IMPROVEMENT iN DOLL-JOINTS.
`vSpecification forming partof Letters Patent No. 139,130, dated May 20, 1873 application filed February 21, 1873..
and arms; and it consists in the manner of forming the joints and securing the requisite friction thereto. l
1n the accompanying drawing, Figure 1 represents a doll-body with the joints constructed according to rnyinvention. Fig. 2 is a leg detached, giving a front view of the joint. Fig. 3 represents the mode of connecting the arms with the shoulders. Fig. 4 is an end view of the arm-pivot.
Similar letters of reference indicate corresponding parts.
In the manufacture of dolls it is important to secure sufficient friction at the joints of the limbs to hold the limbs and body in any desired position, so that the doll may stand erect or in an inclined position, or be supported on its head by the arms.
This friction I obtain by means of a slot, A, and tenon B, fastened together by the pivotpin O. The tenon B is divided by a saw-kerf, D. The double tenon is designed to fit the slot a little full, and the double tenon be sprun g together slightly, when the tenon enters the slot, thus producing the requisite friction, and preventing anyvbinding or looseness by the shrinking and swelling of the wood at any time. slit at right angles, as seen in Fig. 4, and fitted into a round`socket, G, having a groove, F, to receive a pin, so that the arm will be securely held, while it Willfre'ely revolve. The socket is a little smaller at the back end, so that the shoulder-piece is compressed, as represented, which secures at this point the required degrec of friction.4 The arm is attached to the shoulderpiece in the manner already described.
The tendency of the two parts of the tenon to spread when compressed in the slot is constant, and compensates for wear, and affords the necessary friction.
Having thus described my invention, I clailn as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent- A dolljoint constructed and formed substantially as shown and described-that is,
with the slot A and teuon B, the latter having the saw-kerf D, as set forth.
