DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF VARIOUS EMBODIMENTS

[0015]Hereinafter, an embodiment of a doll representing an embodiment of the present disclosure will be described with reference to the drawings.

[0016]Note that the following description will be given by describing the front side and the rear side of the doll with reference to FIGS. 1 and 4 as “front” (forward, a front surface, or a forward side) and “rear” (rearward or a rearward side), respectively, describing “left” and “right” with the left side seen from the front defined as the left, and describing the upper side and the lower side as “up” (upward direction) and “down” (downward direction), respectively, for convenience.

[0017]FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a doll 1 according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. FIG. 2 is a front view of the doll 1 when seen from the front side.

[0018]In the doll 1 illustrated in FIGS. 1 and 2, a main body portion 10 constituted by a head portion 20 and a trunk portion 30 has a structure in which the trunk portion 30 is directly connected to and supported by a support portion 40 with a rectangular shape, for example. In other words, the doll 1 has a configuration from and above a waist without including buttocks and leg portions. In the doll 1, as characteristic configurations of the trunk portion 30, a chest portion 31 is configured to project forward to a high extent, and a back portion 35 is configured to be in an upright posture.

[0019]The chest portion 31 is configured to bulge to a high extent as a first bulging portion 31a and a second bulging portion 31b imitating breasts. In addition, the doll 1 is provided with a sub-body portion 50 imitating clothing. On the front side of the doll 1, upper portions of the first bulging portion 31a and the second bulging portion 31b are exposed from the sub-body portion 50 (clothing) such that parts of the bulging of the breasts are seen. Furthermore, lower portions of the first bulging portion 31a and the second bulging portion 31b are configured such that lines of the bulging are seen although the lower portions are covered with the clothing of the sub-body portion 50. In the portion exposed from the sub-body portion 50, a first groove portion 33g which is a breast cleavage is formed between the first bulging portion 31a and the second bulging portion 31b. Also, surfaces 31s of the first bulging portion 31a and the second bulging portion 31b are formed to be curved surfaces. The first bulging portion 31a and the second bulging portion 31b are configured to have the same size with a good balance on the left and right sides.

[0020]Arm portions 38 are provided on both left and right sides of the main body portion 10. The arm portions 38 are formed only up to parts slightly extending from shoulder parts and are configured such that end portion sides (lower end portions) thereof are separated from the trunk portion 30. In other words, since the left and right arm portions 38 are configured to be separated from the first bulging portion 31a on the left side and the second bulging portion 31b on the right side, the first bulging portion 31a and the second bulging portion 31b have a realistic configuration with the rounded bulging shapes emphasized.

[0021]Although the material forming the doll 1 is not particularly limited, it is possible to constitute the doll 1 using various synthetic resins such as an ABS resin, an acrylic resin, or polycarbonate, for example. A hair portion 22 at the head portion 20 is made of, for example, silicone rubber, natural rubber, or the like having more elasticity than the other members, while the first bulging portion 31a and the second bulging portion 31b are configured not to have elasticity.

[0022]FIG. 3 is a sectional view of the part along the line A-A in FIG. 2.

[0023]As illustrated in FIG. 3, the first bulging portion 31a and the second bulging portion 31b of the chest portion 31 are configured to have a horizontally symmetrical and beautiful curved shape, and the first groove portion 33g formed between the first bulging portion 31a and the second bulging portion 31b is configured along the up-down direction of the trunk portion 30 as a groove with both left and right sides thereof formed as curved surfaces (curved lines).

[0024]A part of the back portion 35 where the first groove portion 33g can be seen has a shape different from that of the first groove portion 33g. As illustrated in FIG. 3, for example, a back surface 35s has horizontally symmetrical unevenness with the second groove portion 35g located at the center. In the periphery of the second groove portion 35g, uneven portions 36 including shoulder blade parts, for example, are formed. The second groove portion 35g is configured to have a shallower groove depth as compared with the first groove portion 33g, and has the uneven portion 36 in the periphery thereof. The overall shape is configured to be recessed on the inner side of the main body portion 10.

[0025]FIG. 4 is a side view of the doll 1 according to an embodiment of the present disclosure.

[0026]As illustrated in FIG. 4, the trunk portion 30 is configured to be inclined rearward with respect to the support portion 40 such that the surface 35s on the back side has an overall inclination angle (θ) with respect to the upright direction when placed on a horizontal placement surface 60. The back portion 35 can be divided into, for example, a region of a first part 35a on a side close to the head portion 20 and a region of a second part 35b on a side close to the support portion 40, and is configured such that the second part 35b is closer to the chest portion 31 than the first part 35a when seen from a side. With such a configuration, the chest portion 31 is caused to project forward to a high extent, and as a result, the chest portion 31 is emphasized. Also, the chest portion 31 is caused to bulge forward and obliquely downward as a result, and large bulging is located on the lower side, which is configured as a part attracting highest attention.

[0027]FIG. 5 is a rear view of the doll 1 when seen from the rear side. FIG. 6 is a perspective view of the doll 1 when seen from the obliquely rear side.

[0028]As illustrated in FIGS. 5 and 6, the back portion 35 has a back open portion 50b where design of the clothing of the sub-body portion 50 has a low-cut neckline. Therefore, the back is exposed through the back open portion 50b. Therefore, the second groove portion 35g with a straight line shape in the up-down direction is seen from the part along the spine at the center of the back. The second groove portion 35g is configured to be longer than the length of the first groove portion 33g described above. Furthermore, the back open portion 50b does not expose the entire back and is open such that a spine region is seen from the periphery of the shoulder blades, for example.

[0029]FIG. 7 is an exploded perspective view of the doll 1.

[0030]The support portion 40 in the present embodiment is configured integrally with the trunk portion 30, for example. A neck portion 37 is provided on the upper end side of the trunk portion 30, and the trunk portion 30 is configured such that the head portion 20 is attached to the neck portion 37. As illustrated in FIG. 7, an attachment shaft portion 39 with a cylindrical shape, for example, extends upward from the neck portion 37. On the other hand, an attachment hole 21h is formed on the lower end side of a face portion 21 at the head portion 20, and the head portion 20 and the trunk portion 30 are connected by the attachment shaft portion 39 being fitted into the attachment hole 21h.

[0031]It is possible to produce the shape of the large chest portion 31 by the first groove portion 33g formed by the pair of left and right bulging portions (the first bulging portion 31a and the second bulging portion 31b) of the chest portion 31 at the trunk portion 30 of the doll 1 being configured to be deeper than the second groove portion 35g along the spine line of the back portion 35 in the doll 1 of the present embodiment as described above.

[0032]In the doll 1 of the present embodiment, it is possible to produce the seductive large chest portion 31 by the first groove portion 33g at the chest portion 31 being configured as a curve and being partially exposed and seen from the clothing (sub-body portion 50) and by the clothing (sub-body portion 50) also having curves to such an extent that the curves therein can be imagined. In addition to this, it is possible to create a seductive appearance of the doll 1 from behind by adopting the configuration of the clothing (sub-body portion 50) from which the second groove portion 35g along the spine of the back portion 35 and the uneven portions 36 caused by both left and right shoulder blades are seen.

[0033]It is possible to produce beautiful breasts with a good balance by the first bulging portion 31a and the second bulging portion 31b that form the deep cleavage, which is the first groove portion 33g, being configured to have the bulging shapes with the same size on the left and right sides.

[0034]In the doll 1 of the present embodiment, the arm portions 38 on both the left and right sides are configured not to be in contact with the first bulging portion 31a and the second bulging portion 31b, and it is thus possible to express an actual human body shape without interrupting expression of the bulging of the chest portion 31.

[0035]Since the doll 1 according to the present embodiment is configured such that the hair portion 22 provided at the head portion 20 has elasticity, it is possible to achieve a soft feeling at the time of touching.

[0036]The doll 1 according to the present embodiment can evoke imagination of a part that cannot be seen by the first groove portion 33g and the second groove portion 35g being configured such that the entireties thereof cannot be seen due to the sub-body portion 50.

[0037]In the doll 1 according to the present embodiment, the back portion 35 can produce a seductive appearance of the back by evoking imagination of a partial posture that is hidden below the support portion 40 and is not actually present by the surface thereof being configured to have the inclination (θ) in the rearward direction, for example, with respect to the upright direction. Furthermore, the inclined structure of the back portion 35 can produce the posture of the doll 1 that emphasizes voluptuousness of the chest portion 31.

[0038]In the doll 1 of the present embodiment, the chest portion 31 bulging to a high extent is configured to be located near the lower side of the trunk portion 30 by the second part 35b on the lower side being configured to be closer to the chest portion 31 than the first part 35a on the upper side in the trunk portion 30, and it is possible to configure the doll 1 with a stable feeling.

[0039]In the doll 1 of the present embodiment, it is possible to emphasize the large chest portion 31 as a part attracting the highest attention by the chest portion 31 being configured as a part (focused part) projecting on the foremost side in the shape of the doll 1.

[0040]Since the doll 1 according to the present embodiment has a configuration that does not include leg portions as the doll 1, it is possible to stably place the doll 1 and to configure the head portion 20 and the trunk portion 30 with large sizes.

[0041]Since the trunk portion 30 and the head portion 20 are configured to be detachable/attachable in the doll 1 according to the present embodiment, it is possible to easily and freely change combinations from a plurality of types of trunk portions 30 and a plurality of types of head portions 20.

[0042]Although the embodiment of the present disclosure has been described above, the present disclosure can be appropriately modified within the scope of the technical idea. For example, the open shape of the sub-body portion 50 (clothing) is not limited to the illustrated configuration in the above embodiment and can be appropriately modified.
