BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a method for manufacturing the arms and legs of a so-called soft doll, which are molded into hollow shapes from soft synthetic resin.

0002

[Prior Art] Conventionally, an arm portion 1A of a so-called soft doll,
As shown in FIG. 5, the 1B and the legs were formed one by one by slush molding of soft synthetic resin. Each of these parts was manufactured by covering the non-colored parts with a paint mask that tightly adhered to them, painting the colored parts in a predetermined color, and then cutting off unnecessary parts with a cutter or the like. The arms and legs thus manufactured were rotatably attached to a hollow body integrally formed by slush molding of soft synthetic resin, and the doll was assembled.

[Problems to be Solved by the Invention] However, according to the above-mentioned conventional manufacturing method for doll arms, etc., the arm parts are formed one by one by slash molding, and then painted one by one by covering them with a painting mask. Therefore, the work efficiency was poor, especially since the work was done manually, which caused the problem that it was difficult to improve productivity. Especially this kind of doll toys,
Due to the low price, it was necessary to reduce the manufacturing cost of the arms, but the painting masks were small and required skill and time to install, and separate painting masks were prepared for the left and right arms. Therefore, there was a problem in that the manufacturing cost of the arm portion was higher than necessary. Furthermore, since the left and right arm parts were painted separately, there was the problem that the colors were different. Further, when cutting unnecessary parts with a cutter or the like, the unnecessary parts, which are not normally sold as products, are usually held by hand, but the work is dangerous because the unnecessary parts are small.

[0004] A similar problem exists in the method of manufacturing doll legs.

The present invention has been devised in view of the above-mentioned problems, and provides a method for manufacturing doll arms that increases work efficiency, improves productivity, lowers manufacturing costs, and allows safe work, and a method for manufacturing doll legs. The object of the present invention is to provide a method for manufacturing a part.

[0006]

[Means for Solving the Problems] The method for manufacturing doll arms of the present invention consists of the following steps. That is, (a) the first step of integrally molding the left and right arm parts of the doll and the connecting part connecting them by slush molding of soft synthetic resin. (b) A second step of covering the non-colored parts of the left and right arms formed in the first step with a mask and coloring the left and right arms at the same time. (c) The third step consists of separating the left and right arm portions colored in the second step from the connecting portion.

The method for manufacturing doll legs of the present invention comprises the following steps. That is, (a) a first step of integrally molding the left and right legs of the doll and the connection part connecting them by slush molding of soft synthetic resin. (b) A second step of covering the non-colored parts of the left and right legs formed in the first step with a mask and coloring the left and right legs at the same time. (c)
The third step consists of separating the left and right legs colored in the second step from the connecting portion.

[0008]

[Operation] Since the method for manufacturing the doll's arms includes the steps described above, in the first step, the left and right arms of the doll and the connecting portion connecting them are integrally molded by slush molding of soft synthetic resin. Next, in a second step, a mask is placed on the uncolored portions of the left and right arms formed in the first step, and the left and right arms are colored simultaneously. Thereafter, in a third step, the left and right arms colored in the second step are separated from the connecting portions, so that the left and right arms of the doll can be manufactured almost simultaneously.

[0009] The method for manufacturing the legs of a doll consists of the steps described above, so that in the first step, the left and right legs of the doll and the connecting portion connecting them are integrally molded by slush molding of soft synthetic resin. Next, in a second step, a mask is placed over the non-colored parts of the left and right legs formed in the first step, and the left and right legs are colored simultaneously. Thereafter, in the third step, the left and right legs colored in the second step are separated from the connecting portions, so that the left and right legs of the doll can be manufactured almost simultaneously.

DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 shows a molded part 1 for a doll's arm that has been pulled out of a soft synthetic resin slush molding mold in a first step during the manufacture of the doll's arm. The electroforming mold used for the slush molding of the molded part 1 includes the molded part 1.
As is clear from the figure, an annular groove 12 for attaching to the trunk is formed separately for the right arm part 11 and the left arm part 21.
, 22 and engaging shafts 13, 23 are formed, and a connecting portion 31 which also serves as a substantially Y-shaped injection port is formed integrally with these engaging shafts 13, 23. The molded part 1 molded by this electroforming mold is then processed into the right arm part 11 and the glove 14 of the left arm part 21 of the molded part 1 in a second step.
, 24, an electroforming mold using the molded part 1 as a master is duplicated in advance, and this electroforming mold is used to color the non-colored parts 15 excluding the gloves 14, 24.
, 25 is formed. FIG. 2 shows a state in which the mask 4 is placed over the molded part 1 from both sides to cover the non-colored parts 15 and 25, and the coating equipment A is used to paint the molded part 1 in the second step. As shown in the figure, since the right arm part 11 and the left arm part 21 are integrally formed via the connecting part 31, it is possible to color the gloves 14 and 24 of the right arm part 11 and the left arm part 21 at the same time using one mask 4. can. As a result, both gloves 14, 24 are colored in substantially the same hue. After that, the mask 4 is removed from the molded part 1 that has been colored in the second step, and in the third step, as shown in FIG.
The right arm part 11 and the left arm part 21 are separated from the connecting part 31 using scissors or the like. Right arm part 11 and left arm part 2 manufactured in this way
1 is attached to a separately formed hollow body part 5, as shown in FIG. 4, and each is rotatably attached.

Similar to the above embodiment, the right leg 61 and the left leg 7
1 can be manufactured and attached to a separately formed body part 5 as shown in FIG. That is, in the first step, the right leg part 61 and the left leg part 71 are formed as a part by slush molding of a soft synthetic resin, which are connected at a connecting part. Similarly, in the second step, a mask is placed over the non-colored parts 62, 72 of the right leg 61 and left leg 71, and the parts corresponding to the boots 63, 73 are colored. Thereafter, the mask is removed, and in a third step, the right leg 61 and the left leg 71 are separated from the connecting portion using a cutter, scissors, etc. while holding the connecting portion. The right leg part 61 and left leg part 71 manufactured in this way are attached to the separately formed hollow body part 5, as shown in FIG. 4, and are respectively rotatably attached.

[Effects of the Invention] According to the method for manufacturing doll arms according to the present invention, the left and right arms are integrally connected at the connecting portion by slush molding of soft synthetic resin, so that after this molding, When performing the coloring process, the non-colored parts of the left and right arms can be covered with one mask, and both arms can be colored simultaneously in a connected form. As a result, the coloring of the left and right arms becomes uniform, while the number of painting masks is reduced and simplified, and the number of painted parts can be reduced, increasing work efficiency and productivity. As a result, there is an effect of lowering manufacturing costs. Additionally, the connecting parts make it easier to hold the parts, and the left and right arms can be safely separated.

[0013] Also, the method for manufacturing doll legs of the present invention has the same effects as described above.
