Invent the problem to be solved

Although the above-mentioned conventional technology can be easily assembled, it is difficult to attract interest in assembling multiple components and to create a desire to assemble more complex components. For example, in the above-mentioned Patent Document 1, assembly can be almost completed simply by bending a gate connecting two adjacent main components to each other. In this regard, although it is easy to assemble since there is no need to disconnect accessories, the assembly is too simple and it is difficult to be interested in the assembly itself. In addition, Patent Document 2 provides an interesting educational toy in which each of the accessories can be locked by overlapping a plurality of accessories and inserting a rod-shaped support member. However, since each component is assembled together by inserting the supporting member, it is impossible to feel the fun and sense of achievement of completing the steps of assembling multiple components, and it is unable to create the enthusiasm to challenge more difficult assembly toys. With such conventional technology, it is impossible to feel the joy of assembling plastic models and the like, and it is impossible to obtain a promotional effect for the next toy.

An object of the present invention is to provide, for example, a structure that can be easily assembled and that makes the assembly step more interesting.

Two or more features among the features described in the embodiments may be arbitrarily combined. In addition, the same or similar structures are denoted by the same reference numerals, and repeated descriptions are omitted.

＜Appearance of assembled toys＞

First, an example of the appearance structure of the assembly toy 100 according to this embodiment will be described with reference to FIG. 1 . (a) of FIG. 1 shows the front appearance of the assembly toy 100, and (b) of FIG. 1 shows the side appearance of the assembly toy 100. In addition, arrows pointing up and down, left and right, and front and back indicate the direction of the assembled toy in the drawings, and the same applies to other drawings.

The assembly toy (figure toy) 100 represents the final assembly after assembly. The assembly toy 100 includes a main body 101, and the main body 101 is configured to include left and right eyes 102a, 102b, a mouth 103, and left and right cheeks 104a, 104b. As shown in the appearance side view of FIG. 1( b ), the main body 101 is configured by combining a front member 101 a as a first assembly member and a back member 101 b as a second assembly member. In addition, in the present embodiment, an example is described in which the housing and the like of the assembled toy 100 are constituted by two assembly members. However, the present invention is not intended to be limited thereto. For example, an assembly toy may be constructed by combining one assembly member with a primary assembly 200 described below, or a plurality of assembly members may be combined with a primary assembly 200 described below to constitute an assembly toy.

In addition, as shown in FIG. 1(a) , the eyes 102a and 102b, the mouth 103, and the cheeks 104a and 104b can be confirmed on the surface of the front member 101a. However, the front member 101a itself only has openings along the outer shapes of the eyes 102a, 102b, the mouth 103, and the cheeks 104a, 104b. By fitting other members into the respective openings, the eyes 102a, 102b, and the mouth 103 are formed. and cheeks 104a, 104b. In addition, other components that can be visually confirmed from each opening are parts of the primary assembly 200 described below. Since they are embedded from the inside of the front member 101a and covered by the front member 101a and the back member 101b, they cannot be viewed from the outside. confirm.

＜Assembly structure of final assembly＞

Next, the assembly structure of the assembly toy 100 of this embodiment will be described with reference to FIG. 2 . FIG. 2 shows an exploded view of the assembly toy 100 .

Openings 112a, 112b, 113, 114a, and 114b are formed in the front member 101a. Reference numeral 200 represents a primary assembly, and protrusions (not shown) are respectively embedded in corresponding hole portions of the front member 101a along dotted lines. In a state where the primary assembly 200 is embedded, parts of the primary assembly 200 are exposed from the openings 112a, 112b, 113, 114a, and 114b, and the front eyes 102a, 102b, and mouth 103 of the self-assembled toy 100 can be visually inspected. and cheeks 104a, 104b. The primary assembly 200 is a component assembled in the first stage when assembling the assembly toy 100 which is the final assembly. In this way, the assembly toy 100 of this embodiment includes the primary assembly 200 as one component. If the primary assembly 200 is not assembled correctly, the assembly toy 100 will not be assembled correctly. In addition, the details of the primary assembly 200 will be described later using FIG. 3 , and its assembly structure will be described later using FIG. 4 .

＜Appearance of primary assembly＞

Next, the appearance structure of the primary assembly 200 of this embodiment will be described with reference to FIG. 3 . FIG. 3( a ) shows the rear surface of the primary assembly 200 , and FIG. 3( b ) shows the front surface of the primary assembly 200 .

As shown in FIG. 3(a) , members 122a, 122b, 123, and 124a respectively corresponding to the openings 112a, 112b, 113, 114a, and 114b shown in FIG. 2 are provided on the back surface of the assembled primary assembly 200. ,124b. In addition, protrusions 125a, 125b, and 125c for assembly to the front member 101a are provided on the back surface of the primary assembly 200. When the primary assembly 200 is combined with the front member 101a, the members 122a, 122b, 123, 124a, and 124b are respectively exposed from the openings 112a, 112b, 113, 114a, and 114b on the front of the assembly toy 100. The exposed members 122a and 122b respectively form the left and right eyes 102a and 102b of the assembled toy 100, the member 123 forms the mouth 103 of the assembled toy 100, and the members 124a and 124b form the left and right cheeks 104a and 104b of the assembled toy 100. In this way, according to this embodiment, part of the primary assembly 200 constitutes a part of the assembled toy. If the primary assembly 200 composed of a plurality of parts is not assembled correctly, the part of the primary assembly 200 cannot be formed correctly, and It cannot be exposed correctly from each opening. In other words, the assembly toy 100 cannot be assembled correctly.

As shown in FIG. 3( b ), predetermined object models 201 to 205 are formed on the front surface of the assembled primary assembly 200 . Here, the "model of a specified object" refers to a member that materializes a specific design, such as an object, a figure, a character, a symbol, a pattern, etc. that can be recognized by the assembling user. That is, the model of the predetermined object in this embodiment is a component composed of a plurality of accessories that is assembled during the assembly of the assembled toy, but it does not constitute a meaningful waist or joint of a humanoid body by itself, for example. Different from each other, it is a component that materializes the specified object completed by its single body. In this embodiment, these models represent tomatoes 201, candies 202, sugar balls 203, apples 204, and rice balls 205, for example. These models 201 to 205 are examples of models representing predetermined objects, and are not particularly limited, and may represent various other objects. The models 201 to 205 of these prescribed objects are formed when the primary assembly 200 is correctly assembled, that is, they do not appear unless they are correctly assembled. Therefore, the user who assembles the assembly toy 100 can confirm that the assembly steps up to this point have been correctly performed by forming the models 201 to 205 of the above-mentioned prescribed objects. In addition, young people and the like can also perform the assembly steps in the assembly step. You can gain a sense of accomplishment in the middle stage and be interested in the assembly steps. In addition, in this embodiment, the example in which there is only one such primary assembly has been described, but a plurality of primary assemblies may be provided. As a result, even if it is an assembled toy that includes more complex parts and more parts, the assembling user can easily complete the assembled toy by repeatedly combining a small number of parts.

＜Assembly structure of primary assembly＞

Next, the assembly structure of the primary assembly 200 of this embodiment will be described with reference to FIG. 4 . FIG. 4 is an exploded view of primary assembly 200 .

As shown in FIG. 4 , the primary assembly 200 includes a plurality of accessories 401 to 404 . The plurality of accessories 401 to 404 are combined along the directions of the dotted arrows. Each accessory includes a part of the models 201 to 205 of the specified object explained using FIG. 3(b) , and does not represent any one of the models 201 to 205 of the specified object by one accessory. That is, only after the plurality of accessories 401 to 404 are correctly assembled, the models 201 to 205 of the prescribed objects can be formed. Accordingly, the user does not assemble the toy 100 with awareness at the beginning, but can assemble the models 201 to 205 of smaller-scale predetermined objects, and can easily perform the assembly work.

＜Relationship between primary assembly and final assembly＞

Next, the relationship between the preliminary assembly 200 of this embodiment and the assembly toy 100 as the final assembly will be described with reference to FIG. 5 . (a) of FIG. 5 shows the final assembly steps of the assembly toy 100, and (b) of FIG. 5 shows the appearance of the rear surface of the assembly toy 100 after assembly.

As shown in FIG. 5(a) , first, the protrusions 125a, 125b, and 125c provided on the back surface of the primary assembly 200 are inserted into the corresponding holes from the inside of the front member 101a, thereby combining the two components. In this state, the front surface of the primary assembly 200 is not in contact with the back side of the front member 101a and is thus exposed. Then, with the primary assembly 200 embedded in the front member 101a, the back member 101b and the front member 101a are finally combined. Thus, the final assembly of the assembly toy 100 shown in FIG. 1 is completed. In addition, in this embodiment, the front member 101a and the back member 101b are combined to form the main body of the spherical assembly toy. In addition, at least part of the spherical main body is hollow, and in the hollow, the front surface of the primary assembly 200, that is, the models 201 to 205 of the prescribed objects are exposed. However, as shown in FIG. 5B , in the assembled assembly toy 100 , the primary assembly 200 is covered by the front member 101 a and the back member 101 b, and has a structure that cannot be confirmed from the outside. In this way, since the preliminary assembly 200 is included inside the assembly toy 100 , even if a model is formed with a predetermined object unrelated to the assembly toy 100 , an unnatural feeling will not be caused in the final assembly of the assembly toy 100 .

As described above, the assembly toy of this embodiment includes: a primary assembly that is assembled from a plurality of parts as one component of the assembly toy; and an assembly member that is combined with the primary assembly to form a final assembly of the assembly toy. , when multiple components are correctly assembled, the primary assembly forms a model of the specified object. In addition, if a plurality of parts are not assembled correctly, the model of the above-mentioned specified object cannot be accurately formed, and it cannot function as one part of the assembled toy. Therefore, the user does not initially assemble the assembly toy 100 as a final assembly, but can assemble the smaller-scale primary assembly 200 , and can easily perform the assembly work. In addition, the user can gain a sense of accomplishment by correctly assembling the model of the predetermined object, and can confirm that the assembly steps up to this point have been correctly performed. Thus, according to this embodiment, it is possible to provide a structure that can be easily assembled and that makes the assembly step more interesting.

＜Modification＞

The present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiment, and various modifications and changes are possible within the scope of the spirit of the invention. In the above embodiment, the structure in which the primary assembly 200 is covered by the front member 101a and the back member 101b and is completely hidden has been explained. In addition, for young people and the like, after finally assembling the assembly toy, they may want to reconfirm the preliminary assembly 200 assembled in the process. In order to meet such expectations, a peephole can also be provided in a part of the shell of the assembled toy. Details are explained using Figure 6 .

FIG. 6(a) shows a modified example of the assembly toy provided with a peephole. As shown in FIG. 6(a) , a peep hole 601 is provided in a part of the back member 600 . The shape and size of the peephole 601 are not particularly limited, and any shape or size may be applied. The user peeks into the assembly toy through the peep hole 601 and can confirm the front surface of the primary assembly 200 , that is, the models 201 to 205 of the predetermined objects.

In addition, (b) of FIG. 6 shows a modification in which a part of the member is formed of a transparent member instead of the above-mentioned peephole 601. As shown in the figure, the back member 610 is formed of a transparent member (it may be a translucent member), so that the front surface of the primary assembly 200, that is, the models 201 to 205 of the prescribed objects can be confirmed. Furthermore, an example is shown in which the entire back member 610 is formed of a transparent member. However, this is not intended to limit the present invention. For example, only part of the back member 610 may be formed of a transparent member.

In this way, by providing a peephole in part of the back member and molding at least part of the back member from a transparent member, the primary assembly 200 completed in the middle of the assembly step can be confirmed even after the assembly toy is assembled.

In addition, the shape of the assembly toy is not particularly limited and includes various shapes such as humans, animals, robots, insects, and dinosaurs.
