Definitions
- the present invention relates to a method for producing three dimensional facial features on a soft cloth doll.
- the method also has applicability for making three dimensional features in cloth other than dolls.
- the Prior Art Soft cloth dolls have been made for centuries. Many methods have been developed to produce facial features. All construct the basic head by filling a spherical, ellipsoidal or other similar shaped head cavity made of cloth with a soft substance such as down or fabric. The methods fall within three categories.
- the hobbiest may not want her doll to look exactly like another hobbiest's doll, but manufacturing quality control requires repeatable results.
- the present invention relies on a new method for creating well defined cavities into which material can be added to create facial features.
- the face is formed with two pieces of cloth, one of stretch fabric and the other which does not stretch, and the rest of the head is formed of a third piece of cloth such that the two face pieces and the rear piece form a spherical or ellipsoidal head that is filled with soft material.
- the method form features without showing stitching on the doll face.
- improved eyes which simplify assembly of the head and enhance the mechanical stability of the face can be achieved by using heat fusible material such as polyamide in the shape of a disk.
- heat fusible material such as polyamide in the shape of a disk.
- Such disks are placed on a rear piece of non-stretchable fabric in a position corresponding to the location of the eye.
- a front sheet of stretchable fabric then covers the heat fusible disk, and the disk is melted by heating the fabric with an iron.
- the front and rear pieces of fabric are held together at the eye region.
- the ends of the cord are sewn together, and the area that the disk holds together traps the cord.
- the cord causes the front piece of fabric, which can stretch, to bulge, but the disk recesses the area inside the outline of the cord.
- the protrusion corresponds to the boney structure around the eye socket, and the inset structure corresponds to the eye itself.
- a batting module may be provided with a central cut-out having space for the eyes: nose and any other features.
- the fusible disks may form of a sheet of polyamide material of the approximate size of the front and rear piece of fabric.
- the sheet of polyamide or other fuser material has cut-outs where soft stuffing can be added.
- a sheet of polyamide could have cut-outs for the eyes, nose, mouth, cheeks, eyebrows, chin and any other part where there is to be filling added. With proper techniques, the sheet polyamide can be cut with very fine patterns so that mouth details, for example, could be shown.
- the sheet polyamide is laid on the rear piece of material, the front piece of material is then laid over the sheet polyamide and the material is fused. After fusing areas where there is no polyamide are filled with soft material.
- the present method uses two pieces of fabric for forming the face of the doll.
- the first, front piece 10, and the second, rear piece 12 may be of any type of cloth depending on the color and texture objectives of the maker. As will be explained below, features protrude more if the front piece 10, which will be the outside, visible piece is stretch fabric while the rear or inner cloth 12 does not stetch. Additionally, the facial structure is more mechanically stable if the inner cloth is non-stretch. Both sheets 10 and 12 are elliptical or oval.
- the nose and mouth are formed in a similar fashion.
- the construction of the nose is discussed first.
- the two sheets of fabric 10 and 12, which are approximately the same size, are placed over each other.
- a desired outline shape for the nose is chosen, and a short piece of fuser thread 15 is made to conform to the desired outline and placed between sheets 10 and 12 at a desired location for the nose, generally near the center of the sheets ( Figure 2).
- Fuser thread 15 is formed of a polyamide or similar substance, which can be made to conform to any desired shape when it is placed on rear sheet 12.
- the thread can be heated using a clothing iron or other similar device.
- the fuser thread melts and flows into and around the cloth fibers to create a fine fused seam 17 ( Figures 3 and 5).
- another piece of fuser thread 19 can form the outline of the mouth ( Figure 2), and it can then form hidden, fine fused seams 21 ( Figures 3 and 5) after it is melted in a similar fashion.
- a fuser thread is used because it is easily controlled for adjusting the shape of the features. Only when the feature is in the exact desired shape is heat applied and the final attaching finished. Adhesives that are not set by heating can also be used. Care should be taken so that they are strong and water resistant.
- Fuser thread 15, which forms the nose is placed in a pattern with an opening at the top ( Figures 1 and 2).
- the cavity 24 ( Figure 3) formed between the front and rear pieces as outlined by the fuser thread 15 is filled with soft material through the opening at the top of the nose. This makes the nose natural in that cavity 24 flows into forehead space 30 ( Figure 5), which is also between pieces 10 and 12 and which can also be filled with material to make the forehead. Cheeks (not shown) can be formed to the sides of the nose in a similar fashion.
- a small horizontal ( Figures 2 and 3) or vertical slit 23 can be cut into rear piece 12 within the outline of the nose feature formed by fuser thread 15.
- pocket or cavity 24, which is formed within the outline of seam 17 is filled with soft material such as down 26.
- filled cavity 24 becomes the nose 28.
- front piece 10 should be of a stretch material, but it is best if rear piece 12 does not stretch so it exerts proper force on filling 26.
- mouth 32 is formed similarly in that soft filling material 34 (Figure 3) is inserted through slit 38 into cavity 36 between seams 21 made by fuser thread 19.
- Using a single outline for the mouth as shown in the exemplary embodiment does not yield separate lips. Painting the central portion of the mouth to create an illusion of separate lips, however, may be acceptable. If not, an additional piece of fuser thread (not shown) can be placed horizontally extending to or near both corners of the mouth. Two cavities are then formed, one for each lip, and are filled using the same techniques.
- the eyes can be formed as follows.
- a disk 64 of fuser material such as polyamide or similar substance is placed in the desired location on rear sheet 12 ( Figure 2).
- the top sheet of stretchable material 10 is placed over fabric 12 and disk 64.
- heat is applied to the back of sheet of fabric 12 or to the top of sheet 10 (e.g. with an iron), the fusing material melts, and when it cools, it holds region 68 together ( Figure 3).
- a piece of thick, elongated fabric is made to surround the feature, the eyes in this case.
- a thick, elongated piece of material 60 is placed in a desired pattern around region 68.
- Ring 66 is one such pattern.
- the thick, elongated material may be a rope or cord and may be of cotton, hemp or synthetic material.
- the ends of member 60 are sewn together at 62 to form ring 66.
- the ring causes top sheet 10 of stretch fabric to bulge above disk 64.
- the rear sheet 12 which does not stretch, supports the ring so that the bulge extends primarily from the front sheet.
- ring 66 protrudes outward making it appear as if it were the skeletal structure surrounding an eye.
- the inset portion 68 corresponds to the way in which the eye is inset from the protruding skeletal structure of the face.
- a ring-like member that would be similar to member 60 in its sewn-together ring shape 66 of Figures 3 and 4.
- the fuser disk would be placed in the ring between the two sheets 10 and 12. Fusing would next take place, but in this modification, fusing is made more difficult.
- the back head piece 48 ( Figure 5) is made of a single piece of material cut into an oval or elliptical shape. Normally, back head piece 48 will be slightly smaller than front and rear pieces 10 and 12 for a smooth chin formation. An elliptically shaped piece of embroidery canvas 52 or other rigid yet flexible material is placed in cavity 50 for internal mechanical support for the face which counters the tendency of such faces to flatten and to lose their life-like and highly contoured appearance. Cavity 50 is then filled with soft material 54 such as down, cotton or synthetic fiberfill until head cavity 50 is filled to the desired firmness. Lastly, head cavity 50 is closed by finishing the stitching along the top portion of the periphery of the back head piece 48 and the front and rear pieces 10 and 12 ( Figure 5 ). Much of the stitching of the back piece 48 to the front and rear face pieces 10 and 12 takes place with head cavity 50 inside-out so that the stiches and the seam allowances are hidden within the dolls head.
- the doll head After the doll head is completed as described, it can be decorated by further painting eye lashes and eyebrows.
- a wig or a hat normally is added to the head. The wig covers the seams that attach back head piece to front and rear pieces. The head is then attached to the rest of the doll body.
