Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a paper toy, and more particularly, to a plastic joint which combines paper toy components, such as a head, arms, legs, and a trunk, so that the assembled paper toy can make various motions.
  • Assemblable paper toys are completed by cutting or taking off printed components from a model cardboard and combining the components according to a user manual. Assemblable paper toys were developed for children in the past, but recently more complicated ones have been developed for adults. Such an assemblable paper toy kit includes model cardboards bound up in one volume and a user manual. A user can simply construct a high-perfection paper toy (for example, a vehicle such as an airplane, a ship, or a car; a building; an insect; an animal; or a robot) by folding, gluing, or mating paper components. A paper toy is helpful to increase creativity, and a person is rarely injured during assemblage of the paper toy.
