Description

Toy figure.

Toy figures, the limbs of which are all or partially plugged together are known. It is also known, in the case of production by injection molding, z. B. from thermoplastic masses to inject two-tone products by about the upper body of a Figure is made in one color, a bolero jacket z. B. however in a second color thereby is sprayed onto the first part that the first part is introduced into a mold cavity gs, which around the dimensions of the bolero jacket is larger, so that the second color is injected into this cavity which creates the bolero jacket on the first part. Connect the two parts of different colors into a solid whole, because the material of the second part is hot enough when injected into the mold is to weld to the first part.

According to the invention, the "second part" of a figure (1) shown as an item of clothing is now an example the bolero jacket (2) - dimensionally stable in the press or injection molding process manufactured, whereby it has the same natural shape as if it were the upper body would clothe a figure. At least one of the arms of the figure can be plugged together with the body, so that the bolero jacket - "threaded" over the second arm - is applied to the body of the figure in exactly the same way is how to actually put on a jacket. Through the armhole of the bolero jacket that is still free

209832/0012

through this the second arm is connected to the body by a plug connection and you now have a figure in front of you that can be worn either without (e.g. "shirt-sleeved") or with a bolero jacket (e.g. over the shirt) can.

Putting on the jacket is even easier if both arms are initially missing and are connected to the figure using the plug-in method - after the jacket has been attached.

However, in the event that both arms are not removable, which can also be the case if the idea of the invention is to be evaluated using existing figure types, a modified embodiment is provided: the dimensionally stable bolero jacket \ 2) - as an example - is given to one little noticeable place, e.g. B. on the seam between the shoulder part and the back part, which is often present in garments, which often has a ventilation slot in raincoats, a very fine slit-like interruption, which, depending on the flexibility of the plastic material, is temporarily opened (= widened), allowing the arms to be pushed through during the dressing process allows, after which the widened slot closes again to a large extent, even possibly becomes invisible to the viewer when the material surfaces on both sides of the slot slide over one another in an overlapping manner.

The toy figure is in one of the inventive Versions more varied and versatile usable as if the bolero jacket were firmly connected to the figure's body.

209832/0012

It is further clear the advantage Bolero jacket in a different color, or even entirely different type of clothing suitable kind optional to use, wherein "appropriate" to be understood that the garment in question stand is shaped so that it either biegsamernMaterial with a parting line z. B. the opening of the jacket on the stomach side, or that it is pushed over the upper body of the figure, for. B. from above, can be brought to the destination. If necessary, it is then not absolutely necessary that a flexible material such as. B. polyethylene or V / calibration PVC is used for the production of the pressed or injection molded part, but it can also be a rigid product, e.g. B. polystyrene, use. This is also the case when the garment in question has a shape that allows it to be viewed from one side, e.g. B. to be covered from the back over the body part, z. B. a "fluttering" open jacket. The use of e.g. B. Polystyrene instead of polyethylene can be important if additional paintings (decorations) are to be applied to this part, because paints do not adhere well to polyethylene; VJeich PVC has other disadvantages.

Since, because of the easier dressing, as described above, it is expedient to take the path of making both arms detachable from the body, there results according to the invention? the further idea of connecting the two arms to one another to form a whole, and this advantageously by means of an object which, in the sense of the motif of

209832 / 8Q12

_ Il _

Figure seems suitable, so z. B. in the case of a cowboy by means of a rifle, in the case of an Indian by means of a rifle or an arrow that belongs to the bow. Both arms (3) and (4) and the connecting object, e.g. B. the rifle (5), are therefore expediently made in one piece , the arms (3) and (4) are provided at the shoulder ends with pins (6) or cams (7) that snap into corresponding shoulder rau ε recesses of the upper body can.

The connecting part, e.g. B. the rifle (5) * can, however, also be a detachably inserted part which is pinned into holes in the two hands, so that after mating the two arms (5) and (H) with the connecting part, for. B. the rifle (5), form a unit in the above sense.

In further development of the inventive idea is the Hand of the arm, regardless of whether the latter is integral with the figure or attached to it, not with the usual hole for inserting objects, e.g. weapons, but designed so that between

(8th)

the backward curved fingers / and a cam (9) on the palm of the hand opposite the fingertips * which can represent the thumb in about, an object such. B. a Viäffe can be plugged in. Fingertips and cams, however, according to the invention do not touch or are not "grown together", so that - and therein the advantage over the previously usual bore is also an endless, z. B. ring-shaped object, for example

209832/0012

the bow of a lasso that can be given to the cowboy. The hand so trained is universally usable, d. H. it can hold a revolver or a rifle as well as one endless loop of lasso or a pail handle.

Depending on whether more or less soft or rigid material for the manufacture of the arms with connection A

part has been chosen, it is advisable to provide pivot pins or only hemispherical cams or the like. Recesses on the one hand and pegs or cams on the other hand can either be on the body or on the arms to be appropriate. Often it is recommended, e.g. B. instead of of cones to provide cross-shaped cams that do not have such strong accumulation of material and thus rapid cooling during the injection process and good dimensional stability.

The main importance of the invention, however, lies in the extraordinary increase in the stimulus to play because both arms together with the object that connects them, i.e. e.g. B. with the gun, can be moved up and down so that one and the same toy figure can express completely different activities; z. For example, as shown in Fig. 4, a cowboy armed with a rifle can demonstrate a gazing rest position when the arms and the rifle are brought to waist height, while in the next instant the same figure by turning up the arms with the rifle is in the position Fig. 5 of the shooting shooter occupies. Since such figures usually also have rotating heads, the difference in expression of the various positions is not only particularly clear, 209832/0012

if the cowboy is looking in a different direction than the rifle is running in the rest position (Fig. 4), but for the shooting position the rifle can now also be turned up with the arms closer to the length of the cowboy looking in the firing direction (Fig. 5) so that a natural impression is created. To a certain extent, in the case of using flexible material, the shooting direction can also be varied by raising or lowering one arm compared to the other. All this is true for another example, that the bow and arrow shooting Indians, just as at and is therefore in this more apparent, bent at an angle than the ^p stands hawking the arrow and falls, upwards and downwards turning into a completely different level.

The pins (6} _ or cams (7) can be attached to both arm / Shoulder surfaces be axially aligned or slightly offset from one another, as long as the flexibility of the Material allows this.

The various positions described can now be represented both with a toy figure which the playing child has put on his bolero jacket for a cowboy, for example, as well as for one such a figure in which the jacket has been taken off.

Now there are many variations on the display of articles of clothing molded from plastic possible according to the idea of the invention, whereby the choice of the plastic molded shape to be pulled out and put on is dimensionally stable Garment depends on the choice of motif. Another example is the white work smock Painter, the fantasy costume of a clown and the cape

mentioned by a shepherd.
