Finally, the screw portion 15a1 of the lid portion main body 15a of the lid portion 15 is attached to the screw portion 11f of the container portion 11 to close the opening 11b of the container portion 11. This completes the assembly of the ornamental toy 10 shown in FIG.

<< Example of how to use ornamental toys >>
Next, an example of how to use the ornamental toy 10 shown in FIG. 1 will be described with reference to FIGS. 8 to 16 with an action and effect. It should be noted that the usage example described here is merely an example and does not limit the usage of the ornamental toy 10.

When using, as shown in FIG. 8, the pedestal portion 16 of the ornamental toy 10 is placed on a flat surface (see the two-dot chain line) such as a tabletop. Then, the regulation portion 15c is removed from the lid portion 15, and after that, the operation portion 15b of the lid portion 15 is moved (see FIG. 5D) to open each liquid supply / drainage hole 15a4 of the lid portion main body 15a. The liquid DW is ready to be supplied and discharged. Then, the liquid DW (for example, tap water) is poured into the partition portion 15a3 of the lid portion main body 15a of the lid portion 15.

As shown in FIG. 9, the poured liquid DW is poured into the cavity 11a of the container portion 11 through the liquid supply / drainage holes 15a4 of the lid portion main body 15a and the control holes 15b4 of the operation portion 15b, so that the cavity 11a is formed. When the liquid DW is almost full, the pouring is stopped. Then, the operation portion 15b of the lid portion 15 is returned (see FIG. 5A) to close each supply / drainage hole 15a4 of the lid portion main body 15a so that the liquid DW cannot be supplied / discharged. Then, the previously removed regulation portion 15c is attached to the lid portion 15 so that each operation assisting portion 15b2 of the operation portion 15b does not move.

Then, as shown in FIG. 10, the hollow 11a of the container portion 11 after being filled with the liquid DW is grasped and lifted by fingers, shaken back and forth and left and right for about several seconds, and then placed on a flat surface such as a tabletop. The information unit 12 begins to dissolve when it comes into contact with the liquid DW, and the solubility promoting unit 17 also begins to generate gas when it comes into contact with the liquid DW. However, when it is shaken, the information unit 12 starts to dissolve and the gas from the solubility promoting unit 17 The generation is promoted, and the information unit 12 is moved by the bubble BU of the gas generated and raised in the solubility promoting unit 17, and the solubility is promoted. Further, when the solubility promoting portion 17 contains a dye, the liquid DW discolors as the gas is generated.

The above-mentioned gas generation and increase in bubble BU not only promote the solubility of the information unit 12, but also play a role of creating a unique atmosphere. That is, since the state in which the information unit 12 is melting can be made conspicuous by the gas bubble BU to attract the user, the ability to appeal to the user's eyes and hearing is significantly improved as compared with the case where the gas generation is not used. .. Further, even if it takes about several tens of seconds for the information unit 12 to dissolve, it is possible to eliminate the time required by the effect of the gas bubble BU. By the way, the information unit 12 does not completely dissolve in the liquid DW and disappear, and the solubility promoting unit 17 may also completely dissolve in the liquid DW and disappear. Therefore, the liquid DW in the cavity 11a of the container unit 11 is these. The residue of the above is mixed to form a mixed liquid MW.

After the gas generation is stopped, as shown in FIG. 11, the regulating portion 15c is removed from the lid portion 15, and after that, the entire lid portion 15 is turned upside down and then the lid portion 15 is placed on a flat surface such as a tabletop, and the lid portion is provided. The container portion 11 is slightly rotated with respect to 15. Since the opening 11b of the container portion 11 is in contact with the disk portion 15b1 of the operation portion 15b of the lid portion 15, the operation portion 15b is moved by this rotation (see FIG. 5D), and the lid portion main body. Each supply / drainage hole 15a4 of 15a is in a state where water supply / drainage is possible.

That is, as shown in FIG. 11, the mixed liquid MW in the cavity 11b of the container portion 11 passes through the liquid supply / drainage holes 15a4 of the lid portion main body 15a and the control holes 15b4 of the operation portion 15b to each of the lid portion main body 15a. It is discharged to the outside from the drainage groove 15a2. Further, the disassembled article 13 falls by its own weight in the cavity 11a and becomes visible from the outside of the container portion 11.

After the discharge of the mixed liquid MW in the cavity 11b of the container portion 11 is completed, as shown in FIG. 12, the lid portion main body 15 is turned to remove it from the container portion 11, and the disassembled article 13 is dropped by its own weight. Take out from the cavity 11a. Since the residue described above may be attached to the decomposed article 13 taken out, the residue is preferably removed using tap water or the like. Then, the disassembled article 13 is assembled into a self-supporting form shown in FIG. 3 (B).

After the discharge of the mixed liquid MW and the removal of the decomposed article 13 are completed, the cavity 11a of the container portion 11 is preferably washed and dried with tap water or the like, and the pedestal portion is as shown in FIG. 16 is placed on a flat surface such as a tabletop, the regulating portion 15c previously removed from the lid portion 15 is inserted into the cavity 11a of the container portion 11, and the tubular portion 15c2 of the regulating portion 15c is inserted into the hole 14a of the shielding portion 14. In addition, the lower surface of the disk portion 15c1 is arranged so as to be in contact with the upper surface of the shielding portion 14.

After arranging the regulation portion 15c in the cavity 11a of the container portion 11, as shown in FIG. 14, the previously assembled article 13 is put into the cavity 11a of the container portion 11, and the article 13 is placed in the disk of the regulation portion 15c. It is arranged on the portion 15c1 in a self-supporting state.

After arranging the assembled article 13 in the cavity 11a of the container portion 11, as shown in FIG. 15, the lid portion main body 15 previously removed from the container portion 11 is attached to the container portion 11. As described above, it is possible to obtain an exhibition form having an appearance as shown in FIG. 16, that is, an appearance as if the assembled article 13 is displayed in the tubular showcase.

<< Modification example >>
Next, a modified example of the above-mentioned ornamental toy 10 will be introduced.

(1) In the above-mentioned usage example, the explanation was given on the assumption that it is used only once, but a spare solubility promoting unit 17 is prepared, or another type of information source 12 and article 13 and a spare are prepared. If the solubility promoting unit 17 of the above is prepared, it is possible to reassemble the ornamental toy 10 in the pre-use state according to the above-mentioned example of the assembling method and use it repeatedly.

(2) Although the disassembled article 13 is arranged in the cavity 11a of the container portion 11, the article 13 that does not need to be assembled can also be arranged in the cavity 11a.

(3) An example in which a pedestal portion 16 is provided separately from the container portion 11 is illustrated, but when the container portion 11 itself has an outer shape (outer diameter) capable of standing on its own, or when the container portion 11 replaces the pedestal portion. When they are integrally held, the pedestal portion 16 can be eliminated.

(4) Although the one provided with the solubilization promoting unit 17 is illustrated, it is premised that the information unit 12 is solubilized by the act of shaking the container portion 11 after the cavity 11a is filled with the liquid DW. It is also possible to eliminate the solubility promoting unit 17. In this case, if the hole 14a of the shielding portion 14 is closed by a part of the information unit 12, or if the information unit 12 surrounds the disassembled article 13, the cavity 11a of the container portion 11 is filled. The article 13 can be arranged so that it cannot be visually recognized from the outside.

(5) The configuration excluding the information unit 12, the disassembled article 13 and the solubility promoting unit 17, that is, the container unit 12, the shielding unit 14, and the lid portion 15 are extremely as containers for producing the above-mentioned ornamental toy 10. It is useful. In other words, if a container including the container portion 12, the shielding portion 14, and the lid portion 15 is prepared, even if the types of the information unit 12, the disassembled article 13, and the solubility promoting unit 17 are changed, this It is possible to create the desired ornamental toys by following the changes.

(6) The solubility promoting portion 17 may be powdery or granular. In that case, the amount of the dissolution promoting portion 17 is an amount that covers at least a part of the article 13 on the bottom 11c of the cavity 11a of the container 11, and it is interesting that the type of the article 13 is an amount that cannot be visually identified from the outside. Will increase.
