Background

Conventionally, there is known a block toy which a child combines a plurality of block-shaped members to assemble various toys such as animals and vehicles to play.

In recent years, as a block toy assembled to a bottom plate, a block toy including a base portion and a gear, the gear being rotatable with respect to the base portion, has been proposed. In the case of such a block toy including the pedestal portion and the gear, it is desirable that the gear has a small rotational resistance to the rotation of the pedestal portion and is less likely to cause malfunction.

In response to such a demand, a gear toy in which a magnetic body is incorporated in a shaft portion has been proposed (see patent document 1).

The gear toy described in patent document 1 includes a plurality of gear bodies that mesh with each other, and a rotation shaft member that is provided at a rotation center of each gear body and rotatably supports the gear body. The rotating shaft member is attached to the magnetically attractable surface by being magnetically attracted to the magnetically attractable surface, and the magnetically attractable surface is a magnetic body that can be magnetically attracted by the magnet.

Thus, the gear body can be disposed at an arbitrary position by being magnetically attracted to the planar magnetic body via the rotating shaft member.

Detailed Description

[ embodiments of the invention ]

Fig. 1 shows an example of a play field 100 in which a block toy 10 according to an embodiment of the present invention is used. In this playground 100, a plurality of block toys 10 are assembled to a base plate 101 to form a playground in which, for example, a windmill 102 or a ferris wheel 103 rotates.

As shown in fig. 2 and 3, a block toy 10 according to an embodiment of the present invention includes: a base 20 assembled to the bottom plate 101; and a rotating portion 30 that is connected to the base portion 20 and is rotatable. In the following description, as shown in fig. 2, the rotating portion 30 side is referred to as "upper" and the pedestal portion 20 side is referred to as "lower".

The base portion 20 has a cubic box shape, has an upper plate 21 and 4 side walls 22 extending downward from the peripheral edge portion of the upper plate 21, and is open downward. As shown in fig. 4, an engaging recess 23 is formed below the upper plate 21 of the pedestal portion 20 and inside the side wall 22, and is capable of engaging with a projection 104 (indicated by a two-dot chain line in fig. 4) provided on the bottom plate 101 and an engaging projection 36 (see fig. 7) provided on another block toy.

When the toy building 10 is mounted on the bottom plate 101, the entire inner side of the pedestal portion 20 is defined as the engaging recessed portion 23, and the four corners of the pedestal portion 20 are brought into contact with the protruding portions 104 of the bottom plate 101.

Thus, the block toy 10 is detachably attached to the bottom plate 101 (see fig. 9).

A cylindrical shaft portion 24 protruding upward is provided at the center of the upper plate 21 of the base portion 20.

As shown in fig. 2 and 3, the rotating portion 30 includes a main body portion 31 having a circular shape in plan view, and a plurality of protruding portions 32 radially formed from the circumferential surface of the main body portion 31. An engagement space 37 into which the protruding portion 32 is fitted is formed between adjacent protruding portions 32. In the rotating portion 30, the outer edge portion 311 of the main body portion 31 may be located inside an inscribed circle R (located on the pedestal portion 20) in a plan view of the pedestal portion 20, and the tip portion 321 of the protruding portion 32 may be located outside the inscribed circle R (located outside on the pedestal portion 20). The mark 35 is provided near the outer edge 311 of the body 31 on the upper surface of the rotating portion 30.

As shown in fig. 4, the body 31 has a rotation center line (rotation center) CL at the center, and a cylindrical portion 33 (engagement portion 33) projecting downward along the rotation center line CL. The cylindrical portion 33 (engagement portion 33) has a step portion 331 near the upper end portion, and has an internal space having a T-shape as a whole. The cylindrical portion 33 (engaging portion 33) is fitted around the shaft portion 24 provided on the upper surface of the base portion 20, and the screw 25 is screwed into the shaft portion 24.

At this time, the lower end surface (distal end surface) 332 of the cylindrical portion 33 (engaging portion 33) is in contact with the upper plate 21 of the base portion 20, and the stepped portion 331 is located below the upper end surface 241 of the shaft portion 24. Therefore, even if the screw 25 is tightened, the screw 25 does not contact the stepped portion 331. A narrow gap S that expands downward is provided between the outer peripheral surface of the shaft portion 24 and the inner peripheral surface of the tube portion 33 (engagement portion 33).

Thus, after the screw 25 is screwed into the shaft 24, the rotating portion 30 is attached to the base portion 20 so as to be rotatable in the clockwise direction and the counterclockwise direction and not to be detached.

Further, since the cylindrical portion 33 (the engaging portion 33) moves in the gap S and a slight gap between the step portion 331 and the screw 25, the rotating portion 30 is supported by: the base 20 can slightly swing in the separating direction while maintaining the state in which at least a part of the opposing surface 34 opposing the base 20 is separated from the base 20.

As shown in fig. 6, a bottom surface of the rotating portion 30, that is, a distal end portion 342 of the opposing surface 34 opposing the base portion 20, which is on the opposite side of the rotation center line CL from a proximal end portion 341 of the surface, is spaced apart from the base portion 20. That is, the lower surface of the body portion 31 is close to the pedestal portion 20 or in contact with the pedestal portion 20, and the lower surface of the protrusion portion 32 is distant from the upper surface of the pedestal portion 20 as it goes toward the tip end. Here, the lower surface of the protruding portion 32 is inclined so as to linearly separate from the upper surface of the pedestal portion 20 as it goes toward the tip (angle θ 1).

Further, the upper surface 324, which is a plane of the protruding portion 32 on the side opposite to the base portion 20, may be inclined with respect to the base portion 20 (angle θ 2) from the base end portion 325 on the side of the body portion 31 toward the tip end portion 326 on the side opposite to the body portion 31 (from the vicinity of the tip end portion of the protruding portion 32 toward the tip end portion). Thereby, the upper surface 324 of the protrusion 32 approaches the pedestal portion 20 as it goes toward the tip.

Also, the relationship between the angle θ 1 and the angle θ 2 is preferably θ 1 > θ 2. By configuring the rotating portions 30 so as to maintain such a relationship, when the block toy 10 attached to the base plate 101 is arranged in the direction orthogonal to the base plate 101 as shown in fig. 10, a region where the protruding portions of both the block toys 10 are engaged with each other can be secured, and the frictional force between the rotating portions 30 and the base portion 20 is less likely to be generated.

As shown in fig. 4 and 5, the rotating portion 30 has an opening formed in at least a part of the opposing surface 34 opposing the pedestal portion 20. Here, a body opening 313 is provided in the body 31 between the outer peripheral surface of the cylindrical portion 33 (engaging portion 33) and a body opening edge 312 provided along the outer edge 311 of the body 31. A protrusion opening 323 is provided inside the protrusion 32 and inside a protrusion opening edge 322 provided downward along the outer shape of the protrusion 32. The body portion opening edge 312 can be in contact with the upper surface of the base portion 20, and the protruding portion opening edge 322 is spaced apart from the upper surface of the base portion 20.

Next, a modified example of the block toy 10 of the present embodiment will be described. Parts common to the above-described block toy 10 are denoted by the same reference numerals, and redundant description thereof is omitted.

As shown in fig. 7 and 8, in the block toy 11 according to the modified example, an engaging convex portion 36 is provided on the upper surface of the rotating portion 30 on the side opposite to the base portion 20. The engaging protrusion 36 has a shape and a size corresponding to the engaging recess 23 provided in another block toy, and can engage with the engaging recess 23 provided in another block toy.

For example, the engaging convex portion 36 has a regular hexagonal shape and is provided on the body portion 31 of the rotating portion 30 around the rotation center line CL. The engaging concave portion 23 of the base portion 20 is provided with an engaging portion 27 having a shape and a size to be fitted with the engaging convex portion 36. Thus, the engaging convex portion 36 can be fitted and connected to the engaging portion 27.

As shown in fig. 9, the block toys 10 and 11 are detachably attached by fitting the engaging concave portion 23 formed inside the pedestal portion 20 into the convex portion 104 of the bottom plate 101. When the block toys 10 and 11 are attached to the bottom plate 101, the side walls 22 of the pedestal portions 20 of the adjacent block toys 10 and 11 are attached so as to slightly contact each other or to be spaced apart by a slight gap.

And the projection 32 of one of the rotary parts 30 of each of the block toys 10, 11 is caused to enter the engagement space 37 of the other. Thus, when one block toy 10, 11 rotates, the other block toy 11, 10 also rotates.

As shown in fig. 10, the block toys 10 and 11 attached to the bottom plate 101 may be arranged in a direction orthogonal to the bottom plate 101 so that the block toys 10 and 11 are engaged with each other. In this case, a member perpendicular to the bottom plate 101 and having the projection 104, for example, a member such as the wall member 105 shown in fig. 1 is required.

As shown in fig. 1, a plurality of block toys 10 and 11 are disposed on a base plate 101 so as to mesh with each other, and the block toys 10 and 11 provided on a windmill 102 and a ferris wheel 103 are meshed with each other to assemble a play field 100. Then, if the handle 106 is turned, the rotary portions 30 of the respective block toys 10 and 11 are rotated, and the wind turbine 102 and the ferris wheel 103 can be rotated.

In the block toy 10 according to the present embodiment described above, at least a part of the facing surface 34 of the rotating portion 30 rotatably supported by the base portion 20, which faces the base portion 20, is separated from the base portion 20.

Therefore, when the rotating portion 30 rotates, no frictional force is generated between the rotating portion and the pedestal portion 20, and thus a block toy that is light in operating force and less likely to cause malfunction can be provided.

In the block toy 10 according to the present embodiment, the shaft portion 24 provided on the base portion 20 so as to protrude along the rotation center line CL is engaged with the cylindrical portion 33 (engaging portion 33) of the rotating portion 30 in a nested manner, and the rotating portion 30 is rotatably attached to the base portion 20. At this time, the lower end surface 332 of the cylindrical portion 33 (engaging portion 33) contacts the pedestal portion 20.

Therefore, the portion of the rotating portion 30 other than the cylindrical portion 33 (engaging portion 33) can be separated from the pedestal portion 20.

In the block toy 10 according to the present embodiment, the distal end portion 342 of the rotating portion 30 on the opposite side of the rotation center line CL from the proximal end portion 341 of the rotating portion is spaced apart from the base portion 20.

Therefore, when the rotating portion 30 rotates, no frictional force is generated between the rotating portion and the pedestal portion 20, and thus a block toy that is light in operating force and less likely to cause malfunction can be provided.

In the block toy 10 according to the present embodiment, the rotating portion 30 is separated from the base portion 20 so as to be inclined with respect to the base portion 20 from the base end portion 341 toward the tip end portion 342 (from the vicinity of the tip end portion of the protruding portion 32 toward the tip end portion).

Therefore, when the rotating portion 30 rotates, no frictional force is generated between the rotating portion and the pedestal portion 20, and thus a block toy that is light in operating force and less likely to cause malfunction can be provided.

In the block toy 10 according to the present embodiment, the rotary part 30 is rotatable in the clockwise direction and the counterclockwise direction with respect to the base part 20.

In the block toy 10 according to the present embodiment, the rotating portion 30 can rotate while maintaining the state in which at least a part of the opposing surface 34 is separated from the pedestal portion 20. Further, since the cylindrical portion 33 (the engaging portion 33) is swingable in the direction of separation with respect to the base portion 20 by moving in the gap S and a slight gap between the stepped portion 331 and the screw 25, it is possible for a person who has difficulty in strictly arranging the block toy, such as a child, to rotate the rotating portion 30 within the swingable range and enjoy the block toy 10.

In the block toy 10 according to the present embodiment, the rotating portion 30 has an opening formed in at least a part of the opposing surface 34 that faces the pedestal portion 20.

Therefore, the weight and cost of the rotating portion 30 can be reduced, and the sliding resistance can be reduced by reducing the friction surface with the pedestal portion 20.

In the block toy 10 according to the present embodiment, the body portion opening edge 312 of the body portion 31 of the rotating portion 30 can be in contact with the pedestal portion 20, and therefore the rotating portion 30 can be rotatably supported.

Further, since the protrusion opening edge 322 of the protrusion 32 is separated from the base portion 20, the sliding resistance during rotation can be reduced.

In the block toy 10 according to the present embodiment, the outer edge portion 311 of the main body portion 31 may be positioned inside the inscribed circle R (on the pedestal portion 20) of the pedestal portion 20 in a plan view, and the tip portion 321 of the protruding portion 32 may be positioned outside the inscribed circle R (on the pedestal portion 20) with respect to the rotating portion 30.

Thus, the rotating parts 30 can be engaged with each other when the block toy 10 is installed in an adjacent manner.

In the block toy 10 according to the present embodiment, the upper surface 324 of the protruding portion 32 on the side opposite to the pedestal portion 20 is inclined with respect to the pedestal portion 20 as going from the base end 325 on the side of the body portion 31 to the tip end 326 on the side opposite to the body portion 31 (from the vicinity of the tip end of the protruding portion 32 to the tip end).

Therefore, when other block toys are stacked and connected to the block toy 10, friction can be reduced and engagement can be performed smoothly.

In the block toy 10 of the present embodiment, the pedestal portion 20 has the engaging recessed portion 23 provided on the side opposite to the rotating portion 30, and the engaging recessed portion 23 can be engaged with the engaging protruding portion 36 provided on the other block toy 10.

Therefore, the block toy 10 and other block toys having the engaging convex portions corresponding to the engaging convex portions 36 can be stacked and connected in the vertical direction.

In the block toy 11 of the present embodiment, the rotating portion 30 is provided with an engaging convex portion 36 on the side opposite to the pedestal portion 20, which is engageable with an engaging concave portion 23 provided in the other block toy 10 or 11.

Therefore, the block toys 10 and 11 and other block toys having the engaging recessed portions corresponding to the engaging recessed portions 23 can be stacked and connected.

In the block toys 10 and 11 according to the present embodiment, the engaging recessed portion 23 and the engaging projecting portion 36 have shapes and sizes corresponding to each other.

Thus, the block toys 10, 11 can be stacked and connected.

In the block toy 10 according to the present embodiment, the rotary portion 30 is provided with the mark 35 on the side opposite to the pedestal portion 20.

Therefore, the state in which the rotating portion 30 is rotating can be easily visually recognized.

The block toy 10 of the present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiments, and can be modified and improved as appropriate.
