The invention relates to an articulated connection of the legs to the body of dolls by am Body and on each leg provided guide surfaces running parallel to the plane of symmetry of the body (U.S. Patent 2,328,704).

With this known articulated connection, although the legs can be compared to the body from the front Swing back and forth, thus already performing a leg movement that resembles the human model is equivalent to. However, this known connection changes the shape of the doll's body so unnatural that the incentive to play is greatly impaired.

The invention is therefore based on the object, in dolls with the articulation of the legs, the leg movements In accordance with the human model, allow the linkage to be designed so that the The body of the doll receives a natural shape corresponding to the human model.

The object is achieved in that the guide surfaces of the legs approximately in their The plane of symmetry extends and on the lower part of these guide surfaces extend inwardly transversely to these Connect surfaces of revolution on which correspondingly shaped surfaces of revolution of the body rest that extend from the guide surfaces of the body to approximately the plane of symmetry of the body.

The doll now not only has an articulated connection with which both legs opposite the Body can swing from front to back and back according to the human model, but rather also has a shape corresponding to the human model.

This is because it becomes the inside guide surface due to the guide surface placed in the plane of symmetry of the legs Half of the leg at the top through the adjoining surfaces of revolution, the axis of which is the joint axis, covered, with which equiaxed and correspondingly shaped surfaces of rotation of the body interact, which extend from the guide surfaces of the body to approximately its plane of symmetry can. This also ensures that the leg movement not only in the joint guide surfaces, but also at the lower end of the body and the associated surfaces of rotation of the legs will. In terms of manufacturing technology, this training also has the advantage that both the body as well as the legs with relatively simple molds by injection or compression molding or can be produced by blowing.

management example illustrated in a schematic representation. It shows

F i g. 1 a doll's body with the two articulated legs in a diagrammatic representation,

2 shows the same representation after removing a leg,

F i g. 3 diagrammatically shows the removed leg.

The body α of the doll has the two guide surfaces b _x and b ₂ in the area of the leg joints. The legs C ₁ and C ₂ rest against this with their guide surfaces d _x and d ₂ .

Like F i g. 3 shows, each leg has a surface of rotation Z ₁ or f ₂ , which covers the inside leg part at the top. As the drawing clearly shows, this surface adjoins the associated guide surface d _t or d ₂ , which is located approximately in the longitudinal center plane of the leg in question. The two surfaces of rotation Z ₁ and / ₂ cooperate with correspondingly designed body surfaces g _t and g ₂ , which form the lower end of the body and, following the joint guide surfaces b _t and b _{2 of} the body, extend approximately up to its plane of symmetry.

As far as the fixing of the joint parts to one another is concerned, any of the known joint designs can be used. It may, for example, as indicated dotted in Fig. 1, each leg portion c a, z in a corresponding opening of the guide surface b _t einragende preferably kugelhaubenf örmige tip h own, wherein a running inside the body of elastic strand. B. made of rubber, the two peaks h connects in a known manner.

The joint guide _{surfaces O 1} and b ₂ and d _x and d ₂ with the surfaces Z ₁ and Z ₂ and ^ ₁ and g ₂ result in a large-area guidance of the joint parts when they slide back and forth on each other during leg movements.
