Design Registration No. 1573557

Although the conventional structure shown in Patent Document 1 is formed of a non-deformable material for the front legs, it is difficult to realize a stuffed animal made of a soft material that is easily deformed. In addition, four-legged stuffed animals, penguin stuffed animals, etc. are simply used as decorations placed on a desk or shelf. Therefore, it is often required to be placed on the installation surface without falling over.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION An object of the present invention is to provide a four-legged stuffed animal and a stuffed penguin that can not only be hooked on a plate-like standing body but also can be placed on an installation surface without overturning.

Another object of the present invention is to provide a stuffed sea mammal that can be hooked on a plate-like upright.

A first invention of the present application is directed to a stuffed toy of a four-legged animal having at least a head, a trunk, front legs and hind legs, including an enclosing member made of a soft material. In the four-legged stuffed animal of the present invention, a weight-increasing member made of a denser material than the enclosing member is housed in the forefoot portion, and the forefoot portion is inclined toward the hindfoot portion. The state in which the forefoot part is inclined toward the rear foot part can be achieved, for example, by devising the mounting state in the manufacturing process. Then, with the rear legs and the buttocks included in the torso placed on the installation surface, the center of gravity position in that state is determined so that the stuffed animal does not fall over, and the front legs are made into a standing plate like a monitor of a personal computer. While hooked on the upper edge of the plate-like body, the front legs contact the upper edge and the front of the plate-like standing body, and the hind legs contact the back side of the plate-like standing body, or the trunk contacts the back side. In order to prevent the stuffed animal from falling, the weight and shape of each of the constituent parts including at least the head, body, front legs and hind legs, and adjacent other parts to determine the position of the center of gravity in that state. The attitude to the constituent parts of the

In this way, even in a stuffed animal with four legs, the presence of the weight-increasing member arranged in the forefoot portion and the inclination of the forefoot portion toward the hindfoot portion allow the forefoot portion to be raised like a plate. Firm contact can be made with the top edge and front face of the solid. In addition, each component including at least the head, torso, front legs, and hind legs is adjusted so that the center of gravity when the stuffed toy is placed on the installation surface and the center of gravity when hooked on the plate-like standing body are appropriate. Due to the weight, shape and attitude relative to other adjacent components, the likelihood of undesired tumbles and falls in each case can be reduced.

If the plate-shaped stand is the monitor of a personal computer, with the front feet hooked on the upper edge of the monitor of the personal computer, the head should face forward on the upper edge of the monitor. Preferably, the posture of the buttocks relative to the torso is defined. In this way, the user of the personal computer can see the face of the stuffed toy, so that a relaxing environment can be created even during work.

The weight increasing member can consist of a weight bag filled with a plurality of beads. In this way, the weight can be appropriately adjusted by adjusting the amount of beads, and even if the forefoot portion is touched from the outside, the possibility of tactilely recognizing the presence of a heavy object is reduced, and the user feels an increase in weight. An effect is obtained in which the presence of the member is not conscious. The weight bag is then preferably fixedly positioned within the forefoot. By fixing the weight bag in this manner, it is possible to suppress fluctuations in the position of the center of gravity, thereby suppressing unexpected overturning or falling of the stuffed toy.

A second aspect of the invention of the present application is a stuffed penguin comprising at least a head, a body, wings and feet, including an enclosing member made of a soft material. In this invention, the weight-increasing member made of a material having a higher density than the enclosing member is housed in the wing portion. Also, the wings are inclined so as to face the feet. Then, with the buttocks included in the legs and torso attached to the installation surface, the center of gravity position in that state is determined so that the stuffed penguin will not fall over, and the wings are shaped like a plate like a monitor of a personal computer. When hooked on the upper edge of the upright, the wings contact the upper edge and the front of the plate-like upright and the legs contact the back of the plate-like upright, or a part of the body is in contact with the back of the plate-like upright. The weight and shape of each of the head, torso, wings, and feet, as well as the adjacent other parts, to determine the center of gravity position in that state so as to contact the back surface and prevent the stuffed penguin from falling. Attitudes to components are defined. By doing so, an effect similar to that of a stuffed toy of a four-legged animal can be obtained.

Also in this case, if the plate-shaped upright is the monitor of a personal computer, the head should face the front on the upper edge of the monitor while the wings are hooked on the upper edge of the monitor of the personal computer. Preferably, the head is oriented relative to the torso. Further, it is preferred that the weight increasing member is made from a weight bag filled with a plurality of beads, the weight bag being fixedly arranged within said wing.

A third invention of the present application is a stuffed sea mammal comprising, as constituent parts, at least a head, a body, a front fin and a caudal fin including an enclosing member made of a soft material. In this invention, the weight-increasing member made of a material having a higher density than the surrounding member is housed in the front fin, and the trunk is curved so that the front fin and the caudal fin are closer to each other. On top of that, with the front fin part hooked on the upper edge of a plate-shaped upright body such as a monitor part of a personal computer, the front fin part contacts the upper edge part and the front of the plate-shaped upright body, and the tail fin part The head, the front fins, and the body are arranged so as to determine the center of gravity in that state so that the stuffed animal comes into contact with the back of the plate-shaped upright or the body contacts the back and prevents the stuffed animal from falling. and caudal fin, and their respective weights, shapes, and attitudes relative to other adjacent components.

Also in this case, if the plate-like upright body is a monitor of a personal computer, the front fin is hooked on the upper edge of the monitor of the personal computer, and the head is placed in front of the upper edge of the monitor. Preferably, the head is oriented with respect to the torso. Further, it is preferred that the weight increasing member comprises a weighted bag filled with a plurality of beads, the weighted bag being fixedly positioned within the forefoot.
