Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Industrial application] The present invention relates to a figurine doll and a method for producing the same, and in particular, it uses hard vinyl chloride and clay as materials to provide an expensive feeling and a unique expression. The present invention relates to a figurine doll and a method of manufacturing the doll, which can be produced efficiently and can be made into dolls having different expressions.

[Conventional technology]

There are various types of dolls that differ in size, shape, and the like depending on the material used for their production and the purpose of use. Among these various dolls, a hollow-molded doll made of hard vinyl chloride is known, and it is often used as a gift because it is relatively inexpensive and suitable for mass production. On the other hand, dolls made of clay are also known, and each of these dolls has advantages and disadvantages.

To further explain this, a doll using hard vinyl chloride is generally molded as follows. First, a basic model (model) of the whole body of the doll is made, and a molding die is molded based on this basic model. Then, using a molding die, a solid hollow doll having a predetermined shape and made of hard vinyl chloride is produced. Then, a predetermined colored pattern such as a hat, clothes, mouth, eyes, and eyebrows is drawn on the entire body including the head and the body on the outer surface of the hollow doll body to complete the production of the doll.

Generally, the head and body of a hollow doll body are molded separately, the face pattern of the doll is drawn on the head, and the clothing pattern is drawn on the body, and then the upper part of the body is formed. It is formed so that the neck portion at the lower end of the head portion is fitted into the hollow hole formed therein, and if it is molded in this way, the manufacturing of the molding die becomes easier.

By the way, a doll manufactured using this kind of hard vinyl chloride is suitable for mass-producing dolls with the same face as described above, but when making dolls with different faces, different faces are used each time. We will make a large number of dolls by making a basic mold and making a molding die based on it. But,
Each die cost is expensive and the manufacturing process also takes a lot of time.
In addition, when the whole body is made of hard vinyl chloride, it is easy to lack a solid feeling and a high-class feeling.

On the other hand, a doll made of clay is manufactured as follows. First, clay is hardened to form a doll having a predetermined shape, and then water is evaporated to dry and cure the doll. In some cases, this is baked at a high temperature, after which the surface of the doll body is painted with a paint that imparts luster and the like, and then the mouth, eyes, eyebrows, and other patterns are drawn in to create the doll's expression. This doll made of clay has a solid feeling and is suitable for figurines, but it is difficult to efficiently produce dolls with complicated and delicate shapes using a mold for molding such as hard vinyl chloride. However, there is a problem that it is difficult to perform blow molding, and thus a large amount of clay is required, resulting in high cost.

[Problems to be Solved by the Invention]

The present inventor has found that the tastes of the individual consumers are diversified in view of the recent tendency of the consumer group, and that each doll also has a face with various personalities. On the other hand, I also found that dolls have a certain degree of solidity and luxury, and when they are displayed in my room, I prefer dolls that will not get tired even if viewed for a long time.

From the above viewpoint, conventional rigid vinyl chloride dolls are suitable for mass production of dolls with the same face, as described above, but they do not have a solid feeling and produce various kinds of dolls with different expressions in small quantities. Unsuitable for On the other hand, I found that the dolls made of clay are the opposite of the above and have a heavy feeling, and it is convenient to make dolls with different faces, but it is very difficult to mass-produce.

As a result of various studies on the doll from the above viewpoint, the present inventor attaches importance to the fact that the face is the most important point for making the doll look different, and only the face is made of clay. It has been found that the intended purpose can be achieved by making the doll's head base and body part from rigid vinyl chloride suitable for mass production.

In other words, the present invention combines the advantages of the rigid vinyl chloride doll and the clay doll to combine the advantages of a solid, high-class doll with different facial expressions. The purpose is to efficiently produce dolls.

[Means for Solving the Problems]

The whole body (base body and body) of the doll according to the present invention is basically made of rigid vinyl chloride and is formed by using a fixed mold. , Occipital surface), and by utilizing the easy-to-work property of this clay, the face of each individual can be freely patterned. The dolls manufactured by such a molding method can be manufactured inexpensively and efficiently with a variety of faces due to the low price of rigid vinyl chloride and clay, respectively. Economic effects (cost reduction) can be obtained.

By the way, as a result of further research conducted by the present inventor, vinyl chloride and clay have different properties and do not adhere to each other. Even if an adhesive was used, perfect adhesion could not be expected, and it was found that the bond between the two was unstable and it did not become a product. Therefore,
As a result of further research, irregularities with a special shape were formed on the surface of the hard vinyl chloride forming the head base, and clay was adhered on top of it and circularly applied over the entire circumference of the head base. It was found that the clay does not move in any direction and does not fall off unless it is cracked when it is put on, dried and cured sufficiently, and that it can be commercialized as a final product.

Based on the above research results, the figurine doll according to the present invention is configured as follows. That is, the head base and the body are hollow-molded from hard vinyl chloride, and the head base is integrally formed with a cylindrical portion, an ear, and a cap that bulge upward. The doll's face contour is formed by clay attached to the outer periphery of the cylindrical portion with a predetermined thickness so that the bottom of the doll is widened and the ruggedness and the body are covered. It is characterized in that a predetermined pattern is displayed on its surface.
The head base and the body may be integrally formed, or may be formed as separate members and then connected to each other at the neck.

In addition, the method for manufacturing a figurine doll according to the present invention is such that a hollow head base body and a body portion are molded from hard vinyl chloride, and the head base body is integrally molded with a hat and an ear portion, and the ear portion is removed. Forming a concavo-convex portion such that the bottom of the concave portion is widened on the outer periphery of the cylindrical portion, so that the concave portion is filled up, a clay of a predetermined thickness is attached to the outside of the concavo-convex portion to form the contour of the doll, After the clay has dried and hardened, apply paint to the surface of the clay, draw a pattern that expresses facial expressions such as mouth, eyes, eyebrows on it, while drawing a predetermined pattern on the body part, and further on the upper end of the body part It is characterized in that an annular edge formed in the lower part of the neck of the head is fitted into the fitting hole formed in the above.

[Action]

In the above figurine doll, by sticking clay so as to fill up the irregularities of the head substrate, the clay bites into the widened portion at the bottom of the recess, so this clay should be removed from the recess after drying and hardening. No, it is completely integrated with the head substrate. Further, the clay is attached in a ring shape, and in this respect also, it does not fall off from the head substrate. In addition, when applying clay, you can freely motif the contour of the face including the chin tension, nose height, eye depression etc. according to the face of the person you want to express, and express it with this doll It is possible to reproduce by capturing the individuality and characteristics of the person who is trying.

〔Example〕

 Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.

1 to 5 show a first embodiment of the present invention.

In each figure, 1 is the body of the doll, and 2 is the head. The head 2 is formed of a head base 3 and a clay 4 attached to the outer periphery of the head base 3. The head body 3 and the body portion 1
Is hollow-molded into a predetermined outer shape using, for example, hard vinyl chloride using a molding die. In the first embodiment, the body portion 1 of the doll is formed by wearing a cardigan with a shirt and a tie, wearing loose trousers, and wearing golf shoes. The fitting hole 5 is formed in the. This body part 1
Is plain when taken out from the plastic molding die, and a paint is applied to the surface of the body portion 1 in a later step, and a necessary pattern such as clothes is colored and displayed on the paint.

In the illustrated example, the head base body 3 is integrally formed with a hat 6 and an ear portion 7, and the other portions except the hat 6 and the ear portion 7 are formed in a cylindrical shape with a slightly widened upper portion. A concave portion 10 and a convex portion 11 are formed on the surface of the cylindrical portion 8.
Then, the clay 4 is coated with a predetermined thickness on the cylindrical portion 8 excluding the ear portion 7 and the cap 6 so as to cover the concave portion 10 and the convex portion 11.
Is adhered, and the contour of the face including the nose and chin is formed by the clay 4.

At this time, since the clay 4 is fitted in the recess 10 as shown in FIG. 4 and is adhered annularly over the entire circumference of the cylindrical portion 8, the clay 4 is adhered to the head base body 3. Be certain. The clay 4 has fine particles, and it is generally preferable to use a mixture of stone powder and pulp kneaded with water as its component.

Further, the recess 10 is formed in the shape of a narrow groove, and
It is formed like a grid in the horizontal direction. Furthermore, this recess 10
Is formed in a V-shaped cross-section so that the bottom of the clay expands so that the clay 4 that has once eaten into the recess 10 does not separate from the recess 10. Will be more reliable.

In this way, the clay 4 is adhered to the head substrate 3 to form the contour of the doll's face, and after a predetermined time, moisture is evaporated from the clay to dry and cure. At this time, the clay 4 contracts slightly and the outer periphery of the head base body 3 made of hard vinyl chloride is tightened, so that both are completely integrated, and distortion of the hard vinyl chloride in each direction can be suppressed.
In this way, after the clay 4 is hardened, the paint is applied to the surface thereof, and then the pattern of the mouth, eyes, eyebrows, etc. is drawn.

When the head 2 is completed in this way, this head 2
The doll is completed by fitting the annular edge 12 at the lower end of the to the fitting hole 5 at the upper end of the body 1. As a doll making order, after the head base body 3 is connected to the body portion 1, the clay 4 may be attached to the head base body 3 and a pattern such as a mouth, eyes, and eyebrows may be drawn.

Moreover, in order to stabilize the figurine doll when it is placed on the reception room or on the desk, it is good to put a weight inside the hollow leg 14 formed at the lower end of the body part 1 if necessary. .

FIG. 6 and FIG. 7 show the second embodiment, in which the shape of the concavo-convex portion formed on the cylindrical portion 8 of the head base 3 is slightly different from that of the first embodiment. That is, in this embodiment, a large number of circular convex portions 15 are formed, and the concave portions 16 are formed between them. Further, the concave portion 16 also has a widened cross-section so that the bottom of the concave portion 16 widens by making the cross-section of the circular convex portion 15 into an inverted conical shape. Therefore, the clay 4 bites into the concave portion 16 as in the first embodiment. At this time, they are not separated from the recess 16 and are completely integrated. The shape of the uneven portion formed on the cylindrical portion 8 of the head base body 3 may be arbitrary, and if the cross-sectional shape of the recessed portion is such that the bottom portion expands into the "C" shape as described above, The shape is not limited to the example, and may be an oval, a triangle, a polygon such as a hexagon, or a wavy shape when viewed from the front. Further, the smaller the cross-sectional shape of each of the recesses 10 and 16, the more the amount of clay 4 used can be minimized, and the cost of the product can be reduced accordingly.
Further, a special adhesive may be supplementarily used between the uneven portions 10, 16, 11, 15 and the clay 4. In the present invention, hard plastics other than hard vinyl chloride may be used.

FIG. 8 is a perspective view of the third embodiment, in which this doll is made in a model of a baseball player, and the head 2 and the body 1 are made in the same manner as in the above-mentioned respective embodiments.

〔The invention's effect〕

According to the figurine doll and the manufacturing method thereof according to the present invention, there are the following effects. That is, in the whole body of the doll, the body part and the head body can be mass-produced with hard vinyl chloride using a mold, and clay is used on the outer peripheral surface of the head body so that only the face part of the doll body is predetermined. Because it can be made to resemble a person, it is possible to make individual dolls with various individual characteristics while saving labor to the maximum. Therefore, it is possible to answer the demand that each person wants to inexpensively manufacture a doll that resembles his own face or the face of a specific person, which is called one person. Moreover, the bond between vinyl and clay, which is originally difficult to bond, has been solved by embedding the clay in a recess formed in the head base body and having a widened bottom. Moreover, since the clay is attached in an annular shape over the entire circumference of the cylindrical part of the head substrate, when the clay hardens, the contraction tightens the cylindrical part, and the vinyl chloride and clay are completely integrated, The distortion of vinyl in each direction can be suppressed. As described above, the present invention effectively manufactures a variety of dolls that are solid, high-class, and rich in individuality, making the most of their advantages by combining hard vinyl chloride, which is originally impossible to bond, and clay well. can do.
