ABSTRACT:
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a movable structure for loin and groin of toy figures, jointed dolls, and the like.
An example of a joint structure in relation to groin of toy figures, such as dolls or the like whose has right and left legs lifted in the horizontal and fore directions (it makes them to move) is described in Japanese Utility Model Examined Publication Hei 7-45273.
In such a structure described in the above-mentioned publication, basically, both ends of the protruded rods provided at a lower portion of a doll to a horizontal state is each provided spherical members, and a pair of separated legs includes respectively engaged depressions which engage with the spherical members. Therefore, the spherical members and depressions as a joint structure are joined suitably each other.
Therefore, the leg of the doll can be lifted horizontally and forwards through the fitted depression having cum mechanism in relative to the spheres of the rods respectively.
However, since the joint structure of the leg of the doll is very simple, it is impossible to make loin or groin of the doll to move in the same manner as human being. Therefore, when the leg is opened in the front-back direction and/or the left-right direction, the loin or groin portion of the doll does not allowed moving as natural movement of human being. In addition, because the sphere members of the protrusion rods are each engaged with the engaging depressions having cum mechanism, one of the legs has to be separated in two portions.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
In view of the foregoing, it is an object of the present invention to provide a movable structure for loin and groin of toy figures that allow loin and groin to lift in the same manner as human being naturally when the leg is opened in the front-back direction and/or the fore direction. It is another object of the present invention to provide a movable structure that can join a huckle bone member and loin member rationally. It is still another object of the present invention to provide a movable structure that can be lifted the leg to a V-shaped state with rotating the huckle bone member when the leg of toy figures is lifted in the fore direction. It is a further object of the present invention to provide a movable structure that can control movement of the leg of toy figures within a range of movement in the same manner as human being.
A movable structure for loin and groin of toy figures is composed of a coxa member
11
as a partition wall attached at a lower portion of a body
2
of a movable jointed doll
1
; a pair of right and left huckle bone members
18
,
19
provided pivotably with the coxa member
11
; a pair of right and left groin members
30
,
40
installed into installed spaces
23
,
27
respectively formed at each of the huckle bone members
18
,
19
; the groin members
30
,
40
having protruded fitted portions
33
,
43
which insert into depressed fitted portions
22
,
26
formed at gluteu maximus corresponding portion of the huckle bone members
18
,
19
respectively; and each of the groin members
30
,
40
further composed of first joint segments
31
,
41
rotate respectively in relation to each of the huckle bone members
18
,
19
such that right and left leg members
6
,
7
move in the horizontal direction respectively and second joint segments
35
,
45
combine integrally with the first joint segments
31
,
41
in a face-contact state respectively in relation to each of the first joint segments
31
,
41
such that the leg members
6
,
7
are lifted in the fore direction respectively.
In the above-mentioned structure, the huckle bone member
18
further composed of a longitudinal slider wall
18
a,
an iliac muscle corresponding portion
18
b,
and a gluteu maximus corresponding portion
18
c.
The iliac muscle corresponding portion
18
b
is formed at an upper portion of the longitudinal slider wall
18
a
such that the iliac muscle corresponding portion
18
b
projects outwardly. The gluteu maximus corresponding portion
18
c
is provided consecutively with a lower portion to an angle state from the iliac muscle corresponding portion
18
b
to an angle state. Moreover, the second segment
35
of the groin portion
30
includes a base
37
and a vertical bearing portion
38
. The base
37
touches to an edge portion of the iliac muscle corresponding portion
18
b
when the leg
6
is lifted in the fore direction to a horizontal state. The vertical bearing portion
38
extends upwardly from the outer surface of the base
37
and is closely related with the first joint segment
31
.
Further, the coxa member
11
includes a coxa portion
13
composed of a control portion
15
for a huckle bone member and a stopper portion
16
for a huckle bone member. The bordering-shaped control portion
15
is formed at an edge portion of the front part of the coxa portion
13
and in an inclined-shape, the control portion
15
projecting in the right and left directions symmetrically. The stopper portion
16
for a huckle bone member is formed at an upper edge portion of a back part of coxa portion
13
and projects with a slight curve in the right and left directions symmetrically.
Moreover, the coxa member
11
is provided pivotably to the body
2
, having a cylindrical insert axle
12
inserted into a vertical hole
8
formed at the body
2
.
In addition, another huckle bone member
18
includes longitudinal slider wall
18
a
slides in contact with a side wall of the coxa portion
13
of the coxa member
11
. The longitudinal slider wall
18
a
has a large diameter fitted axle portion
20
and a small diameter short axle
21
. The axle portion
20
engages into the center hole
14
of the coxa portion
13
. The short axle
21
is formed so as to protrude at a top end portion of the axle portion
20
and inserted into an fitted sleeve
25
formed so as to protrude at the longitudinal slider wall
19
a
of another huckle bone member
19
.
