Definitions
- the present invention relates to a toy figure with a plurality of body parts that are movably and releasably connected to one another via ball joints.
- body parts of the same toy figure can be recombined with each other, but also different toy figures can be mixed together in a variety of ways.
- a toy figure whose body parts are connected to one another using ball joints is described, for example, in US 1,359,030.
- the ball joints at the hip, knee, shoulder, etc. each have different sizes, so that the combination of body parts is fixed.
- the object of the present invention is to overcome the problems known in the prior art and to provide an improved toy figure with a variety of body parts.
- a toy figure is to be provided whose body parts and joints can be combined with one another in a particularly versatile manner.
- body parts of different toy figures can also be exchanged and combined with one another.
- the toy figure according to the invention can therefore be part of a set of similarly constructed toy figures.
- a toy figure according to the invention has a variety of body parts, for example a head, a torso, shoulders, upper arms, forearms, hands, a variety of fingers with phalanges, feet, legs, etc.
- Two body parts are connected to each other by a joint, in particular a ball joint connected so that the connection can be released and reestablished several times.
- all or at least a large number of the joints are designed in the same way, so that the body parts can be exchanged and combined with one another in almost any way. This means that a variety of different combinations can be put together by connecting body parts.
- Body parts of other toy figures in a set of toy figures can also be exchanged and combined with one another.
- the joints are each designed as ball joints that are detachably connected to one another.
- Each ball joint has a first joint part and a second joint part.
- the first joint part is connected to a first body part and the second joint part is connected to a second body part.
- Ball joints have the advantage that they allow a particularly high degree of freedom of movement.
- Each joint part has a first end and a second end opposite the first end.
- the first end and the second end are connected to one another via a hinge axis.
- the joint axis can be cylindrical or pin-shaped, for example.
- the first end, the hinge axis and the second end are preferably formed in one piece.
- the joint parts can therefore be produced particularly cheaply in large quantities using an injection molding process, for example.
- a joint head is arranged at the first end of the first joint part.
- a joint socket is arranged, which can accommodate the joint head and store it movably.
- the joint head and joint socket form the ball joint.
- the joint head is essentially spherical.
- the joint socket is essentially designed as a hollow hemisphere and is also connected to a joint axis.
- the inner radius of the hollow hemispherical joint socket essentially corresponds to the outer radius of the spherical joint head, so that the joint head can be inserted into the joint socket as precisely as possible.
- ball joints of different sizes can be used, which are dimensioned in particular to match the size of the body parts.
- adapter pieces can preferably be provided. This also makes it possible to combine the body parts with body parts of other toy figures, whose body parts can be significantly larger or significantly smaller.
- the joint socket is preferably elastically deformable, so that the joint head must be pressed into the joint socket with a predetermined force in order to establish the connection. By applying a predetermined force, the joint head can be pulled out of the joint socket again.
- suitable materials such as a plastic material or a combination of several plastic materials or suitable composite materials, the ball joint can be connected and disconnected many times without causing fatigue to the elastic properties of the joint socket.
- the spherical joint head can, for example, have a diameter of approximately 3 to 10 mm, preferably 4 to 8 mm and particularly preferably approximately 5 mm.
- the hollow spherical joint socket accordingly has an inner diameter of approximately 3 to 10 mm, preferably 4 to 8 mm and particularly preferably approximately 5 mm.
- An anchor for fastening the respective joint part to a body part is arranged at the second end of the first joint part and at the second end of the second joint part.
- the anchor is in particular designed so that it can be positively connected to a body part.
- a joint part is then fastened, for example, by inserting the anchor into a correspondingly shaped receptacle of a body part.
- a body part can have receptacles for one joint part or preferably two joint parts, particularly preferably for three or more joint parts.
- a head has a receptacle for a joint part.
- An upper arm, forearm or leg preferably has two receptacles for joint parts.
- a fuselage can have five receptacles for joint parts.
- a hand can in particular have three, four, five or six receptacles for joint parts.
- a preferred body part consists of several components, preferably two halves, which can be detachably connected to one another. In order to enable safe play for children, the components can be glued together so that the components cannot be accidentally separated while playing.
- the receptacles for the joints are each arranged in half, for example, in two components, so that by putting the components together, a positive connection is created between the receptacle and the anchor, so that the joint part falls out or is prevented from being pulled out.
- most of the body parts of the toy figure are composed of two essentially half-shell-shaped components.
- one half of a receptacle is preferably arranged in one of the half-shells.
- a half-shell shape is particularly easy to implement and can also save material and weight, while at the same time achieving high strength.
- a design of the body parts in two halves does not exclude the possibility that other additional components of the body part are or can be connected to the “halves” to form the body part.
- the essential load-bearing properties including the receptacles are preferably fulfilled by the components referred to as halves.
- halves For the sake of simplicity, the term “half” is used below, even if additional components may be present.
- the receptacles can hold the anchors in particular against being pulled out along the joint axis. In preferred embodiments, it is possible to rotate the anchor in the receptacle about the joint axis.
- the receptacles can in particular form a socket in which the anchors are each rotatably mounted.
- the components or halves of a body part are preferably detachably mortised together.
- the components can be connected to one another via two or more pins.
- One component can have the pin holes and another component can have the pin projections, which each engage in the pin holes.
- each component can have a pin hole and a pin projection, so that a relative orientation of the components is preferably specified.
- a connection using pins has the advantage that the connection can be released by applying a predetermined force. This force is preferably so low that a child can easily separate the components from one another when playing with the toy figure. Furthermore, the force is preferably so great that the components are not separated from one another by normal loads that occur when playing with the toy figure. Corresponding tenon connections that can be connected and removed many times can easily be produced, for example, for injection molded plastic parts.
- components of some body parts can also be connected to one another by means of clamping edges or the like, which run along an inner edge of a substantially hollow half-shell-shaped component of a body part.
- the matching counterpart is also designed in the shape of a half-shell, with the inner edge serving to clamp the clamping edge.
- the anchor can have a stopper that prevents a joint part from rotating about the joint axis. It may still be possible to rotate two body parts relative to one another about the joint axis, since the joint head can preferably be rotated in the joint socket about the joint axis. However, the movement around the joint axis can depend on the orientation of the body parts to one another.
- a preferred ball joint is designed to be rotatable in three axes.
- a first axis of rotation can run along the joint axis or parallel to the joint axis.
- Second and third axes of rotation are preferably aligned perpendicular to the joint axis.
- the three resulting rotational movements can also be referred to as roll, yaw and pitch, where roll is defined as being along the joint axis.
- the joint socket of the second joint part can have a notch whose size corresponds at least to the joint axis of the first joint part, so that the joint axis can be moved into the notch.
- the notch allows the ball joint to be deflected by up to approximately 90 degrees, preferably up to 100 degrees, particularly preferably up to 120 degrees to the joint axis.
- the notch can preferably be dimensioned so that the hinge axis of the first Joint part can snap into the notch, so that the joint is locked against further movement perpendicular to the joint axis of the second joint part.
- the anchor of a joint part is designed as an annular projection perpendicular to the joint axis.
- the annular projection can in particular be rotationally symmetrical.
- the receptacle in the body part is a corresponding bushing with a cross-sectional shape corresponding to the projection, which forms a pivot bearing with the projection.
- the annular projection described above can have a flattened portion.
- the receptacle in the body part can have a flattening corresponding to the annular projection.
- the flattening of the annular projection and the flattening of the receptacle form a positive fit that can prevent the joint part from twisting around the joint axis.
- the stopper can be designed as a bulge or notch or indentation or notch.
- the receptacle can be designed accordingly so that the anchor and receptacle form a positive fit. Furthermore, combinations of flattening, bulging and indentation are conceivable as preferred designs.
- the first joint part is made of a first material.
- the second joint part is preferably made of a second material that differs from the first material.
- the first material and the second material can preferably each be plastics that can be processed by injection molding.
- the first material and the second material can have similar strengths.
- the first material and the second material have a specific coefficient of friction relative to one another, so that a predetermined frictional force is created between the joint head and the joint socket.
- the frictional force can be increased in particular by a clamping effect of the joint socket.
- the frictional force or clamping effect allows two parts of the body not to change their orientation to one another on their own or solely due to gravity.
- the body parts of the toy figure can thus be brought into a desired position relative to one another, for example when playing, which does not change automatically, for example only due to gravity.
- Figure 1 shows a toy figure according to an embodiment of the invention.
- Figure 2 shows an exemplary embodiment of a ball joint for a toy figure according to the invention.
- Figure 3 illustrates the joint connection between two body parts of a toy figure according to the invention.
- Figure 4 shows a detailed view of one half of a body part with photographs.
- Figure 5 shows a finger phalanx with ball joints.
- Figure 6 shows a view of an arm.
- Figure 7 illustrates various adapter pieces for connecting body parts of different sizes.
- Figures 8 and 9 illustrate various toy figures from a kit whose body parts are interchangeable.
- Fig. 1 shows a toy figure 1 according to an embodiment of the invention with a plurality of body parts 2, including an upper body 2a and a lower body 2b.
- a shoulder 2c is arranged on the left and right of the upper body 2a, each of which is connected to an upper arm 2d.
- the upper arm 2d is connected to a forearm 2e, which has a hand on which a plurality of fingers formed from phalanges 2f are arranged.
- a leg 2g with a foot 2h are arranged on the left and right on the lower body 2b.
- a head 3 is arranged in the upper body 2a.
- the left body parts 2 are shown separately from each other, while the right body parts 2 are assembled.
- the body parts 2 are each movably connected to one another via ball joints 4. Details of the ball joints are described below. In Fig. 1, the joint heads 411 of the ball joints 4 are visible on the left body parts.
- Fig. 2 shows a detailed view of a ball joint 4, which has a first joint part 41 and a second joint part 42.
- Each joint part 41, 42 has a first end and an opposite second end, which are each connected to one another via a cylindrical or pin-shaped joint axis 43.
- a spherical joint head 411 is arranged at the first end of the first joint part 41.
- a substantially hemispherical joint socket 421 is arranged at the first end of the second joint part 42.
- a right-handed coordinate system with coordinate axes x, y, z is shown in the joint head 411.
- the coordinate system is defined here with a fixed reference to the joint head.
- Rotations about the respective coordinate axes are designated Rx, Ry, Rz.
- the pivot point is the center of the spherical joint head 411.
- the rotation Rx corresponds to a rotation about the joint axis 43 and is referred to as rolling.
- the rotation Ry is also called pitch and the rotation Rz is also called yaw.
- the joint socket 421 exerts a clamping force on the clipped-in joint head 411, so that a certain force must be applied in order to move the joint parts 41, 42 against one another.
- This clamping force can be adjusted by suitable choice of materials for the joint parts 41, 42.
- the choice of material of the second joint part 42 influences the elasticity of the joint socket 421.
- the friction between the joint head 411 and the joint socket 421 can be influenced by the materials.
- the body parts 2 of the toy figure 1 can be aligned with one another as desired, without that the orientation changes by itself or only under the influence of gravity.
- the toy figure 1 can thus assume a desired position or pose while playing and maintains this position until the position or pose is changed by actively moving the body parts 2 relative to one another.
- the first joint part 41 can be released from the second joint part 42 by pulling along the joint axis 43.
- the holding force of the joint socket 421 is preferably only overcome when pulling with a predetermined tensile force.
- a tensile force of at least 50 N, preferably at least 60 N, more preferably at least 70 N is necessary to release the joint parts 41, 42 from each other.
- the joint parts 41, 42 are designed in such a way that they can be connected or separated from one another many times without the force required for this changing noticeably.
- both joint parts 41, 42 are made of the same plastic material.
- the joint parts 41, 42 can be made from different plastic materials.
- the surface of the joint head 411 or the inner surface of the joint socket 421 can be coated with a material in order to adjust the friction between the joint head 411 and the joint socket 421 to a desired size.
- the joint socket 421 of the second joint part 42 has two round notches 422 opposite each other on the peripheral edge of the hemispherical shape.
- the diameter of the notches 422 corresponds to the diameter of the joint axis 43 of the first joint part 41.
- the notches 422 increase the range of motion of the ball joint 4 for rotations Ry so that an angular range of 180 ° is achieved here.
- the notches 422 can be cut even deeper, so that an angular range of, for example, 200° for rotations Ry can preferably be achieved.
- the position in which the joint axes 43 of the two joint parts 41, 42 are aligned with one another is defined as 0°.
- the notches 422 thus allow a rotation Ry from +90° to -90°.
- Rotations Rx are possible in the entire angular range of 360°.
- Rotations Rz are possible here in a smaller angular range of approx. +45° to -45°.
- An anchor 44 is arranged at the second end of the first joint part 41 and at the second end of the second joint part 42 for fastening the respective joint part 41, 42 to a body part 2.
- the body parts each have corresponding receptacles 24, which will be described later.
- the anchor 44 is designed as an annular projection perpendicular to the joint axis 43.
- the annular projection here has a flattening 441, which serves as a stopper to prevent rotation of the joint part 41, 42 installed in a body part 2 about the joint axis 43.
- Fig. 3 shows the shoulder 2c and the upper arm 2d of the toy figure 1 in detail.
- Both body parts 2c and 2d each consist of several components, here two halves 21c, 22c and 21d and 22d. The halves are essentially symmetrical to each other.
- receptacles 24 for the anchors 44 of the joint parts 41, 42 are arranged inside the body parts 2. These recordings 42 are described below with reference to FIG. 4.
- Fig. 4 shows one half 21c of the shoulder 2c in detail.
- the arrow indicates the direction in which the joint parts 41, 42 can each be inserted into the receptacle 24.
- the receptacle 24 is designed according to the shape of the projection of the anchor 44. Matching the flats 441 of the anchors 44, the receptacles 24 each have flats 241.
- the flat surfaces of the flats 441 of the anchors 44 come into contact with the flat surfaces of the flats 241 of the receptacles. This can prevent the joint parts 41, 42 from rotating about the joint axis 43.
- the second half 22c (not shown in FIG. 4) of the body part 2c can be connected to the first half 21c.
- the receptacles 24 are closed so that the joint parts 41, 42 are fastened therein.
- one half of the receptacle 24 is arranged in one half 21c, 22c of the body part 2c.
- the fastening takes place by means of clamping edges on the inner edge of the halves 21c, 22c.
- the half 22c not shown, has one on the inner edge circumferential projection, which jams with the inner edge of the half shown 21c.
- Fig. 5 shows a finger phalanx 2f.
- the assembled phalanx 2f is shown below.
- the two halves 21f and 22f of the phalanx 2f are separated from each other.
- a clamping edge 25 can be seen, which engages the inside of the upper half 22f and causes a clamping force to fasten the two halves 21f, 22f to one another.
- Fig. 6 illustrates the left arm of the toy figure 1 from Fig. 1. Shoulder 2c, upper arm 2d and forearm 2e are separated from each other. The hand on the forearm has three fingers and a thumb. The fingers are each formed from three phalanges 2f. The thumb has two phalanges 2f. The structure of the phalanges 2f has already been described with reference to FIG. 5.
- Fig. 7 shows three exemplary adapter pieces 45 with joint parts of different sizes.
- the adapter pieces 45 can, for example, be constructed similarly to the finger member 2f shown in FIG. 5.
- a first adapter piece 45 in Fig. 7 above combines a large joint head 411a with a small joint socket 421b.
- a second adapter piece 45 in the middle of FIG. 7 combines a large joint head 411a with a large joint socket 421a.
- a third adapter piece 45 at the bottom of FIG. 7 combines a small joint head 411b with a large joint socket 421a.
- the toy figures 1 described here as an exemplary embodiment can in particular be offered as a kit, which makes it possible to exchange and connect a large number of different body parts 2 of different toy figures of different sizes to one another via joints 4 and/or adapter pieces 45, so that many different configurations of the toy figures can be assembled can be.
- 8 and 9 show examples of two different toy figures 1, 10, whose body parts are interchangeable.
- the adapter pieces 45 shown in FIG. 7 are used for this purpose.
- the left toy figure 1 from Fig. 1 has the left arm 20e of the second toy figure 10 on the right.
- the arm 20e of the toy figure 10 was connected to the shoulder of the toy figure 1 via an adapter piece 45.
- the slightly smaller, lighter body parts 20 of the toy figure 10 have slightly smaller joint heads 411b, which are firmly connected to the body parts 20. These smaller joint heads 411b fit into the smaller joint sockets 421b of the adapter pieces 45.
- both the legs 2g, 20g and the arms 2e, 20e were exchanged between the two toy figures 1, 10.
- the connection is made via suitable adapter pieces 45, as shown in FIG.
- the body parts 20 of the second toy figure 10 were thus attached to the first toy figure 1 via the adapters 45 shown above in FIG.
- the larger body parts 2 of the first toy figure 1 have the larger joint heads 411a. These body parts 2 are connected to the second toy figure 10 via the adapter pieces 45 shown below in FIG. 7 with the matching larger joint sockets 421a. Thus, using the adapter pieces 45, a wide variety of combinations of body parts 2, 20 of the different figures 1, 10 can be assembled.
- joints 4 consist of joint parts 41, 42 which are inserted between the halves 21, 22 of the body parts 2, joints 4 of different sizes or different types can be installed. Since the ball joints 4 can be easily plugged together or divided, exchanging and combining body parts can be done particularly easily without damaging the parts.
