Disclosure of Invention

Problems to be solved by the invention

Among toys having movable parts, a human-type toy which reproduces characters such as a changing hero, a soldier, and a large human-type robot which come out in a cartoon, a moving picture, a special-effect movie, a game, a novel (hereinafter, collectively referred to as "original works") is particularly popular among men and children.

When purchasing a human-type toy of a character appearing in the original work, the user must want to make the same posture as that seen in the original work. However, the characters originally present in the original work are assumed to exist, and whether or not they can realize a natural posture like a human being when they are three-dimensionally shaped as a human-shaped toy is not considered in many original works. Therefore, when the human-shaped toy is commercialized, the movable range of the movable portion may not be sufficient to bring the human-shaped toy into the posture as it is, and the reproduction of the posture may be incomplete. From the standpoint of the user, there are cases where: since the mobility of the movable portion is insufficient, it is difficult to achieve a posture close to the original posture, which causes a feeling of regret.

The present invention has been made to solve the problem of improving the maneuverability of a movable part of a human-shaped toy.

Means for solving the problems

The technical scheme of the invention is a human-shaped toy, which comprises: an upper member and a lower member which are vertically adjacent to each other in an upright posture; and a joint structure that connects the upper member and the lower member so as to enable the upper member to swing back and forth in a forward flexion or a backward flexion with respect to the lower member, the joint structure including: an upper joint provided on the upper member side, the upper joint being capable of causing the upper member to swing back and forth with respect to the lower member by a swing motion at the upper joint; and a lower joint provided on the lower member side in front of the upper joint in the upright posture, and configured to be capable of swinging the upper member back and forth with respect to the lower member by a swinging motion at the lower joint.

Further, the joint structure may include an intermediate joint provided at an intermediate portion connecting the upper joint and the lower joint, and the upper member may be capable of the forward and backward swinging with respect to the lower member by a swinging motion at the intermediate joint.

Further, a distance between the upper joint and the intermediate joint may be shorter than a distance between the intermediate joint and the lower joint.

Further, the joint structure may have a member that connects the intermediate joint and the lower joint, and the human toy may include a restricting portion that restricts the intermediate joint from swinging in the backward bending direction by contacting the member when the intermediate joint swings in the backward bending direction with the lower joint as a reference.

In addition, the joint structure may have a structure in which the intermediate joint can be swung in a forward flexion direction with respect to the lower joint and the upper joint can be swung in a backward flexion direction with respect to the intermediate joint.

The upper member may be a head member, and the lower member may be a body member located above the trunk.

Further, the joint structure may have a member that connects the upper joint and the lower joint, and the human-shaped toy may include a restricting portion that restricts the swinging movement of the upper joint in the backward bending direction by contacting the member when the upper joint swings in the backward bending direction with the lower joint as a reference.

In addition, the restricting portion may be provided at a position in contact with the member in the upright posture, and the joint structure may be configured to allow the upper member to swing in a retroflexion direction from the upright posture with respect to the lower member by a swing motion at the upper joint.

The upper member may be a member above the body portion, and the lower member may be a member below the body portion.

Detailed Description

Fig. 1 is a front view (front view) of a human-shaped toy 2 according to an embodiment of the present invention in an upright posture. The arrows shown in the drawings indicate the vertical, front-back, and left-right directions with respect to the human toy 2. The directions in the following description are based on the above description.

The human toy 2 is a toy that reproduces a character as a three-dimensional object, the character being an original character such as a cartoon, a moving picture, a special-effect movie, a game, or a novel. The human toy 2 of the present embodiment is a toy which has a design imitating a human robot and is formed by assembling parts separated by regions.

Fig. 2 is a layout diagram of main structural parts for explaining the positional relationship of the joint structures 3(3a, 3b, …) of the human toy 2. The human toy 2 has a 1 st joint structure 3a and a 2 nd joint structure 3b as joint structures for connecting an upper member and a lower member in a vertically adjacent positional relationship in an upright posture so that the upper member can swing back and forth in a forward flexion or a backward flexion with respect to the lower member.

The upper member is the head 4, the lower member is the upper torso member 62 which is a member above the torso 6, and the 1 st joint structure 3a is connected to the both members. The upper torso member 62 corresponds to the chest or body of the human toy 2 of the present embodiment.

The upper member is an upper torso member 62 which is an upper member of the torso 6, and the lower member is a lower torso member 64 which is a lower member of the torso 6, and the 2 nd joint structure 3b connects the two members. The lower torso member 64 corresponds to the waist of the human toy 2 of the present embodiment.

First, the 1 st joint structure 3a will be described.

Fig. 3 is a schematic view of the simplified 1 st joint structure 3a in a side view.

Fig. 4 is a perspective view showing the shape of each member of the 1 st joint structure 3a in a standing posture as viewed from obliquely above the left side of the human toy 2.

Fig. 5 is an exploded view of fig. 4.

As shown in fig. 3, the 1 st joint structure 3a includes an upper joint 11, a lower joint 12, an intermediate joint 13, an upper coupling member 14 that couples the upper joint 11 and the intermediate joint 13, and a lower coupling member 15 that couples the intermediate joint 13 and the lower joint 12.

The upper joint 11 is a joint provided on the upper member side of the 1 st joint structure 3a, and can swing the upper member back and forth with respect to the lower member by a swing motion at the upper joint. Specifically, the upper joint 11 is a ball joint and is realized by a spherical portion 11q at the upper end of the upper connecting member 14 and a socket 11s provided on the lower surface of the head 4 (see fig. 4 and 5).

The lower joint 12 is a joint provided on the lower member side and located forward of the upper joint 11 and serving as the 1 st joint structure 3a when viewed from the human toy 2 in the upright posture, and the upper member can be swung back and forth with respect to the lower member by a swinging motion at the lower joint. Specifically, the bearing 12u is fixed in the recess 62h on the upper surface of the upper torso member 62, and the lower joint 12 is realized by fitting the shaft 12j provided in the left-right direction of the lower coupling member 15 to the bearing 12u (see fig. 4 and 5).

The intermediate joint 13 is a joint provided at an intermediate portion connecting the upper joint 11 and the lower joint 12, and can swing the upper member forward and backward with respect to the lower member by a swing motion at the joint. Specifically, the intermediate joint 13 is realized by fitting a left-right shaft portion 13j provided at the upper rear portion of the lower connecting member 15 to a bearing portion 13u provided at the lower end of the upper connecting member 14 (see fig. 4 and 5).

In the upright posture, the intermediate joint 13 is positioned directly below the upper joint 11, and the upper connecting member 14 is set to be linear in side view.

The lower connecting member 15 has a lower extension 15d extending downward at the front end of the center member 15c, and the lower extension has a shaft portion 12j of the lower joint 12 (see fig. 5). The lower connecting member 15 has an upper extension portion 15u extending upward at the rear end portion of the center member 15c, and the upper extension portion 15u has a shaft portion 13j of the intermediate joint 13. In the upright posture, the rear lower surface of the center member 15c is set to be in contact with the rear upper surface of the upper torso member 62 (see fig. 3). That is, the rear upper surface of the upper torso member 62 functions as a restricting portion 62s that restricts the rearward swinging (backward bending direction in the case of the human toy 2) of the lower connecting member 15, that is, the swinging movement of the intermediate joint 13.

The upper and lower lengths of the upper connecting member 14 correspond to the length of the neck of the human toy 2, and the front and rear lengths of the lower connecting member 15 correspond to the length from the upper front end of the upper torso member 62 to the lower end of the neck. In the present embodiment, the vertical length of the upper connecting member 14 is set shorter than the longitudinal length of the lower connecting member 15. Instead of the distance between the joints, the distance between the upper joint 11 and the middle joint 13 is set shorter than the distance between the middle joint 13 and the lower joint 12.

A right collar portion 67R and a left collar portion 67L (not shown in fig. 3) are provided on the upper surface of upper torso part 62 so as to protrude at positions corresponding to the left and right sides of lower connecting member 15, and a back portion 62b is formed on the upper surface of upper torso part 62 so as to protrude upward at a position corresponding to the rear side of lower connecting member 15. Therefore, the front, rear, left, and right of the lower connecting member 15 are surrounded by the wall portions. The human-shaped toy 2 is designed to have an outer shape in which the neck is covered with a collar or a backpack.

Fig. 6 is a diagram for explaining an operation when the 1 st joint structure 3a is switched from the upright state to the forward bent state. First, in the upright posture of the human toy 2 as a reference, the 1 st joint structure 3a is in an upright state, the upper connecting member 14 faces in the vertical direction, and the bottom surface of the lower connecting member 15 on the rear side contacts the restricting portion 62s which is the rear upper surface of the upper torso member 62 (see fig. 3).

As shown in fig. 6 (1), when the human toy 2 is slightly tilted downward toward the chin of the head 4 from the upright posture, the 1 st joint structure 3a may be displaced so as to swing forward at the upper joint 11. Thereby, the human toy 2 is set in a state of being drawn in the lower jaw.

As shown in fig. 6 (2), when the human toy 2 is tilted forward with the head 4 more deeply than in fig. 6 (1), the 1 st joint structure 3a may be displaced so as to swing forward at the intermediate joint 13. In this case, the forward swing motion can be further increased at the upper joint 11. Thereby, the human toy 2 is in a state of being largely inclined forward from the root of the neck.

As shown in fig. 6 (3), when the human toy 2 is tilted forward from the upright posture with the head 4 lowered further than the chin in a top view, the lower connecting member 15 of the 1 st joint structure 3a may be swung forward (forward bending direction with respect to the human toy 2) at the lower joint 12. At this time, the upper joint 11, the intermediate joint 13, and the upper connecting member 14 are swung forward together. It goes without saying that the forward swing motion at the upper joint 11 and the forward swing motion at the intermediate joint 13 can be increased as appropriate. As a result, the base of the neck of the human toy 2 can be lifted and moved forward, and the human toy 2 is in a "low-head top view" in which it is viewed further forward and downward than the chin.

By the operation of the 1 st joint structure 3a, the upright posture of the human toy 2 can be reproduced as much as possible, and the neck portion can be made to be in a forward bent posture from the "chin-collapsed state" to the "head-lowered state". The reproducibility of the posture of the human-shaped toy 2 is at a level that has not been achieved in the past, and the mobility of the movable part of the human-shaped toy 2 is improved, thereby attracting the user to a large extent.

For example, when the human toy 2 is designed to reproduce a robot weapon equipped with a sniping rifle, the human toy 2 can be made to have a kneeling posture for sniping. Specifically, when the head 4 is changed to the "head-down looking state" at the 1 st joint structure 3a and the head 4 is swung left and right at the upper joint 11, the human-shaped toy 2 can be made to assume a posture in which the sighting telescope of the sniping rifle held in a kneeling posture is viewed. This kneeling posture is one of "sign postures" for a robotic weapon equipped with a sniper rifle, and cannot be realized by a conventional joint structure.

However, according to the 1 st joint structure 3a, the base of the neck of the human toy 2 can be raised and the head 4 can be changed to the "low head-down state", and therefore, the chin portion of the head 4 can reach positions as if exceeding the right collar 67R and the left collar 67L. This ensures sufficient inclination of the head 4, and enables the present embodiment to reproduce a posture that was not possible in the past.

Fig. 7 is a diagram for explaining an operation when the 1 st joint structure 3a is switched from the upright state to the retroflexed state. As shown in fig. 7 (1), when the human toy 2 is tilted slightly backward from the upright posture with the head 4, the 1 st joint structure 3a may be displaced so as to swing backward at the upper joint 11. Thereby, the human toy 2 is in a state where the lower jaw is lifted.

As shown in fig. 7 (2), when the human toy 2 is tilted further than the attitude-point problem of fig. 7 (1), the 1 st joint structure 3a may be displaced so as to swing rearward at the intermediate joint 13. At this time, since the rear lower surface of the central member 15c of the lower connecting member 15 is restricted from swinging by the rear upper surface (the restricting portion 62s) of the upper body member 62, the intermediate joint 13 cannot be swung from the upright posture. Thus, the human toy 2 is seen obliquely upward such that the neck portion is obliquely tilted backward from the base portion and obliquely upward and forward.

As shown in fig. 7 (3), when the human toy 2 is sufficiently tilted further rearward with the head 4 deeper than the posture of fig. 7 (2), the lower coupling member 15 is swung forward (forward bending direction for the human toy 2) at the lower joint 12 with respect to the 1 st joint structure 3a, 1) to lift the intermediate joint 13 from the position of the upright posture; 2) the upper connecting member 14 is swung rearward by the rotation of the raised intermediate joint 13; 3) the head 4 is swung rearward by the rotation of the upper joint 11. Thereby, the human toy 2 is seen from above in a state where the head 4 is inclined more deeply rearward than in the inclined upward state. The head 4 can also be tilted backward from the right upward side to a tilted upward backward posture depending on the dimensional relationship of the respective portions.

By the action of the first joint structure 3a, the human-shaped toy 2 can be made to assume an upright posture while maintaining the original character design, and the neck can be made to assume a posture of being bent backward from the "chin-up state" to the "upward-looking state". The reproducibility of the posture of the human-shaped toy 2 is at a level that has not been achieved in the past, and the mobility of the movable portion of the human-shaped toy 2 is improved in accordance with the forward flexion described above, and the user is further attracted.

For example, when the human toy 2 is designed to reproduce a robot weapon equipped with a sniping rifle, the human toy 2 can be made to assume a horizontal shooting posture for sniping. The horizontal shooting pose is also one of the "sign poses" for this kind of robotic weapons.

To make a "lie shot" the human toy 2 becomes held with the rifle on the stomach and the head 4 is tilted backwards to view the scope of the rifle. Such a horizontal shooting posture is a posture which is simple for a human being, but is impossible for a conventional human-type toy. However, according to the 1 st joint structure 3a, since the head 4 can be lifted from the base of the neck obliquely upward from the position in the upright posture and sufficiently tilted rearward from the base of the neck, interference between the rear head of the head 4 and the back 62b does not occur. This makes it possible to make the human toy 2 in a horizontal shooting posture while looking at the scope of the rifle, in a state where "looking up straight upward" has not been possible in the past.

Next, the 2 nd joint structure 3b will be explained.

Fig. 8 is a schematic view of the simplified 2 nd joint structure 3b in a side view.

Fig. 9 is a perspective view showing a shape of each member of the 2 nd joint structure 3b in a standing posture as viewed from obliquely above left of the human toy 2.

Fig. 10 is an exploded view of fig. 9.

In fig. 9 and 10, only the connection portion to the 2 nd joint structure 3b is shown in the upper trunk member 62. Actually, an upper torso member 62, not shown, is present at a position upward from the hatched position of the upper torso member 62 in the figure.

As shown in fig. 8, the 2 nd joint structure 3b includes an upper joint 21, a lower joint 22, a roller joint 23, a deflection joint 24, an upper coupling member 25 coupling the roller joint 23 and the upper joint 21, an intermediate coupling member 26 coupling the upper joint 21 and the lower joint 22, and a lower coupling member 27 coupling the lower joint 22 and the deflection joint 24.

The upper joint 21 is a joint provided on the upper member side of the 2 nd joint structure 3b, and can swing the upper member back and forth with respect to the lower member by a swing motion at the upper joint. Specifically, the upper joint 21 is realized by a shaft portion 21j provided in the left-right direction of the upper connecting member 25 and a bearing portion 21u provided at an upper end of an extending portion 26e extending upward from the rear of the intermediate connecting member 26 (see fig. 9 and 10).

The lower joint 22 is provided on the lower member side in front of the upper joint 21 and is the 2 nd joint structure 3b when viewed from the human toy 2 in the upright posture, and the upper member can be swung back and forth with respect to the lower member by a swinging motion at the lower joint 22. Specifically, the lower joint 22 is realized by a shaft portion 22j provided in the left-right direction of the lower coupling member 27 and a bearing portion 22u provided at the front end of the intermediate coupling member 26 (see fig. 9 and 10).

The roller joint 23 is provided on the upper member side of the 2 nd joint structure 3b, and can swing the upper member with respect to the lower member, that is, vertically by the swing motion at the joint. In the upright posture, the roller joint 23 is oriented in the front-rear direction. Specifically, the roller joint 23 is realized by a shaft portion 23j provided in the front-rear direction of the upper body member 62 and a bearing portion 23u provided in the upper coupling member 25 (see fig. 9 and 10).

The pivot joint 24 is a joint provided on the lower member side of the 2 nd joint structure 3b, and can pivot the upper member relative to the lower member, that is, can swing left and right, by a swing motion at the joint. In the upright posture, the yaw joint 24 is oriented in the up-down direction. Specifically, the pivot joint 24 is implemented by a vertical shaft portion 24j protruding from the upper end of the lower torso member 64 and a bearing portion 24u provided in the lower connecting member 27 (see fig. 9 and 10).

The intermediate coupling member 26 is provided at a position where the rear bottom thereof contacts the upper surface of the regulating portion 64s of the lower torso member 64 in the upright posture. That is, the swing of the intermediate coupling member 26 downward from the position in the upright posture of the human toy 2 is restricted.

Fig. 11 is a diagram for explaining an operation when the 2 nd joint structure 3b is switched from the upright state to the forward bent state.

When the upper body member 62 is tilted forward from the upright posture of the human toy 2, the 2 nd joint structure 3b is displaced so as to swing forward at the lower joint 22, and all the components upward from the intermediate coupling member 26 are swung forward. That is, swinging of the upper part relative to the lower part from an upright position to a forward flexion direction is achieved by means of a swinging movement at the lower joint 22.

Thus, the human toy 2 bends forward with the front of the facing portion between the upper torso member 62 and the lower torso member 64 as a fulcrum when viewed from the side. In this way, the embodiment can achieve a forward bending posture as if a person were compressing the contracted abdomen and extending the dorsal side.

Fig. 12 is a diagram for explaining an operation when the 2 nd joint structure 3b is switched from the upright state to the retroflexed state. When the upper body member 62 is tilted rearward from the upright posture of the human toy 2, the rearward swinging motion of the upper joint 21 is performed to swing all the components upward from the upper connecting member 25 rearward because the downward swinging motion of the intermediate connecting member 26 from the position in the upright posture of the human toy 2 is restricted.

Thus, the human toy 2 bends backward with the rear of the facing portion between the upper torso member 62 and the lower torso member 64 as a fulcrum when viewed from the side. In this way, the embodiment can achieve a posture in which the back is bent backward as if a person were stretching the abdomen.

As an effect of the structure of the 2 nd joint structure 3b described with reference to fig. 11 and 12, when the 2 nd joint structure 3b is to be brought into the anteriorly flexed state or the posteriorly flexed state, the 2 nd joint structure 3b is automatically caused to perform a swinging motion at a joint in the relative flexion direction of the upper joint 21 and the lower joint 22. Therefore, when the user wants to bend the human-shaped toy 2 forward or backward, the user can only perform the operation of folding the upper and

lower body members

62 and 64 in a desired direction while holding them in the hand. That is, the user does not need to have a sense of "bending at the lower joint 22 in an attempt to bend forward" or "bending at the upper joint 21 in an attempt to bend backward", and the movable portion of the human toy 2 can have high mobility.

Fig. 13 is a longitudinal sectional view of the human-shaped toy 2 in an upright posture with the trunk 6 as the center.

Fig. 14 is a longitudinal sectional view of the body portion 6 of the human toy 2 in a state where the 1 st joint structure 3a and the 2 nd joint structure 3b are flexed forward.

Fig. 15 is a longitudinal sectional view of the body portion 6 of the human toy 2 in a state where the 1 st joint structure 3a and the 2 nd joint structure 3b are bent backward.

When these figures are compared, it is understood that the human-shaped toy 2 can be made to have a natural forward flexion posture and a natural backward flexion posture as in a human-shaped toy.

The embodiments to which the present invention can be applied are not limited to the above-described examples, and addition, omission, and modification of the components can be appropriately performed without changing the gist of the invention.

For example, the design of the human toy 2 is not limited to a robot weapon, and can be appropriately selected as long as it is a variant hero, a human soldier, an overhead human creature (for example, a wolf, a dragon having a dragon head and a scaly skin, or the like), a character having a human shape in part, or the like.

Further, in the 2 nd joint structure 3b, the upper joint 21 and the roller joint 23 can be replaced with one ball joint. Likewise, the lower joint 22 and the yaw joint 24 can be replaced by one ball joint.

In the above embodiment, the example in which the 1 st joint structure 3a is used as the joint structure of the neck portion is shown, but the present invention can also be applied to joints between a portion protruding from the trunk, such as an arm, a leg, or a tail, and the trunk.
