' DOLL.

- 7 Application filed March 20, 1925.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, PAULINE HENRIETTE VAN LAAR, subject of Netherlands, residing at Gerzensee, Canton of Berne, Switzerland, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in a D011, of which the following is a specification.

The present invention relates to a doll which is normally used as a toy but which if convenient may also be transformed into a pillow.

In the drawing one working form of the object of the invention is represented as an example.

Fig. 1 is a front view of the doll, Fig. 2 a side view of the doll transformed into a pillow, and Figs. 3 and L show the under and upper sides of this pillow.

According to the drawing the trunk 1 of the doll is a thin square pillow having rigidly attached to its side-edges two loops 2 representing the arms with hands put in the pockets. The legs 3 are loosely attached as is also the head 4 which is intended to form the stuffing of the pillow and is very enlarged so as to cover nearly the whole trunk when laid across the same. The legs stuck through the loops have to maintain the head put across the trunk the back side of which is forming the upperside of the pillow.

The doll may also be provided with a neck-tie 5 which attached to the trunk only on its front side may be used as a handle to carry the doll after its transformation into a pillow.

As a doll is easily soiled and would as such be unfit for being used as a pillow some buttons 6 or other suitable means are provided on the back of the doll that is on the upper side of the pillow which means are adapted to attach a pillow-case 7 thereto.

All limbs of the doll are stulfed and on the whole any hard'body which might hurt a child is avoided, even the buttons 6 are made of soft stuff.

Serial No. 17,128.
