Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Industrial Application Field] The present invention relates to a #7'-thermal toy using a ceramic heater that takes advantage of the insulating properties of ceramics.

[Prior Art and Problems to be Solved] Children have traditionally enjoyed heating toys that change color or shape by heating color-changing materials or shape-memory members with a heater.

However, heaters used in conventional heating toys, especially heaters that use a resistor that generates heat when energized, use nichrome wire, which is troublesome to insulate, and is prone to overheating. Therefore, there are problems that require a control circuit to control the temperature, and we have created a heater that solves these problems! J-Thermal toys were in demand.

[Means for Solving the Problems] Therefore, in the present invention, the heater wiring portion is made of ceramic and is attached to the main body of the toy that is to be heated or heated, such as a scissor toy, a stamp toy, a stuffed animal toy, or a comb toy. This is an attempt to solve the above problem by adopting a configuration in which heaters are combined.
