Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] (Industrial Application Field) The present invention provides an eyelid member that is formed to open and close using the buoyancy of liquid with respect to an eyeball member that is fixed inside an eyeball holder. Regarding live eyes.

(Prior Art) Conventionally, when trying to improve the realism of this type of live eye with eyelids, the structure was complicated, the production was complicated, and the cost was high.

(Technical Problem of the Invention) The present invention has been made in view of the above-mentioned viewpoints, and is particularly designed to have a simple structure, be easily manufactured, and improve realism when attached to a stuffed toy doll, etc. The purpose is to propose a method that can be used.

(Technical means to solve the problem) As a technical means to solve the above problem,
The live eye according to the present invention is a live eye characterized by having the following requirements.

(b) An eyeball holding member is fixed inside a hollow eyeball holding body formed of a transparent material, and a pupil is provided in the front part of the eyeball member. (b) An eyelid is provided on the outside of the eyeball member. (c) The eyelid member is rotatably supported on support shafts formed on both left and right sides of the interior of the eyeball holder. (c) The eyelid member is filled with liquid. (E) The eyelid member is normally placed in a position where it is retracted from the pupil (Operations and Effects of the Invention) Since the present invention is configured as described above, the external When viewing the live eye according to the present invention from above, the eyeball member appears natural as it is transmitted through the eyeball holder through the liquid, and when the eyeball holder is directed upward, the effect of the buoyancy of the internal liquid Therefore, since the eyelid member is maintained upward, the pupil portion of the eyeball member is hidden. In this way, the eyelids open and close by rotating the eyeball holder up and down,
When the live eyes are attached to a rag doll or the like, the eyes appear to be open when the rag doll is standing and closed when it is sleeping. Therefore,
The realism of dolls, etc. can be improved. Furthermore, the structure is simple and manufacturing is easy, so costs can be reduced.

(Example) Hereinafter, an example of an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

In the figure, symbol A indicates a live eye. This live eye A
is composed of an eyeball holder 1, an eyeball member 2, an eyelid member 3, and the like.

The eyeball holder 1 is composed of a hollow spherical part 1a made of transparent resin, and a mounting piece 4 integrally formed to protrude from the back surface of the spherical part 1a. A through hole 5 is bored at the tip of this attachment piece 4. Further, the eyeball member 2 is housed inside the spherical part 1a with a space 7, and the center of the front part thereof is colored black to form a pupil part 2a, and both sides of the pupil part 2a are provided in the spherical part 1a. It is supported and fixed by supporting shafts 6, 6. Thereby, the eyeball member 2 is reliably housed and fixed within the spherical portion 1a with a certain gap 7 around the eyeball member 2. Note that the color of the pupil 2a provided at the center of the front part of the eyeball member 2 is not necessarily limited to black, and may be blue, brown, etc., for example.

A space 7 inside the eyeball member 2 and the spherical portion 1a is filled with a liquid 8 such as water. This liquid 8 preferably has a large specific gravity, and may be colored, but in this case, the eyeball member 2
Needless to say, this is an excessive density that allows the light to pass through the spherical portion 1a.

The eyelid member 3 has a substantially four-hemispherical shape, and supports portions 3a, 3 at both ends of the central portion thereof so as to be rotatable within the inner space 7 between the eyeball member 2 and the spherical portion 1a.
a is pivotally supported by the support shafts 6, 6. As a result, the eyelid member 3 rotates within the space 7 around the support shafts 6, 6 due to the buoyant force of the liquid 8 such as water filled in the spherical portion 1a, and always moves upward. The eyeball member 2 is normally maintained at a position away from the pupil 2a provided at the front of the eyeball member 2. Therefore, when the eyeball holder 1 is directed upward, the eyelid member 3 rotates upward due to the buoyancy of the liquid inside the eyeball holder 1, and the eyeball member 2
The pupil 2a is hidden. In this way, the eyelid member 3 opens and closes by rotating the eyeball holder 1 up and down, so that the eye appears to open and close.

It goes without saying that the eyelid member 3 is made of a material whose specific gravity is lighter than that of the liquid 8.
Further, the shape is not limited to a hemispherical shape either. Furthermore, eyelashes may be drawn on the tip of the eyelid member 3.

As described above, the live eye A has a simple structure and can be easily manufactured, so that costs can be reduced.

Note that the active eye configuration is not limited to the above example. For example, as shown in Fig. 4a and b, a circular white bottom plate 1
A transparent bottomed cylindrical part 15 is integrally formed on the bottom plate 14 to constitute the eyeball holder 1, and a rod-shaped pupil part 2a is fixed to the bottom plate 14. While rotatably supporting the eyelid member 3,
The structure may be such that the eyeball holder 1 is filled with liquid.

Next, the eyeball holder 1 is attached to a stuffed toy doll 10.
To attach it to the face part 11 of the
A spherical portion 1a is disposed on the attachment surface 12 of the face portion 11, and a protruding attachment piece 4 is provided on the back surface of the spherical portion 1a.
What is necessary is just to insert and hold it in the holding piece 13a of the holding member 13 buried in the inside. Thereby, the eyeball holder 1 can be easily attached to the face 11 of the stuffed toy doll 10. Note that the method for attaching the eyeball holder 1 is not limited to this, and for example, it may be fixed by inserting a thread or the like into the through hole 5 formed in the attachment piece 4, or by adhesive, etc. You can read it.

The active eye A has an eyeball member 2 fixed with a certain gap 7 inside an eyeball holder 1 formed of a transparent material, and an eyelid member 3 attached to the eyeball member 7. The rag doll 10 has a simple structure that is pivoted so that it can be opened and closed by the action of the buoyant force of the liquid 8 such as water that is filled inside the rag doll 10. It opens and acts like closing your eyes when you are asleep. Therefore, the realism of the doll can be improved.

In the above embodiment, the live eyes A are attached to the stuffed toy doll 10, but the present invention is not limited to this, and may be applied to, for example, a monster toy.
