DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to an elbow and a knee, as well as a base of an arm and a leg, which can be bent or opened to a shape close to a natural movement of a human being, and furthermore, deformed. The present invention relates to a structure of an arm or foot of a doll having a good shape-retaining property capable of maintaining a stable shape.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, a doll in which an elbow or a knee can be bent by a structure of an arm or a foot is disclosed in, for example, Japanese Utility Model Laid-Open No. 62-164.
It is known as described in US Pat. This device is a doll's arm and foot structure that allows the elbows and knees to bend freely and open the angle at the base of the arm or foot. The arms and legs of this doll are made of soft synthetic resin. formed by wood, the core material was Inserts in the arms and legs together with the split in the portion of the elbow or knee, by connecting the divided portions of a metal strip of soft, arms and legs in the connecting portion Can be bent, and the upper end of the core material has a vertical axis provided with a flange at its tip protruding, and the vertical axis is inserted into a through hole provided at the base of the arm or foot of the doll body to be attached. Thus, the arms and legs are also configured to open freely.

[0003]

However, the operation of turning the arms and legs of the doll constructed as described above in the forward and backward directions at the base of the torso does not hinder at all, but the operation of opening the angles outward. The external force may be increased by the force applied when bending forward or backward in order to bend the elbows and knees of the arms and legs further after opening outward in this way. There is a drawback in that the attachment is concentrated on the shaft and the attachment force on the vertical axis is broken by the concentrated force, so that the arms and legs are torn off from the body of the doll. Therefore, the object of the present invention is
In order to solve such a problem, it is an object of the present invention to provide an improved doll arm or foot structure.

[0005]

The arm or foot of the present invention constructed as described above can be rotated forward , backward, left and right or opened outwardly while the longitudinal axis protruding from the upper end is inserted into a small hole provided in the body and combined. Although it is possible to corner, even if particularly concentrated in the strong force is the vertical axis plus when to Hirakikaku outward during this operation, the force of the core material is cut in advance cross shape at weak spots located As a result, the core material is vertically divided and almost no force is applied to the vertical axis, so that the vertical axis is not broken. By forming the weak point in a thin part, a narrow part or a through hole, the weak point after division is formed.
When the arm or leg is opened outward at the base of the arm, the force transmitted to the longitudinal axis is dispersed to reduce the force applied thereto . Moreover, since the cutting of the core at the weak point is performed after the arms and feet are formed, there is no hindrance to the formation of the arms and feet, and the core is completely embedded in the soft synthetic resin. Therefore, the function to be performed by the core material is not impaired.

[0006]

An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 shows a core inserted into the arm 1a of the doll shown in FIG. 2, and FIG. 3 shows a core inserted into the foot 1b of the doll shown in FIG. These cores 2 and 3 are formed separately in the upper half and the lower half of the arms and legs, respectively.
3 is connected by a soft metal strip 4 with its wide surface 5 facing forward, and a thin portion is provided at a position close to the upper end of the core material 2 in the upper half, or the width is reduced as shown in FIG. A weak point 6 is provided by narrowing or further opening a circular hole as shown in FIG. 3, and a hemispherical bulge 7 is formed inward of the weak point 6 and a vertical groove 8 is provided in the center thereof. A horizontal axis 9 is provided in the vertical groove 8 so that the lower end of the vertical axis 10 is pivoted on the horizontal axis 9. The vertical axis 10 has a length whose tip protrudes from the bulging portion 7, and has a disk-shaped flange 11 fixed to the head thereof.

Then, the core members 2 and 3 connected by the metal band plate 4 are inserted into a soft synthetic resin material such as polyvinyl chloride resin, and the doll arm 1a shown in FIG. 2 and the doll foot 1b shown in FIG. Are integrally formed. A hemispherical attachment portion 12 is formed at the upper end of the inner surface of each of the arms 1a and the legs 1b, and a long hole 13 is formed in the attachment portion 12, and the longitudinal axis 10 is loosely fitted in the long hole 13. It is rotatable in the direction of the arrow. The weak point 6 is bent by bending the arm 1a and the foot 1b thus formed several times at a position below the bulging portion 12, that is, near the weak point 6 provided on the core member 2, so that the weak point 6 is shown in FIGS. Cut 14 transversely as shown in FIG.

FIG. 5 is an exploded view of the doll's torso to which these arms 1a and feet 1b are assembled. As shown in FIG. 6, the body is divided into an upper body 15 and a lower body 16, and the upper body 15 and the lower body 16 are also divided into a front half 15a, 16a and a rear half 15b, 16b, respectively, and the inside is hollow. Formed. A concave spherical base 18 having a small hole 17 at the center thereof is provided at each of the shoulders of the upper body 15, and a circular hole 19 is formed at the lower end of the upper body 15 at the center thereof.

On the other hand, a neck 21 having a flange 20 on its upper surface is projected from the upper end of the front half 16a and the rear half 16b of the lower body 16, and the neck 21 is engaged with the circular hole 19 of the upper body 15. Thus, the upper body 15 and the lower body 16 are integrally and rotatably connected. A concave spherical base 23 having small holes 22 formed at the center on the left and right sides of the lower body 16, respectively.
Is provided.

When the front half 16a and the rear half 16b of the lower body 16 are assembled together, the left and right roots 23,
23, the mounting portions 12 of the legs 1b, 1b are fitted, respectively.
0 is inserted into the small hole 21, and the flange 11 is locked in the lower body 16. Similarly, the first half 15 of the upper body 15
a and the rear half 15b are united and assembled, the mounting portions 12 of the arms 1a, 1a are respectively inserted into the left and right roots 18, 18, the vertical axis 10 is inserted into the small holes 17, and the flange 11 is inserted into the upper body 15. FIG. 6 shows the state where the upper body 15 is assembled with the flange 20 provided at the upper end of the lower body 16 previously assembled fitted into the circular hole 19 provided at the lower end of the upper body 15. As described above, the upper body 15 and the lower body 16 are integrated.

[0011] As the solid line shown in figures A Figure 6 assembled in this way the chain line, when raising the arms 1a forward is rotated by the vertical axis 10 about the arm 1a also one < When bent at the elbow as indicated by the dashed line, it is bent at the metal strip 4. The foot 1b is also rotated or bent in the same manner .
When the arm 1a and the leg 1b are opened from the solid line position in FIG. 7 as indicated by a dashed line, the vertical axis 10 can move through the long hole 13 to be opened at an arbitrary angle.

A strong external force is applied to the upper ends of the arms 1a and the legs 1b when the arms 1a and the legs 1b are opened outward as well as when the arms 1a and the legs 1b are bent at the elbows and the knees. The external force is not concentrated on the vertical axis 10 because the weak point 6 provided at the upper end of the core 2 is cut transversely 14 so that the external force is not concentrated on the vertical axis 10.
Does not break. For this reason, the arm 1a and the foot 1b
Can be maintained, the posture can be changed to an arbitrary shape as needed, and the hand 1a and the foot 1b are not broken at all.

Even if the core 2 is cut 14 transversely at the weak point 6, the core 2 is already
Since it is cut after being insert-molded in b, the function and strength of the arm 1a and the foot 1b are not impaired.
That is, the weak point 6 only needs to hold the core material 2 until the arm 1a and the foot 1b are integrally formed.

Since the weak point 6 is formed in a thin portion, when the base of the arm or foot is opened outward, there are few portions where the edges divided at the cut portion 14 overlap each other. the so-called such phenomena leverage, that is, easily able to perform opening angle operation, reduces the force applied to the longitudinal axis 10 without causing mounting thread
You.

Further, by forming the weak point 6 in the narrow portion, the width of the weak point 6 is narrower than that in the case where the weak point 6 is formed by the thin portion in the operation of opening the base of the arm or foot outward. only screw only been reduced, and the vertical axis 10
Can be further reduced.

Further, by forming the weak point 6 in the through-hole, the cross-sectional area of the cut 14 can be made smaller than that in the case where the weak point 6 is formed at the thin portion or the narrow portion. The force applied to the longitudinal axis 10 during the bending to open the base of the foot or the outside outward can be reduced more than any of the above.

[0017]

As described above, the arms and legs of the doll of the present invention can be used to cut the weak point of the core material inserted in the center part , for example, before assembling it to the torso of the doll, to raise and lower the core material. The external force applied when opening or rotating at the base of the arm or foot, or bending the elbow or knee is dispersed above and below the core material, and almost Since no force is applied, the vertical axis at the base of the arm or foot is prevented from breaking, and the arm or foot does not separate from the base of the doll's torso. Can be transformed.
