Description

Gelenk joint
Die Erfindung betrifft ein Gelenk zum Festlegen von beweg¬ baren Elementen an einem Puppentorus, insbesondere von Puppenarmen an einem Oberteil.The invention relates to a joint for fixing movable elements on a doll's torus, in particular doll arms on an upper part.
Puppen sind in vielfältiger Form und Ausführung bekannt. Im vorliegenden Fall handelt es sich vor allem um äußerst hochwertige Puppen, welche nicht nur vom Design sondern auch vom verwendeten Material her außerordentlich wertvoll sind. Diese Puppen sollen so lebensecht wie -möglich sein, wobei sie zum Teil eine Größe aufweisen, die der eigentli- chen Lebensgröße entspricht. Jeder Puppentyp wird nur in einer geringen Anzahl gefertigt und besteht meist aus einem besonderen, körpernahen Kunststoff, wie einem Vinyl. Sie werden in speziellen Formen druckgeformt .Dolls are known in many forms and designs. In the present case, it is primarily extremely high-quality dolls, which are extremely valuable not only from the design but also from the material used. These dolls should be as lifelike as possible, some of them having a size that corresponds to the actual life size. Each type of doll is only produced in small numbers and usually consists of a special, close-fitting plastic, such as a vinyl. They are pressure molded in special forms.
Für die Verbindung der einzelnen bewegbaren Elemente, wie Kopf, Arme und Beine sind Kupplungsteile (EP-A-0 087 567) bekannt, die jedoch lediglich eine Drehung der bewegbaren Elemente zulassen. Hierdurch fehlt eine lebensechte Dar¬ stellung.Coupling parts (EP-A-0 087 567) are known for the connection of the individual movable elements, such as the head, arms and legs, but they only rotate the movable parts Allow items. As a result, a lifelike representation is missing.
Aus der DE-OS 40 37 962 ist ein weiteres Verbindungsstück bekannt, welches aus einem textilen Werkstoff besteht, das mit Füllstoff gefüllt wird. Dadurch läßt sich zwar jedes Glied einer Puppe in eine lebensechte Stellung bringen, diese kann jedoch nicht ohne Unterstützung eingehalten werden.Another connecting piece is known from DE-OS 40 37 962, which consists of a textile material that is filled with filler. This means that every limb of a doll can be brought into a lifelike position, but this cannot be maintained without support.
Aufgabe der vorliegenden Erfindung ist es, daß bewegbare Elemente der Puppe dauerhaft in eine gewünschte Position gebracht werden können, die möglichst lebensecht ist.The object of the present invention is that movable elements of the doll can be brought permanently into a desired position that is as lifelike as possible.
Zur Lösung dieser Aufgabe führt, daß ein Drehteil in den Puppentorus, insbesondere das Oberteil, und ein Einsatz- drehteil in das bewegbare Element, insbesondere den Puppen¬ arm, eingesetzt und beide Drehteile gelenkartig miteinander verbunden sind.To achieve this object, a rotating part is inserted into the doll's barrel, in particular the upper part, and an insert rotating part is inserted into the movable element, in particular the doll's arm, and both rotating parts are connected to one another in an articulated manner.
Dieses erfindungsgemäße Gelenk gestattet eine weitaus grö¬ ßere Positionsmöglichkeit der bewegbaren Elemente von Puppen. Jede lebensechte Position ist erreichbar.This joint according to the invention permits a far greater positional possibility for the movable elements of dolls. Every lifelike position can be reached.
Bevorzugt besteht die gelenkartige Verbindung der beiden Drehteile aus einem Gabelgelenk, wobei an einem Drehteil zwei Laschen vorgesehen sind, die einen Schlitz ausbilden, in dem eine Zunge des Einsatzteils eingreift'. Laschen und Zungen sind über einen Stift oder eine Hülse miteinander verbunden, wobei diese Hülse in entsprechende Bohrungen in den Laschen bzw. der Zunge eingesetzt wird. Danach erfolgt beidends ein Aufweiten der Hülsenenden, sodaß die Laschen und die Zungen miteinander verspannt werden. Hierdurch er¬ gibt sich eine Reibung zwischen Zunge und Laschen, sodaß zum Verstellen der Arme diese Reibung überwunden werden muß. Dies gewährleistet, daß Arme in einer gewünschten Position verbleiben. Auf die Laschen folgt eine Scheibe, darauf ein Ring, darauf ein Drehkonus, an den dann eine Innenscheibe anschließt. Alle Elemente haben einen aufeinander abgestimmten Durch¬ messer, wobei der Durchmesser der Scheibe am größten ist. Es folgt dann der Durchmesser des Ringes und dann der Durchmesser der Innenscheibe. Der Drehkonus hat den gering¬ sten Durchmesser, da er in Gebrauchslage in einem Einsatz- loch des Puppentorus sitzt. Hierbei ist das Einsatzloch so ausgebildet, daß es ebenfalls wieder reibschlüssig den Drehkonus umgibt, sodaß zum Verdrehen mit Kraft diese Rei¬ bung überwunden werden muß. Die Reibschlüssigkeit trägt da¬ mit ebenfalls zur bleibenden Positionierung der bewegbaren Elemente bei.Preferably, the articulated connection of the two rotating parts of a fork joint, in which two lugs are provided on a rotating part, which form a slot in which engages a tongue of the insert part '. Tabs and tongues are connected to one another via a pin or a sleeve, this sleeve being inserted into corresponding bores in the tabs or the tongue. This is followed by a widening of the sleeve ends at both ends, so that the tabs and the tongues are clamped together. This results in friction between the tongue and the tabs, so that this friction must be overcome in order to adjust the arms. This ensures that arms remain in a desired position. A disk follows the tabs, then a ring, then a rotating cone, to which an inner disk then connects. All elements have a coordinated diameter, the diameter of the disk being the largest. Then follows the diameter of the ring and then the diameter of the inner disc. The rotating cone has the smallest diameter, since in the position of use it sits in an insertion hole of the doll's torus. In this case, the insert hole is designed in such a way that it also surrounds the rotary cone again in a friction-locked manner, so that this friction must be overcome in order to rotate with force. The frictional engagement thus also contributes to the permanent positioning of the movable elements.
Ebenso schließt an die Zunge eine Scheibe, an diese ein Konus und an diese eine Innenscheibe an. Die Scheibe weist einen größeren Durchmesser auf als die Innenscheibe, da sie von außen dem bewegbaren Element anliegt. Der Konus sitzt in einem Einsatzloch in dem bewegbaren Element und wird dort ebenfalls, wie oben beschrieben, reibschlüssig gehal¬ ten.Likewise, a disc connects to the tongue, a cone to this and an inner disc to this. The disc has a larger diameter than the inner disc, since it lies against the movable element from the outside. The cone is seated in an insert hole in the movable element and is also held there by friction, as described above.
Drehteil und Einsatzdrehteil sind bevorzugt jeweils ein¬ stückig aus Kunststoff hergestellt. Zum Einsetzen in den Puppentorus bzw. in das bewegbare Element wird zumindest der Bereich um das jeweilige Einsatzloch erwärmt, wodurch der Kunststoff weich gemacht wird.The turned part and the inserted turned part are preferably made in one piece from plastic. For insertion in the doll's torus or in the movable element, at least the area around the respective insertion hole is heated, whereby the plastic is softened.
Das erfindungsgemäße Gelenk bietet sich vor allem zur Ver- bindung der Puppenarme mit einem Oberteil an. Genauso ist es aber auch verwendbar für die Verbindung von Beinen oder Beinteilen mit dem Puppentorus und ebenso auch, was aber in selteneren Fällen passieren dürfte, für einen Kopf, sodaß hier nicht nur ein Drehen des Kopfes, sondern auch ein Nicken möglich wäre. In einem bevorzugten Ausführungsbeispiel wird das Gelenk in Gebrauchslage von einer textilen Hülle überdeckt. Diese soll, wie in der DE-OS 40 37 962 beschrieben, festgelegt werden, indem Bänder in entsprechende Ringnuten des beweg¬ baren Elementes bzw. des Puppentorus eingreifen. The joint according to the invention is particularly suitable for connecting the doll arms to an upper part. However, it can also be used for connecting legs or leg parts to the doll's torus and also, which should happen in rare cases, for a head, so that not only a turning of the head but also a nod would be possible here. In a preferred embodiment, the joint is covered by a textile cover in the position of use. As described in DE-OS 40 37 962, this is to be determined by strips engaging in corresponding annular grooves in the movable element or the doll's torus.
Weitere Vorteile, Merkmale und Einzelheiten der Erfindung ergeben sich aus der nachfolgenden Beschreibung bevorzugter Ausführungsbeispiele sowie anhand der Zeichnung; diese zeigt inFurther advantages, features and details of the invention result from the following description of preferred exemplary embodiments and from the drawing; this shows in
Figur 1 eine Draufsicht auf einen Teil eines Puppentorus;Figure 1 is a plan view of part of a doll's torus;
Figur 2 eine Draufsicht auf ein erfindungsgemäßes Gelenk;Figure 2 is a plan view of an inventive joint;
Figur 3 eine Draufsicht auf das Gelenk gemäß Figur 2 um 90° gedreht .Figure 3 is a plan view of the joint according to Figure 2 rotated by 90 °.
In Figur 1 ist von einem Puppentorus ein Oberteil 1 ge¬ zeigt, an dem über jeweils ein Gelenk 2.1 und 2.2 ein Arm 3.1 und 3.2 festgelegt ist.In FIG. 1, an upper part 1 of a doll's torus is shown, on which an arm 3.1 and 3.2 is fixed via a joint 2.1 and 2.2, respectively.
Das Gelenk 2 besteht gemäß den Figuren 2 und 3 aus zwei Teilen. Ein Drehteil 4 dient zum Einsetzen in einen Ober¬ armstumpf 5 des Oberteils 1, während ein Einsatzdrehteil 6 in einen Oberarm 7 eingesetzt wird. Drehteil 4 und Einsatz- drehteil 6 sind gabelgelenkartig miteinander verbunden. Im vorliegenden Ausführungsbeispiel bilden zwei Laschen 8.1 und 8.2 einen Schlitz 9, in den eine Zunge 10 des Einsatz- drehteiles 6 eingreift. Die Laschen 8.1 und 8.2 sowie die Zunge 10 sind über einen Stift 11 miteinander verbunden, der eine Drehachse bildet. Bevorzugt ist der Stift 11 noch beidends aufgeweitet, sodaß er in den entsprechenden Boh¬ rungen in den Laschen 8.1 und 8.2 sowie in -der Zunge 10 gehalten ist. Ferner werden durch die beidseitigen Aufwei- tungen die Elemente des Gabelgelenkes so gegeneinander ver¬ spannt, daß die Zunge 10 in dem Schlitz 9 schwer drehbar gehalten ist. Dies gewährleistet, daß ein Arm 3.1 und 3.2 nicht ohne weiteres aus einer gewünschten Lage fallen kann.The joint 2 consists of two parts according to Figures 2 and 3. A rotating part 4 is used for insertion into an upper arm stump 5 of the upper part 1, while an insert rotating part 6 is inserted into an upper arm 7. The rotating part 4 and insert rotating part 6 are connected to one another like a fork joint. In the present exemplary embodiment, two tabs 8.1 and 8.2 form a slot 9 into which a tongue 10 of the insert rotating part 6 engages. The tabs 8.1 and 8.2 and the tongue 10 are connected to one another via a pin 11, which forms an axis of rotation. The pin 11 is preferably widened on both sides, so that it is held in the corresponding holes in the tabs 8.1 and 8.2 and in the tongue 10. Furthermore, due to the expansion on both sides, the elements of the fork joint are braced against one another in such a way that the tongue 10 is held in the slot 9 with difficulty rotating. This ensures that an arm 3.1 and 3.2 cannot easily fall out of a desired position.
Anstelle des Stiftes 11 kann auch eine Hülse vorgesehen sein, deren Enden jeweils nach dem Einsetzen aufgeweitet sind. An die Zunge 10 schließt sich eine Scheibe 12 an, welche über einen Konus 13 mit einer Innenscheibe 14 verbunden ist. Scheibe 12 weist einen Durchmesser d^ auf, der etwas größer als der Durchmesser U2 der Innenscheibe ist.Instead of the pin 11, a sleeve can also be provided, the ends of which are widened after insertion. A disc 12 adjoins the tongue 10 and is connected to an inner disc 14 via a cone 13. Disc 12 has a diameter d ^ which is slightly larger than the diameter U2 of the inner disc.
Auch an die Laschen 8.1 und 8.2 schließt eine Abstützung 15 an, die aus einer Scheibe 16 und einem Ring 17 besteht. Auf den Ring 17 folgt ein Drehkonus 18 und auf diesen wiederum eine Innenscheibe 19. Ein Durchmesser d3 der Scheibe 16 ist größer als ein Durchmesser d4 des Ringes 17. Dieser ist wiederum größer als ein Druchmesser d5 der Innenscheibe 19.A support 15, which consists of a disk 16 and a ring 17, also adjoins the tabs 8.1 and 8.2. The ring 17 is followed by a rotating cone 18 and this in turn is followed by an inner disk 19. A diameter d 3 of the disk 16 is larger than a diameter d4 of the ring 17. This in turn is larger than a diameter d5 of the inner disk 19.
Die Funktionsweise der vorliegenden Erfindung ist folgende:The operation of the present invention is as follows:
Drehteil 4 und Einsatzdrehteil 6 sind bevorzugt einstückig aus Kunststoff hergestellt und über den Stift 11 bzw. die oben erwähnte Metallhülse miteinander gabelgelenkartig ver¬ bunden. Zum Einsetzen der Drehteile 4 bzw. Einsatzdrehteile 6 in den jeweiligen Oberarmstumpf 5 bzw. den Oberarm 7 wer- den Oberarmstumpf 5 bzw. Oberarm 7 vor allem im Bereich ei¬ nes nicht näher gezeigten Einsatzloches weichgemacht. Hier¬ durch kann die jeweilige Innenscheibe 14 bzw. 19 besser in das Einsatzloch eingeschoben werden, sodaß in diesem Ein¬ satzloch danach der jeweilige Konus 13 bzw. Drehkonus 18 sitzt. Dabei ist ein Durchmesser des Einsatzloches so gewählt, daß sich ein Rand des Einsatzloches dem Konus 13 bzw. Drehkonus 18 eng anschmiegt, sodaß das jeweilige Dreh¬ teil 4 bzw. Einsatzdrehteil 6 schwer drehbar in dem Einsatzloch sitzt. Auch hierdurch wird eine unbeabsichtigte Bewegung der Arme 3.1 bzw. 3.2 vermieden.Rotating part 4 and insert rotating part 6 are preferably made in one piece from plastic and are connected to one another in the manner of a fork joint via pin 11 or the above-mentioned metal sleeve. To insert the rotating parts 4 or insert rotating parts 6 into the respective upper arm stump 5 or upper arm 7, upper arm stump 5 or upper arm 7 are softened, especially in the region of an insert hole (not shown in more detail). As a result, the respective inner disk 14 or 19 can be better inserted into the insertion hole, so that the respective cone 13 or rotating cone 18 then sits in this insertion hole. A diameter of the insert hole is chosen so that an edge of the insert hole closely conforms to the cone 13 or rotating cone 18, so that the respective rotating part 4 or insert rotating part 6 sits in the insert hole with difficulty rotating. This also prevents unintentional movement of the arms 3.1 or 3.2.
Während in den Oberarm 7 eine Ringnut 20 eingeformt ist, bildet der Oberarmstumpf 5, der Ring 17 und die Scheibe 16 eine weitere Ringnut 21, wobei in den Ringnuten 20 und 21 ein Band als Bestandteil einer nicht näher gezeigten texti¬ len Hülle festgelegt werden kann, welche das Gelenk 2 um¬ hüllt. Eine derartige Hülle ist in der DE-OS 40 37 962 beschrieben, wobei hier ausdrücklich auf diese SchriftWhile an annular groove 20 is formed in the upper arm 7, the upper arm stump 5, the ring 17 and the disk 16 form a further annular groove 21, it being possible for a band to be fixed in the annular grooves 20 and 21 as part of a textile sheath (not shown in more detail) , which envelops the joint 2. Such an envelope is in DE-OS 40 37 962 described, here expressly on this document
Bezug genommen wird. Anstelle oder zusätzlich zu dem dort beschriebenen Füllstoff ist im vorliegenden Fall das Gelenk 2 vorgesehen. Reference is made. Instead of or in addition to the filler described there, the joint 2 is provided in the present case.
