Description

[Detailed description of the invention]

[0001]

[Technical field to which the invention belongs]

 The present invention relates to figures.

[0002]

[Prior art]

 Figures are primarily dolls that respond to the urge to own the idols and haiku actors who are eager for consumers' consciousness, are scale-down dolls, and are a general term for products that specifically pursue reality It is.

[0003] Artistic reality has sparked consumer sympathy and has become a worldwide boom. However, in recent years, figures that can express “movement” as well as appearance reality are becoming mainstream. This is because the reality of modeling is at the limit of the manufacturing technology, and it is intended to pursue a further sense of reality by expressing reality by "movement". As a result, the degree of freedom in the expression method has been increased, and it has become possible to bring it closer to the actual thing.

[0004]

[Problems to be solved by the invention]

 In consideration of the above, we thoroughly investigated and examined the movements of each individual, and as a method of pursuing more reality, it is only necessary to be able to reproduce the individual pose of each individual with its figure. I found that.

[0005] The present invention is based on the above findings, and aims to provide a figure that can perform more free posing and keep its pose stable in order to approach human movement. It is assumed that.

[0006]

[Means for Solving the Problems]

 In order to reproduce the natural “movement” that humans perform, it is necessary to make the structure of the figure closer to humans. Therefore, it is necessary to reproduce more human joints.

[0007] Furthermore, as long as it is a "doll", it is necessary to keep a certain pose after stopping the pose. For this reason, "predetermined tension" was given using a spring. The method of applying tension using a spring, which was also seen in conventional figures, was made by dimple processing (in the present invention, unevenness) on the sliding surface of the joint. Regarding the joints of the ankles, in the conventional figures, the joints themselves tended to be omitted, but in the figures of the present invention, the purpose was to “close to human movement”. In order to do this, we reproduced ankle joints close to humans.

[0008] In summary, the present invention adopts any one of the following configurations (1) to (7). (1) The body is composed of at least two parts, and the contact surface between them is a pair of sliding contact surfaces where one part can move relative to the other part, and one sliding contact surface is used. The convex curved surface and the other sliding contact surface are concave curved surfaces that can exactly correspond to the convex curved surface. A figure characterized by multiple dimples that can be combined. (2) The figure according to (1) above, wherein the sliding contact surface of the lower portion of the two portions is a convex curved surface, and the sliding contact surface of the upper portion is a concave curved surface. (3) The above-mentioned (1), wherein the plurality of dimples are provided on a sliding contact surface of a lower portion of the two portions, and the plurality of protrusions are provided on a sliding contact surface of a portion located above. Or the figure of (2). (4) The torso is composed of the chest, the abdomen arranged below the chest, and the waist arranged below the abdomen, and the interface between the chest and abdomen and between the abdomen and the waist is defined by the One part is a pair of sliding surfaces that can move relative to the other part, one sliding surface is a convex curved surface, and the other sliding surface is a concave curved surface that can exactly correspond to the convex curved surface. A plurality of substantially hemispherical projections are provided on one of the sliding surfaces of the abdomen and the waist, and a plurality of dimples are provided on the other side so that the projections can be fitted exactly. . (5) The figure according to (4), wherein the lower sliding contact surface of the pair of sliding contact surfaces is a convex curved surface, and the upper sliding contact surface is a concave curved surface. (6) The figure according to (4) or (5), wherein the plurality of dimples are provided on a sliding contact surface of the waist portion, and the plurality of protrusions are provided on a sliding contact surface of the abdomen. (7) The figure according to any one of (1) to (6) above, wherein the ankle can be rotated back and forth and left and right and can be maintained at a predetermined rotation angle.

[0009]

[Functions and effects of the invention]

 In the figure of the present invention, dimple processing (irregularity) is applied to the required sliding contact surface, so that the movement of the joint can be appropriately controlled and a moderation feeling can be given. This moderation makes it possible to maintain the pose at the same time as free posing, which was difficult in the past.

[0010] In the figure of the present invention, the ankle can be rotated back and forth and left and right, and can be maintained at a predetermined rotation angle, thereby enabling a person to "sit in a chair and cross his legs". Has been able to reproduce natural movements with poses as close as possible to humans. In addition, it has become possible to reproduce even “movements” that traditional figures were not good at, such as Seza and Koza.

[0011]

[Embodiment of the invention]

 Hereinafter, a figure according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings.

FIG. 1 is a front view of a figure according to an embodiment of the present invention, and FIG. 2 is a partial cross-sectional view for explaining the structure of the figure.

The figure 10 is roughly divided into a head 20, a torso 30, two upper limbs 40 and two lower limbs 50, and almost all of them are made of soft plastic, soft rubber (silicone rubber), or the like. Is formed of

The head 20 includes a neck 22, and the head 20 is joined to the neck 22 by a joint 60.

The torso 30 includes, from the top, a chest 32, an abdomen 34 arranged below the chest 32, and a waist 36 arranged below the abdomen 34. Contact surfaces are provided between the chest 32 and the abdomen 34 and between the abdomen 34 and the waist 36, and each of these contact surfaces is a pair that allows one portion to move relative to the other. Sliding contact surfaces 32a, 34a and 34b, 36a.

[0016] Of the pair of sliding contact surfaces, one of the sliding contact surfaces is a convex curved surface, and the other sliding contact surface is a concave curved surface that can exactly correspond to the convex curved surface, so that smooth front folding and back warpage can be performed. I made it. In the illustrated example, the sliding surfaces 32a and 34b, that is, the upper sliding surfaces are concave curved surfaces, and the sliding surfaces 34a and 36a, that is, the lower sliding surfaces are convex curved surfaces. The curved surface is preferably a part of a spherical surface.

A plurality of substantially hemispherical projections are provided on one of the sliding surfaces of the abdomen 34 and the waist 36, and a plurality of dimples into which the projections can be fitted are provided on the other side. In the illustrated example, as shown in FIG. 3, a plurality of protrusions 37 are provided on the sliding contact surface 34 b which is a concave curved surface of the abdomen 34, and a plurality of dimples 38 are provided on the sliding contact surface 36 a which is a convex curved surface of the waist 36. Provided. By fitting (engaging) these projections 37 to the dimples 38, a sense of moderation that cannot be obtained with the conventional figure as described above can be obtained.

The walls having the sliding surfaces of the chest 32, the abdomen 34, and the waist 36 are provided with substantially circular openings 61, 62, 64, 66, respectively. , 62, 64, 66 are arranged substantially concentrically in the vertical direction, that is, in a vertically aligned state in the upright state of the figure shown, and a rod member 68 is provided through these openings. Have been. The rod member 68 is for arranging a spring for applying tension to the body 20, and has an upper end 70 extending into the chest 32 and a lower end 72 extending into the waist 36.

A stopper 74 is fixed above the upper end 70, and a stopper 76 is fixed below the lower end 72. Around the rod member 68 above the wall having the sliding surface 32a of the chest 32 and below the wall having the sliding surface 36a of the waist 36, a free annular shape is formed. Receiving seats 78 and 80 are arranged. Further, springs 82 and 84 are arranged between the stopper 74 and the receiving seat 78 and between the stopper 76 and the receiving seat 80 to apply tension to the body 30.

The intermediate portion of the rod member 68 can be bent back and forth by a joint portion 86 so as to be adaptable to the front bending and back warping of the trunk portion.

The neck portion 22 is joined to the chest portion 32 of the body portion 30 by a joint 88 so that the neck portion 22 can be rotated and tilted forward, backward, left and right.

The upper limb 40 includes an upper arm 42, a forearm 44, and a hand 46. The upper arm 42 and the forearm 44, and the forearm 44 and the hand 46 are joined at joints 90 and 92, respectively. This upper limb 40. The upper arm 42 is rotatably joined to the chest 32 of the trunk 30 by a joint 94.

The lower leg 50 includes an upper leg 52, a lower leg 54, and a foot 56. The upper leg 52 and the lower leg 54 are joined by a so-called dual joint 95 that can be folded twice in the front-rear direction. As a result, this figure is capable of sitting on a seat or a cross. 1 and 2, the toe of the foot portion 56 is shown rotated 90 degrees outward.

The lower leg portion 54 and the foot portion 56 can rotate and tilt the foot portion 56 with respect to the lower leg portion 54 in the front-rear direction, as shown in FIG. Are joined by a dual joint 96. The dual joint 96 includes a first joint 98 for rotating the foot 56 with respect to the lower leg 54 and tilting in the front-rear direction, and a second joint 98 for rotating the foot 56 in the left-right direction. 2 joints 100 are provided. The first joint 98 and the second joint 100 share a ball member 102 that forms a part of the joint.

The first joint 98 of the dual joint 96 may have a joint structure as conventionally used, and further description will be omitted. As shown in FIG. 5A, the second joint 100 includes a bearing 104 provided on the ball member 102 and a shaft 106 fixed to the foot 56. As can be seen from FIG. 5, the ball member 102 is composed of two halves 102a and 102b, which are assembled by being joined by a snap-in connection (not shown) or the like. I have. At this time, the bearing portion 104, which is a cylindrical space, is formed inside the spherical member 102.

The shaft portion 106 has a lower portion fixed to the inside of the foot portion 56 with a screw or the like, an upper portion protruding from the foot portion 56, and a columnar shape integrally formed at an upper end of the post 108. (See FIG. 5B).

In the assembled state of the second joint 100, the shaft member 110 can rotate within the bearing portion 104 by applying a predetermined force or more. , That state can be maintained. Although it depends on the material forming the figure, the bearing portion 104 is used to hold the shaft member in a state where pressure is applied to the bearing in order to achieve both the rotation of the shaft member 110 and the maintenance of the state. The size (diameter) of the column is slightly smaller than the size of the column of the shaft member 110. As described above, the rotation of the foot in the lateral direction and the stability in the predetermined rotation state are enabled. Since the figure is put upright and a great load is applied to the ankle, such pressured joints function effectively to stabilize the condition.

The upper limb 50 having the above-described structure is joined to the waist 36 of the torso 30 at the upper leg 52 so as to be able to rotate and swing back and forth in a joint 112.

With the above configuration, in the figure of the present invention, it is possible to take a pose closer to that of a human, and to stabilize the pose.
