DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
Next, preferred embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings.
1 and 2 show a first preferred embodiment of the present invention. Reference numeral 1 denotes a sand container having a square shape with an upper opening 1a. The sand container 1 has a square shallow box 2 on the ground. It is set up and formed. On the shallow box, guide members 3 and 3 are provided as support members for supporting the shielding plate so as to be freely opened and closed. Guide members 3 is made of a tube that is embedded fixed to the ground by extending the end portion on the left and right over on its extension from the front and rear upper edge of the shallow box 2 and the intermediate portion by short struts 5, the guide members 3 The length of the extended portion is substantially the same as the left and right width of each shielding plate 4 that covers the upper opening 1 a of the sandbox 1. The shielding plate 4 is guided by the guide members 3 and 3 so that the front and rear ends thereof cover the upper opening 1a of the sandbox 1 with two pieces, and the extension of the guide members 3 and 3 so that the upper opening 1a is opened. A roller 6 that engages with the guide groove 7 of the guide member 3 is provided on the lower surface of the front and rear edges of each shielding plate 4, and this roller 6 is attached to the shielding plate 4. Guide the slide. The shielding plate 4 is preferably locked by a locking mechanism (not shown) so as to prevent free sliding during use so as to ensure the player's safety.
[0006]
In such a configuration, the shallow box 2 is placed on a predetermined ground and sand is put in the sand container 1, and the upper opening 1 a of the sand container 1 can be slid along the guide member 3 at all times. If shielded by the shielding plates 4 and 4, it is possible to reliably prevent a pet kept at night or early morning or a pet during a walk from entering the sandbox 1 and dropping the feces, and the sand is a parasite of the pet. And can be accurately prevented from being contaminated with pathogenic bacteria. And when an infant or a child wants to play in the sandbox 1, if each shielding plate 4 is pulled in the left-right direction, the shielding plate 4 is smoothly opened by the roller 6 guided by the guide groove 7 of the guide member 3, Since the upper opening 1a of the sandbox 1 is opened, infants and children can play with the sand in the sandbox 1 whose upper surface is open. When the play is over, sliding the shielding plate 4 in the opposite direction to shield the upper opening 1a of the sandbox 1 can prevent pets and the like from entering the sandbox 1 and dropping them. In addition, infants and children playing in the sand can be prevented from getting sick by parasites.
[0007]
Next, FIGS. 3 and 4 show a second preferred embodiment of the present invention, and 11 is a semicircular sand container. The sand container 11 is divided into two parts by dividing the inside of a circular shallow box 12 installed on the ground by an intermediate partition 12a and closing one half of the top opening with a wooden deck 12c. It is formed in half. In the upper part of the circular shallow box 12, a circular shielding plate 14 in which one half is a notch opening 14a substantially the same shape as the upper opening 11a of the sandbox 11 and the other half is a semicircular shielding part 14b. And the notch opening 14a of the deck portion 12c is not used when the shielding portion 14b of the shielding plate 14 covers the upper opening 11a of the sandbox 11 and is not used. The children playing on the upper surface are prevented from falling into the shallow box 12. Reference numeral 13 denotes an annular guide member made of a tube material that rotatably guides the circular shielding plate 14, and the guide member 13 is supported on the outer periphery of the shallow box 12 with a short support 12b so that the shielding plate 14 can be opened and closed. It has a function as a supporting member to support . Reference numeral 18 denotes a handle attached to a required portion of the outer periphery of the circular shielding plate 14, and the shielding plate 14 is rotated about the central axis 14c via the handle 18.
[0008]
In such a configuration, a shallow box 12 is placed on a predetermined ground to put sand in the sand container 11, and the upper opening 11 a of the sand container 11 is covered with a shielding plate 14. In use, the semicircular cutout opening 14a provided in the circular shielding plate 14 located on the deck portion 12c is rotated until it coincides with the upper opening 11a of the sandbox 11, and the cutout is made. If the opening 14a coincides with the upper opening 11a of the sand container 11, if the rotation is stopped and locked, the upper opening 11a of the sand container 11 is opened, and an infant or a child can play with the sand in the sand container 11 or the like. When the play is completed, the circular shielding plate 14 may be rotated to shield the upper opening 11a of the sandbox 11 with the shielding portion 14b.
[0009]
Next, FIGS. 5 and 6 show a third preferred embodiment of the present invention, and 21 is a semicircular sand container. This sandbox 21 is a cover in which a circular shallow box 22 whose interior is divided into two by an intermediate partition 22a is installed on the ground, and a semicircular notch opening is formed on one half of the upper surface opening of the shallow box 22 25, the semicircular cutout opening is the upper opening 21a of the sandbox 21, and the cover 25 functions as a support member that supports the shielding plate 14 so that it can be opened and closed. In addition, the upper opening 21a of the sand container 21 is covered with a pivotable semicircular shielding plate 24 having a hinge portion 29 disposed on the straight portion thereof so as to be opened and closed. In FIGS. 5 and 6, reference numeral 28 denotes a handle disposed at two positions on the front and rear sides of the shielding plate 24, and reference numeral 22b denotes a short support for supporting the cover 25 at the periphery thereof.
[0010]
In such a configuration, a shallow box 22 is installed on a predetermined ground, sand is put into the sand container 21, and an upper opening 21 a of the sand container 21 is covered with a semicircular shielding plate 24. In use, if the handle 28 of the shielding plate 24 is grasped and the shielding plate 24 is pivoted 180 degrees and laid down until it is attached to the cover 25, the upper opening 21a corresponding to the notch opening of the cover 25 is obtained. Is exposed and the sandbox 21 is opened, so infants and children can play with the sandbox 21. When the play is over, the shield plate 24 is laid down 180 degrees in the opposite direction and the sandbox is placed. What is necessary is just to close the upper opening 21a of the part 21. FIG.
[0011]
【The invention's effect】
As is apparent from the above description, the present invention is an amusement sandbox in which an upper opening of a sandbox in a shallow box installed on the ground is covered with an openable / closable shielding plate, and the shallow box is placed on the shallow box. A support member fixed to the ground is provided by a short support embedded in the outer position of the shield, and the shielding plate is supported by this support member so that the upper opening of the sandbox can be opened and closed. It can reliably prevent dung, and infants and children will not be infected by pet parasites or bacteria. In addition, those in which the shielding plate is slid under the guidance of the guide member can be safely opened and closed even by infants and children, and those in which the lid is pivoted will not malfunction due to sand or dust. There are advantages such as.
Therefore, the present invention is extremely effective as a play sandbox that solves the conventional problems.
