Abstract (en)
[origin: EP2113293A2] A toy cup (1), and a toy dispenser (2) for simulating the dispensing of a beverage therein, which are realistic because a liquid in the cup (1) gradually goes out of sight when the toy cup (1) is tilted, and returns when the toy cup (1) is set on the toy dispenser (2) and an operating member (51) is operated, as if a drink were poured from a dispenser into a cup. The toy cup (1) includes a hermetically closed container (10) and a division plate (13) dividing an interior of the container (10) into upper and lower chambers (UR, LR). The division plate (13) has a plurality of small holes (23) at its periphery at predetermined intervals for communicating the chambers (UR, LR) with each other and permitting a liquid (L) to flow, and an upwardly protruding vent tube (25) provided at the center thereof to communicate the chambers (UR, LR) with each other. Opening/closing of the vent tube (25) is controlled by a control valve (27). The toy dispenser (2) includes a placement base (40), on which the toy cup (1) is placed, and a control device (50) provided above the placement base (40) for controlling opening/closing of the control valve (27).
