Description

"Play doll with a frame articulated with each other connected limbs ".,

The invention relates to a play doll with a frame of articulated limbs covered by an outer skin.

It is already known to attach the arms and legs of a doll by joints to the body and the individual Links of the arms and legs to one another through open joints connect to. However, this structure has

Specialist part that a relatively wide joint is created between the limbs and the body, in which Dirt can accumulate and prevent the doll from looking lifelike. The ones used Joints are e.g. ball-and-socket joints, their parts

are pressed against each other by built-in tension springs.

It is also known to use flexible wire or sheet metal frames or hinge joints in dolls' bodies and To embed links made of foam or Veich-PYG or in one? to arrange self-supporting doll skin, to cover the joints from the outside.

Such embeddings are only possible with relatively small dolls or thin limbs, because otherwise there is insufficient mobility of the joints. When arranging joints in a self-supporting doll skin, the skin must be sufficiently dimensionally stable, otherwise the irregular shapes of the Joints can be seen through the skin even with very slight movements.

The invention is based on the object of a play doll propose that also, when making im

larger scale sufficient mobility of the Limbs made possible without the lifelike appearance suffering.

The play doll according to the invention is thereby characterized in that the articulated frame the outer shape is defined and has a tight-fitting, outer skin made of a non-rigid, elastic Material is coated.

Such a doll has the advantage that the external shape of the body or limbs by corresponding Shaping of the inner framework can be faithfully recreated. . The arms and legs can be in be articulated, the feet can also be articulated, and it is even possible to provide a hip joint in the trunk. The skin pulled over it covers all the joints and allows a lot great mobility of the limbs because they can slide freely on the inner frame *

An advantageous embodiment is characterized in that the members of the articulated framework a through Shells are covered that define the outer shape.

This advantageous solution is characterized by very low manufacturing costs and allows the outer shape of the joints to be simple Way to adapt to natural shapes.

Further, advantageous configurations of the subject matter of the invention can be found in the subclaims. _s

The invention is described below with reference to an exemplary embodiment shown in the drawing explained in more detail. It shows:

Figure 1 a play doll according to the invention, "in which an arm and a Shown leg cut

Figure 2 shows another embodiment of a

Ankle in the extended state and

109847/0018

Figure 3 is another view of the ankle according to Figure 2.

The knee joint according to FIG. 1 should first serve as an explanation. It "consists of a hinge joint, which is completed by two hemispherical shells 2 and 3. A joint stump 1 or 4 is attached to each of the two hemispheres} these two stumps e 1 and 4- can be pivoted against each other about an axis.

On the upper joint stump 1 are two hollow cover shell halves 5 attached, which define the outer shape of the thigh.

109847/0018

The shells 5 are on the joint stump 1 through shaped pins 6 and 7 fixed in corresponding Pin receptacles in the joint stump 1 in here are preferably glued.

Two further cover shell halves 8, which define the outer shape of the lower leg, connect via two pins 9 and 10 the joint stump 4 of the joint 2, 3 with the joint stump 11 of an ankle joint 12. The various joints in the arm are connected in a similar way. "

The cover shell halves 3% 8 are preferably made of plastic and are preferably glued together at a longitudinal seam 14.

However, it is also possible to produce the cover shells from one piece each as a hollow body. By a longitudinal seam 14, it is then possible to bend open the shells so that the pins in corresponding pin receptacles the joint stumps can be inserted. Relax when you let go of the cover shells this and the seam 14 is closed elastically.

This closing effect is supported by the covering skin 15 drawn over it, which fits closely the cover shells. It is of course also possible to mold the cover shells directly onto the joint stumps. The end faces of the cover shells 5 »8 are bevelled inwards so that they do not form any bumps on the spherical outer surfaces of the joints can rest.

The outer skin 15, which can be pulled over the inner frame, is made of a very elastic material, and preferably in the immersion process from natural and / or synthetic rubber solution or latex. A Another advantageous method for producing the outer skin 15 is that it is in Extrusion blow molding from an elastic Material such as thermoplastically processable styrene / butadiene rubberj thermoplastically processable Polyurethane elastomer or ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer will be produced. It is also possible to pour the skin into it in a hollow mold.

The framework including the joint parts and cover shells is preferably made by injection molding made of suitable plastic «The skin is preferably over all limb parts of a leg including the Pulled over all the limbs of an arm including the hand. The attachment the arms and legs on the torso can then be done in the usual way.

However, it is also possible to have arms, legs and torso at least partially with a common skin to cover.

The ankle joint shown in FIGS. 2 and 3 can take the place of the ankle joint shown in FIG. It consists of a spherical end stump 21 of the lower leg and a pan 24 located on the foot. Both parts can be moved relative to one another by a limited angle. The freedom of movement is limited (but by a pin 22 molded onto the stump 21, which is guided in a slot 23 in the foot socket 2M- .

This joint 20, 21 is also covered by the skin 15 of the leg covered.

Although in the present application a human Doll serves as an example for explanation, it is of course possible to use the invention at other characters, e.g. B. in animal figures to use.
