(57) 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).
