Abstract

Die Erfindung betrifft ein Knie- bzw. Ellenbogengelenk für Spielfiguren, bei dem der Oberschenkel bzw. Oberarm mit dem Unterschenkel bzw. Unterarm über eine Kugel verbunden ist, die in muldenartigen Gelenkpfannen der Gliedmaßen gehalten ist. Ihr liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, ein solches Knie- bzw. Ellenbogengelenk derart zu gestalten, daß es eine vollständige Beweglichkeit der Gliedmaßen gewährleistet, optisch wie ein menschliches Knie- bzw. Ellenbogengelenk aussieht, einfach herzustellen und zu montieren ist sowie die Haltbarkeit der Spielfigur erhöht. Diese Aufgabe wird dadurch gelöst, daß die Kugel in der senkrecht zur Kniescheibe bzw. zum Ellenbogen verlaufenden vertikalen Längsmittelebene geteilt ist, wobei die beiden Halbkugelschalen (3a,b) auf einer horizontalen, parallel zur Ebene der Kniescheibe verlaufenden Achse (11) gegeneinander verdrehbar gelagert sind derart, daß die eine Halbkugelschale (3a) am Oberschenkel (1) bzw. Oberarm und die andere Halbkugelschale (3b) am Unterschenkel (2) bzw. Unterarm gehalten ist. The invention relates to a knee or elbow joint for playing figures in which the thigh or Upper arm with the lower leg or forearm over a Ball is connected in trough-like joint sockets the limbs are held. You have the task based on such a knee or elbow joint to be designed so that there is complete mobility of the limbs, visually like looks like a human knee or elbow joint, is easy to manufacture and assemble as well as the durability of the character. These Task is solved in that the ball in the perpendicular to the patella or elbow vertical longitudinal median plane is divided, wherein the two hemispherical shells (3a, b) on a horizontal, axis parallel to the plane of the patella (11) are rotatably supported against each other such that a hemispherical shell (3a) on the thigh (1) or upper arm and the other hemisphere shell (3b) on the lower leg (2) or Forearm is held.
