[0008] Hereinafter, the embodiments will be described in detail with reference to the attached drawings. Note that the following embodiments do not limit the invention according to the claims, and not all combinations of features described in the embodiments are necessarily essential to the invention. Two or more features among the multiple features described in the embodiments may be arbitrarily combined. Also, the same reference numbers are used for identical or similar configurations, and duplicated descriptions are omitted. Also, in each figure, the up, down, left, right, front and back directions relative to the paper surface are used in the description in the text as the up, down, left, right, front and back directions of the parts (or components) in this embodiment.

[0009] First, an example of the appearance of a doll toy corresponding to this embodiment is shown in FIG. 1. FIG. 1 is a schematic diagram showing a doll toy 100 according to the embodiment. The doll toy 100 includes a head 110, a chest 111, an abdomen 112, a waist 113, and arms 114. Each of the parts 110 to 114 is supported so as to be rotatable (or swingable) relative to the adjacent parts. For example, the head 110 is supported so as to be rotatable relative to the chest 111, the abdomen 112 is supported so as to be rotatable relative to the chest 111, the abdomen 112 is supported so as to be rotatable relative to the waist 113, and the arms 114 are supported so as to be rotatable relative to the chest 111. Although details will be described later, a rotating part arranged on the surface of the chest is configured to be rotatable in response to the rotation of the abdomen 112 relative to the chest 111.

[0010] In this way, each part of the doll toy 100 is provided with a joint structure, and a user (e.g., the owner of the doll toy 100) can put the doll toy 100 into a desired position (pose), such as bending to the left or right.

[0011] In this specification, when explaining the positional relationship of each part, terms such as front, rear, left, right, up, and down may be used, but these terms are relative to the doll toy 1. For example, the front corresponds to the front side of the doll toy 100, and the rear corresponds to the back side of the doll toy 100.

[0012] Next, referring to FIG. 2, an example of the external structure of the chest 111 and the abdomen 112 is shown. In this embodiment, the chest 111 is provided with vernier units 201, which are rotating parts, at two locations on the front left and right and two locations on the rear left and right. Vernier is used as a general name for a jet device, and in particular refers to an auxiliary device for controlling the attitude of a spacecraft. Since the vernier units 201 are rotating parts, by rotating the abdomen 112 back and forth of the doll toy 100 (rotating the chest 111 backward or forward with respect to the abdomen 112), the vernier unit 201 on the front side can be rotated forward, and the vernier unit 201 on the back side can be rotated backward. In this way, it is possible to rotate the vernier units 201 by rotating the abdomen 112 without manually rotating them.

[0013] In this embodiment, the case where two vernier units 201 are arranged on the front and back of the chest 111 will be described, but the number of vernier units 201 arranged is not limited to this, and may include a case where only one is arranged, or a case where five or more are arranged. In addition, the arrangement position does not have to be the front or back of the chest, but may be a side. Furthermore, the direction in which the abdomen is rotated relative to the chest is not limited. In any case, the vernier unit 201 is configured to rotate by rotating the abdomen relative to the chest using the structure described below.

[0014] Next, an example of the operation when the abdomen 112 is rotated relative to the chest 111 will be described with reference to Fig. 3. Fig. 3 is a left side view showing in simplified form the external structure of the chest 111 and the abdomen 112 shown in Fig. 2, and Fig. 3(A) shows the state before the abdomen 112 is rotated. As shown in Fig. 3(A), each vernier unit 201 is configured to have an outer cover 301, an inner outer cover 302, an inner inner cover 303, and a vernier 304.

[0015] 3(B) shows a state in which the abdomen 112 is rotated in the direction of the arrow 311 (forward direction of the doll toy 100). When the abdomen 112 rotates in the direction of the arrow 311, the chest 111 rotates backward relative to the abdomen 112. At this time, the vernier unit 201 rotates in the direction of the arrow 312 and protrudes forward (i.e., toward the outside of the chest 111), and the inner inner cover 303, which is a component of the vernier unit 201, opens backward, and the vernier 304 protrudes in the direction of the arrow 313. As a result, at least a part (tip part) of the vernier 304, which was hidden by the inner outer cover 302 and the inner inner cover 303, is exposed to the outside of the covers.

[0016] Fig. 3(C) shows a state in which the abdomen 112 is further rotated in the direction of the arrow 321 (backward direction of the doll toy 100) from the state of Fig. 3(B). When the abdomen 112 is further rotated in the direction of the arrow 321, the chest 111 rotates forward relative to the abdomen 112. At this time, the vernier unit 201 rotates in the direction of the arrow 322 and protrudes backward (i.e., toward the outside of the chest 111), and the inner inner cover 303, which is a component of the vernier unit 201, opens, and the vernier 304 protrudes in the direction of the arrow 323. As a result, at least a part (tip part) of the vernier 304, which was hidden by the inner outer cover 302 and the inner inner cover 303, is exposed outside beyond the ends of the covers.

[0017] In this way, by rotating the abdomen 112 back and forth relative to the chest 111 (in other words, by rotating the chest 111 backward or forward relative to the abdomen 112), the four vernier units 201 arranged on the front and back of the doll toy 100 are rotated upward, the inner inner cover 303 is rotated so as to open, and the tip of the vernier 304 is protruded so as to be exposed from the covers 303 and 304. These three actions are performed almost simultaneously. This eliminates the need to rotate each vernier unit manually.

[0018] Next, the internal structure of the chest 111 and the abdomen 112 will be described with reference to Fig. 4. Fig. 4(A) is an exploded left side view of the chest 111 and the abdomen 112. Fig. 4(A) shows the internal structure of the chest 111 and the abdomen 112 of the right half of the doll toy 100. The internal structure is mainly composed of members 401 to 404 and a vernier unit 201. Fig. 4(B) shows member 401, Fig. 4(C) shows member 402, Fig. 4(D) shows member 403, Fig. 4(E) shows member 404, and Fig. 4(F) shows the vernier unit 201.

[0019] The member 401 has a protrusion 411, a protrusion 412, and a protrusion 413, and the front and back of FIG. 4(B) have a symmetrical structure. That is, the member 401 is configured to have a protrusion 411, a protrusion 412, and a protrusion 413 on each of the front and back sides. When the member 401 rotates around the protrusion 412 as an axis, the protrusion 411 presses the member 451 of the vernier unit 201 to rotate the vernier unit 201 upward. The protrusion 412 is coupled to the hole 431 of the member 403 through the hole 421 of the member 402, so that the member 401 can rotate in the front-rear direction of the doll toy 100 around the protrusion 412 as an axis. At that time, the protrusion 413 of the member 401 is coupled to the hole 432 of the member 403, so that the members 401 and 403 can rotate together. This allows the abdomen 112 to rotate relative to the chest 111 (conversely, the chest 111 can be rotated relative to the abdomen 112).

[0020] The member 402 has a hole 421 through which the protrusion 412 passes, and also has an elongated hole 422 through which the protrusion 451 of the vernier unit 201 passes. The elongated hole 422 regulates the direction and range of movement of the protrusion 451. The members 402 are arranged on the left and right halves of the doll toy 100, one each, so as to sandwich the member 401 from the left and right. Also, the back side of the member 402 in FIG. 4(C) has a hole that is coupled with the protrusion 452 of the vernier unit 201.

[0021] The member 403 has a hole 431 that is coupled to the protrusion 412 and a hole 432 that is coupled to the protrusion 413, and rotates together with the member 401 in the front-to-rear direction of the doll toy 100 relative to the chest 111. In other words, the chest 111 rotates forward or backward relative to the members 401 and 403.

[0022] Although member 404 is not directly shown in Fig. 4(A), it is located on the back side of member 402 in Fig. 4(C) and has holes 441 that couple with protrusions 452 of vernier unit 201. Vernier unit 201 has protrusions 452 on the front and back of the configuration shown in Fig. 4(F), and is sandwiched between the hole on the back side of member 402 and hole 441 of member 404 and supported rotatably.

[0023] Each vernier unit 201 shown in Fig. 4(F) has a protrusion 451 and a protrusion 452. When the protrusion 451 is pressed by the protrusion 411 of the member 401, it rotates about the protrusion 452 as an axis, and the vernier unit 201 protrudes obliquely upward from the doll toy 100. When the number of the vernier units 201 is increased, the members 401, 402, and 403 can be further added.

[0024] Next, referring to FIG. 5, the rotational movement of the member 401 will be described. FIGS. 5(A) to (C) are schematic diagrams showing the relationship between the member 401 and the vernier unit 201 shown in FIG. 4. FIG. 5(A) shows the state before the member 401 rotates in the front-rear direction of the doll toy 100. At this time, the vernier unit 201 is in a closed state with the main body facing downward. FIG. 5(B) shows the state when the member 401 rotates in the front direction of the doll toy 100 (i.e., when the chest 111 rotates backward with respect to the member 401). The member 401 rotates forward with the protrusion 412 as an axis, and the protrusion 411 engages with the protrusion 451 of the vernier unit 201, pushing the protrusion 451 forward of the doll toy 100. At this time, the movement of the protrusion 451 is restricted by the long hole 422, and the protrusion 451 moves from one end of the long hole 422 to the other end.

[0025] 5(C) shows the state when the member 401 rotates backward of the doll toy 100 (i.e., when the chest 111 rotates forward relative to the member 401). The member 401 rotates backward about the protrusion 412 as an axis, and the protrusion 411 engages with the protrusion 451 of the vernier unit 201, pushing the protrusion 451 backward of the doll toy 100. At this time, the movement of the protrusion 451 is also restricted by the long hole 422, and the protrusion 451 moves from one end of the long hole 422 to the other end.

[0026] Next, the operation of the vernier unit 201 itself will be described with reference to FIG. 6. FIG. 6(A) is a diagram showing an example of the internal structure of the vernier unit, and is a diagram showing the vernier unit 201 located on the right side of FIG. 4(A) (the rear right side of the doll toy 100) as viewed from the same direction as FIG. 4(A). The vernier unit 201 is composed of members 601 to 603 joined together. FIG. 6(B) is a cross-sectional view of FIG. 6(A), showing the joined state of members 601 and 602, and the joined state of members 601 and 603. FIG. 6(C) is a diagram showing member 601 from an oblique rear view with FIG. 6(A) as the front view, FIG. 6(D) is a diagram showing member 602 from an oblique front view with FIG. 6(A) as the front view, and FIG. 6(E) is a diagram showing member 603 from an oblique front view with FIG. 6(A) as the front view. The following description will be given with reference to these figures.

[0027] Member 601 has protrusion 451, and rotates around the axis of protrusion 611 in response to pressure from member 401. Protrusion 611 constitutes member 602, and protrusion 611 is coupled to member 601 so as to penetrate through hole 612. When member 601 rotates, protrusion 451 moves in the direction of arrow A. At this time, together with the movement of protrusion 451, member 602 rotates in the direction of arrow B around protrusion 452 as an axis, and vernier unit 201 rotates obliquely upward.

[0028] Furthermore, a protrusion 613 arranged on the back surface of member 601 is coupled to a hole 616 of member 603, and as member 601 rotates about protrusion 611 in the direction of arrow C in response to protrusion 451 moving in the direction of arrow A, member 603 moves downward as indicated by arrow D. This causes vernier 304 to protrude downward. Member 602 is provided with a storage hole 614, and protrusion 615 on the upper side of member 603 is housed in storage hole 614. Here, when member 603 moves downward as indicated by arrow D as described above, member 603 also changes from a state housed in storage hole 614 to a state protruding from storage hole 614.

[0029] The member 601 is provided with an engagement portion 621, and the member 602 is provided with engagement portions 622 and 623. These are protrusions for engaging the inner inner cover 303 and the inner outer cover 302 shown in Fig. 3. As a result, the inner inner cover 303 is opened toward the inside of the main body of the doll toy 100 by rotating the member 601 in the direction of the arrow C, and the inner outer cover 302 rotates toward the outside of the main body together with the member 602.

[0030] Thus, according to this embodiment, the structure of the chest and abdomen of the doll model allows the multiple rotating mechanisms provided on the chest to be rotated simultaneously by rotating the abdomen back and forth (in other words, by rotating the chest forward or backward relative to the abdomen), so that the doll model can be easily transformed without having to manually rotate the rotating mechanisms.

[0031] The invention is not limited to the above-described embodiment, and various modifications and variations are possible within the scope of the gist of the invention.
