Abstract

A B S T R A C T
DEVICE FOR DOLLS, ACTIVATOR OF HEAD MOVEMENT, VOICE SOUND AND
LIGHT.
This device is based on a piece which is moved when the doll's arm is lifted, causing her head to rotate towards that arm and closing the circuit which produces laughing sounds and sentences. On the other hand, when the doll's arm is down the circuit activation produces crying sounds. When the arm is down, the above mentioned circuit is activated by pushing the doll's head sideways, either by pulling her hair combing it or by any other circumnstance This tilt places a vertical elastic appendix on a ring - both elements are fit-ted in the head's assembly core, thus closing the above mentioned circuit. Figure n? 2.

_~fICE O~ DOLLS, ACTIVPITOR OD 1~ 7~r/ ~ .ol :E SOUND Z~ND
LIGHT .
The present invention is about a device which activates movernent of head, sound of voice and lights, in order to simulate toilette movernents.
There are currently several types of devices applicable to dolls, sometimes designed to activate le~s and/or arms, simulating to walk. Some other times, the devices move the head and even start an internal sound system which simulates speech and/or crying; but as far as it is known, there is no doll that, when her arm is lited, turns her head by herself, turning it towards a mirror held in the lifted arm, and at the same time that produces a voice saying sentences related to the cute result of her "toilette".
The object of-the invention ls a device based on which these results are obtained, apart from turning on some e~ringS ~itted on the doll. These rnovements and sounds are reproduced regularly and cyclically until a general stop switch is ac-tivated. This switch may be activated by placing a simple dummy in the doll's mouth.
When the arm is down and the doll's head is pushed sideways - either intenticnally, for example pretending to pull the doll's hair, or because the doll is having her hair "combed" -, then the doll starts crying for a certain period of time. This is repeated i, as has been sa.id, the hair is pulled or the head is pushed sideways.
The device which achieves these movements or effects is based on a piece which links the head and a teat which protrudes through the internal part of the arm. This piece is also fitted with a knob which acts on an axle which can act on a oolt to ~nak~
it move, when in a certain position, a needle holder which touches the grooves oE a record which repl-od~lces the sounds. ~ll this is also combined with contacts which - in the movements of the par-ts which also belong to the device - open or close the corresponding circuits to make the record turn and/or turn on the ~0 doll's e~rings.
There follows a complete description of the above mentioned device, referring to the set of plans attached. These plans represent, with an indicative, and not limitative, character, the following:
Figure 1 shows a view of the inside of the doll's body, showing the device when the arm is down and the head is pushed to one side, which produces crying.
Fi~lre 2 shows a view similar to the one in Fig~l, with the arm lifted.
Figure 3 shows a cross section following linè III-III of Figure 2.
Figure 4 shows a CL'OSS section following line IV-IV of Figure 2.
Figure 5 shows a section similar to the one in Fig. 4 but with the arm down.
As the above rnentioned fiyures show, the improvements descrihed, applicable to dol19,are based on a device to reproduce a series of movements and sounds accord.ing to some sequences and means established ~or such purpose.
Said device is applicable to all types o~ dolls. The figures represent part of the doll's body (1), her right arm (2), and the cylindric and turning core (3) upon which the head (4) is assembled.
A metal rin~ (5) has ~een placed concentrically to the core (3). ~n elastic pivot (6) placed on the metal ring (5) runs concentrically to that core (3) and therefore to the metal ring (5), and overhungs on the top so that, when the elastic pivot (G) touches the ring (5), a circuit closes which activates a sound device in the shape of a record (7) upon which acts the needle of a tipping arm (8). This arm (8) is placed in a limit position by a spring (9).
This tipping arm can be pushed by another articulated arm (10) i.n the end part of which there is a bevel or lower ramp (11) through which it will act upon the needle holder arm (8). The ~0 articulated arm (10) is linked throuyh the opposite end of the ramp (11) to an axle (12) which is activated ~y a knob (13). This ~nob is part of a piece (14), lin~ed to the head (4) assembly core (3), which is laterally pro-jec-ted along a cranked blade (15) with an opening (16) where an appendix (1~) ylays parallel to the articulation axle (1~) of the a~rn (2), although excentric to the said axle (19).
The articulated arm (10) has a pi.voting a~le (17) placed about half way through it, and in an idle mode -i.e., when the axle (12) is no-t driven ~y the knob (13), detached from the needle holder arm (8) by a spring (23) which acts upon the axle (12).
Two metal branches (20) are linked either in the lower part o~ the head (4) assem~ly core (3), or in the very piece (1~) 1~ linked to said core (3). These branches (20) are at an angle and capable of es-tablishing contact wit~l two terminals (~1) supplied for such purpose on a sheet (22) which is part of the doll's structure or framework.
The sound record (7) is activated by a small engine (24), ~0 and both this engine (24) and the whole circuit recives its power from a battery (25).
According to the structural charac-teristics of the device and all the o-ther parts and elemen-ts associated to it, as have been described, the device operates as follows:
One must bear in mind that there will be a general switch which cuts off the electricity supply to the whole unit, which may be in the shape oE a dummy when placed in the doll's mouth.
When the arm (2) is down, as in figures 1 and 5, and the head (4) is pushed sideways - either because the hair is beiny pulled when it is combed or just because it is so pushed - then the elastic appendix ~6) comes into contact with the ring (5), closing the circuit which starts up the small enyine (24) and the sound record (7? with it, producing a crying sourld for a cer-taln period of time. This sound will be repeated whenever either of above mentioned actiones takes place.

IE the arm is lifted (2), as in figure.s 2, 3 ancl 4, the swinging movement oE the arm (2) carries with it a swing of the appendix (1~), and a partial turn of the blade (15) which will -then turn, partially, the heacl (4). The head (4) turns right, simulating to look into a mirror held in the right arm's hand which, as it is lifted, is placed at the level of the doll's face. This rotation of the head, which is obviously caused ~y the rotation of the core (3), causes the piece's (14) knob (1~) to act upon the axle or shank (12), push.ing it backwards, which will in turn swing downwards the end of the articulated arm (10). This pushes the needle holder arrn (8), with a ramp (11), moving the arm (8) inwards, i.e. towards the innermost part of the sound record (7), which this time will produce, for example, laughing sounds and sentences about the cute result of the doll's toilette. The above mentioned movemen-ts also close a circuit which activates -the small engine (24), sinc0 this rotation will have placed the metal branches or arms t20) on the terminal 5 or contacts (21), closing a-t the same tirne a circuit which will turn on some diodes or lightirlg elernents connected to, for example, the doll's earingS.
Summarising, the device operates as follows:
When the doll's arm (Z) is down, if her hair is pulled or cornbed in an~ position, the doll will cry for a few seconds. If her hair is pulled or cornbed again, -the cycle will he repea-ted.
When the doll's arm (2) is lifted until the mirror she holds in her hand is placed in front of her face, her head (4) will t~lrn towards her rigth arm (2), the earings will light and a laughing voice will say cheerful sentences. The voice will be repeated until the doll's arm is lowered or the dummy placed in her mouth.

Claims

C L A I M S
Device for dolls, activator of head movement, voice sound and lights. The present invention is based on a device -to move the head and at the same time activate an electric circuit-to star-t up a sound device which produces a crying sound an-l a laughing sound together with certain sentences. Its main characteristics are that -the activator itself links the doll's right arm and her head, and is made up of a piece connected to the head's assembly core. This piece is laterally projected in a cranked blade with an opening where an appendix plays which comes out from the arm's internal side, near and parallel to the arm's rotation axle, so that when the arm is swung up it causes the piece linked to the head's assembly core to turn, which makes the head turn and closes the sound device activator circuit as well as the lighting circuit of two lamps corresponding to two ?? fitted in the doll's head. This rotation of the head moves the needle holder arm and places it on the inner part of the sound record to reproduce laughs and cheerful noises. This movement of the needle holder arm is done along an articulated arm to which an axle or shank is linked. This axle is driven by a knob which comes out from the piece linked to the head's assembly core.
2_.- Device for dolls, activator of head movement, voice .sound and lights, according to claim 1, characterized because when the arm is lifted, the head turns towards that arm so that the doll's eyes are faced with an object, such as a mirror held in the doll's hand.
3_.- Device for dolls, activator of head movement, voice sound and lights, according to previous claims, characterized because the circuit which activates the sound device is closed when the head turns by means of two metal sheets or branches protruding from the piece linked to the head's assembly core.
During the rotation, these sheets or branches will touch the corresponding terminals thus closing the sound device activating circuit and the lighting circuit for the lamps placed in the doll's earings 4_.- Device for dolls, activator of head movement, voice sound and lights, according to previous claims, characterized because the needle holder arm of the sound device is placed in a position where a spring makes it touch the outer part of the record. The articulated arm which can move this needle holder arm is detached from it by the action of a spring upon an axle or shank attached to the end of the articulated arm. This articulated arm is provided with a ramp in its inner side through which it acts on the needle holder arm.
5_.- Device for dolls, activator of head movement, voice sound and lights, according to previous claims, characterised because this is a metal ring concentric to the head's assembly core, which can connect an elastic shank which is placed concentrically to the ring itself and overhanging above it, in order to close the activating circuit of the sound device. When the arm is down and the head is swung sideways because the doll's hair is pulled - either because it is being combed or for any other reason, the elastic shank comes into contact with the ring, therefore the activating circuit of the sound device is closed and it produces a crying sound.
