DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
[0010] Hereinafter, an embodiment of a doll and an embodiment of a doll set representing one aspect of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.
[0011] FIG. 1 is a perspective view showing an example of a first type of doll 10. As shown in FIG. The first type of doll 10 shown in Fig. 1 comprises a first main body 11 having a torso 11b, a head 11h, and legs 11c, and a first sub-body 12 (right arm 12R and left arm 12L) connected to the first main body 11, and has, for example, a demonic appearance. The first main body 11 is configured to assume a first sitting position in a chair 18. The chair 18 is placed on a placing portion 50.
[0012] In the first sub-body 12 extending from the torso 11b, the right arm 12R, which is the first extension on the right side, and the left arm 12L, which is the second extension on the left side, are naturally formed to have the same length, but they extend in different ways. For example, the right arm 12R has one end, the elbow 12a, bent so that it touches the right armrest 18R of the chair 18, and the other end, the hand 12b, is shaped to support the chin of the head 11h.
[0013] On the other hand, the left arm 12L is in a state in which the arm is stretched out so that the hand 12b is placed on the left armrest 18L. In this embodiment, the left arm 12L is configured to contact the left armrest 18L, but the left arm 12L may be configured not to support the first main body portion 11.
[0014] As shown in Figure 1, the right arm 12R rests on the elbow and supports the head 11h, creating a pose that suggests the doll is thinking about something or waiting for something, a so-called "waiting around" pose. This creates a strange effect in which the devilish character (the first type of doll 10) seems to be waiting for something.
[0015] The first type of doll 10 and the second type of doll 20 described below are manufactured as a single unit by injection molding using synthetic resin, and no body parts are detachable. In this injection molding process, the right arm 12R is connected to the head 11h, which allows for multiple resin flow routes and improves moldability. In particular, when a doll has a relatively complex external shape, such as the first type of doll 10 shown in the figure, the molding precision of the injection molding can be improved.
[0016] FIG. 2 is a perspective view showing an example of a second type of doll 20. The second type of doll 20 shown in FIG. 2 is a standing doll modeled after a heroic character. The doll 20 has a second main body 21, which includes a slender torso 21b, a head 21h that is larger than the torso 21b, and legs 21c that extend slightly downward from the torso 21b. The doll 20 has second sub-body parts 22 (left arm 22L and right arm 22R) that extend laterally from the torso 21b. With the left arm 22L and right arm 22R spread wide, the right arm 22R holds a sword 31 as a first sub-component. Thus, the second type of doll 20 is in a fighting position holding the sword 31. The hands 22b (both hands) are shaped so that the thumb and fingers can hook onto objects. In the illustration, the right hand 22b is extended and holding the sword 31, but the left and right hands 22b can also hold the sword 31 or other objects.
[0017] FIG. 3 is a perspective view showing the first part and the second part. 3, sword 31 as a first component has a pointed tip and can be attached to base 32 as a second component. For example, base 32 has a flat top surface 32a and an insertion hole 32b in the approximate center of top surface 32a, and is configured so that sword 31 can be attached to and detached from base 32 by inserting tip 31a of sword 31 into insertion hole 32b.
[0018] FIG. 4 is a perspective view showing an exhibition form of a second type of doll 20 using the first part and the second part. In FIG. 4, for example, the sword 31 is held in a substantially vertical position with its tip 31a inserted into a pedestal 32. A second type of doll 20 is then exhibited together with the sword 31 and the pedestal 32. For example, with the sword 31 held on the pedestal 32, the second type of doll 20 is holding the handle of the sword 31. This state depicts the hero putting the sword 31 away for safekeeping or taking it out. In this case, the second type of doll 20 not only stands on its legs 21c, but also its hands 22b holding the sword 31 can support its body, providing a stable display state.
[0019] FIG. 5 is a perspective view showing the third component. The third component, a treasure chest 33 shown in Figure 5, comprises a box body 33a and a lid 33b that can be opened and closed via a hinge relative to the box body 33a, with treasure 33c contained within the box body 33a. While the treasure 33c is shown housed within the box body 33a in the figure, it can be removed from the box body 33a as indicated by the dashed-dotted line. Furthermore, the inner surface 33bi of the lid 33b forms a curved inner wall surface that follows the bulge of the exterior of the lid 33b, thereby enlarging the interior space of the treasure chest 33.
[0020] FIG. 6 is a perspective view showing an exhibition form of the second type of doll 20 using the third part. The second type of doll 20 shown in Figure 6 is depicted as opening a treasure chest 33 and looking inside. In this state, the second type of doll 20 is not only standing on its legs 21c, but is also supported by its right arm 22R and hand 22b holding the lid 33b of the treasure chest 33. In this case, the second type of doll 20 is displayed in a stable state.
[0021] FIG. 7 is a perspective view showing the display form of the second type of doll 20 held by the third part. In the display form shown in Figure 7, the hero has placed the upper half of his body inside the treasure chest 33. This is intended to evoke a story in which, for example, a fake treasure chest exists in the treasure chest 33, and the fake treasure chest is inhabited by monsters that the hero will fight. For example, the second type of hero doll 20 has its upper half inserted into the fake treasure chest, and the state in which the upper half is sandwiched between the box body 33a and the lid 33b is presented.
[0022] FIG. 8 is a perspective view showing another example of the second type of doll 20. The second type of doll 20 shown in Figure 8 is a doll modeled after a knight wearing armor. In this case, the legs 21c are spread out front and back, and the doll is shaped to resemble a fighting character holding a sword 31 in its right hand 22b and a shield 34 in its left hand.
[0023] FIG. 9 is a perspective view showing the display form of the second type of doll 20 using the second part. The second type of doll 20 shown in Fig. 8 can be displayed on a pedestal 32 as shown in Fig. 9. The top surface 32a of the pedestal 32 is flat, and with the sword 31 removed, the second type of doll 20 can be placed with its feet 21d resting on the top surface 32a.
[0024] FIG. 10 is a perspective view showing an example of the display of the doll set 1. The doll set 1 shown in Figure 10 is a display in which a first type of doll 10 in a sitting position and a second type of doll 20 in a standing position are arranged in a set state on a mounting unit 50, facing each other. In the display state of this set, the first type of doll 10 is seated and not in a fighting position, while the second type of doll 20 is in a fighting position. Therefore, a scene is created in which the second type of doll 20 shown in Figure 10 is about to move towards the first type of doll 10.
[0025] In this way, in the doll set 1, two completely different characters, namely, the first type of doll 10 in a relaxed sitting position and the second type of doll 20 in a standing position ready for combat, are displayed facing each other, i.e., the first type of doll 10 in a static position and the second type of doll 20 in a moving position, thereby creating a deep space with a strong story.
[0026] 11 and 12 are perspective views showing other examples of the first type of doll 10. FIG. The first type of doll 10 shown in Figure 11 is in the second sitting position, not sitting on a chair but with its legs crossed. In this position, the left arm 12L rests on the left leg 11c with the elbow 12a bent, and the hand 12b of the left arm 12L holds the head 11h. The right arm 12R is draped loosely on the right leg 11c.
[0027] The first type of doll 10 shown in Fig. 12 is in the second sitting position, not sitting on a chair, with the legs 11c stretched out in front of the body. In this case, the left arm 12L is stretched out in front, while the right arm 12R is stretched out behind the body with the hand 12b resting on the base 50. In other words, the body is supported by the right arm 12R.
[0028] The first and second types of dolls 10, 20 and the first to third parts may be sold in any form, including, but not limited to, an automatic vending machine. In this case, toys such as dolls and parts are supplied in spherical capsules.
[0029] The item supply device includes a storage unit capable of storing a plurality of capsules in a random arrangement, a supply unit capable of randomly selecting and supplying capsules one by one from the storage unit, a locking unit for locking the supply unit, an operating unit that is unlocked by the locking unit upon payment of a fee and is capable of rotating the supply unit, and a passage unit that allows the capsules to pass rotatably from the storage unit to the supply port. In this way, the capsules have a spherical shape that makes them easy to roll, so that the capsules can be supplied to the user's hand while avoiding damage when being supplied from the item supply device.
[0030] In this sales format, capsules are randomly selected and supplied, so users may not necessarily be able to purchase the dolls or parts they want. This allows users to enjoy the fun of collecting toys.
[0031] As described above, in the first type of doll 10 of this embodiment, the first main body 11, such as the torso 11b and head 11h, is supported by the first secondary body 12, so that it can appear as if the doll is sitting. In particular, by using the first secondary body 12 to create a pose in which the elbows 12a (one end) are bent and placed on the knees or a chair 18, and the hands 12b (the other end) support the head 11h, it is possible to create the appearance of the doll waiting for something.
[0032] In this embodiment of the doll 10, the first main body 11 is configured to take a first sitting position in which the doll sits on a chair 18 or a second sitting position in which the doll is not sitting on a chair 18, thereby enabling a variety of depictions of a waiting state to be created.
[0033] In this embodiment of the doll 10, the doll set 1 includes a first type of doll 10 in a sitting position waiting for something to happen, and a second type of doll 20 in an active standing position ready to fight, making it possible to create specific situations and states using the dolls of each type of character. In particular, when these different types of doll sets 1 are displayed side by side, by arranging the dolls waiting for something to happen opposite dolls that are moving as if they are about to fight, it is possible to create a space with a specific story in the exhibition space.
[0034] The second type of doll 20 in this embodiment is configured to be able to hold a sword 31, which is a weapon, and the sword 31 can be attached and detached, making it possible to present a doll that can use a variety of weapons. Furthermore, the sword 31 is configured to be detachable from the pedestal 32 in which the sword 31 can be stored, which contributes to the presentation of the mystique of the sword 31 as a special weapon. Furthermore, the pedestal 32 can also be used as a pedestal for displaying other second type dolls 20.
[0035] The first type of doll 10 of this embodiment is not configured to be able to hold a weapon such as the sword 31, so it is possible to maintain the storyline of a constant waiting state in which the doll cannot assume a fighting form.
[0036] In the doll 10 of this embodiment, the treasure chest 33 has a structure that allows the parts that resemble the treasure 33c inside to be removed and that can be opened and closed, so that it can be configured to hold a part of the second type of doll 20. As a result, the treasure chest 33 can be made to look like both a real treasure chest and a fake treasure chest.
[0037] Although the embodiments of the present invention have been described above, the present invention can be modified as appropriate within the scope of its technical concept. For example, in the above embodiment, the doll set 1 is displayed in the display form shown in Figure 10, but this is not limited to this and appropriate combinations are possible.
