The head shown in Figures 1 and 2 has a lower end 26 with a concave surface 26S resting on a convex upper The end 28 of the neck portion 30 of the fuselage is received. The head ■ and the neck are held together by a coupling 32, the upper end 34 of which is held on the head, the lower The end 36 is held in the neck and its central part 37 dry through openings in the head and neck. The lower end of the head has a headrest 39 with a recess 38 which receives the upper end of the coupling, and an opening 40 extending through the coupling. The coupling extends down through an opening 42 in the neck and its lower end is inserted into one in the Neck trained fit 44 added. f

The lower end 36 of the coupling is formed as part of a ball that can rotate in the socket 44. The center of curvature 46 of the ball and socket coincides with the center of curvature of the convex neck surface 28S and the concave head surface 26S. Thus, the head can tilt up and down relative to the neck, being restrained by the clutch as it moves upward and by the concave and convex head and neck surfaces 26S, 28S as it moves downward. The opening 42 in the neck limits the extent of upward and downward inclination of the head taking place at about 10 ° in each direction before the coupling abutting against the walls of the neck like opening. Within this borderline there is no gap between the head and the neck, so that the transition between the head and the neck has a natural appearance. The double ball joint connection also allows unlimited rotation of the head on the neck around a vertical axis.

It should be noted that similar head movement can be achieved by using a convex head portion and a concave recess could be achieved in the neck instead of the training described above. However, this would lead to the line 48,

where the front of the head and neck meet, lying down on the neck if the head were tilted up, creating an unnatural appearance. The joint arrangement allows the head to be tilted in either direction Direction and turning, with a single, relatively simple joint that is very close to the natural model coming outward appearance delivers.

The upper body portion 22 consists of front and rear halves 50, 52 which can be held together. A pin 54 and Pairs of pins 56, 58 and 60 of the front half of the fuselage are in corresponding Holes in the back half held. The two halves of the body also form arm openings 62 which are used to receive the Doll arms are used and are equipped with support parts 64, 66, which contact a fuselage connecting device which connects the upper and lower fuselage halves to one another. A complete Description of the Arai openings and the hull connecting device is given below.

In Figures 1, 3 and 4 details of the left arm 14 are shown, the right arm being constructed in a similar manner is. The arm 14 has an anchor assembly 70 supported by a cover 72 of flexible, flesh-colored material, for example a vinyl plastic. The anchor assembly has an upper arm insert 74, a lower arm insert 76, and a shoulder pin 78 connecting the upper arm insert to the upper Fuselage connects. An elbow support member 80 holds the don upper and lower inserts together while a rivet 82 connects the elbow support member to the upper arm insert.

The upper end 84 of the upper arm insert is forked, with both parts 86, 88 of this fork having hook-like foctii and limit a warehouse opening. The shoulder pin 78 is T-shaped. formed, the crosspiece 90 with the hook-shaped upper End 84 of the arm insert is in threatening engagement.

The stem portion 82 of the shoulder pin extends between the G-abclteile 86, 88 and from there to the upper torso part 22.-One Support 96 on the upper body part has an opening 98, which serves to accommodate the trunk part of the shoulder pin. The opening 98 forms a bearing that represents a pivot axis for the doll arm that extends along the entire arm length, when the arm is in a raised position. A head or a enlarged end 100 on this pin holds it on the torso support. The coupling between the stem part 92 of the pin and the trunk support-.96 allows a 360 ° rotation of the arm by one essentially horizontal axis passing through the axis of the trunk part 92 runs.

The flexible cover 72 completely surrounds the upper arm insert with the exception of a slot 102 located in it. The slot 102 extends over 90 ° between the positions 104 and 106 and is only as wide as the shoulder pin portion 92. The cover surrounds the hook-like end 84, so that prevents will cause the shoulder pin to come out as soon as the arm is raised. When the arm 14 is raised to a horizontal position will like them in Pig. 3, the pin abuts. 104 to the cover, preventing the arm is raised even higher. This does not have any significant adverse effect upon the variety of puppet movement required in play, and in each pail there would be a further lift of the arm result in an obstruction between the arm and the top of the torso at 108. Thus the arm appears life- similar and can be rotated about a horizontal axis and pivoted up to the horizontal.

The lower arm insert 76 is connected to the upper arm insert ', to allow natural elbow rotation. A pivot pin 110 on the upper insert protrudes through one in the lower one Insert existing hole 112 to thereby allow rotary movement between these bodies. The elbow bracket body

fits over the head or the hub to insert them with the bottom to be held in engagement while the rivet 82 engages the retainer body holds in place. The cover 72 is flexible enough to allow the arm to pivot at the elbow. The fit between the threatening pin 110 and the hole 112 creates sufficient friction to hold the elbow in any position into which it has been bent.

The lower arm insert 76 has a tubular end portion 114 in which there is a channel 115 which opens towards the place of the hand. This channel receives a wrist insert 116 which holds the hand 118 of the doll. The wrist insert 116 has a toilet bowl 120 that is equipped with an enlarged upper end 122. A slot 124 (see Figure 1) is formed in the upper end to divide that end into two parts. The enlarged end 122 can be inserted into an enlarged chamber area 126 of the arm insert, but not easily pulled out of this chamber area. Once the use of the wrist has been inserted into the lower arm, <^"v r can be rotated about its shaft portion, to thereby rotate the hand 118 G ine η any angle.

The lower end 128 of the wrist insert forms a disc which is equipped with a pair of pivot pins 130 which rotatably connect the disc to the hand, thereby enabling the hand to be rotated or pivoted about an axis 132 which is perpendicular to the length of the dos Arms lies. As a result, the doll's wrist can be bent upwards and downwards, as a result of which a multitude of positions or postures can be achieved, such as those carried out by an Iodine model or a mannequin in display poses. The disk shape of the end 128 makes it possible to rotate the wrist even when it is surrounded by an undocking material. The outer end 134 of the lower rim has a concave surface 134S, while the inner end of the hand is spared a convex surface 118S,

in order to enable "both surfaces to rotate on each other, without showing a gap. The centers of rotation of surfaces 118S and 134S are on the same axis 132 as that of the pivot. ·

The lower body portion 24 shown in Figures 1 and 5 consists of front and rear halves 140, 142. A pin 144 and a pair of pins 146 on the front half fit into corresponding ones Holes in the back half to hold the two halves together. The lower halves of the torso form openings 148 to accommodate the legs. A pair of support pieces 150 nearby of the upper end of the body part is intended to be fitted with a g Hull connecting moment to come into contact. As from Fig. 1 ■ As can be seen, a fuselage connector 152 extends between the upper and lower fuselage sections to about those sections to connect with each other. The connecting element, which consists of rubber or another elastic material, has a Rod part 153 which extends through openings 154, 156 present in the connecting support parts of the body parts and is provided with enlarged ends 158, 160 that form the rod portion hold in place.

The lower end 162 of the upper body portion has a concave surface 162S, while the upper end 164 of the lower body part is provided with a convex surface 164S that allows the pup ™ allow pe to pivot at the waist. The connecting element 152 is installed in a slightly pretensioned state, so that there is a certain amount of friction between the body parts, whereby they are held in any position so that the doll maintains the posture in which it has been brought. The connecting element makes it possible. due to the body parts their length and their elastic structure, which is a considerable Bending allows it to rotate to a certain extent. The connecting element also allows the body parts to be rotated relative to one another and holds them in any relative

A leg axis 166 as shown in FIGS. 1, 6 and 7 is, pre-ties the Boinc with the lower part of the body. The leg axis has a central portion 168 retained in a trunk opening 170 is and is provided with flanges 169, which a lateral Prevent the axis from advancing. A pair of cross-shaped connecting parts 172, 174 extend from the central part outside, and at the outer ends of the cross-shaped connecting parts there is a pair of spherical links 176, 178. The spherical links touch the boine 18, 20 to hold them while using enable them to kick back and forth, to splinter apart and close.

Figures 1, 8 and 9 show the left leg 18, the right leg being constructed in the same way. The "left leg" has a leg anchor assembly 180 surrounded by a cover 182 of flexible, flesh-colored material such as vinyl plastic. The anchor assembly includes a thigh insert 184, a lower leg insert 186, a knee support body 188, and the upper YikeL and lower leg inserts holds together, and a foot insert 190, which is connected to the Untorschen kel insert.

The upper end 192 of the thigh insert has a socket 194 which receives a ball 178 dor leg axis. A slot 196 in the socket allows for easy splitting for receiving the ball during assembly of the doll. The flexible leg cover has a conically shaped opening 198 which extends sideways from an inside of the Bcin3 to the socket, thereby allowing the connector 178 of the pin axis to extend to the socket . The ball 178 and the iaeeung 194 allow the leg to be raised or "kicked" forwards or backwards indefinitely until the leg against the walls φ Boin openings 148 in the lower torso to the limit

faces' 148F and 148Β. The conical shaped opening 198 allows the leg to "look" away from the other leg "up to 20 degrees" due to the fact that the opening looks radially at an angle from the fit. The conical shape of the opening also allows rotate the leg by "up to 20" about an axis extending along the length of the boin. Thus, the leg to sump connection utilizes a single leg axle link 166 and relatively simple fittings formed on the legs to create an articulated connection that allows a variety of leg movements while utilizing a natural looking leg. G

The lower thigh insert 186 stands in with the thigh insert the way that natural knee rotation is possible. A pivot 190 in the thigh insert protrudes through an im Hole 192 located in the lower leg insert "to allow pivoting movement freely between the inserts I88 rests on each end of the trunnion to lock it in keep lower bet. The leg cover 182 is flexible enough to to allow for "considerable knee flexion.
