- Application filed December 12', 1931; Serial No. 580,513.

This invention relates tonew and useful improvements in a doll and prooessfor manufacturing the same.

The invention has for an object the con- 5 struction of a doll which is characterized by the provision of rubberized or gunnned ravelproof fabric appliqued thereon to form the features thereof and suppl'ementarily secured with stitches.

As a further object of this invention it is propose'd'to construct the doll from a variety of colored fabrics pieced together so that it resembles a dressed doll, and to stud this material in the formation of the doll proper.

Furthermore, as another object of this in ventionisproposed to form the features of: the doll by placing preshaped and cut gumincd ravel proof applique material or patches upon the material of the doll and 30 moving. the cut applique pieces with ones finger along to positions which produce satisfactory expressions either by skill or by following preprint'ed outlines on the face or other part of the doll, and thereafter stitching the applique in place.

Furthermore, the invention also proposes superimposed applique arranged on an already appliqued surface so that the upper ones may be rearranged or removed to change the expression of the doll.

Another object of this invention is the construction of an article of the class described which is of simple, durable construction, dependable in use and efficient in operation,

which can be manufactured and sold at reasonable cost.

For further comprehension of the inve-n- Fig. i is a fragmentary view of a portion of Fig. 1 showing in detail the applique which forms the expression of the face.

Fig. 5 is a sectional view taken on the line 55 of Fig. 4:.

Fig. 6 is a view similar to Fig. 4 but ill-ustrating a. modification.

Fig. 7 is a sectional View taken on the line 77 of Fig. 6.

The doll, according to this invention, comprises material in the form of a doll and having preformed and cut ravelproof applique pieces or patches 10 gummed on one side and pasted thereon for forming the features there of. This pasted applique is permanently secured down by stitches 11 along the perimeters thereof. The material forming the doll is such as to simulate a completely dressed doll. The formed material is directly stuffed with kapok, sawdust or other similar stuiiing material 12. The doll isshown to'havea head 18' provided with a hat l4 and having a band 15 at the front. Hair 16 extends from beneath the hat. A collar 17 connects the head to the body portion 18 which is decorated to simulate a ersey. Hands 19 are shown projecting from the sleeves of the jersey. The jersey ends in a band 20 below which the legs 21 project. These legs have pieces 22 secured upon the bottom ends to simulate shoes.

The preformed applique is ravelproofed to improve the appearance of the doll by forming finished unravel edges and is made sanitary for a child to handle since the edges do not contain removable threads.

The applique or patches 10 are formed with ravelproof material gummed at 23, on the rear'sides. This gummed applique should be pressed with ones finger in its proper place against the material of the doll and shifted about until it assumes a position in which the expression of the doll is what is desired. The gum is supplemented with stitches 11. The heat and pressure of ones finger is applied to secure the applique in position but still allow the applique to be shifted on thematerial of the doll by lifting or raising the applique material and thereafter replacing it in the desired place cover the lower applique or the lower ap-' plique may be only partially covered by the super-imposed applique. It is arranged in place by the pressure and heat of the finger on the gummed side, lifting it to be shifted around to the best position, and then secur ing it permanently with the addition of stitches 26. The expression of the doll may be changed by cutting the stitches 26 and removing the top applique 24 so that the bottom applique is now exposed. 1 It is to beunderstood that the shape, features and action of the doll may be changed as desired and that any number of appliques or patches may be secured on any part of the doll. I Y

lVhile I have shown and described the preferred embodiment of my invention, it is to be understood that I do not limit myself to the precise construction herein disclosed and the right is reserved to all changes and modifications coming within the scope of the invention as defined in the appended claims.

Having thus described'my invention what I claim as new, and desire to secure by United States Letters Patent is 1. A doll, comprising material in the form of a doll, applique patches thereon to form the features thereof, larger applique patches over said patches to form different features thereof, and means to hold the outer applique patches in place to allow removing to ex- .pose the inner ones. I

2. In a doll having features, means for changing the features, comprising applique patches in the form of different features attached upon the doll so as to cover the original features.

3. In a doll having features, means for changing the features, comprising applique patches in the'form of features, and means for attaching said patches upon the doll so as to cover the original features, said latter means destructable .to cause the patches to be removable to expose the original features.

4:. A doll, comprising a cloth casing and stufling material in the form of a doll, applique patches thereon to form the features thereof, large applique patches over said patches to cover the features thereof, said latter mentioned applique patches being stitched to the cloth casing material in a manner so as to be removable to expose the other applique patches.

5. A doll, comprising a cloth casing and stufing material in the form of a doll, applique patches thereon to form the features thereof, large applique patches over said patches to cover the features thereof, said latter mentioned applique patches being stitched to the cloth casing material in a manner so as to be removable to expose the other applique patches, the stitches of said larger applique patches being arranged around the perimeter of said patches.

In testimony whereof I have afiixed my signature.
