Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to a stuffed animal toy that can also be used as a figurine, and is constructed so that the animal's natural posture appears when used as a figurine.

Recently, stuffed toys that represent long-haired animals such as cats and dogs have been developed, but these toys are not made in a specimen posture like conventional toys for young children. The head, toes, and other parts are hard, but the other parts are made to be able to be deformed to some extent by loosely containing the filling material, and can be placed on a carpet or sofa, or supported on the back of a sofa. They are used as interior decorations, and people even hold them to enjoy the feel of the real thing.

The above-mentioned stuffed animal toy that also serves as a figurine is made by cutting several cloth bodies a', b', c', etc. according to a paper pattern, as shown in Figure 8, from a cloth with long hair planted on one side in advance. As shown in Figure 9, each periphery is sewn together with the raised side on the inside, leaving part of the area that corresponds to the abdomen to form a single bag.Turn it inside out so that the raised side is on the outside, and then sew the inside. It is manufactured by loosely enclosing fillers such as long-fiber polyester fibers and granular plastic pellets.

However, the animal shape made in this way is the neck cross section A', the chest cross section B',
As shown in Figure 10, each abdominal section C' has a triangular shape that is long in the vertical direction, and this means that even if the internal filling material is considerably reduced, it can be slightly bent laterally, but Flexion, which corresponds to the forward and backward bending of an animal's spine, is almost impossible. This also means that the limbs cannot be bent from the proximal end, and as a result, when holding this type of animal toy or leaning against the back of a sofa, the head is turned upward and the limbs are bent upward. is in a state of protruding forward. In addition, when the animal is placed supine on the floor, its limbs protrude upwards, and there is a gap between the back and the floor. Therefore, it is necessary to press forcefully to get as close to that state as possible. However, if the internal filling material is extremely reduced, it becomes a mere fur-like material and is meaningless.

This invention realized that in the above-mentioned conventional model, each cross section was made vertically long to match the shape of the actual animal, making it difficult to bend forward and backward, and this was solved by making it horizontally long, that is, flat. Even though it is flat, the outer surface is brushed, so
This takes advantage of the fact that there is almost no problem with the external shape.

An embodiment of this invention will be explained with reference to the drawings.
1 and 2 show a Himalayan cat as the animal toy of the present invention; FIG. 1 shows the cat being held by the chest, and FIG. 2 shows the cat lying supine on the floor. The whole is formed by making a bag-like shape by sewing several cloth bodies with the raised side as the inner surface and the periphery, and then turning it inside out and storing the filler inside. Third
The figures show cloth bodies a, b, c, d, etc. to be made into those shown in figures 1 and 2 above, and figures 4 to 6 are top views of bag-like bodies sewn together with the raised side as the inner surface. , bottom view and side view are shown. In this case, compared to the conventional one, the cloth bodies a and b are cut into shapes with almost equal widths, so as shown in FIG. have a slightly flat shape that spreads from side to side, and in particular, the waist section C shows the left and right seams 1, 1 made of cloth bodies a, b, a, b, a, a forming the back part, and cloth body b forming the abdomen. , b are made so that the upper and lower seams 2, 2 are located at symmetrical positions with respect to the internal center, that is, the shape is close to a horizontally long rhombus. The bag with this cross-sectional shape is made by turning it inside out using the unstitched part provided on the abdomen so that the raised surface is the outer surface, and then filling the inside with fillers such as long fibers and small spherical objects and suturing it. It is finished as shown in Figure 1 by adding coloring, glass eyes, etc., but inside the main body there is a part between the head and the waist and the parts of the limbs, as shown by dotted lines in Figures 1 and 2. Filler-poor parts 3, 4,
5 is provided, and this part is made with extremely little filler material to allow the torso and limbs to bend freely, and to be in a sagging state due to its own weight when held. In this case, it is preferable to separately enclose a bag in which plastic pellets are loosely sealed inside the abdomen so that the feel of the actual product can be obtained.

As described above, in this invention, the cross-sectional shape of the parts that should be the bending points, that is, the boundary between the head and the thorax, and the lower back are made slightly flat, so that they can bend forward and backward freely.In particular, the cross-sectional shape of the lower back is symmetrical. Because it has an oblong rhombus shape, it can be bent forward, backward, left and right. Furthermore, since the filler-poor parts 3, 4, and 5 allow the main body to be bent, as well as to be slightly compressed and deformed in the front-back direction, in this invention, the entire body can be easily placed on the floor, resembling a real animal. A prone or supine posture with the child close to the floor is naturally formed, and when the person is held in the arms as shown in Figure 1, the limbs hang down, and when the person is held supine as shown in Figure 2, the limbs, neck, etc. It is very interesting because it is in a relaxed state along the floor surface and has a realistic appearance.

Claims (1)

[Claims] 1 The main body is made by sewing several pieces of cloth cut into a predetermined shape into a bag with the raised side facing inside, then turning it inside out and loosely storing a filler inside, where the boundary between the head and chest is The parts corresponding to the head and waist are made slightly flat, and the left and right seams and upper and lower seams of the waist are symmetrically positioned from the center of the interior. An animal toy that doubles as a figurine, characterized in that bendable filling/decreasing parts are formed in the contacting part and the part contacting the base of the limbs.
