Also, the same or similar configurations are denoted by the same reference numerals, and redundant explanations are omitted.

<Appearance of doll-type toy>
First, an example of the external configuration of a doll-type toy 100 according to this embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS. 1A and 1B. FIG. 1A shows the exterior front of the doll-type toy 100. FIG. FIG. 1B shows the exterior side of the doll-type toy 100. FIG. The vertical, horizontal, and forward/backward arrows indicate the directions of the doll-type toys in the drawings, and the same applies to other drawings.

A doll-type toy (doll body) 100 includes a head 101, a chest 102, arms 103a and 103b, an abdomen 104, a waist 105, and legs 107a and 107b. The doll-type toy 100 is a movable doll-type toy such as a movable figure, and each part can be moved within a range of restricted areas generated in relation to other members. The head 101 is connected to the chest 102 by a spherical connecting member (hereinafter also referred to as a ball joint). An arm portion 103 including a right arm 103a and a left arm 103b is further connected to the chest portion 102 by a spherical connecting member, and an abdomen 104 is connected to the lower portion. A detailed configuration of the chest will be described later. A waist 105 is connected to the abdomen 104 . A leg portion 107 including a right leg portion 107a and a left leg portion 107b is connected to the waist portion 105, and is covered with an outfit such as a skirt.

In addition, below, the upper body including the head 101, the chest 102, and the arm 103 is called an upper body. Also, the lower body including the waist 105 and the legs 107a and 107 is referred to as the lower body. The upper body and lower body are connected via the abdomen 104 . Also, the chest 102, abdomen 104, and waist 105 are collectively referred to as a trunk. Below, a chest joint structure of the chest 102 and a shoulder joint structure in which the arm 103b is connected to the chest 102 by a spherical connecting member (ball joint) will be described as movable structures according to the present embodiment. However, there is no intention to limit the present invention, and the movable structure described below is not limited to chest joints and shoulder joints, but other joints such as hip joints, elbow joints, and knee joints that connect legs. It is also possible to apply to parts.

<Structure of waist>
Next, with reference to FIG. 2, the detailed configuration of the waist portion 105 of the doll-type toy 100 according to this embodiment will be described. FIG. 2A is an exploded perspective view of the chest 102, the abdomen 104, and the waist 105. FIG. FIG. 2(b) is an exploded view of the waist 105 including the waist and hip joints and part of the legs 107a and 107b.

As shown in FIG. 2A, the waist part 105 is connected to the abdomen (fourth part) 104 by a spherical connecting part (ball joint). That is, the waist joint according to the present embodiment is a ball joint that movably connects the waist 105 to the abdomen 104 . However, it is not intended to limit the invention, and instead of the spherical connecting portion, other shaped connecting portions may be employed.

As shown in FIG. 2(b), the waist portion 105 includes at least a plurality of parts 201-204. A part 201 is a part (first part) that serves as a base of a plurality of movable mechanisms. Part 202 (second part) is rotatably connected to part 201 . The part 202 constitutes part of the waist of the doll-type toy 100 and part of the clothing. Therefore, in the doll-type toy 100 according to the present embodiment, a part of the waist and a part of the clothing can be axially movable independently of other moving mechanisms and other parts. The part 202 is further connected to a part 204 that expresses the buttocks of the doll-type toy 100 and the skirt that is part of the clothing. Therefore, the part 204 will also move in accordance with the rotation of the part 202 .

Each of the parts 203 a and 203 b is connected in sequence to a cylindrical portion formed at one end of the part 201 . Thereby, the hip joint of the doll-type toy 100 is formed. Part parts 205a and 205b of legs 107a and 107b are further connected to parts 203a and 203, respectively.

In this way, by connecting the part 201, which is the base of a plurality of movable mechanisms, to other parts, the movable mechanism of the part 202 (first movable mechanism), the hip joint movable mechanism (second movable mechanism), and the hip joint is realized (third movable mechanism). As a result, various operations can be realized with a small number of parts. For example, the part 201 is rotatably connected to the part 202, and the hip joint functions around a cylindrical connecting portion formed at one end of the part 201 as an axis. A part 204 representing an outfit or the like is connected to the part 202, and parts 205a and 205b of the legs 107a and 107b are connected to the hip joints. In other words, when the part 201 rotates with respect to the part 202, the legs 107a and 107b connected via one end of the part 201 can also move together. This makes it possible to achieve more natural movements and various poses. Details of the operation will be described later.

<Detailed configuration of multiple movable mechanisms>
Next, detailed configurations of the plurality of movable mechanisms of the doll-type toy 100 according to the present embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS. 3 and 4. FIG. FIG. 3(a) shows a perspective view of a part 201 according to this embodiment. FIG. 3(b) shows the assembly configuration of the first movable mechanism according to this embodiment, and FIG. 3(c) shows an example of the operation of the first movable mechanism according to this embodiment.

As shown in FIGS. 3A and 3B, near the center of the part 201, a connecting portion (first connecting portion) 312 having a receiving portion for receiving the part 202 is connected to the parts 203a and 203b. and a connecting portion 311 connected to the abdomen 104 . On the other hand, the part 202 has a connecting portion (first connecting portion) 321 connected to the connecting portion 312 and a clothing portion 322 forming part of the clothing of the doll-type toy 100 . The connecting portion 321 is provided with two cylindrical portions 321a and 321b. On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 3A, the connecting portion 312 is formed to match the shape of the cylindrical portions 321a and 321b. Therefore, the two cylindrical portions 321a and 321b are inserted so as to sandwich the receiving portion of the connecting portion 312, and the part 202 is rotatably assembled to the part 201. As shown in FIG.

As shown in FIG. 3C, the part 202 is rotatable relative to the part 201 in the direction of the arrow around the cylindrical portions 321a and 321b as rotation axes. The rotational movement is possible within the spatial limits of other parts. By this rotating motion, the part 204 representing the buttocks and skirt of the doll-type toy 100 connected to the part 202 can also be rotated together with the clothing part 322 .

4(a) and 4(b) show the assembly configuration of the second movable mechanism according to this embodiment, and FIG. 4(c) shows an example of the operation of the second movable mechanism according to this embodiment. .

As shown in FIG. 4A, the parts 203a and 203b have ring-shaped connection portions 331a and 331b at one end and cylindrical connection portions 332a and 332b at the other end. First, the part 203 b is connected to the part 201 . Specifically, the cylindrical (or bar-shaped) connecting portion 313 is inserted and connected to the ring-shaped connecting portion 331b. The part 205b of the leg portion 107b is further connected to the cylindrical (or bar-shaped) connecting portion 332b of the part 203b.

As shown in FIG. 4B, the part 203b is rotatable in the direction of the arrow with respect to the part 201 with the connecting portion 313 as the rotation axis. Accordingly, the leg portion 107b connected to the part 203b also rotates in the direction of the arrow. A part 203a is further connected to the part 201 to which the part 203b is connected. Specifically, the cylindrical connecting portion 313 is inserted and connected to the ring-shaped connecting portion 331a. The part 205a of the leg portion 107a is further connected to the cylindrical (or bar-shaped) connecting portion 332a of the part 203a.

As shown in FIG. 4(c), the part 203a is rotatable with respect to the part 201 in the direction of the arrow with the connecting portion 313 as the rotation axis. The leg portion 107a connected to the part 203a also rotates in the direction of the arrow. Thus, the hip joint of the doll-type toy 100 according to this embodiment is formed by the part 201 and the parts 203a and 203b, and the legs 107a and 107b connected to the parts 203a and 203b rotate the connecting portion 313 of the part 201. It can rotate as an axis. Note that the legs 107a and 107b are further provided with additional movable mechanisms. Details will be described later with reference to FIG.

Also, as is clear from FIG. 3(c), the connecting portion 313 is formed with a certain degree of inclination downward of the doll-type toy 100. As shown in FIG. This is for realizing a motion similar to that of a human hip joint. From the human hip joint, the left leg and the right leg respectively extend obliquely downward, not laterally. Therefore, by forming the connecting portion 313 with an inclination similar to that of a human being, it is possible to realize a motion with a more natural impression. For example, the hip joint according to this embodiment can move obliquely downward. That is, the parts 203a and 203b connected to the connecting part 313 and the legs 107a and 107b connected to the parts can also be rotated diagonally downward or diagonally upward as the returning direction.

<Movable mechanism of legs>
Next, referring to FIG. 5, a moving mechanism for the leg connected to the hip joint according to the present embodiment will be described. FIG. 5(a) shows an exploded view of a part 205a of the leg 107a. FIG. 5(b) shows a sectional view of the state where the parts 203a and 205a are connected. The structure of the movable mechanism of the right leg will be described with reference to FIG. 5, but the structure of the left leg is the same, so the description will be omitted.

As shown in FIG. 5A, the part 205a of the leg 107a further includes parts 341-344. The part 341 is a base part of the part 205a, and the spherical part 342 and the connection part 332a of the part 203a are connected at the upper receiving part. That is, by assembling the connecting portion 332a of the part 342 and the part 203a, it functions as a spherical connecting portion (ball joint). By forming the ball joint with two parts, the part 342 and the part 203a, it is possible to secure the space necessary for assembling the doll-type toy 100 compared to the case where it is realized with one part. .

As shown in FIG. 5B, the part 203a and the part 342 are assembled to form a ball joint, which is provided inside the leg 107a. Therefore, the leg portion 107a connected to the part 205a can rotate in all directions as indicated by the arrow 501 within the limits of the other parts with respect to the hip joint. Also, the lower cylindrical portion of the part 341 is rotatably inserted into the concave portion of the part 344 . Therefore, in the leg portion 107 a , the portion below the part 344 can rotate in the direction of the arrow 502 with respect to the part 341 .

<Movement of the lower body>
The operation of the lower body according to the present embodiment will be described below with reference to FIGS. 6 and 7. FIG. FIG. 6 shows a cross-sectional view of the body section taken along the line AA' in FIG. 1A.

The part 201 is a connecting member that connects the abdomen 104 and the waist 105, and is assembled together with the connected parts to have at least four movable mechanisms indicated by arrows 601-604. Movement in the direction of arrow 601 indicates that part 201 can move in the vertical direction of doll-type toy 100 from abdomen 104 connected to connecting portion 311 formed in a spherical shape. As a result, the part 201 and the waist 105 connected to the part 201 can be displaced downward from the abdomen 104 to create a space between the abdomen 104 and the waist 105 . This space is for securing a space when moving in the directions of arrows 602 to 603, for example, and has the effect of widening the range of motion.

Arrow 602 indicates that part 202 is rotatable in the vertical direction of doll-type toy 100 with respect to part 201, as described using FIG. Since the operation has already been explained, details thereof will be omitted. Arrow 603 indicates that parts 203a and 203b are rotatable in the vertical direction of doll-type toy 100 with respect to part 201, as described using FIG. Since the operation has already been explained, details thereof will be omitted.

An arrow 604 indicates that the abdomen 104 is rotatable in all directions within the range of spatial restrictions imposed by other parts. This is because the connecting portion 311 of the part 201 is formed in a spherical shape. Thus, the hip joint according to this embodiment can perform at least the four motions described above. By combining these four motions, the doll-type toy 100 according to this embodiment can realize various motions in a wider range of motion with fewer parts.

An example of the operation of the doll-type toy 100 according to this embodiment will be described below. FIG. 7 shows a sitting posture in which the legs 107 (the parts 205a of the legs 107a) are rotated forward.

First, as indicated by an arrow 701, the part 201 is drawn downward. As a result, various parts of the waist portion 105 and the leg portion 107 connected to the part 201 are pulled out downward at the same time. Subsequently, as indicated by an arrow 702, the parts 203a and 203b can be rotated obliquely downward (for example, 18 degrees) with respect to the connecting portion 313 of the part 201. As shown in FIG. At this time, the legs 107a and 107b also move away from the upper body of the doll-type toy 100 in the same manner. Therefore, a gap is generated between the legs 107 and the upper body around the buttocks of the doll-type toy 100, and the body line of the doll-type toy 100 is interrupted, giving an unnatural impression.

Therefore, according to this embodiment, the part 202 can be further rotated downward (for example, 20 degrees) with respect to the part 201 as indicated by the arrow 703 . As a result, since the parts 202 form a part of the waist and a part of the clothing, it is possible to follow the movements of the legs 107 and to make the body lines look smooth.

Furthermore, as indicated by an arrow 704, a ball joint (342) formed by the parts 205 and 203 allows the leg 107 to rotate upward (eg, 95 degrees). By operating in this manner, it is possible to achieve a sitting position with the leg portion 107 rotated forward. Note that the order of the operations described above is not intended to limit the present invention, and the operations can be performed in any order.

As shown in FIG. 7, when the waist portion 105 and the leg portions 107b are rotated forward to move to the sitting posture, the line from the back to the buttocks of the doll-type toy 100 (indicated by the dotted line) is smooth and natural. The rotation operation can be performed with a strong impression. It should be noted that since the hip joints move obliquely, it is also possible to easily take a posture such as crossing the legs 107a and 107b.

As described above, the model toy (100) according to this embodiment includes a plurality of movable shafts each having a first connecting portion (312) having a receiving portion and a second connecting portion (313) formed at one end. a first part (201) serving as the base of the second part (202) having first connecting portions (321a, 321b) rotatably connected to the receiving portion of the first connecting portion; and a third part (203a, 203b) having at one end a second connecting portion (331a, 331b) rotatably connected to. Further, the first connecting portion and the first connecting portion form a first movable mechanism of the toy model, and the second connecting portion and the second connecting portion form a second movable mechanism of the toy model including a movable shaft different from the first movable mechanism. A movable mechanism is formed. As a result, the present invention can provide a mechanism that realizes a plurality of movable mechanisms with a smaller number of parts, for example, in a model toy. Moreover, the present invention can provide a mechanism for realizing a movable mechanism that operates with a natural impression.
