Description

【０００１】
【発明の属する技術分野】
本発明は、屈曲自在の関節装置を利用した人形体に関するものである。
【０００２】
【従来の技術】
従来の屈曲自在の関節装置は、特開平６−２３１５４号公報に開示されているように、第１の関節部材Ｓ８と、第１の関節部材Ｓ８に軸部材Ｓ９によって回動自在に連結される第２の関節部材Ｓ７とからなる。また、従来の人形体は、下半身部に支軸を略垂直に突設し、上半身部を下半身部の支軸に回動に連結していた。さらに又、従来の人形体は、構成する各部材、例えば胴部、脚部、腕部等の外殻部が硬質合成樹脂素材によって成形されていた。
【０００３】
【発明が解決しようとする課題】
上記従来の関節装置は、屈曲方向が一方向なので、これを連結して人形体の骨格を形成しても、自由に骨格の形態を変えることができないという問題点があった。また、上記従来の関節装置は、骨格形成をすることができても、外側に胴部腰部等の外殻部を取り付けることが出来ないという問題点があった。
【０００４】
また従来の人形体は、上半身部と下半身部が支軸によって連結されているため、上半身部が水平方向にしか回動できず、動きが限定されているという問題点があった。さらに又、従来の人形体は、構成する各部材、例えば胴部、脚部、腕部等の外殻部が硬質合成樹脂素材によって成形されていたため、各部材を動かした時に、互いに接触し合い、動きの範囲が規制されるという問題点があった。
【０００５】
本願発明は、上記問題点に鑑み案出したものであって、屈曲方向が多方向なので、これを連結して人形体の骨格を形成した場合、自由に骨格の形態を変えることができ、外側に胴部腰部等の外殻部を取り付けることが出来る、従来にない関節装置を利用して、上半身部と下半身部を連結し、上半身部の動く範囲を拡大した、従来にない人形体を提供することを第１の目的とする。
【０００７】
さらにまた本願発明は、上記問題点に鑑み案出したものであって、構成する各部材、例えば胴部、脚部、腕部等の外殻部を可撓性軟質素材で形成し、各部材を動かした時に、互いに接触しても撓むことにより、動ける範囲を大きくした、従来にない人形体を提供することを第２の目的とする。
【０００８】

【発明の実施の形態】
以下、本発明の実施の形態を図面に基づいて説明する。図１は、本願発明に係る関節装置の一つの実施の形態を示す正面図である。図２は、図１の関節装置を利用した人形体の一つの実施の形態を示す一部切り欠いた全体斜視図である。図３は、図２の上半身部の分解斜視図である。図４は、図２の下半身部の分解斜視図ある。図５は、図２の人形体の縦方向の動きを説明する側面断面図である。図６は、図２の人形体の横方向の動きを説明する正面断面図である。図７は、図２の人形体の捻る方向の動きを説明する側面断面図である。
【００１５】
関節装置１は、図１，３に示すように、第１の部材２と第２の部材３とからなる。第１の部材２は、軸部材５と、軸部材５の両端に設けられた球状関節６，６とからなる。第２の部材３は、筒状に形成され、一端開口７側と他端開口９側に第１の部材２の球状関節６，６を回動自在に抱持する抱持部１０，１１が形成され、外周面１２にフランジ１３が設けられている。このフランジ１３には、係止突起１５が形成されている。
【００１６】
さらに関節装置１について説明する。第１の部材２及び第２の部材３は、ポリアセタール等の合成樹脂によって形成されている。第２の部材３の抱持部１０，１１は、第１の部材２の球状関節６の外径と略同じ内径の球状凹部であり、これと連通する一端及び他端開口７，９が第１の部材２の球状関節６の外径より若干狭くなっている。第２の部材３の抱持部１０，１１同士は、連通孔１６によって連通している。フランジ１３の両側には、一対の係止突起１５，１５が突設されている。
【００１７】
第１の部材２の球状関節６は、第２の部材３の一端開口７（又は他端開口９）から圧入され、抱持部１０（又は抱持部１１）に嵌着されている。なお、球状関節６は、一端開口７（又は他端開口９）を拡げるようにして圧入させられるが、この圧入を容易にするため、略Ｕ字状の切り欠き１７を第２の部材３に形成していても良い。第１の部材２は、球状関節６と第２の部材３の抱持部１０（又は抱持部１１）との摩擦係合によって位置が保持されており、第２の部材３に対して折り曲げると、その折り曲げた状態が保持される。
【００１８】
人形体２１は、図２，３，５に示すように、下半身部２２と上半身部２３と、下半身部２２と上半身部２３を連結する支骨部材４０とからなる。支骨部材４０は、関節装置１と、この関節装置１の第２の部材３とからなり、両端に第２の部材３が配置されている。支骨部材４０は、一端の第２の部材３が下半身部２２に取り付けられ、他端の第２の部材３が上半身部２３に取り付けられている。
【００１９】
下半身部２２は、図４に示すように、第１の下半体２５と第２の下半体２６に二分割され、第１の下半体２５と第２の下半体２６には、支骨部材４０の一端の第２の部材３を挟んで取り付ける取付部２７，２８が形成され、この取付部２７，２８に第２の部材３のフランジ１３を係合する係合溝２９，３０が形成されている。
【００２０】
上半身部２３は、図３に示すように、第１の上半体３１と第２の上半体３２に二分割され、第１の上半体３１と第２の上半体３２には、支骨部材４０の他端の第２の部材３を挟んで取り付ける取付部３３，３４が形成され、この取付部３３，３４に第２の部材３のフランジ１３を係合する係合溝３５，３６が形成されている。
【００２１】
下半身部２２又は上半身部２３には、支骨部材４０を覆う胴部３８が設けられている。胴部３８は、可撓性軟質素材で形成されている。この胴部３８内に、柔軟素材３９が充填されても構わない。
【００２２】
さらに人形体２１について説明する。この実施の形態の支骨部材４０は、図２，３に示すように、第１の部材２と第２の部材３からなる関節装置１を３個連結し、さらに関節装置１の第２の部材３を１個連結して構成されている。即ち、関節装置１の開いている方の開口、例えば他端開口９（又は一端開口７）から、別の関節装置１の第１の部材２の球状関節６を圧入し、この球状関節６を抱持部１１（又は抱持部１２）に嵌着する。さらに、関節装置１を３個連結した場合の飛び出している球状関節６に第２の部材３を嵌着する。このようにして構成された支骨部材４０は、両端に第２の部材３が備えられた形となっている。
【００２３】
下半身部２２は、図３，４に示すように、腰部状に形成され、第１の下半体２５と第２の下半体２６からなり、第１の下半体２５と第２の下半体２６が接合され、ネジ４２・・によって固定されて形成されている。第１の下半体２５と第２の下半体２６の取付部２７，２８は、半円凹部状に形成され、周面に第２の部材３のフランジ１３を係合する係合溝２９，３０が形成されている。
【００２４】
また、第１の下半体２５と第２の下半体２６の接合面２５ａ，２６ａには、係合溝２９，３０に連続する係止溝４１・・・が形成されている。第２の部材３は、第１の下半体２５の取付部２７と第２の下半体２６の取付部２８に挟み込まれ、フランジ１３が係合溝２９，３０に係合し、係止突起１５，１５が係止溝４１，４１に係止され、回動不能に下半身部２２に取り付けられる。
【００２５】
第１の下半体２５と第２の下半体２６には、それぞれ嵌合溝４３、４４が形成され、この嵌合溝４３、４４は、第１の下半体２５と第２の下半体２６が接合することにより環状となる。この嵌合溝４３，４４に筒状の胴部３８の下端に形成された嵌合突起４５が嵌合して、下半身部２２に胴部３８が取り付けられている。この胴部３８は、ゴム又は軟質合成樹脂素材のように撓むことができる可撓性軟質素材によって形成され、支骨部材４０を覆うと共に上半身部２３に内挿されている。なお、胴部３８の内部にスポンジ等の柔軟素材３９を充填しても構わない。
【００２６】
下半身部２２は、両側に脚部５０，５０を備えている。脚部５０は、上脚部５１と、下脚部５２と、上脚部５１と下脚部５２を連結する膝関節部５３とからなる。上脚部５１は、大腿部関節５５と、大腿上部５６と、大腿下部５７とからなる。大腿部関節５５は、図４に示すように、円板状の中心部材５９と、中心部材５９の中心に設けられた軸孔６０に一方の面５９ａから中心軸６１を差し込んで回動自在に取り付けられる第１の半球体６２と、中心部材５９の他方の面５９ｂに取り付けられる第２の半球体６３と、第１の半球体６２と第２の半球体６３を連結固定するネジ６５とからなる。
【００２７】
中心部材５９は、側面にフランジ付き連結軸６６が形成され、このフランジ付き連結軸６６が前記下半身部２２に形成された開口６７に回動自在に取り付けられている。なお、フランジ付き連結軸６６は、これのフランジ６８が下半身部２２内に設けられた圧接部材２４によって圧接されており、その摩擦抵抗によって位置が保持されるようになっている。圧接部材２４は、エラストマー等の摩擦抵抗の大きいゴム部材が望ましいが、その素材に限定されるものではない。第１の半球体６２は、下部に差込軸６９が形成され、この差込軸６９の周面に軸方向に向かって波形の凹凸部７０が形成されている。
【００２８】
大腿下部５７は、左部材７１と右部材７２とからなり、左部材７１と右部材７２が接合し、ネジ７３により一体的に固定されている。大腿下部５７は、左部材７１と右部材７２の下部にそれぞれ軸受け部７５、７６が形成され、この軸受け部７５、７６間に膝関節部５３の連結片５４が差し込まれ、ネジ７３により膝関節部５３に回動自在に連結されている。
【００２９】
左部材７１と右部材７２には、取付部７７と７８が形成されている。左部材７１と右部材７２の取付部７７，７８は、半円凹部状に形成され、周面に係合溝７９，８０が形成されている。左部材７１と右部材７２には、それぞれ嵌合溝８１、８２が形成され、この嵌合溝８１、８２は、左部材７１と右部材７２が接合することにより環状となる。
【００３０】
この嵌合溝８１，８２に筒状の大腿上部５６の下端に形成された嵌合突起８３が嵌合して、大腿下部５７に大腿上部５６が取り付けられている。この大腿上部５６は、ゴム又は軟質合成樹脂素材のように撓むことができる可撓性軟質素材によって形成され、後記筒部材８５及び差込軸６９を覆うようになっている。
【００３１】
筒部材８５は、ある程度の弾性を備えたポリプロピレン等の合成樹脂によって成形され、下端外側に環状の係合突起８６が形成され、上端内側に係止突起８７が形成されている。この筒部材８５は、下部が左部材７１の取付部７７と右部材７２の取付部７８に挟み込まれ、係合突起８６が係合溝７９，８０に係合して大腿下部５７に取り付けられる。前記大腿部関節５５は、これの差込軸６９が前記筒部材８５に差し込まれ、差込軸６９の凹凸部７０が筒部材８５の係止突起８７に係止され、筒部材８５に取り付けられている。
【００３２】
上半身部２３は、図３に示すように、胸部状に形成され、第１の上半体３１と第２の上半体３２とからなり、第１の上半体３１と第２の上半体３２が接合され、ネジ８８・・・によって一体的に連結固定されている。第１の上半体３１と第２の上半体３２の取付部３３，３４は、半円凹部状に形成され、内周面に第２の部材３のフランジ１３を係合する係合溝３５，３６が上下方向に向かって３段形成されている。
【００３３】
なお、第１の上半体３１と第２の上半体３２の接合面３１ａ，３２ａには、係合溝３５，３６に連続する係止溝３７・・・が形成されている。第２の部材３は、第１の上半体３１の取付部３３と第２の上半体３２の取付部３４に挟み込まれ、フランジ１３が係合溝３５，３６に係合し、係止突起１５・・が係止溝３７・・に係止され、回動不能に上半身部２３に取り付けられる。
【００３４】
また、上半身部２３の首部８９に上記したように取付部９０，９１と係合溝９２，９３を形成し、係合溝９２，９３に関節装置１のフランジ１３を係合するようにして、取付部９０，９１間に関節装置１を取り付け、首部８９から突出する球状関節６に頭部９５を回動自在に連結しても構わないのは勿論である。
【００３５】
さらに又、上半身部２３は、両側に腕部４６、４６が設けられている。腕部４６は、球状関節付き連結軸４７によって上半身部２３に取り付けられ、球状関節４８が上半身部２３内に設けられた圧接部材４９によって圧接され、その摩擦抵抗によって位置が保持されるようになっている。圧接部材４９は、エラストマー等の摩擦抵抗の大きいゴム部材が望ましいが、その素材に限定されるものではない。
【００３６】
人形体２１は、上記構成を有し、図５に示すように高さを調節することができる。即ち、図５（ａ）に示すように、支骨部材４０の他端の第２の部材３のフランジ１３を上半身部２３の最上部の係合溝３５，３６に係合すると、上半身部２３は短くなり、図５（ｂ）に示すように、支骨部材４０の他端の第２の部材３のフランジ１３を上半身部２３の最下部の係合溝３５，３６に係合すると、上半身部２３は長くなる。
【００３７】
また、図５（ａ）に示すように、上脚部５１の差込軸６９を筒部材８５内に押し込むと上脚部５１、即ち脚部５０が短くなり、図５（ｂ）に示すように、上脚部５１の差込軸６９を筒部材８５内から引き出すと上脚部５１、即ち脚部５０が長くなる。このように、人形体２１は、上半身部２３と脚部５０の長さを調節することにより、高さを調節することができる。
【００３８】
又人形体２１は、図６（ａ）（ｂ）に示すように、上半身部２３を傾けることができる。支骨部材４０は、３個の関節装置１と１個の第２の部材３からなるので人間の背骨のように曲げることができ、しかも球状関節６と抱持部１０，１１との摩擦係合によって位置が保持されるので、上半身部２３の傾けた状態を保持することができる。また、支骨部材４０と上半身部２３の傾きに従って、胴部３８を人間の腹部のように撓ませることができる。
【００３９】
なお、胴部３８内に、柔軟素材３９が設けられていると、胴部３８の撓みをより一層人間の腹部のような撓み方にすることができる。又、脚部５０を内側に回動させると、大腿上部５６が下半身部２２に当接するが、大腿上部５６が可撓性軟質素材によって形成されているため、従来の硬質合成樹脂素材によって形成されたものと異なり、当接して撓むことができるので、さらに内側に回動させることが出来る。
【００４０】
さらに人形体２１は、図７（ａ）（ｂ）に示すように、上半身部２３を捻ることができる。支骨部材４０は、上半身部２３を捻ると支骨部材４０の他端の第２の部材３が回転し、これに伴って、各球状関節６及び各抱持部１０，１１も回転し、人間の背骨のように捻ることができ、しかも球状関節６と抱持部１０，１１との摩擦係合によって位置が保持されるので、上半身部２３の捻った状態を保持することができる。また、支骨部材４０と上半身部２３の捻りに従って、胴部３８を撓ませることができる。
【００４１】
このように、人形体２１は、これを構成する各部材、例えば胴部、脚部、腕部等の外殻部を可撓性軟質素材で形成すると、各部材を回動した時に、互いに接触しても撓むので回動角度を大きくすることができる。また、各部材を連結する関節部の可動部（例えばフランジ６８、球状関節４８）に、ゴム等の圧接部材２４，４９を圧接させると、適度な力を加えた時に可動部が可動でき、力を加えない時にはその位置が保持される。
【００４２】
【発明の効果】
以上説明してきたように、本願発明に係る関節装置は、第１の部材と第２の部材とからなり、第１の部材の一方の球状関節を第２の部材の一方の抱持部に回動に抱持されているので、第２の部材に対して第１の部材を回動及び屈曲することができ、さらに他方の球状関節を、別の関節装置の第２の部材の他方の抱持部に圧入して、別の関節装置と連結することができるという効果がある。また、第２の部材の外周面にフランジが設けられているので、このフランジを利用して、引き抜き不能に別部材に取り付けることが出来るという効果がある。
【００４３】
本願発明に係る関節装置は、上記効果に加え、フランジに係止突起が形成されているので、これを利用して別部材に回動不能に取り付けることができるという効果がある。
【００４４】
本願発明に係る人形体は、下半身部と上半身部が支骨部材によって連結され、この支骨部材が上記関節装置と第２の部材とからなるので、支骨部材が人間の背骨のような動きをすることができ、上半身部を折り曲げたり捻ったりすることができ、また折り曲げた状態又は捻った状態を保持することができるという効果がある。
【００４５】
本願発明に係る人形体は、上記効果に加え、下半身部の取付部に形成された係合溝に支骨部材の一端の第２の部材のフランジを係合し、上半身部の取付部に形成された係合溝に支骨部材の他端の第２の部材のフランジを係合しているので、支骨部材が下半身部及び上半身部から外れ難くなっているという効果がある。また、取付部に複数の係合溝を形成すると、フランジの係合する係合溝によって、高さを調節することができるという効果がある。
【００４６】
本願発明に係る人形体は、上記効果に加え、下半身部に支骨部材を覆うと共に上半身部に内挿される胴部が設けられ、この胴部が軟質合成樹脂で形成されているので、上半身部を折り曲げたり捻ったり伸ばしたりしても、支骨部材を外部に見せることがなく、またその動きにつれて撓ませることができるという効果がある。
【００４７】
本願発明に係る人形体は、上記効果に加え、胴部内に柔軟素材が充填されているので、人間の腹部のように自然に撓ませることができるという効果がある。
