Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION (Field of Industrial Application) The present invention relates to a doll head and a manufacturing method thereof.

(Prior art and its problems) Conventionally, heads for dolls of this type are made of synthetic resin such as soft vinyl chloride resin, and the facial expression remains unchanged, but this can be changed using fingers, hands, etc. I couldn't do that.

(Problems to be Solved by the Invention) The present invention has been made in view of the above-mentioned viewpoints, and it is possible to change the facial expression by pinching the cheeks or pinching and pulling the lips. The technical challenge is to propose a head body for dolls that can be made and a method for manufacturing it.

(Technical means to solve the problem) As a technical means to solve the above problem,
The head body for a doll according to the present invention is composed of a head and a face, and is characterized by having the following requirements.

(a) The head shall be made of synthetic resin such as vinyl chloride, and an engaging recess shall be formed in the front part.

(b) A face formed of a foamed material such as foamed resin or foamed rubber is engaged and fixed in the engagement recess.

Furthermore, the method for manufacturing a doll head according to the present invention is characterized by comprising the following steps.

(a) After putting a synthetic resin material inside the head molding mold, the mold is heated and rotated to adhere the resin material to the inner surface of the mold, and then the mold is cooled. to shape the head.

(b) Molding the face using foamed material such as foamed rubber or foamed resin inside a mold for molding the face.

(c) A face part is engaged and fixed to the front part of the above head part to form a doll head body.

(Operations and Effects of the Invention) As configured above, the doll head according to the present invention has a face molded from a foam material in the engagement recess provided in the front part of the head made of synthetic resin. Since it is formed by engaging and fixing, it provides the appropriate amount of elasticity to the face, allowing you to freely change facial expressions by pinching your cheeks with your fingertips, pushing up or down the corners of your eyes, etc. You can enjoy playing by changing it.

Further, according to the method for manufacturing a doll head body according to the present invention, a face portion molded from a foam material is polymerized and fixed to a head molded by slush molding, rotation molding, etc. Therefore, the doll head having the above-described structure can be easily molded at low cost.

(Example) Hereinafter, an example of an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

In FIG. 1, reference numeral A indicates a doll head.
This doll head body A has a head 1 made of synthetic resin such as vinyl chloride, and is fixedly engaged with an engaging recess 2 formed in the front part of the head 1 through an adhesive. Ears 3 made of foam material such as foam rubber or foam resin
3a and 3a. A neck hole 4 is bored in the bottom of the head 1, and a fitting hole 4 is formed in the inner peripheral surface of the neck hole 4.
A is provided around the area. Further, the surface of the face 3, the eyes 5, 5, and the mouth 6 are colored.
The doll head body A is attached to a neck part 8 integrally formed at the upper part of the doll body part 7, as shown in FIG. In this case, a fitting protrusion (not shown) is formed on the outer circumferential surface of the neck portion 8 to correspond to the fitting hole 4a formed in the inner circumferential surface of the neck hole 4 of the head 1. This ensures a secure attachment. Reference numeral 9 indicates hair implanted on the head 1.

As mentioned above, the doll head A has a face part 3 made of a foamed material that is fixedly engaged with an engaging recess 2 provided on the front side of the head part 1 made of synthetic resin using adhesive. Since the face part 3 is shaped like this, appropriate elasticity can be obtained in the face part 3, and play can be enjoyed by freely changing the expression of the face part 3 by pinching the cheeks with the fingertips or raising and lowering the corners of the eyes.

Next, a method for manufacturing the doll head A will be described.

First, FIG. 3a shows a method for molding the head 1, in which synthetic resin material is poured into the mouth 16 of the mold 15, the mouth 16 is closed with a cap 17, and the support member 18 is then closed. is pressed down and sealed by the elastic force of spring 19. Then, this mold 15 is heated and rotated to apply the synthetic resin material to the inner surface 15.
After adhering to a, the head 1 is obtained by cooling and pulling out from the mold 15. At this time, the front surface of the head 1 is molded so that an engagement recess 2 is formed therein.

In addition to slush molding, the head 1 can also be obtained by rotation molding.

Figure b shows the method of molding the face part 3.
A foamed material such as foamed rubber or foamed resin is injected into the corresponding molded uneven surfaces 21 and 21a formed on the opposing surfaces of the molds 20 and 20 using a plunger, etc., and molded to have appropriate elasticity. A face part 3 is obtained.

Next, as shown in FIG. 3C, the face part 3 is engaged and fixed in the engagement recess 2 on the front surface of the head 1 with adhesive.

The doll head body A can be manufactured through the above steps. According to the above manufacturing method, the manufacturing process is simple, so the doll head A can be manufactured at low cost.

Note that hair may be implanted in the head 1 as necessary, or a wig may be used. Also,
The surface of the face part 3 and the eyes are colored.
