DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a method for manufacturing a stuffed animal.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art A stuffed toy is made of a bag-shaped head, limbs and the like with an appropriate cloth or the like, and is sewn to a body in a middle state to form a bag of an appropriate shape. After turning over so that the seam allowance is on the inside and putting it on the outside surface, fill the bag with fillings such as panya, kiwata, cotton, urethane, sponge etc. to shape the animal / person, etc. Finishing such as dressing is done.

[0003] That is, the filling of the stuffing into the bag is usually sufficient enough for the stuffed animals such as animals and people to pose such as standing, sitting, sleeping, etc. In the state where no external force is applied to the part or head, that is, in the "display state", the pose is always restored to a fixed pose due to the elasticity of the stuffing present at the base of the limb and the head, and the variety of poses They lack interest in points.
Of course, after sewing the head and limbs in a bag separate from the torso and filling each, sew them in a movable state and connect them through joints like a puppet, you can take a free pose. However, there is a problem that the production cost and labor of the stuffed toy are increased, and there are design restrictions (the cuteness cannot be produced because the bases of the limbs and the head are thinned).

[0004] Further, in order to be able to decorate by hanging as well as decorating with a stuffed toy, for example, a hanging string or a strap is sewn on the head to diversify the display state. However, there is a problem that the time and effort required for sewing a string or a lace are increased, and if the garment is hung for a long period of time, the outer skin (bag) of the stuffed toy is pulled to change the appearance.

[0005]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION Accordingly, an object of the present invention is to provide a stuffed animal which can be enjoyed in various poses, enjoy various display states and give a cute impression, while reducing the labor and cost of manufacturing. It is an object of the present invention to provide a method for manufacturing a stuffed toy.

[0006]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention provides a head, a torso,
In the method of manufacturing a stuffed animal in which the limbs are sewn in the middle surface state to form a single bag, which is turned over to the outer surface state and filled with stuffing, the torso part is filled or unfilled in the part from the head. The filling is partially filled to form the part, the limbs are filled with pellets having a higher specific gravity than the head and torso, and the filling of the head and / or torso is performed. Prior to filling, a collar body made of an integral body having a smaller diameter than the filled head and torso is inserted into a narrowed portion between the head and the torso, and then to the torso and / or the head. It is characterized by filling with fillings. Since the stuffed toy made by this manufacturing method has no or virtually no elasticity of the stuffing in the unfilled part or the coarsely-filled part, it becomes a so-called neckless state, and the whole stuffed animal is `` sticky '' without force. Gives an "impression" and can produce cuteness. In addition, not only the head but also the limbs move freely, prone, supine,
Of course, you can take a variety of poses such as lying down, sitting, and even putting your chin on your hands and feet,
Since the limbs are relatively heavier than the head and the torso, for example, the base of the hands (armpits) can be decorated with the limbs hooked on a stick, a string, the upper edge of a wall, or the like. This manufacturing method is a procedure that is almost the same as the conventional stuffed toy, and there is no need to sew the limbs or the head movably or to connect them via joints, so that the labor and cost of manufacturing hardly increase. . The “pellet-like material” is not particularly limited in shape and material, and is formed of resin, metal, wood, or the like formed in a spherical shape, a columnar shape, a cubic shape, or the like.
It shall include those made of glass or the like.

The above-mentioned stuffed toy includes a collar or a necklace such as a necklace which also hangs at a constricted portion between the head and the torso (hereinafter referred to as “neck” for convenience). The display state can be further diversified because the body is provided. That is, in the above-described manufacturing method, before filling the head and / or the trunk with the filling, the collar body made of an integral body having a smaller diameter than the filled head and the trunk is inserted into the neck, and then the trunk and the trunk are filled. By filling the head with a padding, the collar body is combined so as not to fall off the head or the torso. When manufactured in this way, the collar body does not come off basically after the stuffed toy is completed, preventing accidental swallowing of infants, and there is no need to sew a string or strap for hanging display. It is more convenient because it does not require much work. Further, even if the display is suspended and displayed for a long period of time, there is no inconvenience that only the outer skin is pulled and the appearance changes. In addition, the above-mentioned "integral collar body" includes a ring ring, a band ring, a chain ring, and a string ring made of a resin or metal material. We say thing which cannot separate "ring".

When the width of the seam allowance between the torso and the limbs is made wider and the bag is turned upside down on the outer surface,
It is even more preferable that the seam allowance at this portion suppresses the passage of the pellet-like material to the body. The above width size is
Desirably, it is better to be at least half the diameter of the base of the limb, but in practice, if the limb is designed to be slightly tapered, the base of the limb becomes a bottleneck and the passage of pellets is suppressed. It may be less than half the diameter of the base of the limb.

If the bases of the limbs are formed relatively thin as described above and the seam allowance is set wide, the so-called "reversing operation", in which the limbs are changed from the middle surface state to the outer surface state, becomes extremely difficult. However, in the present invention, this is solved by the following method. That is, the bottom end portions of the limbs in the middle state are supported from the inside via, for example, a stand composed of a pedestal and a plug mounted on the pedestal, and the outside of the bottom end portion is, for example, a bar-shaped holding member. The entire sack is moved toward the holder while the limb is being held down, and the limbs are brought to the outside state. By doing this, the bottom end of the limb in the middle front state is attached from the outside with a stick etc. and pushed to the root side, or forceps are inserted into the limb and the bottom end part is pulled out compared to the conventional reversing work ,
Workability is much improved.

[0010] In addition, since the base of the limb is relatively narrow, the pellets are ejected with the air rather than filling the pellets with a funnel. The workability is greatly improved when the nozzle tube to be inserted is inserted into the limb for filling. In this case, filling the filling into the torso first, inserting the nozzle tube into the limb so as to separate the filling from the torso, and filling the pellet-like material, the stuffing of the torso will fill the base of the limb. It is more desirable because the pellet-like material does not spill to the body side when the nozzle tube is pulled out when the nozzle tube is pulled out. For example, in the case of four-legged animals such as dogs and cats, the hind legs of the limbs are often formed thicker than the front legs, and it is difficult to prevent the pellets from falling off. Is more effective.

BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a stuffed animal manufacturing method according to the present invention. First, raise the pattern shown in Fig. 1 according to the design of the stuffed animal (in this example, a dog-shaped animal is used, but various designs such as "babies in diapers" are possible). After making a punching die, an appropriate cloth is piled up and punched out, and a partial outer skin of the stuffed animal is cut. These parts are partially sewn to parts such as the head 1, the forefoot part 2 and the hindfoot part 3 as the limbs, the ear part 4, the tail part 5, etc., and then, as shown in FIG. Are sewn together to form one bag 7. That is, in this process, the seam allowance of each part exists outside the bag 7, and the ears 4 and the tail 5 exist inside the bag 7. In the figure, “8” is an opening for filling the bag 7.

Next, the bag 7 in the inside front state is turned over to the outside state. Here, the work of turning the front foot 2 and the rear foot 3 is performed according to the procedure shown in FIG. First, the forefoot part 2 is put through the opening 8 on the stand 9 composed of the pedestal 9a and the insertion tube 9b that is erected on the pedestal 9 and whose tip is cut obliquely.
The sole 2a, which is the bottom end of the forefoot portion 2, is supported from the inside by the tip of the insertion tube 9b (A). Then, one end of the rod-shaped holding member 10 is abutted against the tip of the insertion tube 9b to press the sole 2a from the outside (B). Next, the trunk 6 and the base of the forefoot 2 are pulled up to move the entire bag 7 toward the holding tool 10 (C). In addition, holding tool 1
The thickness of 0 is slightly larger than the diameter of the inner hole of the insertion tube 9 and one end thereof is slightly rounded, so that the end surfaces can be easily positioned when the end surface of the insertion tube 9 is abutted.

Next, after the reversing operation is completed, the head 1 of the bag body 7 in the outer surface state is subjected to eyes and nose, and as shown in FIG.
A ring 11 (collar body) molded integrally with resin is inserted from the head 1 or the torso 6, and a stuffed neck portion (the head 1 and the torso 6) is inserted.
At the squeezed part).

Next, as shown in FIG. 5, a pipe-shaped nozzle 12 is inserted into the head 1, and a pan 13 as a filling is fed together with air, and is densely filled so as to have appropriate elasticity. Similarly, the panner 13 is filled only in the lower portion of the body 6 in the drawing. The head 1 and the torso 6 are larger than the inner diameter of the ring 11 due to the filling of the panner 13, and the ring 11 is basically in a state in which it does not come off the bag 7.

Next, as shown in FIG. 6, the pipe-shaped nozzle pipe 14 is pushed into the rear leg 3 by pressing the panner 13 of the body 6, and a resin pellet 15 as a pellet is fed together with air. Similarly, resin pellets 15 are fed into the forefoot 2 together with air, and then the opening 8 is sutured.

[0016] After that, eye pulling (work to make the periphery of the eyes hollow with a thread to create the appearance of the stuffed toy), dictation (work to draw the mouth with the thread), hair out (the hair that has fallen sideways between the seams) Then, if necessary, dressing, hats, ribbons, and small articles are sewn to complete the stuffed toy 16 as shown in FIG. The figure also shows the filling state of the panner 13 and the resin pellets 15. An unfilled part 17 is formed in the upper part (chest) of the trunk 6 in the figure, and in this part, the unfilled part 17 is formed. Since there is no elastic force, the head 1 can move freely with respect to the trunk 6.

FIG. 8 schematically shows a cross section taken along line AA of FIG. Seam allowance 19 located at the base 18 of the forefoot 2
The width size of (FIGS. 1 and 2) is the base portion 1 of the forefoot 2
The inner diameter of the resin pellet 15 is approximately half of the inner diameter, and prevents the resin pellet 15 from moving to the unfilled portion 17. Also,
The seam allowance at the base of the rear foot 3 is also the same width as that of the front foot 2, but since the panner 13 presses the base of the rear foot 3, the inner diameter of the base of the rear foot 3 Is slightly thicker than the forefoot 2 and the resin pellet 1 on the hindfoot 3 even if the seam allowance at the base is not completely closed.
5 does not move to the trunk 6.

As is clear from FIGS. 7 and 8, a densely packed panner 13 does not continuously exist at the connection portion between the forefoot portion 2 and the rear foot portion 3 and the trunk portion 6, and this portion is not provided. Since the elastic force of the panner 13 does not exist, the forefoot 2 and the hindfoot 3 can move freely with respect to the trunk 6. As described above, since the head 1, the forefoot 2 and the hindfoot 3 move freely with respect to the torso 6, and have no elasticity in the chest,
The stuffed animal 16 takes various cute poses, such as a pose in which the limbs are spread as shown in FIG. 8, a pose in which the head 1 is seated without drooping as shown in FIG. 9, and a hanging pose as shown in FIG. be able to.

[0019]

According to the method for producing a stuffed toy of the present invention, various poses can be taken and various display states can be produced, and a stuffed toy having a lovely design can be provided while reducing the labor and cost of production. .
