Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Industrial field of application] The present invention relates to an eye activity device for giving different expressions to a doll.

[Prior Art and Its Deficiencies] Conventionally, in order to change the expression of a doll, various eye patterns are drawn on the outer circumference of a cylindrical body corresponding to the left and right eyes, and a ratchet wheel or a gear wheel is attached on the connecting shaft of the cylindrical body. A means for applying a predetermined amount of rotational force in a predetermined direction to the gear by pushing a part of the body of the doll on the other side, It is known from Japanese Utility Model Publication No. 38-28875 and Japanese Utility Model Publication No. 50-4062.

[Technical problem to be solved] However, in the former, not only is the structure of the device complicated and it is not easy to install it in the hollow head, but the tip of the operating member protruding from the crown is However, the cap may be exposed due to removal, and the hard cap or actuating member may cause injuries such as infants who use dolls, so there is also a problem in terms of integrity. Also, the latter one has a mechanism extending from the body to the head for transmitting and converting the movement of the doll's body to a predetermined amount when the body of the doll is pushed. Is not easy, and since the direction of the doll's head (neck) cannot be changed arbitrarily, there is the problem of getting bored.

In view of the above points, the present invention displays various eye patterns by rotating the eyeball in a doll head made of a soft synthetic resin material so that an infant using a doll is not injured. It is an object of the present invention to allow the device to be easily and robustly mounted in the hollow head.

[Means for Solving the Problems] In order to achieve the above object, according to the present invention, the eyeball activity device for a doll comprises a hollow head portion connecting an upper half portion and a lower half portion. The half part is molded with a soft synthetic resin material so as to be depressed by pressing down the top of the head, and the lower half part has a fitting part for fitting and connecting the upper end part of the neck of the doll to the inside of the bottom part thereof and the fitting thereof. On the face side of the support part formed on the upper part of the part and having a hole that opens upwards,
A pair of bearings that are separated from each other on the left and right sides and a reverse rotation prevention piece having a claw protruding from the face side in the direction between the bearings are integrally molded, and the bearing has left and right sides with a plurality of types of eye patterns drawn on the outer circumference. A rotatably supporting a rotating shaft for connecting the eyeballs, and the reversal prevention piece corresponds to any one tooth of a gear fixed to the rotating shaft between the bearings, A transmission rod, which is lowered when the top portion of the upper half portion is pressed down, is inserted into the hole of the portion so that the transmission rod can be moved up and down, and a spring for urging the transmission rod at all times is accommodated. Is provided with an actuating rod that applies a predetermined amount of rotational force in a predetermined direction to the gear as the transmission rod descends.

[Operation] The head portion is coupled to the neck portion at the fitting connection portion and is rotatable with respect to the neck portion. Further, since the fitting connection portion has an appropriate composition, the support portion and the bearing portion are solid. Therefore, the transmission rod is firmly supported and the connecting portion of the eyeball is supported in a stable state.

When the top of the head is pushed down once, the transmission rod is lowered against the spring, and the actuation rod rotates the gear in a predetermined direction by a predetermined amount, so that the pattern of the other eyes of the eyeball appears outside the eye. When the pushing down of the crown is stopped, the transmission rod and the actuating rod are returned by the spring, but the reverse rotation of the gear is prevented by the reverse rotation preventing piece.

[Embodiment of the Invention] Next, the invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

The head 1 of the doll according to the present invention, as shown in FIG.
It is formed hollow. In the illustrated example, the rotating means described later is mounted in the head part 1. Therefore, in order to facilitate the mounting, the head part 1 has an annular dividing line continuous from the forehead upper part to the occipital part. And is divided into upper and lower parts along a line, and is composed of an upper half part 1A and a lower half part 1B. When the crown of the doll's body, which is a part of the body, is depressed, it is made of a synthetic resin material having flexibility such as vinyl chloride resin so as to be depressed as shown in FIG.

In addition, after mounting the internal member described later, the upper half 1A
In order to facilitate the coupling between the lower half 1B and the lower half 1B and to prevent the separation at the time of pressing, an annular shape made of a hard synthetic resin inside either one of the abutting surfaces of the upper half and the lower half. By fitting and joining the frame 2 of No. 2 and fitting and joining the portion protruding from the opening of the frame 2 to the other opening,
The upper half and the lower half are connected.

Inside the lower half portion 1B, as shown in FIG. 4, an eyeball combination EC in which a pair of left and right eyeballs 3l and 3r are connected by a rotation axis 4 on a line connecting the centers thereof is connected to the rotation axis 4. It is rotatably supported by a pair of left and right bearings 5 provided inside the nose of the face.

Each eye 3l, the outer peripheral surface of 3r, circumferentially about the axis of the rotating shaft 4 at equal intervals, the eye pattern E ₁ to E ₈ having a plurality of types of facial expressions as illustrated in FIG. 5 is drawn Has been.

In FIG. 5, (a) is an eye with both eyes closed, (b) is an eye with only the left eye open, (c) is an eye with both eyes open, and (d) is an oblique eye. In the case of the illustrated example, since there are four types, the respective patterns are shifted by 90 ° from each other.

The head 1 is also provided with a rotating means 100 for rotating the eyeball by a predetermined angle. The predetermined angle is an angle at which one of the patterns stops at a position corresponding to the eye hole on the face of the doll by one pressing operation, and in the illustrated example having four patterns, the predetermined angle is 90.
°.

The configuration of the rotating means will be described with reference to the illustrated example. A protrusion, which is one of the components of the rotating means, is provided at the center of the rotating shaft 4.
101 are radially provided at intervals of 90 ° in the circumferential direction of the rotating shaft. Any protrusion 101 _{1 to} 101 ₄
Also, an inclined surface or a curved surface is formed at the front portion in the rotation direction of the tip.

Further, in front of the bearing 5, there is provided a reverse rotation preventing piece 102 which extends forward of the projection and has elasticity, and an inner side surface of the reverse rotation preventing piece is slightly larger than the projection 101 in a horizontal state. A reverse rotation preventing claw 103 is formed on the upper side so as to project slightly rearward of the rotation surface of the protrusion 101. As a result, each protrusion abuts its claw in the horizontal state and is prevented from freely rotating.

However, when a downward force is applied to the protrusion 101 existing on the side opposite to the claw 103 (on the left side in FIG. 1) with respect to the rotary shaft 4, the inclined surface or the curved surface of the top surface of the tip end of the projection abutting the claw 103 causes the action. Since the reverse rotation preventing piece 102 elastically moves forward, the rotary shaft 4 can rotate.

A support portion 105 having a hole 104 that opens upward is provided in the lower center of the head portion 1 behind the bearing 5, and the lower end portion of the transmission rod 106 is vertically inserted into the hole 104 of the support portion.
The lower end of the coil spring 107 wound around the lower end of the transmission rod 106 is received by the bottom of the hole 104, so that the transmission rod is always held in a state of being urged upward.

At the upper end of the transmission rod 106, a pressure receiving portion 106A is provided so that the force can be reliably applied to the transmission rod when a force is applied from the outside of the doll head.

Further, an operating rod 108, which is an obliquely penetrating transmission rod, is swingably supported by a shaft 109 on the upper portion of the transmission rod. A push claw 110 is provided at the lower end of the actuation rod, and a spring 112 inserted in a bottomed groove 111 provided at the upper end of the actuation rod has a transmission rod 106.
And push the claw 110 against the eyeballs 3l, 3 at all times.
Among the protrusions connected to r, it is located right above the rear protrusion 11 in the horizontal state.

On the back of the transmission rod 106, just below the upper end of the actuation rod 108,
A protrusion 113 is provided which limits the rotation of the actuation rod by the spring 112. The protrusion 113 also has a space 115 between a pair of left and right guide members 114 extending upward from the upper surface of the rear portion of the support portion 105.
Exists above and also serves as a guide member when the transmission rod is pushed down together with these guide members.

In this way, when the top of the doll is pushed down with a fingertip or the like, the transmission rod 106 is moved downward at the same time as the depression of the upper half 1A thereof, and the push claw 110 at the lower end of the operating rod 108 is moved downward accordingly. As shown in FIG.
For pressing the _3, the rotary shaft 4 is rotated, since the horizontal projections 101 ₁ of the front is moved upward by pressing the reverse rotation preventing piece 102 at the front, left and right eyeballs 3l, 3r is rotated upward. As the rear projection further rotates, the inclination angle of the projection increases, so that as shown in FIG.
Rotate around 09 to compress the spring 112. Then, when the rotation shaft 4 is rotated by 90 °, the pattern 5 next to the eyeball is seen in the eye hole of the doll and can be seen outside.

When the pushing force is removed from the top of the doll in this state, the upper half 1A is restored as shown in FIG.
Is returned upward by the coil spring 107. In this case, since the operating rod 108 is swingable, the pushing claw 110 is the protrusion on the rear portion.
Even if it comes in contact with 101, the front projection is pressed by the reverse rotation preventing piece 102 and does not easily reverse, and if the pushing claw 110 moves above the rear projection, the restoring force of the spring 112 is increased. This returns to the initial position shown in FIG.

In this way, each time the user presses the crown, which is a part of the doll's body, each eyeball 3l, 3r rotates by 90 ° through the transmission rod 106, the actuation rod 108, the protrusion 101, and the rotation shaft 4. However, one of the eye patterns drawn on the outer peripheral surface of the eyeball faces the outside of the eye, so that the facial expression of the doll can be sequentially changed. Since the facial expressions of the eyes are changed in a predetermined order, the desired facial expressions of the eyes can be expressed by the number of times the head is pushed.

[Effects of the Invention] As described above, according to the present invention, the device for rotating the eyeball can be easily and firmly mounted in the hollow head, and the upper half of the head is soft. Therefore, it is safe for infants and the like, and the head is rotatable with respect to the neck.
