Doll having adjustable length hair
First Claim
1. A toy doll comprising:
- a doll head having an aperture extending therethrough;
a doll body supporting the doll head;
a tubular member having a first end extending into the doll head proximate the aperture and a second end extending into the doll body;
a plug member within the tubular member, the plug member being movable toward the first end or toward the second end of the tubular member;
a lock of doll hair secured to the plug member such that at least a portion of the lock of hair extends out of the first end of the tubular member and out of the head aperture;
an electric motor within the doll body, the motor having an output shaft rotatable in first and second directions; and
a movement assembly interconnecting the plug member and the output shaft of the motor so that when the output shaft rotates in the first direction the plug member moves toward the first end of the tubular member to move a length of the lock of hair out of the head aperture and when the output shaft rotates in the second direction the plug member moves toward the second end of the tubular member to withdraw a length of the lock of hair into the head aperture.

Abstract
A toy doll has a doll head having an aperture and a doll body supporting the doll head. A tubular member has a first end extending into the doll head proximate the aperture and a second end extending into the doll body. A plug member is movable within the tubular member either toward the first end or toward the second end. A lock of doll hair is secured to the plug member so that at least a portion of the lock of doll hair extends out of the tubular member and out of the head aperture. An electric motor within the doll body includes an output shaft rotatable in first and second directions. A movement assembly interconnects the plug member and the output shaft of the motor so that when the output shaft rotates in the first direction, the plug member moves toward the first end of the tubular member to move a length of a lock of hair out of the head aperture, and when the output shaft rotates in the second direction, the plug member moves toward the second end of the tubular member to withdraw a length of the lock hair into the head aperture.

12. A toy doll comprising:
-
a doll head having an aperture extending thereinto; a doll body supporting the doll head; a tube having a first end extending in the doll head from proximate the aperture and a second opposing end in the doll body; a plug member movable within the tube toward the first end or toward the second end of the tube; a lock of doll hair secured to the plug member and positioned such that at least a portion of the lock of hair extends out of the first end of the tube and out of the head aperture in any position taken by the plug member in the tube; an electric motor within one of the doll head and the doll body, the motor having an output shaft rotatable by the motor in first and second directions; and a movement member coupled with the plug member and interposed mechanically between the plug member and the output shaft of the motor such that when the motor rotates the output shaft in the first direction, the movement member moves in response and moves the plug member toward the first end of the tube, so as to move a length of the lock of hair out of the head aperture and, when the motor rotates the output shaft in the second direction, the movement member moves in response and moves the plug member toward the second end of the tube so as to withdraw a length of the lock of hair into the head aperture and the tube. - View Dependent Claims (13, 14, 15, 16)

17. A toy doll comprising:
-
a doll figure including a head having an aperture extending thereinto and a doll body supporting the doll head; a tube having a first end extending in the doll head from proximate the aperture and a second opposing end in the doll figure; a plug member movable within the tube toward the first end or toward the second end of the tube; a lock of doll hair secured to the plug member and positioned such that at least a portion of the lock of hair extends out of the first end of the tube and out of the head aperture in any position taken by the plug member in the tube; an electric motor within the doll figure, the motor having an output shaft rotatable by the motor in first and second directions; and movement means including a movement member coupled with the plug member, the movement means being interposed mechanically between the plug member and the output shaft of the motor for moving the plug member with the movement member toward the first end of the tube when the motor rotates the output shaft in the first direction and for moving the plug member with the movement member toward the second end of the tube when the motor rotates the output shaft in the second direction. - View Dependent Claims (18)
