけて連続的に大きくなるように形成されるとともに、前記嵌合突起の括れ部側外周面と係合する部分の内径が該括れ部側外周面の外径よりも小径に形成されていても良い。   The fitting protrusion and the fitting hole are configured such that at the time of fitting connection, at least a part of the constricted portion side outer peripheral surface of the fitting protrusion and the opening portion inner peripheral surface of the fitting hole are engaged with each other. The constricted portion side outer peripheral surface of the fitting protrusion is formed so that the outer diameter thereof continuously increases from the constricted portion side to the tip end side, while the opening portion inner peripheral surface of the fitting hole is The inner diameter is formed so as to be continuously increased from the opening side to the bottom side, and the inner diameter of the portion engaging the constricted portion side outer peripheral surface of the fitting protrusion is larger than the outer diameter of the constricted portion side outer peripheral surface. May also be formed in a small diameter.

このようにすれば、嵌合突起が嵌合孔に挿入される際には、嵌合突起の括れ部側外周面よりも嵌合孔の開口部の方が小径であることから、当該括れ部側外周面と開口部とが当接し、嵌合突起及び嵌合孔の弾性力によって嵌合突起が嵌合孔内に引き込まれ、多面体遊具をより容易且つより確実に嵌合連結させることができる。また、嵌合突起が嵌合孔内に挿入された後においては、嵌合突起の括れ部側外周面と嵌合孔の開口部側内周面とが係合し、嵌合突起及び嵌合孔の弾性力によって嵌合突起を嵌合孔内に引き込む力を生じることから、嵌合突起が嵌合孔から抜けるのをより確実に防止することができ、多くの多面体遊具を組み付けても、これが崩れるのを防止することができる。   In this way, when the fitting protrusion is inserted into the fitting hole, the opening portion of the fitting hole has a smaller diameter than the outer peripheral surface of the fitting protrusion on the constriction portion side. The side outer peripheral surface is in contact with the opening, and the fitting protrusion is drawn into the fitting hole by the elastic force of the fitting protrusion and the fitting hole, so that the polyhedron play equipment can be fitted and connected more easily and reliably. . In addition, after the fitting projection is inserted into the fitting hole, the constricted portion side outer peripheral surface of the fitting projection and the opening portion inner peripheral surface of the fitting hole are engaged, and the fitting projection and the fitting are engaged. Since the force of pulling the fitting protrusion into the fitting hole is generated by the elastic force of the hole, the fitting protrusion can be more reliably prevented from coming out of the fitting hole, and even if many polyhedral playground equipments are assembled, This can be prevented from collapsing.

また、前記嵌合突起の括れ部は、該嵌合突起の前記基面との付根に形成されていても良い。このようにすれば、嵌合突起が嵌合孔内に完全に収まり、嵌合突起が設けられた表面と嵌合孔が設けられた表面とが当接した状態で、嵌合突起の括れ部と嵌合孔の開口部とが係合するので、がたつきなどのない安定した嵌合連結状態とすることができる。   Moreover, the constriction part of the said fitting protrusion may be formed in the root with the said base surface of this fitting protrusion. In this way, the constriction portion of the fitting protrusion is fitted in the state where the fitting protrusion is completely contained in the fitting hole, and the surface provided with the fitting protrusion is in contact with the surface provided with the fitting hole. And the opening of the fitting hole engage with each other, so that a stable fitting connection state with no rattling can be achieved.

以上述べたように、本発明の多面体遊具によれば、これを弾性体から構成しているので、相応に大きなものとしても、遊戯者が怪我をすることはなく、実物大より若干小さい構造物や、逆に大きい構造物などを構築することができ、より現実味のある実体感を併せ持ったより興味深い遊戯を行なわせることができる。   As described above, according to the polyhedron play equipment of the present invention, since it is made of an elastic body, even if it is correspondingly large, the player will not be injured and a structure slightly smaller than the actual size. On the other hand, large structures can be constructed, and more interesting games with more realistic realism can be performed.

また、嵌合突起の突出先端部と基面との間に括れ部を形成するとともに、嵌合孔の開口部を内部に比べて縮径した形状としているので、嵌合突起が嵌合孔に挿入された際に、嵌合孔の開口部が嵌合突起の括れ部に係合した状態となり、これにより、嵌合突起が嵌合孔から抜け難くなって、組み付けた多面体遊具間の連結状態が良好に維持され、構築した構造物の立体形状を良好に維持することができる。   In addition, a constriction is formed between the protruding tip of the fitting protrusion and the base surface, and the opening of the fitting hole has a smaller diameter than the inside, so that the fitting protrusion becomes a fitting hole. When inserted, the opening of the fitting hole is engaged with the constricted portion of the fitting projection, which makes it difficult for the fitting projection to come out of the fitting hole, and the connection between the assembled polyhedral playground equipments Is maintained well, and the three-dimensional shape of the constructed structure can be maintained well.

また、当該多面体遊具を弾性多孔質体から構成すれば、その重量を抑えて、幼児などが容易に取り扱うことができ、嵌合突起又は嵌合孔の表面を硬質皮膜で被覆すれば、嵌合突起が嵌合孔からより抜け難くなり、構築した構造物の立体形状をより良好に維持することができる。   In addition, if the polyhedron play equipment is made of an elastic porous body, it can be easily handled by infants, etc. with its weight reduced, and if the surface of the fitting protrusion or fitting hole is covered with a hard film, the fitting The protrusions are less likely to come out of the fitting holes, and the three-dimensional shape of the constructed structure can be maintained better.

また、嵌合連結時に嵌合突起の括れ部側外周面及び嵌合孔の開口部側内周面の少なくとも一部分が互いに係合するように構成し、嵌合突起の括れ部側外周面を先端部側の方がより大径となるように形成する一方、嵌合孔の開口部側内周面を底部側の方がより大径となるように形成するとともに、前記括れ部側外周面と係合する部分の内径を当該括れ部側外周面の外径よりも小径に形成すれば、嵌合突起の嵌合孔挿入時には、嵌合突起の括れ部側外周面と嵌合孔の開口部との係合関係により嵌合突起を嵌合孔内に引き込ませて、多面体遊具をより容易且つより確実に嵌合連結させることができ、嵌合突起が嵌合孔内に収まった後は、嵌合突起の括れ部側外周面と嵌合孔の開口部側内周面との係合関係によって生じる引き込み力により、嵌合突起が嵌合孔から抜けるのをより確実に防止し、多くの多面体遊具を組み付けても、これが崩れるのを防止することができる。   Further, at the time of fitting connection, at least a part of the constricted portion side outer peripheral surface of the fitting projection and the opening portion inner peripheral surface of the fitting hole are engaged with each other, and the constricted portion side outer peripheral surface of the fitting projection is at the tip While the part side is formed to have a larger diameter, the opening side inner peripheral surface of the fitting hole is formed to have a larger diameter on the bottom side, and the constricted part side outer peripheral surface and If the inner diameter of the engaging part is formed to be smaller than the outer diameter of the outer peripheral surface of the constricted part side, when the fitting hole of the fitting protrusion is inserted, the constricted part side outer peripheral surface of the fitting protrusion and the opening part of the fitting hole By engaging the fitting projection into the fitting hole due to the engagement relationship, the polyhedral playground equipment can be connected more easily and more reliably, and after the fitting projection is received in the fitting hole, The fitting protrusion is caused by the pulling force generated by the engagement relation between the outer peripheral surface of the constricted portion of the fitting protrusion and the inner peripheral surface of the opening portion of the fitting hole. More reliably prevented from coming off the fitting hole, even by assembling many polyhedral toys, it is possible to prevent this from collapsing.

また、嵌合突起の括れ部を嵌合突起の付根に形成すれば、嵌合突起の括れ部と嵌合孔の開口部との係合によって、嵌合突起が嵌合孔内に完全に収まり、嵌合突起が設けられた表面と嵌合孔が設けられた表面とが当接した状態となるので、多面体遊具の嵌合連結状態をがたつきなどのない安定したものとすることができる。   Further, if the constriction part of the fitting protrusion is formed at the base of the fitting protrusion, the fitting protrusion completely fits in the fitting hole due to the engagement between the constriction part of the fitting protrusion and the opening part of the fitting hole. Since the surface provided with the fitting protrusion and the surface provided with the fitting hole are in contact with each other, the fitting connection state of the polyhedron play equipment can be stable without rattling. .

It is a perspective view which shows the state which connected two or more of the polyhedron playground equipment concerning this.

図1及び図2に示すように、本例の多面体遊具1は、弾性を有する例えばポリウレタンスポンジから構成され、その形状は立方体形状をなし、その連続する3面には、各面についてそれぞれ4つの球状の嵌合突起3が突設され、残りの連続する3面には、同じく各面についてそれぞれ4つの嵌合孔7が形成されている。   As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the polyhedron play equipment 1 of this example is made of, for example, polyurethane sponge having elasticity, the shape thereof is a cubic shape, and there are four continuous faces on each of the three faces. Spherical fitting protrusions 3 are provided so that four fitting holes 7 are formed on each of the remaining three surfaces.

前記嵌合突起3は、球状に形成され、その突出先端部4と立方体表面(基面)2との間である、当該嵌合突起3の付根部には、縮径された括れ部5が形成されている。前記嵌合孔7は、前記嵌合突起3がしっくり収まるように、凹球面に形成され、開口部8が内部に比べて縮径された形状を備える。   The fitting protrusion 3 is formed in a spherical shape, and a constricted portion 5 having a reduced diameter is formed at the root of the fitting protrusion 3 between the protruding tip 4 and the cube surface (base surface) 2. Is formed. The fitting hole 7 is formed in a concave spherical surface so that the fitting protrusion 3 can be fit into the fitting hole 7 and has a shape in which the opening 8 is reduced in diameter compared to the inside.

また、図3に示すように、嵌合突起3が嵌合孔7内に収まると、嵌合突起3の括れ部5と嵌合孔7の開口部8とが係合するとともに、嵌合突起3の括れ部5側の外周面6と嵌合孔7の開口部8側の内周面9とが係合するようになっており、嵌合突起3の括れ部側外周面6は、その外径が括れ部5側から先端部4側にかけて連続的に(滑らかに)大きくなるように形成される一方、嵌合孔7の開口部側内周面9は、その内径が開口部8側から底部側にかけて連続的に(滑らかに)大きくなるように形成されるとともに、嵌合突起3の括れ部側外周面6と係合する部分の内径が当該括れ部側外周面6の外径よりも小径に形成されている。   As shown in FIG. 3, when the fitting protrusion 3 is received in the fitting hole 7, the constricted portion 5 of the fitting protrusion 3 and the opening 8 of the fitting hole 7 are engaged, and the fitting protrusion 3 is engaged. 3 on the side of the constricted portion 5 and the inner peripheral surface 9 on the side of the opening 8 of the fitting hole 7 are engaged with each other. While the outer diameter is formed so as to increase continuously (smoothly) from the constricted portion 5 side to the distal end portion 4 side, the inner peripheral surface 9 of the opening portion side of the fitting hole 7 has an inner diameter of the opening portion 8 side. The inner diameter of the portion of the fitting protrusion 3 that engages with the constricted portion side outer peripheral surface 6 is larger than the outer diameter of the constricted portion side outer peripheral surface 6. Is also formed in a small diameter.

また、嵌合突起3及び嵌合孔7は、図4に示すように、それぞれが設けられる立方体表面において、その2個を1列としてこれが2列に配置されるとともに、各列における中心位置の間隔と、列間の間隔とが同じ間隔(2×a)となるように配置されており、また、それぞれ接近する側の2つの端辺からの中心位置までの距離が同じ距離(a)となるように配置されている。   Further, as shown in FIG. 4, the fitting protrusions 3 and the fitting holes 7 are arranged in two rows on the surface of the cube on which the fitting projections 3 and the fitting holes 7 are provided. The distance and the distance between the columns are the same distance (2 × a), and the distance from the two close sides to the center position is the same distance (a). It is arranged to be.

斯くして、以上の構成を備えた本例の多面体遊具1では、一の多面体遊具1の嵌合突起3を、他の多面体遊具1の嵌合孔7に嵌合することで、両多面体遊具1が連結され、同様にして複数の多面体遊具1を嵌合連結することで、所望の立体形状を有する構造物を構築することができる。   Thus, in the polyhedron play equipment 1 of the present example having the above-described configuration, the fitting protrusion 3 of one polyhedron play tool 1 is fitted into the fitting hole 7 of the other polyhedron play tool 1, so that both polyhedron play equipment 1 is connected and a plurality of polyhedral playground equipments 1 are connected and connected in the same manner, whereby a structure having a desired three-dimensional shape can be constructed.

そして、当該多面体遊具1を適当な大きさにすれば、例えば、遊戯者が内部に入ることができる大きさの家や、乗り込み可能な船や自動車などを構築することができる。   If the polyhedron play equipment 1 is appropriately sized, for example, it is possible to construct a house of a size that allows a player to enter the inside, a ship or a car that can be boarded.

尚、図5に、連結数は少ないものの、連結状態の一例として、3つの多面体遊具1を連結した状態を示す。   FIG. 5 shows a state where three polyhedral playground equipments 1 are connected as an example of a connected state although the number of connections is small.

ところで、前記嵌合突起3と嵌合孔7との嵌合は、当該多面体遊具1が弾性を有するウレタンスポンジから構成されていることから、嵌合突起3が嵌合孔7内に挿入される際に、嵌合突起3の前記括れ部5より先端の大径部が弾性収縮変形するとともに、嵌合孔7の前記開口部8が弾性変形(拡大変形を含む)し、これによって、嵌合突起3が嵌合孔7に挿入される。   By the way, the fitting projection 3 is inserted into the fitting hole 7 since the fitting of the fitting projection 3 and the fitting hole 7 is made of urethane sponge having elasticity. At this time, the large-diameter portion at the tip of the constricted portion 5 of the fitting projection 3 is elastically deformed and deformed, and the opening 8 of the fitting hole 7 is elastically deformed (including expansion deformation), thereby fitting. The protrusion 3 is inserted into the fitting hole 7.

このようにして嵌合突起3が嵌合孔7に挿入されると、嵌合突起3の大径部及び嵌合孔7の開口部8は、変形状態から元の状態に復するとともに、嵌合突起3が嵌合孔7内に完全に収まって、嵌合突起3が設けられた表面と嵌合孔7が設けられた表面とが当接し、嵌合孔7の開口部8と嵌合突起3の括れ部5とが、嵌合突起3の括れ部側外周面6と嵌合孔7の開口部側内周面9とが係合した状態となる。   When the fitting protrusion 3 is inserted into the fitting hole 7 in this way, the large diameter portion of the fitting protrusion 3 and the opening 8 of the fitting hole 7 are restored from the deformed state to the original state, and the fitting protrusion 3 is fitted. The mating protrusion 3 is completely accommodated in the fitting hole 7, and the surface on which the fitting protrusion 3 is provided and the surface on which the fitting hole 7 is provided come into contact with the opening 8 of the fitting hole 7. The constricted portion 5 of the protrusion 3 is in a state where the constricted portion-side outer peripheral surface 6 of the fitting protrusion 3 and the opening-side inner peripheral surface 9 of the fitting hole 7 are engaged.

そして、このように開口部8と括れ部5とが、括れ部側外周面6と開口部側内周面9とが係合することで、嵌合突起3が嵌合孔7から抜けるのが防止されるとともに、がたつきなどのない安定した嵌合連結状態が確保されて、組み付けた多面体遊具1間の連結状態が良好に維持され、本例のように多面体遊具1を弾性体から構成しても、構築した構造物の立体形状を良好に維持することができる。   The opening 8 and the constricted portion 5 are thus engaged with the constricted portion side outer peripheral surface 6 and the opening portion inner peripheral surface 9, so that the fitting projection 3 comes out of the fitting hole 7. In addition to being prevented, a stable fitting connection state without rattling is ensured, and the connection state between the assembled polyhedron play equipment 1 is well maintained, and the polyhedron play equipment 1 is made of an elastic body as in this example Even so, the three-dimensional shape of the constructed structure can be maintained well.

また、嵌合突起3の嵌合孔7への挿入時においては、嵌合突起3の括れ部側外周面6よりも嵌合孔7の開口部8の方が小径であることから、嵌合突起3の括れ部側外周面6と嵌合孔7の開口部8とが当接すると、嵌合突起3及び嵌合孔7の弾性力によって嵌合突起3が嵌合孔7内に引き込まれることとなり、多面体遊具1をより容易且つより確実に嵌合連結させることができる。   Further, when the fitting protrusion 3 is inserted into the fitting hole 7, the opening 8 of the fitting hole 7 has a smaller diameter than the constricted portion side outer peripheral surface 6 of the fitting protrusion 3. When the constricted portion side outer peripheral surface 6 of the protrusion 3 contacts the opening 8 of the fitting hole 7, the fitting protrusion 3 is pulled into the fitting hole 7 by the elastic force of the fitting protrusion 3 and the fitting hole 7. As a result, the polyhedron play equipment 1 can be more easily and reliably fitted and connected.

また、嵌合突起3が嵌合孔7内に挿入された後においては、嵌合突起3の括れ部側外周面6と嵌合孔7の開口部側内周面9とが係合し、嵌合突起3及び嵌合孔7の弾性力によって嵌合突起3を嵌合孔7内に引き込む力を生じることから、嵌合突起3が嵌合孔7から抜けるのをより確実に防止することができ、多くの多面体遊具1を組み付けることによってこれが崩れるといった不都合を防止することができる。   Further, after the fitting protrusion 3 is inserted into the fitting hole 7, the constricted portion side outer peripheral surface 6 of the fitting protrusion 3 and the opening portion inner peripheral surface 9 of the fitting hole 7 are engaged, Since the force of pulling the fitting protrusion 3 into the fitting hole 7 is generated by the elastic force of the fitting protrusion 3 and the fitting hole 7, the fitting protrusion 3 is more reliably prevented from coming out of the fitting hole 7. It is possible to prevent the inconvenience that it collapses by assembling many polyhedral playground equipments 1.

また、多面体遊具1を弾性を有するウレタンスポンジから構成することで、これを相応に大きなものとしても、軽量で幼児などが容易に取り扱うことができ、しかも遊戯者が怪我をすることがないので、上記のように、遊戯者が内部に入ることができる大きさの家や、乗り込み可能な船や自動車など、実物大より若干小さい構造物や、逆に大きい構造物などを構築することができ、より現実味のある実体感を併せ持ったより興味深い遊戯を行なわせることができる。   In addition, since the polyhedron play equipment 1 is made of a urethane sponge having elasticity, even if it is made correspondingly large, it can be easily handled by an infant and the like, and the player will not be injured. As mentioned above, it is possible to build a structure that is slightly smaller than the actual size, such as a house that allows players to enter inside, ships and cars that can be boarded, and vice versa, This makes it possible to play more interesting games with more realistic reality.

以上、本発明の実施形態について説明したが、本発明が採り得る具体的な態様は何らこれに限定されるものではない。   As mentioned above, although embodiment of this invention was described, the specific aspect which this invention can take is not limited to this at all.

例えば、上記の例において、嵌合突起3又は嵌合孔7の表面を樹脂などの硬質皮膜で被覆しても良い。このようにすれば、嵌合関係にある嵌合突起3又は嵌合孔7が、硬質皮膜によって弾性変形しなくなるので、上記の例に比べて、嵌合突起3が嵌合孔7からより抜け難くなり、構築した構造物の立体形状をより良好に維持することができる。   For example, in the above example, the surface of the fitting protrusion 3 or the fitting hole 7 may be covered with a hard film such as a resin. In this way, the fitting protrusion 3 or the fitting hole 7 in the fitting relationship is not elastically deformed by the hard film, so that the fitting protrusion 3 is more easily removed from the fitting hole 7 than in the above example. It becomes difficult, and the three-dimensional shape of the constructed structure can be maintained better.
