MECHANICAL EYES.

Application filed October 13, 1919. Serial No. 330,329.

T 0 all to 710m it may concern:

and useful Improvements in Mechanical Eyes, of which the following is a specification.

This invention relates to mechanical eyes for dolls and the like and its object is to provide pivotal means for the eyes which are easily alined, adjusted and locatedin the head of the doll so that the position and motion of the eyes will be correct. 7

Other details andobjects of the invention are more fully described in the following specification, set forth in the appended claim and illustrated in the accompanying drawings, wherein:

Figure 1 is a vertical sectional view through the head of a doll looking toward the front of the same,

Fig. 2 is a side view of the frame carrying the eyes,

Fig. 3 1s a front view of the same.

In mounting mechanical eyes on the frame.

which carries and operates them and securing the same in the sockets of the dolls head, great difficulty is experienced in so locating them that they are alinedand properly fit the sockets so that the eyes are identical in positionand move in unison.

The sockets are rarely identical and the frame often becomes bent and dislocates one of the eyes, and after a great deal of work and patience it is found that, when finally located in the dolls head, the eyes are not yet true.

In the present invention the frame for carrying the eyes 5, consists of the vertical rod 6, carrying the weight 7, and whose upper end 8, constitutes a spring to resist'the sudden rear movement of the weight and the excessive movement of the eyes.

A cross bar 9, which is substantially U- shaped, carries on each end 10, one of the eyes 5, being embedded in the cement with which the eyes are ZAIDEN, a citifilled. It is evident that in hasty workthat these ends are "not identlcally located 1n the eyes so that the pupils the socket and one the other. 7 V

' In each eye and on its outer side is drilled a small socket, care being taken that they these sockets are placed the horizontal ends 11, of small brackets 12, preferably; made of wire andloosely fitted so that the eyes are free to rotate thereon. The brackets have rings 13 attheir upper ends and when the eyes are properly locatedin the sockets,

the brackets are cemented to the head on the inside by means of the rings cementputty orwax.

This operation may be promptly performed and the bracketsmay be relied upon to securely hold the eyes in place when once located. r

The weight 7, is fitted with a rubber buffer 14, at its front end as usual to protect the inside of the head.

It is obvious that the parts may be otherwise arranged or modified without departing from the essential features above described or-from the scope of the appended claim.

What I claim as new is 1 r In mechanical eyes, the combination of eyes carried at the ends of a horizontal bar and having sockets at their outer edges, a vertical resilient rod attached to the cross bar and comprising a spring at its upper end and carrying a muffled weight at its lower end, and hooks adapted to enter the and a suitable interior of a dolls head.

Specification of Itetters Patent. Patented Apr. 5-, 1921.

a o I u V may differ in the1r location when fitted in' be higher or lower than are on theline of the two pupils, and into In testimony whereof, I, have signed name to this specification in the presence of two subscribing witnesses, this 27th day of September, 1919.
