Abstract
A breakable shell defining an enclosure within which a toy is contained. The breakable shell has a plurality of plastic shell pieces able to self-retain together to define the enclosure. The shell, when dropped from a sufficient height on a solid surface will break apart by the shell pieces all disconnecting from each other thereby revealing the toy.
Claims22
A breakable shell defining an enclosure within which a toy is contained, the breakable shell comprising of a plurality of plastic shell pieces able to self-retain together to define the enclosure yet when dropped from a sufficient height on a solid surface the shell pieces all disconnect from each other thereby revealing the toy, wherein each shell piece is in an underlapping condition with two adjacent shell pieces at two opposed peripheral regions of the shell piece, and in an overlapping condition with another two adjacent shell pieces at two other opposed peripheral regions of the shell piece, and wherein each shell piece is resiliently flexible, and when the shell is in its assembled condition each of the shell pieces is outwardly flexed and is in a more flexed state compared to when the shell is in the broken condition.
A breakable shell defining an enclosure within which an item can be contained, the breakable shell comprising of a plurality of plastic shell pieces able to self-connect together to define the enclosure yet when dropped on a solid surface the shell pieces all disconnect from each other, wherein each shell piece is in an underlapping condition with two adjacent shell pieces at two opposed peripheral regions of the shell piece, and in an overlapping condition with another two adjacent shell pieces at two other opposed peripheral regions of the shell piece, and wherein each shell piece is resiliently flexible, and when the shell is in its assembled condition each of the shell pieces is outwardly flexed and is in a more flexed state compared to when the shell is in the broken condition.
A toy contained inside an enclosure of a breakable shell comprising of a plurality of plastic shell pieces self-connected together in a releasable manner to define the enclosure, wherein when dropped on flat solid surface from at least 1 m high, the shell pieces all separate from each other thereby revealing the toy, wherein each shell piece is in an underlapping condition with two adjacent shell pieces at two opposed peripheral regions of the shell piece, and in an overlapping condition with another two adjacent shell pieces at two other opposed peripheral regions of the shell piece, and wherein each shell piece is resiliently flexible, and when the shell is in its assembled condition each of the shell pieces is outwardly flexed and is in a more flexed state compared to when the shell is in the broken condition.
