Description

[Detailed description of the invention] The present invention relates to a diorama toy, and in particular, a diorama body is integrally stored in a trunk-shaped storage container, and at least a part of a three-dimensional object formed on the surface of the diorama body is The gist is that the protruding parts of mountains, trees, etc. are provided in a foldable manner, and that the protruding parts stand up when the diorama is used, while the protruding parts are folded onto the surface of the diorama body when the diorama is stored, which makes it convenient to carry. The purpose of the present invention is to propose a diorama toy that has a large protective effect on the diorama surface and can effectively express the three-dimensional space of the diorama.

Hereinafter, one embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

In the figure, reference numeral A indicates a diorama toy according to the present invention, and this diorama toy A has a diorama body 2 integrally stored in a trunk-shaped storage container 1, and a three-dimensional object formed on the surface of the diorama body 2. 3
Projections 4, 4, such as mountains or trees, are provided on at least a portion of the structure so as to be foldable.

First, the diorama body 1 is made by molding uneven objects that imitate natural objects such as mountains, valleys, and trees using synthetic resin in the same way as normal diorama toys. All or part of the protruding parts 4 are formed to be foldable.

Note that the above-mentioned natural object imitation irregularities are not limited to those that are directly colored, but may have a structure in which, for example, a seal material or a photograph printed on the surface is pasted on the surface of the diorama body. In addition, on the surface of the diorama body,
For example, a play surface such as a running track for running toys may be formed.

The diorama body 1 is stored in a storage container 1. This container 1 has a main body 1a and a lid 1b attached to a hinge 1.
0, and is equipped with a handle 11 so that it can be rotated to open and close.

Next, the diorama body 2 is formed with protrusions 3 such as mountains, trees, rocks, etc. that protrude from the surface of the diorama body, and a part 4 or all of these protrusions 3 are foldable with respect to the diorama body 2. It is formed. The folding of the protrusion 4 is achieved by making it rotatable via a hinge 12 provided at the base of the protrusion 4. The protrusion 4 rotates upward around the hinge 12 to be raised and protrudes onto the surface of the diorama body 2, whereas the protrusion 4 in the upright state rotates downward around the hinge 12. By folding it, it is placed upside down on the surface of the diorama body 2. A magnet 14 is attached to the surface 13 on the falling side of the protrusion 4, and a magnetic metal plate 15 is attached to the surface side of the diorama body, so that when the protrusion 4 is folded down, the magnet 14 and the metal plate 15 are attached to each other. Because of the adsorption force, the protrusion 4 cannot be easily removed from the surface of the diorama body. Therefore, even if the container is handled somewhat roughly, the protrusion is unlikely to be damaged by the impact. Note that this is particularly effective when the protruding portion 3 protrudes more than the lid surface of the storage container 1 when the lid is closed when it is erected.

Note that this configuration for preventing the protrusion 4 from separating from the surface of the diorama body is not limited to the one that utilizes the above-mentioned magnetic attraction. For example, a planar adhesive tape (trade name: Magic Tape) may be used, or engaging portions that engage with each other may be provided on the protruding portion 4 and the surface of the diorama, and their engagement will cause them to separate. may be prevented.

Further, the folding structure of the protrusion 4 is not necessarily limited to one that forms an integrated mountain, tree, etc. when one protrusion 4 rotates and stands up on the surface of the diorama body. For example, as shown in FIG. 4a, the integral protrusion 4 is divided into a portion 4a and a portion 4b,
Hinges 12 and 1 are attached to the surface of the diorama body 2, respectively.
It may also be foldably attached via 2a. In addition, as shown in FIG.
It may be divided into two parts and rotatably attached via hinges 12a, 12b, and then bent twice to form an integrated mountain, tree, etc.

Further, the folding side surface 13 of the protrusion 4 and the receiving surface of the diorama body 2 that receives this surface may not be flat. As shown in Figure 4a, one side 13 is a convex surface and the other side 1
6 may be a concave surface, or both may be concave surfaces.

The diorama body 2 may store a part of the storage container, and the remaining portion of the storage container may be used as a storage space for other toys, props, accessories, etc. Moreover, although the above illustrated example shows a diorama imitating a natural object, it is of course applicable to various background objects depending on the purpose of use.

As mentioned above, the diorama toy according to the present invention is very convenient to carry because the diorama body is stored in a trunk case-shaped storage container.
Since it is protected from external forces, accidents such as damage are less likely to occur. Further, when the diorama body is not in use, the protruding portion is folded and placed upside down on the surface of the diorama, so there is no problem in closing the container, and the container itself can be made compact. On the other hand, when using the diorama body, the protrusions can be raised to form a more three-dimensional diorama space.

Claims (1)

[Scope of claims for utility model registration] A diorama toy characterized by meeting the following requirements. (b) The diorama body must be stored integrally in a portable storage container. (b) At least part of the three-dimensional object formed on the surface of the diorama body should be provided with a protruding part such as a mountain or tree so that it can be folded freely. (c) When the diorama is used, the protrusion is made to stand up, but when the diorama is stored, the protrusion is folded onto the surface of the diorama body.
