[0009] The following describes a doll body representing one aspect of the present invention with reference to the drawings. In the following description, the front, back, left, right, top, bottom, etc. are expressed based on the doll body.

[0010] Fig. 1 is a front perspective view of a doll body 1, as seen diagonally from the front. The doll body 1 shown in Fig. 1 is configured such that the legs 20, head 30, and arms 40 are connected around the torso 10, so that the main body 8 can stand on its own on a base 88. 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 can rotate horizontally relative to a first connecting part 11 at the neck of the torso 10. The arms 40 are connected to the shoulders 13 so as to be rotatable 360 ​​degrees so as to face in the front-to-back and up-and-down directions.

[0011] The head 30 has a first complementary part 81 therein that can be attached to the head 30 from a first horizontal direction when the head 30 is in a freestanding state. Also, a second complementary part 82 is provided inside the body 10 that can be attached to the body 10 from a second vertical direction different from the first direction when the head 30 is in a freestanding state.

[0012] 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-rear direction. The legs 20 have a first upper leg part 21 and a second lower leg part 22 connected to the first part 21 so as to be swingable in the front-rear direction. The legs 20 are also connected to a pair of leg shafts 12c protruding on both the left and right sides from the hip joints 12 (see FIG. 5).

[0013] Here, the first part 21 is non-detachably connected to the torso 10 so that it cannot be easily removed, and the second part 22 is also non-detachably connected to the first part 21. The torso 10, the head 30, the arms 40, and the hands 50 are also non-detachably connected so that they do not easily come off during a rotation operation.

[0014] As shown in the figure, the doll body 1 is formed without a face or clothing on its outer surfaces 10s, 30s, and in order to make it into a specific character, a pattern can be drawn on the outer surface of the doll body 1, or an attachment part imitating hair or a helmet can be attached to the head 30. The attachment part can also be attached to a location other than the head 30.

[0015] 2 is a rear perspective view of the doll body 1, seen from the diagonally rear side. When attached to the head 30, the first complementary part 81 is configured to be visible from the rear of the head 30r, as shown in FIG. 2, and constitutes part of the outer surface 30s of the head 30. When attached to the torso 10, the second complementary part 82 cannot be seen from the outside.

[0016] In this way, the first complementary portion 81 constitutes the flesh of the head 30, and the second complementary portion 82 constitutes the flesh of the body 10. Therefore, during molding, the head 30 and body 10 are integrally molded in a cavity (injection space) where the complementary portions 81, 82 correspond to a core and are not parted by a mold. As a result, the head 30 is manufactured as an integrally molded product with no trace of a mold joining line (parting line) between the front head portion 30f on the front side and the rear head portion 30r on the rear side when viewed from the front-to-rear direction. The body 10 is also molded as an integrally molded product in a cavity without a parting line, and is therefore manufactured as a molded product with no trace of a joining line between the front body portion 10f on the front side and the rear body portion 10r on the rear side when viewed from the front-to-rear direction.

[0017] 3 is an exploded perspective view of the head 30 of the doll body 1. As shown in FIG. 3, the first complementary part 81 is cylindrical, and a first insertion hole 81h into which the first connecting part 11 can be inserted is formed on the lower side of its outer periphery. A first opening 30h corresponding to this first complementary part 81 is formed in the occipital region 30r of the head 30, and a first recess 30d recessed forward is formed. The shape of this first recess 30d is cylindrical but dissimilar to that of the head 30. Furthermore, a neck through-hole 30e is formed on the lower end side of the first recess 30d.

[0018] A cylindrical first connecting portion 11, which corresponds to the neck portion, protrudes from the upper part of the body 10. To connect the head 30 and the body 10, first, the first complementary portion 81 is inserted into the head 30 so that the first insertion hole 81h communicates with the neck through-hole 30e. Then, the first connecting portion 11 is inserted into the neck through-hole 30e. As a result, the tip side of the first connecting portion 11 enters the first insertion hole 81h, and the first complementary portion 81 is fixed and locked so that it does not move within the head 30.

[0019] 4 is an exploded perspective view of the torso 10 of the doll body 1. The torso 10 is connected to the head 30, arms 40, and hip joints 12, and has a substantially rectangular (approximately rectangular parallelepiped) second recess 10d formed therein into which the second complementary part 82 is attached, as described above. That is, a rectangular second opening 10h is formed in the bottom surface 10b of the torso 10. The second complementary part 82 has a shape that can be said to be similar in appearance to the torso 10, but is significantly different in appearance from the first complementary part 81. For example, the second complementary part 82 has an arm locking piece 82c at the top, and the front, side, and bottom surfaces (approximately rectangular parallelepiped) are all vertically elongated and substantially rectangular.

[0020] The second complementary part 82 has a second insertion hole 82h formed on the bottom side of the torso main body 82a, into which the second connecting part 12a of the hip joint 12 is inserted and attached. Meanwhile, an arc-shaped groove 82d, which has an arc-shaped cross section and extends in the left-right direction, is formed on the upper end side of the torso main body 82a. An arm locking piece 82c is provided facing the arc-shaped groove 82d, having an arc-shaped inner surface that is continuous with the arc-shaped groove 82d. The arm locking piece 82c has appropriate elasticity and clamps the mounting shaft 41 of the arm 40, locking the arm 40 so that the arm 40 can rotate 360 ​​degrees. In other words, when the second complementary part 82 is attached to the torso 10, the mounting shaft 41 inserted through the insertion hole 15 of the torso 10 is clamped between the arm locking piece 82c and the arc-shaped groove 82d. The arm 40 attached in this manner is not only rotatable relative to the body 10 but also secures the second complementary portion 82 against movement.

[0021] At the lower end of the arm 40, a hand attachment part 42 is provided, into which a wrist part 52 of the hand 50 is inserted and which holds the hand 50 rotatably.

[0022] Figure 5 is an exploded perspective view showing the connection between the torso 10 and the legs 20 of the doll body 1. As shown in Figure 5, the first part 21 has support holes 21c that fit onto the leg axles 12c of the hip joints 12, and is locked in place by the appropriate frictional force generated when the support holes 21c and the leg axles 12c fit together. The first part 21 rotates around the leg axles 12c, and its rotation angle is limited to less than 180 degrees by contacting the position restricting parts 12b. A pair of clamping pieces 21b are formed on the lower side of the first part 21, protruding at a predetermined interval in the left-right direction. Each clamping piece 21b has a first pin hole 21h through which a pivot pin 20g passes in the left-right direction.

[0023] The second portion 22 has a protrusion 22a at its upper end, which is inserted between the clamping pieces 21b. The protrusion 22a has a second pin hole 22h through which the shaft pin 20g passes.

[0024] The second part 22 is attached with the protrusion 22a inserted between the clamping pieces 21b of the first part 21, and the pivot pin 20g is inserted into the first pin hole 21h and the second pin hole 22h to connect them together. This forms the knee part, and the first part 21 and the second part 22 can be positioned and fixed at a predetermined angle by the generation of an appropriate frictional force.

[0025] A cylindrical second connecting portion 12a protrudes vertically from the upper end of the hip joint portion 12. This second connecting portion 12a is inserted into a second insertion hole 82h of a second complementary portion 82 attached to the torso portion 10, and is fixedly connected to the torso portion 10. The joint surface between the torso portion 10 and the hip joint portion 12 is configured without any steps so as to form a continuous outer surface 10s. Therefore, when attached to the torso portion 10, the second complementary portion 82 does not form part of the outer surface 10s of the torso portion 10 and is not visible from the outside.

[0026] The first complementary part 81 attached to the head 30 and the second complementary part 82 attached to the body 10 are not in contact with each other when attached, and are structurally unrelated.

[0027] Figure 6 is an exploded perspective view of the bottom side of the second section 22. As shown in Figure 6, the second section 22 below the leg 20 is provided with third complementary portions 83 on both the left and right sides. A sole recess 22j is provided in the bottom 22b of the second section 22. The third complementary portions 83 are configured to be insertable into the sole recess 22j from a third direction perpendicular to the bottom 22b.

[0028] The third complementary portion 83 has a cylindrical bottom hole 83h formed in the bottom 22b. As will be described later, this bottom hole 83h can be used when displaying the doll body 1. The third complementary portion 83 may be made of the same resin as the other synthetic resins that make up the doll body 1, but it can also be made of a different resin. The third complementary portion 83 can also be made of metal, in which case the lower side of the doll body 1 becomes heavy and the doll body 1 can be placed stably when it is freestanding. The third complementary portion 83 can also be made of a magnet or magnetic material.

[0029] Figure 7 is a side view showing the robot in a walking state, Figure 8 is a side view showing the robot in a running state, and Figure 9 is a side view showing the robot in a jumping state.

[0030] In the walking state shown in Figure 7, the torso 10 stands approximately vertically, the knees are bent to a moderate degree, and the left and right legs 20 are spread apart. In this state, the doll body 1 can stand on its own, but a stable walking state can be achieved by using, for example, an auxiliary member 90 having a rising portion 91 that contacts the bottom 22b of the second portion 22, which constitutes the hind legs. This auxiliary member 90 utilizes the magnetic attraction between the rising portion 91 and the third complementary portion 83. That is, at least one of the third complementary portion 83 and the rising portion 91 is made of a magnet, and the other is made of a magnetic material.

[0031] 8 shows the running state. In this case, the torso 10 is leaned forward, the knees are bent, the rear kicking leg is raised high behind, and both arms 40 are spread out front and back. Even in this state, the doll body 1 can stand on its own, but by using the foot support parts 92 of the auxiliary member 90, it is possible to create a stable running state. In this case, too, a magnetic support method can be used.

[0032] 9, the jumping state is such that the torso 10 is tilted backward, the front leg 20 is stretched forward to its fullest extent, the rear leg 20 is bent rearward at its first portion 21 to its fullest extent, the second portion 22 is bent upward as if kicking, and both arms 40 are spread forward, as if performing a triple jump. In this case, the auxiliary member 90 has an insertion pin 93a provided on the rising portion 93, and the insertion pin 93a is inserted into the bottom hole 83h of the second portion 22 for support, thereby creating the effect of a jumping state.

[0033] As described above, in the doll body 1 of this embodiment, the head 30 and torso 10 are provided with the first complementary portion 81 and second complementary portion 82 that can be attached thereto, thereby forming fleshy portions of the member. This allows for increased molding precision of the doll body 1. Furthermore, the head 30 is configured so that it can be attached from the first horizontal direction when the doll body 1 is in a freestanding state, making it possible to configure it to be locked by the first connecting portion 11, which is the neck. The torso 10 is configured so that it can be attached from the second vertical direction, making it possible for it to engage with a part (mounting shaft 41) of the arm 40 that is attached to the torso 10 from the horizontal direction.

[0034] Furthermore, in the doll body 1 of this embodiment, the first complementary portion 81 and the second complementary portion 82 can be provided, so that the complementary portions can be made of materials other than resin, and the weight can be changed. Also, if the third complementary portion 83 is made of metal, for example, it can be configured so that the doll body 1 can be magnetically attached using a magnet.

[0035] In the doll body 1 of this embodiment, the head 30 and torso 10 are molded integrally in a mold in which the first and second complementary portions 81 and 82 are molded in a cavity (injection space) equivalent to a core, with no parting lines on the outside. This allows the head 30 and torso 10 to be manufactured as a single unit without any traces of the mold's connecting lines (parting lines). This allows the outer surfaces (10s, 30s) of the doll body 1 to have a smooth appearance. Furthermore, when attaching accessories to the outer surfaces 10s, 30s of the doll body 1, this allows for increased attachment accuracy.

[0036] In the doll body 1 of this embodiment, the first complementary part 81 and the third complementary part 83 are attached so as to be visible from the outside, which makes the attachment operation easy.

[0037] In the doll body 1 of this embodiment, the first complementary part 81 is attached to the head 30 from the rear of the head 30r side, so that the face side can be configured without any restrictions.

[0038] In the doll body 1 of this embodiment, the first opening 30h is circular, and the first complementary portion 81 has a shape that does not include straight lines, such as a rectangular or polygonal shape, which reduces the shrinkage of the resin during molding. As a result, the precision of the mating surfaces of the first complementary portion 81 and the first opening 30h can be increased, and the outer surface 30s can be made smooth when attached.

[0039] In the doll body 1 of this embodiment, the second opening 10h in the torso 10 is formed on the bottom surface 10b, so that it can be configured to be inconspicuous from the outside.

[0040] In the doll body 1 of this embodiment, the first complementary part 81 is formed with a first insertion hole 81h into which the first connecting part 11 can be inserted, so that the first complementary part 81 can be fixed so as not to come off by inserting the first connecting part 11. The second complementary part 82 is formed with a second insertion hole 82h into which the second connecting part 12a can be inserted, so that the torso part 10 and the hip joint parts 12 can be attached.

[0041] In the doll body 1 of this embodiment, the first complementary part 81 and the second complementary part 82 are configured so that they do not come into contact with each other when assembled, thereby avoiding a complicated assembly structure and cumbersome assembly operations.

[0042] In this embodiment of the doll body 1, the third complementary part 83 is incorporated into the bottom part 22b to form the bottom surface, so that it is not visible when the doll is in an upright or displayed state, and can also have an auxiliary function of maintaining the doll in the displayed state.

[0043] In the doll body 1 of this embodiment, the arm 40 is configured to be connectable in a clamped state by a part of the second complementary part 82 when connected to the torso 10, so that the second complementary part 82 can be fixed so as not to come off the torso 10, and the arm 40 is also held so as not to come off.

[0044] 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 complementary portion 81 is configured as a cylinder and the second complementary portion 82 is configured as a rectangular parallelepiped, but this is not limited to this and the shapes may be adapted to the shape of the parts to be attached.
