Benefits of technology

[0005] An object of the present invention is to provide a snowman toy which has good translucence and reflection of light and therefore represents the traditional sparkly, crystalline appearance of a snowman.
[0007] The snowman toy of the present invention is made by transparent EVA material with good translucence and reflection of light, thereby fully representing the sparkling and crystalline features of snowman. Furthermore, the snowman toy has functions of playing music, emitting colorful light, rotating the body and swaying the head, which increase the entertainment effect.

Problems solved by technology

However, when the weather gets warm and no longer snows, the traditional snowman soon melts and cannot be formed again.
A fabric snowman has thus been provided, but it does not allow light to pass through itself as a traditional snowman does.
Furthermore, it has poor light reflection and cannot sparkle as a snowman traditionally does.

Embodiment Construction

[0011] Referring to FIGS. 1 and 2, a snowman toy of the present invention is made by EVA (ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer) material. The EVA material is tenacious, durable, waterproof, moistureproof, dustproof, corrosion proof, environmentally friendly, useable at low temperature, foldable, bendable, and has shape-restorable.

[0012] The EVA snowman toy includes a housing 1, a body 2 and a head 3.

[0013] The housing 1 is disc-shaped. A battery box 11 is disposed in the middle of the housing 1 for receiving a plurality of batteries. A switch 12 is disposed near the battery box 11 for controlling whether the batteries supply power or not.

[0014] The body 2 is a hollow case formed by melting and joining outer edges of a plurality of EVA granules. The outline of the body 2 is generally in a shape of one big ball and one small ball connected together and so looks like two stacked snowballs. The body 2 is mounted on the housing 1 and is hollow. A right and left rotation mechanism 21 is di...

Abstract

A snowman toy includes a housing, a body mounted on the housing and rotatable in right and left directions, and a head mounted on the top of the body and swayable in right and left directions. The body and the head respectively are a hollow case which is formed by melting and joining outer edges of a plurality of EVA granules. The EVA granules are transparent and a great quantity of apertures are defined between the EVA granules. A plurality of LEDs and a music player are disposed in the interior of the snowman toy. The snowman toy of the present invention is made by EVA material with good translucence and reflection of light, thereby fully representing the sparkling and crystalline features of a traditional snowman. Furthermore, the snowman toy has functions of playing music, emitting colorful light, rotating the body and swaying the head, which increase the entertainment effect.
