[Detailed description of the device]

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention This invention relates to an operating mechanism of a doll used for a mechanical clock and the like.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art As an operation mechanism of a doll conventionally used in a timepiece or the like, a doll's hand is engaged with a handle of a rotating handle, and at first glance the doll's arm rotates the handle as the drive-side handle rotates. There was something that behaves like.

[0003]

The arm of such a doll is simply rotatably fitted into the doll body without any movement of the doll body. Therefore, if the doll is small, it does not feel strange, but if the doll is large, it feels strange. The purpose of this bill is to provide a moving mechanism for a doll that has a simple structure and does not cause the upper body of the doll to move.

[0004]

Therefore, in the present invention, a doll operation mechanism for engaging a handle of a rotating body that rotates at a predetermined speed with a hand of a doll fixed to an outer case to cause the doll to perform a predetermined operation. In, the doll is composed of an upper body and a lower body, and both ends of a link for connecting the upper body and the lower body of the doll are ball-shaped engaging portions, and a holding portion loosely fitted to the engaging portion is the upper body. Each one was placed on the lower body.

[0005]

In the present invention, both ends of the link for connecting the upper body and the lower body of the doll are ball-shaped engaging portions, and the holding portions that are loosely fitted to the engaging portions are provided on the upper body and the lower body, respectively. , The upper body of the doll moves with the rotation of the handle. Moreover, since the engaging portions are spherical, the load is extremely small in any direction.

[0006]

Embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. The doll 2 according to the present invention includes an upper half 4 and a lower half 6
The lower body 6 is fixed to the base 10 of the outer case 8. A protrusion 14 is formed on the bottom portion 12 of the lower body 6, and is press-fitted and fixed in a through hole 16 formed in the base 10.

Both the upper half body 4 and the lower half body 6 have a substantially hollow shape, and holding portions 18 and 20 according to the present invention are formed in the central portion of the upper half body 4 and the upper portion of the lower half body 6. The holding unit 1
Numerals 8 and 20 loosely fit ball-shaped engaging portions provided at both ends of a link, which will be described later, each inner wall 22 and 23 is made into a ball-shaped hollow, and the holding portion 18 has an opening 24 at its lower portion. However, the holding portion 20 has an opening 26 formed in the upper portion.

The link 25 has a ball-shaped engaging portion 2 which can be loosely fitted in a ball-shaped hollow formed in the holding portion at both ends thereof.
8 and 30, and the engaging portions 28 and 30 to the openings 24 and 26.
It is constituted by a connecting portion 32 which is inserted and connected. Three
As shown in the figure, a handle 36 is provided in the arm 34 of the doll 2.
A handle 38 fixed to the arm 38 is inserted, and the handle 38 has a ball-shaped engaging portion 40 formed in the arm 34 in the same manner as the engaging portions 28 and 30. It is loosely fit in. The handle 36 is rotated in a fixed direction by a drive device 42 housed in the outer case 8 via a drive shaft 43, and the upper body 4 of the doll 2 is operated in accordance with the rotation of the handle 36.

Since the upper body 4 has the relationship between the holding portion and the engaging portion as described above, it is controlled by the handle 38 even when the upper body is tilted, but the openings 24 and 26 provided in the holding portions 18 and 20 are It is necessary to have a size that does not regulate the connecting portion 32 within the operating range of the upper body 4, and the lower end portion 44 of the upper body 4
The same applies to the gap between the lower body 6 and. Further, since the holding portion 18 of the upper body 4 minimizes the load on the drive portion 42,
It is desirable to provide it near the center of gravity of the upper body 4.

[0010]

As described above, the doll of the present invention is composed of an upper body and a lower body, and both ends of a link for connecting the upper body and the lower body of the doll are ball-shaped engaging portions.
Since the holding portions that loosely fit with the engaging portions are provided in the upper body and the lower body, respectively, a motion mechanism of the doll that moves the upper body without a feeling of strangeness can be obtained.
