[0009] The following describes an embodiment of a doll body representing one aspect of the present invention with reference to the drawings. In the following description, the terms front, back, left, right, up, down, etc. are used with the doll body as the reference.

[0010] FIG. 1 is a front perspective view of a doll body 1, seen diagonally from the front. The doll body 1 shown in FIG. 1 comprises a torso 10, legs 20, a head 30, and arms 40 connected to each other to form a main body 8. Hands 50 are connected to the ends of the arms 40. The legs 20, head 30, and arms 40 are rotatably connected to the torso 10. For example, the head 30 includes a neck 11 that can be inserted into the torso 10 and is rotatable horizontally relative to the torso 10. A helmet 60 is attached to the head 30. As described below, the helmet 60 includes, for example, a first part 61 on the front side and a second part 62 on the rear side. The arms 40 are connected to shoulders 13 so as to be rotatable 360 ​​degrees in the front-to-back and up-to-down directions.

[0011] The legs 20 are connected to the hip joints 12 provided at the lower end of the torso 10 so as to be swingable in the front-to-rear direction. The legs 20 have a first upper leg portion 21 and a second lower leg portion 22 connected to the first portion 21 so as to be swingable in the front-to-rear direction. The first portion 21 is connected to a pair of leg axes protruding on both the left and right sides from the hip joints 12. The second portion 22 is rotatably connected to the first portion 21 via knee axes 22p.

[0012] As shown in the figure, the doll body 1 can stand upright on the support part 80. In addition to the upright position, the doll body 1 can also be in a sitting position and take various other poses.

[0013] The illustrated doll body 1 is formed without clothing on its surface other than the head 30. However, to create a specific character, it is possible to draw a pattern on the exterior of the doll body 1 or attach other attachment parts to parts other than the head 30. Furthermore, by preparing and storing helmets 60 with different appearances, it is possible to create doll bodies 1 for different characters.

[0014] Figure 2 is an exploded perspective view of the helmet 60 shown in Figure 1. The helmet 60 includes a first part 61 corresponding to a first region in the approximately front half of the head 30, including the face 30ff of the head 30, and a second part 62 corresponding to a second region in the approximately rear half, including the occipital region 30r. The first part 61 and the second part 62 are inseparably connected by a connecting part 70 with a link structure. This connecting part 70 with a link structure allows the first part 61 and the second part 62 to be mutually movable within the movable range of the link.

[0015] The first part portion 61 has three protrusions formed on its inner surface 61is. One of these protrusions is a front connecting boss 61b that protrudes horizontally rearward from the center of the front side and is connected to and fixed to the connecting portion 70. The front connecting boss 61b is provided with a front fixing hole 61bh into which one end connecting portion 71e of the connecting portion 70 is inserted and fixed. The other two are a pair of front attachment pins 61p that are located on both the left and right sides of the front connecting boss 61b, protrude parallel to the front connecting boss 61b, and are inserted into the front side of the head 30. In addition, an opening 61fh is formed in the area corresponding to the face portion 30ff so that the face portion 30ff can be seen from the outside when the helmet 60 is worn.

[0016] Furthermore, the opening edge 61e that mates with the second part 62 is provided with a recessed first positioning portion 68 that can receive the ear 38. This first positioning portion 68 is also provided on the second part 62, and is configured so that the one on the first part 61 side and the one on the second part 62 side receive the ear 38 proportionally. In other words, the ear 38 functions as a second positioning portion relative to the first positioning portion 68 on the helmet 60 side, thereby achieving accurate positioning.

[0017] Two protrusions are formed on the inner surface 62is of the second part 62. A rear connecting boss 62b is provided at approximately the center of the rear side, protruding horizontally toward the front and to which the connecting part 70 is connected and fixed. The rear connecting boss 62b is provided with a rear fixing hole 62bh into which the other end connecting part 73e of the connecting part 70 is inserted and fixed. A rear attachment pin 62p is provided below the rear fixing hole 62bh, protruding parallel to the rear connecting boss 62b and inserted into the rear side of the head 30. Furthermore, as described above, the opening edge 62e of the second part 62 is provided with a concave first positioning portion 68 capable of receiving the ear 38.

[0018] The connecting portion 70 includes a first part 71 that is integral with the first part portion 61, a third part 73 that is integral with the second part portion 62, and a second part 72 that connects the first part 71 and the third part 73. The first part 71 includes a one-end connecting part 71e at one end that is connected to the front connecting boss 61b on the first part portion 61 side, and a first support pin 71p that protrudes in a direction perpendicular to the longitudinal direction of the first part 71 on the side opposite the one-end connecting part 71e. This first support pin 71p is movably fitted into an elongated hole 72h formed in one end 72a of the second part 72. This allows the first part 71 to rotate relative to the second part 72 and change its longitudinal position.

[0019] The third part 73 has an other-end connecting part 73e that is inserted into and connected to the rear connecting boss 62b on the second part portion 62 side, and a second support pin 73p that extends parallel to the first support pin 71p is provided on the side opposite to the other-end connecting part 73e. This second support pin 73p is rotatably supported in a shaft hole 72i formed in the other end 72b of the second part 72. This allows the third part 73 to rotatably change its position relative to the second part 72. In addition, the second part 72 is connected to both the first part 71 and the third part 73 so as to be able to swing.

[0020] FIG. 3 is a front perspective view of the head 30, and FIG. 4 is a rear perspective view of the head 30. The head 30 has a recess 33 in its upper portion 30u and a neck portion 11 in its lower portion. The recess 33 is provided along the front-to-rear direction of the head from the first region of the forehead 30f to the second region of the occipital region 30r. The recess 33 has left and right side walls 33sw extending vertically upward from both the left and right ends of the bottom portion 33b, and is open toward the top and rear of the head. Furthermore, the bottom portion 33b is flat. The spacing between the left and right side walls 33sw is configured to accommodate the connecting portion 70 and correspond to its maximum width. Furthermore, as described below, the bottom portion 33b is configured to guide the insertion of the third component 73 and the rear connecting boss 62b when putting on the helmet 60.

[0021] A front wall 33fw that rises vertically upward from the bottom 33b is provided on the front side of the recess 33. An upper end 33ft of this front wall 33fw is configured to be able to engage with and support, for example, the front connecting boss 61b of the first part 61 when the helmet 60 is worn. Furthermore, the provision of the front wall 33fw makes it possible to further increase the outer surface of the face portion 30ff.

[0022] As shown in Fig. 3, on the front head 30f side of the head 30, front side holes 30fh are provided on both the left and right sides of the recess 33, and the front attachment pins 61p are inserted into the front side holes 30fh. Also, as shown in Fig. 4, on the rear head 30r side of the head 30, rear side holes 30rh are provided below the recess 33, and the rear attachment pins 62p are inserted into the rear side holes 30rh. Also, on both the left and right sides of the head 30, ears 38 are formed that protrude to the left and right.

[0023] An example of how to wear the helmet 60 will be described in detail below with reference to Figs. 5 to 12. Fig. 5 is an enlarged side view of the initial stage of wearing the helmet 60. Fig. 6 is a vertical cross-sectional view seen from the side in a state where the first part 61 has been worn on the head 30.

[0024] First, as shown in FIG. 5 , the helmet 60 is opened so that the first part 61 and the second part 62 are separated widely. This facilitates the operation of putting the helmet 60 on the head 30. At this time, the second part 72 of the connecting part 70 is raised almost vertically upward as shown in the figure. In this state, the first part 61 is placed over the front part 30f of the head 30, as shown in FIG. 6 . This operation inserts the second part 72 and the first part 71 into the recess 33 from the front side. At this time, the pair of left and right front attachment pins 61p are inserted into the front side holes 30fh, and the front connecting boss 61b at one (front) base end of the connecting part 70 is supported by the upper end 33ft of the recess 33.

[0025] Fig. 7 is a side view showing the state where the second part 62 starts to be pushed into the head 30 during the operation of attaching the helmet 60. Fig. 8 is a vertical cross-sectional view seen from the side in the state shown in Fig. 7.

[0026] 7 and 8, the second part 62 is rotated to the rear of the occipital region 30r in order to press it into the head 30. When the first part 61 has been attached to the forehead 30f, approximately the front half of the head 30 is received and fitted into the first positioning portion 68 of the first part 61. This ensures accurate positioning of the head 30 and the first part 61.

[0027] When the second part 62 corresponds to the occipital region 30r of the head 30, the second part 62 is positioned so that the third part 73 of the connecting part 70 is positioned lower than the first part 71 (see FIG. 8 ). This positional relationship makes it possible to move the second part 62 toward the first part 61. For example, unlike the state shown in the figure, if the third part 73 is positioned higher than the first part 71, even if an attempt is made to move the second part 62 toward the first part 61, the second part 62 cannot move forward because the vertical positions of the two part parts 61, 62 are misaligned.

[0028] Fig. 9 is a side view showing an intermediate state of mounting when the second part 62 is pressed onto the head 30 during the mounting operation of the helmet 60. Fig. 10 is a vertical cross-sectional view seen from the side in the state shown in Fig. 9.

[0029] When attaching the second part 62 to the occipital region 30r, the third part 73 is guided so that it contacts, for example, the bottom 33b of the recess 33, and can be pushed forward (see FIGS. 8 and 10 ). During this pushing operation, the second part 72 rises up substantially vertically, as shown in the figures. In this state, the upper surface 73u of the third part 73 is positioned so as to be below the lower surface 71d of the first part 71. In this state, the rear attachment pin 62p begins to enter the rear-side hole 30rh.

[0030] Fig. 11 is a side view of the final stage of the mounting operation of the helmet 60. Fig. 12 is a vertical cross-sectional view of the state shown in Fig. 11 as seen from the side.

[0031] In the final stage of the helmet 60 installation operation, the third component 73 and the rear connecting boss 62b of the second component 62 are guided by the bottom portion 33b, and the rear attachment pin 62p is guided by the rear side hole 30rh. This allows the second component 62 to be smoothly installed on the occipital region 30r. Furthermore, in the final stage of installation, the opening edge 61e of the first component 61 comes into contact with the opening edge 62e of the second component 62. At this time, final positioning is achieved by the first positioning portion 68 of the second component 62 receiving the remaining half of the ear portion 38. Furthermore, in the recess 33, as described above, the base end of the front connecting boss 61b near the first component 71 is supported in contact with the upper end portion 33ft from the initial stage of installation of the helmet 60. Furthermore, the third part 73 and the rear connecting boss 62b are supported in contact with the bottom portion 33b when the second part portion 62 is placed in correspondence with the occipital region 30r.

[0032] As shown in the figure, when the helmet 60 is completely worn, the third part 73 is positioned below the first part 71. That is, the third part 73 supports the first part 71 from below. In addition, in this state, not only is one end 72a of the second part 72 positioned above the other end 72b, but its front-to-rear position is also reversed from its position before the middle stage of wearing. In this manner, the front-to-rear positions of the one end 72a and the other end 72b of the second part 72 are reversed (the three parts of the connecting portion are in a Z-shape), which makes it easier to maintain contact (combined state) between the opening edge 61e of the first part 61 and the opening edge 62e of the second part 62.

[0033] When removing the helmet 60, it can be easily removed by pulling it apart in the front-to-rear direction.

[0034] As described above, in the first doll body 1 of this embodiment, the helmet 60 (wearing part) made up of the first part 61 and the second part 62 connected via the connecting part 70 can be attached so as to cover the wearing part (head 30) while remaining in the connected state.

[0035] Furthermore, in the doll body 1 of this embodiment, the first part 61 is configured to cover a first region that is half of the part to be attached (head 30), and the second part is configured to cover a second region that is the remaining half, so that both part parts 61, 62 alone can cover almost the entire region of the head 30, making attachment extremely easy.

[0036] In the doll body 1 of this embodiment, the head 30 can be configured as an openable and closable member in which the first part 61 and the second part 62 are connected by the connecting part 70, and can be in any state from a state in which the two parts are in contact to a state in which they are significantly separated.

[0037] In the doll body 1 of this embodiment, the first part 61 and the second part 62 can be in contact with each other when attached, so when attached to the head 30, the attached state can be maintained by the engagement between the two parts.

[0038] Furthermore, since the connecting portion 70 is configured to be held in the recess 33 of the head 30, the helmet 60 can be held in a more secure state.

[0039] In the doll body 1 of this embodiment, the recess 33 is formed to extend from the first region (forehead 30f) side toward the second region (occipital region 30r) side, so that the entire connecting portion 70 can be accommodated within the recess 33.

[0040] In the doll body 1 of this embodiment, the recess 33 is configured to be open upward in the upper part 30u of the head 30, so that the helmet 60 can be attached while the head 30 is attached to the torso 10.

[0041] In the doll body 1 of this embodiment, the connecting part 70 has a link structure in which the first part 71, the second part 72, and the third part 73 can rotate relative to each other, making it possible to change the distance between the first part and the second part using the three parts.

[0042] In the doll body 1 of this embodiment, the first part 71 or its vicinity can be supported by the wall of the recess 33, which makes it possible to more reliably hold the connecting part 70. Furthermore, the support by the wall makes it possible to more reliably attach the helmet 60 to the head 30.

[0043] In the doll body 1 of this embodiment, the bottom of the recess 33 is configured as a flat surface, so that when the attachment part is attached, the linking movement of the connecting part 70 can be guided by the bottom.

[0044] In the doll body 1 of this embodiment, the connecting part 70, which includes a first part 71 fixed to the first part part and a third part 73 fixed to the second part part, makes it easy to attach and detach the attachment part, since the swingable second part 72 that connects the two parts can change the front-to-back, up-down, and rotational positions of the two parts.

[0045] In the doll body 1 of this embodiment, the first part 61 and the second part 62 are positioned so that they are in contact with each other and overlap one another vertically, which allows the first part 61 and the second part 62 to come close to each other, and one part (third part 73) supports the other part (first part 71) from below, making it possible to stabilize the fixed and supported state of the connecting part 70 itself.

[0046] In the doll body 1 of this embodiment, the opening 61fh is formed in the first part 61, so that the face 30ff can be seen from the outside of the helmet 60.

[0047] In the doll body 1 of this embodiment, the helmet 60 is provided with a concave first positioning portion 68 that receives the ear portion 38, so that when the helmet 60 is attached to the head 30, the ear portion 38 and the first positioning portion 68 can be fitted together to accurately and easily position both components.

[0048] 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 first part 61 is attached to the head 30 and then the second part 62 is attached, but this is not limited to this. The second part 62 may be attached first, and then the first part 61 may be attached. Furthermore, the first part 61 and the second part 62 may be assembled approximately simultaneously.

[0049] In addition, in the above embodiment, the helmet 60 is a type that is attached to the head 30, but this is not limited to such a configuration, and it may be attached to, for example, the torso 10, the arms 40, and the legs 20, etc.

[0050] Furthermore, the helmet 60 may have a recess 33 along the left-right direction of the head 30 from the first region to the second region, by defining approximately the right half of the head 30 as a first region and defining the parts corresponding to the first region as the first part, and by defining approximately the left half of the head 30 as a second region and defining the parts corresponding to the second region as the second part.
