Title: Joint structures for figure toys
IPC: A63H3/46
Filed: 1974-02-12
Abstract: 1442036 Dolls MARVIN GLASS & ASSOCIATES 12 Feb 1974 [1 Oct 1973] 6369/74 Heading A6S A joint structure for connecting parts of a toy figure e.g. a doll, comprises a first figure part having a concave portion at the joint, a second figure part having a convex portion at the joint, and an intermediate joint member disposed between the two figure parts at the joint, the joint member being generally cup shaped to provide convex and concave sides for matingly positioning in the concave and convex portions respectively of the two figure parts. The curvatures on the surfacesof the intermediate joint member are sufficiently different from those on the respective concave and convex portions of the figure parts, so as to provide spacing therebetween with essentially an edge engagement provided between the intermediate member and the first figure part and between the second figure part and the intermediate member. The structure may be used for waist and neck joints, as shown in the Fig., utilising joint members 42 and 60 respectively. Resilient means e.g. rubber band 44, or a spring, are interconnected between the toy figure parts to hold the parts and the joint member together, and to provide universal movement. The components may gradually increase in dimension e.g., from 38 to 42 to 40, for greater articulation. The rubber band may extend through enlarged apertures e.g. 52 and 50, in the upper figure part and the joint member and through an aperture e.g. 54, in the lower figure part, the band being held by pins e.g. 46 and 48, located in the interior of the two figure parts.
