DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0030] The present invention refers to a constructive arrangement introduced in an interactive toy provided with a housing specially adapted for storytelling and interpretation.

[0031] In particular, the housing comprises means to allow, while a story is narrated from a book, character elements to move in front of an interchangeable stage or scenario, ensuring an enhanced experience of story interpretation in relation to the constructions proposed in the prior art.

[0032] To this end, and as illustrated in FIG. 1, the present invention proposes a constructive arrangement introduced in interactive toy, comprising a housing 1 provided with an upper wall 2, a lower wall 3, two side walls 4, and a back wall 5.

[0033] Said housing 1 further comprises a first longitudinal cutout 22, provided on said upper wall 2, in addition to a second longitudinal cutout 23, which is preferably provided on said upper wall 2 but, in a constructive variant, may also be provided in a side wall 4 as shown in FIG. 2.

[0034] Said interactive toy further comprises at least one movable support element 6, illustrated in FIG. 4A, which cooperates with said upper wall 2 of the housing 1 and connects to a character element 61, illustrated in FIG. 3.

[0035] This allows the movable support element 6 and character element 61 to move together along the first longitudinal cutout 22, ensuring a practical and efficient solution for the interpretation of a story narrated by a user.

[0036] In a preferred embodiment, said movable support element 6 comprises a radially cut disc-shaped structure 62 which fits by interference to the character element 61 as shown in FIG. 4B.

[0037] Preferably, the movable support element 6 connects to a middle portion of the character element 61, so that a lower portion of the character element 61 passes through the first longitudinal cutout 22, and an upper portion of the element of character 61 remains above the first longitudinal cutout 22.

[0038] This facilitates the displacement of character element 61 by a user, who may use the upper portion of character element 61 as a fulcrum for movement along the first longitudinal cutout 22.

[0039] The lower portion of character element 61 can be given an appropriate art or design that matches the story told by a user and assists in interpretation.

[0040] In particular, more than one displaceable support element 6 and character element 61 may be used at the same time to adapt to the storytelling of the user.

[0041] The interactive toy, according to the present invention, also comprises at least one removable stage element 7, which passes through said second longitudinal cutout 23. Said removable stage element 7 is interchangeable, being removed and inserted from the second longitudinal cutout 23, in order to adapt the narrative of a story told by a user. It is evident that various stage or scenery elements, with different arts or designs, can be used to adapt to the storytelling.

[0042] Preferably, said removable stage element 7 comprises tabs 71, in different configurations, as illustrated in FIGS. 5A to 5D, which facilitate their insertion and removal from the second longitudinal cutout 23.

[0043] In addition, tabs 71 may aid narration and interpretation itself, following an order of removal and insertion corresponding to the story being told by the user.

[0044] Also, preferably, the housing 1 may further comprise fastening elements 31 securing said removable stage element 7 in front of the back wall 5. Preferably, the securing elements 31 have an L shape, and connect individually to the bottom wall 3 or side walls 4, helping to hold the removable stage element 7 in position as shown in FIG. 6.

[0045] Thus, and as particularly shown in FIGS. 7 and 8, the displacement of the character element 61 along the first longitudinal cutout 22 in front of the removable stage element 7 allows for a storytelling and interpretation experience that is not available in the constructions disclosed in the prior art.

[0046] It is important to note that the description of examples and preferred embodiments given above and by way of the drawings is not limiting or exclusive, and the person skilled in the art will be able to identify appropriate variations that remain within the scope of protection of the present invention.
