Description

【０００１】
【発明の属する技術分野】
本発明は、上半身部品と下半身部品とが揺動可能に連結され、かつ分離・組み立て可能な可動人形用胴体の新規構造に関する。
なお、本明細書において、「上半身部品」とは、腰より上の部分をいい、「下半身部品」とは腰から下の部分（腰部含む）をいうものとする。
【０００２】
【発明の技術的背景】
昨今の人形業界において、特にフィギュアと称される人間の身体（裸体）形態を忠実に模写した構成を有する人形にあっては、脚部や腰部などの各部位の人間的な動きが表現できる構成とすることは勿論のこと、外表面（肌面）の身体的リアルさも要求されているのが現実である。
すなわち、より人間の身体的な特徴、例えば胸部又は臀部分の肌感なども人間の胸部や臀部分と変わらないものとしたいと欲しているものである。これは、例えば、特に水着を着用させたり、あるいは衣裳などを着替えさせたりする度に、胸部や臀部分などの肌を露出させる度合いの高い女性を模写したフィギュアにあっては極めて重要であり、需要者の要求が高く、かつ当業者の追求する要素でもある。
【０００３】
【従来の技術】
従来の可動人形用胴体は、前後に二つ割された腰部分片２０１，２０２が採用され、該二つ割された前後の腰部分片２０１，２０２を合わせてネジ止め固着する際に、上半身部品１００側の係止片（図示省略）と左右の脚部分側の係止片（図示省略）を、両腰部分片２０１，２０２の合わせ面における係止箇所にて回動可能に連結しているものが知られていた（図２０、図２１）。
従って、このように二つ割された腰部分片２０１，２０２をネジ止めして上半身部品１００、下半身部品２００、左右の脚部分を分解可能に固着するものであったため、固着した際に必然的に生じる合わせ目の線（接合線ともいう）８００（図２０、図２１）が下半身部品２００の肌外表面に露呈しており、外観上の美観・リアルさに欠けていた。さらに、ネジ穴９００およびネジ９０１（図２１）が需要者の視覚に入るため、フィギュア全体としての外観上の美観を損ね、リアルさは到底得られていなかった。
そこで本発明者は、このような上半身部品と下半身部品が分離組み立て可能な可動人形において、下半身部品の肌表面から接合線８００、ネジ穴９００、ネジ９０１などを無くし、この種の人形の外観的リアルさを追求・提案するため先に出願している（特願２００１−１０６０２０）。
【０００４】
【発明が解決しようとする課題】
次に本発明者は、未だに残る下記課題を達成するため本願新規発明に至ったものである。
すなわち、人間の身体が各人によって様々であるように、このような可動人形用胴体を使用したフィギュアにあっても、様々な身体形状、特に女性を模写したフィギュアにあっては胸の形状・大きさが様々である。特に、胸（乳房部）が極端に大きい形態が昨今需要者から要求されている。
また、これはフィギュアに限らず、美術デッサン用のモデルとして利用される可動人形用胴体であっても同様である。
従来、この種の可動人形用胴体は、図１９に示すように、ＡＢＳ樹脂などの硬質合成樹脂から上半身部品１００と下半身部品２００が別体若しくは一体成形されているものが一般的である。
しかし、図１９に示すように乳房部３００が極端に大きい構成とした可動人形用胴体の場合、乳房部３００のアンダーバスト３０１位置と腹部４００との接点（図１９に示すＸ部分）が鋭角になるため、このような硬質材で成形する場合、型抜きが不可能であった。そこで従来は、ゴム型に樹脂を流し込んで成形し、成型後ゴム型を伸張せしめて離型する、いわゆる流し込み成形を採用することによりこの種の形態を得ていたが、この製法によることは、原料の注入から離型までの時間が長く掛かりコストが高くなるという課題を抱えていた。
また、フィギュア用若しくは美術デッサン用の可動人形用胴体では、上半身を右方向や左方向などに捩じったポーズをとることが多々在る。
従来のようにＡＢＳ樹脂などの硬質材から上半身部品１００を成形する場合では、胸部分５００と腹部分４００（若しくは腰部分６００）を別体として分割成形したものでないと上述のように上半身を捩じった形態を表現することはできない。
しかし、このように上半身を複数の部分に分割してなるものでは、各連結部位７００が外観から目視され、外観的リアルさが低く、外表面（肌面）の身体的リアルさに欠けていた。
また、このように硬質材からなるものでは、上半身を捩じった表現を採ったとしても、単に分割部位（連結部位）７００で捩じり表現をしているにすぎず、実際の人間が上半身を捩じった時の肌表情は再現し得なかった。すなわち、実際の人間が上半身を捩じった場合、皮膚のしわ、たるみ、筋肉などの移動が肌表面に現れるものであるが、従来技術では到底成し得るものではない。
このような肌の細かい動き・表現は、人間により近い肌表面を求めるフィギュア需要者からの要望も高く、また特に美術用デッサンで使用される可動人形用胴体で望まれている現状がある。すなわち、実物の裸体女性を描こうとする場合、そのためのモデルとなる女性を探さなければならず、モデル探しが簡単にいかないばかりか面倒であると共に、モデルに支払うコストも掛かるため、上述のような可動人形用胴体の提供が望まれていたものである。
【０００５】
本発明は、従来技術の有するこのような問題点に鑑みなされたもので、その目的とするところは、少なくとも上半身部品と下半身部品が別成形されると共に揺動可能、かつ分離・組み立て可能に連結されてなる可動人形用胴体において、可能な限り肌表面のリアルさを表現しつつ、人間的なリアルな動き・肌表情が表現でき、かつ成形容易でコストが安価である一体成形された上半身部品を有する分解組み立て可能な可動人形用胴体を提供することである。
【０００６】
【課題を解決するための手段】
上記目的を達成するために本発明がなした技術的手段は、少なくとも上半身部品と下半身部品が別成形されると共に揺動可能、かつ分離・組み立て可能に連結されてなる可動人形用胴体であって、上半身部品はその本体を軟質材で中空状に成形し、該上半身部品本体内には芯材が嵌入されて内装され、前記芯材は、上下方向で分割されると共に揺動可能に芯材間連結部材によって連結された硬質材からなる第一芯材と第二芯材からなり、第一芯材は、上半身部品本体の腹部と同程度の長さで、かつ僅かに小形に形成され、下半身部品と揺動可能かつ着脱可能に連結される下半身連結部材を備えて前記腹部内に嵌入され、第二芯材は、上半身部品本体の胸部と同程度の長さで、かつ僅かに小形に形成され、腕部と揺動可能かつ着脱可能に連結される腕部連結部材を備えて前記胸部内に嵌入され、前記上半身部品を構成する軟質材は、前記芯材を横方向に揺動作動することによって、該芯材の横方向揺動作動に追随して捩れ変形可能な程度に軟質であることを特徴とする可動人形用胴体としたことである。
この場合、上半身部品は、例えばスラッシュ成形からなる塩化ビニル樹脂製である。
また、このような技術的手段は、上半身部品に乳房部を有し、該乳房部のアンダーバストの位置と腹部との接点角が鋭角である女性を模写した可動人形用胴体とした場合に顕著な効果を有する。
また、少なくとも上半身部品と下半身部品が別成形されると共に揺動可能、かつ分離・組み立て可能に連結されてなる可動人形用胴体であって、上半身部品はその本体を軟質材で中空状に成形し、該上半身部品本体内には芯材が内装され、芯材は少なくとも上下方向で分割されると共に揺動可能に連結された硬質材からなる第一芯材と第二芯材からなり、第一芯材は、下半身部品と揺動可能かつ着脱可能に連結される下半身連結部材を有し、第二芯材は、腕部と揺動可能かつ着脱可能に連結される腕部連結部材を有し、上記上半身部品を構成する軟質材は、芯材の揺動作動によって変形可能な程度に軟質であり、他方、上記下半身部品を構成する腰部分は、上半身部品連結空間と左右の脚部分連結空間とを備えて一体成形されると共に、左右の脚部における関節部分の係止片を回動可能に連結する脚部分連結構造と、上記上半身部品における第一芯材の下半身連結部材を着脱可能に連結する上半身部品連結構造を有し、脚部分連結構造は、一体成形された腰部分本体の股間位置内面に設けた係止部と、該係止部と合致して上記脚部分の係止片を回動可能に係止保持する係止部を有する着脱可能な押え部材とからなり、かつ該押え部材の頂面には、上記第一芯材の下半身連結部材を着脱可能に連結する連結部を立設して上半身部品連結構造を兼ねている。
【０００７】
【発明の実施の形態】
以下、本発明の一実施形態を図に基いて説明する。
なお、以下に説明する実施形態は、本発明の一実施形態にすぎず、何等これに限定解釈されるものではない。

図中、４０は上半身部品、１は下半身部品の一実施形態を夫々示す。
なお、言うまでもないが、本実施形態では特に極端に大きい胸（乳房部）を持つ人間の女性裸体を模写した上半身部品を示すが、人間の男性裸体を模写した構成であってもよいことは勿論である。
【０００９】
上半身部品４０は、上端と下端そして左右の腕部連結部位に夫々開口４２，４３，４４を有してなる中空状の上半身部品本体４１と、該本体４１内に嵌め込み状に内装される芯材４８と、上記開口４４を介して芯材４８と連結される左右の腕部３６と、開口４２を介して芯材４８と連結される首部３８を備えて構成されている。なお、左右の腕部３６は、手部３７を有している。また、顔部（頭部）は本実施形態では省略している。
上記上半身部品本体４１を構成する軟質材は、芯材４８の揺動作動によって変形可能な程度に軟質であればよく、例えば、塩化ビニル樹脂などの軟質合成樹脂材でスラッシュ成形等したものが代表例として挙げられる。なお、上記本体４１の軟質材は、塩化ビニル樹脂などの軟質合成樹脂材に限定されず、他の軟質合成樹脂材であってもよく、また軟質ゴム材などから一体成形されるものであってもよい。
上半身部品本体４１は、特にその全体的なスタイル、すなわち、痩せ型、中肉型、太り型、あるいはウエストのくびれ程度、背中のラインなど種々選択して適用可能であり限定されないが、本実施形態では本体４１の前面（胸部４５）位置には極端に大きい乳房部４７を一体成形している。なお、本実施形態では、上半身本体４１は、胸部４５と腹部４６とが一体成形された一体物である。
乳房部４７は、そのアンダーバスト４７ａの位置と腹部４６との接点角（図３（ｂ）にてＸで示す位置の角度）が鋭角であるものとする。特に接触角の角度は限定されないが、上述の通りアンダーバスト４７ａの位置と腹部４６との接点角Ｘが鋭角である乳房部４７を有する場合、このようにスラッシュ成形できれば成形容易であると共にコストが安価であり特に有効である。
上半身部品本体４１の下端に設けた開口４３は、後述する芯材４８の第一芯材４９の外周よりも小径状とする。
なお、首部３８は、芯材４８と連結される構成でなくともよい。
【００１０】
芯材４８は、少なくとも上下方向で分割されると共に揺動可能に連結された硬質材からなる第一芯材４９と第二芯材５４からなる。芯材４８は、夫々の構成部品が、ＡＢＳ樹脂などの硬質合成樹脂材からなるものとするが、特に限定解釈はされない。なお、後述する芯材間連結部材５２・下半身連結部材５３・腕部連結部材５７あるいは首部３８の連結用摺動ボール３８ａにあっては、摺動頻度が高いことから磨耗し難い材質を採用することも良い。本実施形態では、芯材４８の一例を示しているにすぎず、これに何等限定解釈されるものではない。
【００１１】
第一芯材４９は、上半身部品本体４１の腹部４６と同程度の長さで、かつ腹部４６よりも僅かに小形（薄幅・薄肉）に形成され、二枚の前後片５０，５１と該前後片５０，５１間に一端を摺動自在に連結した芯材間連結部材５２と、下半身連結部材５３を備える。この前後片５０，５１のうち、例えば、前方側の一片５０の表面には、腹筋などの形状を形成しておくこととするのもよい。また、前後片５０，５１は、夫々の合わせ面に嵌合可能な凹凸部を夫々設けた嵌着タイプとしたり、前後片５０，５１をネジ止したりして着脱可能に構成する。
芯材間連結部材５２は、棹部５２ａの両端に摺動ボール５２ｂ，５２ｃを一体形成してなり、一端側の摺動ボール５２ｂを前後片５０，５１の上端内面に形成した凹部５０ａ，５１ａで摺動自在に保持すると共に、他端側の摺動ボール５２ｃを、第二芯材５４を構成する前後片５５，５６の下端内面に形成した凹部５５ａ，５６ａで摺動自在に保持することにより第一芯材４９と第二芯材５４が夫々揺動可能、かつ着脱可能に連結される。
また、人形を大型にし、上半身部品本体４１を長くする必要性が出た場合、第一芯材４９と第二芯材５４を夫々に合うように大型にしてもよいが、上記芯材間連結部材５２の棹部５２ａの長さを長尺状にすれば適宜適合可能でもある。
上記下半身連結部材５３は、棹部５３ａの一端に摺動ボール５３ｂを一体形成し、その摺動ボール５３ｂを前後片５０，５１の下端内面に形成した凹部５０ｂ，５１ｂで摺動自在に保持すると共に、下半身部品１の腰部２に備えられる上半身部品連結構造１９の連結部２０に、前記棹部５３ａを差込嵌合して揺動可能、かつ着脱可能に連結される。
【００１２】
第二芯材５４は、上半身部品本体４１の胸部４５と同程度の長さで、かつ胸部４５よりも僅かに小形（薄幅・薄肉）に形成され、二枚の前後片５５，５６と該前後片５５，５６間に一端を摺動自在に連結した腕部連結部材５７を備える。この前後片５５，５６は、夫々の合わせ面に嵌合可能な凹凸部を夫々設けた嵌着タイプとしたり、前後片５５，５６をネジ止したりして着脱可能に構成する。また、前後片５５，５６の下端内面には凹部５５ａ，５６ａを形成し、上述した芯材間連結部材５２の一端の摺動ボール５２ｃを摺動自在に保持する。
腕部連結部材５７は、円板状に形成した腕部連結片５７ａと、該連結片５７ａと一体形成されている摺動ボール５７ｂとで構成されている。そして、この摺動ボール５７ｂは、前後片５５，５６の側面上端寄り内面に備えた凹部５５ｂ，５６ｂにより摺動自在に保持する。ちなみに腕部連結片５７ａは、腕部上端３６ａと摺動自在に軸着する。この場合の軸着ピン３６ｂとしては、特に限定されないが、合成樹脂材からなり、かつ腕部上端３６ａと腕部連結片５７ａの双方に穿設した挿通孔に嵌合する程度の径太さとすることで、摩擦抵抗を高め、腕部３６の動きに渋み（適度な抵抗）を付けるものとすると良い。
また、本実施形態では、第二芯材５４の上端内面に、首部３８の下端に突出した連結用摺動ボール３８ａを摺動自在かつ揺動可能に保持する凹部５５ｃ，５６ｃを備えている。
なお、第一芯材４９・第二芯材５４共に、前後片に分割形成せずに夫々摺動ボール保持用の凹部を備えて一体的に立体形成したものとし、芯材間連結部材５２の両端ボール５２ｂ，５２ｃや下半身連結部材５３のボール５３ｂ、腕部連結部材５７のボール５７ｂ、あるいは首部３８の下端に突出するボール３８ｂを、外方から強制的に押し込み嵌合させる構成としても良い。
また、本実施形態では、上述した通り左右の腕部３６が第二芯材５４と軸着して一体的に連結されているが、左右の腕部３６と第二芯材５４とは、後述する他の実施形態のように分離・組み立て可能な構造としてもよい。
なお、芯材４８は、第一芯材４９と第二芯材５４の二分割構成が最も人間的な動きを表現でき好ましいが、その分割構成に限定はされない。多分割すればするほど複雑な動きが得られるが、人間的な動きからは掛け離れていってしまう虞があるためその点を考慮して種々選択するのがよい。
【００１３】
そして、第一芯材４９と第二芯材５４とを連結した状態で上半身部品本体４１内に嵌入する。すなわち、軟質材からなる上半身部品本体４１の下端開口４３を押し広げて第二芯材５４・第一芯材４９を順に本体４１内に嵌入する。この時、第一芯材４９・第二芯材５４共に、上半身部品本体４１の夫々対応する腹部４６と胸部４５よりも僅かに小形としているため、嵌入時には芯材４８の外面と上半身部品本体４１の内面とが接触し、あたかも上半身部品本体４１が人間で言うところの皮膚を疑似表現することとなる。
上半身部品４０の作動を図５を参照して説明する。
従って、上半身部品４０を右方向あるいは左方向に捩じった場合、図５（ｃ）のように第一芯材４９・第二芯材５４が揺動し、その動きに従って疑似皮膚となる上半身部品本体４１の第二芯材作動対応箇所周辺・第一芯材４９との連結箇所周辺が追随して変形するため、あたかも人間が体を捩じった時に生じる皮膚のしわ・たるみ・筋肉の移動（図中Ｙで示す）などが上半身部品本体４１表面に表現される（図５（ａ）（ｂ））。このような表現方法は全く新規なものでこの種の可動人形用胴体において極めて人間の肌表面の表現に近いリアルさを表現できた。
【００１４】
図６では、芯材４８の他の実施形態を示す。
図６は、第一芯材４９と連結されている第二芯材５４の変更例を示し、本体５４ａの両側面に同軸上に差込連結部５８，５８を凹設すると共に、該連結部５８はその軸中心に嵌合穴５８ａを有し、そしてこれに対応する腕部３６は、上端３６ａ側に円板状の連結片３６ｄを軸着した揺動自在な連結部３６ｃを備えており、該連結部３６ｃは嵌合棹３６ｅを突設し、この嵌合棹３６ｅを上記第二芯材５４の差込連結部５８の嵌合穴５８ａに嵌合する構成とした。
これにより、左右の腕部３６と第二芯材５４とは、分離・組み立て可能となる。また、差込連結部５８は、第二芯材本体５４ａの両側面から同軸上に突設する構成を採用しても良い。本実施形態では、上述した実施形態のように本体５４ａを形成しているが、本体５４ａの形状は何等限定されるものはなく適宜任意の形状を採ることができる。
【００１５】
次に、上記上半身部品４０を連結する下半身部品１について図面を参照して説明する。下半身部品１は、腰部２と左右の脚部２４から構成されている。
図に示す左右の脚部２４、左右の腕部３６、左右の手部３７、首部３８は、夫々分解・組み立て可能（図２参照）で、その接合部位にて任意に回動作動と屈曲作動のいずれか若しくは双方が可能である。また、これら各部の材質は特に限定解釈されず任意に選択可能である。なお、本発明において、例えば左右の腕部（手部３７を含む）３６、首部３８などの構造は、特に図示形態に限定解釈されるものではなく、本発明の範囲内で適宜必要に応じて他の形態・構成を採用することが可能である。また、本実施形態では、左右の足部３１、首部３８などがすべて分解・組み立て可能な構成（図２参照）としているが、これには特に限定されず本発明の範囲内で変更可能である。
腰部２は、上半身部品連結空間３と左右の脚部連結空間４，４とを備えて人間の腰部外表面を忠実に表現すべく、従来のような二つ割構成ではなく一体成形され、左右の脚部２４，２４の付け根位置における股間連結部材３２の係止片３２ａ，３２ａを着脱・回動可能に連結する脚部連結構造５と、上半身部品４０を着脱可能に連結する上半身部品連結構造１９を有している。
このように一体成形されるため、腰部２には従来のような合わせ面に生じていた線（図２０に示すような接合線８００）がなく、また臀部２ｂにはネジ穴（図２１に示すようなネジ穴９００，ネジ９０１）などもなく、外観上の美観向上・リアルさ向上を図り、より人間の腰部外表面（肌面）を忠実に表現し得る。これによれば、上述した上半身部品４０の構造と相俟って、特に女性を模写した可動人形用胴体における人間的肌感のリアルさが極めて向上する。
上記上半身部品連結空間３と左右の脚部連結空間４，４とは夫々連通状に形成されている。
腰部２全体の大きさ、形状など任意で、また外表面の形状、例えば臀部２ｂ・下腹部２ｃの膨らみ等、股２ｄの切れ込み程度等も任意で、特に図示形状に限定解釈されるものではなく、本発明の範囲内で任意に設計変更可能である。
【００１６】
脚部連結構造５は、一体成形された腰部本体２ａの股間部６内面に設けた下側係止部７と、該下側係止部７と合致して左右の脚部２４，２４の各係止片３２ａ，３２ａを回動可能に係止保持する上側係止部１２を有する着脱可能な押え部材１０とからなり、該下側係止部７と上側係止部１２とによって、左右の脚部２４，２４の付け根位置を着脱可能、かつ回動可能に連結保持する構造である。
【００１７】
腰部本体２ａに設けられる下側係止部７は、左右の脚部連結空間４，４の間に位置している股間部６の内面に、左右脚部２４，２４の両係止片３２ａ，３２ａを相対向して内装可能な単一の凹部８を設けると共に、該凹部８と連通状に股間部６の内面両端縁に設けた半円状の左右係止溝９，９にて構成されている。
【００１８】
押え部材１０は、押え部材本体１１の下面に上側係止部１２を備えると共に、該本体１１の上面に上半身部品連結構造１９を備えている。
押え部材本体１１は、例えば腰部本体２ａの股間部６内面幅と同幅の略直方体状に形成され、その下面略中央に上側係止部１２を設けると共に、該上側係止部１２の同一軸上の上面略中央に上半身部品連結構造１９を立設する。
押え部材１０に設けられる上側係止部１２は、腰部本体２ａに設けた下側係止部７の凹部８と同一形状の凹部１３を有し、該凹部１３は下側係止部７上に合わせた際に、下側係止部７の凹部８と共に短尺筒状の係止片内装空間１５を形成する。そして上側係止部１２は、下側係止部７の左右係止溝９，９と同一形状の半円状の左右係止溝１４，１４を、該凹部１３と連通状に本体１１の下面両端縁に設けて構成されている。
【００１９】
そして、上述のように構成された押え部材１０は、腰部本体２ａの股間部６内面上に上方から被せて、該股間部６内面上にネジ止め固着する。図中１６はネジ、１７は押え部材本体側のネジ穴、１８は股間部６内面側のネジ穴を夫々示す。なお、固着構成は一例として上述したネジ止め構成に限らず、着脱可能な周知固着構成が適宜採用可能である。
【００２０】
上記下側係止部７と上側係止部１２は、本実施形態に限定解釈されるものではなく、本発明の範囲内で適宜設計変更可能である。すなわち、係止片内装空間１５・係止溝９，１４などの構成は本発明の範囲内で他の構成に変更可能である。また、下側係止部７の凹部８と上側係止部１２の凹部１３は、夫々左脚部係止片用凹部と右脚部係止片用凹部とを別個独立して凹設するものとしてもよい。
また、押え部材１０の全体形状も特に限定されず設計変更可能である。
【００２１】
上半身部品連結構造１９は、上述した押え部材１０の上面が兼ねている。すなわち、押え部材本体１１の上面略中心に立設した連結部２０を介して上半身部品４０を連結している。
連結部２０は、例えば本実施形態の如く、上面を開放し、差込み穴２１を備えた円筒状に構成され、例えば上半身部品４０の下部から突出している下半身連結部材５３の棹部５３ａを、上記差込み穴２１に着脱自在に差込み連結する。
なお、本実施形態では、上半身部品４０と腰部２との継手部分にボールジョイント構成とした下半身連結部材５３を使用しているため、上記連結部２０の差込み穴２１を断面角穴状とした場合には、この棹部５３ａ外形も角柱状にすることが可能で、上半身部品４０と腰部分２とが着脱自在な継手構造を有していれば、棹部５３ａと差込み穴２１との関係は任意に設計変更可能である。但し、容易に抜け落ちないように嵌合されているものとする。
【００２２】
従って、本実施形態における腰部２に左右の脚部２４，２４と上半身部品４０を組み立て一体化する場合、まず、左右の脚部２４，２４は、各付け根部の股間連結部材３２，３２に備えられている各係止片３２ａ，３２ａを、夫々腰部本体２の股間部６内面に設けられた係止溝９，９を介して下側凹部８内に各係止片３２ａ，３２ａの下側半分を係止保持させる。
そして次に、押え部材１０を、上半身部品連結空間１９の方向（上方向）から股間部６内面上に被せて上側凹部１３内に上記係止片３２ａ，３２ａの上側半分を内装すると共に、係止溝１４，１４を上記係止溝９，９と合致させる。
次に、ネジ１６を押え部材１０の上方から締め付けて、該押え部材１０を股間部６内面上に固着する。これにより、左右の脚部２４，２４は、係止片３２ａ，３２ａが係止片内装空間１５で回動可能に連結保持される。
そして次に、上述の通り固着された押え部材１０の連結部２０の差込み穴２１に、上半身部品４０の下半身連結部材５３の棹部５３ａを差込み連結する。これにより、上半身部品４０の下側は、腰部２の内方に挿入された状態で腰部２に連結されるため、外観上で上半身部品４０と腰部２とが分離せず一体感を醸し出す。
【００２３】
また、分解する場合には、まず、腰部２の連結部２０の差込み穴２１から、上半身部品４０の棹部５３ａを単に引き抜くだけで良い。これにより、上半身部品４０が腰部２から簡単に分離される。
次に、上半身部品４０を分離した腰部２の上半身部品連結空間３には、押え部材１０が現れ、そのネジ１６が直視できるため、該押え部材１０を腰部２の股間部６内面に固着している該ネジ１６を外すことができる。このネジ１６を外すことにより、押え部材１０は上方に外すことができる。これにより、股間部６の内面にある下側係止部７に内装係止されていた左右脚部２４，２４の係止片３２ａ，３２ａを外すことができる。
従って、このように簡単に分解組み立てができるため、他のパーツ（他の上胴部や他の脚部）への組み替え、あるいは洋服などの着せ替え・装備などの取付けなども容易に可能である。
【００２４】
このように、本実施形態によれば、腰部本体２ａを一体成形し、従来のような上半身部品連結空間内に位置していたネジ止め構成部分（図２１に示す符号９０２部分）が存在しないため、そして、押え部材１０の上面に立設した連結部２０を介して上半身部品４０の下半身連結部材５３の棹部５３ａを、着脱自在に差込み連結する構成としたため、上半身部品連結空間３が広く確保できる。
すなわち、上半身部品連結空間３が広く確保できるということは、腰部２の上半身部品連結空間３内に上半身部品４０下側が挿入された状態で連結される人形において、該上半身部品４０がその空間３内で自由に動き得るスペースが広く取れ、上半身部品４０と腰部２との境目の折曲・回動作動がスムーズかつ自由度が広がる。
【００２５】
次に、左右の脚部２４，２４の構造について図面を参照して説明する。
脚部２４は、上脚２５と下脚３０と足部３１とから構成され、上脚２５の付け根位置が腰部２の股間位置にて任意方向に開脚作動可能、かつ着脱可能に連結されている。脚部２４を構成する上脚２５、下脚３０、足部３１の外観形状、すなわち肌感等（例えば筋肉の盛り上がり、女性的なライン、肌表面の色合いなど）は特に限定して解釈されるものではなく、本発明の範囲内で適宜設計変更可能である。本実施形態の脚部構造によれば、上述した上半身部品４０の構造および腰部２の構造と相俟って、さらに外観的美観・人間的肌感のリアルさがさらに向上する。
【００２６】
上脚２５は、脚長さ方向で前後に二分割した２つの上脚本体２５ａ，２５ｂを組合わせて使用し、上脚２５内には、嵌合連結部材３３を内装すると共に、股間連結部材３２を上端側に備えてなり、この上脚構造によれば、人形の上脚外表面、すなわち肌表面にネジおよびネジ穴を露出することなく前後の上脚本体２５ａ，２５ｂ同士を分解・組み立て自在に連結し、肌表面のリアルさをできる限り人間に近づけることができる。具体的な構成は次の通りである。
【００２７】
一方の上脚本体２５ａは、その内面長さ方向に並設させて第一の板状部固定用ネジ止め部２６、第二の板状部固定用ネジ止め部２７を設け、そして上端側（付け根位置側）内面にも同様の構成の股間連結部材用ネジ止め部２８を設けている。
第一の板状部固定用ネジ止め部２６、第二の板状部固定用ネジ止め部２７、および股間連結部材用ネジ止め部２８は、上端にネジ挿入口２６ａ，２７ａ，２８ａを有すると共に、外面に非貫通状なネジ穴２６ｂ，２７ｂ，２８ｂを設けた所望高さ・所望径の短筒状に突設されている。
なお、この股間連結部材用ネジ止め部２８は、第一・第二の板状部固定用ネジ止め部２６，２７よりも、その上端を高い位置となるように構成されている。
詳しくは、後述する股間連結部材３２の上脚側連結片３２ｃと、嵌合連結部材３３の第二連結部３３ｅを嵌挿した時に、上記ネジ止め部２８の上端２８ｃが上記第二連結部３３ｅの上面３３ｅ′と面一若しくは第二連結部３３ｅの上面３３ｅ′よりも低く位置する程度の高さ寸法で形成されている（図１７（ａ）参照）。また、第一・第二の板状部固定用ネジ止め部２６，２７は、嵌合連結部材３３の板状部３３ａができる限り上脚の幅方向中心に配置されるよう第二連結片３３ｅの基端３３ｇから段差をもって形成されるため、その上端２６ｃ，２７ｃが板状部３３ａの裏面３３ａ″を接触支持する高さをもって形成される。なお、本実施形態では、第一・第二の板状部固定用ネジ止め部２６，２７の位置決め用の溝３３ｈを裏面３３ａ″に設けている。
他方の上脚本体２５ｂは、一方の上脚本体２５ａと組合わせた時に、上記第一の板状部固定用ネジ止め部２６と第二の板状部固定用ネジ止め部２７と同軸上に位置する嵌合凹部２９，２９をその内面に突設してなる。
この嵌合凹部２９は、嵌合連結部材３３の板状部３３ａの一面（上脚本体２５ｂ対向面）３３ａ′に突設される嵌合突起３３ｃを筒部内径２９ａに嵌合せしめることで、前後の上脚本体２５ａ，２５ｂ同士を着脱可能に連結固定する役目を有している。
なお、本実施形態では、板状部３３ａの嵌合突起３３ｃを、嵌合凹部２９の筒部内径２９ａに嵌め込む構成としているが、板状部３３ａの嵌合突起３３ｃの貫通穴３３ｃ′に嵌まり込むような突起を他方の上脚本体２５ｂ内面に突設する構成としてもよい。
【００２８】
股間連結部材３２は、腰部２の股間部位に回動可能かつ着脱可能に連結される係止片３２ａと、上脚本体２５ａの上端側に連結される上脚側連結片３２ｃとからなり、上脚側連結片３２ｃは、挿通穴３２ｄを設けたフランジ板状に形成されると共に、係止片３２ａと一体的に備えられている。
本実施形態では、薄肉円板状に形成されると共に、その円板中心位置に挿通穴３２ｄを設けた上脚側連結片３２ｃと、該上脚側連結片３２ｃの外周から、該連結片３２ｃの径方向外方に突設される棹部３２ｂと、該棹部３２ｂ先端を軸中心に連結し一体成形されている小径円板状の係止片３２ａとから構成されている。
そして、この股間連結部材３２における上脚側連結片３２ｃの挿通穴３２ｄは、上脚本体２５ａの股間連結部材用ネジ止め部２８の外径を摺接状に嵌め込むことのできる穴径とする。
また、本実施形態では、各上脚本体２５ａ，２５ｂの上端側は、上記上脚側連結片３２ｃの円板形状と同一円弧状に形成すると共に、上脚本体２５ａ，２５ｂを一体的に組み合わせた時に、該上脚側連結片３２ｃの円板形状に合致する切り欠き２５ｃ，２５ｃを夫々設けている。上脚側連結片３２ｃは、上脚本体２５ａ，２５ｂの切り欠き２５ｃ，２５ｃ間に挟まれた時に、該切り欠き２５ｃ，２５ｃ間で上脚上端中心に位置する。
【００２９】
嵌合連結部材３３は、一方の上脚本体２５ａ内に一体的に取付けて内装されると共に、他方の上脚本体２５ｂを着脱可能に嵌合連結する。
嵌合連結部材３３は、上脚本体２５ａ内に内装固定される板状部３３ａの一端に下脚３０と連結される第一連結部３３ｄを備えると共に、他端には上記股間連結部材３２の上脚側連結片３２ｃとネジ止め連結される第二連結部３３ｅを備えてなる。
上記板状部３３ａは、上脚本体２５ａ内に内装可能な幅・長さの所望板形状に形成し、板長さ方向に複数個のネジ穴３３ｂ，３３ｂを設けると共に、該夫々のネジ穴３３ｂ上端には、該ネジ穴３３ｂと穴中心軸方向に連通する貫通穴３３ｃ′を有した嵌合突起３３ｃを設けている。
第一連結部３３ｄは、下脚３０の上端に備えた連結部３０ａを、任意方向に回動作動可能かつ着脱可能に嵌合する嵌合部３３ｄ′を備えてなり、本実施形態によれば嵌合部３３ｄ′は、下脚３０上端の連結部３０ａをきつく嵌合可能な内径とした嵌合穴とする。
なお、下脚３０は、上述したように第一連結部３３ｄに嵌合可能な連結部を有しているものであれば特にその構造に限定されるものではなく本発明の範囲内で任意形状が選択可能である。
第二連結部３３ｅは、上記板状部３３ａの上端からフランジ板状に延設されると共に、その先端側に挿通穴３３ｆを設けてなる。フランジ板状の形状は特に限定されず任意であり、挿通穴３３ｆは、上脚本体２５ａの股間連結部材用ネジ止め部２８の外径を摺接状に嵌め込むことのできる穴径とする。すなわち、第二連結部３３ｅは、本実施形態では、股間連結部材３２の上脚側連結片３２ｃの摺接面（上面）３２ｃ′よりも小さく形成されているが、該摺接面（上面）３２ｃ′と同等の大きさとしてもよい。
そして、この第二連結部３３ｅは、上記股間連結部材３２の上脚側連結片３２ｃと共に一方の上脚本体２５ａ内面に備えた股間連結部材用ネジ止め部２８を介してネジ止め連結されることで肌表面に露出しない渋み調整部３９を構成している。
【００３０】
また、本実施形態では、嵌合連結部材３３に次のような特有構成を採用している。すなわち、この嵌合連結部材３３は、板状部３３ａと、第一連結部３３ｄと、第二連結部３３ｅを一体成形してなる。
そして、第二連結部３３ｅの基端３３ｇから、段差を設けて一段下がった位置に板状部３３ａを一体的に延設すると共に、該板状部３３ａの他端が、第一連結部３３ｄの筒円中心３３ｄ″若しくはその近傍に連結した構成としている。詳しくは、股間連結部材３２の上脚側連結片３２ｃ上に第二連結部３３ｅを重ねて配置した時に、板状部３３ａが、上脚側連結片３２ｃと同一レベル位置に来るように設定される。
この技術的構成を採用する背景を説明する。
第二連結部３３ｅは、股間連結部材３２における上脚側連結片３２ｃの上面３２ｃ′上に摺接状に置かれる。この時、上述した通り上脚側連結片３２ｃは、その組み込み時には上脚本体２５ａ，２５ｂ間の中心に配されるため、第二連結部３３ｅは必然的に上脚本体２５ａ，２５ｂ間中心よりも、上脚本体２５ｂ寄りに位置する。ここで、第二連結部３３ｅの基端３３ｇから同一延長線上に板状部３３ａを一体的に延設することも可能である。
しかし、このように構成すると、板状部３３ａが、上脚本体２５ｂ寄りに位置することとなる。このような構成となると、板状部３３ａと上脚本体２５ｂとの間のすきまが狭くなり、嵌合凹部２９と嵌合突起３３ｃとの嵌合深さが不十分となる。これでは、嵌合が弱くなる虞があり、この点を解消するには上記すきまを広くして嵌合突起高さと嵌合凹部深さを十分にする必要があるが、このようにすきまを広くするということは上脚そのものを太くしなければならない。上脚を太くするということは、女性の美しい脚線美を求める需要者にとっては大きな問題で、商品価値の低下となる。
また、第二連結部３３ｅと板状部３３ａを上述通り面一に延設したとすると、該板状部３３ａの他端側と、第一連結部３３ｄとの連結部位が、筒状に形成されている第一連結部３３ｄの筒円中心３３ｄ″より上方となる。第一連結部３３ｄは、上脚の下端開口部２５ｄと同心円状に嵌合部３３ｄ′が位置（図１６において中心軸を符号Ｌで示す。）していなければならないため、その配設位置は常に一定である。そのため、板状部３３ａが上脚本体２５ｂ寄りに配されると、必然的に第一連結部３３ｄと板状部３３ａとの連結部位は、筒円中心３３ｄ″より上方となる。この第一連結部３３ｄは、下脚屈曲・回転作動時にかなりの力が掛かる。よって、板状部３３ａとの連結部位が筒円中心３３ｄ″より上方では、このような力に耐え得るのが難しい。
そこで、上述した通り、第二連結部３３ｅの基端３３ｇから、段差を設けて一段下がった位置に板状部３３ａを一体的に延設した構成とすることで、板状部３３ａを上脚幅方向中心に位置させることができるため、上脚そのものを太くすることなく嵌合突起高さ・嵌合凹部深さを十分に確保することができる。
また、板状部３３ａを上脚幅方向中心に位置させることができるため、第一連結部３３ｄの筒円中心３３ｄ″又はその近傍に板状部３３ａを連結することができる。
【００３１】
渋み調整部３９は、このように上脚本体２５ａ内面の股間連結部材用ネジ止め部２８と、股間連結部材３２の上脚側連結片３２ｃと、嵌合連結部材３３の第二連結部３３ｅと、ネジ３５によって構成されている。
すなわち、股間連結部材用ネジ止め部２８の外径に、夫々の挿通穴３２ｄ，３３ｆを介して上脚側連結片３２ｃ、続いて第二連結部３３ｅを順次嵌め込み連結すると共に、その上方から固着部材、本実施形態ではネジ３５を締め込んでいく。このネジ３５の締込み具合によって、上脚側連結片３２ｃの両摺接面（上面３２ｃ′，下面３２ｃ″）が、下位の上脚本体２５ａの切り欠き２５ｃの周縁面２５ｃ′と、上位の第二連結部３３ｅの摺接面（下面）３３ｅ″により密着度合いが調整される。これにより、上脚側連結片３２ｃが回動する時、その各摺接箇所に摩擦が生じ、この摩擦を調整することで渋みが調整可能となる。また、この渋み調整部３９は、上述の構成を採用したことにより、脚部２４の外表面（肌表面）２４ａに露出することがなく、本発明の目的とするところの肌表面のリアルさを追求し得る。
また、足部３１は、下脚３０と着脱可能であっても一体的に備えられているもので有ってもよく、いずれも本発明の範囲内で任意にその形状・構造が選択できる。
【００３２】
ここで上脚構造の組み立て工程の一例を説明する。
まず、股間連結部材３２の上脚側連結片３２ｃの挿通穴３２ｄに、一方の上脚本体２５ａの上端側に突設されている股間連結部材用ネジ止め部２８の外径を嵌挿して、係止片３２ａが上脚本体２５ａの上端に突状に位置するように股間連結部材３２を回動可能に備える。
この時、股間連結部材３２の上脚側連結片３２ｃの摺接面（下面）３２ｃ″は、上脚本体２５ａの切り欠き周縁面２５ｃ′に接している。
そして、次に、第一の板状部固定用ネジ止め部２６と第二の板状部固定用ネジ止め部２７に、嵌合連結部材３３の各ネジ穴３３ｂ，３３ｂを合わせると共に、ネジ穴上方の嵌合突起３３ｃ，３３ｃの貫通穴３３ｃ′，３３ｃ′を介してネジ３４，３４を締め付ける。
この時、嵌合連結部材３３の第二連結部３３ｅは、その挿通穴３３ｆに、上記上脚側連結片３２ｃ上に突出している股間連結部材用ネジ止め部２８の外径を嵌挿させると共に、摺接面（下面）３３ｅ″が上脚側連結片３２ｃの摺接面（上面）３２ｃ′に接している。
そして、股間連結部材用ネジ止め部２８にネジ３５を締め付けて股間連結部材３２を上脚本体２５ａの切り欠き周縁面２５ｃ′と第二連結部３３ｅの摺接面３３ｅ′によって挟み込むように密着させて連結する。
このネジ３５の締め付け程度によって、股間連結部材３２の渋みを強弱調整する。
そして、次に他方の上脚本体２５ｂの嵌合凹部２９と、嵌合連結部材３３の嵌合突起３３ｃとを嵌め合わせることにより、一方の上脚本体２５ａと他方の上脚本体２５ｂが一体化されて上脚２５が形成される。
そして、その後、上脚２５の下端側に位置する第一連結部３３ｄに、下脚３０を連結する。
このように上脚２５が形成されることにより、脚部２４の外表面（肌表面）２４ａには、従来のようなネジやネジ穴がなく、人間のような肌感のリアルさが得られる。また、上脚本体２５ａ，２５ｂ同士も自由に分離可能で、従来のように接着や溶着により分離不能となっているものではないため、必要に応じて分解できる。
【００３３】

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a novel structure of a movable doll torso in which an upper body part and a lower body part are swingably coupled and can be separated and assembled.
In the present specification, the “upper body part” means a part above the waist, and the “lower body part” means a part (including the waist part) below the waist.
[0002]
TECHNICAL BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
In the doll industry in recent years, especially in dolls that have a structure that faithfully replicates the human body (naked body) shape, which is called a figure, a structure that can express the human movement of each part such as the leg and waist Of course, physical reality of the outer surface (skin surface) is also required.
That is, the human body wants to make the physical characteristics of the human body, for example, the skin feeling of the chest or the heel, the same as the human breast or the heel. This is especially important for a figure that replicates a woman who has a high degree of exposure to the skin, such as the chest and heel, each time she wears a swimsuit or changes clothes. The demands of consumers are high, and it is also an element pursued by those skilled in the art.
[0003]
[Prior art]
The conventional movable doll torso employs waist part pieces 201 and 202 which are divided into two parts at the front and rear, and the upper body part when the front and back waist part parts 201 and 202 which are divided into two parts are fixed together with screws. A locking piece (not shown) on the component 100 side and a locking piece (not shown) on the left and right leg portions are connected so as to be rotatable at the locking points on the mating surfaces of both waist portion pieces 201 and 202. Was known (FIGS. 20 and 21).
Accordingly, the waist part pieces 201 and 202 divided in this way are screwed and the upper body part 100, the lower body part 200, and the left and right leg parts are fixed in a dismountable manner. The seam line (also referred to as a joining line) 800 (FIGS. 20 and 21) generated in the above is exposed on the skin outer surface of the lower body part 200, and lacks in appearance and realism. Furthermore, since the screw hole 900 and the screw 901 (FIG. 21) are in the visual perception of the consumer, the appearance of the figure as a whole is spoiled, and realism has never been obtained.
Therefore, the present inventor eliminates the joining line 800, the screw hole 900, the screw 901, and the like from the skin surface of the lower body part in such a movable doll in which the upper body part and the lower body part can be separately assembled and assembled. An application has been filed in advance to pursue and propose realism (Japanese Patent Application 2001-106020).
[0004]
[Problems to be solved by the invention]
Next, the present inventor has arrived at the present invention in order to achieve the following remaining problems.
In other words, as the human body varies from person to person, even if the figure uses such a movable doll torso, there are various body shapes, especially the figure of the breast, There are various sizes. In particular, a demand for a form having an extremely large breast (breast portion) has recently been required.
This is not limited to figures, and the same applies to a movable doll torso used as a model for art drawings.
Conventionally, as shown in FIG. 19, this type of movable doll torso is generally one in which an upper body part 100 and a lower body part 200 are separately or integrally molded from a hard synthetic resin such as ABS resin.
However, in the case of a movable doll torso having an extremely large breast 300 as shown in FIG. 19, the contact point (X portion shown in FIG. 19) between the position of the underbust 301 of the breast 300 and the abdomen 400 is an acute angle. Therefore, when molding with such a hard material, it was impossible to perform die cutting. So, in the past, this type of form was obtained by adopting so-called casting molding, in which resin was poured into a rubber mold and molded, and the rubber mold was stretched and released after molding, but this manufacturing method The problem was that it took a long time from the injection of the raw material to the mold release and the cost was high.
Moreover, in the case of a movable doll torso for figures or art drawings, there are many cases where the upper body is in a pose twisted in the right direction or the left direction.
When the upper body part 100 is molded from a hard material such as ABS resin as in the prior art, the upper body is twisted as described above unless the chest part 500 and the abdomen part 400 (or the waist part 600) are separately formed separately. It is not possible to express the form.
However, in the case where the upper body is divided into a plurality of parts in this way, each connecting portion 700 is visually observed from the outside, the appearance is not realistic, and the physical surface of the outer surface (skin surface) is lacking. .
In addition, even in the case of such a hard material, even if the expression of twisting the upper body is taken, it is merely a twisting expression in the divided part (connecting part) 700, and an actual human being The skin expression when the upper body was twisted could not be reproduced. That is, when an actual person twists the upper body, the movement of skin wrinkles, sagging, muscles, etc. appears on the skin surface, but this cannot be achieved with the prior art.
Such fine movements and expressions of skin are highly demanded by figure consumers who want a skin surface closer to humans, and there is a current situation that is particularly desired for movable doll bodies used in art drawings. In other words, when trying to draw a real nude woman, it is necessary to search for a model woman for that purpose, and it is not only easy to find a model but also troublesome, and it also costs money to pay for the model. It was desired to provide a movable body for movable dolls.
[0005]
The present invention has been made in view of the above-described problems of the prior art. The object of the present invention is to connect at least an upper body part and a lower body part that are separately molded and swingable and can be separated and assembled. In the body of the movable doll, the upper body part that is molded as one piece that can express human realistic movements and facial expressions while expressing the realism of the skin surface as much as possible, and is easy to mold and inexpensive. It is an object of the present invention to provide a movable doll torso that can be assembled and disassembled.
[0006]
[Means for Solving the Problems]
The present invention has been made to achieve the above object. At least technical means A body for a movable doll in which an upper body part and a lower body part are separately molded and are swingably connected so as to be separable and assembleable. The upper body part is formed of a soft material in a hollow shape, and the upper body part A core material is fitted into the interior of the component body, and the core material is divided in the vertical direction and is made of a hard material that is connected by an inter-core material connecting member so as to be swingable. It consists of a core material, and the first core material has a lower body connecting member that is about the same length as the abdomen of the upper body part body and is slightly smaller in size, and is swingably and detachably connected to the lower body part. The second core is inserted into the abdomen, and the second core has a length approximately the same as the chest of the upper body part body and is slightly small, and is swingably and detachably connected to the arm. A connecting member is inserted into the chest, and the upper body part is The movable soft doll is characterized in that the soft material is soft enough to be torsionally deformed by swinging the core material in the lateral direction and following the horizontal swing operation of the core material. It is a fuselage.
In this case, the upper body part is made of, for example, a vinyl chloride resin made of slush molding.
In addition, such a technical means is conspicuous when a torso for a movable doll that has a breast part in the upper body part and is a replica of a woman whose contact angle between the underbust position of the breast part and the abdomen is an acute angle. It has a great effect.
Further, at least an upper body part and a lower body part are separately molded and are swingable and connected to be separable and assembleable. The upper body part is formed of a soft material in a hollow shape. The upper body part body is internally provided with a core material, and the core material is composed of a first core material and a second core material which are divided at least in the vertical direction and are connected so as to be swingable. The core member has a lower body connecting member that is swingably and detachably connected to the lower body part, and the second core member has an arm portion connecting member that is swingably and detachably connected to the arm portion. The soft material constituting the upper body part is soft enough to be deformable by the swinging operation of the core material, while the waist part constituting the lower body part is composed of the upper body part connection space and the left and right leg part connection spaces. And is integrally molded with A leg part connecting structure for rotatably connecting a locking piece of the joint part in the leg part and an upper body part connecting structure for detachably connecting the lower body connecting member of the first core member in the upper body part, The coupling structure includes a locking portion provided on the inner surface of the crotch position of the integrally formed waist portion main body, and a locking portion that matches and locks the locking piece of the leg portion so as to rotate.

In the present embodiment, the following unique configuration is adopted for the fitting connection member 33. That is, the fitting connecting member 33 is formed by integrally forming a plate-like portion 33a, a first connecting portion 33d, and a second connecting portion 33e.
Then, the plate-like portion 33a is integrally extended from the base end 33g of the second connecting portion 33e to a position lowered by one step, and the other end of the plate-like portion 33a is connected to the first connecting portion 33d. The cylindrical portion 33a is connected to the cylindrical circle center 33d ″ or the vicinity thereof. Specifically, when the second connecting portion 33e is arranged on the upper leg side connecting piece 32c of the crotch connecting member 32, the plate-like portion 33a is The upper leg side connecting piece 32c is set to be at the same level position.
The background of adopting this technical configuration will be described.
The second connecting portion 33e is placed in sliding contact on the upper surface 32c 'of the upper leg side connecting piece 32c in the crotch connecting member 32. At this time, as described above, the upper leg side connecting piece 32c is arranged at the center between the upper leg main bodies 25a and 25b at the time of assembling, so the second connecting portion 33e is inevitably from the center between the upper leg main bodies 25a and 25b. Is also located closer to the upper leg body 25b. Here, it is also possible to integrally extend the plate-like portion 33a on the same extension line from the base end 33g of the second connecting portion 33e.
However, if comprised in this way, the plate-shaped part 33a will be located near the upper leg main body 25b. If it becomes such composition, the crevice between plate-like part 33a and upper leg main part 25b will become narrow, and the fitting depth of fitting crevice 29 and fitting projection 33c will become insufficient. In this case, there is a possibility that the fitting becomes weak, and in order to eliminate this point, it is necessary to widen the gap and make the fitting protrusion height and the fitting recess depth sufficient. To do that, the upper leg itself must be thickened. Thickening the upper leg is a big problem for consumers who want the beauty of beautiful legs of women, and it lowers the product value.
Further, assuming that the second connecting portion 33e and the plate-like portion 33a are provided so as to be flush with each other as described above, the connecting portion between the other end side of the plate-like portion 33a and the first connecting portion 33d is formed in a cylindrical shape. The first connecting portion 33d is located above the cylindrical circle center 33d ″. In the first connecting portion 33d, the fitting portion 33d ′ is positioned concentrically with the lower leg opening 25d of the upper leg (the central axis in FIG. 16). Therefore, when the plate-like portion 33a is disposed closer to the upper leg main body 25b, the first connecting portion 33d is inevitably provided. And the plate-like portion 33a are connected above the center of the cylindrical circle 33d ″. The first connecting portion 33d is subjected to a considerable force when the lower leg is bent and rotated. Therefore, it is difficult to withstand such a force when the connecting portion with the plate-like portion 33a is above the cylindrical center 33d ″.
Therefore, as described above, the plate-like portion 33a is integrally extended from the base end 33g of the second connecting portion 33e to a position where a step is provided and is lowered by one step. Since it can be positioned at the center in the width direction, the height of the fitting protrusion and the depth of the fitting recess can be sufficiently secured without making the upper leg itself thick.
Further, since the plate-like portion 33a can be positioned at the center in the upper leg width direction, the plate-like portion 33a can be connected to the cylindrical circle center 33d ″ of the first connecting portion 33d or the vicinity thereof.
[0031]
As described above, the astringency adjusting portion 39 includes the crotch connecting member screwing portion 28 on the inner surface of the upper leg main body 25a, the upper leg side connecting piece 32c of the crotch connecting member 32, and the second connecting portion 33e of the fitting connecting member 33. The screw 35 is constituted.
That is, the upper leg side connecting piece 32c and then the second connecting portion 33e are sequentially fitted and connected to the outer diameter of the crotch connecting member screwing portion 28 through the respective insertion holes 32d and 33f, and fixed from above. In this embodiment, the screw 35 is tightened. Due to the tightening condition of the screw 35, both sliding contact surfaces (upper surface 32c ′, lower surface 32c ″) of the upper leg side connecting piece 32c are higher than the peripheral surface 25c ′ of the notch 25c of the lower upper leg body 25a. The degree of adhesion is adjusted by the sliding contact surface (lower surface) 33e ″ of the second connecting portion 33e. Thereby, when the upper leg side connecting piece 32c rotates, friction is generated at each sliding contact portion, and the astringency can be adjusted by adjusting the friction. Further, the astringency adjusting unit 39 adopts the above-described configuration, so that it is not exposed to the outer surface (skin surface) 24a of the leg 24, and the realism of the skin surface as an object of the present invention is achieved. Can be pursued.
Further, the foot portion 31 may be detachably attached to the lower leg 30 or may be integrally provided, and any shape and structure can be selected arbitrarily within the scope of the present invention.
[0032]
Here, an example of the assembly process of the upper leg structure will be described.
First, the outer diameter of the crotch coupling member screwing portion 28 protruding from the upper end side of one upper leg main body 25a is inserted into the insertion hole 32d of the upper leg side coupling piece 32c of the crotch coupling member 32, The crotch connecting member 32 is rotatably provided so that the locking piece 32a is located on the upper end of the upper leg body 25a in a projecting manner.
At this time, the slidable contact surface (lower surface) 32c ″ of the upper leg side connecting piece 32c of the crotch connecting member 32 is in contact with the notched peripheral surface 25c ′ of the upper leg main body 25a.
Next, the screw holes 33b and 33b of the fitting connecting member 33 are aligned with the first plate-like portion fixing screw-fastening portion 26 and the second plate-like portion fixing screw-fastening portion 27, and the screw holes The screws 34 and 34 are tightened through the through holes 33c 'and 33c' of the upper fitting protrusions 33c and 33c.
At this time, the second connecting portion 33e of the fitting connecting member 33 is inserted into the insertion hole 33f with the outer diameter of the crotch connecting member screwing portion 28 protruding on the upper leg side connecting piece 32c. The sliding contact surface (lower surface) 33e ″ is in contact with the sliding contact surface (upper surface) 32c ′ of the upper leg side connecting piece 32c.
Then, the screw 35 is fastened to the crotch connecting member screwing portion 28 to bring the crotch connecting member 32 into close contact with the notched peripheral surface 25c 'of the upper leg body 25a and the sliding contact surface 33e' of the second connecting portion 33e. Connect.
The astringency of the crotch connecting member 32 is adjusted depending on the tightening degree of the screw 35.
Then, by fitting the fitting recess 29 of the other upper leg main body 25b and the fitting protrusion 33c of the fitting connecting member 33, the one upper leg main body 25a and the other upper leg main body 25b are integrated. Thus, the upper leg 25 is formed.
Thereafter, the lower leg 30 is connected to the first connecting portion 33d located on the lower end side of the upper leg 25.
By forming the upper leg 25 in this manner, the outer surface (skin surface) 24a of the leg portion 24 does not have screws and screw holes as in the conventional case, and a realistic skin feel can be obtained. . Further, the upper leg bodies 25a and 25b can also be freely separated from each other and cannot be separated by bonding or welding as in the conventional case, and can be disassembled as necessary.
