Abstract

A creation table for fusible toy bead includes: a first table having a plurality of through holes extending in a penetrating direction and configured to allow fusible toy beads; and a second table including: a plurality of pins configured to be inserted into and removed from the plurality of through holes; and a sheet holding portion configured to hold a sheet. The plurality of through holes include at least one through hole group, and each of the at least one through hole group has two or more through holes. The first table has a communication groove penetrating through the first table in the penetrating direction such that adjacent through holes contained in each of the at least one through hole group communicate with each other in a radial direction of the adjacent through holes.

Claims (20)

1 . A creation table for fusible toy bead comprising:

a first table having a plurality of through holes extending in a penetrating direction and configured to allow fusible toy beads to be placed on one side of the plurality of through holes in the penetration direction; and

a second table comprising: a plurality of pins configured to be inserted into and removed from the plurality of through holes from another side of the plurality of through holes in the penetration direction; and a sheet holding portion configured to hold a sheet,

wherein the plurality of through holes include at least one through hole group, each of the at least one through hole group having two or more through holes, and

wherein the first table has a communication groove penetrating through the first table in the penetrating direction such that adjacent through holes contained in each of the at least one through hole group communicate with each other in a radial direction of the adjacent through holes.

2 . The creation table for fusible toy bead according to claim 1 ,

wherein the at least one through hole group comprise at least one first through hole group and at least one second through hole group, and

wherein a number of through holes contained in each of the at least one first through hole group is different from a number of through holes contained in each of the at least one second through hole group.

3 . The creation table for fusible toy bead according to claim 2 ,

wherein the two or more through holes contained in each of the at least one through hole group are arranged in one direction of the radial direction,

wherein the number of through holes contained in each of the at least one first through hole group is three, and

wherein the number of through holes contained in each of the at least one second through hole group is two.

4 . The creation table for fusible toy bead according to claim 3 ,

wherein the first table includes a first region including a center of the first table in the one direction and a second region outside the first region in the one direction,

wherein the at least one first through hole group is disposed only in the first region, and

wherein the at least one second through hole group is disposed in at least the second region.

5 . The creation table for fusible toy bead according to claim 1 ,

wherein a width of the communication groove is smaller than a diameter of each of the plurality of through holes.

6 . The creation table for fusible toy bead according to claim 1 , further comprising:

a hinge configured to connect the first table and the second table such that the first table and the second table are allowed to be stacked while the plurality of pins are inserted into the plurality of through holes.
