Description

The invention relates to toys, namely to doll houses, is intended for preschool children, can be used by them in role-playing games, is suitable both at home and in preschool and additional education institutions.

A device similar to the proposed invention according to the principle of folding is known - "Folding dishes Kukarina", which is a container like a glass, which contains a conical container, annular protrusions, evenly spaced along the height of the container wall surface. In the folded state, the walls of the container are placed under each other, in the unfolded position they are telescopically opened up (patent RU 26731).

This device is compact, convenient for use at home, in field conditions, but it is not intended for use by preschool children in play activities.

A toy is also known - “Dollhouse kit”, which is a kit for assembling a toy house, consisting of a base, side, outer and inner walls, panel ceilings between floors and guide bars to hold the side walls together. At the same time, grooves are made in each side wall for inserting panel ceilings into them, forming floors, in addition, grooves are also made on panel ceilings and the base for vertical installation of walls forming rooms in them. When assembled, the house consists of several floors, each of which is divided into several rooms by means of partitions installed in the grooves of the corresponding ceiling, and a roof (patent US 7241198).

This toy is collapsible according to the type of designer, where each of its elements in the disassembled state represents an independent independent part, which is convenient for storing it in a folded state, compactly. The toy also contains fixing elements for the stability of the whole structure. But at the same time, the operation of assembling elements into a single structure requires a certain skill to preserve the integrity of the already assembled part of the gaming device, which for preschool children presents a certain difficulty in self-assembly of the toy. In addition, due to the complexity of the design, the assembly and disassembly operations of a preschool child require time during which the child can be distracted from the game, lose the desire to play.

The closest technical solution is the well-known toy dollhouse “Folding dollhouse book”, designed in the form of a folding book from a cardboard strip with evenly distributed folds, while partitions with doorways cut into them are attached to the folds on one side, which, when the structure is opened by its stretching in opposite directions, form a one-story house with several rooms, and also hold the structure in a vertical position (patent US 2608026).

The design of this toy suggests the possibility of its folding and unfolding with a change in the number of rooms. The toy is compact when folded, easy to use, but has insufficient fixation of the entire structure when unfolded - due to bending of the material and the absence of additional fixing elements, the toy can partially take the original shape of the "accordion", which is inconvenient in the process of its use by preschool children. The design also does not provide for the creation of a house with more than one storey.

Thus, the technical problem is to expand the functionality of the toy and increase the convenience of its use by preschool children by providing the possibility of transforming a one-story toy into a multi-story one with reliable fixation of the elements among themselves by actions accessible to preschool children.

The technical result consists in the fact that the design of the claimed toy expands its functionality and improves the convenience of its use by preschool children by providing the possibility of transforming a one-story toy into a multi-story one with reliable fixation of the elements between themselves by actions accessible to preschool children.

The technical result is achieved by the fact that a toy is proposed - a folding toy house-transformer, consisting of a telescopically folding body formed by nested sections, each of which is made in the form of a straight prism with an opening made in one of its faces, as well as of horizontally arranged with the possibility of detaching partitions between sections from the structure of the toy, while on the upper and lower parts of each section there are flanges restricting movement relative to the edges of neighboring sections, and in the upper part of each section the shoulder is made bent inward, and in the lower part of each section the bead is made bent outward, moreover, in places below the engagement of the flanges in the sections, holes are made for installing clamps, for example, in the form of pins that serve as supports for the partitions between the sections, in addition, on the section, which in the extended position of the transformer house is the top, the roof is attached with the possibility of detachment to Mika, which also serves as a grip when transforming the toy into the folded and straightened positions (Fig. 12).

The partitions between the sections form floors and act as a floor and at the same time a ceiling for each of the sections, and detaching and attaching the partitions to the toy structure allows you to change the used play volume of the internal space on any of the floors and the very number of floors in the transforming playhouse.

As an embodiment, sections of a folding toy house-transformer along the perimeter can be made in the form of various geometric shapes, for example, in the form of a cylinder with an opening in the side surface, in the form of a truncated cone with an opening in the side surface, in the form of a truncated pyramid with an opening in the side surfaces.

As an embodiment, the extreme section of the folding toy house-transformer, opposite the section with the roof during telescopic opening, is made with the possibility of fixing the roof on it in case the telescopically opened toy structure is turned over during the game.

The execution of sections of a folding toy house-transformer is possible from materials of various degrees of deformability, for example, from polymer compounds, cardboard and others.

The proposed design expands the functionality of using the toy house during the game and increases the convenience of its use by preschool children by providing the possibility of transforming a one-story toy into a multi-story one with reliable fixation of the elements between themselves by actions accessible to preschool children. Moreover, due to the presence of flanges and the telescopic principle of transforming the gaming device, the problem of manually holding the already built part of the structure when installing additional clamps has been eliminated.

The inventive toy is illustrated by the following drawings.

In FIG. 1 shows a general view of a folding transformer toy house in the extended position.

In FIG. 2 shows a general view of a folding transformer toy house in the folded state.

In FIG. 3 schematically shows one of the sections.

In FIG. 4 schematically shows the engagement of the sections by the collars.

The inventive gaming device (Fig. 1) consists of a telescopically folding body 1, which is formed by nested sections 2. Each of the sections 2 is made in the form of a prism with an opening made in one of its faces (not indicated in Fig.), and on section 2, which turns out to be the top in the extended position of the transforming house, the roof 3 of the house is attached, which also serves as a grip when transforming the toy into the folded and extended positions. In addition, on the upper and lower parts of each section, collars 4 restricting movement relative to the faces of neighboring sections 2 are made, and in the upper part of each section, the collar 4 is made bent inward, and in the lower part of each section, the bead is made bent outward (Fig. 1, 3, 4), and in places below the engagement of the flanges 4 in the sections 2, holes 5 (Fig. 1, 3, 4) are made for installing the clamps 6, for example, in the form of pins that serve as supports for the partitions 7 between the sections 2 (Fig. 1).

Folding toy house-transformer is used as follows. Before the game, the device is in the folded state (Fig. 2). At the beginning of the game, the user brings the transforming house into a telescopically open position as follows: holding the device with one hand by the lower section 2, with the other hand, grabs the roof 3, pulls it up, thereby telescopically opening the toy until it engages to the stop side collars 4 between each other (Fig. 1, 4). For reliable fixation of sections 2 between each other, as well as as supports for partitions 7, in places below the engagement of the flanges 4 in the holes 5, latches 6 are inserted, for example, pins. Then, in order to form the required number of floors and the desired amount of playing space in each section 2, the player inserts partitions 7 through the openings in sections 2, laying them on the latches 6, thus securely fixing the position of the partitions 7 (Fig. 1, 3). During the game, the user can change the number of partitions 7. At the end of the game, in order to bring the toy to the folded state, the user removes the partitions 7 and latches 6, then, pressing on the roof 3, lowers section by section downward, bringing the toy to its original folded position (Fig. 2).

The inventive gaming device is easy to manufacture, compact, easy to use by preschool children, applicable both at home and in preschool and additional education institutions.
