## Abstract

A support structure of a toy for figure play includes a supporting member and the fixing part. The supporting member includes a base end portion, a middle portion and a distal portion, and extends upward from the base end portion toward the middle portion and downward from the middle portion toward the distal end portion. The distal end portion is configured to support a supported body. The base end portion includes a contacting portion having an arcuate contacting surface and an elastic locking portion. The fixing part is fixed to a main body of the toy for figure play, and includes a contacted portion configured to contact the contacting portion and a locked portion configured to be detachably locked to the elastic locking portion.

## Claims

### Claim 1

A support structure of a toy for figure play, the support structure comprising:
a supporting member comprising a base end portion, a middle portion and a distal portion, and extending upward from the base end portion toward the middle portion and downward from the middle portion toward the distal end portion, the distal end portion being configured to support a supported body, the base end portion comprising a contacting portion having an arcuate contacting surface and an elastic locking portion; and
a fixing part fixed to a main body of the toy for figure play, the fixing part comprising a contacted portion configured to contact the contacting portion and a locked portion configured to be detachably locked to the elastic locking portion.

### Claim 2 (depends on 1)

The support structure of a toy for figure play according to claim 1, wherein the supporting member is formed in an arc shape.

### Claim 3 (depends on 1)

The support structure of a toy for figure play according to claim 1,
wherein the fixing part has an opening portion,
wherein the elastic locking portion is provided on both sides of the contacting portion with a slit interposed therebetween, and
wherein the locked portion is provided at an edge portion of an opening portion.

### Claim 4 (depends on 1)

The support structure of a toy for figure play according to claim 1,
wherein the supported body comprises: a rotation shaft configured to be rotatably provided on the supporting member such that the rotation shaft extends in a vertical direction; and a rotating body detachably locked to the rotation shaft, and
wherein an escaping force required for causing the rotating body to escape from the rotation shaft is smaller than a releasing force required for releasing locking of the elastic locking portion and the locked portion.

### Claim 5 (depends on 4)

The support structure of a toy for figure play according to claim 4, wherein the rotating body comprises a plurality of swings configured to allow one or more figures to be placed thereon.
