Summary of the Invention

Problems to be Solved by the Invention

[0004] In Patent Document 1, it is a configuration specialized in flexibility to obtain a pleasant tactile sensation when touched. However, in the present invention, it is a doll that mimics only the upper body of a human body, and is a configuration that pursues its external interestingness.

[0005] An object of the present invention is to provide a doll with improved interestingness.

Means for Solving the Problems

[0006] A doll according to an aspect of the present invention is a doll including a main body part including a head and a torso, and a support part capable of supporting the main body part. The torso includes a chest and a back part. The chest includes a first groove part, and the back part includes a second groove part. The first groove part is formed deeper in groove depth than the second groove part. <​​​​According to the present invention, it is possible to provide a doll with improved appeal. [Brief explanation of the drawing]

[0008] [Figure 1] This is a perspective view of a doll according to one embodiment of the present invention, as seen from the front. [Figure 2] This is a front view of the doll, seen from the front. [Figure 3] This is a cross-sectional view of the portion along line AA in Figure 2. [Figure 4] This is a side view of the doll, seen from the right side. [Figure 5] This is a rear view of the doll, seen from the back. [Figure 6] This is a perspective view of the doll, seen from a diagonal rearward angle. [Figure 7] This is a disassembled perspective view of the doll. [Modes for carrying out the invention]

[0009] The following describes an embodiment of the doll representing one aspect of the present invention, with reference to the figures. For convenience, in the following explanation, we will use Figures 1 and 4 as a reference and refer to the front of the doll as "front" (forward, front, or front side), the back as "back" (rear, or rear side), the left side as "left" (when viewed from the front), the upper side as "up" (upward direction), and the lower side as "down" (downward direction).

[0010] Figure 1 is a perspective view of a doll 1 according to one embodiment of the present invention. Figure 2 is a front view of the doll 1 as seen from the front.

[0011] The doll 1 shown in Figures 1 and 2 has a main body 10 consisting of a head 20 and a torso 30, with the torso 30 being directly connected and supported by, for example, a rectangular support 40. In other words, the doll 1 consists of the upper body from the waist up, excluding the buttocks and legs. In this doll 1, a characteristic feature of the torso 30 is that the chest 31 protrudes significantly forward, and the back 35 is configured to be in an upright position.

[0012] The chest area 31 is configured to be significantly enlarged, with a first bulge 31a and a second bulge 31b that mimic breasts. The doll 1 is also provided with an accessory body part 50 that mimics clothing. On the front side of the doll 1, the upper parts of the first bulge 31a and the second bulge 31b are exposed from the accessory body part 50 (clothing), allowing a portion of the breast enlargement to be seen. The lower parts of the first bulge 31a and the second bulge 31b are covered by the clothing of the accessory body part 50, but the lines of the enlargement are still visible. In the portion exposed from the accessory body part 50, a first groove 33g, which is the cleavage of the breast, is formed between the first bulge 31a and the second bulge 31b. The surfaces 31s of the first bulge 31a and the second bulge 31b are formed as curved surfaces. The first bulge 31a and the second bulge 31b are sized identically on both sides and are well-balanced.

[0013] Arms 38 are provided on both the left and right sides of the main body 10. These arms 38 are formed only up to a point slightly extending from the shoulder portion, but their ends (lower ends) are separated from the torso 30. In other words, the left and right arms 38 are separated from the left first bulge 31a and the right second bulge 31b, so the rounded bulge shape of the first bulge 31a and the second bulge 31b is emphasized, resulting in a realistic appearance.

[0014] The doll 1 is not particularly limited in terms of its forming material, but can be constructed using various synthetic resins such as ABS resin, acrylic resin, and polycarbonate. The hair portion 22 of the head 20 is made of a material that is more elastic than the other components, such as silicone rubber or natural rubber, but the first bulge portion 31a and the second bulge portion 31b are constructed to be inelastic.

[0015] Figure 3 is a cross-sectional view of the portion along line AA in Figure 2. As shown in FIG. 3, the first bulging portion 31a and the second bulging portion 31b of the chest 31 are configured in a beautiful curved shape that is symmetrical about the left and right. The groove portion 33g formed between the first bulging portion 31a and the second bulging portion 31b is configured as a groove with curved surfaces (curves) on both the left and right sides along the vertical direction of the body portion 30.

[0016] In the visible part of the first groove portion 33g of the middle back portion 35, it has a shape different from that of the first groove portion 33g. For example, as shown in FIG. 3, the back surface 35s has left - right symmetrical concavities and convexities centered on the second groove portion 35g. In the periphery of this second groove portion 35g, for example, a concavo - convex portion 36 is formed including the scapula portion. Compared with the first groove portion 33g, the depth of this second groove portion 35g is configured to be shallow, and it has a concavo - convex portion 36 in its periphery. Its overall shape is configured to be recessed inward of the main body portion 10.

[0017] FIG. 4 is a side view of the doll 1 according to one aspect of the present invention. When the body portion 30 is placed on a horizontal placement surface 60, as shown in FIG. 4, with respect to the support portion 40, the back surface 35s on its back side is configured to incline backward with an overall inclination angle (θ) with respect to the upright direction. This middle back portion 35 can be divided into, for example, a first portion 35a closer to the head portion 20 and a second portion 35b closer to the support portion 40. When viewed from the side, the second portion 35b is configured to be closer to the chest 31 than the first portion 35a. By being configured in this way, the chest 31 is made to protrude significantly forward. As a result, the chest 31 is emphasized. Also, as a result of bulging the chest 31 obliquely downward forward, a large bulge is located on the lower side, making it the most prominent part.

[0018] FIG. 5 is a rear view of the doll 1 seen from the rear side. FIG. 6 is a perspective view of the doll 1 seen from the obliquely rear side. As shown in FIGS. 5 and 6, the middle back portion 35 has a back opening portion 50b where the design of the clothing of the auxiliary body portion 50 is largely open. Therefore, the back is exposed through this back opening portion 50b. For this reason, a linear second groove portion 35g can be seen along the backbone at the center of the back in the vertical direction. This second groove portion 35g is configured to be longer than the length of the aforementioned first groove portion 33g. Also, the back opening portion 50b is not open throughout the entire back, but is opened, for example, so that the backbone region can be seen near the scapula.

[0019] FIG. 7 is an exploded perspective view of the doll 1. The support portion 40 in this embodiment is, for example, integrally formed with the torso portion 30. The torso portion 30 is provided with a neck portion 37 on its upper end side, and the head portion 20 is configured to be attached to this neck portion 37. As shown in FIG. 7, a mounting shaft portion 39, for example, cylindrical, extends upward from the neck portion 37. On the other hand, a mounting hole 21h is formed on the lower end side of the face portion 21 of the head portion 20, and the head portion 20 and the torso portion 30 are connected by fitting the mounting shaft portion 39 into the mounting hole 21h.

[0020] As described above, in the first doll 1 of this embodiment, the depth of the first groove portion 33g formed by the pair of bulging portions (first bulging portion 31a and second bulging portion) on the left and right of the chest 31 in the torso portion 30 of the doll 1 is configured to be deeper than the second groove portion 35g along the backbone line of the middle back portion 35, so that a plump chest 31 shape can be produced.

[0021] In the doll 1 of this embodiment, the first groove portion 33g of the chest 31 is configured as a curved surface and a part of it is exposed and visible from the clothing (auxiliary body portion 50), and the clothing (auxiliary body portion 50) also has a curved surface that can be imagined as an inner curved surface, so that a charming and plump chest 31 can be produced. Also, in accordance with this, by configuring the clothing (auxiliary body portion 50) such that the second groove portion 35g along the backbone of the middle back portion 35 and the concavo-convex portions 36 caused by the scapulas on both the left and right sides thereof can be seen, the charm of the back view of the doll 1 can be created.

[0022] In the doll 1 of this embodiment, the first bulge 31a and the second bulge 31b, which form a deep valley that is the first groove 33g, are configured to have the same size bulge shape on both sides, thereby creating a well-balanced and beautiful bust.

[0023] In the doll 1 of this embodiment, the left and right arms 38 are configured so as not to come into contact with the first bulge 31a and the second bulge 31b, so that the actual shape of the human body can be represented without hindering the expression of the bulge of the chest 31.

[0024] In this embodiment, the doll 1 is configured so that the hair portion 22 provided on the head 20 is elastic, making it feel soft to the touch.

[0025] In the doll 1 of this embodiment, the first groove 33g and the second groove 35g are configured so that they are not fully visible due to the sub-body portion 50, thereby stimulating imagination about the parts that are not visible.

[0026] In the doll 1 of this embodiment, the back portion 35 is configured such that its surface is inclined (θ) toward the back with respect to the upright direction, for example, in the direction toward the rear. This allows for the creation of an alluring effect through the back, such as by suggesting a part of the doll that is not actually hidden below the support portion 40 and giving the impression of a specific posture. Furthermore, the inclined structure of the back portion 35 allows for the creation of a posture in the doll 1 that emphasizes the fullness of the chest 31.

[0027] In the doll 1 of this embodiment, the lower second portion 35b of the torso 30 is configured to be closer to the chest 31 than the upper first portion 35a, so that the large, protruding chest 31 is located towards the lower part of the torso 30, thereby creating a stable doll 1.

[0028] In the doll 1 of this embodiment, the chest 31 is configured as the part that protrudes the most forward (the part of interest) in the shape of the doll 1, so that the voluptuous chest 31 can be emphasized as the part that attracts the most attention.

[0029] In this embodiment, the figure 1 does not include legs, which allows for stable placement and enables the head 20 and torso 30 to be made larger.

[0030] In the doll 1 of this embodiment, the torso 30 and the head 20 are configured to be detachable, making it easy to freely change their combinations by using multiple types of torsos 30 and multiple types of heads 20.

[0031] Although 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 embodiments, the open shape of the auxiliary body part 50 (clothing) is not limited to the illustrated configuration and can be modified as appropriate.
