The invention relates to a framework / tmd- for modeling characters primarily, though not exclusively, intended as toys or as a pastime.

In sculpture it is known to use a wire frame that twists and turns into the basic posture of the intended sculpture is bent to use as a base on which a model

for the sculpture is set up. The wire acts as a support for the modeling clay. But for children and amateurs a wire frame for making a model does not provide sufficient guidance with regard to the sndoältinsn Un »ri-3S8S d.es intended model.

The object of the invention is therefore to create a framework and a method for producing modeled figures which by children or less experienced individuals as professional sculptors to create a sculpted figure with considerable Success and can be applied at not too high manufacturing costs.

With different Ausfuhirunysfujriuwri dot "

can be human or animal figures either completely or just make them as busts.

The invention provides a framework for making a modeled figure and comprises a skeleton from a thin one Flat material in a shape indicating the skeletal outline of a figure to be modeled and at least one additional shape Part of material that is attached to the skeleton at a desired location or attachable to provide guidance on the third dimension of the figure's outline at this point.

In a particular embodiment, the thin flat material which forms the skeleton can be a pliable one Be material so that the skeleton may be accordingly

72298621114.73

can be bent. The additional material part can consist of one piece with the skeleton and from the plane of the skeleton be bendable into the desired position.

The additional material part can for example consist of separate parts, each with a slot in one have substantially the thickness of the flat material of the skeleton corresponding width, so that they are at the desired location on Skeleton attachable.

According to the invention, a method for producing a modeled figure is also created, in which strips of modeling clay on a h ^ üSr described in the preceding paragraphs. / SäWI «4 · a VWTaKv 9 ^ * V> 4- tw ^ vAa-n inn A λ » t? -I / TlTV nomäA dor \ 7 <~ »m fIe» Wi.Q + ·

to fill in the three-dimensional instructions provided. Under "Modeling compound" is to be understood here as any material that is suitable for modeling, such as modeling clay; and with "supple" it is intended to express that the sheet material is easy to bend.

According to another embodiment, the invention is the combination of a skeleton made of a thin flat material in a shape indicating the skeleton outline of a figure to be modeled and at least one slotted material part, the shape of which gives a part of the skeleton a third dimension if the slot is wider than the thickness of the thin flat material _{r is placed} on the skeleton, as well as a modeling clay created that can be rolled into .langen narrow strips.

According to another aspect of this alternative embodiment, the invention provides a method for Manufacture of a modeled figure created by wrapping strips of Modsilier mass around a skeleton, which is made of a thin flat material in a shape indicating the outline of a figure to be modeled, on which Modeling compound at least one slotted piece of material is placed at a desired location on the skeleton, so that the Outline of the figure at this point instructions for the third dimension are given, and for the modeling clay around the skeleton and the pushed-on slotted part is filled around, so that a three-dimensional modeled figure is created. If this If the skeleton consists of a thin sheet of metal or a thin sheet of pliable material, the process can do that too Include bending the skeleton into a desired posture.

In a further aspect of this alternative embodiment, according to the invention, for manufacturing a modeled figure e: Ln skeleton made of a thin flat material in a shape showing the outline of a figure to be modeled, strips of modeling compound that surround at least one part of the skeleton are wound, and at least one. Slotted piece of material created, which at a desired point of the Skeleton is placed over the modeling clay in order to outline the figure at this point for instructions for the third To give dimension.

According to the invention, a modeled figure is also created which, according to a method according to the above description or

using the combination of the parts or the partially completed modeled figure according to the description above LT ₄ CJ.

If the desired figure is to have limbs, the skeleton made of pliable material preferably has an articulation point on a limb that has the shape of a stepped in the flat material Joint has so that the limb at this joint around a

v / can earth.

A support for the modeled figure, for example a wire or a rod, can also be provided, and this Brace engages in an opening in the skeleton.

The modeling compound can, for example, be modeling clay or some other plastic molding compound (for example "PLASTICINE") and this mass can be flammable so that it can be hardened so that after modeling a more permanent figure is created. The modeled figure can be glazed, sprayed, benialized, coated with varnish or otherwise finished as desired will.

The invention is described below with advantageous

Details are explained in more detail with reference to schematic drawings of several exemplary embodiments. It shows:

Figure 1 shows the basic flat skeleton 11 for a full human figure, which consists of a thin Board or sheet metal cut out of pliable metal (such as is used for food containers commonly referred to as "cans"). With dashed lines on an arm 21 and a leg 23, on the Shoulder-elbow-hip and knee joints are two axes on indicated at each joint around which the limb can be bent.

In the skeleton there are openings 13 for receiving a wire support 15 is provided, which supports the figure hanging above a base 17, see FIG. 5.

The skeleton has no details for the hands and feet, as they would be too small to be useful in modeling

To give shape. However, they could be provided for a larger figure.

The Skelect 11 is first bent into a desired posture in order to create the basis for the final figure. The bending of a limb is only described in connection with the leg 23, since a similar procedure can be used for each Limb are applied. In order to lift the leg forward at the hip, the leg is moved forward (out of the plane of the drawing above) bent around the dashed line a, and around the leg sideways to incline, it will also bend around line b. If the leg 23 is bent out of the plane of the drawing at b, it is crosswise in front of the other leg; If the leg 23 is bent backwards out of the plane of the drawing, it extends inward from the body Outside.

The lower portions of the limbs can be bent slightly - to the length of bent hands or feet, for example of the foot 25 to indicate. The figure then appears in the posture shown in FIG.

Modeling clay in the form of long narrow strips 19 is then around the entire skeleton 11 with the exception of the calves of the legs wrapped, see Figure 4.

Instructions for modeling the thickness of the figure's body are given by partially covering it Skeleton 11 slotted, flat design parts made of plastic

be pushed. These have three basic shapes, which are shown in FIG. The head part 31 is rounded on one side ¹ -. to indicate the back of the head, while it is notched on the forehead at the front. The head part has a slot 33 which extends from the neck area.

Two similar body parts 35 are provided which indicate the thickness of the trunk basket of the figure, these body parts 35 each have a slot 37. Furthermore, two hip parts 39 are provided similar to the body parts 35, but smaller than these. Finally, two thigh parts 41 are provided which correspond to the length of the thigh and indicate its thickness. Slots 43 are provided in these upper leg parts.

The slots in all of these parts are considerably wider than the thickness of the flat material of which the skeleton is made, so that they do not fit snugly onto the flat material of the skeleton itself, but only by engaging the strips 19 of modeling clay initially wrapped around the skeleton are held. The parts 31, 35, 39 and 41 are arranged as shown in FIG. 5, that is to say they are pushed over the modeling clay until the ends of the slots hit the skeleton. The gradations in the outline of the skeleton facilitate the arrangement of the individual parts, the hip parts, for example, are determined in their position in the shaped corners on the upper edge of the hip. The parts 31, 35 and 39 are inserted " downwards, while the thigh parts 41 are inserted upwards. The end of the slot 43 is fixed in its position at the step in the knee joint xn.

The figure now has a three-dimensional structure, and the modeling can continue from this base, the final surface details being left to the skill of the Be left to the modeler. One suggestion is. Strip off Lay the modeling clay along the parts 31, 35, 39 and 41 and down the calves of the yours to fill in the figure before the final design is attempted. The figure can then be painted, sprayed, glazed or used again its components are dismantled again.

From the above description it can be seen that there are many different modeled figures from the basic combination of the skeleton 11 and the slotted parts 31, 35, 39 and 41 can be produced together with the modeling clay =

In another exemplary embodiment of the invention, a skeleton like the one described in connection with FIG. 1 is practiced Skeleton 11 used together with additional slotted pieces of material that add a third to the outline of the figure Give dimension. For this purpose, a head part, two body parts and two thigh parts with the one for the parts 31, 35 and 41 in Figure 2 are used, but differ from the parts shown in Figure 2 in that they have narrower slots, the width of which corresponds to the thickness of the flat material of the skeleton 11. These parts are attached to the appropriate Place the skeleton postponed / before modeling clay is used to create a basic three-dimensional framework To create outline. In addition to the slotted ones that can be removed from the skeleton

Parts can be used additional parts that are permanently attached to the skeleton. For example, thin Boards or panels made of a material to be connected to the skeleton that they are the flat material of the skeleton under one Cut angles.

Then strips of modeling clay are placed around this framework to make the angles between d <3m skeleton and the added one Parts to be filled in, i.e. perpendicular to the skeleton. Once this is done, streaks can be continuous wrapped horizontally around the outline and the surface details can be modeled into this top layer. The figure can be completed in the manner described above.

A human figure has been described here, but basic animal-shaped figures can be described in the same way Skeletons with appropriately slotted parts can be used for the thicker body parts, for example a horse or a dog. Birds, fish or reptiles can also be made. Pictures, for example pictures in magazines or photographs of the desired finished model can be used by the modeler as a guide to the surface details his model and can also be used as a suggestion for interesting postures, for example a jumping horse, a ballet dancer or a soccer player. By adapting the skeleton and the slotted or permanently attached parts, you can in a similar way only parts of a body can be modeled, for example a head or a head with shoulders as well

more intricate shaped basic parts.

The second exemplary embodiment shown in FIGS. 6 and 7 is used to model a head. Here is the scaffolding from a basic transverse skeleton with several slotted or permanently attached parts that run perpendicular to the skeleton educated. More parts, which are at small angles to each other, can be used for the surface details to provide better guidance, for example around the nose.

As Figure 6 shows, various parts 53, 55 are like this over a base part 51 extending in the transverse direction pushed so that they are parallel to each other. " the edges of the parts 53 to 57 are designed in such a way that they match the skeleton profile of a head correspond to different cross-sections. Another part 59 is pushed onto parts 55 and 57 so that that it extends parallel to the base part 51, and on this part 59 two projecting parts 61, 63 are attached which

the
between / parts 53, 55 or 55, 57 come to rest and a

make better guidance for the profile of the face.

FIG. 7 shows that a small part 65 is attached to part 53, which is a lateral part for modeling the nose Provides guidance. To put the parts together, the slots are pushed over one another. As for example Figure 7 shows, the part 55 has a slot 67 which determines the position of the part 55 above the slot 69 in the base part 51. The width the slots 67, 69 corresponds to the thickness of the flat material,

so that the parts are fastened together when the slots are slid over one another.

To make the modeled head, strips are used

-.1

The individual parts are laid out of modeling clay so that they fill the skeleton up to the edges of the guide parts. The final surface details will be available after laying a surface layer and modeled according to the desired shape of this layer.

The various parts 51 to 63 can be made of thin sheets or plates of wood or plastic. On the other hand, the skeleton part can also be made of flexible material, so that the angle of the head through Bending can be changed.

The outlines of the individual parts of the framework can be different, so that different after completion Profiles of the head are created. In this way historical or other famous people can be represented.

The subject matter of the invention is also one according to the invention Frame and modeling compound applied to it showing the figure.
