Hereinafter, embodiments will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. It should be noted that the following embodiments do not limit the invention according to the claims, and not all combinations of features described in the embodiments are essential to the invention. Two or more of the plurality of features described in the embodiments may be arbitrarily combined. In addition, the same or similar configuration will be given the same reference number, and duplicated explanations will be omitted. Further, in each drawing, the up / down / left / right front / back directions with respect to the paper surface are used as the up / down / left / right front / back directions of the parts (or parts) in the present embodiment in the explanation in the text.

First, FIG. 1 shows an example of the appearance of the doll toy corresponding to the present embodiment. FIG. 1 is a schematic diagram showing a simplified appearance of the doll toy 100 according to the embodiment. The doll toy 100 has model parts of a head portion 110, a body portion 111, an arm portion 112, a waist portion 113, and a leg portion 114, and these are connected to each other. At least a portion of the individual sites 110-114 is rotatably (or rocked) supported with respect to adjacent sites. For example, the head portion 110 is rotatably supported with respect to the body portion 111, and the arm portion 112 is rotatably supported with respect to the body portion 111, tilted forward, and tilted backward. Further, the leg portion 114 is rotatably supported with respect to the lumbar portion 113. The leg portion 114 is further provided with a knee joint, and the above-knee portion and the below-knee portion can be rotated so as to be bent. In this way, joint structures are provided in each portion of the doll toy 100, and the user (for example, the owner of the doll toy 1) can put such a doll toy 100 in a desired posture. Although omitted in FIG. 1, one or more decorative parts can be attached to the doll toy 100. The decorative parts can also be configured in the same manner as the model parts of the doll toys described in the present embodiment. Decorative parts include, for example, weapons such as swords and guns, armor such as shields, and the like.

Further, the doll toy corresponding to the present embodiment may be configured by stacking the body portion 111, the arm portion 112, the leg portion 114, and the like. In the conventional doll toy, a structure is adopted in which a part (which may consist of one part or a combination of two parts) when assembling the parts is sandwiched between the other two parts. However, with this configuration, if you assemble the other two parts without sandwiching one part, in order to sandwich the certain part, you have to disassemble the two assembled parts and insert the other part again and assemble. It doesn't become. On the other hand, in the case of the stacked structure, the parts are connected to each other by fitting, engaging, etc., and pinching is not required, so that the problem of forgetting to pinch does not occur. Also, in the case of a stacked structure, it is not possible to assemble without parts in the middle, so there is no need to forget the parts. The parts to be stacked may be configured as a single part, or may be configured by combining a plurality of parts.

In the present specification, when explaining the positional relationship of each part, front (front), rear (rear), left (left side), right (right side), top (upper), lower (lower), etc. Although it may be described, these expressions are relative to the doll toy 1. For example, the front corresponds to the front side of the doll toy 100, and the rear corresponds to the back side of the doll toy 100.

In the present embodiment, each model part constituting the doll toy 100 can be made of a thermoplastic resin such as ABS. Further, a material other than ABS (polyethylene, polystyrene, thermosetting resin, etc.) may be used. Further, each model part may be composed of an internal part made of ABS or the like and an external part made of a metal material covering the outside of the internal part. The external parts are basically not directly connected to each other, and by connecting the external parts to the internal parts, the relative positions of the plurality of external parts are determined via the same internal parts. When the external parts are bonded to each other, they may be bonded in advance by a sintering process. The external parts can be composed of, for example, an alloy in which titanium, aluminum, and the rare earth yttrium are mixed. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and at least a part of the combination may be different, or all of them may be different types of alloys, or may be a single metal such as aluminum.

Next, with reference to FIG. 2, a specific configuration example of the model part of the leg 114 will be described. FIG. 2A is a diagram showing an example of the configuration of the side surface of the leg portion 114. The leg portion 114 is composed of a plurality of members, and the members related to the configuration of the present embodiment will be described below. First, the above-knee member 201, which is the first member, is connected to the below-knee member 202, which is the second member in the knee joint, and is configured to be rotatable so that the knee joint bends. The left and right sides of the knee joint are covered with a cover member 203, which is a third member, and the connecting portion is shielded from the outside. A protrusion member 204, which is a fourth member imitating a vernier, is rotatably connected to the knee joint. Vernier is used as a general name for injection devices, and in particular, refers to an auxiliary device for attitude control of spacecraft. FIG. 2A shows only the state of the left side surface, but a similar cover member 203 is attached to the right side surface as well.

FIG. 2B is an enlarged view showing the knee joint portion of the leg portion 114, showing a state in which the cover member 203 is removed. When the cover member 203 is removed, five protrusions are arranged. Of these, the protrusion 201A constitutes a part of the above-knee member 201. Further, the protrusion 204A constitutes a part of the protrusion member 204. The protrusions 205A to 205C form a part of the fixing member 205 which forms a part of the knee member 202. These five protrusions are coupled to the recesses on the back surface of the cover member 203 to fix the cover member 203. Further, on the surface of the fixing member 205, an alignment mechanism 205F for partitioning the protrusions 205A to 205C and the notches 205D and 205E is formed, and the alignment mechanism 205F attaches the cover member 203 to the fixing member 205. Facilitates alignment when mounting. The alignment mechanism 205F has a convex structure formed so as to partition the protrusions 205A to 205C and the notches 205D and 205E. It can also be called a protrusion or a partition.

Further, the protrusions 201A and 204A are only detachably engaged with the fixing member 205 in the absence of the cover member 203, and the above-knee member 201 and the protrusion 204 can be easily removed from the fixing member 205. Can be removed. Therefore, when it is desired to paint these parts after assembly, they can be easily disassembled, applied with a desired coating, and then reassembled. By connecting the protrusions 201A and 204A to the cover member 203, the arrangement is fixed and the members 201 and 204 can be stably rotated, respectively.

FIG. 2C shows an example of the structure of the back surface of the cover member 203. The recesses 201A', 204A', 205A', 205B', and 205C' indicate recesses that are connected to the protrusions 201A, 204A, 205A, 205B, and 205C of FIG. 2B, respectively. The cover member 203 is fixedly attached to the below-knee member 202 by connecting each protrusion and each recess. Although there is one recess to which a reference number is not assigned, the recess is used to connect to 205B on the right side surface opposite to the left side surface shown in FIG. 2 (A). That is, the right side surface of the leg portion 114 is configured symmetrically with FIG. 2 (B).

Next, with reference to FIG. 3, the individual configurations of the members constituting the knee joint will be described. FIG. 3A shows an example of the configuration of the below-knee member 202. The below-knee member 202 is configured to include the fixing member 205, and the fixing member 205 is formed with protrusions 205A to 205C and notches 205D and 205E. The notch 205D engages the protrusion 201A of the above-knee member 201, and the notch 205E engages the protrusion 204A of the protrusion 204. A slight protrusion is formed on the contact surface of the notch 205D and 205E with the protrusion, and the protrusion makes it difficult for each protrusion engaged with the notch to come off. An example of the configuration of the convex portion is shown by enlarging the area surrounded by the dotted line in FIG. 3 (A).

Next, FIG. 3B shows an example of the configuration of the above-knee member 201. The above-knee member 201 has a protrusion 201A, and by engaging the protrusion 201A and the notch 205D, the above-knee member 201 and the below-knee member 202 rotate with the protrusion 201A as a rotation axis. Connected movably. This rotational movement can express the flexion of the knee joint. Further, FIG. 3C shows an example of the configuration of the protrusion member 204. The protrusion 204 has a protrusion 204A, and by engaging the protrusion 204A and the notch 205E, the protrusion 204 is rotatably connected to the fixing member 205 with the protrusion 204A as a rotation axis. Will be done.

Structures such as the notches 205D and 205E shown in FIG. 3 are generally called "C-shaped receivers", but when the rotating shafts such as the protrusions 201A and 204A are to be held only by the C-shaped receivers, While it has the advantage of being easy to assemble and disassemble, the force may escape in the opening direction and the connection between the members may be weakened. In particular, when the member is large or the component arranged on the lower side is heavy, it may be difficult to maintain the posture after rotation. Therefore, in the present embodiment, the cover member 203 is used to hold the protrusions 201A and 204A engaged with the notches 205D and 205E. Each member constituting the knee joint shown in FIG. 3 may be configured as a single member or may be a combination of a plurality of members.

FIG. 4 is a diagram showing an example of a cross section of the leg portion 114 in a state where the cover member 203 is attached to the member below the knee member 202. The cross section is set to pass through the connecting portion between the protrusion 201A and the recess 201A'. In the cross section shown in FIG. 4, the contact between the notch 205D and the protrusion 201A is secured only on the lower side, not on the upper side. However, the recess 201A'is formed so as to surround the outer periphery of the protrusion 201A, and the width of the contact portion is sufficiently secured. In this way, the protrusion 201A is temporarily fixed by the notch 205D of the C-shaped receiver, and then completely enclosed by the recess 201A'.

As a result, when the above-knee member 201 and the below-knee member 202 are rotated, they can be stopped at an arbitrary position and a frictional force can be generated so as to maintain the posture. Further, since the connection between the cover member 203 and the fixing member 205 is also supported by the other four connections, even when the above-knee member 201 and the below-knee member 202 are rotated, the cover member 203 and the cover member 203 are connected. The connection with the fixing member 205 is not disconnected.

In FIG. 4, only the relationship between the protrusion 201A and the recess 201A'is shown, but the relationship between the protrusion 204A and the recess 204A'is the same.

As described above, according to the present embodiment, when the first member (above the knee member 201) and the second member (below the knee member 202) constituting the joint mechanism are connected, the protrusion of the first member is formed. The joint mechanism is covered with a cover member having a plurality of recesses to which a plurality of protrusions including the protrusions are connected, while being configured to be received by a C-shaped receiver of the second member. This makes it possible to maintain an arbitrary posture after assembling the knee joint while facilitating the assembly and disassembly of a plurality of members.

The invention is not limited to the above embodiment, and various modifications and changes can be made within the scope of the gist of the invention.
