Model toy and cooking toy

Abstract

A model toy includes: a main body; a container portion having an opening opened upward; a rotational plate provided inside the container portion and including a first plate surface and a second plate surface opposite to the first plate surface; a rotational shaft configured to support the rotational plate in the container portion rotatably to allow the first and second plate surfaces to be turned over; and an operation portion configured to perform rotational operation. In response to operation of the operation portion, the rotational plate is configured to be switched between a first state and a second state. In the first state, an inner portion of the container portion and the opening are partitioned while the first plate surface is oriented upward. In the second state, the inner portion of the container portion and the opening are partitioned while the second plate surface is oriented upward.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A model toy comprising:
 a main body;   a container portion provided in the main body and having an opening that is opened upward;   a rotational plate provided inside the container portion and comprising a first plate surface and a second plate surface opposite to the first plate surface;   a rotational shaft configured to support the rotational plate in the container portion rotatably to allow the first plate surface and the second plate surface to be turned over; and   an operation portion provided in the main body and configured to perform rotational operation,   wherein in response to operation of the operation portion, the rotational plate is configured to be switched between a first state and a second state, the first state where an inner portion of the container portion and the opening are partitioned while the first plate surface is oriented upward, the second state where the inner portion of the container portion and the opening are partitioned while the second plate surface is oriented upward.   
     
     
         2 . The model toy according to  claim 1 ,
 wherein the rotational plate has a substantially discoid shape, and   wherein an inner surface of the container portion has a substantially hemispherical shape along a locus of a periphery of the rotational plate obtained by rotating the rotational plate.   
     
     
         3 . The model toy according to  claim 1 ,
 wherein the rotational shaft comprises a locking protrusion that protrudes from an outer circumferential surface of the rotational shaft, the locking protrusion being configured to be locked in a shaft fixing portion provided in the main body in the first state, and escape from the shaft fixing portion by the rotation shaft being rotated from the first state.   
     
     
         4 . The model toy according to  claim 1 ,
 wherein the rotational shaft comprises a regulation protrusion that protrudes from an outer circumferential surface of the rotational shaft, the regulation protrusion being configured to regulate rotation of the rotation shaft in one direction around an axis of the rotation shaft by interfering, in at least one of the first state and the second state, with a shaft regulation portion provided in the main body.   
     
     
         5 . A cooking toy comprising:
 a main body;   a container portion provided in the main body and having an opening that is opened upward;   a rotational plate provided inside the container portion and comprising a first plate surface and a second plate surface opposite to the first plate surface;   a rotational shaft configured to support the rotational plate in the container portion rotatably to allow the first plate surface and the second plate surface to be turned over;   an operation portion provided in the main body and configured to perform rotational operation; and   a figure body imitating a shape of a cooking object,   wherein in response to operation of the operation portion, the rotational plate is configured to be switched between a first state and a second state, the first state where an inner portion of the container portion and the opening are partitioned while the first plate surface is oriented upward, the second state where the inner portion of the container portion and the opening are partitioned while the second plate surface is oriented upward, and   wherein the figure body has a size to allow the figure body to be stored in a space of the inner portion of the container portion partitioned by the rotational plate.
