DOLL KIT CONSISTING OF ACCESSORY ELEMENTS

The invention refers to a doll that can be assembled using accessory elements, it has been designed so that it is made up of a number of parts that can be assembled and disassembled, constituting specific sections of the body of the doll and that when separate they constitute accessory elements that can be used as toys.

Specifically the doll object of this invention is characterized because the parts making up its feet, legs, body, bust-head and dress are independent parts or elements that can be used as toy accessories, given that they shall in each case constitute a different object such as a bottle, basket, etc., whereas its proper coupling will conform the doll itself.

The elements or accessories making up the doll shall be fitted with appropriate coupling means in order to ensure the proper assembly of the doll without any risk of crumbling or uncoupling thereof.

The doll parts and/or extremities making up the elements taking part in the set specifically constitute small containers, bottles, a basket, a dressing table or case and similar accessories, that can be used by the child as separate toy components or accessories within a set.

In short, it is a do]l with a double toy version or entertainment for the child, as on the one hand it allows said child the capability of assembling and disassembling all the elements to build up the doll and on the other hand, to play with said elements, as when they are disassembled said elements constitute separate accessories that can be used as toys.

~ 21692~1 In order to complement the description effected below and with the aim of aiding towards a better understanding of tlie features of the invention, a detailed description is herein offered based on a set of drawings attached to this patent specification, as an integral part thereof, and where, with a merely indicative but not limitative character, the following has been duly represented:

Figure 1 shows a exploded perspective representation of the doll object of the invention, in which all the elements or accessories making it up may be separately observed.

Figure 2 represents a frontal perspective view of the doll already fully assembled, that is to say, with all the elements coupled to each other.

In said figures, the numerical references correspond to the following parts and elements:

1.- Elements constituting its feet or container shaped accessories.
2.- Upper cap for the containers or elements (1).

3.- Elements constituting the legs or bottle shaped accessories.

4.- Upper cap for the bottles or elements (3).

5.- Element constituting the waist or basket shaped accessory.

6.- Perimetral cloth of the element (5), making up the skirt or the lower portion of a dress.

7.- Handles of the accessory or element (5).

8.- Element constituting the body or dressing table shaped accessory.

9.- Handles of the accessory or element (8).

10.- Decorative ornament of the accessory or element (8).

11.- Rlement constituting the head-bust.

- 2169~51 12.- Circular cloth segment constituting the upper portion of the dress.

13.- Adhesive end of the circular cloth segment (12).

14.- Lateral extension of the circular segment (12), constituting the arms and the hands.

As may be observed in the above referenced figures, the doll object of this invention is made up by the coupling of a number of separate elements, each of which sllall constitute, when separate, a toy accessory.

Thus, each one of the shoes (1) consist of an element constituting a small container with its corresponding cap (2). That is to say, the shoes ~1) constitute a toy accessory.

Each of the legs consist of an element constituting a bottle similarly fitted with its corresponding cap (4), thus defining a further toy accessory.
Evidently, the upper portion of the accessories or shoes (1) and the lower portion of the accessories or legs (3) are fitted with complementary coupling means, which may take the form of pressure joining, threading, locking together, etc., as long as the system used allows said accessories (1) and (3) to be coupled and joined together in order to form, in each case, the lower extremity of the doll.

The section corresponding to the waist of the doll consists of a ring shaped element (5) fitted with a perimetral piece of cloth (6) defining a skirt or lower portion of a dress, the whole assembly constituting a basket shaped accessory with its corresponding handles (7).

~1~925~

Said element or basket (5) shall have a rigid bottom and be fitted with circular hollows or depressions enabling the upper portion of the accessories constituting the legs to be duly coupled therein (3).
The section corresponding to the body of the doll is made up by another element (8) of mostly cylindrical configuration, fitted with handles (9) and adequate decorative elements (10) in order to define an accessory constituting a dressing table, which shall similarly have means fit to enable its proper coupling to the element or basket (5).

The dressing table or accessory (8) may be internally divided to form separate compartments, thus enabling different toiletry products and/or articles to be stored therein.

The bust and head of the doll consist of an element (11) which may constitute another toy accessory, element (11) i.s coupled upon the upper portion of the element or dressing table (8).

Therefore, the coupling of the above elements (1), (3), (5), (8) and (11) shall then make up the doll object of this invention, complemented by a circular cloth segment (12) fitted with an adhesive strip (13) to attach it whenever the cloth (12) is arranged around the lower portion or body of the element (11).
Evidently, the coupling means used between the various elements menti.oned above shall be the most adequate and convenient in each specific case. so that they will enable their easy disassembly or uncoupling, but at the same time preventing any accidental or involuntary uncoupling of the - 2169~1 parts.

The doll shall furthermore incorporate the corresponding arms and hands, duly formed by lateral extensions (14) of the circular segment or dress (12).

The accessory or basket (5) handles (7) form some kind of belt upon assembly; whereas the handles (9) of the accessory or dressing table (10) define suspenders that can be used for the assembly of the doll itself.
