DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to dolls such as mascots and stuffed animals.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Heretofore, in dolls such as mascots and stuffed animals, attempts have been made to make the dolls move and to increase their petity, in addition to the appearance of the dolls. As a method for this, a method is generally used in which a doll is operated by having a power supply therein and driving a motor, a gear, or the like in response to an input from a sensor or the like.

[0003]

However, the above-mentioned doll has a complicated structure, is complicated and expensive to assemble, and the mechanical operation of the doll is different from the natural operation. In addition, machinery such as motors and gears for operation are mainly made of metal, and since a power supply for driving is required, the doll is heavy and often used as a doll. It is not suitable for work and has a drawback that the operator loses interest in the doll.

It is an object of the present invention to provide a doll which has a more petty character by performing a natural operation with a light and simple internal structure in addition to the appearance of the doll as a pet. is there.

[0005]

In order to achieve the above object, a representative configuration of the present invention is a doll having a head and a torso, and having a flexible outer skin, wherein the doll has a body. A frame arranged inside, a slide member movable vertically along the frame, and on both sides of the frame,
An operating lever that is mounted under the side of the body so as to be movable in the left-right direction, moves the slide member in accordance with this operation, and at least one end is divided into three branches, and each end is a left cheek and a mouth. An arm member which is fixed to the right cheek portion and partially moves in link with the slide member with the movement of the slide member. It is characterized by the appearance and disappearance of Ekbo in the part.

[0006]

(First Embodiment) A doll according to the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. 1 is an external perspective view of the present invention, FIG. 2 is a front view before and after operation of an operating section of the present invention, FIG. 3 is a rear perspective view showing an internal structure of a head of the present invention, and FIG. 4 is an operating section of the present invention. It is a side view before and after the operation of.

As shown in FIG. 1, a doll body 1 of the present invention is provided.
Has a head 2 and a torso 3, and the head 2 has a mouth 4 and a cheek 5. When the doll according to the present invention is not operated, the mouth 4 is open as shown in FIG. Here, the operator grips the torso 3,
When the thumb and another finger press the arm 3b of the body 3 of the doll body 1, the mouth 4 closes and the ecbo appears on the cheek 5 as shown in FIG. Hereinafter, the structure of the operation mechanism will be described in detail.

As shown in FIG. 2, an operating mechanism 9 is provided inside the doll main body 1 so that the doll can operate. The actuating mechanism 9 includes a frame 10 serving as a basis of the entire actuating mechanism 9 and supporting each member, a sliding member 11 slidably provided at the center of the frame 10, and a frame.
It comprises an L-type operating lever 12 provided to be movable in the left-right direction of 10 and an arm member 20 (see FIG. 4) having one end linked to the slide member 11.

The frame 10 is mainly housed in the body 3, and the upper portion of the slide member 11 projects into the head 2. The operating lever 12 is located under the trunk 3.
b. As shown in FIG. 3, the arm member 20 has a first branch 20a, a second branch 20b,
Branch to 20c, each branch so that the whole is horizontal
20a, 20b, and 20c are attached to the back of the lower lip 4a of the mouth 4 and the back of the left and right cheeks 5 (the right cheek 5a and the left cheek 5b). Then, the first branch 20a is connected to the slide member.
The slide member 11 and the arm member 20 are linked by passing through the elongated hole 11c of the eleventh embodiment.

The outer skins 2a, 3a of the head 2 and the trunk 3
Is formed of a soft and flexible synthetic resin,
It is deformed as the arm member 20 moves. Also, the guide shaft
The 10b and the slide shaft 11a have urging means such as a coil spring (not shown), and the slide member 11 is urged upward.

Next, the operation of the operating mechanism 9 will be described.
When the operator presses the armpit 3b of the doll body 1, the pressing portion 12a of the operating lever 12 is pressed. When the pressing portion 12a is pressed, the operating lever 12 rotates about the shaft 13. A hole 12b provided at the end opposite to the pressing portion 12a of the L-shaped operating lever 12 is provided with a slide shaft 11a provided at the lower portion of the slide member 11 and a slide hole 10a provided at the center of the frame 10. And move it down.

When the slide member 11 moves downward, the guide hole 11b provided in the upper portion of the slide member 11
By being guided along the guide shaft 10b provided in the frame 10, the frame 10 does not come off from the central portion. Slide member 11
Is moved downward, the elongated hole 11c provided at the upper end of the slide member 11 can be moved downward.

When the operator releases his / her hand from the armpit 3b of the doll body 1, the slide shaft 11a is returned upward by urging means (not shown), and returns from the state of FIG. 2 (b) to the state of FIG. 2 (a). .

The head 2 has the mouth 4 and the cheek 5 as described above. The operation of the doll will be described with reference to FIG. In a normal state (a state in which the armpit is not pressed), FIG.
As shown in (a), the arm member 20 abuts on the lower lip portion 4a and the cheek portion 5 downward from the long hole 11c, opens the mouth portion 4, and keeps the state where no exbos appear on the cheek portion 5.

When the operator presses the armpit 3b, FIG.
As shown in FIG. 3B, the operating lever 12 has the above-described structure.
Is pressed to lower the slide member 11, and the slide member 11
The contact angle with the lower lip portion 4a and the cheek portion 5 of the arm member 20 linked to the arm member 20 changes. The joint X between the first branch 20a and the lower lip 4a, the second branch 20b, the third branch 20c and the cheek 5
Joint Y acts as a fulcrum / working point of the lever and the outer skin 2a of the head 2 is deformed, so that the mouth 4 closes the mouth 4 and the cheek 5 is partially recessed. Ekbo 30 appears.

When the operator releases his hand from the armpit 3b, the slide shaft 11a recovers upward by a biasing means (not shown) (see FIG. 4A). Thereby, the doll body 1 opens the mouth 4 again, and the ecbo disappears from the cheek 5,
That is, the state returns to the normal state.

Since the structure of the operating mechanism 9 is simple, it is preferable that the operating mechanism 9 be made of a lightweight material such as plastic or wood, instead of being heavy like metal.

With the above configuration, in addition to the appearance of a doll as a pet, a natural operation can be performed by a light and simple internal structure.

(Other Embodiments) In the above-described embodiment, the coil spring is described as an example of the urging means for returning the operating lever to the original position. However, the present invention is not limited to this. The same effect can be expected by replacing with a leaf spring or a bamboo shoot spring.

If the outer skin 2a of the head 2 has a sufficient restoring force, such an urging means may be unnecessary.

If the eyelids are opened and closed with respect to the eyes of the doll in accordance with the posture of the doll, the compassion can be further enhanced.

[0022]

As described above, the present invention is characterized in that the mouth is opened and closed by the operation of the operating lever under the arm, and the ecbo appears and disappears on the cheeks. In addition to the appearance of dolls,
By changing the expression of the doll with a light and simple internal structure, it was possible to further enhance the companionship.
