o Para ello y de forma más concreta, la caja de juguete que se preconiza, que puede adoptar una confi¬ guración prismático-rectangular o cualquiera otra, y que puede igualmente estar asistida por la correspondien¬ te tapa, centra sus características en el hecho de que 5 tanto sus paredes laterales como su tapa, en el caso de que esta última exista, están afectadas por una plura¬ lidad de rehundidos de diferentes formas y tamaños, destinados a recibir a respectivas piezas complementa¬ rias, laminares, formal y dimensionalmente coincidentes 0 con dichos rehundidos y de diferentes colores.o For this and more specifically, the toy box that is recommended, which can adopt a prismatic-rectangular configuration or any other, and which can also be assisted by the corresponding lid, focuses its characteristics on the fact that both its side walls and its cover, in the event that the latter exists, are affected by a plurality of recesses of different shapes and sizes, intended to receive respective complementary pieces, laminar, formally and dimensionally matching 0 with said recesses and of different colors.
Aunque las citadas piezas complementarias, como acaba de decirse, se ajustan formal y dimensional¬ mente a los rehundidos de la caja propiamente dicha, 5 se ha previsto además que dichas piezas estén provistas. en la que ha de ser su cara interna, de pequeños tetones destinados a acoplarse con cierta presión en el seno de orificios pasantes existentes en los alojamientos correspondientes, de forma que tales piezas puedan quedar convenientemente estabilizadas en tales alojamientos, de donde a su vez resultan fácilmente extraíbles. Por lo tanto, en base a esos orificios pasantes, la caja es desmontable.Although the aforementioned complementary pieces, as just said, are formally and dimensionally adjusted to the recesses of the box itself, 5 it is also provided that said pieces are provided. in which it has to be its internal face, of small lugs destined to engage with certain pressure within the through holes existing in the corresponding housings, so that such pieces can be conveniently stabilized in such housings, where they turn easily removable. Therefore, based on those through holes, the box is removable.
A partir de esta estructuración básica es factible que el número de piezas complementarias coinci¬ da con el número de rehundidos de la caja, y en su caso de la correspondiente tapa, en cuyo caso la caja en su conjunto resultará fundamentalmente efectiva para el niño desde el punto de vista de ejercitación de for¬ mas, o bien puede existir un número mayor de piezas complementarias, con diferentes colores dentro de cada tipo, lo que ofrece al niño la posibilidad no sólo de cubrir cada cara de la caja con las piezas correspondién- tes, sino de seleccionar los colores que estime más convenientes, combinándolos a su criterio.From this basic structuring it is feasible that the number of complementary pieces coincides with the number of recesses of the box, and where appropriate the corresponding cover, in which case the box as a whole will be fundamentally effective for the child from the point of view of exercising forms, or there may be a greater number of complementary pieces, with different colors within each type, which offers the child the possibility not only to cover each face of the box with the corresponding pieces - but to select the colors you deem most convenient, combining them at your discretion.
