[Prior art documents] [Patent documents]
[0003] [Patent Document 1] Utility Model Registration No. 3218306 Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]
[0004] Existing face masks and headgear have problems such as being difficult to secure to the head, being prone to misalignment and rotation, being cumbersome to put on and take off, and being difficult to adjust the size.Furthermore, there are few structures that combine stability when worn with a cute appearance (design). In one aspect, the present invention aims to make it possible to easily attach and detach the main body and head. [Means for solving the problem]
[0005] To achieve the above object, the present invention provides a stuffed toy that has a main body including a trunk, a spherical or oblate spheroidal head that can be attached to the main body, magnets for attachment to the detachable parts of the main body and the head, and an image of an animal including the eyes, nose, and mouth is drawn on half the surface of the head. [Effects of the Invention]
[0006] In one embodiment, the main body and head can be easily attached and detached. [Brief explanation of the drawings]
[0007] [Figure 1] 1 is a plan view showing a stuffed animal according to an embodiment of the present invention; [Figure 2] 1 is a side view showing a stuffed animal according to an embodiment of the present invention; [Figure 3] FIG. 10 is a diagram showing a stuffed toy with a cover attached. [Figure 4] FIG. 2 is a view showing the main body and the head separated from each other. DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
[0008] The plush toy of the embodiment will be described in detail below with reference to the drawings. <Embodiment> Fig. 1 is a plan view showing a stuffed toy according to an embodiment, and Fig. 2 is a side view showing the stuffed toy according to an embodiment. The stuffed toy 10 of the embodiment has a main body 1 and a head 2 . The main body 1 has a shape resembling a deformed human torso. In this embodiment, the head portion 2 is an oblate spheroid and is detachable from the main body portion 1. In this embodiment, the head 2 is an oblate spheroid, but may be spherical.
[0009] As shown in FIG. 2, half of the surface of the head 2 has a facial expression section 21 formed by printing, dye sublimation transfer, or the like. An image including the eyes, nose, and mouth of a human or animal (a cat in this embodiment) is drawn on the facial expression section 21 shown in FIG. 1. Ears are not included in this image because ear-like covers (described later) will be attached. By not including ears in the image, the eyes, nose, and mouth can be drawn large on the facial expression section 21. FIG. 3 shows a plush toy with a cover attached. As described above, the cover 3 has a shape resembling an ear and encases the head 2 . The overall atmosphere of the stuffed toy 10 can be easily changed by simply replacing the cover 3. As described above, the head portion 2 is separable from the main body portion 1.
[0010] FIG. 4 is a view in which the main body and the head are separated. Magnets 1b and 2b are attached to the connection parts 1a and 2a between the main body 1 and the head 2. The magnets are convex on one side and concave on the other. By inserting the convex magnet into the concave magnet, the attached head 2 is stabilized.
[0011] As described above, stuffed toy 10 has main body 1 including a torso, and head 2 which is spherical or oblate spheroidal and can be attached to main body 1. Magnets are attached to each of connection parts 1a, 2a between main body 1 and head 2, and an image including the eyes, nose, and mouth of an animal is drawn on half the surface of head 2.
[0012] Therefore, the head can be easily attached and detached from the main body. Furthermore, one of the magnets in the main body 1 and the head 2 has a convex shape, and the other has a concave shape. This allows the head 2 to be attached stably in the correct position. Furthermore, the appearance (expression, facial position) is not distorted. In addition, it is possible to achieve both stability when worn and a cute appearance (design). It also improves the customizability of dolls and stuffed toys.
[0013] While the plush toy of the present invention has been described above based on the illustrated embodiment, the present invention is not limited to this, and the configuration of each part can be replaced with any configuration that has a similar function. In addition, any other components or processes may be added to the present invention. [Explanation of symbols]
