Abstract
A toy set includes: a first mold portion including: a first base portion, and an indentation formation portion extending from the first base portion, the indentation formation portion including an edge. The first mold portion is configured to receive a moldable material, the indentation formation portion is configured to form an indentation in a first side of the moldable material, and the indentation allows the moldable material to fold without separating.
Claims32
A toy set comprising:
- a first mold portion comprising:
- a first base portion;
- and
- an indentation formation portion extending from the first base portion, the indentation formation portion comprising an edge, wherein
- the first mold portion is configured to receive a moldable material;
- the indentation formation portion is configured to form a first sub-segment, a second sub-segment, and an indentation between the first sub-segment and the second sub-segment in a first side of the moldable material;
- and
- the indentation formation portion is configured such that the indentation allows the moldable material to fold without separating a second side of the moldable material that is opposite to the first side and with the first sub-segment and the second sub-segment making physical contact only at the indentation.
(canceled)
A method of forming a toy from a moldable material, the method comprising:
- placing the moldable material into a first mold portion, the first mold portion comprising an indentation formation portion;
- pressing the moldable material into the first mold portion and the indentation formation portion to thereby form a first sub-segment, a second sub-segment, and an indentation between the first sub-segment and the second sub-segment in a first side of the moldable material;
- removing the moldable material from the first mold portion;
- and
- forming the toy by folding the moldable material at the indentation, wherein, when the moldable material is folded at the indentation, a second side of the moldable material that is opposite to the first side does not separate and the first sub-segment and the second sub-segment make physical contact only at the indentation.
(canceled)
A toy set comprising:
- a first mold portion comprising:
- a first base portion, and
- a plurality of formation portions extending from the first base portion, each of the plurality of indentation formation portions comprising an edge;
- and
- a second mold portion comprising:
- a second base portion, and
- at least one design projection extending from the second base portion, wherein
- the first mold portion is configured to receive a moldable material,
- each of the plurality of edges is configured to form an indentation in a first side of the moldable material,
- each of the plurality of indentations is configured to allow the moldable material to fold without a second side of the moldable material that is opposite the first side separating, and
- each of the at least one design projections is configured to form an imprint in a second side of the moldable material while the moldable material is received in the first mold portion.
A mold portion for a toy, the mold portion comprising:
- a planar base portion comprising a perimeter that surrounds a first side of the planar base portion, the first side of the planar base portion being configured to receive a moldable and imprintable material;
- a plurality of indentation formation portions that extend from a first side of the planar base portion along a first direction, each of the indentation formation portions configured to form an indentation in the moldable material received in the first side of the planar base portion;
- a plurality of design projections that extend from the first side of the planar base portion along the first direction, each of the design projections configured to form an imprint on the moldable material received in the first side of the planar base portion;
- and
- a cutting portion that extends from the first side of the planar base portion, the cutting portion being at or inside the perimeter, wherein
- the cutting portion is configured to cut through the moldable material received in the first side of the planar base portion, and
- the indentations are configured such that the moldable material folds at each of the indentation without separating.
