[0026] The waist portion 15 of the doll toy 10 of the present embodiment has a model member 20 that connects the trunk portion 12, the right leg portion 16, and the left leg portion 17. Hereinafter, the structure example of the model member 20 will be described while explaining the assembly thereof in order. Figures 2-5 The assembly of the model member 20 will be described in order while explaining the structure example thereof. Figures 2-5 A drawing showing the model member 20 viewed from the front left oblique side is shown.

[0027] Referring to Figure 2 , the model member 20 is provided with a first fitting member 21 and a second fitting member 22. Figure 2 A case in which the first fitting member 21 and the second fitting member 22 are connected to each other is shown.

[0028] The first fitting 21 has a first joint portion 21a that is joined to the first portion 24a of the base fitting 24 in a rotatable manner as described later, and a first extension portion 21b that is provided so as to extend from the first joint portion 21a, and is integrated (joined) with the first joint portion 21a and the first extension portion 21b. The first joint portion 21a has an opening 21c into which the first portion 24a of the base fitting 24, which is formed in a convex shape, is fitted, and is configured to be rotatable about the first portion 24a as a rotation axis, that is, about an axis parallel to the protruding direction (+Y direction) of the first portion 24a. The first joint portion 21a can be formed, for example, in a ring shape. Further, the first extension portion 21b is provided so as to extend from the first joint portion 21a in a direction away from the rotation axis of the first joint portion 21a, for example, a direction perpendicular to the rotation axis of the first joint portion 21a, and has a protrusion portion 21d that is fitted into an opening 22c of a second joint portion 22a provided in the second fitting 22 as described later. In this embodiment, the first fitting 21 is configured to include at least two members that sandwich the second joint portion 22a of the second fitting 22.

[0029] The second fitting 22 has a second joint portion 22a that is joined to the first extension portion 21b of the first fitting 21 in a rotatable manner, and a second extension portion 22b that is provided so as to extend from the second joint portion 22a, and is integrated (joined) with the second joint portion 22a and the second extension portion 22b. The second joint portion 22a has an opening 22c into which the protrusion portion 21d of the first fitting 21, which is provided in the first extension portion 21b, is fitted, and is configured to be rotatable about the protrusion portion 21d as a rotation axis, that is, about an axis parallel to the protruding direction (+Y direction) of the protrusion portion 21d. The second joint portion 22a can be formed, for example, in a ring shape. In this embodiment, the rotation axis of the second joint portion 22a of the second fitting 22 can be parallel to the rotation axis of the first joint portion 21a of the first fitting 21. Further, the second extension portion 22b is provided so as to extend from the second joint portion 22a in a direction away from the rotation axis of the second joint portion 22a, for example, a direction perpendicular to the rotation axis of the second joint portion 21a, and is joined to the second portion 24b of the base fitting 24, which is formed in a convex shape, in a manner so as to be slidable along the extension direction of the second extension portion 22b. Specifically, the second extension portion 22b has a groove 22d into which the second portion 24b of the base fitting 24, which is formed in a convex shape, is fitted in a slidable manner. The groove 22d is provided in the second extension portion 22b so as to extend in the extension direction of the second extension portion 22b.

[0030] Referring to Figure 3 , the model member 20 further includes a third fitting 23. Figure 3The case where the third fitting 23 is coupled to the second fitting 22 is shown. The third fitting 23 is fitted to the second extension portion 22b of the second fitting 22, and is configured to be able to rotate with the second extension portion 22b as a rotation axis.

[0031] Specifically, the third fitting 23 has a third coupling portion 23a coupled to the second extension portion 22b of the second fitting 22 in a rotatable manner, and a third extension portion 23b extending from the third coupling portion 23a, and is configured by the third coupling portion 23a and the third extension portion 23b being integrated (joined). The third coupling portion 23a has an opening 23c into which the second extension portion 22b of the second fitting 22 is fitted, and is configured to be able to rotate with the second extension portion 22b itself as a rotation axis. The third coupling portion 23a can be attached to a portion of the second extension portion 22b of the second fitting 22 on the side of the second coupling portion 22a from the portion provided with the groove 22d. In addition, the third extension portion 23b extends from the third coupling portion 23a in a direction away from the rotation axis of the third coupling portion 23a (for example, a direction perpendicular to the rotation axis of the third coupling portion 23a). The third extension portion 23b is coupled to the torso portion 12 of the doll toy 10.

[0032] Here, in the model member 20, a protrusion 22e is provided at a lower portion of the second extension portion 22b of the second fitting 22, and a groove 23d is provided at an inner wall of the opening 23c of the third coupling portion 23a of the third fitting 23. The groove 23d is provided to pass the protrusion 22e of the second fitting 22 when the third coupling portion 23a (the opening 23c) of the third fitting 23 is fitted to the second extension portion 22b of the second fitting 22. In the case of the present embodiment, the groove 23d is provided at a portion of the inner wall of the third opening 23c on the side of the third extension portion 23b. Therefore, the third coupling portion 23a (the opening 23c) of the third fitting 23 is coupled (fitted) to the second extension portion 22b of the second fitting 22 in a state where the third extension portion 23b of the third fitting 23 is on the lower side.

[0033] Figure 4 (a) of FIG. 10 shows a state just after the third coupling portion 23a of the third fitting 23 is coupled to the second extension portion 22b of the second fitting 22. Then, by rotating the third fitting 23 about the second extension portion 22b of the second fitting 22 from the state of (a) of FIG. 10, as shown in (b) of FIG. 10, a state is reached in which the third extension portion 23b of the third fitting 23 is on the upper side. Figure 4 Figure 4 Figure 4 ​​In the state of (b) of the first and second members 21 and 22, the third member 23 is fixed to the second member 22 in the extension direction of the second extension arrangement portion 22b by the protrusion 22e of the second member 22, and the third member 23 can be prevented from being detached from the second member 22.

[0034] In addition, in the state of (b) of the first and second members 21 and 22, a portion 21e (for example, a top end portion) of the first extension arrangement portion 21b of the first member 21 is arranged inside the opening 23c of the third member 23. Thus, in the first member 21, which is composed of two members that sandwich the second link portion 22a of the second member 22, the two members can be prevented from opening (separating) in the direction away from each other by the third member 23. Figure 4

[0035] Referring to Figure 5 , the model member 20 further includes a base member 24. Figure 5 The case where the first member 21, the second member 22, and the third member 23, which are linked to each other, are linked to the base member 24 is shown.

[0036] The base member 24 has a first portion 24a linked to the first link portion 21a of the first member 21 and a second portion 24b linked to the second extension arrangement portion 22b of the second member 22. The first portion 24a and the second portion 24b in the base member 24 are arranged apart from each other in the X direction. The first portion 24a of the base member 24 has a male shape (a protrusion) that is fitted into the opening 21c provided in the first link portion 21a of the first member 21. In addition, the second portion 24b of the base member 24 has a male shape (a protrusion) that is fitted into the groove 22d provided in the second extension arrangement portion 22b of the second member 22 in a slidable manner. In this embodiment, the base member 24 can be configured to include two members that at least partially sandwich the first link portion 21a of the first member 21 and the second extension arrangement portion 22b of the second member 22.

[0037] A protrusion portion 24c, which is a protrusion toward the outside in the ±Y direction, is provided on the outer side portion (the outer side surface) of the base member 24. The protrusion portion 24c is configured to be rotatable on the outer side portion of the base member 24. In Figure 5 In the state of (b) of the first and second members 21 and 22, a portion 21e (for example, a top end portion) of the first extension arrangement portion 21b of the first member 21 is arranged inside the opening 23c of the third member 23. Thus, in the first member 21, which is composed of two members that sandwich the second link portion 22a of the second member 22, the two members can be prevented from opening (separating) in the direction away from each other by the third member 23.

[0038] ​In the model member 20 thus configured, by pressing the third fitting member 23 in the -Z direction or pulling it out in the +Z direction with respect to the base fitting member 24, the second fitting member 22 rotates with respect to the first fitting member 21, and thus the model member 20 can be deformed between the first mode and the second mode. Hereinafter, the deformation of the model member 20 between the first mode and the second mode will be described with reference to the drawings. Figures 6-7 The model member 20 in the first mode is shown.

[0039] Figure 6 The model member 20 in the first mode is shown. Figure 6 (a) of FIG. 10 shows the overall appearance of the model member 20 in the first mode, Figure 6 (b) of FIG. 10 shows a state in which the left one of the two members constituting the base fitting member 24 is detached from the model member 20 in the first mode. The first mode is a mode in which the second link portion 22a of the second fitting member 22 is disposed between the first portion 24a of the base fitting member 24, which is fitted to the opening 21c of the first fitting member 21, and the second portion 24b of the base fitting member 24, which is fitted to the groove 22d of the second fitting member 22.

[0040] Figure 7 The model member 20 in the second mode is shown. Figure 7 (a) of FIG. 12 shows the overall appearance of the model member 20 in the second mode, Figure 7 (b) of FIG. 12 shows a state in which the left one of the two members constituting the base fitting member 24 is detached from the model member 20 in the second mode. The second mode is a mode in which the second link portion 22a of the second fitting member 22 is disposed at a position deviated from between the first portion 24a and the second portion 24b of the base fitting member 24.

[0041] When the third fitting member 23 is pressed in the -Z direction or pulled out in the +Z direction with respect to the base fitting member 24, the first link portion 21a of the first fitting member 21 rotates with respect to the first portion 24a of the base fitting member 24, and the second link portion 22a of the second fitting member 22 rotates with respect to the first extension portion 21b of the first fitting member 21, and the second extension portion 22b of the second fitting member 22 slides along the groove 22d of the second portion 24b of the base fitting member. By pressing the third fitting member 23 in the -Z direction with respect to the base fitting member 24, the model member 20 becomes the first mode, and by pulling out the third fitting member 23 in the +Z direction with respect to the base fitting member 24, the model member 20 becomes the second mode. In addition, as described above, the third fitting member 23 is configured to be rotatable about the second extension portion 22b of the second fitting member 22 as a rotation axis. Thus, the freedom of movement using the waist portion 15 provided with the model member 20 and the torso portion 12 linked to the third fitting member 23 (the third extension portion 23b) of the model member 20 is improved, and various motions closer to the motions of humans and animals can be realized.

[0042] As described above, the model component 20 of this embodiment includes the first component 21, the second component 22, the third component 23, and the base component 24, and is configured to be deformable between a first configuration and a second configuration. By applying the model component 20 thus configured to the model toy 10, various movements that are closer to those of humans and animals can be realized in the model toy 10.
