[0003] [Patent Document 1] JP 2010-17264 A Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0004] Some doll bodies are required to be constructed so that they can transform in a more natural way.

[0005] An exemplary object of the present invention is to provide a technique that is advantageous for constructing a doll body that can achieve more natural transformation. [Means for solving the problem]

[0006] One aspect of the present invention relates to a structure comprising a torso, neck and shoulders of a doll body, the torso including a rotating member that holds the neck and shoulders and is rotatable left and right relative to the torso main body. One aspect of the present invention further relates to a structure including a body, a neck, and a shoulder of a doll body, the body including a rotating member for holding the neck and the shoulder rotatably relative to the body, and the neck is rotated relative to the body. As a result, the neck portion interferes with the rotating member. When the rotating member rotates relative to the body, the shoulder rotates relative to the body. The shoulder portion is rotatable with respect to the rotating member at least in a first rotation direction from the upper side to the lower side of the torso portion with the side of the torso portion holding the neck portion being the front of the doll body, and is rotatable in a second rotation direction different from the first rotation direction from the shoulder portion side of the doll body to the torso portion side. . Effect of the Invention

[0007] According to the present invention, it is possible to construct a doll body that is capable of transforming in a more natural way. [Brief description of the drawings]

[Figure 3C] 11A and 11B are schematic diagrams for explaining an example of the operation of a rotating part. DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS

[0009] Hereinafter, the embodiments will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying 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 essential to the invention. Two or more features among the multiple features described in the embodiments may be arbitrarily combined. In addition, the same reference numbers are used for the same or similar configurations, and duplicated descriptions are omitted.

[0010] 1 shows a perspective view of a part of a doll body 1 according to an embodiment. The doll body 1 comprises a torso part 2, a neck part 3, and a pair of left and right shoulder parts 4. Details will be described later, but the neck part 3 and shoulder parts 4 are connected to the torso part 2 so as to be able to rotate (or swing). In this embodiment, the doll body 1 is a model toy that imitates a quadrupedal animal (e.g. a dog), but it may also be one that imitates a bipedal animal (e.g. a human), for example.

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

[0012] In this specification, each component of the doll body 1 is expressed as a "part", but the concept of a part refers to not only the smallest unit that a user can disassemble, but also to a combination of two or more of them. Therefore, the expression "part" in the following description may be replaced with "component, piece", "member", "structure", "assembly", etc., or may be omitted. For example, the torso part 2 may be expressed as a torso part, torso member, torso structure, torso assembly, etc., or simply as a torso. The same applies to the neck part 3 and shoulder part 4 described above, and the other parts described below.

[0013] 2 is an exploded perspective view of the torso part 2, neck part 3, and shoulder part 4. For ease of viewing, only the left shoulder part 4 of the pair of left and right shoulder parts 4 is shown, but the right shoulder part 4 has the same structure as the left shoulder part 4.

[0014] The torso part 2 includes parts 201 to 214, which can be configured by connecting these parts 201 to 214 directly / indirectly to each other and by connecting adjacent two of these parts to each other fixedly or rotatably. The neck part 3 includes parts 301 and 302, and the shoulder part 4 includes parts 401 and 402. For ease of understanding, the connections between these parts are shown by dashed lines in the drawings.

[0015] The concept of connection between parts may include various connection modes, such as attaching, connecting, and fixing one part to another part. For ease of understanding, expressions conforming to the embodiments are used in this specification, but the present invention is not strictly limited to those expressions (the expressions may be replaced with similar expressions). The same applies to other expressions.

[0016] The part 201, details of which will be described later, is provided rotatably with respect to the main body of the body part 2 (it may be referred to as a rotating part). In addition, details of which will be described later, the rotating part part 201 includes an upper shaft part 201A, a lower shaft part 201B, a pair of left and right side shaft parts 201C, and a pair of left and right extension parts 201D.

[0017] The part 202 forms a region extending from the chest to the abdomen (may be referred to as a chest and abdomen part). Note that an exterior part (not shown) that forms an exterior part for the chest and abdomen may be attached to the chest and abdomen part 202 from below.

[0018] The part 203 forms the lower part of the internal structure of the torso (may be referred to as an internal structure lower part part). The chest and abdominal part 202 is attached to the internal structure lower part part 203 from below.

[0019] The part 204 forms an upper part of the internal structure of the fuselage (may be referred to as an internal structure upper part). The internal structure upper part 204 is attached to the internal structure lower part part 203 from above.

[0020] Part 205 forms the back and is attached from above to the internal structure upper part 204 (may also be called the back part). Part 206 forms the back exterior and is attached from above to the back part 205 (may also be called the exterior part).

[0021] In this embodiment, parts 202 to 206 (and, incidentally, parts 207 to 209 described below) form the main body of the torso part 2. Here, the rotating part 201 is rotatably held from below relative to the back part 205 by the upper shaft part 201A, and is rotatably held from above relative to the chest and abdominal part 202 by the lower shaft part 201B. In other words, the chest and abdominal part 202 and the back part 205 sandwich the rotating part 201 so that it can be rotatable in the left and right direction. With this structure, the rotating part 201 is rotatably held relative to the main body of the torso part 2 formed by the parts 202 to 206.

[0022] Part 207 forms the left waist part (may be referred to as the left waist part). Part 208 forms the right waist part (may be referred to as the right waist part). Parts 207 and 208 form the waist by being connected to each other (these may be collectively referred to as the waist part). Part 209 connects the waist part formed by parts 207 and 208 to the main body of torso part 2 formed by parts 202 to 206 so that the waist part can rotate left and right (may be referred to as the connecting part part).

[0023] The parts 210-211 rotatably connect the neck part 3 (they may all be referred to as connecting part parts). The connecting part 210 is connected to the rotating part part 201 so as to be rotatable in the up-down direction. The connecting part part 211 is connected to the connecting part 210 so as to be rotatable in the left-right direction.

[0024] Here, part 301 forms the left side of the neck (may be referred to as the left side of the neck part). Part 302 forms the right side of the neck (may be referred to as the right side of the neck part). Parts 301 and 302 are connected to each other directly and via connecting part 211, thereby forming the neck (these may be collectively referred to as the neck parts). Thus, the neck part formed by parts 301 and 302 is held by parts 210-211 so as to be rotatable in both the left-right direction and the up-down direction with respect to torso part 2.

[0025] The parts 212 to 214 rotatably connect the shoulder part 4 (all of them may be referred to as connecting part parts). The connecting part 212 is attached to the side shaft part 201C of the rotating part part 201, and is thereby connected to the rotating part part 201 so as to be rotatable in the horizontal direction. The connecting part part 213 is connected to the connecting part part 212 so as to be rotatable in the vertical direction. Furthermore, the connecting part part 214 is connected to the connecting part part 213 so as to be rotatable in the vertical direction.

[0026] Here, part 401 forms the front part of the shoulder (may be referred to as the front shoulder part). Part 402 forms the rear part of the shoulder (may be referred to as the rear shoulder part). Parts 401 and 402 are connected to each other via connecting part 214, thereby forming the shoulder (these may be collectively referred to as the shoulder parts). Therefore, the shoulder part formed by parts 401 and 402 is held by parts 212 to 214 so as to be rotatable in both the left-right direction and the up-down direction with respect to torso part 2.

[0027] A head part (not shown) can be rotatably connected to the front part of the neck part 3. Furthermore, a front leg part (or an arm part) (not shown) can be rotatably connected to the shoulder part 4 on the outer side of the shoulder part 4. Furthermore, a rear leg part (or a leg part) can be rotatably connected to both sides of the rear part of the waist part formed by parts 207 and 208.

[0028] In addition, in this embodiment, the individual parts that make up the doll body 1 are made of resin such as polystyrene, but some or all of them may be made of other materials that have the desired strength, such as wood, metal, etc.

[0029] Now, looking again at the rotating part 201, the pair of left and right extension parts 201D are provided so as to extend forward from both sides of the neck part 3. With this structure, when the neck part 3 is rotated left and right relative to the rotating part part 201, the neck part 3 interferes with the extension parts 201D, and accordingly the rotating part part 201 rotates relative to the body part 2 main body.

[0030] 3A to 3C are schematic diagrams for explaining examples of the movement of the rotating part 201. Fig. 3A shows the neck part 3 in a front posture. Fig. 3B shows the neck part 3 in a leftward posture. Fig. 3C shows the neck part 3 in a rightward posture.

[0031] When the neck part 3 is changed from a front posture (see FIG. 3A) to a leftward posture (see FIG. 3B), the neck part 3 moves leftward as shown by the dashed-dotted arrow, interfering with the left extension part 201D. Accordingly, the rotating part part 201 rotates leftward relative to the main body of the torso part 2. As a result, the left shoulder part 4 moves backward and the right shoulder part 4 moves forward as shown by the dashed-dotted arrow.

[0032] Next, when the neck part 3 is changed from a leftward facing position (see FIG. 3B) to a rightward facing position (see FIG. 3C), the neck part 3 moves leftward as shown by the dashed-dotted arrow, thereby interfering with the right-side extension part 201D. Accordingly, the rotating part part 201 rotates rightward relative to the main body of the torso part 2. As a result, the left shoulder part 4 moves forward and the right shoulder part 4 moves backward as shown by the dashed-dotted arrow.

[0033] That is, according to the above structure, when the neck part 3 (or a head part, not shown, connected to the neck part 3) is rotated left and right relative to the torso part 2, the pair of left and right shoulder parts 4 move alternately in the front and rear directions due to the rotating part part 201. Therefore, according to this embodiment, it is possible to appropriately realize natural deformations in the doll body 1, and in this embodiment, it is possible to appropriately express an animal-like walking movement. Note that the above rotation may alternatively be expressed as swinging, movement, etc.

[0034] 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. [Explanation of symbols]
