Description

Supply Device of Welding Beads Toys The present disclosure relates to a supply tool for weldable bead toys. Water-soluble weldable bead toys that enable playing by connecting them to each other have been proposed in the past. Users (including players) select various types of weldable bead toys (e.g., color, shape) according to their preferences and use them as components of an assembly. Additionally, a supply tool for supplying multiple types of weldable bead toys has also been proposed. For example, the supply tool of Patent Document 1 is composed of a main body part having a case receiving part at the rear end of a cylindrical gripping part, and a sphere receiving case having multiple sphere receiving spaces in the circumferential direction and being rotatably held and supported in the case receiving part. By this, the supply tool is made to allow for the simple separation and use of spheres, such as beads of multiple colors. Figure 1 is a planar perspective view of a supply tool. Figure 2 is a bottom perspective view of a supply tool. Figure 3 is an exploded perspective view of the supply tool. Figure 4 is a perspective view of a storage container. FIG. 5 is a perspective view of the switch member and the locking coupling member viewed from the switch member side. FIG. 6 is a perspective view of the switch member and the locking coupling member viewed from the locking coupling member side. FIG. 7 is a cross-sectional view VII-VII of the supply tool of FIG. 1 with part omitted. Figure 8 is a cross-sectional view of the feed tool of Figure 1 from VIII to VIII. FIG. 9 is a cross-sectional view of the supply tool with the switch member pressed, VIII-VIII. FIG. 10 is a cross-sectional view of the supply tool VIII-VIII in the state of opening the switch member. FIG. 11 is a cross-sectional view of the supply tool with the switch member open, VIII-VIII. Figure 12 is an explanatory diagram of the method for exchanging the storage container. An embodiment of the present disclosure will be described with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 is a planar perspective view of a supply tool (1). FIG. 2 is a bottom perspective view of a supply tool (1). The supply tool (1) of the present embodiment has the function of storing different types of weldable bead toys (9) and discharging one selected by the user from the discharge port (25) of the supply tool (1). In addition, in the present embodiment, the side of the main body part (2) located at the bottom of FIG. 1 is the bottom of the supply tool (1), and the opposite side is the top of the supply tool (1). The weldable bead toy (9) contains a resin of a water-soluble material and can be connected to each other by bringing them into contact in a wet state and drying them. The user can combine a plurality of weldable bead toys (9) to create any assembly and play with it. Specifically, the weldable bead toy (9) is formed by mixing polyvinyl alcohol with the resin. In addition, the resin forming the weldable bead toy can be arbitrarily selected from a transparent material, a light-transmitting material, or an opaque material. In addition, the weldable bead toy is formed in a roughly spherical shape, and various shapes such as a sphere, a convex polyhedron (a regular icosahedron, etc.), or a concave polyhedron (a star shape, etc.) can be used. The supply tool (1) comprises a main body (2) and a storage container (3). The main body (2) is formed in an inverted cone shape with the lower end tapering inward, and in this embodiment, the outer surface is decorated to resemble the cone part of a cone ice cream. Additionally, the storage container (3) is formed in a dome shape or a spherical shape that is approximately a semicircular arc when viewed from the side, and in this embodiment, the outer surface is decorated to resemble the ice part of a cone ice cream (ice scooped up with a disher). The main body (2) supports the storage container (3) so that it can rotate. As shown in FIG. 4, the storage container (3) has a storage space for weldable bead toys (9) that is concavely formed inside. The storage container (3) has a plurality of bead storage chambers (31a, 31b, 31c (31)) having an opening (311) as a storage space around the rotation axis (Q). In this embodiment, there are three bead storage chambers (31) of approximately the same volume. The bead storage room (31) is partitioned by a partition wall (312). The partition wall (312) is formed in a convex curved shape toward one side of the circumferential direction when viewed from the side of the opening (311) in the direction along the axis of rotation (Q) (in other words, the partition wall (312) is formed in a concave curved shape toward the other side of the circumferential direction). Additionally, the storage container (3) is provided with a flange portion (32) to which a mounting support portion (4) (see FIG. 7) is engaged and fixed to the side of the main body portion (2), and a catch-and-connect portion (33) to which a
