Abstract

A toy doll consisting of a head provided with sockets within which eyes are mounted for rotation, and open lips forming a mouth; a torso provided with a flexible bellows which is contracted upon the depression of a button located centrally of the torso to expel air outwardly therefrom, and a spring normally urging the bellows to assume its expanded position; a conduit operatively connecting the lips of the head to the interior of the bellows and a sound producing mechanism located in the conduit in the vicinity of the lips so as to produce a kissing sound as air is permitted to pass inwardly through the lips after the button is released; and a rotatably mounted arm actuated by the inward movement of the button for rotating the eyes within their associated sockets.

Claims

1. A toy doll that interacts with body contact with the child to produce a kissing sound and eye movement, comprising a head, sockets provided within said head, eyes, means mounting said eyes to rotate within said sockets between open and closed positions, and lips defining an opening therebetween, a torso provided with a flexible, enclosed bag therein, means normally urging said bag to its expanded position, a conduit provided with sound producing means operatively connecting said opening between said lips of said head and the interior of said bag, said sound producing means only producing a sound on the intake of air through said opening between said lips into said conduit, a button positioned along the surface of said torso for operation by the child, means operatively connecting said button to said bag and said eyes such that as the child depresses said button said eyes are rotated from said open to said closed position simultaneously with said bag being compressed to expel air therefrom at which time the child engages said lips of said doll closing said opening therebetween and thereafter gradually releases the engagement with said lips permitting air to move inwardly through said lips at which time said eyes rotate from said closed to said open position simultaneously with the operation of said sound producing means.

2. A toy doll as in claim 1, wherein said means operatively connecting said button to said bag and said eyes comprises an arm, means mounting said arm for rotation within said torso about an axis, said arm having a lower extremity below said axis a portion of which is positioned between one end of said bag and said button, said arm also having an upper extremity above said axis and terminating at a position spaced rearwardly of said sockets, rods, means mounting said rods for reciprocating movement through portions of said sockets, each of said rods having one end portion engaging said upper extremity of said arm and another end portion engaging the upper portion of one of said eyes such that upon rotation about said axis said upper extremity of said arm moves said rods inwardly rotating said eyes to said closed position.

3. A toy doll as in claim 2, wherein said means mounting said eyes to rotate within said sockets between open and closed positions comprises pins mounted within said sockets, said eyes being mounted for rotation about said pins, and wherein weights are attached to the lower portions of said eyes inwardly of said pins.

4. A toy doll, comprising a head, sockets within said head, eyes mounted for rotation within said sockets, rods attached to said eyes and extending into said head, and lips defining an opening therebetween, a torso connected to said head and provided with a frame therein, a flexible enclosed bag mounted within said frame, a button having one side positioned along the surface of said torso and the other side thereof located at one end of said frame such that as said button is depressed said bag is contracted expelling air therefrom, a spring interposed between said button and said frame normally urging said bag to its expanded position, a conduit operatively connecting said opening between said lips of said head and the interior of said bag, a sound producing mechanism located within said conduit, a member attached to said frame and extending outwardly therefrom, an arm mounted for rotation about a point on said member, said arm operatively connected to said button, the upper extremity of said arm terminating adjacent said rods when said bag is fully expanded such that as said button is depressed said arm rOtates so as to move said rods rotating said eyes, said arm rotating in the opposite direction as said bag expands.
