Description
Description ASSEMBLY TOY PLAYING HOUSE
Technical Field
[1] The present invention relates to an assembly-type playhouse for education. More particularly, the present invention is characterized in that assembly is performed to realize the shape of a pyramid, a teepee or an igloo, which is a traditional house, plates, which are cut in advance to resemble one of the traditional houses, are coupled to each other in a fitting manner such that children can directly experience house structures, a repetitive coupling structure is achieved in such a way that coupling protrusions are formed on one edge of a plate, coupling slits are formed on the other edge of the plate to correspond to the coupling protrusions of another plate, the coupling protrusions formed on the first edge of the first plate are fitted into the coupling slits of the second plate, and the coupling protrusions of the second plate are fitted into the coupling slits formed on the second edge of the first plate, thus a playhouse having a pyramid, teepee or igloo shape is assembled. Background Art
[2] Generally, toddlers and children can increase their intelligence not only by studying numbers, alphabets and the like, but also through various kinds of play. In addition, the effect of brain development, such as Intelligence Quotient (IQ) or Emotional Intelligence (EQ) development, can be achieved.
[3] Accordingly, adults stimulate toddlers' or children's interest through various kinds of play and also encourage the toddlers and children to engage in various kinds of play, which can create a learning effect.
[4] In particular, one basic form of play, which can be enjoyed without special rules, is drawing. Such drawing is a good form of play that enables children to express various thoughts, and that can help them develop the ability to view an object and precisely represent it, or develop their imagination.
[5] However, toddlers and children have a strong tendency to draw objects as they start to draw lines and to write using pens or the like, but they have little discretion, so that the case where the toddlers and children draw pictures on floors, walls, clothes or the like, rather than on a predetermined substrate, often occurs.
[6] Children's ability to draw is limited to scribbling, but the children are learning hand motor skills, developing imagination and intelligence, and improving their ability to learn through such behavior, so that it is difficult to arbitrarily restrict their behavior, therefore a space where children can draw desired pictures anywhere therein without any restriction is required.
[7] Next, model assembly using paper is described below. Generally, a two-dimensional model or a three-dimensional model is manufactured through a process of folding pieces of two-dimensional paper in a predetermined order. In this case, paper- folding techniques may be used. In this process, children's interest can be attracted, the children can feel a sense of accomplishment upon completion of a model themselves, and the children's intelligence can be improved.
[8] However, the above-described paper models attract the children's interest only until the completion step.
[9] That is, most completed paper models function as toys only for a short time after assembly. From that time, they no longer attract the children's interest. Accordingly, most of the completed paper models are generally discarded after a predetermined period of time has elapsed.
[10] Accordingly, paper- type toys, which enable play to be continuously performed using three-dimensionally assembled structures because they make children feel a sense of accomplishment in a process of directly assembling a predetermined structure using material such as paper and, at the same time, space in which the children can enter and which facilitates play is realized, which can help increase the ability to learn drawing and writing, and learn about various customs, life-styles, and house structures of various peoples while assembling the houses or three-dimensional structures of the peoples, while playing, and, in addition, which is inexpensive and is not dangerous to children, are required, but there is no toy that can meet these needs.
Disclosure of Invention
Technical Problem
[11] Accordingly, the present invention has been made to solve all problems occurring in conventional toys for drawing and model assembly, among children's play means, and an object of the present invention is to provide an assembly-type playhouse using paper plates, which enables children to directly manufacture a three-dimensional structure using a plurality of paper plates, and enables the decoration of the completed three-dimensional structure by allowing the children to directly draw pictures or write on the inner and outer surfaces of the completed three-dimensional structure, thus not only realizing both play activities, that is, model assembly and drawing, but also providing the chance to learn the lifestyles and customs of various peoples through the houses or structures of the peoples, and, in addition, enabling a model house itself, which the children manufacture and decorate for themselves, to be used as a play space. Technical Solution
[12] In order to accomplish the above object, the present invention provides an
assembly-type playhouse, which is characterized in that assembly is performed to realize the shape a pyramid, a teepee or an igloo, which are traditional houses, plates, which are cut to resemble one of the traditional houses, are coupled to each other in a fitting manner so as to enable experience of house structures, a repetitive coupling structure is achieved in such a way that coupling protrusions are formed on one edge of a plate, coupling slits are formed on another edge of the plate to correspond to the coupling protrusions of another plate, the coupling protrusions formed on the first edge of the first plate are fitted into the coupling slits of the second plate, and the coupling protrusions of the second plate are fitted into the coupling slits formed on the second edge of the first plate, thus a playhouse having a pyramid, teepee or igloo shape is assembled.
Advantageous Effects
[13] As described above, the assembly-type playhouse of the present invention is advantageous in that paper plates are connected to each other through assembly, thus developing children's brains and making the children feel a sense of accomplishment in a play process of assembling a three-dimensional structure, such as a traditional house or a pyramid, and also realizing both play activities, that is, model assembly and drawing, by enabling various pictures to be drawn on, or enabling various stickers to be attached to, the outer surfaces of a completed structure.
[14] Furthermore, the present invention introduces the traditional houses of various peoples to the children, thus providing the chance to indirectly experience and learn the houses and lifestyles of other peoples, as well as a play space.
[15] Furthermore, the present invention is advantageous in that the completed playhouse can continue to be used as a play space for the children, and in that the plates, which are made of paper material, can not only prevent accidents from occurring but also be recycled when discarded.
[16] Although the present invention has been described with reference to embodiments shown in the drawings, this is disclosed only for illustrative purpose, and those skilled in the art will appreciate that various modifications are possible. Accordingly, the true technical scope of the present invention should be defined by the technical spirit of the accompanying claims.

[51] Furthermore, a female fitting piece 24, having a coupling slit 13, extends from an edge of the upper body 3 on one of two edges of the upper body 3. A coupling protrusion 12 is provided on the other edge of the upper body 3 so as to be fitted into the coupling slit 13.
[52] Accordingly, after the upper body 3 is folded along the folding lines 5 in the shape of the pyramid 2, coupling is made by fitting the coupling protrusion 12 and the coupling slit 13, which correspond to the two edges of the upper body 3, into each other.
[53] Furthermore, the upper body 3 has coupling protrusions 12, which extend outside from the lower portions of the respective triangular parts thereof so as to be fitted into the upper portion of the lower body 4.
[54] Furthermore, the lower body 4, which is coupled with the upper body 3, has a trapezoidal shape so as to be coupled with the upper body 3 in a pyramid shape, female fitting pieces 24, having respective coupling slits 13, are formed on the upper portion of the lower body 4 such that the coupling protrusions 12 of the upper body 3 can be fitted thereinto. The lower body 4 includes front, rear, left and right plates 7, 8, 9 and 10, each of which is configured such that a plurality of coupling protrusions 12 is formed on one of two edges of each plate, and a female fitting piece 24 having coupling slits 13 is formed on the other of the two edges of the corresponding plate so as to correspond to the coupling protrusions 12.
[55] Furthermore, an entrance 11 is formed in the front plate 6 by cutting part of the
front plate 6. Female fitting pieces 24 having coupling slits 13 are formed along the edge of the entrance 11.
[56] Accordingly, the coupling protrusions 12 of the upper body 3 are fitted into respective coupling slits 13, which are formed in the upper portion of the front plate 6, and coupling protrusions 12, which are formed on one of two edges of the front plate 6, are fitted into the respective coupling slits 13 of a female fitting piece 24, which is formed on one edge of the right plate 8.
[57] Furthermore, coupling protrusions 12, which are formed on the other edge of the right plate 8, are fitted into the respective coupling slits 13 of a female fitting piece 24, which is formed on one edge of the rear plate 9. Coupling protrusions 12, which are formed on one edge of the rear plate 9, are fitted into the respective coupling slits 13 of the female fitting piece 24 of the left plate 7.
[58] Furthermore, coupling protrusions 12, which are formed on one edge of the left plate 7, are fitted into the respective coupling slits 13 of a female fitting piece 24, which is formed on one edge of the front plate 6. In this manner, the lower body 4 is assembled to have the shape of a pyramid 2.
[59] Furthermore, the coupling of the entrance plate 10 is made in such as way that the coupling protrusions 12 thereof are fitted into the coupling slits 13 of the female fitting pieces 24, formed around the entrance 11 so as to surround the entrance 11, which is formed in the front plate 6.
[60] In this case, the female fitting piece 24, which are formed along the edge of the entrance 11 of the front plate 6, are located on the outer surface of the entrance plate 10 in the assembly process, rather than being located in the lower body 4, so that, when children come in and out though the entrance 11, the children can be prevented from being hurt by the protruding female fitting piece 24 and the coupling protrusions 13.
[61] FIG. 4 is a sectional view showing the pyramid- shaped playhouse according to the present invention, and FIG. 5 is a perspective view showing the coupling of a coupling unit in the pyramid- shaped playhouse according to the present invention.
[62] In order to assemble the pyramid-shaped playhouse 2 according to the present invention, the pyramid- shaped playhouse 2 has a coupling structure in which the coupling protrusions 12, which are formed on one edge of the front plate 6, are fitted into the coupling slits 13 of the female fitting piece 24 formed on one edge of the right plate 8, thus being secure.

[65] Accordingly, the upper body 3 is configured such that a single plate is equally sectioned into four triangular parts by folding lines 5. A female fitting piece 24, having a coupling slit 13, extends from one of two edges of the upper body 3. A coupling protrusion 12 is provided at the other edge of the upper body 3 so as to be fitted into the coupling slit 13.
[66] Furthermore, the upper body 3 has coupling protrusions 12, which extend outside from the lower portions of the respective triangular parts thereof so as to be fitted into the upper portion of the lower body 4.
[67] Accordingly, the upper body 3, which is divided into a pair of left and right parts having the same shape, is imparted with an octagonal cone shape by fitting coupling protrusions 12 and coupling slits 13, which are formed to correspond to the left and right surfaces, into each other.
[68] When the female fitting pieces 24 are folded inside while the coupling protrusions
12 are fitted into the coupling slits 13 of the upper body 3, the coupling slits 13 are naturally opened such that the coupling protrusions 12 can be fitted thereinto. Subsequently, when the coupling protrusions 12 are inserted, the female fitting pieces 24 come into close contact with the inner surface of the upper body 3 due to the restoring force of the paper material.
[69] Furthermore, the lower body 4, which is coupled with the upper body 3, which is folded and coupled to have the octagonal cone shape, includes a front plate 6, a left plate 7, a right plate 8 and a rear plate 9.

Coupling protrusions 12 are formed on two edges of the front plate 6 so as to be fitted into female fitting pieces 24, which are formed in the left and right plates 7 and 8 and have respective coupling slits 13.
[72] Furthermore, the left and right plates 7 and 8 are located on respective edges of the front plate 6 and are coupled with the front plate 6. Each of the left and right plates 7 and 8 is configured such that a single plate is sectioned into two parts, female fitting pieces 24 having coupling slits 13 are formed in the upper portion thereof such that the
coupling protrusions 12 of the upper body 3 can be fitted thereinto, and female fitting pieces 24 having coupling slits 13 are formed on the two edges thereof so as to be coupled with the front plate 6 and the rear plate 9 in a fitting manner.
[73] Accordingly, the front plate 7 is coupled with the left and right plates 7 and 8 in such a way that the coupling protrusions 12 are fitted into the coupling slits 13 of female fitting pieces 24, which are formed to be folded inside the left and right plates 7 and 8.
[74] Furthermore, the rear plate 9, having coupling protrusions 12, is located between the left and right plates 7 and 8, which are coupled to the front plate 6, and is configured in such a way that a female fitting piece 24 having a coupling slit 13 is formed in the upper portion of the rear plate 9 such that the corresponding coupling protrusion 12 of the upper body 3 is fitted thereinto, and coupling protrusions are formed on the two edges of the rear plate 9 so as to be coupled with the left and right plates 7 and 8 in a fitting manner.
[75] Accordingly, the rear plate 9 has a structure in which the coupling protrusions 12 thereof are fitted into the coupling slits 13 of the left and right plates 7 and 8 in the same manner as in the front plate 6.
[76] FIG. 9 is a development view showing an igloo-shaped playhouse according to the present invention, FIG. 10 is an exploded perspective view showing the igloo-shaped playhouse according to the present invention, and FIG. 11 is an assembled perspective view showing the igloo-shaped playhouse according to the present invention.
[77] The present invention is assembled such that the children can directly experience an igloo 15, in which Eskimos used to reside, and includes a roof part 16, a connection plate 14, and an entrance plate 10.
[78] Accordingly, the roof part 14 is a hexagonal shaped plate, and coupling protrusions
12 are formed on respective edges.
[79] Furthermore, six connection plates 14 are coupled in a dome shape to the respective edges of the roof part 14, having a hexagonal shape.
[80] Accordingly, each of the six connection plates 14 is folded in three steps so as to have the dome shape, coupling protrusions 12 are formed on one of two edges of each of the six connection plates, female fitting pieces 24, having coupling slits 13, are formed on the other edge of each of the six connection plates so as to correspond to the coupling protrusions 12, and the connection plates 14 are coupled to each other in such a way that coupling slits 13 are fitted into respective coupling protrusions 12.
[81] Furthermore, an entrance 11 is formed in one of the six connection plates 14. The entrance plate 10, the coupling protrusions 12 of which are formed so as to be fitted into female fitting pieces 24 of the entrance 11, having coupling slits 13, is coupled to the edge of the entrance 11.
[82] FIG. 12 is an assembled perspective view of a coupling unit according to the present invention, and FIG. 13 is an exploded perspective view of the coupling unit according to the present invention.
[83] When assembling the assembly-type playhouses, that is, the pyramid 2, the teepee 1 and the igloo 15, the present invention uses a coupling unit 17, rather than using a method of coupling coupling protrusions 12 and coupling slits 13 in a fitting manner.
[84] The coupling unit 17 includes a coupling piece 18, which is configured such that a coupling hole 23 is formed in the center portion thereof and a stopper 22 is formed in the coupling hole 23, and a coupling main body 19, which is integrated with a coupling protrusion 20, which is inserted into the coupling hole 23 of the coupling piece 18 and is configured such that teeth 21 are formed in the longitudinal direction thereof.
[85] FIG. 14 is a perspective view showing the use of the coupling unit according to the present invention.
[86] The coupling unit 17 according to the present invention is described below. Plates
6, 7, 8 and 9, which are coupled to each other, are brought into close contact with each other, and then the through-holes of the plates 6, 7, 8 and 9, which are formed in advance, are aligned. Thereafter, when the coupling protrusion 20, which protrudes from the coupling main body 19, is inserted into the through-holes to thus protrude in the opposite direction, the protruding coupling protrusion 20 is fitted into the coupling hole 23 of the coupling piece 18, and then the coupling protrusion 20 is pulled such that the plates 6, 7, 8 and 9 can be tightly coupled to each other. Thereafter, the portion that protrudes from the coupling piece 18 is cut.
[87] By doing so, the stopper 22, having a tooth shape, is inserted into the coupling piece
18 while being engaged with the teeth 21, but the coupling protrusion 20 is not separated. Accordingly, secure coupling can be maintained.
