Description

Regarding the technology of toys that imitate trains.

Trains are very popular vehicles for small children, and toys that imitate the trains are also very popular for small children.
As toys that imitate trains, a wide variety of toys have been developed and are being offered on the market, from those that faithfully reproduce the outer shape of a real train to those that are slightly deformed.

However, the conventional train toys have a problem that the more faithfully they reproduce the real thing, the more complicated the structure becomes, and as a result, the selling price in the market becomes expensive.

In addition, since the expected usage environment of conventional train toys is often indoors, there is a problem that they are often broken when used outdoors, especially in sandboxes where small children often play.

Further, conventional train toys are mostly sold in a completed state, and there is also a problem that the purchaser (user) cannot enjoy the fun of assembling the toys.

Therefore, in view of the above problems, in the present invention, by simplifying the structure, a train that is hard to break even if a small child plays outdoors, can be supplied at a reasonable price, and can enjoy the assembly process. The purpose is to provide toys.

One form of the disclosed train toy is a train toy having an outer body portion, an inner main body portion, and a connecting portion, and imitating the outer shape of the train, and the outer side portion of the main body is illustrated. By folding and assembling according to the creases in the figure, it becomes a box shape that becomes the exterior of the train toy, and at the same time, it is a part where the pattern of the train desired by the user is printed on the front surface or the back surface, and the inner part of the main body is a box. It is a core member to be loaded inside the outer portion of the main body formed in a shape, and the connecting portion is arranged at the front end portion and the rear end portion of the outer portion of the main body formed in a box shape, and the upper surface is a male portion. It is composed of a surface fastener whose lower surface is a female part, and by engaging the male part of one train toy with the female part of another train toy, one train toy and another train toy can be engaged with each other. It is characterized by connecting with the train toy.

By simplifying the structure of the disclosed train toys, small children can play outdoors without breaking, can be supplied at a reasonable price, and can enjoy the assembly process.
