Patent Description:
During all kinds of festivals such as Spring Festival, Mid-Autumn Festival, Christmas or friends' birthdays, it is indispensable to distribute various gifts. In order to hand out creative and DIY gifts, people often look for gifts that can be easily completed and within reasonable price. The most common gifts on the market in this category are paper-made models. Since such gifts have the advantage of being flat and easy to carry, while able to be assembled via simple folding and assembling, such paper-made gifts have become a popular option for gifts. For example, <CIT> provides a toy garage structure which is a combination of a paper board box section comprising a top wall constituting a floor member and downwardly folded side flanges for supporting the floor member at an elevation from a ground surface on which the structure is set up.

However, the traditional paper-made gifts are usually fixed by setting interlocking slits, which can be assembled by fitting the upper and lower parts together. For those who are less skilled in handicrafts, it may be easy to damage the interlocking slits during assembly, resulting in the structure of the paper-made gifts to be relatively weak after assembly, or simply unable to complete the assembly. In addition, for the paper-made gift with a long structure, the interlocking slits must be longer (or deeper) for the firmness of the finished product, and makes it easier to damage the parts when the slits are fitted with each other, and the disassembly also become relatively inconvenient, resulting in people who are less skilled in handicrafts often lack of interest when receiving paper-made gifts, and unable to enjoy DIY assembly.

In view of the foregoing, it is necessary to improve the assembly structure of paper-made gifts, so that people who are less skilled in handicraft can easily assemble and enjoy the fun of making gifts by themselves.

As such, the inventors aimed to provide a creative assembly model structure to tackle the deficiencies of the known technology based on years of experience in manufacturing, development and designing of related products, so as to promote the implementation and utilization of the industry.

The present invention provides a creative assembly model structure, which comprises a base and two modeling bodies. Wherein, a top surface of the base includes a plurality of first insertion slots, and each of the two modeling bodies includes two first protruding parts, at least one fitting part, a folding line, a plurality of modeling holes, and a slit extending from a lower side of each of the plurality of modeling holes. Each of the two modeling bodies has a left-right symmetrical shape to facilitate folding in half.

The two first protruding parts of the modeling body are located at the lower end of the modeling body to be inserted into the plurality of first insertion slots; the folding lines are respectively arranged along the center of the modeling body from an upper end of the modeling body to a lower end of the modeling body, so that the modeling body appears symmetrical after folding left and right; the at least one fitting part of the modeling body is disposed along the folding line; and each of the plurality of modeling holes of the modeling body is located inside the modeling body.

When assembling the creative assembly model structure, start by folding the two modeling bodies in half along the folding line, so that the at least one fitting part expands to form a fitting protrusion and a fitting notch corresponding to each other; then insert the two first protruding parts respectively provided at the lower ends of the two modeling bodies into the plurality of first insertion slots of the base for fixing; finally the fitting protrusions and the fitting notches that are formed by expanding the two modeling bodies after being folded along the folding lines respectively, are fitted and fastened to each other (i.e. the fitting protrusion of one fitted to the fitting notch of the other) for fixing the modeling bodies to each other along the folding lines thereof, and thus the assembly of the creative assembly model structure is completed.

The shape of the fitting parts may have different shapes, such as a semicircle, a triangle, a rectangle or a rhombus and the like, but not limited thereto. When the two modeling bodies are folded respectively, the fitting protrusions and the fitting notch having different shapes may be formed.

The plurality of modeling holes may be configured as openings with different shapes and sizes, and the slit configured below the modeling holes may be used to hang ornaments therein.

The two modeling bodies may be selected between different shapes according to different occasions. For example, when used as a Christmas paper-made gift, the modeling bodies can be made into the shape of a Christmas tree; or when used as a building model, the modeling bodies can be made into the shape of the Eiffel Tower, but not limited thereto.

In addition, the top surface of the base of the creative assembly model structure may further include a plurality of second insertion slots to insert a plurality of modeling parts for increased aesthetics. Each of the plurality of modeling parts also includes two second protruding parts, a folding line, a plurality of modeling holes, and a slit configured below each of the plurality of modeling holes. Each of the modeling parts also has a left-right symmetrical shape to facilitate folding in half.

The two second protruding parts of the modeling parts are located at the lower end of the modeling parts; the folding lines are respectively arranged along the center of the modeling parts from an upper end to a lower end, so the modeling parts appear symmetrical after folding left and right; and each of the plurality of modeling holes of the modeling parts is located inside the modeling parts.

When assembling the plurality of modeling parts, start by folding each modeling parts in half along the folding line; then insert the two protruding parts respectively provided at the lower ends of the plurality of modeling parts into the plurality of second insertion slots of the base for fixing, and thus the assembly of the plurality of modeling parts are completed.

The plurality of modeling parts also may be selected between different shapes according to different occasions. For example, when used as a Christmas paper-made gift, the plurality of modeling parts can be made into the shape of a Christmas tree; or when used as a building model, the plurality of modeling parts can be made into the shape of tourists, but not limited thereto.

Furthermore, the numbers of the plurality of modeling parts may be determined according to different occasions. For example, when used as a Christmas paper-made gift, the plurality of modeling parts can be used to occupy each and every second insertion slots of the base; or when used as a building model, one may choose to use only one of the modeling parts to be inserted into one of the plurality of second insertion slots of the base.

According to the creative assembly model structure developed by the inventor of the present invention, after inserting the modeling bodies and the modeling parts into the base, and fitting/fastening the fitting protrusions and the fitting notch of the two modeling bodies to each other, the assembly of may be easily completed. Therefore, the present invention may overcome the problems of conventional paper-made gifts where the parts being easily damaged when the slits are fitted with each other, and the inconvenience during disassembly, so people who are less skilled in handicrafts may also complete the assembly easily, and thus able to enjoy the fun of making gifts by themselves.
