Abstract:
A method for forming an elastic doll head, characterized in that the method comprises the steps of:providing split mold members each having an inner surface formed to have a configuration which provides a shape of the doll head when said split mold members cooperate with each other, said split mold members forming the doll head with a parting line through which the doll head is substantially equally divided into two halves; heating a molding material mainly consisting of one selected from the group consisting of a thermoplastic synthetic resin elastomer and a silicone resin material, dropping the molding material in the form of a parison into a space defined between said split mold members kept spaced from each other, joining said split mold members to each other, and blowing air into said split mold members thus joined; and separating said split mold members from each other to remove the molded doll head from said split mold members; said split mold members each being formed with a cavity and a mating surface so that said parting line is formed on the doll head so as to extend from an upper portion of a forehead of the doll head through a rear side of each of ears thereof to a rear portion of a neck thereof; one of said split mold members being formed with a neck hole forming means in a manner to be retractably advanced into said cavity; said neck hole forming means being formed with an air injection nozzle for injecting air into said cavities of said split mold members, resulting in blow molding being carried out.
