[Industrial applications]

 The present invention relates to a toy such as a doll, in which a movable part such as a head or hands or feet is swung by a mainspring of a drive device housed in a base part or a driving force of a motor or the like.

[0002]

[Prior art]

 For example, in a stuffed toy doll in which the head, which is the movable part, performs a swinging motion by the rotation of the bending shaft that protrudes from the body, which is the base part, because the head receives the rotational force from the bending shaft. However, there is a situation in which only the head tends to be in an unnatural state in which the head is turned in a direction different from that of the torso, for example, it is turned back and forth. Therefore, in the past, the cloth that forms the stuffed toy outer skin was applied to the neck between the torso and the head with a certain tension so that the head does not face in a different direction from the torso. However, since the tension applied to the cloth resists the swinging motion of the head, there is a drawback that the operation does not work smoothly.In addition, the swinging motion of the head causes repeated tension on the cloth on the neck. However, there was a drawback that the cloth was eventually fatigued and broke and the life was short.
