JPH10192555A - Eyeball with pupil following up one's line of sight - Google Patents

Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To follow up one's line of sight against a man looking at him as if it were alive, by displaying the pupil having a required area by a appropriate means in a recessed and curved part having a required area partitioned by the opening edge. SOLUTION: In the pupil sphere following up one's line of sight a required area partitioned by opening edges 2, 3 is formed at a recessed and curved part 4. The pupil 5 having a required area is displayed in the recessed and curved part 4 by adhesion of paint for instance. The outside of the opening edges 2, 3 is appropriately formed as a collar 6. The pupil 5 is displayed in the recessed and curved part, 4 and positioned in a required inside depth through the opening edges 2, 3. Since the incident external light along the curved face of the pupil 5 reflects in the whole directions when the curved face is converged at the center point of the pupil 5, the pupil 5 is seemingly positioned at the right side when a man looking at him stands at the right side and the one's eves are shifed to the right. Accordingly, the man receives the line of sight of the pupil by receiving the reflected light from the pupil 5.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to an eyeball having a pupil that is used for faces of dolls, toys, statues, and various articles, and that tracks a sight line to a viewer.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, the eyes of the face of ordinary inexpensive dolls, toys, and figurines are drawn and commercialized by hand coating means, printing means, and other appropriate means. Good materials, glass balls and jewelry balls are used. In addition, for dolls and toys, various devices have been proposed, such as a device in which an eyeball rotates according to a support angle and automatically opens and closes an eyelid.

[0003]

The line of sight of the eyeball used for the face of the dolls, toys, statues and various articles of the prior art is fixed, and the line of sight is not directed toward the viewer. . Therefore, there was no lively place.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention has been made to solve the above-mentioned drawbacks, and is intended to make a gazing point follow a sighted object as if it were a living object.

[0005]

The entire surface is defined by an opening edge and has a required area, and a concave curved surface portion having a required area defined by the opening edge is provided. A pupil portion having a required area is provided on the concave curved surface portion. The gaze tracking pupil eyeball is characterized by being displayed by appropriate means.

[0006] The opening edge for partitioning the whole may be in the form of a horizontal petal facing up and down.

[0007] The concave curved surface portion having a required area defined by the opening edge has a curved surface converged at a required portion, and the pupil portion has a required area indicated by an appropriate means centering on the convergent portion of the concave curved surface portion. Good thing.

A band-like edge may be connected to the opening edge vertically opposed to cover a part of the concave curved surface portion to enhance the pupil portion.

[0009] The band-like edge may be displayed on a transparent member that covers the concave curved surface defined by the opening edge.

[0010]

BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION A concave petal surface is provided, which is defined by a horizontal petal-shaped opening edge facing up and down and has a required area, is defined by the opening edge, and has a curved surface converging at a required portion. A gaze-tracking pupil eyeball in which a pupil having a required area is displayed on a concave curved surface portion by appropriate means.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS A first embodiment of a gaze-tracking pupil of the present invention will be described below with reference to FIGS. 1 to 3. Reference numeral 1 denotes a gaze-tracking pupil of the first embodiment of the present invention. Is formed on the concave curved surface portion 4, and a pupil portion 5 having a required area is displayed on the concave curved surface portion 4 by, for example, applying paint. The outer sides of the opening edges 2 and 3 are formed in an appropriate shape as the flange 6.

Next, a second embodiment of the eye-tracking pupil eyeball of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. 4 to 6. The eye-tracking pupil eyeball 7 of the second embodiment is a required eye sectioned by opening edges 8 and 9. An area is formed on the concave curved surface portion 10, and a pupil portion 11 having a required area is displayed on the concave curved surface portion 10 by the same means as the first embodiment or other means. And
Inside the opening edges 8, 9, band-shaped edges 12, 13 which cover a part of the concave curved surface portion 10 and emphasize the pupil portion 11 are connected and vertically opposed.

Next, a third embodiment of the eye-tracking pupil of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS.
In the spectacle toy using the eye-tracking pupil eyeball 15 of the embodiment, a required area defined by the opening edges 16 and 17 is formed by a flat curved surface portion 18 with a flat plate 19, and the concave curved surface portion 18 is formed.
A pupil portion 20 is displayed on the inner surface of the pupil portion 20 by the same means as in the first and second embodiments, and a transparent hole 21 is provided in the pupil portion 20 and provided separately. A transparent plate 2 which is displayed on the surface, and the inside of the strip-shaped edges 22 and 23 is covered and covered with a light shielding material 24 while leaving the insides of the strip-shaped edges 22 and 23 transparent.
The spectacle lens 26 is formed by superposing the transparent plate 25 and the flat plate 19 on which the concave curved surface portion 18 is formed, and the spectacle lens 26 is attached to the spectacle frame 27.

The present invention is configured as described above. The principle is as shown in FIG. 11, and the pupil 28 is displayed on the concave curved surface 29 and is located inside the required depth by the opening edges 30 and 31. When the curved surface converges at the center point 0 of the pupil portion 28, external light emitted according to the curved surface of the pupil portion 28 can be reflected in all directions. For this reason, if the position of the viewer is on the right side, the pupil portion 28 appears to be located on the right side as shown in FIG. 12 and becomes closer to the right, and the reflected light of the pupil portion 28 is seen. The line of sight of the unit 28 is received.

In particular, as shown in FIG.
1, when the band-shaped edges 32, 33 covering a part of the concave curved surface portion 29 are connected, the pupil portion 28 is surrounded by the band-shaped edges 32, 33, and the position of the pupil portion 28 is left and right laterally. It moves in the direction and the vertical direction up and down, and reliably presents the appearance that the line of sight tracks. This operation is performed in the first embodiment,
This is used in the second embodiment and the third embodiment.

[0016]

As described above, according to the present invention, the pupil tracks the line of sight to the person watching the pupil,
It can be used for various purposes such as toys, figurines, savings boxes, figurines, sculptures, window displays, and the like, and can provide extremely interesting objects.
