- Preferable and/or optional features of the invention are set forth in claims 2 to 20, inclusive.
- The invention will now be more particularly described, by way of example only, with reference to the accompanying drawings, in which:
-
FIG. 1 shows a front view of one embodiment of a bear-like child's toy, in accordance with the present invention; -
FIG. 2 shows a side view of the bear-like child's toy; -
FIG. 3 shows a body portion of the child's toy unfolded to present a major surface having a play mat element; and -
FIG. 4 shows the other major surface of the unfolded body portion presenting a changing mat element. - Referring to the drawings, there is shown an embodiment of a child's
toy 10 which, in this case, represents a soft cuddly bear. However, any animal, human or alien form may be represented. - The child's
toy 10 comprises ahead portion 12,body portion 14, twoarm members 16 and twoleg members 18. Thehead portion 12 includes one or morefacial features 20 and/or expressions, and in this case has twoeyes 22, anose 24, amouth 26 and twoears 28. Thehead portion 12 is formed from pliantly flexible material, such as a natural or synthetic fabric, which is stitched and stuffed to produce a soft padded generally rounded head. - The
body portion 14 is formed a pliantly flexible sheet of material having at least first and second overlying layers 30, 32 superposed on each other and connected via a stitched seam at theperimeter edge 34. The first layer 30 is preferably formed of a natural or synthetic fabric, and the second layer 32 is preferably formed of a plastics material which can be wiped clean. The first and second layers 30, 32 are substantially square having perimeter sides of substantially equal lengths. The first layer 30 can be considered as being a three by three grid of nine equalsquare segments 36, for reasons which will become apparent hereinafter. - The first layer 30 presents a first major surface 38 and includes at least one
play element 40 attached thereto for occupying a small child. A plurality of play elements can be provided, and preferably each play element occupies no more than one of thesaid segments 36 of the first layer 30, thereby allowing simplified folding as will be described hereinafter. Theplay element 40 may include at least one reflective element, rattle, ring, bell, tactile material, ribbon, button and/or picture to interest a child. The first layer 30 thus presents a play mat element 42 when placed face up. - The second layer 32, due to the use of a wipe-clean plastics material, presents a changing mat element 44 on a second major surface 46 opposite the first major surface 38. The plastics material is non-permeable to prevent or limit seepage of faecal matter and urine.
- The
head portion 12 is, typically permanently attached, for example via stitching, at its base midway along one of theperimeter edges 34 of theunfolded body portion 14. - The
arm members 16 are elongate generally tubular pocket elements, preferably formed from natural or synthetic fabric and in this case similar to thehead portion 12. Eacharm member 16 is stuffed with wading and stitched to close thearm member 16 at itsproximal end 48. Theproximal end 48 is connected to the outer surface 50 of the first layer 30 of thebody portion 14 approximately one third of the way inwards from theside perimeter edge 52 of the first layer 30 and so that thearm member 16 faces laterally and substantially perpendicularly away from the sagittal plane bisecting thehead portion 12. Thearm member 16 can thus hinge about the connection at theproximal end 48. Thearm member 16 is also positioned adjacent thetop perimeter edge 54 of theunfolded body portion 14 so that the lateral extent of thearm member 16 is substantially parallel with the sagittal plane. The longitudinal extents of thearm members 16 are substantially coaxial, and thearm members 16 extend in opposite directions relative to each other so as to lie across respective uppermost andoutermost segments 56. - The
leg members 18 are similar in construction to thearm members 16, being elongate and generally tubular pockets. Theproximal ends 58 are stitched closed to prevent the wading escaping, and are attached at a top edge of thecentral segment 60 of the first layer 30 of thebody portion 14. Theleg members 18 thus hinge about the connection at theproximal ends 58. A longitudinal extent of eachleg member 18 extends substantially in parallel with the sagittal plane, and theleg members 18 are positioned generally symmetrically about the sagittal plane. Theleg members 18 thus lie downwards across thecentral segment 60 or upwards towards thehead portion 14. - The
arm members 16 and theleg members 18, with thebody portion 14 unfolded and arranged so that the first layer 30 faces upwards, are adapted to become further play elements of the play mat element 42. - At least one
fastener 62 is also provided, and in this case, two saidfasteners 62 are included. Eachfastener 62 has abutton 64 and aloop 66. In this embodiment, eachloop 66 is provided on opposite sides of thehead portion 12 so as to project from thetop perimeter edge 54 of theunfolded body portion 14, and therespective buttons 64 are provided at or adjacent to the bottom corners of thecentral segment 60 on the first layer 30 of theunfolded body portion 14. - To fold the
body portion 14, thereby creating thetorso 68 of the child'stoy 10, the changing mat element 44 is positioned facing up. The changing mat element 44 is folded in on its self in thirds along fold lines which are parallel with the sagittal plane, so that an outerfirst third 70 overlies acentral third 72 of thebody portion 14, and an outersecond third 74 overlies the first third 70. - The partially folded
body portion 14 is then folded again in thirds in a rolling manner from the bottom segments 76 up to the top segments 78 adjacent thehead portion 12. In this way, thecentral segment 60 of thebody portion 14 is presented on the front outer surface 80 of the toy'storso 68 or stomach. Thebody portion 14 is held in its folded condition by the fastener orfasteners 62 being engaged. - Due to the rolling up of the
body portion 14, amuff 82 is formed which, when cold, allows a child's hands to be inserted laterally into thebody portion 14 and throughnatural openings 84 between the folds. To promote this, any play elements on the said second third 74 of the foldedbody portion 14 are preferably of a comfortable fabric so as not to impede or agitate a child's hands when inserted into and withdrawn from themuff 82. - Although the fastener is a button and loop, other types of fastener can be considered, such as press stud or hook and loop.
- The unfolded body portion is preferably square, but other shapes can be envisaged and may be feasible, such as rectangular.
- The arm members and/or leg members may be dispensed with, for example, if the toy is shaped to represent an alien.
- Although recycled material is conveniently made use of, other materials can be used. Fabric is preferred for the head portion and the play mat element, but other materials such as woven or non-woven materials or even plastics can be considered.
- It is thus possible to provide a child's toy with a plurality of additional functions, including changing mat, play mat and muff. The changing mat, play mat and muff are all provided by a foldable body portion of the toy.
- The embodiments described above are provided by way of examples only, and various other modifications will be apparent to persons skilled in the art without departing from the scope of the invention as defined in the appended claims.
