APPENDAGE ATTACHMENT MECHANISM FOR TOY FIGURES

摘要

An appendage attachment mechanism includes an armature (60) supported within a doll (10) or toy figure having an outwardly extending shaft (62 and 72) which in turn supports a resilient clasp (63 and 73). The clasp extends outwardly through an aperture formed in the doll or toy figure. The to-be-attached appendage defines a socket which receives a slotted ball (74) in a force-fit insertion. The slotted ball (64 and 74) defines a slot (65 and 75) and an aperture (66) in communication. Once the slotted ball has been inserted into the socket (40 and 50), the resulting combination is secured to the armature by forcing the ball over the resilient clasp allowing the clasp to pass through the ball aperture and expand within the ball slot. In the embodiment shown, a pair of doll legs are secured to a pair of leg attachments (20 and 21) supported within a doll body by a common armature.
