PLAYING FIGURE

Abstract

A playing figure is provided having a body conformed at least in part from an elastic material and having at least one hollow cavity provided with an opening towards the exterior so that the cavity is close to the opening. A perimetral retention seat for the contour of a detachable piece is also provided, the detachable piece has decorative motifs on at least one of its faces.

Claims

1. A playing figure comprising a body having an external shape and dimensions suitable for being transported in one hand or in a pocket; the body (1) is formed, at least in part, from an elastic material and has at least one hollow cavity (10) having an opening (11) which has internally, close to said opening (11), a perimetral seat (12) for retaining the contour of a detachable piece (2); said detachable piece has a first face (21) bearing first decorative motifs (22), wherein said first face (21) is oriented towards the exterior of the cavity (10) and visible through the opening (11) of the body (1) when said detachable piece (2) is assembled inside said body (1).

2. The playing figure according to claim 1, wherein the hollow cavity (10) has behind the perimetral seat (12) and positioned towards a back area of said hollow cavity (10), a segment (13) of decreasing cross-section, wherein said segment (13) is elastically deformed together with the opening (11) when pressure is applied to said segment (13) in a transversal direction so that said detachable piece (2) is expelled from the perimetral seat (12).

3. The playing figure according to claim 1; wherein the detachable piece (2) has a flattened configuration; a second face (23) bearing second decorative motifs (24) and a symmetric contour (25) for reversibly assembling said detachable piece (2) to the perimetral seat (12) of the body (1).

Description

DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0015] To complement the afore-mentioned description and with the objective of facilitating the understanding of the features of the invention, a set of drawings is annexed to the present specification in which, with illustrative and non-limiting character, the following has been represented:

[0016] FIG. 1 shows a schematic perspective view of an example embodiment of the figure for playing according to the invention with the detachable piece mounted in the body of elastic material of the figure for playing.

[0017] FIG. 2 shows a perspective view of the body of elastic material of the previous figure and the disassembled detachable piece in two different positions permitting observing the decorative motifs of its two opposing faces.

[0018] FIG. 3 shows a floor plan view of the figure for playing sectioned by a horizontal plane, in which the detachable piece mounted on the perimetral retention seat of the piece of elastic material can be observed.

[0019] FIG. 4 shows an analogous section to that of FIG. 3 with the detachable piece dismounted from the body of the figure.

PREFERRED EMBODIMENT OF THE INVENTION

[0020] In the example embodiment shown in FIG. 1, the figure for playing presents a body (1) conformed in its totality in an elastic material and a detachable piece (2), of rigid material, mounted in a hollow cavity (10) of the body (1) of elastic material.

[0021] The elastic material of the body (1) is of rubber or similar, while the rigid material of the detachable piece (2) is of plastic, resin or similar.

[0022] As can be observed in FIG. 2, the hollow cavity (10) of the body (1) has an opening (11) and internally, close to said opening (11), a perimetral seat (12) for the housing and retention of the contour of the detachable piece (2) in an assembled position.

[0023] This detachable piece presents a first face (21) bearing first decorative motifs (22), a second face (23) bearing second decorative motifs (24), and a symmetric contour (25) suitable for reversibly assembling it in the perimetral seat (12) of the body (1) of elastic material.

[0024] The first (22) or second (24) decorative motifs are visible from the exterior of the figure, and through the opening (11), as a function of the assembly position of the detachable piece (2) in the body (1); thereby presenting the figure for playing two different characterizations or aspects.

[0025] As can be observed from the cross-section view of FIGS. 2 and 3, the hollow cavity (10) of the body (1) presents behind the perimetral seat (12) and towards its back, a segment (13) of decreasing cross-section, in this case stepped, which on being pressed in transversal direction is elastically deformed together with the opening (11) of the cavity (10), causing the expulsion of the detachable piece (2) from the perimetral seat (12) and its liberation from the body (1) of the figure for playing.

[0026] Once the nature of the invention has been sufficiently described, as well as an example preferred embodiment, it is made known for the appropriate purposes that the materials, forms, sizes and disposition of the described elements can be modified as long as it does not result in an alteration of the essential features of the invention which are claimed in the following.
