[0009] (First embodiment) A doll holder 10A according to a first embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to Figures 1 and 2. Doll holder 10A is a doll fixing member that can hold a doll (not shown) by clamping the doll with bifurcated curved holding portions 15 provided at the tip side and fixing it to mounting surface 20 with engagement portions 12.

[0010] More specifically, the doll holder 10A has a support part 11 formed in the shape of a generally cylindrical rod. The base end 11a of the support part 11 gradually expands in diameter, and is formed with the same diameter at the edge 11a1. An engaging part 12 protruding in the shape of a generally cylindrical boss is provided on the end face 11b of the base end 11a. As shown in FIG. 2, the engaging part 12 is press-fitted into a hole-shaped engaged part 21 provided in the mounting surface 20 to such an extent that it can be detached, thereby achieving a concave-convex fit. The area of ​​the end face 11b is larger than that of the main body of the support part 11, so that the surface pressure of the end face 11b against the mounting surface 20 can be reduced. This reduces damage to the mounting surface 20, such as dents, caused by the end face 11b.

[0011] Two bulging portions 13 are provided on the tip side of the support portion 11, bulging out in opposite directions with the support portion 11 in between. Two straight portions 14 are provided on the tip side of each bulging portion 13, continuing from the bulging portion 13 and extending linearly from the bulging portion 13 toward the tip at a predetermined interval S in the shape of a substantially slit. As shown in the enclosed diagram of the Q1-Q1 cross section in Fig. 2, each straight portion 14 has an outer surface formed in a convex curve, and the opposing surface is formed as a flat surface 14a.

[0012] At the tip end of each straight section 14, two curved holding sections 15 are provided, which extend outward from each straight section 14 towards the tip in a convex curve and face each other. The curved holding sections 15 have opposing sections 15a formed in a generally concave curve, into which the doll is sandwiched and held. At the tip end of each curved holding section 15, two tip bulging sections 16 are provided, which bulge in directions facing each other. The tip bulging sections 16 have opposing flat tip sections 16a in the shape of flat surfaces at opposing positions.

[0013] The flat surface 14a of each straight portion 14 is provided continuous with the opposing portion 15a of the corresponding curved holding portion 15, and the opposing portion 15a is provided continuous with the tip flat portion 16a of the corresponding tip bulge portion 16. The tip flat portion 16a is provided continuous with an outer surface portion 17 that includes the tip surface and outer surface of the corresponding tip bulge portion 16 and the outer surface of the curved holding portion 15.

[0014] Here, the axial length D1 of the straight portion 14 is shorter than the axial length D2 of the curved holding portion 15 and the tip bulge portion 16. The axial direction is the axial direction related to the axis CL of the doll holder 10A. Also, the cross-sectional area of ​​each straight portion 14 (see the boxed Q1-Q1 cross-sectional view in FIG. 2) is smaller than the cross-sectional area of ​​the cross-section of the curved holding portion 15 (for example, the cross-section of portion P) excluding the cross-section of the curved holding portion 15 at the predetermined interval S and the portion corresponding to the outlet portion of the predetermined interval S (the base end of the curved holding portion 15, which is the range indicated by dimension D3). The base end of the curved holding portion 15, which is the range indicated by dimension D3, has a larger cross-sectional area and higher rigidity than the straight portion 14 and the portion other than the base end of the curved holding portion 15.

[0015] Therefore, when a force is applied to the bending holding portions 15 in a direction that causes the bending holding portions 15 to open, the length D2 of the bending holding portions 15 is longer than the length D1 of the straight portions 14, the cross-sectional area of ​​the straight portions 14 is smaller than portion P of the bending holding portions 15, and the base ends of the bending holding portions 15 are highly rigid, so that the elastic force of the straight portions 14 acts to open the bending holding portions 15 while the deformation of the bending holding portions 15 remains minimal. Then, when the amount of opening of the straight portions 14 (i.e., the elastic force of the straight portions 14) exceeds a certain distance (force), the elastic force of the portions other than the base ends of the bending holding portions 15 acts, and the bending holding portions 15 open.

[0016] That is, the elastic force of the straight portion 14 is formed to be smaller than that of the curved holding portion 15. Therefore, when the doll holder 10A is inserted so that the doll's torso is sandwiched between the tip bulges 16, the curved holding portion 15 and the straight portion 14 open away from each other against the elastic force. Here, in the case of a smaller doll, the straight portion 14 opens while the shape of the curved holding portion 15 is maintained, and the doll is held by the facing portion 15a with a predetermined elastic force. On the other hand, in the case of a larger doll, the straight portion 14 opens and the facing portion 15a of the curved holding portion 15 deforms so as to extend (so that the radius of the facing concave curved portion increases), and the facing portion 15a fits the larger doll, holding the doll. In this way, the doll holder 10A can reliably hold both small and large dolls.

[0017] At this time, the tip bulge 16 can hold the doll held by the facing portion 15a so that the doll is not pushed forward.

[0018] Furthermore, since the tip swelling portion 16 is provided with a tip flat portion 16a, when inserting a doll between the tip flat portions 16a, the surface pressure on the part of the tip swelling portion 16 (tip flat portion 16a) that comes into contact with the doll can be reduced. This reduces damage such as scratches to the surface of the doll. In particular, for dolls with hair planted on the surface (more preferably, short fiber hair electrostatically planted), damage to the planted hair portion is reduced.

[0019] Furthermore, the support portion 11, bulging portion 13, and straight portion 14 are formed along the axis CL, and the curved holding portion 15 is curved convexly in the direction in which bulging portion 13 bulges. Therefore, when doll holder 10A holding a doll is attached to mounting surface 20 and the doll (doll holder 10A) is viewed from the tip of doll holder 10A, only the tip of doll holder 10A is slightly visible, and bulging portion 13 and support portion 11 are hidden by the doll. This makes it appear as if the doll is floating in the air, providing a fun experience for children to play with.

[0020] (Second embodiment) Next, a second embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to Figs. 3 and 4. Note that the same reference numerals are used to designate the same parts as in the doll holder 10A of the first embodiment, and their description will be omitted or simplified. The doll holder 10B shown in Figs. 3 and 4 has a tip bulge 16B at the tip side of the curved holding portion 15. The tip bulge 16B has a convexly curved portion 16Ba, whose opposing portion is convexly curved in a plan view. The cross-sectional area of ​​the straight portion 14 (see the boxed Q2-Q2 cross-sectional view in Fig. 4) is formed sufficiently smaller than the cross-sectional area of ​​the cross-section of the curved holding portion 15 excluding the base end of the curved holding portion 15 (for example, the cross-section of portion P), which is the range indicated by dimension D3.

[0021] (Third embodiment) Next, a third embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to Figures 5 and 6. Note that the same parts as those in the doll holder 10A of the first embodiment are given the same reference numerals, and their description will be omitted or simplified. In the doll holder 10C shown in Figures 5 and 6, the tip 15Ca of the curved holding portion 15 is tapered. In other words, the curved holding portion 15 is formed so as to gradually narrow in both the width direction and thickness direction in a plan view from near the center of the curved holding portion 15 (approximately the center portion of the length D2) to the tip.

[0022] According to the above-described embodiment of the present invention, it is possible to provide a doll play toy having the following features.

[0023] The doll holder of the first aspect comprises a support part having an engaging part that engages with the mounting surface, two bulging parts formed on the support part so as to bulge outward in opposite directions, two straight parts extending in a straight line from each of the bulging parts toward their tips at a predetermined interval, and two curved holding parts that extend outward from each of the straight parts in a convex curve toward their tips in opposite directions, with the opposing parts that hold the doll formed in a concave curve.

[0024] With this configuration, the straight section and the curved holding section can be opened to different degrees, so that the dolls can be held securely even when playing with or displaying a number of different types of dolls with different shapes and sizes, such as larger dolls and smaller dolls.

[0025] No. 1 In the doll holder according to this aspect, two distal bulging portions are provided on the distal end side of each of the curved holding portions, which are formed so as to bulge in directions facing each other.

[0026] With this configuration, the curved opposing portion can hold the doll's torso and other parts, while also holding the doll so that it does not jump out towards the tip.

[0027] No. 1 In the doll holder according to the above aspect, the bulging tip portions have flat tip portions at opposing positions.

[0028] With this configuration, even if the doll has a surface that is easily scratched, such as one that has been electrostatically flocked, scratches on the surface of the doll are reduced when the doll is held by the doll holder.

[0029] No. 1 The doll holder according to the third aspect is formed so that the elastic force of each of the straight portions is smaller than the elastic force of each of the curved holding portions.

[0030] With this configuration, for example, for smaller dolls, the doll can be held by the elastic force of the straight part with almost no deformation in the curved holding part, and for larger dolls, the curved holding part can also be deformed to hold the doll, so it is possible to provide a doll holder that can hold multiple types of dolls of different shapes and sizes more reliably.

[0031] Although the embodiments of the present invention have been described above, the present invention is not limited to the above embodiments, and various modifications are possible without departing from the spirit of the present invention. For example, in this embodiment, the convex engaging portion 12 and the concave (hole-like) engaged portion 21 of the mounting surface 20 are formed to engage with each other in a convex-concave manner, but the convex-concave relationship may be reversed, and other engagement methods such as screws may be used.
