Detailed Description

Hereinafter, embodiments will be described in detail with reference to the drawings. The following embodiments do not limit the invention claimed in the claims, and the combination of the features described in all the embodiments is not essential to the invention. Two or more of the plurality of features described in the embodiments may be combined as desired. Note that the same or similar components are denoted by the same reference numerals, and redundant description thereof is omitted. In the drawings, the front-back direction of the member (or the fitting) in the present embodiment is referred to as the front-back direction of the member (or the fitting).

First, an example of the appearance of a human-shaped toy corresponding to the present embodiment will be described. Fig. 1A is a schematic view schematically showing the appearance of a human-shaped toy 100 according to an embodiment. Fig. 1B is a schematic diagram showing an appearance in which the posture of the upper body of the human-shaped toy 100 according to the embodiment is changed. The human-shaped toy 100 includes model members, i.e., a head 110, a body 111, shoulders 112, an upper arm 113, a forearm 114, a hand 115, a leg 116, and a waist 117, and is configured by joining these model members. At least a part of the head 110 to the leg 116 is supported to be rotatable (or swingable) with respect to an adjacent portion. For example, the head 110 is supported to be rotatable with respect to the body 111, and the shoulder 112 is supported to be rotatable, tiltable forward, and tiltable backward with respect to the body 111.

Further, the body portion 111 is supported to be rotatable with respect to the waist portion 117. In this manner, joint structures are provided at respective portions of the human-shaped toy 100, and a user (for example, the owner of the human-shaped toy 100) can set the human-shaped toy 100 to a desired posture, for example, a posture in which both hands are crossed and the chest is embraced as shown in fig. 1B. The posture of the human-shaped toy 100 is not limited to the posture of holding the chest with both hands crossed, but includes various postures realized within the movable range of the joints of the human being. Although omitted in fig. 1A and 1B, one or more decorative members can be attached to the human-shaped toy 100. The decorative member can be configured in the same manner as the model member of the human-shaped toy described in the present embodiment. As the decorative member, for example, there are weapons such as a sword and a gun, guards such as a shield, and the like.

In the description of the positional relationship between the respective parts, the positional relationship may be described as front (front), rear (rear), left (left side), right (right side), upper (upper), lower (lower), and the like, and these expressions are relative expressions based on the human-shaped toy 100. For example, the front corresponds to the front side of human toy 100, the back corresponds to the back side of human toy 100, the left corresponds to the left side of human toy 100, and the right corresponds to the right side of human toy 100.

In the present embodiment, each model member constituting the human-shaped toy 100 may be made of a thermoplastic resin such as ABS. Other materials (polyethylene, polystyrene, thermosetting resin, etc.) other than ABS may also be used. Further, each mold member may be constituted by an internal component made of ABS or the like and an external component made of a metal material covering the outside of the internal component. The external fittings are not substantially directly coupled to each other, and the relative positions of the plurality of external fittings are determined by the same internal fitting by coupling the external fittings with the internal fittings. In the case of bonding the external fittings to each other, the external fittings may be bonded in advance by a sintering process. The external fitting can be made of an alloy in which titanium, aluminum, and rare earth yttrium oxide are mixed, for example. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and may be an alloy of another kind in which at least a part of or all of the components in the combination are different, or may be a single metal such as aluminum.

Next, a change in the posture of the human-shaped toy corresponding to the embodiment of fig. 1A and 1B will be described with reference to fig. 2. Fig. 2 (a) shows a front view of the body portion 111 and the left arm portion before and after the posture change of the human-shaped toy 100. In fig. 2 (a) to (D), the body 111 and the shoulder 112 of the human-shaped toy are rotatably coupled by the shoulder joint 201. The shoulder 112 and the upper arm 113 are connected by a shaft 202 (see fig. 2C), and are pivotable about an axis in the left-right direction in a state before the posture change in fig. 2 a. The upper arm portion 113 and the forearm portion 114 are connected by the elbow joint portion 203, and the forearm portion 114 can be rotated forward with respect to the upper arm portion 113 in a state before the posture of fig. 2 (a) is changed. The forearm part 114 includes a shaft part 204, and in a state before the posture change in fig. 2 (a), the forearm part 114 can be rotated leftward and rightward around the shaft part 204 independently of the upper arm part 113. The forearm portion 114 and the hand portion 115 are rotatably connected by a wrist joint portion 205, and the hand portion 115 can be rotated in any direction with respect to the forearm portion 114 via the wrist joint portion 205. Further, a cover member 206 is attached to the shoulder portion 112.

For ease of explanation, fig. 2 (a) to (C) show only the left arm portion of the human-shaped toy 100, but the right arm portion has the same function as the left arm portion. First, the posture of the human-shaped toy 100 before the posture change is a straight posture in which the upper arms 113 to the hands 115 are not rotated. Here, an angle formed by the top of the cap member 206 of the shoulder portion 112 and an extension line (indicated by a dashed-dotted line) of the body portion 111 is represented by θ 1.

On the other hand, the posture of the human-shaped toy 100 after the posture change is a posture obtained as follows: after the cover member 206 of the shoulder part 112 is turned upward (θ 1 → θ 1', where θ 1 > θ 1'), the shoulder part 112 is further turned backward via the shoulder joint part 201, the upper arm part 113 is extended forward and turned leftward around the shaft part 202, the forearm part 114 is turned leftward with respect to the upper arm part 113 via the elbow joint part 203 along the body part 111, the forearm part 114 is turned backward around the shaft part 204, and then the hand part 115 is turned obliquely upward via the wrist joint part 205. Here, an angle formed by the top of the cover member 206 of the shoulder 112 and an extension line (indicated by a chain line) of the body 111 is represented by θ 1, an angle formed by the upper arm portion 113 and the forearm portion 114 is represented by θ 3, and an angle formed by an extension line (indicated by a chain line) of the forearm portion 114 and the hand portion 115 is represented by θ 4. In the posture after the posture change in fig. 2 (a), the hand 115 is also rotatable downward, and therefore, the angle formed by the extension lines (indicated by the dashed-dotted line) of the hand 115 and the forearm 114 when the hand 115 is in the downward direction may be θ 4.

Fig. 2 (B) shows a right side view of the human-shaped toy 100 before and after the posture change. First, the posture of the human-shaped toy 100 before the posture change is a posture in which the apex portion of the cover member 206 of the shoulder portion 112 is held horizontally and the left arm portion is laid down directly downward. On the other hand, the posture of the human-shaped toy 100 after the posture change is a state in which the shoulder 112, the upper arm 113, the forearm 114, and the hand 115 are rotated, respectively, as in fig. 2 (a). Here, the angle formed by the body portion 111 and the shoulder portion 112 is denoted by θ 5.

Fig. 2 (C) shows a perspective view of the human-shaped toy 100 before and after the posture change. For ease of description of the state of the fitting 211 included in the shoulder 112, the cap member 206 with the shoulder 112 removed will be described. The attachment 211 includes a coupling member having a 1 st end portion rotatably connected to the body portion 111 and a 2 nd end portion rotatably connected to the upper arm portion 113. First, the posture of the human-shaped toy 100 before the posture change is a state in which the 1 st end of the coupling member in the attachment 211 is located closer to the upper arm portion 113 than the 2 nd end. In this state, the 2 nd end of the coupling member is located above the 1 st end.

On the other hand, after the posture of the human-shaped toy 100 is changed, the 2 nd end of the connecting member is positioned closer to the upper arm portion 113 than the 1 st end. In this state, the 1 st end of the coupling member is located above the 2 nd end. When the 2 nd end portion of the coupling member is lowered to move the upper arm portion 113 downward, the shoulder portion 112 is rotated forward via the shoulder joint portion 201 in this state, and thereby the upper arm portion 113 can be positioned further forward.

If it is assumed that the attachment 211 is not provided, when the forearm 114 is rotated, the length of the forearm 114 is insufficient and the body 111 is obstructed, and even if the forearm 114 is rotated by the elbow joint 203, the forearm 114 cannot be completely bent to the bottom and is positioned obliquely to the front side of the body 111. The magnitude of θ 3 at this time greatly exceeds 90 degrees, for example, about 120 degrees. On the other hand, since the forearm 114 is moved forward when the shoulder 112 is rotated by the attachment 211, the forearm 114 can be freely rotated forward of the body 111 via the elbow joint 203 without being obstructed by the body 111. In this case, θ 3 may be 90 degrees or less.

Fig. 2 (D) is a front view showing the right arm portion of the human-shaped toy 100 before and after the posture change. First, the posture of the human-shaped toy 100 before the posture change is a straight posture in which the upper arms 113 to the hands 115 are not rotated. On the other hand, the posture of the human-shaped toy 100 after the posture change is a posture obtained as follows: after the cover member 206 of the shoulder part 112 is turned upward, the shoulder part 112 is further turned backward via the shoulder joint part 201, the upper arm part 113 is extended forward and turned rightward about the shaft part 202, the forearm part 114 is turned rightward with respect to the upper arm part 113 via the elbow joint part 203 along the body part 111, and the hand 115 is turned downward via the wrist joint part 205. Here, an angle formed by the forearm portion 114 and a chain line in the drawing is represented by θ 6, and an angle formed by an extension line (indicated by a chain line) of the forearm portion 114 and the hand portion 115 is represented by θ 7. Since the hand 115 is also rotatable in the upward direction, the angle formed by the extension lines (indicated by the dashed-dotted line) of the hand 115 and the forearm 114 when the hand 115 is rotated in the upward direction may be θ 7. As shown in fig. 8, the block 207 of the forearm part 114 located above the wrist joint part 205 is rotated in the vertical direction, whereby an angle θ 8 can be formed. By bending the left and right arms of the human-shaped toy 100 in this manner, the human-shaped toy 100 can take any posture other than the posture of holding the chest with both hands crossed such as inserting the hands under the armpits as shown in fig. 1B.

Next, with reference to fig. 3, the components constituting the body portion 111 and the shoulder portion 112 of the human-shaped toy corresponding to the embodiment will be described. Fig. 3 (a) shows a perspective view of the body portion 111 and the shoulder portion 112. The body portion 111 has an insertion hole 308 into which the fitting 311 of the left shoulder 112 is inserted on the right side surface, and has an insertion hole 308 into which the fitting 311 of the right shoulder 112 is inserted on the left side surface. The shoulder portion 112 is formed of a plurality of members, and the members relating to the structure of the present embodiment will be described below. First, the fitting 311 is called an insert (integrally molded product), and a part of the fitting 311 is covered with the cover 310. The cover 310 includes a cover 316 and a cover 320, which will be described later. Here, the insert molding (integral molding) refers to a molding step of integrally molding a different member in a subsequent injection molding step from a member manufactured in an injection molding step as a previous step (for example, integrally molding a member manufactured by a second injection molding of a 2 nd resin material with respect to a member manufactured by a first injection molding of a 1 st resin material), and the fitting as the insert (integral molded article) refers to a fitting molded by insert molding (integral molding).

Fig. 3 (B) shows an exploded view of the shoulder 112 at AA' line of fig. 3 (a). The metal fitting 311 is obtained by integrally molding the support portion 312 (corresponding to the 2 nd connecting member), the protrusion 313 (corresponding to the connecting portion), the connecting portion 314 corresponding to the connecting member described in connection with fig. 2, and the metal fitting 315, but may be obtained by separately combining the metal fittings. The insert type (integrally molded product) fitting 311 has an effect that each component is less likely to fall off during rotation than the non-insert type fitting 311. The support portion 312 is a convex portion or a spherical portion that engages with the insertion hole 308 included in the body portion 111, and has, for example, a ball joint. The right arm or the left arm of the human-shaped toy 100 is pivoted about the support portion 312. The protrusion 313 has a tapered tip and is inserted into an opening 319 and an opening 321, which will be described later. The coupling portion 314 is fitted to a metal fitting 315 corresponding to the 1 st connecting member, and is rotated in the vertical direction around a cylindrical portion 326 to be described later as a rotational axis. The

covers

316 and 320 rotate in the up-down direction with the protrusion 313 as a fulcrum.

The cover 316 includes a protrusion 317, a protrusion 318, and an opening 319. The projection 317 and the projection 318 are inserted into the openings of the cover 320. Thereby, the cover 316 and the cover 320 are engaged. The opening 319 has a hole into which the protrusion 313 is inserted, and may have a diameter larger than that of the protrusion 313 within a range not to obstruct the rotation of the cover 316. The depth of the hole of the opening 319 may be such that the protrusion 313 does not protrude outward from the cover 316. The cover 320 includes an opening 321. The opening 321 has the same function as the opening 319, and therefore, the description thereof is omitted.

Fig. 3 (C) shows a top view of the cover 316 and the cover 320. The cover 320 shows the face that engages the cover 316. The cover 320 has an opening 321 and an opening 322. Here, the projection 317 and the projection 318 of the cover 316 engage with the opening 322 and the opening 323 of the cover 320, respectively.

Fig. 3 (D) shows an exploded view of the fitting 311. Support portion 312 includes a protrusion 313, a protrusion 324 (corresponding to the 4 th connection end) and an opening 325 (corresponding to the 3 rd connection end). The protrusion 324 is a convex or spherical portion that engages with a concave portion included in the body portion 111, and includes, for example, a ball joint. A sliding surface 327 described later is fitted into the opening 325, and the coupling portion 314 is rotated. The diameter of the opening 325 may be a size into which the sliding surface 327 can be fitted, and may be a size that does not inhibit the rotation of the coupling portion 314. The coupling portion 314 corresponding to the coupling member includes a cylindrical portion 326 (corresponding to the 1 st end portion), a support body 328, and a cylindrical portion 329 (corresponding to the 2 nd end portion). The

cylindrical portion

326 or 329 is a fitting provided with flanges at both ends of the cylinder, and the center portion of the cylinder is a flat surface and includes a sliding surface 327 or a sliding surface 330, respectively. The cylindrical portion 326 and the cylindrical portion 329 are connected by a support 328. The cylindrical portion 326 is supported rotatably at the position of the opening 325, and the coupling portion 314 rotates vertically with the cylindrical portion 326 as a rotational axis. The fitting 315 includes a through hole 331 corresponding to the 1 st connecting end portion. The sliding surface 330 is fitted in the through hole 331, and the metal fitting 315 rotates in the vertical direction in conjunction with the coupling portion 314.

Next, an attachment of the upper arm portion of the human-shaped toy corresponding to the embodiment will be described with reference to fig. 4. Fig. 4 (a) shows a perspective view of the upper arm 113. The upper arm portion 113 is composed of a plurality of members, and the members relating to the structure of the present embodiment will be described below. The shoulder 112 (not shown) is rotatably engaged with the upper arm 113 via the fitting 315. Upper arm portion 113 includes fitting 412, fitting 413, and fitting 414. The fitting 413 functions as the elbow joint 203 described above.

To illustrate the snap-fit relationship between the fitting 315 and the fitting 412, fig. 4 (B) shows a front view and a bottom view of the fitting 315. In the front view shown above in fig. 4 (B), the fitting 315 includes a protrusion 418 corresponding to the 2 nd connection end portion and a feature 419 corresponding to the connection feature. A feature 419 is provided in a part of the side surface of the lower end of the protrusion 418. Here, the protrusion 418 is provided at a position shifted to the left with respect to an axis extending downward from the through hole 331 (i.e., a position close to the body portion 111). On the other hand, the through hole 331 is provided at a position shifted rightward with respect to an axis extending upward from the protrusion 418 (i.e., a position distant from the body 111). That is, the position of the through hole 331 and the position of the protrusion 418 are in a diagonal positional relationship of being away from each other. This positional relationship has the effect of canceling out the upper arm portion 113 from the body portion 111 by an amount corresponding to the length of the coupling portion 314 of the shoulder portion 112 (i.e., the spread of the forearm portion 114 is short when rotated). If the protrusion 418 is located at a position on the extension line below the through hole 331, the protrusion 418 connected to the upper arm 113 is located at a position away from the body 111, and therefore the spread of the forearm 114 is short during rotation, and the forearm 114 cannot be rotated to a position parallel to the body 111 (for example, θ 3 is 120 degrees in fig. 2 (C)). By forming the positional relationship between the through hole 331 located at a position distant from the body portion 111 and the protrusion 418 located at a position close to the body portion 111, the chest side surface portion of the body portion 111 can be prevented from coming into contact with when the forearm portion 114 is rotated forward. In the bottom view shown below in fig. 4 (B), a feature 419 is provided on the side surface of the protrusion 418, and is formed into a substantially circular shape. Thus, the metal fitting 315 includes a lock mechanism that can be rotated and fixed at a predetermined position with respect to a metal fitting 412 described later by a protrusion 418 including a feature 419.

Fig. 4 (C) shows a perspective view and a top view of the fitting 412. In the perspective view shown above in fig. 4 (C), the metal fitting 412 includes a recess 420 and an opening 421. The recess 420 accommodates and fits the projection 418, and functions as the shaft 202. The diameter of the recess 420 may be a size into which the protrusion 418 can be fitted, and may be a size that does not inhibit the rotation of the fitting 315. In a plan view shown below in fig. 4 (C), the recess 420 is provided with features 422 corresponding to the receiving features at two upper and lower positions on the inner periphery thereof. When the protrusion 418 is fitted into the recess 420 and rotated in the left or right direction, the metal fitting 315 and the metal fitting 412 are engaged at a position where the feature 419 and the feature 422 overlap. Thereby, the upper arm portion 113 is connected to the shoulder portion 112 so as to be rotatable in the right-left direction.

Fig. 4 (D) is an exploded view of the fitting 413 functioning as the elbow joint section 203. The fitting 413 includes a protrusion 424, a protrusion 425, and a protrusion 426. Fitting 427 shows a surface that engages fitting 413. The fitting 427 includes a recessed portion 428, a recessed portion 429, and an opening portion 430. Here, the protrusion 424 fits into the recess 428, the protrusion 425 fits into the recess 429, and the protrusion 426 fits into the opening 430.

Fig. 4 (E) shows a perspective view and a left side view of the fitting 414. In the perspective view shown above (E) of fig. 4, the fitting 414 includes a recess 431 and an opening 432. In the left side view shown in the lower part of fig. 4 (E), the fitting 414 includes the features 433 at two left and right locations on the inner periphery of the recess 431. The fitting 414 has the same function as the fitting 412, and therefore, the description thereof is omitted. The metal fitting 412 can be rotated in the vertical direction about the protrusion 424 as the rotational axis by fitting the opening 421 and the protrusion 424. The fitting 414 can be rotated in the vertical direction about the rotation axis of the protrusion portion 425 by fitting the opening portion 432 and the protrusion portion 425.

Next, with reference to fig. 5, the attachment of the forearm portion of the human-shaped toy corresponding to the embodiment will be described. Fig. 5 (a) shows a perspective view of the forearm 114. The forearm portion 114 is formed of a plurality of members, and the members relating to the structure of the present embodiment will be described below. First, the front arm 114 is called an insert (integrally molded product), and is composed of three parts. The definition of the insert (integrally molded article) is as described above. The forearm part 114 is obtained by integrally molding a fitting 511 corresponding to the 1 st forearm member, a fitting 512 corresponding to the 2 nd forearm member, and a fitting 513, but may be obtained by combining the respective fittings. The front arm 114 of the insert type (integrally molded product) has an effect that each component is less likely to fall off during rotation than the front arm 114 of the non-insert type.

Fig. 5 (B) shows a front view, a right side view, and a left side view of the fitting 511 in order from the left. In the front view shown on the left side of fig. 5 (B), the metal fitting 511 includes a protrusion 514, a feature portion 515 provided in a part of the right end side surface of the protrusion 514, a cylindrical portion 516, and a cylindrical portion 517. In the right side view shown in the center of fig. 5 (B), a protruding feature 515 is provided on the outer periphery of the protrusion 514, forming a substantially circular shape. The protrusion 514 is fitted into the recess 431 of the metal fitting 414 shown in fig. 4 (E), and functions as the shaft 204. In the left side view shown on the right side of fig. 5 (B), the cylindrical portion 516 and the cylindrical portion 517 have flanges at both ends of a cylinder having a constricted portion in the central portion thereof, and have a sliding surface 518 and a sliding surface 519 as surfaces having constricted portions.

Fig. 5 (C) shows a perspective view and a left side view of the fitting 512. In the perspective view shown on the left side of fig. 5 (C), the attachment 512 includes a protrusion 520 and an opening 521. In the left side view shown on the right side of fig. 5 (C), the projection 520 has a substantially cross shape, and the lower end of the projection 520 is fitted into an opening 522 of a later-described metal fitting 513. The opening 521 accommodates the sliding surface 518 and is fitted thereto, and the assembly of the metal fitting 512 and the metal fitting 513 is rotated in the vertical direction about the opening 521 as a rotation axis. The sliding surface 519 is fitted into an opening of a decorative component, not shown.

Fig. 5 (D) shows a perspective view and a bottom view of the fitting 513. In the perspective view shown on the left side of fig. 5 (D), the attachment 513 includes an opening 522 and a recess 523. The concave portion 523 engages with a projection 613 of the hand 115 described later to form the wrist joint portion 205. In a bottom view shown on the right side of fig. 5 (D), the metal fitting 513 has a substantially rectangular opening 522. The lower end of the protrusion 520 is inserted into the opening 522, and the metal fitting 512 and the metal fitting 513 are fitted to each other.

Next, with reference to fig. 6, the hand parts of the human-shaped toy corresponding to the embodiment will be described. Fig. 6 (a) shows a perspective view of the hand 115. The hand 115 is composed of a plurality of members, and the members relating to the structure of the present embodiment will be described below. The hand 115 includes a finger 611, a support body 612, and a protrusion 613. The hand 115 is a fitting imitating a human hand, but is not limited to a configuration in which all fingers are extended as shown in the figure, and may be in a fist-making state.

Fig. 6 (B) shows an exploded view of the hand 115. The finger parts 611 include columnar protrusions 615, and the protrusions 615 are fitted into openings 621 described later. The support body 612 includes an opening 616, an opening 617, and a recess 618. The recess 618 has a rectangular recess for receiving the projection 613. The protrusion 613 includes a protrusion 620 and a feature 619 that is tapered in shape. The feature 619 is fitted into the opening 617. The finger parts 611 and the support body 612 rotate vertically about the opening 617 as a rotation axis. The protrusion 620 is a convex or spherical portion that engages with the concave portion 523 of the forearm 114, and includes, for example, a ball joint. Thereby, the hand 115 is rotated in the up-down direction with respect to the forearm part 114 by the protrusion 620. Fig. 6 (C) shows a left side view of the support body 612. The support 612 includes an opening 621, and the opening 621 is fitted to the protrusion 615.

Fig. 7 is a diagram for explaining an effect obtained by the configuration of the shoulder portion of the human-shaped toy corresponding to the embodiment. The description will be given using a state in which the shoulder 112 and a part of the upper arm 113 (the metal fitting 412) are connected. Fig. 7 (a) shows the 1 st state in which the shoulder 112 is not rotated and the upper arm 113 is rotated in the left direction with respect to the shaft. Fig. 7 (B) shows a 2 nd state in which the shoulder portion 112 is rotated downward and the upper arm portion 113 is rotated in the left direction with respect to the axis.

In the 1 st state, a part of the outer peripheral portion of the cylindrical portion 326 is in contact with the notch portion 711 of the fitting 411. The cylindrical portion 326 is located at a position close to the upper arm portion 113 (upper arm portion side), but the cylindrical portion 329 is located at a position farther from the upper arm portion 113 than the cylindrical portion 326. On the other hand, in the 2 nd state, a part of the outer peripheral portion of the cylindrical portion 326 and the notch portion 711 of the metal fitting 411 are separated from each other without contact. The cylindrical portion 326 is located at a position distant from the upper arm portion 113, but the cylindrical portion 329 is located at a position (upper arm portion side) closer to the upper arm portion 113 than the cylindrical portion 326. That is, in the 2 nd state, the upper arm 113 is located at a position distant from the shoulder 112 as compared with the 1 st state. By rotating the shoulder portion 112 downward and changing from the 1 st state to the 2 nd state, the upper arm portion 113 can be moved to a position away from the shoulder portion 112 by an amount corresponding to the length from the cylindrical portion 326 to the cylindrical portion 329.

Fig. 8 is a diagram for explaining an effect obtained by the structure of the front arm portion of the human-shaped toy corresponding to the embodiment. For ease of explanation, the hand 115 is not rotated in a state where the forearm portion 114 and the hand 115 are connected. Fig. 8 (a) shows the 3 rd state in which the forearm portion 114 is not rotated. Fig. 8 (B) shows a 4 th state in which the forearm portion 114 is rotated upward about the cylindrical portion 516 as a rotation axis. The positions of the cylinder portion 516 in the 3 rd state and the 4 th state are the same.

In state 3, fitting 511, fitting 512, and fitted fitting 513 are aligned on the same line. On the other hand, in the 4 th state, the metal fitting 512 and the fitted metal fitting 513 are rotated upward about the cylindrical portion 516 as a rotation axis. Here, the angle formed by the fitting 511 and the fitting 513 is represented by θ 8. Since the metal fitting 513 can be rotated downward with the cylindrical portion 516 as a rotation axis, an angle formed by the metal fitting 511 and the metal fitting 513 rotated downward may be θ 8. By turning the forearm part 114 upward and changing from the 3 rd state to the 4 th state, the position of the forearm part 114 in the vertical direction can be adjusted when the both hands of the human toy 100 are in the cross breast-clasping posture. Further, although a decorative member (not shown) may be provided on the downward outer side of the forearm portion 114, the range of rotation of the fitting 513 (i.e., the angle θ 8) may be a range that does not contact the external decorative member (not shown).

As described above, the use of the attachment 211 makes it possible to move the forearm part 114 to the front side of the body part 111 when the shoulder part 112 is rotated downward. Therefore, the front arm portion 114 can be positioned on the front side of the body portion 111 substantially in parallel with the body portion 111 without being hindered by the body portion 111. Further, by using the

metal fittings

511, 512, and the fitted metal fitting 513, the vertical position of the chest clasping with both hands crossed before the body 111 can be adjusted when the forearm 114 is rotated. When the toy members of the left arm portion and the right arm portion described above are applied to the human-shaped toy 100, the degree of freedom of the posture and the posture that can be taken by the human-shaped toy 100 can be further improved.

The present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiments, and various modifications and changes can be made within the scope of the present invention.
