- Play figures in particular so-called function dolls, have been available for some time, in which the play value is increased by a series of predetermined functions integrated in the play figure.
- dolls are known that can laugh, cry, wet, swallow porridge and excrete, or can make certain sounds. Batteries are often required for these figures. A particularly trouble-free and long-lasting character can be achieved if these functions are triggered not mechanically, but mechanically, pneumatically and / or hydraulically.
- the object of the present invention is to further develop the aforementioned game figures, in particular functional dolls, in such a way that their play value is increased still further.
- the invention consists in designing such a play figure equipped with joints and functions as a bathing doll.

- at least one peripheral functional section is in mechanical and / or pneumatic and / or hydraulic operative connection with the central functional section via the associated fluid-tight joint connection.
- the sealant in the area of the articulated connections prevents water from getting into the hollow body or the hollow extremities, in particular the head, arms or legs.
- the conventional toy figures with an integrated functional device of the generic type have the disadvantage that, owing to the articulated connections, they were not sufficiently fluid-tight to be brought into contact with water.
- the play value of a toy figure, in particular functional doll can 'be substantially increased, that they are incorporated into a water reservoir, in particular in a bath or even held under running water can.
- At least two peripheral functional sections are provided in two different extremities, each of which is operatively connected to the central functional section.
- a peripheral function can be formed, for example, by a compressible chamber formed in the arm, during the compression of which a certain function, in particular the flow of tears, is triggered by the functional function.
- the second peripheral functional section can be designed, for example, as a pressure slide within a soft-elastic leg in order to actuate a valve in the central functional section.
- mechanical and / or hydraulic and / or pneumatic transmission means are provided in the area of these fluid-tight joint connections, which can comprise, for example, one or more hoses or lines or an actuating slide ,

- the fluid-tight seal can be effected in that the first joint elements provided on the fuselage are each formed in a fuselage-side joint cage and are sealed off from the fuselage cavity by a sealing wall of the associated joint cage, the mechanical and / or pneumatic and / or hydraulic transmission means are guided through the sealing walls in a fluid-tight mounting or a fluid-tight seal is effective between the sealing walls and the second joint elements.
- the first joint elements which are preferably also integrally formed on the fuselage, are partitioned off from the cavity in a cage-like manner.
- the body shell is preferably welded together from two parts, so that a sufficiently high rear grip can be formed in the area between the sealing walls and the first joint elements so that the second joint elements can be permanently locked onto the fuselage.
- the fluid-tight mounting mentioned can also fix an associated heat transfer means, for example a hose, in particular in a special embodiment by gluing or welding in a completely fluid-tight manner. Any rotary movements can then be absorbed by twisting the hose or a separate swivel bearing.
- the fluid-tight mounting itself is designed as a rotary bearing to ensure a fluid-tight rotational movement between the sealing wall and the transmission means.
- an actuating slide can be stored in a fluid-tight manner on the axis of rotation of the joint movement within the sealing wall.
- the joint cages which are preferably provided act as stiffening means in order to achieve a sealing seat which is reliable even under stress.
- the fluid-tight storage must also be guaranteed be achieved if lateral forces also act on the extremities as part of a normal handling of the game figure.
- the sealing walls are therefore designed to be more resistant to torsion than the body shell of the game figure.
- joint cages can either be used as separate components in the fuselage.
- the joint cages or two flalb shells forming a joint cage can be integrally formed on the fuselage or on its folding bodies.
- joint cages are formed as separate components, a material that is different, in particular harder, than the material of the body shell can also be used for this.
- a material that is different, in particular harder, than the material of the body shell can also be used for this.
- At least one peripheral functional section is designed as an actuating device for triggering a specific function of the functional device, in particular — as already mentioned — as a compressible chamber, as an eccentric or as a pressure slide.
- At least one peripheral functional section can be designed as an effect device, in particular as a tear outlet and / or as a food / beverage intake to ensure a predetermined playful effect.
- an effect device in particular as a tear outlet and / or as a food / beverage intake to ensure a predetermined playful effect.
- it depends on reliable means of transmission between the central functional section and the peripheral functional section, which are guided through the fluid-tight joint connections and which are designed for the respectively intended rotational movements between the trunk and extremity.
- a fuselage is provided with first articulated elements which can be brought into engagement with second, respectively correspondingly designed articulated elements on the extremities, an annular sealing means being arranged between at least one first articulated element and the associated second articulated element a fluid-tight seal of the respective joint connection also results in a rotational movement between the first and second joint element.
- This possibility of sealing can be provided as an alternative or in addition to the sealing already mentioned by means of the sealing walls in the area of the first joint elements within the fuselage.
- An embodiment without these separately provided sealing walls is preferred, since their manufacture can then be dispensed with and the active transmission means also do not have to be passed through the sealing walls.
- the ring-shaped sealing means can be designed in such a way that it is effective in the area of the bearing surface between the first and second joint element and brings about a reliable seal in any intended rotational position.
- a sealing lubricant can also be provided, such as a silicone lubricant
- first (fuselage-side) joint elements comprise a disk-shaped base plate, preferably integrally formed with the body shell, with an outer and an inner contact surface, a recess provided in the base plate for inserting the assigned second joint element having a circular inner surface is arranged and wherein on this circular inner surface receiving devices for fastening the annular sealant are provided.

- the annular sealing means can be designed as an O-ring.
- This configuration results in a permanent and reliable seal between the first and second joint element, the elasticity of the O-ring being able to compensate for manufacturing tolerances, deformations and wear.
- the annular sealing means is designed as a circumferential sealing lip which is preferably integrally formed on the fuselage side on the first joint element or the second joint element associated with an extremity with the first or with the second joint element. In the case of an integral design of this sealing lip, manufacturing and assembly costs are favorable.
- the ring-shaped sealing element can be designed as a double U-shaped cross-section or grooved ring with an outer and an inner sealing lip.
- a sealing element is particularly well suited due to its elasticity already given by the shape to compensate for any manufacturing tolerances, deformations or signs of wear.
- the body shell of the torso of the game figure is formed from two half-bodies which are welded together by the manufacturer. This gives the manufacturer more freedom in the design of the body shell. Undercut areas, in particular for the formation of the first joint elements, can also be realized in terms of production technology with reasonable effort.
- the production of the toy figure is carried out by welding two half-bodies, even if the length of the fuselage is over 150 mm, preferably over 160 mm, in particular over 170 mm.
- the arms and / or legs are stiffened in the area of the articulated connections by reinforcing inserts.
- the soft elastic arms and / or legs which are usually designed as hollow bodies, there is the problem that they can be deformed under unfortunate loading in such a way that a fluid-tight joint connection may not be guaranteed with sufficient security without reinforcement inserts. It is therefore a particular finding of the applicant that the reliability of the fluid-tight joint connection according to the invention, through which the active transmission means of a functional unit are guided, can be significantly increased by reinforcement inserts.
- the reinforcing inserts have a cylindrical base body with a radially slightly larger dimension attached to it. closing plate on.
- the reinforcing inserts are inserted into a correspondingly designed recess in the associated joint element, which is designed as a cylindrical opening, which is delimited at the top by a circumferential groove.
- the end plate reinforces the joint element up to its distal edge. Deformations of the soft-elastic arms and / or legs can then cause no deformation in the area of the articulated connections that is decisive for the functional capability of the fluid seal.
- the fluid-tight joint connections can alternatively also be designed as separate components, which are then fluid-tight between the trunk and the assigned extremity attached, in particular welded and / or glued.
- the fluid-tight joint connections could be optimized regardless of the manufacturing process of the body shell or the extremities, their fluid-sealing function and the implementation of the active agent. Connection of the active transmission means and attachment of the articulated connections on the trunk and on the extremities would then, however, trigger additional effort when assembling the game figure.
