Abstract

A toy for figure play includes: a base member, a spherical concave portion, a rotary plate, and a storage box, the spherical concave portion has a circular opening and a concave hemispherical surface corresponding to a radius of the circular opening. The spherical concave portion is provided on the base member. The rotary plate is rotatably provided in the circular opening of the spherical concave portion. The rotary plate is formed in a circular plate shape with a diameter substantially the same as an inner diameter of the circular opening. The a storage box is provided on a first surface of the rotary plate, and has a height equal to or less than a radius of the circular opening. The storage box includes an lid portion configured to open and close.

Claims (15)

1 . A toy for figure play comprising:

a base member;

a spherical concave portion having a circular opening and a concave hemispherical surface corresponding to a radius of the circular opening, the spherical concave portion being provided on the base member;

a rotary plate rotatably provided in the circular opening of the spherical concave portion, the rotary plate being formed in a circular plate shape with a diameter the same as an inner diameter of the circular opening, a rotation axis of the rotary plate extends along a diameter of the rotary plate; and

a storage box provided on a first surface of the rotary plate, the storage box having a height equal to or less than a radius of the circular opening, the storage box comprising a lid portion configured to open and close,

wherein the rotation axis of the rotary plate is set to be closer to the first surface of the rotary plate than a second surface of the rotary plate opposite to the first surface, and

wherein an outer periphery of a rotary shaft of the rotary plate protrudes from the first surface, and does not protrude from the second surface.

2 . The toy for figure play according to claim 1 ,

wherein a center of gravity of the storage box is set on one side with respect to the rotation axis of the rotary plate.

3 . The toy for figure play according to claim 1 ,

wherein the rotary plate comprises a restriction protrusion that protrudes radially outward on an axis perpendicular to the rotation axis of the rotary plate, and

wherein the spherical concave portion has a first engagement recess and a second engagement recess, the first engagement recess and the second engagement recess being formed at an edge portion of the circular opening on the axis perpendicular to the rotation axis of the rotary plate such that the first engagement recess and the second engagement recess face the restriction protrusion so as to engage with the restriction protrusion.

4 . The toy for figure play according to claim 1 ,

wherein the storage box has a rectangular parallelepiped shape, and

wherein the lid portion has a round corner in a side view when viewed in a direction of the rotation axis of the rotary plate.
