Process for the formation of the head doll, head of the doll, and process of manufacture of the head doll.

摘要

A first sheet (3A) of weft-knitted polyester capable of stretching in two perpendicular directions and a first lining (3B) of polyester fabric are attached to opposite sides of a first 12mm thick sheet (3C) of foamed polyurethane/polyester by means of an acrylic adhesive to form a first laminate (3) which is heat and pressure molded to form a face portion (1) and an integral neck extension (8) having two ends (9 and 10). A second sheet (18A) of weft- knitted polyester fabric capable of stretching in two perpendicular directions and a second sheet (18B) of polyester fabric are attached to opposite sides of a second 12mm thick sheet (18C) of foamed polyurethane/polyester by means of an acrylic resin adhesive to form a second laminate (18) which is heat and pressure molded to form a crown portion (11). The crown portion (11) is sewn to the face portion (1) and the integral neck extension (8) to form part of an outer casing. The two ends (9 and 10) of the neck extension (8) are sewn together to form a tubular neck portion (2) and complete the outer casing. The outer casing is then filled with stuffing (12). The first and second sheets (3A and 18A) of weft-knitted polyester are colored by a sublimation printing process. IMAGE
