Toy assembled by attaching component parts to frame members and then connecting the frame members

摘要

A toy 1 formed of components 2 is assembled by (i) horizontally attaching components 2a,2b,2c to respective frames 3a,3b,3c so that the frames each support a component (see figures 3, 4 and 5), (ii) vertically attaching the frames to one another such that the supported components vertically fasten together to form an assembled toy (see figures 6 and 7), and (iii) horizontally removing the assembled toy from the assembled frames (see figure 8). Components 2a,2b,2c attach to frames 3a,3b,3c via horizontal engagement members (4a-d, figures 3A-5B) on the components and horizontal engagement members 5a,5b,5c,5d on the frames. The frames, each supporting a component, attach together via vertical frame engagement members (6a-d, figure 2), thus causing the components to fasten together via vertical component engagement members (7a-h, figures 3A, 4A, 5A). The assembled toy is then removed from the assembled frames by horizontally disengaging the toy from horizontal engagement members 5a,5b,5c,5d. Toy 1 may be a toy vehicle, with parts 2a,2b,2c comprising a front wheel chassis, a rear wheel chassis, and a vehicle body respectively. Frames 3a,3b,3c may include stickers 13a,13b,13c indicating which component member to attach.
