Description

This invention is particularly suitable for application to toy containers for storing building block toys. Conventionally, block toys like the one shown in Figure 1 are widely known (see, for example, Patent Document 1). This block toy 101 consists of a main body 103 having a rectangular parallelepiped shape with an open bottom, and a cylindrical projection 102 protruding cylindrically from the main body 103. It can be assembled by fitting the cylindrical projection 102 into the opening of the main body 103. This block toy 101 allows for the creation of various shapes by combining blocks with different numbers of cylindrical protrusions and assembling the block toy 101 from bottom to top. Special Publication No. 10-506309 This is a simplified diagram illustrating a single unit block in building block toys.(A) is a perspective view of the toy container in this embodiment, and (B) is a front view.In this embodiment, (A) is a perspective view of the storage box section, and (B) is a side view.This is a cross-sectional view of the storage box portion in this embodiment.This is a schematic diagram illustrating the relationship between the peripheral projection and the slope portion in this embodiment.In this embodiment, (A) is a perspective view of the lid, and (B) is a cross-sectional view.In this embodiment, (A) is a bottom view, (B) is a front view, and (C) is a rear view of the lid.In this embodiment, (A) is a plan view and (B) is a perspective view of the lid.This is a schematic diagram illustrating the usage configuration in this embodiment. <Embodiment> In Figure 2, 1 represents the toy container of the present invention as a whole. The toy container 1 has a rectangular parallelepiped shape as a whole and includes a storage box section 2, a lid section 3, and a handle 11. The toy container 1 is preferably made of a highly elastic thermoplastic resin (with an elastic modulus of 1.0 × 10⁸ Pa·s or higher at 25°C), such as ABS (Acrylonitrile-Butadiene-Styrene copolymer) resin, acrylic resin, polystyrene resin, or polypropylene resin. As shown in Figure 3, the storage box section 2 is a box for storing block toys, and is composed of four side walls 21 and a bottom plate 22, with the top opening as a storage opening 23. The bottom plate 22 is roughly square in shape, and the overall shape is a rectangular parallelepiped. The side wall connecting portion 21A, which connects the side walls 21 to each other, and the bottom connecting portion 21B, which connects the side wall 21 to the bottom plate 22, have a radius (R) with a diameter of 10-20% of the long axis or long side of the storage opening 23. Furthermore, the side walls 21 have an incline of 1-5° relative to the bottom plate 22, widening upwards from a vertical position. For example, if there is no radius (R), one side of the base plate 22 is 23.8 cm, with a radius of 4 cm and a straight section of 15.8 cm. Also, the inclination angle of the side wall 21 relative to the base plate is set to 2°. Mounting holes (not shown) for attaching the handle 11 are formed on two opposing surfaces of the side wall 21. The handle 11 is attached to the storage box section 2 by inserting the protruding portion 11A, which extends from the inside of the handle 11, into these holes. Near the upper end of the side wall 21, i.e., near the periphery of the storage opening 23, a peripheral projection 24 is formed that protrudes outward. As shown in Figure 5, the peripheral projection 24 extends approximately 3 to 10 mm (e.g., 5 mm) down from the periphery of the storage opening 23, with a width of 4 to 10 mm (e.g., 6 mm), and protrudes approximately 1 to 3 cm (e.g., 2.4 cm) from the side wall 21. This increases the strength of the storage box section 2 and also serves to support the lid section 3. As shown in Figure 4, a protruding region 26 is formed in the central area of the base plate 22, extending from the bottom surface. The protruding region 26 is formed just inside where the radius of the bottom surface ends, and is approximately 15 cm square. The presence of the protruding region 26 maintains the strength of the storage box section 2 and also makes it easier to hold the base plate 22 by hooking your fingers onto the protruding region 26. Furthermore, on the other two opposing sides of the side wall 21 where the handle 11 is not attached, sloped sections 25 are formed. The sloped sections 25 have an incline of 5 to 10° (e.g., 7°) from the same position on the outside as the peripheral projection 24. The sloped sections 25 have a thickness approximately the same as the thickness of the side wall 21 excluding the peripheral projection 24 (e.g., 1.5 mm), and the inner surface of the sloped section 25 protrudes outward more than the inner surface of the side wall 21. In other words, the sloped section 25 is an incline that protrudes outward from the side wall 21, and there is no region throughout the entire sloped section 25 that is thickened like the peripheral projection 24
