Description

[Detailed description of the invention] This invention relates to stuffed animals such as dogs, cats, and other four-legged animals.

Stuffed animals, which are used as pet toys, have improved significantly in recent years due to significant improvements in manufacturing technology, and have become products that are more beautiful and cute than living creatures. Since it is a product, it has a shape determined only by the shape of the outer cover and the amount of filling material, and it is not possible to change the shape or maintain the changed shape, and there was dissatisfaction in this point.

Based on the above-mentioned viewpoint, the present invention provides a stuffed animal that can freely change and maintain the changed appearance.The rod is the axis of the body, and blocks are provided at both the front and rear ends of the rod. A radial friction joint consisting of a circular member having horizontal short shafts protruding left and right symmetrically, a circular member attached to the left and right outer ends of these horizontal short shafts, and a movable circular member fitted to the circular member via a friction member. , an arm shaft and a leg shaft protruding from the outer circumferential surface of the circular member of each radial friction joint, and a head-supporting friction universal joint formed on a block provided on the front end side of the rod, and a spherical portion provided therein; This is a stuffed animal toy that has a built-in skeleton consisting of an arm shaft attached to the tip of the arm through a thrust friction joint that is oriented horizontally in the axial direction.

Next, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

Fig. 1 shows a partially removed side view of an embodiment of the proposed stuffed animal, Fig. 2 shows a partially removed side view of one mode of change in appearance, and Fig. 3 shows a skeleton. is shown in a plan view in an expanded state.

The stuffed animal 1 of the present invention is a stuffed animal whose outer cover 2 is filled with stuffing (not shown), and has a sophisticated appearance, but is no different from the conventional stuffed animal in this respect.

The present stuffed animal 1 has a structure that is completely different from conventional stuffed animals in that it has a skeleton 3 in addition to the outer cover 2 and the stuffing, and the characteristics of the skeleton 3 allow it to change its appearance and maintain its changed appearance. It is a feature.

The outer cover 2 is made of natural fibers, synthetic fibers, or chemical fibers, and if necessary, it is brushed.
The hair is flocked and sewn into a shape that matches the body shape and appearance of a predetermined living animal (for example, a dog or cat).

On the other hand, fillings include natural fibers or synthetic fiber waste yarn, sponge-like soft materials, panya, cotton, cotton-like materials, etc.
A material that is easy to express the body shape and appearance of the animal and that does not easily lose its shape shall be selected.

The skeleton 3 has the same plastic blocks 5 at both front and rear ends of a plastic rod 4 that serves as the body axis.
6 are integrally molded.

Plastic transverse short shafts 7, 7, 8, 8 are provided symmetrically on the left and right side surfaces of the blocks 5, 6, respectively.

The short horizontal axes 7 and 7 are of equal length, and the short horizontal axes 8 and 8 are slightly longer than the short horizontal axes 7 and 7, and are of equal length to each other.

Plastic radial friction joints 9 are attached to the outer ends of the short horizontal shafts 7 and 8, respectively.

The radial friction joint 9, as shown in an enlarged plan view with a portion cut out in FIG.
and a circular member 9C fitted through a friction member 9B.

The friction member 9B is, for example, a rubber O-ring,
If an external force is applied, the circular member 9C will move around the circular member 9A.
can be rotated, but as it is, circular members 9A and 9C
Assume that there is a frictional force that maintains the relative position of .

An arm shaft 10 is provided on the outer circumferential surface of the circular member 9C of the radial friction joint 9 on the side of the short horizontal shafts 7, 7 so as to project outward in the radial direction. Legs 11 are provided on the outer peripheral surface of the circular member 9C to protrude radially outward.

Furthermore, plastic arm shafts 13 are attached to the tips of the arm shafts 10, 10 through thrust friction joints 12, respectively.

The arm tip shaft 13 faces in the same direction as the arm shaft 10, and in this embodiment, it is formed integrally with the plastic base joint piece 12A of the thrust friction joint 12 and the plastic tip joint piece 12B of the plastic tip joint piece 12B. The arm shaft 10 is inserted into the hole 14 of the base joint piece 12A.
It is inset and glued.

The thrust friction joint 12 is shown in a partially cutaway enlarged plan view in FIG.
A, the tip joint piece 12B, and a female threaded hole 15a passing through the bracket-like protrusions 12C and 12D of both.
This shaft pin 15 is made of Pustikku and attached.
It consists of a bolt 16, a plastic washer 17, and a spring washer 18, which are screwed from the opposite side to the projecting part 1.
2C and 12D are brought into frictional contact by the elastic pressing force of a spring washer 18.

Tightening bolt 16 and spring washer 18
If an external force is applied, the elastic force of the protrusions 12C and 12
Although the relative contact position of D can be changed, it is designed to be strong enough to remain in the same state as long as no external force is applied.

On the other hand, the block 5 is provided with a head support friction joint 21 consisting of a spherical part 19 integrated with the block 5 and a plastic block 20 that holds the spherical part 19 and makes frictional contact with it. This allows for free movement of 1A.

Since the present invention has the above-mentioned configuration, when the circular member 9C of the radial friction joint 9 of the skeleton 3 is rotated, the arm shaft 10
Alternatively, the leg shaft 11 is rotated and the direction of the arms and legs changes.

Furthermore, the tip joint piece 1 of the thrust friction joint 12
When 2B is rotated, the arm tip axis 13 relative to the arm axis 10
rotates and changes direction.

Furthermore, the head support friction universal joint 21 allows the direction of the head 1A to be changed freely.

By the action of each of these joints, the present stuffed animal 1 can change its posture in various ways, and since each joint is a friction joint, it is possible to maintain the changed posture in the same state.

Instead of rotating the head and limbs at the connection part of the torso to change the pose like in conventional stuffed animals, this design uses the skeleton of the stuffed animal as a rod that acts as the body axis. The blocks at both front and rear ends are integrally formed, the horizontal short shaft is protruded from the block, and radial friction joints are attached to the outer ends.
The arm shaft and leg shaft are attached to the circular member, and the arm shaft is attached to the arm shaft via a thrust friction joint, so each part can be bent smoothly like a joint, and it is easier to use than conventional products. It has excellent advantages, such as being able to change its appearance more realistically and retaining the changed appearance, making it extremely adorable.
