Hereinafter, the first embodiment of the toy container according to the present invention will be described.
＜１－１．玩具用容器の構成＞
　図１は、第１実施形態に係る玩具用容器１の斜視図であり、図２Ａ、図２Ｂは、玩具用容器１の平面図及び側面図である。図３Ａは、図２ＡのＣ－Ｃ線での玩具用容器１の断面図であり、図３Ｂは、図２Ａの矢印Ｄの方向から見た玩具用容器１の側面図である。なお、図１～図３では、成形状態（成形後のままの状態）の玩具用容器１を示している。 <1-1. Composition of toy container ＞
FIG. 1 is a perspective view of the toy container 1 according to the first embodiment, and FIGS. 2A and 2B are a plan view and a side view of the toy container 1. 3A is a cross-sectional view of the toy container 1 taken along the line CC of FIG. 2A, and FIG. 3B is a side view of the toy container 1 as viewed from the direction of arrow D in FIG. 2A. Note that FIGS. 1 to 3 show a toy container 1 in a molded state (as it is after molding).
　図１～図３に示すように、第１実施形態に係る玩具用容器１は、カプセル状に形成され、その内部に商品（玩具；図示省略）を取出し可能に収容する。この玩具用容器１は、商品が収容された状態で、例えば商品排出装置（図示せず）の内部に複数収納される。商品排出装置は、コイン投入口から硬貨が投入されてハンドルが回動操作されると、内部に収納された複数の玩具用容器１のうちの一つを取出口に排出する。 As shown in FIGS. 1 to 3, the toy container 1 according to the first embodiment is formed in a capsule shape, and a product (toy; not shown) can be taken out and stored inside the capsule. A plurality of the toy containers 1 are stored inside, for example, a product discharging device (not shown) in a state where the products are stored. When a coin is inserted from the coin insertion slot and the handle is rotated, the product ejection device ejects one of the plurality of toy containers 1 housed inside to the outlet.
　玩具用容器１は紙製であり、後述の製造工程により、全体が紙で一体成形されている。材料の紙は、所定量（例えば５０ｗｔ％以上）のパルプ（植物繊維）を含有するものであればよい。ただし、主にリサイクル性の観点から、接着剤の含有量が一定量以下であることが好ましい。 The toy container 1 is made of paper, and the whole is integrally molded with paper by the manufacturing process described later. The material paper may contain a predetermined amount (for example, 50 wt% or more) of pulp (vegetable fiber). However, it is preferable that the content of the adhesive is a certain amount or less, mainly from the viewpoint of recyclability.
　具体的に、玩具用容器１は、一対の収容部２（第１収容部２Ａ及び第２収容部２Ｂ）と、当該一対の収容部２を連結する連結部３とを備えている。
　一対の収容部２の各々は、同じ大きさの略半球状に形成され、内部に略半球状の収容空間を有している。
　連結部３は、一対の収容部２の開口縁部をリビングヒンジ状に連結している。より詳しくは、成形状態の玩具用容器１では、一対の収容部２が互いの開口部を同じ方向に向けて並んだ状態で、一対の収容部２の開口縁部から鍔状に延出した連結部３が、当該一対の収容部２を連結している。 Specifically, the toy container 1 includes a pair of accommodating portions 2 (first accommodating portion 2A and second accommodating portion 2B) and a connecting portion 3 for connecting the pair of accommodating portions 2.

　また、一対の収容部２の各々は、略円形状の開口縁部から外側に張り出す鍔部２５を、開口縁部の略全周に亘って有している。
　さらに、一対の収容部２のうち、第２収容部２Ｂの鍔部２５には、その外周縁から開口縁部の開口方向に立設された立壁２５ａが設けられている。この立壁２５ａは、鍔部２５のうち、平面視で補強部２１を挟んだ両側の略全範囲に亘って設けられている。 Further, each of the pair of accommodating portions 2 has a flange portion 25 projecting outward from the substantially circular opening edge portion over substantially the entire circumference of the opening edge portion.
Further, of the pair of accommodating portions 2, the flange portion 25 of the second accommodating portion 2B is provided with a vertical wall 25a erected from the outer peripheral edge thereof in the opening direction of the opening edge portion. The vertical wall 25a is provided over substantially the entire range on both sides of the flange portion 25 with the reinforcing portion 21 sandwiched in a plan view.
＜１－２．玩具収容状態＞
　図４Ａは玩具収容状態の玩具用容器１の斜視図であり、図４Ｂは図４ＡのＥ－Ｅ線での玩具用容器１の断面図であり、図４Ｃは玩具収容状態における開口縁部の部分断面図である。
　玩具用容器１は、成形状態から一対の収容部２の開口を互いに閉塞させることにより、玩具収容状態とされる。具体的には、図４Ａ、図４Ｂに示すように、成形状態から、連結部３を屈曲させつつ、一対の収容部２の互いの開口縁部（鍔部２５）を合わせるようにして、当該一対の収容部２の開口を閉塞させる。こうして、玩具用容器１は、略球状の玩具収容状態とされる。このときには、一対の収容部２の内部の収容空間に商品（玩具）を収容しておく。 <1-2. Toy storage state>
4A is a perspective view of the toy container 1 in the toy housing state, FIG. 4B is a cross-sectional view of the toy container 1 along the line EE of FIG. 4A, and FIG. 4C is a cross-sectional view of the opening edge portion in the toy housing state. It is a partial sectional view.
The toy container 1 is brought into the toy accommodating state by closing the openings of the pair of accommodating portions 2 with each other from the molded state. Specifically, as shown in FIGS. 4A and 4B, from the molded state, the connecting portions 3 are bent and the opening edges (flange portions 25) of the pair of accommodating portions 2 are aligned with each other. The openings of the pair of accommodating portions 2 are closed. In this way, the toy container 1 is in a substantially spherical toy storage state. At this time, the goods (toys) are stored in the storage space inside the pair of storage units 2.
　そして、第１収容部２Ａの係止突起２３を、第２収容部２Ｂの鍔部２５を挟むようにして第２収容部２Ｂ側に屈曲させ、第２収容部２Ｂの係止孔２４内に挿し込む。このとき、係止突起２３は、フック部２３ａが係止孔２４に挿通されて収容空間内に入るまで挿し込まれる。これにより、係止突起２３のフック部２３ａが係止孔２４に係止され、一対の収容部２が開口を閉塞させた玩具収容状態が保持される。係止突起２３は、係止孔２４に挿入された状態では、一対の収容部２をリビングヒンジ状に連結している。
　また、この玩具収容状態では、図４Ｃに示すように、一対の収容部２の互いの開口縁部（鍔部２５）間の隙間Ｓが、第２収容部２Ｂの鍔部２５に設けられた立壁２５ａによって覆われている。これにより、隙間Ｓから内部（の商品）が視認されたりゴミが混入したりすることなどを防止できる。 Then, the locking projection 23 of the first accommodating portion 2A is bent toward the second accommodating portion 2B so as to sandwich the flange portion 25 of the second accommodating portion 2B, and is inserted into the locking hole 24 of the second accommodating portion 2B. .. At this time, the locking projection 23 is inserted until the hook portion 23a is inserted into the locking hole 24 and enters the accommodation space. As a result, the hook portion 23a of the locking projection 23 is locked in the locking hole 24, and the toy accommodating state in which the pair of accommodating portions 2 close the opening is maintained. The locking projection 23 connects the pair of accommodating portions 2 in a living hinge shape when inserted into the locking hole 24.

　一対の収容部５の各々は、上記第１実施形態の収容部２と同様に、同じ大きさの略半球状に形成され、内部に略半球状の収容空間を有している。
　連結部３は、一対の収容部５の開口縁部をリビングヒンジ状に連結している。より詳しくは、成形状態の玩具用容器４では、一対の収容部５が互いの開口部を同じ方向に向けて並んだ状態で、一対の収容部５の開口縁部から鍔状に延出した連結部３が、当該一対の収容部５を連結している。 Specifically, the toy container 4 includes a pair of accommodating portions 5 (first accommodating portion 5A and second accommodating portion 5B) and a connecting portion 3 for connecting the pair of accommodating portions 5.
Each of the pair of accommodating portions 5 is formed in a substantially hemispherical shape having the same size as the accommodating portion 2 of the first embodiment, and has a substantially hemispherical accommodating space inside.
The connecting portion 3 connects the opening edges of the pair of accommodating portions 5 in a living hinge shape. More specifically, in the molded toy container 4, the pair of accommodating portions 5 extend in a brim shape from the opening edges of the pair of accommodating portions 5 in a state where the openings are arranged in the same direction. The connecting portion 3 connects the pair of accommodating portions 5.
　また、一対の収容部５の各々は、その外側へ突出する補強部２１を有している。本実施形態の補強部２１は、上記第１実施形態のものと同様に構成されている。すなわち、補強部２１は、当該収容部５と同程度の半径を有する所定幅の柱面状に形成され、連結部３と繋がった開口縁部の一端から頂部を経て開口縁部の他端に至るように延在している。
　補強部２１の幅方向の両端は、収容部５の他の球状部分に対し、段付き状に外側へ突出している。そのため、変形に対する収容部５の強度が向上する。また、補強部２１が柱面状であるため、その外側の表面にラベルを貼ったり直接印字したりして、当該表面を、例えば収容した玩具の情報等を示す情報表示面とすることができる。ラベルを貼る場合には、紙製のラベル（紙テープ等）を用いるのが好ましい。
　なお、補強部２１は、収容部５の他の部分に対して凹状又は凸状に形成されていれば、その具体形状は特に限定されない。例えば、収容部５の頂部から放射状に複数延在していたりしてもよい。ただし、補強部２１の外側の表面を情報表示面とするには、当該表面が可展面（伸縮することなしに平面に展開することができる面）を含むことが好ましく、柱面又は平面を含むことがより好ましい。さらに、補強部２１は、一対の収容部５のうちの少なくとも一方に設けられていればよい。
　その他の補強部２１の例としては、例えば、一端が収容部５の縁に接しているものや、矩形状などの表面を有する小型のものを複数設けたもの、ハニカム構造を有するもの、凹凸を紙の厚みの変化で形成したものなどが挙げられる。 Further, each of the pair of accommodating portions 5 has a reinforcing portion 21 projecting to the outside thereof. The reinforcing portion 21 of the present embodiment is configured in the same manner as that of the first embodiment. That is, the reinforcing portion 21 is formed in a pillar surface shape having a predetermined width having a radius similar to that of the accommodating portion 5, and extends from one end of the opening edge portion connected to the connecting portion 3 to the other end of the opening edge portion via the top portion. It extends all the way.
Both ends of the reinforcing portion 21 in the width direction project outward in a stepped manner with respect to the other spherical portions of the accommodating portion 5. Therefore, the strength of the accommodating portion 5 against deformation is improved. Further, since the reinforcing portion 21 has a pillar surface shape, a label can be attached or directly printed on the outer surface of the reinforcing portion 21, and the surface can be used as an information display surface showing information on, for example, the housed toy. .. When affixing a label, it is preferable to use a paper label (paper tape or the like).
The specific shape of the reinforcing portion 21 is not particularly limited as long as it is formed in a concave or convex shape with respect to the other portion of the accommodating portion 5. For example, a plurality of may extend radially from the top of the accommodating portion 5. However, in order to use the outer surface of the reinforcing portion 21 as an information display surface, it is preferable that the surface includes a developable surface (a surface that can be developed into a flat surface without expanding and contracting), and the pillar surface or the flat surface is formed. It is more preferable to include it. Further, the reinforcing portion 21 may be provided in at least one of the pair of accommodating portions 5.
Examples of other reinforcing portions 21 include those having one end in contact with the edge of the accommodating portion 5, those provided with a plurality of small ones having a surface such as a rectangular shape, those having a honeycomb structure, and those having irregularities. Examples thereof include those formed by changing the thickness of paper.
　また、一対の収容部５の各々は、複数の貫通孔２２を有している。本実施形態では、各収容部５のうち、補強部２１を挟んだ両側の球状部分に、貫通孔２２が２つずつ形成されている。ただし、複数の貫通孔２２の大きさや位置、数量は、特に限定されない。これら複数の貫通孔２２により、玩具用容器４が誤嚥された場合にも気道が確保される。
　また、一対の収容部５の各々は、略円形状の開口縁部から外側に張り出す鍔部２５を、開口縁部の略全周に亘って有している。なお、鍔部２５に上記第１実施形態の立壁２５ａを設けてもよい。 Further, each of the pair of accommodating portions 5 has a plurality of through holes 22. In the present embodiment, two through holes 22 are formed in spherical portions on both sides of each accommodating portion 5 with the reinforcing portion 21 sandwiched between them. However, the size, position, and quantity of the plurality of through holes 22 are not particularly limited. These plurality of through holes 22 secure an airway even when the toy container 4 is aspirated.
Further, each of the pair of accommodating portions 5 has a flange portion 25 projecting outward from the substantially circular opening edge portion over substantially the entire circumference of the opening edge portion. The flange portion 25 may be provided with the vertical wall 25a of the first embodiment.
　一対の収容部５のうち、第１収容部５Ａは、係止突起２３を有している。係止突起２３は、上記第１実施形態のものと同様に構成されている。すなわち、係止突起２３は、第１収容部５Ａの開口縁部のうち、連結部３が連結された位置とは反対側の位置（連結部３の対向位置）に設けられている。係止突起２３は、平面視で略円形状の第１収容部５Ａの開口縁部に対し、その半径方向外側へ鍔状に延出している。係止突起２３は、先端部が後述の係止孔２４の幅よりも広い幅に形成されている、具体的に、係止突起２３は、先端に向かって所定の幅で延出するとともに、その先端側には、段付き状に幅広になった後に先端に向かうに連れて次第に幅が狭まるフック部２３ａを幅方向の両側に有している。 Of the pair of accommodating portions 5, the first accommodating portion 5A has a locking projection 23. The locking projection 23 is configured in the same manner as that of the first embodiment. That is, the locking projection 23 is provided at a position (opposite position of the connecting portion 3) of the opening edge portion of the first accommodating portion 5A, which is opposite to the position where the connecting portion 3 is connected. The locking projection 23 extends radially outward from the opening edge of the first accommodating portion 5A, which has a substantially circular shape in a plan view. The tip of the locking projection 23 is formed to have a width wider than the width of the locking hole 24 described later. Specifically, the locking projection 23 extends toward the tip with a predetermined width and has a predetermined width. On the tip side thereof, hook portions 23a are provided on both sides in the width direction, which gradually widen toward the tip after being stepped wide.
　また、第１収容部５Ａは、後述する第２収容部５Ｂのロック部２７を係止可能な係止凹部２６を有している。係止凹部２６は、本発明に係る第１係止部の一例である。係止凹部２６は、第１収容部５Ａの開口縁部のうち、連結部３の位置と連結部３の対向位置（係止突起２３の位置）とを含めて平面視で当該開口縁部を４等分するように、互いに対向する側方の２箇所に配置されている。各係止凹部２６は、開口縁部の鍔部２５を所定幅で切り欠いた形状に形成されている。各係止凹部２６の開口幅は一様ではなく、開口縁部の半径方向外側（鍔部２５の先端側）に向かって狭窄するように形成されている。
　なお、係止凹部２６の位置や数量は特に限定されないが、第１収容部５Ａの開口縁部のうち連結部３の位置と連結部３の対向位置とを除く位置に、複数設けられるのが好ましい。 Further, the first accommodating portion 5A has a locking recess 26 capable of locking the locking portion 27 of the second accommodating portion 5B, which will be described later. The locking recess 26 is an example of the first locking portion according to the present invention. The locking recess 26 includes the opening edge portion of the first accommodating portion 5A, including the position of the connecting portion 3 and the facing position of the connecting portion 3 (the position of the locking projection 23). They are arranged at two locations on the sides facing each other so as to be divided into four equal parts. Each locking recess 26 is formed in a shape in which the flange portion 25 of the opening edge portion is cut out with a predetermined width. The opening width of each locking recess 26 is not uniform, and is formed so as to narrow toward the outer side in the radial direction of the opening edge portion (the tip end side of the flange portion 25).
The position and quantity of the locking recesses 26 are not particularly limited, but a plurality of locking recesses 26 may be provided at positions other than the position of the connecting portion 3 and the facing position of the connecting portion 3 in the opening edge portion of the first accommodating portion 5A. preferable.
　一方、第２収容部５Ｂは、第１収容部５Ａの係止突起２３を係止可能な係止孔２４を有している。係止孔２４は、上記第１実施形態のものと同様に構成されている。すなわち、係止孔２４は、第２収容部５Ｂの開口縁部のうち、連結部３が連結された位置とは反対側の位置（連結部３の対向位置）に設けられており、本実施形態では補強部２１上に設けられている。この係止孔２４は、係止突起２３の先端及び基端側の幅よりも広く、フック部２３ａの最大幅よりも狭い幅に形成されている。 On the other hand, the second accommodating portion 5B has a locking hole 24 capable of locking the locking projection 23 of the first accommodating portion 5A. The locking hole 24 is configured in the same manner as that of the first embodiment. That is, the locking hole 24 is provided at a position (opposite position of the connecting portion 3) opposite to the position where the connecting portion 3 is connected in the opening edge portion of the second accommodating portion 5B. In the form, it is provided on the reinforcing portion 21. The locking hole 24 is formed to have a width wider than the width of the tip end side and the base end side of the locking projection 23 and narrower than the maximum width of the hook portion 23a.
　また、第２収容部５Ｂは、ロック部２７を有している。ロック部２７は、本発明に係る第１突起部の一例である。ロック部２７は、第１収容部５Ａの係止凹部２６に対応した位置に設けられている。具体的に、ロック部２７は、第２収容部５Ｂの開口縁部のうち、連結部３の位置と連結部３の対向位置（係止孔２４の位置）とを含めて平面視で当該開口縁部を４等分するように、互いに対向する側方の２箇所に配置されている。各ロック部２７は、鍔部２５よりも開口縁部の半径方向外側へ鍔状に延出しており、その両側の鍔部２５が切り欠かれている。各ロック部２７は、基端部の幅がその先端側よりも狭く形成されている。そして、この基端部の幅が第１収容部５Ａの係止凹部２６の最大幅と同程度又は僅かに狭く形成され、基端部よりも先端側の幅が第１収容部５Ａの係止凹部２６の最大幅よりも少し広く形成されている。これにより、各係止凹部２６は、基端部で屈曲可能となっており、後述するように、玩具収容状態で第１収容部５Ａの係止凹部２６に係止される。
　なお、ロック部２７の位置や数量は特に限定されないが、第２収容部５Ｂの開口縁部のうち連結部３の位置と連結部３の対向位置とを除く位置に、複数設けられるのが好ましい。ただし、第１収容部５Ａの係止凹部２６と対応した位置に配置されるのは勿論である。例えば、連結部３の対向位置に係止孔２４（係止突起２３）を設けずに、第２収容部５Ｂ（第１収容部５Ａ）の開口縁部を平面視で３等分するように、ロック部２７（係止凹部２６）を当該開口縁部の３箇所に配置してもよい。 Further, the second accommodating portion 5B has a lock portion 27. The lock portion 27 is an example of the first protrusion portion according to the present invention. The lock portion 27 is provided at a position corresponding to the locking recess 26 of the first accommodating portion 5A. Specifically, the lock portion 27 is opened in a plan view including the position of the connecting portion 3 and the facing position of the connecting portion 3 (the position of the locking hole 24) in the opening edge portion of the second accommodating portion 5B. The edges are arranged at two locations on the sides facing each other so as to divide the edges into four equal parts. Each lock portion 27 extends radially outward from the flange portion 25 in the radial direction, and the collar portions 25 on both sides thereof are cut out. Each lock portion 27 is formed so that the width of the base end portion is narrower than that of the tip end side thereof. The width of the base end portion is formed to be the same as or slightly narrower than the maximum width of the locking recess 26 of the first accommodating portion 5A, and the width on the tip end side of the proximal end portion is the locking of the first accommodating portion 5A. It is formed slightly wider than the maximum width of the recess 26. As a result, each locking recess 26 is bendable at the base end portion, and is locked to the locking recess 26 of the first housing portion 5A in the toy housing state, as will be described later.
The position and quantity of the lock portions 27 are not particularly limited, but it is preferable that a plurality of lock portions 27 are provided at positions other than the positions of the connecting portions 3 and the opposing positions of the connecting portions 3 in the opening edge portion of the second accommodating portion 5B. .. However, it goes without saying that it is arranged at a position corresponding to the locking recess 26 of the first accommodating portion 5A. For example, the opening edge of the second accommodating portion 5B (first accommodating portion 5A) is divided into three equal parts in a plan view without providing the locking hole 24 (locking protrusion 23) at the opposite position of the connecting portion 3. , Locking portions 27 (locking recesses 26) may be arranged at three locations on the opening edge portion.
　また、一対の収容部５の各々は、指を係止可能な指掛け部２８を有している。指掛け部２８は、各収容部５の開口縁部のうち、連結部３の対向位置（すなわち、係止突起２３又は係止孔２４の位置）の周辺に配置されており、本実施形態では補強部２１上に設けられている。各指掛け部２８は、指を挿通可能な大きさであって、補強部２１よりも少し幅の狭い横長の孔状（穴状）に形成されている。各指掛け部２８の孔形状は、開口縁部側が中央部ほど大きな穴になるように緩やかに湾曲し、その反対側が直線状に形成された、略部分円弧状に形成されている。
　なお、指掛け部２８は、一対の収容部５の両方に設けられていなくともよく、一対の収容部５の少なくとも一方に設けられていればよい。指掛け部２８の位置は、開口縁部周辺であれば特に限定されないが、連結部３の対向位置の周辺であるのが好ましい。指掛け部２８の形状は、指を係止可能であれば孔状に限定されず、例えば凹凸状（複数の小さな凹凸部を有するもの等を含む）であってもよい。また、その正面視形状等も本実施形態のものに限定されない。 Further, each of the pair of accommodating portions 5 has a finger hook portion 28 capable of locking a finger. The finger hook portion 28 is arranged around the facing position of the connecting portion 3 (that is, the position of the locking projection 23 or the locking hole 24) in the opening edge portion of each accommodating portion 5, and is reinforced in the present embodiment. It is provided on the portion 21. Each finger hook 28 has a size that allows a finger to be inserted, and is formed in a horizontally long hole shape (hole shape) that is slightly narrower than the reinforcing portion 21. The hole shape of each finger hook 28 is gently curved so that the opening edge side becomes a larger hole toward the center, and the opposite side is formed in a straight line, which is a substantially arcuate shape.
The finger hooks 28 do not have to be provided in both of the pair of accommodating portions 5, and may be provided in at least one of the pair of accommodating portions 5. The position of the finger hook portion 28 is not particularly limited as long as it is around the opening edge portion, but it is preferably around the opposite position of the connecting portion 3. The shape of the finger hook portion 28 is not limited to a hole shape as long as the finger can be locked, and may be, for example, an uneven shape (including one having a plurality of small uneven portions). Further, the front view shape and the like are not limited to those of the present embodiment.
＜２－２．玩具収容状態＞
　図８Ａは玩具収容状態の玩具用容器４の斜視図であり、図８Ｂは図８ＡのＨ－Ｈ線での玩具用容器４の断面図である。また、図９及び図１０は、図８Ａの矢印Ｊ及び矢印Ｋの方向から見た玩具用容器４の側面図である。
　玩具用容器４は、上記第１実施形態の玩具用容器１と同様に、成形状態から一対の収容部５の開口を互いに閉塞させることにより、玩具収容状態とされる。具体的には、図８～図１０に示すように、成形状態から、連結部３を屈曲させつつ、一対の収容部５の互いの開口縁部（鍔部２５）を合わせるようにして、当該一対の収容部５の開口を閉塞させる。こうして、玩具用容器４は、略球状の玩具収容状態とされる。このときには、一対の収容部５の内部の収容空間に商品（玩具）を収容しておく。 <2-2. Toy storage state>
FIG. 8A is a perspective view of the toy container 4 in the toy housing state, and FIG. 8B is a cross-sectional view of the toy container 4 taken along the line HH of FIG. 8A. 9 and 10 are side views of the toy container 4 as viewed from the directions of arrows J and K in FIG. 8A.
Similar to the toy container 1 of the first embodiment, the toy container 4 is brought into the toy accommodating state by closing the openings of the pair of accommodating portions 5 with each other from the molded state. Specifically, as shown in FIGS. 8 to 10, from the molded state, the connecting portions 3 are bent and the opening edges (flange portions 25) of the pair of accommodating portions 5 are aligned with each other. The openings of the pair of accommodating portions 5 are closed. In this way, the toy container 4 is in a substantially spherical toy storage state. At this time, the goods (toys) are stored in the storage space inside the pair of storage portions 5.
　そして、第１収容部５Ａの係止突起２３を、第２収容部５Ｂの鍔部２５を挟むようにして第２収容部５Ｂ側に屈曲させ、第２収容部５Ｂの係止孔２４内に挿し込む。このとき、係止突起２３は、フック部２３ａが係止孔２４に挿通されて収容空間内に入るまで挿し込まれる。これにより、係止突起２３のフック部２３ａが係止孔２４に係止され、一対の収容部５が開口を閉塞させた玩具収容状態が保持される。係止突起２３は、係止孔２４に挿入された状態では、一対の収容部５をリビングヒンジ状に連結している。 Then, the locking projection 23 of the first accommodating portion 5A is bent toward the second accommodating portion 5B so as to sandwich the flange portion 25 of the second accommodating portion 5B, and is inserted into the locking hole 24 of the second accommodating portion 5B. .. At this time, the locking projection 23 is inserted until the hook portion 23a is inserted into the locking hole 24 and enters the accommodation space. As a result, the hook portion 23a of the locking projection 23 is locked in the locking hole 24, and the toy accommodating state in which the pair of accommodating portions 5 close the opening is maintained. The locking projection 23 connects the pair of accommodating portions 5 in a living hinge shape when inserted into the locking hole 24.
　さらに、第２収容部５Ｂの２つのロック部２７を、基端部で第１収容部５Ａ側に屈曲させ、第１収容部５Ａの２つの係止凹部２６内に半径方向外側から挿し込むと、各ロック部２７が係止凹部２６に係止される。すなわち、各ロック部２７は、挿し込まれた係止凹部２６の先端側部分に半径方向に係止され、係止凹部２６から半径方向に脱落して伸長状態に戻ることが防がれる。また、各ロック部２７は、挿し込まれた係止凹部２６により、一対の収容部５が開く方向（図１０の上下方向）にも係止され、係止凹部２６から当該方向に脱落することが防がれる。これにより、一対の収容部５が開口を閉塞させた玩具収容状態がより強固に保持される。 Further, when the two lock portions 27 of the second accommodating portion 5B are bent toward the first accommodating portion 5A at the base end portion and inserted into the two locking recesses 26 of the first accommodating portion 5A from the outside in the radial direction. , Each lock portion 27 is locked in the locking recess 26. That is, each lock portion 27 is radially locked to the tip end side portion of the inserted locking recess 26, and is prevented from falling off from the locking recess 26 in the radial direction and returning to the extended state. Further, each lock portion 27 is also locked in the direction in which the pair of accommodating portions 5 are opened (vertical direction in FIG. 10) by the inserted locking recess 26, and falls off from the locking recess 26 in that direction. Is prevented. As a result, the toy accommodating state in which the pair of accommodating portions 5 close the openings is more firmly held.
　ユーザが玩具収容状態の玩具用容器４から商品（玩具）を取り出すときには、まず、一対の収容部５の２つの指掛け部２８に両手の指（例えば人差し指と中指の２本ずつ）を差し込む。そして、連結部３の対向位置から開くように一対の収容部５を両手で引き離して玩具用容器４を開放させればよい。玩具収容状態を保持する係止突起２３（又は連結部３）やロック部２７は紙製なので、指掛け部２８に指を掛けて力を込めて一対の収容部５を開くことで、比較的に簡単に破ることができる。
　あるいは、係止突起２３（又は連結部３）やロック部２７を個別に手で破って（千切って）玩具用容器４を開放させてもよい。係止突起２３（又は連結部３）やロック部２７には、破りやすくなるようにその側部に切込みを設けておいてもよい。 When the user takes out the product (toy) from the toy container 4 in the toy storage state, first, the fingers of both hands (for example, two fingers each of the index finger and the middle finger) are inserted into the two finger hooks 28 of the pair of storage parts 5. Then, the pair of accommodating portions 5 may be pulled apart by both hands so as to open from the opposite positions of the connecting portions 3, and the toy container 4 may be opened. Since the locking projection 23 (or connecting portion 3) and the locking portion 27 that hold the toy accommodating state are made of paper, it is relatively possible to open the pair of accommodating portions 5 by putting a finger on the finger hook portion 28 and exerting force. It can be easily broken.
Alternatively, the locking projection 23 (or the connecting portion 3) and the locking portion 27 may be individually torn (cut into pieces) to open the toy container 4. The locking projection 23 (or the connecting portion 3) or the locking portion 27 may be provided with a notch on the side portion thereof so as to be easily torn.
＜２－３．玩具用容器の製造方法＞
　玩具用容器４は、上記第１実施形態の玩具用容器１と同様の製造方法（製造工程）により製造される。 <2-3. Manufacturing method of toy container ＞
The toy container 4 is manufactured by the same manufacturing method (manufacturing process) as the toy container 1 of the first embodiment.
＜２－４．第２実施形態の技術的効果＞
　以上のように、第２実施形態によれば、上記第１実施形態と同様の効果を得ることができる。
　また、第２実施形態によれば、第２収容部５Ｂが屈曲可能なロック部２７を開口縁部に有し、第１収容部５Ａがロック部２７を係止可能な係止凹部２６を開口縁部に有する。
　これにより、一対の収容部５の開口縁部を合わせた状態でロック部２７を屈曲させて係止凹部２６に係止させることで、開口縁部の合わせ面に隙間ができるのを抑制して一対の収容部５を固定できる。したがって、紙製の一対の収容部５を好適に固定することができる。 <2-4. Technical effect of the second embodiment>
As described above, according to the second embodiment, the same effect as that of the first embodiment can be obtained.
Further, according to the second embodiment, the second accommodating portion 5B has a bendable lock portion 27 at the opening edge portion, and the first accommodating portion 5A opens a locking recess 26 capable of locking the lock portion 27. Have on the edge.
As a result, the lock portion 27 is bent and locked in the locking recess 26 in a state where the opening edges of the pair of accommodating portions 5 are aligned, thereby suppressing the formation of a gap in the mating surface of the opening edges. A pair of accommodating portions 5 can be fixed. Therefore, the pair of paper accommodating portions 5 can be suitably fixed.
　また、第２実施形態によれば、ロック部２７及び係止凹部２６の各々が、一対の収容部５それぞれの開口縁部のうち、連結部３の位置と当該連結部３の対向位置とを除く位置に複数（本実施形態では２つ）配置されている。
　これにより、開口縁部の合わせ面に隙間ができるのをより確実に抑制し、一対の収容部５をより好適に固定できる。 Further, according to the second embodiment, each of the locking portion 27 and the locking recess 26 sets the position of the connecting portion 3 and the facing position of the connecting portion 3 among the opening edges of each of the pair of accommodating portions 5. A plurality of (two in this embodiment) are arranged at the positions other than the above.
As a result, it is possible to more reliably suppress the formation of a gap on the mating surface of the opening edge portion, and to more preferably fix the pair of accommodating portions 5.
　また、第２実施形態によれば、一対の収容部５の少なくとも一方が、指を係止可能な指掛け部２８を開口縁部周辺に有する。
　これにより、玩具収容状態の玩具用容器４において、当該指掛け部２８に指を掛けて一対の収容部５を引き離すことで、玩具用容器４を容易に開放できる。 Further, according to the second embodiment, at least one of the pair of accommodating portions 5 has a finger hook portion 28 on which a finger can be locked around the opening edge portion.
As a result, in the toy container 4 in the toy accommodating state, the toy container 4 can be easily opened by hooking a finger on the finger hook portion 28 and pulling the pair of accommodating portions 5 apart.
　また、第２実施形態によれば、指掛け部２８が収容部５の開口縁部のうち連結部３の対向位置の周辺に配置されているので、連結部３を支点として一対の収容部５が開く方向に力を加えやすく、玩具用容器４をより容易に開放できる。
［３．変形例］
　なお、本発明を適用可能な実施形態は、上述した実施形態に限定されることなく、本発明の趣旨を逸脱しない範囲で適宜変更可能である。 Further, according to the second embodiment, since the finger hook portion 28 is arranged around the opposite position of the connecting portion 3 in the opening edge portion of the accommodating portion 5, the pair of accommodating portions 5 are arranged with the connecting portion 3 as a fulcrum. It is easy to apply force in the opening direction, and the toy container 4 can be opened more easily.
[3. Modification example]
The embodiment to which the present invention can be applied is not limited to the above-described embodiment, and can be appropriately changed without departing from the spirit of the present invention.
　例えば、上記実施形態では、一対の収容部２、５の各々が略半球状であることとしたが、当該一対の収容部２、５は互いに組み合わさって収容空間を画成するものであれば、その形状は特に限定されない。例えば、各収容部２、５が半球状ではない凹状に形成されていてもよいし、一方の収容部２、５が大きな収容空間を有し、他方の収容部２、５がその開口を閉塞する蓋状であってもよい。
　また、一対の収容部２、５は、ヒンジで連結されていない別体のものであってもよい。
For example, in the above embodiment, each of the pair of accommodating portions 2 and 5 is substantially hemispherical, but if the pair of accommodating portions 2 and 5 are combined with each other to define an accommodating space. , The shape is not particularly limited.
