以下、本開示の技術の一態様である電池収容構造について、図を参照して説明する。
図１は、電池収容構造を備えた玩具１の一例を示す斜視図である。 Hereinafter, a battery housing structure that is one aspect of the technology of the present disclosure will be described with reference to the drawings.
FIG. 1 is a perspective view showing an example of a toy 1 equipped with a battery housing structure.

図１に示す玩具１は、本開示の技術の一態様の電池収容構造を適用したもので、円盤状本体部１０ａ、及び棒状把持部１０ｂを備えた形状のもので、棒状把持部１０ｂを手８０で持って遊ぶものである。また、例えば、ヒーローのセリフや音響を発現し、更に、必要に応じて光を発現するなど、内部に電源や制御機能を備える薄型の玩具である。この玩具１の構成部品としては、大きく分けて、電池収容部１４（図２参照）や発光部や音声出力部の制御部等を含む制御系を備える第一部材である本体部材１０と、本体部材１０に対して着脱可能で電池収容部１４を覆うことができる第二部材の蓋部材２０と、を備えている。 The toy 1 shown in FIG. 1 is an application of the battery housing structure of one aspect of the technology disclosed herein, and has a shape with a disk-shaped main body 10a and a rod-shaped grip 10b, and is played with by holding the rod-shaped grip 10b in the hand 80. It is a thin toy with an internal power source and control functions, for example, to express the hero's lines and sounds, and further to express light as necessary. The components of this toy 1 are roughly divided into a main body member 10, which is a first member equipped with a control system including a battery housing 14 (see FIG. 2) and a control unit for a light-emitting unit and a sound output unit, and a second member, a cover member 20, which is detachable from the main body member 10 and can cover the battery housing 14.

蓋部材２０は、円盤形状でその中央部分が前面側に突出した外殻部材である第１部分２１を備えており、第１部分２１の前面先端部には球面形状を有する装飾部２１ｂが設けられている。 The cover member 20 has a first part 21, which is a disk-shaped outer shell member whose central part protrudes toward the front side, and a decorative part 21b having a spherical shape is provided at the front tip of the first part 21.

図２は、図１に示す玩具１の蓋部材２０を取り外した状態を示す要部の斜視図である。
蓋部材２０は、図２に示すように、第１部分２１が円盤状本体部１０ａの前面側中央部分に形成された円形窪み部１０ｃを閉じるように対応する。円形窪み部１０ｃには、電池４０を収容する一対の電池収容部１４が上方寄りの位置に設けられている。また、中央部には、蓋部材２０を固定するためのねじ部材３０が本体部材１０の厚み方向に貫通した貫通孔１５に設けられている。このねじ部材３０により、蓋部材２０は、円形窪み部１０ｃを閉じるように固定される。すなわち、蓋部材２０の内側の中央には、ねじ部材３０が螺合するねじ受け孔部２０Ａ（図４参照）が設けられている。本実施形態では、ねじ部材３０およびねじ受け孔部２０Ａにはそれぞれネジ山が形成されており、ねじ部材３０に雄ねじ部が形成され、ねじ受け孔部２０Ａに雌ねじ部が形成されている。それにより、ねじ部材３０をねじ受け孔部２０Ａに対して連結することが可能である。なお、貫通孔１５の内側にも補助的にねじ部材３０のネジ山を受けるネジ山が形成されていてもよい。 FIG. 2 is a perspective view of the main part of the toy 1 shown in FIG. 1 with the cover member 20 removed.
As shown in FIG. 2, the first portion 21 of the cover member 20 corresponds to close the circular recess 10c formed in the center of the front side of the disk-shaped main body 10a. A pair of battery accommodating sections 14 for accommodating the batteries 40 are provided in the circular recess 10c at an upper position. In addition, in the center, a screw member 30 for fixing the cover member 20 is provided in a through hole 15 penetrating the main body member 10 in the thickness direction. The screw member 30 fixes the cover member 20 to close the circular recess 10c. That is, a screw receiving hole 20A (see FIG. 4) into which the screw member 30 is screwed is provided in the center of the inside of the cover member 20. In this embodiment, a screw thread is formed in each of the screw member 30 and the screw receiving hole 20A, a male screw portion is formed in the screw member 30, and a female screw portion is formed in the screw receiving hole 20A. This makes it possible to connect the screw member 30 to the screw receiving hole 20A. In addition, a screw thread may be formed on the inside of the through hole 15 as an auxiliary thread for receiving the screw thread of the screw member 30.

電池収容部１４は、ボタン型の電池４０を収容する円筒型の凹形状を有しており、その内部には、接点部材１４ｂが設けられている。例えば、電池収容部１４内にボタン型の電池４０を収容するときは、電池収容部１４の解放口１４ａ側から第１方向（本体部材１０の厚み方向）に沿って挿入・装着する。この時、電池４０は、接点部材１４ｂによって解放口１４ａ側に押されて若干浮いた状態になっている。そして、電池収容部１４を閉じるように上から蓋部材２０を被せ、ねじ部材３０にて固定することで、電池４０は、電池収容部１４内に押され接点部材１４ｂに当接し所定位置に固定される。 The battery housing 14 has a cylindrical recessed shape that houses a button-type battery 40, and a contact member 14b is provided inside. For example, when housing a button-type battery 40 in the battery housing 14, it is inserted and attached from the open opening 14a side of the battery housing 14 along a first direction (thickness direction of the main body member 10). At this time, the battery 40 is pushed toward the open opening 14a by the contact member 14b and is in a slightly floating state. Then, the cover member 20 is placed from above to close the battery housing 14, and fixed with the screw member 30, so that the battery 40 is pushed into the battery housing 14 and comes into contact with the contact member 14b and is fixed in a predetermined position.

蓋部材２０は、第１部分２１の一端側にはその径方向外側に突出するフック片２１ｃを備え、フック片２１ｃとは１８０度反対側に位置決め突起２１ｄが設けられている。また、中央部から半径方向に延びる長方形状の一対の嵌合凹部２０ｊが設けられ、更に、嵌合凹部２０ｊ間には、一対の電池押え用の環状突起２０ｋが設けられている。一方、本体部材１０の円形窪み部１０ｃには、フック片受部１０ｆ、及び突起受け孔１０ｄが設けられ、更に、嵌合凹部２０ｊに嵌合する長方形状の嵌合突部１０ｅが設けられている。したがって、蓋部材２０を装着するときは、フック片２１ｃをフック片受部１０ｆに差し込むと共に突起受け孔１０ｄに位置決め突起２１ｄを嵌めるようにし、ねじ部材３０にて取り付ける。これにより、電池４０は、環状突起２０ｋにより接点部材１４ｂと確り接触するように電池収容部１４の底側へ押圧される。 The cover member 20 has a hook piece 21c protruding radially outward at one end of the first portion 21, and a positioning protrusion 21d is provided 180 degrees opposite the hook piece 21c. A pair of rectangular fitting recesses 20j extending radially from the center are provided, and a pair of annular protrusions 20k for holding the battery are provided between the fitting recesses 20j. Meanwhile, the circular recess 10c of the main body member 10 has a hook piece receiving portion 10f and a protrusion receiving hole 10d, and further has a rectangular fitting protrusion 10e that fits into the fitting recess 20j. Therefore, when attaching the cover member 20, the hook piece 21c is inserted into the hook piece receiving portion 10f and the positioning protrusion 21d is fitted into the protrusion receiving hole 10d, and then the cover member 20 is attached with the screw member 30. As a result, the battery 40 is pressed toward the bottom side of the battery storage portion 14 by the annular protrusion 20k so as to be in firm contact with the contact member 14b.

また本実施形態では、蓋部材２０は、表面に装飾や彩色等のデザインが施してあり、蓋部材２０を本体部材１０に固定することで、蓋部材２０の表面と本体部材１０の蓋部材２０側の表面とによって一つのデザインが形成されるものである。このように蓋部材２０の表面を本体部材１０のデザイン（装飾等）の一部とすることで、蓋部材２０を違和感なく配置することができる。 In addition, in this embodiment, the cover member 20 has a design such as decoration or coloring on its surface, and by fixing the cover member 20 to the main body member 10, a single design is formed by the surface of the cover member 20 and the surface of the main body member 10 facing the cover member 20. In this way, by making the surface of the cover member 20 part of the design (decoration, etc.) of the main body member 10, the cover member 20 can be positioned without feeling out of place.

図３は、図１に示す玩具１の分解斜視図である。
本体部材１０は、図３に示すように、前後方向に分割される、例えば後方本体部１１、及び前方本体部１２を備えており、前後方向において薄く構成されている。この後方本体部１１、及び前方本体部１２は、その組合せ面１０ｊに設けられた凹凸嵌合によって組み合わせて固定される。例えば、後方本体部１１には、部材の輪郭部分に沿った凸条１７が設けられ、更に、凸部１８や凹部１９が適宜分散配置されている。一方、前方本体部１２には、図示しないが凸条１７，凸部１８、及び凹部１９に対する凹凸構造が設けられている。 FIG. 3 is an exploded perspective view of the toy 1 shown in FIG.
As shown in Fig. 3, the main body member 10 is divided in the front-rear direction and includes, for example, a rear main body portion 11 and a front main body portion 12, and is configured to be thin in the front-rear direction. The rear main body portion 11 and the front main body portion 12 are assembled and fixed by a concave-convex fit provided on their combination surfaces 10j. For example, the rear main body portion 11 is provided with a convex rib 17 that follows the contour of the member, and further, convex portions 18 and concave portions 19 are appropriately distributed. On the other hand, the front main body portion 12 is provided with a concave-convex structure for the convex rib 17, the convex portions 18, and the concave portions 19, although not shown.

本体部材１０は、このような嵌合構造により組合せて組み立てられているが、必要に応じて接着剤などを用いて固定してもよい。また、本態様においては、ねじ部材３０は、もっぱら、蓋部材２０を取り付けるための部材であるが、蓋部材２０を取り付けた状態においては、本体部材１０の固定用として用いることができる。本体部材１０は、このように締結ねじなどを使用することなく連結されていることで、本体部材１０には、ねじ等の締結部材がその表面側、裏面側に露出せず、玩具１としての外観を綺麗に演出することができる。 The main body member 10 is assembled by combining the parts using this interlocking structure, but may be fixed using adhesive or the like if necessary. In this embodiment, the screw member 30 is used primarily to attach the lid member 20, but can also be used to fasten the main body member 10 when the lid member 20 is attached. Because the main body member 10 is connected in this manner without using fastening screws or the like, the fastening members such as screws are not exposed on the front or back sides of the main body member 10, allowing the toy 1 to have a beautiful appearance.

図４は、図１におけるＡ－Ａ線に沿った部分の断面図である。
図４に示すように、蓋部材２０は、貫通孔１５に挿通されたねじ部材３０の先端部３０ａがねじ受け孔部２０Ａに螺合して固定されている。ねじ受け孔部２０Ａは、蓋部材２０を平面視で見たときの略中央部分の内側に設けられている。蓋部材２０は、前述のように、例えば、前方側が閉じられた第１部分２１の内側に第２部分２２が嵌合した構成となっている。すなわち、蓋部材２０のねじ受け孔部２０Ａは、前面側は閉じられており、ねじ部材３０の先端部３０ａが見えない構成である。また、ねじ部材３０は、その基端部３０ｂが貫通孔１５内に埋没するように構成されており、その基端面３０ｓが本体部材１０の裏面１１ｓの内側に位置するように取り付けられている。 FIG. 4 is a cross-sectional view taken along line AA in FIG.
As shown in FIG. 4, the lid member 20 is fixed by screwing the tip 30a of the screw member 30 inserted into the through hole 15 into the screw receiving hole 20A. The screw receiving hole 20A is provided on the inside of the approximate center when the lid member 20 is viewed in a plan view. As described above, the lid member 20 is configured such that, for example, the second part 22 is fitted into the inside of the first part 21 whose front side is closed. That is, the front side of the screw receiving hole 20A of the lid member 20 is closed, and the tip 30a of the screw member 30 is not visible. The screw member 30 is configured such that its base end 30b is embedded in the through hole 15, and its base end surface 30s is attached to be located inside the back surface 11s of the main body member 10.

なお、本体部材１０内には、制御部の基盤６０が設けられている。この基盤６０の裏面側には、例えばラバースイッチ６１（押圧操作に対して復元性のあるスイッチ）等のスイッチが設けられており、ラバースイッチ６１は、本体部材１０の裏面側の押圧スイッチ１１ｂを押すことで操作可能に構成されている。また、図示しないが、玩具１の演出モードを変更可能なモードスイッチ等も本体部材１０の裏面側に設けられている。 The main body member 10 includes a control circuit board 60. A switch such as a rubber switch 61 (a switch that has resilience when pressed) is provided on the back side of the board 60, and the rubber switch 61 is configured to be operable by pressing the press switch 11b on the back side of the main body member 10. Although not shown, a mode switch or the like that can change the presentation mode of the toy 1 is also provided on the back side of the main body member 10.

図５は、蓋部材２０を取り外した状態における断面図である。
電池収容部１４は、前述のように円筒型の凹部形状であるが、その深さである第１方向（矢印Ｘ方向）の大きさ（ｈ１）は、後方本体部１１の最大厚み（ｈ２）とほぼ同じに構成されている。また、電池収容部１４の深さ（ｈ１）は、前方本体部１２を含めた本体部材１０の厚み（ｈ３）に対しても本体部材１０の肉厚差程度の違いしかなく略同等の大きさと言うことがでる。 FIG. 5 is a cross-sectional view with the cover member 20 removed.
As described above, the battery accommodating section 14 has a cylindrical recess shape, and its depth (h1) in the first direction (arrow X direction) is configured to be approximately the same as the maximum thickness (h2) of the rear main body section 11. In addition, the depth (h1) of the battery accommodating section 14 differs only by the difference in thickness (h3) of the main body member 10 including the front main body section 12, and can be said to be approximately the same size.

本実施形態では図５に示すように、ねじ受け孔部２０Ａにねじ部材３０の先端部３０ａが螺合する保持部材２４（以下ナット２４という）が内部に設けられている。例えば、蓋部材２０を構成する第１部分２１と第２部分２２とにより形成された空間ＳＰ１内にナット２４が収容されている。そして、ナット２４は、空間ＳＰ１内において第１方向（矢印Ｘ方向（玩具１の厚み方向））においては、位置規制部２１ａの先端面２１ａｔと第２部分２２の空間内壁面２２ｗとによって位置規制されて動かないように保持される。また、その回転方向においても、動かないように保持されている（図７参照）。なお本実施形態では、保持部材２４を設ける構造としているが、これに限定されるものではなく、第１部分２１や第２部分２２にねじ部材３０と螺合するネジ山が形成されていてもよい。また、保持部材２４として、ナットを利用する例を説明しているが、ナット以外のものであっても良い。 In this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 5, a retaining member 24 (hereinafter referred to as a nut 24) into which the tip 30a of the screw member 30 is screwed into the screw receiving hole 20A is provided inside. For example, the nut 24 is accommodated in a space SP1 formed by the first part 21 and the second part 22 constituting the lid member 20. The nut 24 is held immovable in the first direction (arrow X direction (thickness direction of the toy 1)) in the space SP1 by being positionally restricted by the tip surface 21at of the position restricting part 21a and the space inner wall surface 22w of the second part 22. It is also held immovable in the rotation direction (see FIG. 7). In this embodiment, the structure is such that the retaining member 24 is provided, but this is not limited thereto, and a screw thread that is screwed into the screw member 30 may be formed in the first part 21 or the second part 22. In addition, although an example of using a nut as the retaining member 24 is described, it may be something other than a nut.

また、ねじ受け孔部２０Ａの空間ＳＰ１は、ナット２４のねじ穴径（ｄ１）よりも大径（ｄ３）の空間として形成されており、位置規制部２１ａの内径（ｄ２）もねじ穴径（ｄ１）よりも大きく構成されている。この構成によれば、ねじ部材３０の先端部３０ａが長い場合、すなわち、ねじ部材３０がナット２４から突出するような場合でも、先端部３０ａの進入を許容する。 The space SP1 of the screw receiving hole 20A is formed as a space with a larger diameter (d3) than the screw hole diameter (d1) of the nut 24, and the inner diameter (d2) of the position restricting portion 21a is also configured to be larger than the screw hole diameter (d1). With this configuration, even if the tip 30a of the screw member 30 is long, i.e., even if the screw member 30 protrudes from the nut 24, the tip 30a is allowed to enter.

蓋部材２０は、第１方向の最大厚み（ｄ４）は、本体部材１０の最大厚み（ｄ３）よりも大きく構成されている。また、蓋部材２０は、装飾部２１ｂの囲むように球面状に前方側に膨らんだ膨らみ部２１ｅを備えている。このように蓋部材２０は、その厚みが大きく構成され且つ膨らみ部２１ｅを備えた構成となっていることで、第１方向における剛性が強くなっている。 The maximum thickness (d4) of the lid member 20 in the first direction is greater than the maximum thickness (d3) of the main body member 10. The lid member 20 also has a bulge 21e that bulges forward in a spherical shape to surround the decorative portion 21b. In this way, the lid member 20 is configured to have a large thickness and has a bulge 21e, which increases its rigidity in the first direction.

ねじ部材３０は、本態様においては、本体部材１０から外れない構成となっている。例えば、ねじ部材３０は、先端部３０ａと基端部３０ｂとの間に、先端部３０ａよりも径が小さい小径部３０ｃが設けられている。そして、この小径部３０ｃが貫通孔１５の狭窄部１５ｂに対応する径に構成されていることで、ねじ部材３０は、本体部材１０から外れない構成とすることができる。なお、ねじ部材３０は、本体部材１０から外れる構成であっても良い。 In this embodiment, the screw member 30 is configured not to come off from the main body member 10. For example, the screw member 30 has a small diameter portion 30c between the tip end 30a and the base end 30b, the small diameter portion 30c being smaller in diameter than the tip end 30a. The small diameter portion 30c is configured to have a diameter corresponding to the narrowed portion 15b of the through hole 15, so that the screw member 30 is configured not to come off from the main body member 10. The screw member 30 may also be configured to come off from the main body member 10.

図６は、蓋部材２０における第１部分２１の内側構造を示す分解斜視図である。図７は、蓋部材２０における第２部分２２の内側構造を示す分解斜視図である。
蓋部材２０は、前述のように、二つの部分から構成されており、第１部分２１は、図６、及び図７に示すように、その内側に空間ＳＰ１を形成する円筒形の凹部が形成されている。そして、その中心部に円筒形の位置規制部２１ａが第２部分２２側に向かって突設されている。また、位置規制部２１ａの外周側には、例えば一対の嵌合軸部２１ｐ及び一対のリブ２１ｖが位置規制部２１ａと同じ向きに突設されている。この嵌合軸部２１ｐは、第２部分２２の内側の突部２２ａに設けられた嵌合凹部２２ｃ（図７参照）に嵌合し、リブ２１ｖは、第２部分２２を押し込むときの押込み位置を決める。また、蓋部材２０の裏面側には、前述したように、フック片２１ｃ、位置決め突起２１ｄ、一対の環状突起２０ｋ、及び嵌合凹部２０ｊが設けられている。 Fig. 6 is an exploded perspective view showing the inner structure of the first portion 21 of the cover member 20. Fig. 7 is an exploded perspective view showing the inner structure of the second portion 22 of the cover member 20.
As described above, the cover member 20 is composed of two parts, and the first part 21 has a cylindrical recess that forms a space SP1 inside, as shown in Figures 6 and 7. A cylindrical position restricting portion 21a is provided at the center thereof to protrude toward the second part 22. In addition, for example, a pair of fitting shafts 21p and a pair of ribs 21v are provided on the outer periphery of the position restricting portion 21a in the same direction as the position restricting portion 21a. The fitting shafts 21p are fitted into fitting recesses 22c (see Figure 7) provided on the inner protrusion 22a of the second part 22, and the ribs 21v determine the push-in position when the second part 22 is pushed in. In addition, as described above, the hook piece 21c, the positioning protrusion 21d, a pair of annular protrusions 20k, and a fitting recess 20j are provided on the back side of the cover member 20.

ねじ受け孔部２０Ａ内には、図７に示しように、六角形のナット嵌合凹部２２ｂが設けられている。したがって、ナット２４は、ナット２４の外周面２４ｂ（六角形）がナット嵌合凹部２２ｂの内周壁面に嵌るように組み込まれることで、回転しないように固定される。また、ナット２４の嵌め込みは、例えば、ナット嵌合凹部２２ｂに対して固い嵌め込み状態とすることで、ナット２４の回転方向の係止だけでなく第１方向の係止も可能である。 As shown in FIG. 7, a hexagonal nut fitting recess 22b is provided in the screw receiving hole 20A. Therefore, the nut 24 is fixed so as not to rotate by fitting the outer peripheral surface 24b (hexagonal) of the nut 24 into the inner peripheral wall surface of the nut fitting recess 22b. In addition, the nut 24 can be fitted tightly into the nut fitting recess 22b, for example, to lock the nut 24 not only in the rotational direction but also in the first direction.

本態様の電池収容構造は、第二部材である蓋部材２０にねじ受け孔部２０Ａが設けられるという新たな構造の電池収容構造である。また、第一部材である本体部材１０側から挿入されたねじ部材によって、本体部材１０と蓋部材２０とを固定することができる。また、ねじ受け孔部２０Ａが外側から見えないように構成されることで、蓋部材２０を装飾部品とすることができる。 The battery housing structure of this embodiment is a new structure in which a screw receiving hole portion 20A is provided in the lid member 20, which is the second member. In addition, the main body member 10 and the lid member 20 can be fixed together by a screw member inserted from the main body member 10, which is the first member. In addition, the screw receiving hole portion 20A is configured so that it cannot be seen from the outside, so that the lid member 20 can be used as a decorative part.

本態様の電池収容構造では、電池収容部１４の収容深さが第１方向における最大厚みとほぼ同程度となるように構成されているので、第一部材である本体部材１０の厚さを電池の厚みに近づけた薄型の部材とすることができる。 In this battery housing structure, the battery housing section 14 is configured so that its storage depth is approximately the same as its maximum thickness in the first direction, so that the first member, the main body member 10, can be made a thin member with a thickness close to that of the battery.

本態様の電池収容構造では、ねじ受け孔部２０Ａが蓋部材２０の中央部分に設けられていることで、蓋部材２０を本体部材１０に対して確実に固定することができる。また、ねじ受け孔部２０Ａが蓋部材２０の中央部分に位置していることで、ねじ止めによる締め付け力を蓋部材２０全体に均等にすることができる。 In this battery housing structure, the screw receiving hole 20A is provided in the center of the cover member 20, so that the cover member 20 can be securely fixed to the body member 10. In addition, because the screw receiving hole 20A is located in the center of the cover member 20, the tightening force applied by the screws can be uniform throughout the cover member 20.

本態様の電池収容構造では、蓋部材２０を取り付けるねじ部材３０は、蓋部材２０の外面に露出することがなく、更に、本体部材１０の裏面側においても、裏面１１ｓよりも引っ込むように位置しているので、本体部材１０の装飾演出において好ましい構造にできる。 In this battery housing structure, the screw members 30 that attach the cover member 20 are not exposed on the outer surface of the cover member 20, and are also recessed from the back surface 11s of the main body member 10, making this a desirable structure for decorative purposes.

本態様の電池収容構造では、蓋部材２０が玩具１においてねじ孔が露出しない装飾部品として構成されていることで、玩具１として好ましい演出ができる。 In this battery housing structure, the cover member 20 is configured as a decorative part in the toy 1 so that the screw holes are not exposed, allowing the toy 1 to be presented in a pleasing way.

本態様の電池収容構造では、電池収容部１４を閉じる蓋部材２０のねじ受け孔部２０Ａに（金属製の）ナット２４がしっかりと動かないように取り付けられていることで、蓋部材２０を長期にわたって安定した取り付けを行うことができる。 In this battery housing structure, the (metal) nut 24 is firmly attached to the screw receiving hole 20A of the cover member 20 that closes the battery housing section 14, so that the cover member 20 can be stably attached for a long period of time.

また、本態様の電池収容構造によれば、ねじ受け孔部２０Ａにおいて、ナット２４のねじ孔径よりも大きい空間（ＳＰ１、ＳＰ２）が設けられていることで、ねじの軸長がナット２４を貫通するような場合でも、長軸のねじ部材の使用を許容する汎用性のある蓋部材２０を提供できる。 In addition, with this battery housing structure, the screw receiving hole portion 20A is provided with a space (SP1, SP2) larger than the screw hole diameter of the nut 24, so that a versatile cover member 20 can be provided that allows the use of a long-shaft screw member even when the axial length of the screw penetrates the nut 24.

本態様の電池収容構造では、ねじ受け孔部２０Ａの空間ＳＰ１が第１部分２１、第２部分２２の組み合わせにより形成されるので、ナット２４を蓋部材２０内に容易に組み込むことができる。 In this battery housing structure, the space SP1 of the screw receiving hole 20A is formed by the combination of the first part 21 and the second part 22, so the nut 24 can be easily assembled into the cover member 20.

また、ねじ受け孔部２０Ａのナット２４は、位置規制部２１ａ、及びナット嵌合凹部２２ｂによりしっかりと固定されているので、ねじ部材３０の取り付けが容易であり且つ蓋部材２０の締め付けを確実に行うことができる。また、蓋部材２０の内側には、電池収容部１４に対応して、電池４０の一端側を押圧可能な環状突起２０ｋが設けられていることで、蓋部材２０を取り付けたときに、電池４０を接点部材１４ｂに押し付けるように確実に所定位置に保持することができる。また、玩具１の蓋部材２０は、厚みが大きく高い剛性を備えるように構成されているので、全体的に薄型でありながら、剛性を高めることができる。また、蓋部材２０の剛性を高くできるので本体部材１０が薄型であっても、ボタン型の電池のように押圧が必要な電池４０の場合でも確実な保持・収容を行うことができる。 The nut 24 of the screw receiving hole 20A is firmly fixed by the position restricting portion 21a and the nut fitting recess 22b, so that the screw member 30 can be easily attached and the lid member 20 can be securely fastened. The inside of the lid member 20 is provided with an annular protrusion 20k that can press one end of the battery 40 in correspondence with the battery storage portion 14, so that when the lid member 20 is attached, the battery 40 can be securely held in a predetermined position by pressing it against the contact member 14b. The lid member 20 of the toy 1 is also configured to be thick and have high rigidity, so that the rigidity can be increased while being thin overall. In addition, because the rigidity of the lid member 20 can be increased, even if the main body member 10 is thin, the battery 40 that requires pressing, such as a button-type battery, can be securely held and stored.

以上、本発明の一態様について説明したが、本発明はその技術思想の範囲で適宜変更することができる。例えば上記態様においては、ナット２４が位置規制部２１ａにより保持された構成としたが、この構成に限るものではなく、位置規制部２１ａがない構成であっても良い。 Although one embodiment of the present invention has been described above, the present invention can be modified as appropriate within the scope of its technical concept. For example, in the above embodiment, the nut 24 is held by the position restricting portion 21a, but this is not limited to the above, and the present invention may be configured without the position restricting portion 21a.
