Description

Leketøyfigur eller dukke. Toy figure or doll.

Denne oppfinnelse vedrbrer generelt en leketbyfigur eller dukke og hensikten er å skaffe en sådan leketbyfigur eller dukke som har bevegelige ledd som meget nær simulerer de bevegelige deler av det menneskelige legeme. Et annet formål er å skaffe en leketbyfigur eller dukke som barn kan kle i forskjellige drakter og der-etter bringes 1 en av mange varierte stillinger som folge av figurens bevegelige konstruksjon. Et videre formål med oppfinnelsen er å skaffe en leketbyfigur eller dukke av den nevnte type,som er således konstruert at i hovedsaken alle dens deler kan frem-stilles av formplast, og en sådan figur hvor det ikke er nbdven-dig med fjærer for å bibeholde delene i et innbyrdes fjærende forhold. Endelig er det en hensikt å skaffe en leketbyfigur av den nevnte type, som har en ny og forbedret konstruksjon av de be vegelige ledd for å muliggjbre at figurens bevegelige deler fastholdes ved friksjon i enhver valgt og ndnipulert stilling, samt å tilveiebringe et nytt og forbedret svivelledd som er egnet til bruk i konstruksjon av en leketbyfigur eller dukke av foreliggende type. This invention generally relates to a toy figure or doll and the purpose is to provide such a toy figure or doll which has movable joints which very closely simulate the movable parts of the human body. Another purpose is to provide a toy figure or doll that children can dress up in different costumes and then be brought into one of many varied positions as a result of the figure's movable construction. A further object of the invention is to provide a toy figure or doll of the aforementioned type, which is constructed in such a way that essentially all its parts can be produced from molded plastic, and such a figure where springs are not necessary to maintain the parts in a mutually resilient relationship. Finally, it is an aim to provide a toy city figure of the aforementioned type, which has a new and improved construction of the movable joints to enable the movable parts of the figure to be retained by friction in any selected and manipulated position, as well as to provide a new and improved swivel joints which are suitable for use in the construction of a toy city figure or doll of the present type.

Alle disse og andre formål med oppfinnelsen oppnås ved All these and other objects of the invention are achieved by

at leketbyfiguren eller dukken i oppfinnelsen har den utformning som angitt i de etterfølgende patentkrav. that the toy town figure or doll in the invention has the design specified in the subsequent patent claims.

Oppfinnelsen skal forklares i det folgende under hen-visning til tegningene, på hvilke fig. 1 viser i perspektiv en leketoyfigur eller dukke konstruert ifblge oppfinnelsen, fig. 2 viser et forstorret frontriss av samme, delvis i snitt, fig. 3 viser et vertikalsnitt av hodeenheten, fig. k viser et snitt etter linjen k - h på fig. 2, fig. viser et delsnitt av en endret leddkonstruksjon, fig. 6 viser i perspektiv og med delene adskilt, en fot- og ankelerihet som utgjor en del av konstruksjonen, fig. 7 viser i perspektiv en forbindelsestapp og fig. 8 viser i forstorret målestokk en endret fot- og ankelenhet med delene adskilt og delvis i snitt. The invention will be explained in the following with reference to the drawings, in which fig. 1 shows in perspective a toy figure or doll constructed according to the invention, fig. 2 shows an enlarged front view of the same, partly in section, fig. 3 shows a vertical section of the head unit, fig. k shows a section along the line k - h in fig. 2, fig. shows a partial section of a modified joint construction, fig. 6 shows in perspective and with the parts separated, a foot and ankle unit which forms part of the construction, fig. 7 shows in perspective a connecting pin and fig. 8 shows on an enlarged scale a modified foot and ankle unit with the parts separated and partly in section.

Fig. 1 og 2 viser en leketbyfigur eller dukke 10 med en hodeenhet 12, en hul brystkurvdel 1^, en hul hoftedel 16, ben 18 og armer 20. Alle disse deler er fortrinnsvis fremstilt av formplast, hvorav en hvilken som helst egnet type kan benyttes, men det er funnet at et materiale som har praktisk talt de samme egenskaper som polyethylen, er spesielt egnet for oppfinnelsen. Det vil imidlertid forståes at andre egnede materialer, f.eks. gummi eller tre, også kan finne anvendelse ved fremstilling av disse deler. Figures 1 and 2 show a toy figure or doll 10 with a head unit 12, a hollow chest part 1^, a hollow hip part 16, legs 18 and arms 20. All these parts are preferably made of molded plastic, of which any suitable type can is used, but it has been found that a material which has practically the same properties as polyethylene is particularly suitable for the invention. However, it will be understood that other suitable materials, e.g. rubber or wood, can also be used in the production of these parts.

Av fig. 3 fremgår det at hodeenheten 12 omfatter et halsstykke 22 som fortrinnsvis er av formplast og som har et i hovedsaken massivt, avrundet nedre parti 2h med en radial sliss 26 som strekker seg oppad fra den undre overflate. Partiets 2h ovre overflate skråner innad, som vist ved 28, og går over i en sirkulær flens 30. På denne måte samvirker den skrå overflate 28 og flensen 30 til å avgrense et ringformet spor 32, hvis funksjon vil bli beskrevet nedenfor. Over flensen 30 er der anordnet en annen sirkulær flens 3h som sammen avgrenser et annet ringformet spor 36. Over flensen 31* er halsstykket utstyrt med et antall radiale, oppadrettede vinger 38 for å lette stbpingen og danne en indre bæredel for det hule hode *f0 som nå skal beskreves. Hals stykket 22 opptar fjærende og losbart et hult hode 4-0 som fortrinnsvis er fremstilt av stopt gummi eller plast, og har en åpning 4-2 ved sin nedre del, hvilken åpning avgrenses ved to adskilte, innadrettede, ringformede fremspring 4-4- og 4-6 som er bestemt til å gripe inn i sporene 32 og 36. Inngrepet mellom frem-springene 4-4- og 4-6 henholdsvis sporene 32 og 36 tjener til å From fig. 3 it appears that the head unit 12 comprises a neck piece 22 which is preferably made of molded plastic and which has an essentially solid, rounded lower part 2h with a radial slot 26 which extends upwards from the lower surface. The upper surface of the part 2h slopes inwards, as shown at 28, and passes into a circular flange 30. In this way, the inclined surface 28 and the flange 30 cooperate to define an annular groove 32, the function of which will be described below. Above the flange 30, another circular flange 3h is arranged which together delimits another annular groove 36. Above the flange 31*, the neck piece is equipped with a number of radial, upwardly directed wings 38 to facilitate stpping and form an internal support part for the hollow head *f0 which will now be described. Neck piece 22 resiliently and releasably accommodates a hollow head 4-0 which is preferably made of stuffed rubber or plastic, and has an opening 4-2 at its lower part, which opening is delimited by two separate, inwardly directed, ring-shaped protrusions 4-4- and 4-6 which are intended to engage in the grooves 32 and 36. The engagement between the protrusions 4-4 and 4-6 respectively the grooves 32 and 36 serve to

holde hodet 4-0 fast på halsstykket 22, men samtidig tillate at det kan dreies i forhold til halsstykket. Hvis det av noen grunn onskes å fjerne hodet fra halsstykket 22, kan dette gjbres, en-skjbnt det kreves et forholdsvis kraftig trekk for å utfore denne adskillelse. keep the head 4-0 firmly on the neck piece 22, but at the same time allow it to be rotated in relation to the neck piece. If for some reason it is desired to remove the head from the neck piece 22, this can be done, although a relatively strong pull is required to carry out this separation.

Som best sees i fig. 2 og 3 er halsstykkets 22 nedre parti 2<*>+ svivelaktig montert i en innfatning 4-8 formet i den ovre del av brystkurven 1*+ som på sin side ved sin nedre ende har en kule-lig'nende forlengelse 50 som svivellignende opptas i den hule hoftedel 16. Som det vil sees er innfatningen 4-8 og den kulelignende forlengelse 50 utstyrt med åpninger 52 henholdsvis 54-. Hoftedelen 16 er åpen ved sin ovre ende for å oppta forlengelsen 54-, fig. 2 og har ved sin nedre ende to åpninger 56 som på svivellignende måte opptar to kuler 58 som hver har en boring 60 som forloper vertikalt gjennom kulene og som fortrinnsvis konvergerer mot hver kules 58 sentrum, som forklart senere. As best seen in fig. 2 and 3, the neck piece 22's lower part 2<*>+ is mounted swivel-like in a frame 4-8 formed in the upper part of the chest curve 1*+ which in turn has a ball-like extension 50 as swivel-like at its lower end is accommodated in the hollow hip part 16. As will be seen, the frame 4-8 and the ball-like extension 50 are equipped with openings 52 and 54 respectively. The hip part 16 is open at its upper end to receive the extension 54-, fig. 2 and has at its lower end two openings 56 which, in a swivel-like manner, accommodate two balls 58, each of which has a bore 60 which extends vertically through the balls and which preferably converges towards the center of each ball 58, as explained later.

De nevnte kuler 58 er hver svivellignende opptatt i en hul lårdel 62 med en gjennom samme tverrgående tapp 64-. En lignende tapp 66 er fort gjennom det avrundede nedre parti 24- av halsstykket 22 på tvers av slissen 26.i samme. For å holde alle de foran beskrevne deler fjærende samlet, er der anordnet en stiv forbindelsesdel 68 med kroker 70 og 72 ved. sine motstående ender. Som det sees av fig. 2 og 3 strekker kroken 70 seg oppad i slissen 26 og griper om tappen 66, mens kroken 72 opptar en flettet elastisk snor Jk som er fort gjennom brystdelen 14-, hoftedelen 16 og hver av kulene 58 til et forbindelsespunkt med tappene 64-. Da snoren fk står under spenning vil hodemonteringen 12 holdes fjærende og dreibart forbundet med hoftedelen 16. Likeledes presses lårdelene 62 fjærende inn til svivellignende inngrep med kulene 58 mens disse siste holdes fjærende og dreibare i hoftedelen 16. På denne måte holder et eneste stykke av en flettet elastisk snor 74-alle de nevnte deler i riktig forhold. En flettet elastisk snor har vist seg meget fordelaktig ved at den bibeholder sin elastisi- tet meget mere effektivt enn en konvensjonell fjær eller et flatt gummibånd. Den beskrevne innbyrdes forbindelse av deler resul-terer i en fullstendig svivelmontering mellom hodet og brystdelen, mellom brystdelen og hoftedelen, mellom hoftedelen og kulene 58 og mellom disse og lårdelene. Dertil kommer at hodet 4-0 kan dreies på halsstykket 22 for videre bevegelighet av dukkens hode. De konvergerende passasjer 60 i kulene 58 ikke bare letter tred-ningen av den elastiske snor 74- gjennom samme, men tillater også stbrre bevegelse av kulene uten å bli nevneverdig hindret av den elastiske snor. The aforementioned balls 58 are each swivel-like received in a hollow thigh part 62 with a through-the-same transverse pin 64-. A similar pin 66 is fast through the rounded lower part 24 of the neck piece 22 across the slot 26 in the same. In order to keep all the previously described parts springy together, a rigid connecting part 68 with hooks 70 and 72 is provided. their opposite ends. As can be seen from fig. 2 and 3, the hook 70 extends upwards into the slot 26 and grips the pin 66, while the hook 72 takes up a braided elastic cord Jk which is passed through the breast part 14-, the hip part 16 and each of the balls 58 to a point of connection with the pins 64-. As the cord fk is under tension, the head assembly 12 will be held resiliently and rotatably connected to the hip part 16. Similarly, the thigh parts 62 are pressed springily into swivel-like engagement with the balls 58 while the latter are held resiliently and rotatably in the hip part 16. In this way, a single piece of a braided elastic cord 74-all the mentioned parts in the right proportion. A braided elastic string has proven to be very advantageous in that it retains its elasticity much more effectively than a conventional spring or a flat rubber band. The described interconnection of parts results in a complete swivel assembly between the head and the chest part, between the chest part and the hip part, between the hip part and the balls 58 and between these and the thigh parts. In addition, the head 4-0 can be turned on the neck piece 22 for further mobility of the doll's head. The converging passages 60 in the balls 58 not only facilitate the threading of the elastic cord 74 through the same, but also allow greater movement of the balls without being significantly hindered by the elastic cord.

Brystkurven 14- er videre utstyrt med gjennomhullede skulderinnfatninger ?6 som hver opptar dreibart en arm 20 som ved sin bvre ende er utformet med et kuleformet parti 78 med en rådlal sliss 80 og en på tvers av denne forlbpende tapp 82. For å holde kulepartiene 78 fjærende og svivellignende dreibart i innfatningene 76 er der anordnet to forbindelseselementer 84- som i hovedsaken er lik elementet 68 og hver har kroker 86 og 88 ved motstående ender. Som vist på fig. 2 befinner krokene 86 seg i slissene 80 og griper om tappene 82, mens krokendene 88 opptar en lbkke 90 av en flettet, elastisk snor som under stramming holder kulepartiene 78 fjærende i innfatningene 76. The breast cup 14- is further equipped with perforated shoulder frames ?6 which each rotatably accommodate an arm 20 which at its left end is designed with a ball-shaped part 78 with a circular slot 80 and a continuous pin 82 across this. To hold the ball parts 78 springy and swivel-like rotatable in the frames 76, there are arranged two connecting elements 84- which are essentially similar to the element 68 and each has hooks 86 and 88 at opposite ends. As shown in fig. 2, the hooks 86 are located in the slots 80 and grip the pins 82, while the hook ends 88 occupy a loop 90 of a braided, elastic cord which, under tension, keeps the ball parts 78 springy in the frames 76.

Hvert av benene 18 har et leggparti 92 som er dreibart forbundet med lårpartiet 62 ved et simulert kneledd 94^ som omfatter et kulelignende parti 96 formet i ett med den nedre ende av lårpartiet 62. En oppadragende radial sli3S 98 er anordnet 1 hvert av kulepartiene 96. Hver leggdel 92 er fortrinnsvis utstyrt med en i lengderetningen forlbpende boring 100 og ved sin bvre ende med en konkav holder 102 for opptagelse av kulepartiet 96 og fastholdelse av dette ved anordninger som nå skal beskrives. Each of the legs 18 has a calf portion 92 which is rotatably connected to the thigh portion 62 by a simulated knee joint 94^ which comprises a ball-like portion 96 formed in one with the lower end of the thigh portion 62. An upwardly extending radial slit 98 is arranged 1 each of the ball portions 96 Each leg part 92 is preferably equipped with a longitudinally continuous bore 100 and at its right end with a concave holder 102 for receiving the ball part 96 and retaining it by means of devices which will now be described.

Et forbindelseselement 10h (fig. 6) omfatter en sirkulær plate 106 med et sentralt hull 108 og en stamme 110 med et antall omkretsriller 112. Platen 106 passer tett i slissen 98 og en tapp 114- er fort på tvers gjennom kulepartiet 96 og hullet 108 og forbinder således elementet 104- dreibart med lårdelen 62. Elementets IO<1>* stamme 110 drives inn i boringen 100 i leggdelen 92 og rillene 112 fastholdér leggdelen 92 mot lbsgjbring fra elementet icw, men tillater samtidig réiativ dreining av ibrst-nevnte i forhold til sistnevnte. Leggdelen 92 er således dreibar om tappen 114- og samtidig dreibar om stammen 110. A connecting element 10h (Fig. 6) comprises a circular plate 106 with a central hole 108 and a stem 110 with a number of circumferential grooves 112. The plate 106 fits snugly in the slot 98 and a pin 114 is fast transversely through the ball portion 96 and the hole 108 and thus rotatably connects the element 104 with the thigh part 62. The stem 110 of the element 10<1>* is driven into the bore 100 in the leg part 92 and the grooves 112 hold the leg part 92 against lbsjbring from the element icw, but at the same time allow reative turning of the ibrst-mentioned in relation to the latter. The leg part 92 is thus rotatable about the pin 114 and at the same time rotatable about the stem 110.

For at leggdelen 92 skal fastholdes i enhver valgt stilling av dreiebevegelse ved tappen 114- som akse, er det bnekelig med en friksjonsbremsing ved enhver dreiebevegelse av leggdelen. Dette er i foreliggende tilfelle oppnådd ved at tappens 114-ytterender har hoder som presser gaffelpartiene 96 sammen og derved i frlksjonsinngrep med.platen 106. Andre mulige anordninger for oppnåelse av den samme virkning er å rifle platens 106 omkretskant (fig. 8) som angitt ved 116 for samvirke med rifler 117 som langs kantflaten i slissen 98 for å holde platen 106 i en hvilken som helst valgt dreiestllling. Platens 180 sideflater kan også være riflet. En ytterligere mulighet består i å anbringe åpningen 108 og tappen 114- svakt ute av linje for å oppnå en friksjonsbinding under relativ dreiebevegelse mellom disse deler. Uten hensyn til hvilke av disse anordninger anvendes for å In order for the leg part 92 to be maintained in any selected position of rotational movement at the pin 114- as an axis, it is necessary to have a frictional braking during any rotational movement of the leg part. In the present case, this is achieved by the outer ends of the pin 114 having heads that press the fork parts 96 together and thereby engage frictionally with the plate 106. Other possible devices for achieving the same effect are to knurl the peripheral edge of the plate 106 (fig. 8) as indicated at 116 for cooperation with riffles 117 which along the edge surface of the slot 98 to hold the plate 106 in any selected rotational position. The plate's 180 side surfaces can also be fluted. A further possibility consists in placing the opening 108 and the pin 114 slightly out of line in order to achieve a friction bond during relative turning movement between these parts. Regardless of which of these devices are used to

oppnå den bnskede friksjon, er det funnet bnskelig å konstruere forbindelseselementet 104- av plast, da dette minsker slitasjen mellom platen 106 og overflatene av slissen 98 under relativ dreiebevegelse mellom disse, men forbindelseselementet 104- kan også være av metall, skjbnt dette tydeligvis ville resultere i stbrre slitasje av de motliggende plastdeler og derved bke mulig-heten for en gradvis nedsettelse av friksjonen. achieve the desired friction, it has been found desirable to construct the connecting element 104- from plastic, as this reduces the wear between the plate 106 and the surfaces of the slot 98 during relative rotational movement between them, but the connecting element 104- can also be made of metal, although this would obviously result in greater wear of the opposing plastic parts and thereby reduce the possibility of a gradual reduction in friction.

Forbindelsen mellom leggdelen 92 og fotdelen 118 er identisk med kneleddet 94- som beskrevet. Likeledes består hver arm 20 av en overarm 120 og en underarm 122 med et albueledd 124-som er identisk med det ovenfor beskrevne kneledd 94-. Ved de samme tegn er underarmene 122 svivelaktig forbundet med hender 126 ved identiske anordninger. The connection between the leg part 92 and the foot part 118 is identical to the knee joint 94- as described. Likewise, each arm 20 consists of an upper arm 120 and a lower arm 122 with an elbow joint 124 - which is identical to the above-described knee joint 94 -. By the same signs, the forearms 122 are pivotally connected to hands 126 by identical devices.

Da det ikke er absolutt viktig at kneleddet 9.4- eller albueleddet 12^ er dreibar om sin egen akse, er det mulig å utnytte en litt modifisert leddform ved disse forbindelser. Således kan, se fig. 5»leggdelen 94- være utstyrt med en i ett med samme utformet oppadragende sirkulær plate 128 som har en åpning 130 As it is not absolutely important that the knee joint 9.4 or the elbow joint 12^ is rotatable about its own axis, it is possible to use a slightly modified joint shape for these connections. Thus, see fig. 5" the calf part 94- be equipped with an identically designed upward circular plate 128 which has an opening 130

som opptar tappen 114-, Denne endrede forbindelse muliggjbr at leggdelen 92 kan dreie om tappen 114- som akse, men ikke tillate.'at den kan dreies bm sin lengdeakse, noe som er mulig hvor det særskilte forbindelseselement 104- benyttes. Som foran angitt, which occupies the pin 114-, This changed connection makes it possible for the leg part 92 to turn about the pin 114- as an axis, but not to allow it to be turned about its longitudinal axis, which is possible where the special connection element 104- is used. As stated above,

kan den modifiserte leddform ifblge fig. 5 brukes ved kne- og albueforbindelser, men ikke ved hånd- og fotforbindelsene, hvor det er viktig at dreiebevegelse av disse deler er mulig og det can the modified joint shape according to fig. 5 is used for knee and elbow joints, but not for hand and foot joints, where it is important that turning movement of these parts is possible and that

derfor er nodvendig at forbindelseselementer 10h utnyttes ved disse ledd. it is therefore necessary that connecting elements 10h are used at these points.

Det vil forståes at ved kne- og albueleddene såvel som It will be understood that at the knee and elbow joints as well as

ved hånd- og forleddene, hvor der benyttes forbindelseselementer 10<4>-, vil en av de foran beskrevne anordninger alltid bli be- at the hand and front joints, where connecting elements 10<4>- are used, one of the devices described above will always be used

nyttet for å gi en friksjonerende forbindelse. Dette er viktig, used to provide a frictional connection. This is important,

da det eileis ikke ville være mulig å vedlikeholde de Snskede dreieinnstillinger, idet de dreibare deler uten friksjonsforbindel- as it would also not be possible to maintain the desired turning settings, since the turning parts without friction connec-

sen ville rette seg ut ved egen tyngde. På fig. 8 er foten 118 then would straighten out by its own weight. In fig. 8 is the foot 118

vist utstyrt med rifler 117 ved den indre kant av slissen som svarer til slissen 98 i kneleddet, hvilke rifler samvirker med riflene 116 på elementet 10h for å gjore det mulig å vedlike- shown equipped with rifles 117 at the inner edge of the slot corresponding to the slot 98 in the knee joint, which rifles cooperate with the rifles 116 on the element 10h to make it possible to maintain

holde onskede dreiestillinger. hold desired turning positions.

For å oppnå storre dreibarhet i bevegelsen av armene 20 To achieve greater rotatability in the movement of the arms 20

er det onskelig at de ovre armdeler 120 består av to seksjoner, is it desirable that the upper arm parts 120 consist of two sections,

nemlig delene 132 og 13<4>-, som er forbundet med hinannen ved en tapp 136 (fig. 7) med riller 138 i begge ender. Ved å presse endepartiene av tappen 136 inn i delene 132 og 13<*>+, vil delene holdes forbundet med hinannen, men de kan samtidig dreiesdv. namely the parts 132 and 13<4>-, which are connected to each other by a pin 136 (Fig. 7) with grooves 138 at both ends. By pressing the end parts of the pin 136 into the parts 132 and 13<*>+, the parts will be kept connected to each other, but they can at the same time be rotated.

tappen 136 som akse. Eventuelt er det mulig, i stedet for å pin 136 as axis. Possibly it is possible, instead of to

anvende det særskilte tappelement 136, å forme tappen i ett stykke med en av delene 132 eller 13<4>- således at den rager ut/fra denne og kan presses inn i den annen del. use the special pin element 136, to form the pin in one piece with one of the parts 132 or 13<4>- so that it protrudes/from this and can be pressed into the other part.
