Simulated toy commode
First Claim
1. A simulated toy commode comprising in combination:
- a vessel having spaced apart clear walls defining an annular space of a first predetermined volume;
the annular space having opposed ends;
a first annular reservoir mounted in fluid communication with one of the opposed ends of the annular space;
a second annular reservoir mounted in fluid communication with the other of the opposed ends of the annular space;
a first valve associated with the first reservoir for controlling fluid communication between the annular space and the first reservoir;
a second valve associated with the second reservoir for controlling fluid communication between the annular space and the second reservoir;
the first reservoir having a second predetermined volume equal to or greater than the first predetermined volume;
the second reservoir having a third predetermined volume equal to or greater than the first predetermined volume;
a volume of liquid less than or equal to the first predetermined volume contained in the vessel;
a housing removeably receiving the vessel with one of the first or second reservoirs in an upper position and the other of the first or second reservoirs in a lower position;
first means carried by the housing for selectively operating the one of the first or second valves associated with the reservoir in the upper position to effect fluid transfer of the liquid from the reservoir in the upper portion to the annular space;
means providing for closure of the one of the first or second valves associated with the reservoir in the lower position to prevent fluid transfer of the liquid from the annular space to the reservoir in the lower position; and
second means carried by the housing for selectively operating the other of the first or second valves associated with the reservoir in the lower position to effect fluid transfer of the liquid from the annular space to the reservoir in the lower position.

Abstract
An simulated toy commode or potty for dolls including a removeable vessel having clear spaced apart walls defining an annular space. Similar reservoirs are mounted above and below the annular and are in controlled fluid communication with the annular space. A predetermined volume of liquid wholly containable in any one of the annular space or either reservoir is sealed within the vessel. Similar valves control the flow of the liquid between each of the reservoirs and the annular space. The vessel is removeably positionable in a housing that includes a hinged seat carrying an actuator for the upper one of the reservoirs so that upon downward movement of the seat the upper reservoir is emptied into the annular space. A flushing lever carried by the housing is linked to an actuator for the valve of the lower one of the reservoirs so that upon operation of the flushing lever, the liquid is drained from the annular space into the lower one of the reservoirs. The vessel is removed and inverted for another cycle of play.
