Pressing Toy

Abstract

A pressing toy made of silicone is disclosed, including a first hollow housing and a second hollow housing that can be assembled into a housing body. The inner cavity of the first hollow housing and the inner cavity of the second hollow housing are assembled to form an inflatable chamber. The outer peripheral wall of the housing body is provided with a number of elastic protrusions that protrude outward. The elastic protrusions are of a hollow structure, and the inner cavity of each of the elastic protruding protrusions is communicated with the inflatable chamber. By pressing the housing body, some of the elastic protrusions are raised, or some elastic protrusions can be pressed so that some other elastic protrusions are raised, thereby creating a visual feedback of the deformation caused by the pressing action.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A pressing toy, made of silicone material, comprising a first hollow housing and a second hollow housing that are operative to assembled into a housing body, wherein an inner cavity of the first hollow housing and an inner cavity of the second hollow housing are operative to be assembled to form an inflatable chamber, wherein a plurality of elastic protrusions that protrude outward are disposed on an outer peripheral wall of the housing body, wherein the plurality of elastic protrusions are each of a hollow structure, and an inner cavity of each of the plurality of elastic protrusions is in communication with the inflatable chamber. 
     
     
         2 . The pressing toy as recited in  claim 1 , a vent hole is defined in the outer peripheral wall of the housing body and is in communication with the inflatable chamber. 
     
     
         3 . The pressing toy as recited in  claim 2 , wherein the vent hole is defined in a corresponding elastic protrusion. 
     
     
         4 . The pressing toy as recited in  claim 2 , wherein the vent hole is a round hole, and has a diameter that is greater than or equal to 0.5 mm. 
     
     
         5 . The pressing toy as recited in  claim 1 , wherein a wall thickness of each of the plurality of elastic protrusions is smaller than a wall thickness of the portions of the outer peripheral wall of the housing body that are not provided with the elastic protrusions. 
     
     
         6 . The pressing toy as recited in  claim 5 , wherein the wall thickness of each of the plurality of the elastic protrusions is greater than or equal to 0.7 mm. 
     
     
         7 . The pressing toy as recited in  claim 5 , wherein the portions of the outer peripheral wall of the housing body not provided with the elastic protrusions have a wall thickness greater than or equal to 1.5 mm. 
     
     
         8 . The pressing toy as recited in  claim 1 , wherein the inner peripheral wall of the housing body is recessed outward to define a transition groove, which surrounds the respective elastic protrusion and is in communication with the inner cavity of the respective elastic protrusion. 
     
     
         9 . The pressing toy as recited in  claim 8 , wherein a thickness of the transition groove is less than or equal to the wall thickness of the respective elastic protrusion. 
     
     
         10 . The pressing toy as recited in  claim 8 , wherein a width of the transition groove is greater than or equal to 0.8 mm. 
     
     
         11 . The pressing toy as recited in  claim 1 , wherein a hardness of each of the plurality of elastic protrusions is less than that of the portions of the outer peripheral wall of the housing body that are not provided with the elastic protrusions. 
     
     
         12 . The pressing toy as recited in  claim 1 , wherein the first hollow housing and the second hollow housing are bonded as a whole. 
     
     
         13 . The pressing toy as recited in  claim 12 , wherein one of the first hollow housing and the second hollow housing comprises a positioning groove, and the other comprises a positioning protrusion that cooperates with the positioning groove, and wherein at least two mating surfaces of the positioning protrusion and the positioning groove are set as bonding surfaces. 
     
     
         14 . The pressing toy as recited in  claim 13 , wherein a total width of the bonding surfaces is greater than the wall thickness of the portions of outer peripheral wall of the housing body that are not provided with the elastic protrusions. 
     
     
         15 . The pressing toy as recited in  claim 13 , wherein the bonding surfaces comprise an anti-overflow glue slot, which is defined in a groove wall of the positioning groove and/or in the positioning protrusion. 
     
     
         16 . The pressing toy as recited in  claim 1 , wherein the housing body is a polyhedron, a sphere-like body, or an ellipsoid.
