Definitions

  • the invention relates to a knee or elbow joint for playing figures, in particular play dolls, in which the thigh or upper arm is connected to the lower leg or forearm via a ball, which in the containing the longitudinal axis of the elongated pair of links, perpendicular to the pivot axis of the joint extending longitudinal median plane is divided, one hemisphere shell on the thigh or upper arm and the other hemisphere shell on the lower leg or forearm and is held in trough-like joint sockets of the opposite limb and both hemispherical shells are pivotally mounted on the axis against each other.
  • Such a joint is known from DE-A-1 703 214.
  • the upper and lower leg or upper and lower arm are divided in a longitudinal median plane, with a centering piece designed as a receptacle in the hemispherical shell sitting on the thigh or upper arm and in this centering piece on the hemispherical shell sitting on the lower leg or forearm insertable pin are located; both the centering piece and the pin protrude beyond the parting plane.
  • this configuration is disadvantageous in several respects.
  • the mobility of the known joint is very limited or very limited; it can be pivoted from the extended position at best from an angle of about 30 o .
  • a further pivotability could only be achieved by cutting out the edges of the opposite limb adjacent to the hemispherical shells or by giving the spherical bearings a larger clearance, but the joint would then optically represent a purely technical construction that would not match the human model Has more in common and therefore has only a very low play value.
  • the manufacture and assembly of the known joint is very complex and difficult. This is mainly due to the two-part design of the upper and lower legs or the upper and lower arms, which in turn is imperative because of the articulation with the parts projecting beyond the division level (centering piece and pin), because otherwise an assembly would be impossible.
  • the mold costs are very high in the known joint; its assembly also requires considerable effort, especially due to the need for gluing.
  • the known joint is very sensitive to twisting, in particular, of the lower leg or forearm about the longitudinal axis of the leg or arm, or to bending about an axis perpendicular to the horizontal joint axis and to the longitudinal axis of the leg or arm. Such stresses very easily lead to the destruction of the joint, making the entire play doll unusable.
  • the invention has for its object to provide a knee or elbow joint for play figures, especially play dolls, which a complete, i.e. Unrestricted mobility of the legs and arms is guaranteed, optically approximates as closely as possible to the natural appearance of a human knee or elbow joint, enables manufacture and assembly that is considerably simplified compared to the known designs, and increases the durability of the game figure.
  • the one-piece design according to a simplifies production and lowers mold costs; in connection with the feature according to b) it creates a much easier assembly than in the known joint.
  • the unrestricted mobility of the legs and arms as well as the durability of the joint is guaranteed by the feature according to c); the movement of the articulated limbs is practically infinitely possible and can be stopped in any angular position, whereupon the limbs remain in this position.
  • the avoidance of deeply cut out areas or edges arranged in front of each other creates a joint that is very close to the human model.
  • the two hemispherical shells are each closed by an inner wall, the inner wall of the one hemispherical shell having a shoulder or recess on the circumference, into which a complementary projection of the inner wall of the other hemisphere shell engages; it is advisable to connect the heel or projection to the outside of the inner wall using a slope. In this way, a gap that is conceivable when exposed to stress is avoided on the contact surface of the two hemispherical shells; the bevel facilitates the removal of limbs.
  • the inner walls of both hemispherical shells have a central passage for the tubular rivet, with a hole being provided at the location of the two lateral spherical poles, into which a bushing is inserted, penetrated by the tubular rivet and with their free end is supported against the inner wall.
  • the tubular rivet serves to stabilize the joint by holding the two hemispherical shells against each other; this effect is further supported by the two bushings, since they press against the inside of the two inner walls and press them against each other.
  • a centering disk is inserted between the hemispherical shells, which have a flange on the inner circumference with an outer surface inclined from the outside inward, which has a ring flange projecting at right angles on both sides and is continued on the outside in the form of a tip .
  • the centering disk has a central passage for the tubular rivet, a sleeve coaxial with its central passage being provided on each side of the centering disk, into which a bushing guiding the tubular rivet can be inserted, which has a bore on the pole side penetrates in the hemisphere shell and is supported with its free end against the centering disk.
  • each hemisphere shell 3a, 3b is a trough-like joint socket 4a or 4b, in which the hemisphere shell 3b or 3a of the other leg engages.
  • the hemispherical shells 3a, 3b are in the region of their embodiment in FIGS. 4 and 5 circular surfaces facing each other are formed differently.
  • the peripheral edge region of the hemispherical shells 3a, 3b is provided with an inward circumferential flange 5a, 5b, while in the exemplary embodiment in FIG. 5 both hemispherical shells 3a, 3b are closed by an inner wall 6a, 6b.
  • a centering disk 7 is held by the flanges 5a, 5b.
  • This centering disk 7 is provided on the circumference with an annular flange 8 projecting at right angles on both sides, by means of which it is supported against the flanges 5a, 5b of the hemispherical shells 3a, 3b.
  • a tip 9 is formed, which protrudes into a wedge-like gap which tapers out between the flanges 5a, 5b.
  • the centering disk 7 is provided with a passage 10 through which a tubular rivet 11 is guided, which opens into bores 12a, 12b of the hemispherical shells 3a, 3b on the pole side.
  • a tubular rivet 11 is guided, which opens into bores 12a, 12b of the hemispherical shells 3a, 3b on the pole side.
  • a circumferential flange not shown in the drawing, which bears against a step of the bores 12a , 12b is applied; the bushes 13a, 13b are partially enclosed by a sleeve 14a, 14b seated on the centering disk 7.
  • the flanges of the tubular rivets 11 and the outwardly directed end faces of the bushes 13a, 13b are covered by plug-in caps 15a, 15b.
  • FIG. 5 agrees with that 4 with respect to the passage 10, the tubular rivets 11, the bushes 13a, 13b and the plug-in caps 15a, 15b, wherein at most the bushes 13a, 13b can have a greater length.
  • the centering disk 7 is, however, replaced by the inner walls 6a, 6b, of which the inner wall 6a has a projection 16 with a bevel 17a on the circumference and the inner wall 6b has a corresponding shoulder or recess 18 on the circumference with a bevel 17b.
