Description

[Detailed description of the device]

[0001]

[Industrial applications]

 The present invention relates to an apparatus for locating parts such as eyes, nose, mouth, etc. so that the dolls all have a uniform expression when manufacturing the dolls.

[0002]

[Prior art]

 For example, when attaching parts such as plastic eyes, nose, and mouth to a stuffed doll, it has been necessary to rely on intuition or to use jigs to determine the attachment position. Therefore, there is a problem that the uniformity of finished products, that is, the uniformity of facial expressions, varies. This is because the positions and angles of parts such as eyes, nose, and mouth must be determined at the same time. In addition to the structure that consists of a shaft and a retaining ring, there are various methods of attaching each component, such as using a thread and a needle, but the same circumstances apply when multiple elements such as position and angle must be determined at the same time.

This problem is particularly remarkable when a two-dimensionally drawn character is reproduced as a stuffed animal. This is because the image that a character formed by animation manga, etc. has will differ greatly depending on the position and orientation of its eyes, nose, mouth, etc., and a slight imbalance in the overall balance. For this reason, in the past, in the case of characters, complicated three-dimensional expressions were avoided and only facial expressions were used to make facial expressions.

[0004]

[Problems to be solved by the device]

 The present invention was made in view of the above points, and the problem is that parts such as eyes, nose, and mouth can be attached without any deviation in position, angle, etc. to enable uniform mass production, and the expression of characters It is to be able to easily reproduce.

[0005]

[Means for Solving the Problems]

 In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, the present invention is provided inside a skin material S that forms the face of a doll, connects the positions where the parts 1, 2, ... Are attached, and is a branch integrally formed as a whole. -Like base material 10 is mounted, and component receivers 11, 12 ... Having a size capable of mounting the respective components 1, 2, ... Are formed at predetermined positions of the base material 10, respectively. While the mounting portion 21 is formed on the back surface of each of the components 1, 2, ..., A mounting partner 22 that can be fitted with the mounting portion 21 is formed on each of the component receivers 11, 12 ,. The means 23 is provided between the mounting portion 21 and the mounting partner 22 for providing the mounting conditions.

【Example】

 A description will be given below with reference to the drawings. The embodiment relates to a device for attaching facial parts 1, 2, 3, 4 consisting of left and right eyes, a nose and a mouth to determine a facial expression.

The eye parts 1 and 2 are bilaterally symmetrical with the so-called black eyes 1a and 2a being inwardly aligned with the white eyes 1b and 2b, and are tilted so as to form so-called droops. The facial expression is characterized by being placed in a state (see FIGS. 3 and 4 (a)). Therefore, the positional relationship around the mounting axis must be positioned so that the above intention can be reproduced. The nose part 3 and the mouth part 4 each have a unique shape and must be positioned so as to occupy a specific position with respect to the eye parts 1 and 2 (Fig. 3).

In order to arrange the parts 1, 2, 3, 4 in the above relationship, the base material 10 is provided inside the skin material S forming the face of the doll.

The illustrated base material 10 has eye component receivers 11 and 12 of a required size for attaching the eye members 1 and 2 at both left and right ends, and extends vertically from the center of the lateral branch 15 which connects them. Since the branch 16 is provided, and the nose component receiver 13 is provided in the middle of the vertical branch 16 and the mouth component receiver 14 is provided at the lower end thereof, it has a substantially T shape as a whole (see FIG. 4A). Each of the component receivers 11, 12, 13, 14 of the base material 10 has an attachment partner 22 formed of a hole penetrating them in the front-rear direction. Therefore, each component receiver 11, 12, 13, 14 is a washer. Take on a shape.

On the other hand, the shaft-shaped mounting portion 21 that can be fitted into the hole of the mounting partner 22 is provided so as to project from the back surface of each component 1, 2, 3, 4. Therefore, by fitting the shaft-shaped mounting portion 21 to the hole-shaped mounting partner 22, the positions of the components 1, 2, 3, 4 can be defined. However, in order to determine the position around the mounting axis of each of the components 1 to 4, the defining means 23 that gives the angle condition is formed between the hole of the mounting partner 22 and the shaft of the mounting portion 21 into which it is fitted. To be done.

The exemplifying defining means 23 is composed of a radial detent projection 23b protruding from the outer surface of the shaft and an engagement groove 23a which engages with the detent projection 23b to define the position around the mounting axis. The positions of the engaging grooves 23a are all one type facing upward, and bulges 25 are formed on the upper portions of the eye part receivers 11 and 12 in order to reinforce the groove portions. At the tip of the shaft-shaped mounting portion 21, a retaining piece 24 that engages with the edge of the hole of the hole-shaped mounting partner 22 is formed. It should be noted that which of the mounting portion 21 and the mounting partner 22 has a shaft shape or a hole shape can be appropriately selected.

The skin material S forming the face of the doll is printed with eyebrows 5, 6, ears 7, 8, hairs 9 and cheek lines 19 as constituent elements of the face or facial expressions other than the above-mentioned parts. Further, through holes 31, 32, 33, 34 for inserting the mounting portion 21 are opened at predetermined positions of the skin material S. It goes without saying that these through holes 31 to 34 are exactly aligned with the attachment partners 22 formed on the base material 10.

In the apparatus according to the present invention thus configured, the base 10 provided inside the skin material S that forms the face is attached to the attachment partners 22 formed at predetermined positions, respectively. By mounting the eyes, nose and mouth parts 1, 2, 3 and 4 by fitting the mounting parts 21, the positions and angles of the eye parts 1 and 2 and the positions and angles of the nose part 3 and mouth part 4 are correctly specified. It can be installed in the installed state.

[0014]

EFFECTS OF THE INVENTION Since the present invention has the above-mentioned contents, parts 1, 2 ... such as eyes, nose, mouth, etc. can be mounted without deviation in position, angle, etc., so that products of uniform quality can be mass produced. In addition, even in the case where the positional relationship between the respective parts is required to be strict, such as a character, it is possible to respond with sufficient accuracy.
