ABSTRACT:
A device for articulating the limbs and head to the body of toy figures. The device consists essentially of plastic disks that grip the covering material and of a plastic bolt that extends through the disks and has barbed sections. The object is to facilitate assembly of the toy and establish a secure joint that will also be mobile. The bolt (8) has three essentially cylindrical securing sections (13, 14, and 15). Each section accommodates a disk (9, 10, and 11). The section (13) adjacent to the head (12) of the bolt accommodates a disk (9) with several rings of teeth (26) that engage similar teeth (27) that are displaced by half their width in relation to the first ring of teeth on the disk (10) accommodated on the adjacent section (14), gripping the fabric (6) that covers the limb (2) or head between them. The third disk (11), which secures the fabric (5) that covers the body (1), is in the shape of a bowl or cup and at least to some extent receives the two other disks (9 and 10). The bolt also has a longitudinal recess (23) that provides additional resilience.
