Description

Die Erfindung betrifft einen Puppentorus mit zumindest einem Gelenk zum Festlegen von bewegbaren Elementen, insbesondere von Puppenarmen an einem Oberteil, wobei ein Drehteil des Gelenks in den Puppentorus, insbesondere das Oberteil, und ein Einsatzdrehteil des Gelenks in das bewegbare Element, insbesondere den Puppenarm, eingesetzt und beide Drehteile gelenkartig miteinander verbunden sind.The invention relates to a doll's torus with at least a joint for fixing movable elements, especially of doll arms on an upper part, with a Rotated part of the joint in the doll's torus, in particular the top, and an insert turned part of the joint into that movable element, especially the doll arm, used and both rotating parts are articulated together.

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 eigentlichen 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 The present case is above all extremely high quality dolls, which not only from the design but also extremely valuable in terms of the material used are. These dolls are said to be as lifelike as possible some of which have a size that corresponds to the actual Life size corresponds. Each type of doll is only in a small number and usually consists of one special, close-fitting plastic, such as a vinyl. she 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 oder GB-A-1 372 947) bekannt, die jedoch lediglich eine Drehung der bewegbaren Elemente zulassen. Hierdurch fehlt eine lebensechte Darstellung.For the connection of the individual movable elements, such as The head, arms and legs are coupling parts (EP-A-0 087 567 or GB-A-1 372 947), but only one Allow movable elements to rotate. This is missing a lifelike representation.

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 known, which consists of a textile material that is filled with filler. This allows everyone Bring the limb of a doll into a lifelike position however, this cannot be maintained without support become.

Aus der US-A-2 649 806 sind Glieder für Puppen bekannt, welche in einem Puppenhaus integriert sind. Hierbei wirken scheibenförmige Elemente zusammen, die in Schlitzen eines Körperteiles drehen und durch entsprechende Rastungen in vorbestimmten Lagen festgelegt werden können.Links for dolls are known from US Pat. No. 2,649,806, which are integrated in a doll house. Act here disc-shaped elements put together in slots Turn the body part and by means of corresponding detents predetermined positions can be determined.

Ein Puppenhaus des im oberbegriff des Auspruches 1 beschriebenen Art ist aus der US-A-5 380 233 bekannt. Auch hierbei werden die entsprechenden Drehteile durch Rastungen in entsprechenden Lagen festgelegt. Die Anzahl dieser Lagen ist damit begrenzt.A dollhouse of the type described in the preamble of claim 1 is known from US-A-5 380 233. The corresponding turned parts are also used here Latches in appropriate positions determined. The number these positions are therefore limited.

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 permanently in a desired position can be brought that is as lifelike as possible.

Zur Lösung dieser Aufgabe führt, dass das Drehteil einen Drehkonus und/oder das Einsatzdrehteil einen Konus zwischen jeweils zwei Scheiben aufweist.To solve this problem, the turned part leads one Rotating cone and / or the insert turned part a cone between each has two disks.

Dieses erfindungsgemäße Gelenk gestattet eine weitaus größere Positionsmöglichkeit der bewegbaren Elemente von Puppen. Jede lebensechte Position ist erreichbar. This joint according to the invention allows a much larger one Possibility of positioning 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 ergibt 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.The joint-like connection of the two is preferably made Turned parts from a fork joint, being on a turned part two tabs are provided which form a slot, in which a tongue of the insert engages. Tabs and Tongues are connected to each other via a pin or a sleeve connected, this sleeve in corresponding holes in the tabs or tongue is used. After that is done Both ends widen the sleeve ends so that the tabs and the tongues are tightened together. This gives there is friction between the tongue and tabs, so that to adjust the arms this friction can be overcome got to. This ensures that arms are in a desired position Position remain.

Auf die Laschen folgt eine Scheibe, darauf ein Ring, darauf ein Drehkonus, an den dann eine Innenscheibe anschließt. Alle Elemente haben einen aufeinander abgestimmten Durchmesser, 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 geringsten Durchmesser, da er in Gebrauchslage in einem Einsatzloch des Puppentorus sitzt. Hierbei ist das Einsatzloch so ausgebildet, daß es ebenfalls wieder reibschlüssig den Drehkonus umgibt, sodaß zum Verdrehen mit Kraft diese Reibung überwunden werden muß. Die Reibschlüssigkeit trägt damit ebenfalls zur bleibenden Positionierung der bewegbaren Elemente bei.A disk follows the tabs, then a ring, then a rotating cone, to which an inner disc then connects. All elements have a coordinated diameter, the diameter of the disc being the largest. The diameter of the ring then follows Diameter of the inner disc. The swivel cone has the least Diameter, as it is in the use position in an insert hole of the doll's torus sits. Here is the insert hole trained that it also frictionally the Rotating cone surrounds, so that this friction for turning with force must be overcome. The frictional engagement thus bears also for permanent positioning of the movable Elements at.

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 gehalten. A disc also closes to the tongue Cone and to this an inner disc. The disc points a larger diameter than the inner disc because it from the outside of the movable element. The cone sits in an insert hole in the movable member and will there, as described above, held frictionally.

Der Konus sitzt in einem Einsatzloch in dem bewegbaren Element und wird dort ebenfalls, wie oben beschrieben, reibschlüssig gehalten.A disc also closes to the tongue Cone and to this an inner disc. The disc points a larger diameter than the inner disc because it from the outside of the movable element. The cone sits in an insert hole in the movable member and will there, as described above, held frictionally.

Drehteil und Einsatzdrehteil sind bevorzugt jeweils einstückig 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.Turned part and insert turned part are preferably in one piece made of plastic. For insertion in the Puppet torus or in the movable element is at least the area around the respective insertion hole is heated, whereby the plastic is softened.

Das erfindungsgemäße Gelenk bietet sich vor allem zur Verbindung 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. The joint according to the invention is particularly suitable for connection the doll arms with a top. It is the same but it can also be used for connecting legs or Leg sections with the puppet torus and also what, however, in less likely to happen, for a head, so not just turning your head here, but also one Nodding would be possible.

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 bewegbaren Elementes bzw. des Puppentorus eingreifen. In a preferred embodiment, the joint in Position of use covered by a textile cover. This should, as described in DE-OS 40 37 962, set. be by moving bands in corresponding ring grooves of the movable Intervene in the element or the doll's torus.

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 Bohrungen in den Laschen 8.1 und 8.2 sowie in der Zunge 10 gehalten ist. Ferner werden durch die beidseitigen Aufweitungen die Elemente des Gabelgelenkes so gegeneinander verspannt, 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 according to Figures 2 and 3 Divide. 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. Turned part 4 and insert turned part 6 are interconnected like a fork. in the present embodiment form two tabs 8.1 and 8.2 a slot 9 into which a tongue 10 of the insert turned 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 still preferred expanded at both ends so that it is in the corresponding holes in tabs 8.1 and 8.2 and in tongue 10 is held. Furthermore, the double-sided widenings the elements of the fork joint braced against each other that the tongue 10 in the slot 9 is difficult to rotate is held. This ensures that an arm 3.1 and 3.2 cannot easily fall out of a desired position.
