Utility Model Registration No. 3218306 Gazette

Existing face masks and head coverings have several problems: they are difficult to secure to the head, prone to shifting or rotating, cumbersome to put on and take off, and difficult to adjust the size. Furthermore, there are few designs that achieve both stability when worn and a cute appearance (design appeal).
One aspect of this invention is that the main body and the head can be easily attached and detached.

To achieve the above objective, a disclosed plush toy is provided. This plush toy comprises a body including a torso and a detachable spherical or flattened ellipsoidal head. Magnetic attachments are fitted to the detachable parts of the body and head, and an image including the eyes, nose, and mouth of an animal is depicted on half of the head's surface.

In one embodiment, the main body and head can be easily attached and detached.

This is a plan view showing a stuffed animal according to an embodiment. This is a side view showing the plush toy of the embodiment. This is a diagram showing a stuffed animal with a cover attached. This diagram shows the main body and head separated.

The plush toy of this embodiment will be described in detail below with reference to the drawings.
<Embodiment>
Figure 1 is a plan view showing the stuffed animal according to the embodiment. Figure 2 is a side view showing the stuffed animal according to the embodiment.
The plush toy 10 of this embodiment has a body part 1 and a head part 2.
The main body 1 has a shape that resembles a stylized human torso.
In this embodiment, the head portion 2 is a flattened ellipsoid and is detachable from the main body portion 1.
In this embodiment, the head 2 is a flattened ellipsoid, but it may also be spherical.

As shown in Figure 2, half of the surface of the head 2 has a face representation area 21 formed by printing, sublimation transfer, or the like. The face representation area 21 shown in Figure 1 has an image drawn on it that includes the eyes, nose, and mouth of a human or animal (a cat in this embodiment). The ears are not included in this image because ear-shaped covers (described later) will be attached. By not including the ears in the image, the eyes, nose, and mouth can be drawn larger on the face representation area 21.
Figure 3 shows a stuffed animal with a cover attached.
As mentioned above, cover 3 has an ear-like shape and encloses head 2.
By simply replacing cover 3, the overall appearance of the plush toy 10 can be easily changed.
As mentioned above, the head 2 is detachable from the main body 1.

Figure 4 shows the main body and head separated.
Magnets 1b and 2b are attached to the connection points 1a and 2a between the main body 1 and the head 2. One of these magnets is convex and the other is concave. The attached head 2 is stabilized by inserting the convex magnet into the concave magnet.

As described above, the plush toy 10 has a main body 1 including a torso, and a head 2 that is spherical or a flattened ellipsoid and detachable from the main body 1. Adhesive magnets are attached to the connecting parts 1a and 2a between the main body 1 and the head 2, respectively, and an image including the eyes, nose, and mouth of an animal is depicted on half of the surface of the head 2.

Therefore, the main body and the head can be easily attached and detached. In addition, the magnets in the main body 1 and the magnet in the head 2 have a convex shape on one side and a concave shape on the other. This allows the head 2 to be attached stably in the correct position. Furthermore, the appearance (expression and face position) is not distorted.
Furthermore, it allows for both stability when worn and a cute appearance (design).
Furthermore, the customization options for dolls and stuffed animals will improve.

The plush toy of this invention has been described above based on the illustrated embodiment. However, this invention is not limited to this embodiment, and the configuration of each part can be replaced with any configuration having a similar function. Furthermore, other arbitrary components or processes may be added to this invention.
