DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS A decorative doll according to the present invention is shown in FIG.
And a doll fixed on a turntable 17 as shown in FIG. A plurality of barbells having different lengths are arranged near the doll, and the barbell has the center of curvature of the rotation center of the turntable 17 as shown in FIG. Each bar bell 33 is attached to the turntable 17
Are arranged at the same distance from the center of rotation.

Further, in this doll, a drive mechanism for swinging a sword 37 held in a hand is incorporated in the inside of the torso 11, and
A rotating mechanism (not shown) rotates the turntable 17 in the horizontal direction. The rotation of the turntable 17 changes the direction of the doll in small increments in the horizontal direction, and a plurality of barbells at equal distances from the center of rotation of the turntable 17. 33 makes it possible to hit 33 with a collision.

When playing music, it is only necessary to rotate the turntable 17 so that the decorative doll faces the predetermined stick 43 and actually hits the bar 37 against the stick 33 to produce a sound. Alternatively, the player may perform an operation of hitting the wooden bar 37 on the decorative body having the shape of the barbell 33 and play music by playing music of the barbell recorded on a melody IC or a compact disc.

In this doll, a torso 11 is formed by integrally fitting a front body and a rear torso, and a head 21 is attached to the torso 11. Also, this head 21
A shaft portion 25 having a short columnar shape is provided at the lower end of 23, and the shaft portion 25 is inserted into a through hole 15 formed in the body neck portion 13 to attach the head 21 to the body portion 11.

Further, the outer diameter of the support shaft 25 is adjusted to the body neck 13
The diameter of the through hole 15 is slightly smaller than the diameter of the through hole 15 so that when the head 21 is attached to the body 11, a slight gap is formed around the support shaft 25. As described above, since the outer diameter of the support shaft portion 25 is smaller than the diameter of the through hole 15 and the head 21 is attached to the body portion 11 in a loosely fitted state, when an external force is applied to the head 21 of the doll. The head 21 will shake.

An enlarged portion 27 is provided at the lower end of the support shaft portion 25 to prevent the support shaft portion 25 from falling out of the through hole 15 even if the support shaft portion 25 is supported by the through hole 15 in a loosely fitted state. , And the shaft part 25
The lower end of the neck 23, which is the periphery of the torso, has a flat shape, and a flat portion having a flat shape is also formed on the upper surface of the periphery of the through hole 15 formed in the torso neck portion 13, so that the head 21 is normally stably upright. I am trying to do it.

Further, the torso 11 of the doll has a through-hole 15 formed in the torso neck 13 as a shape having an extended back, and is positioned behind the position of the rotation axis L of the turntable 17 which is the center of rotation of the doll. At the same time, the position G of the center of gravity of the head 21 is also located behind the rotation axis L. Therefore, if the direction of this doll is rotated by the turntable 17 in accordance with the music, and the doll is stopped in small increments so as to sequentially face different sticks 33, external force due to inertia is applied to the head 21 by rotation and stop. In addition, the head 21 can be tilted slightly right and left for a moment to perform an operation of tilting the neck.

A small protrusion is provided on the outer periphery of the support shaft portion 25, and a concave portion is formed in a part of the through hole 15 to engage with the small protrusion.
The front of 21 and the front of the torso 11 are prevented from shifting. In addition, in order to prevent the front of the head 21 and the front of the body 11 from being shifted, the head 21 does not rotate with respect to the body 11 by making the support shaft 25 and the through hole 15 oval or polygonal. Sometimes we do.

Further, in order to make the rotation of the decorative doll a natural movement, not only the case where the bar bell 33 is arranged around the doll but also a plurality of bells and bells are arranged as a decorative body, Sometimes the doll is turned to face the body. Further, when rotating the decorative body doll, not only the case where the doll is fixed to the turntable 17 but also the case where the doll is attached to a rod-shaped rotating shaft so as to be rotatable.

As described above, in the decorative body doll which is rotatable in the horizontal direction, the position of the center of gravity G of the head 21 is shifted from the rotation axis L of the doll, and the head 21 is allowed to move with respect to the body 11. Although the decorative body doll attached as a fitted state has a simple structure, when rotating and stopping the doll, the head 21 is instantaneously tilted to the left and right, and performs a movement such as tilting the neck to show a natural movement This makes it possible to provide a doll suitable for a decorative body forming a stage such as a decorative clock.

The present invention is not limited to a decorative clock, but can be used as a decorative doll that forms a stage for gathering eyes by the doll. Further, if the lower end of the neck 23 of the doll is set as a plane, the head 21 can be used. It is possible to easily realize a natural operation with a simple structure while stably holding it.

[0019]

According to the first aspect of the present invention, in a decorative doll that can be rotated in the horizontal direction, the center of gravity of the head is shifted from the rotation axis of the doll, and the head is attached to the torso. It is a decorative doll to be attached in a loose fit state. Therefore, when the doll is rotated and stopped, the head can be instantaneously tilted right and left and the neck can be tilted to show a natural movement.

According to a second aspect of the present invention, the lower end of the doll's neck is a flat surface, and the support shaft is projected downward from the flat surface, and the through hole provided in the body neck of the doll is provided with the through hole. This is a decorative doll whose size is slightly larger than that of the head and whose head is loosely fitted to the trunk. Therefore, normally, the head can be stably held, and the operation of tilting the neck when rotating and stopping can be easily performed.
