Description

[Detailed description of the invention] Industrial application field The present invention relates to eyeballs for toys such as dolls, animal toys, etc.

BACKGROUND TECHNOLOGY There are two types of eyes for toys such as dolls, animal toys, etc.: those whose pupils are fixed and do not move, and those whose pupils are formed so that they move according to the movement of the toy. . The invention described in Utility Model Publication No. 12-8605, in which the eyes are formed so that they move according to the movement of the toy, is excellent in that it enriches the facial expressions of dolls, animals, etc. However, depending on the position of the eyeballs, the facial expressions may look extremely unnatural. The disadvantage of this is that because the small pupils are stored in the large storage chamber that makes up the eyeballs, the pupils may move up and down unnaturally within the storage chamber, making them look like real humans.
This results from the fact that the pupil position and movement are significantly different from those of animals.

In addition, in order to eliminate this unnatural feeling,
A device described in Publication No. 309 has been proposed. However, in this design, the pupils are directly exposed through the exposure openings in the exterior body, so the pupils tend to fall off to the outside, causing powder loss, dust entering through the exposure openings, and tampering. It has the drawback that it is not only susceptible to contamination due to manual contact, but also easily causes damage. Furthermore, since this device covers the upper and lower portions of the pupil from the outside at the edge of the exposure opening of the exterior body, the pupil does not become round, resulting in an extremely unnatural eyeball. This is extremely undesirable in the eye of a toy that emphasizes aesthetic taste.

Problems that the invention attempts to solve This invention attempts to solve the above-mentioned problems, and by regulating the position of the eyes relative to the eyeballs, it allows toys such as dolls and animals to have richer changes in facial expressions. The purpose is to enable natural eye expression without making it look unnatural, and to prevent the pupil from detaching from the eye and becoming powdery or being contaminated by dust.

In this specification, words indicating directions such as left and right and up and down are based on the case where an eyeball is placed on a toy and the toy is placed in an upright position.

Means for solving the problems In order to solve the problems mentioned above, the present invention
A pupil storage chamber is protruded horizontally in the horizontal direction from a pupil substrate made of a transparent material, and the surface is closed, and the pupil body has a diameter slightly smaller than the internal dimensions of the pupil storage chamber in the vertical direction. By storing the pupil body, the pupil body is located in the pupil storage chamber so that it can move in the horizontal direction but cannot move in the vertical direction, and the back side of the pupil substrate that protrudes from this pupil storage chamber is fixed to the white of the eye substrate. At the same time, the surface of the pupil substrate is covered with an exterior body for adjusting the shape of the eyeball, and an exposure opening is opened in the exterior body to expose the pupil storage chamber.

Function Since the idea is constructed as described above,
When toys such as dolls and animals are placed in an upright position,
The pupil body is housed in a horizontally elongated pupil storage chamber, and although it can move in the left and right direction, it cannot move in the vertical direction, which may cause the pupil to move unnaturally or The toy won't turn away, and if you hold the toy and tilt it or turn it sideways, the eyes will move left and right in the horizontally elongated pupil storage chamber, allowing for a rich variety of expressions. Since the pupil is always located on the line in the horizontal direction of the eyeball, the pupil can be moved without any unnaturalness.

In addition, since the pupil storage chamber is made of a transparent material and has a closed surface, the pupil body will not be contaminated or damaged by dust from the outside, contact by humans or mischief, etc. To prevent the pupil body from falling off from the pupil storage chamber and to ensure natural movement of the pupil body within the pupil storage chamber. In addition, the back side of the pupil board on which the pupil storage chamber is provided is fixed to the white of the eye board, and the surface of the pupil board is covered with an exterior body for adjusting the shape of the eyeball, so that the pupil storage chamber does not protrude from the pupil board. Even if the eyeballs are placed in different shapes, the entire shape of the eyeballs can be arranged naturally, which is preferable for toy eyeballs where the design element is important. In addition, since this exterior body has an exposure port that exposes the pupil storage chamber, the pupil body can be easily seen through from the outside, and the pupil body can be viewed through the exposure port while it is stored in the pupil storage chamber. Because of this, it is possible to see the entire pupil body from the outside, which satisfies the sense of taste in design, and further improves the sense of taste by appropriately coloring or decorating the exterior body. It is something.

Embodiment An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. Reference numeral 1 denotes a pupil body, which is formed in a circular shape and is housed in a pupil storage chamber 2 having an oblong shape in the left and right directions, and is movable in the left and right directions. The diameter of the pupil body 1 is made slightly smaller than the internal dimension of the pupil storage chamber 2 in the vertical direction so that the pupil body 1 can move in the vertical direction but cannot move in the vertical direction. By forming the dimensional relationship between the pupil storage chamber 2 and the pupil body 1 in this way, when the toy 3 such as a doll or animal is placed in an upright position, the circular pupil body 1 moves only in the left and right direction. Because it does not move vertically,
The eyes do not move unnaturally or look up or down. In addition, if the toy 3 is tilted or laid down by holding it, the pupil body 1 can move in the left and right direction within the pupil storage chamber 2, allowing the pupil body 1 to change its expression richly. is always located on the left-right direction line of the eyeball 4, so the movement of the pupil body 1 can be performed without any unnaturalness.

Further, the pupil storage chamber 2 having a laterally elongated shape in the left-right direction is formed to protrude from a pupil substrate 5 made of a transparent material, and the back surface of the pupil substrate 5 is fixed to the white of the eye substrate 6 with an adhesive or the like. Since the pupil storage chamber 2 is formed of a transparent material and its surface is closed, the pupil body 1 is not contaminated or damaged by dust from the outside, contact by hand or mischief, etc. The movement of the pupil body 1 in the pupil storage chamber 2 can be carried out reliably without causing the pupil body 1 to fall off from the pupil storage chamber 2.

Further, the surface of the pupil substrate 5 is covered with an exterior body 7 for adjusting the shape of the eyeball, and an exposure opening 8 for exposing the pupil storage chamber 2 is opened in the exterior body 7. By covering the surface of the pupil substrate 5 with the exterior body 7 in this way, even if the pupil storage chamber 2 protrudes from the pupil substrate 5, the entire shape of the eyeball 4 can be arranged naturally, which improves the design. This is preferable for toy eyeballs that place emphasis on elements. Also, by exposing the pupil storage chamber 2 from the exposure opening 8 of this exterior body 7,
The entire pupil body 1 can be easily seen through from the outside, satisfying the sense of taste in design, and the sense of taste can be further improved by appropriately coloring or decorating the exterior body 7. be.

Effects of the invention Since the invention is constructed as described above, the pupil does not move unnaturally or face up or down, and it also prevents the toy from tilting or falling on its side. For example, the pupil bodies can move along the left and right lines of the eyeballs, allowing for rich changes in facial expressions, and this movement of the pupils can be done without any unnaturalness.

In addition, by closing the surface of the pupil storage chamber, the pupil body inside the pupil storage chamber will not be contaminated or damaged by dust from the outside, human contact or mischievous contact, etc. The pupil can be moved reliably within the pupil storage chamber without falling out of the pupil storage chamber, and the surface of the pupil board can be
By covering the eye with an exterior body, the entire shape of the eye can be naturally arranged, which is preferable for eyeballs for toys where design elements are important. In addition, since the exterior body has an exposure opening, the entire pupil body stored in the pupil storage chamber can be easily seen through from the outside, and the exterior body can be colored as appropriate. The sense of taste can be further improved by adding decorations or decorations.
