Description
- The present disclosure generally relates to toys and, more particularly, to a doll having multiple removable limbs and heads.
- A doll is a representation of a human being and they have been used for various purposes since before recorded human history. Dolls have traditionally been provided as children's play toys, and have historically been associated with girls, although there is a popular genre of so-called “action figure” dolls that have historically been popular with boys.
- Dolls have also been used for various teaching purposes, instead of or in addition to their use in play. For example, dolls may be used to position a figure for use as a reference by an artist, used in the training of various health procedures, used to develop interests in dress and cosmetology, and many other educational uses.
- Dolls may also be used for education in the field of historical characters and historical dress. Dolls may be made that represent specific or generic historical figures, illustrating the dress of the times and perhaps well-known associations with the specific character represented by the doll. Toy soldiers are one form of doll representing historical figures that have traditionally been favored by boys. However, prior art dolls have significant limitations. Because they are limited to an individual character that is being depicted, they require additional dolls to be purchased in order to represent additional characters. Additionally, such dolls do not create much sense of creativity (and related interest) on the part of children playing with them.

- Certain disclosed embodiments use utilize a doll having a body to which multiple heads and limbs may be removably attached and rearranged. Certain disclosed embodiments include clothing that may also be removably attached and rearranged. Certain disclosed embodiments include two heads and four limbs that may be used to create dual characters with a single doll, thereby encouraging children to be creative, mix characters using one doll, and provide a name for the doll that is a combination of the names of the two individual characters.
- In one embodiment, a doll is disclosed, comprising a body having at least one fastener half of a first sex; at least two heads, each of the at least two heads having a fastener half of a second sex operative to mate with one of said at least one fastener half of a first sex; at least two arms, each of the at least two arms having a fastener half of a second sex operative to mate with one of said at least one fastener half of a first sex; and at least two legs, each of the at least two legs having a fastener half of a second sex operative to mate with one of said at least one fastener half of a first sex.
- In another embodiment, a doll is disclosed, comprising a body; and at least two heads, each of the at least two heads being releasably attached to said body.
- Other embodiments are also disclosed.

Thebody 12, like the remaining components of thedoll 10, may be made from any desired material, such as fabric filled with a polyester or other suitable stuffing, plastic (rigid or pliable), plaster, wood, metal, or any other desired material, as the material from which thedoll 10 is constructed is not critical to the present invention. - The
doll 10 additionally comprises twoarms 14 and twolegs 16. Other embodiments may have fewer or greater number of arms and legs, as is discussed hereinbelow. Eacharm 14 andleg 16 has a periphery that includes afirst fastener half 18 that may be releasably engaged with second fastener half 20 mounted to the periphery ofbody 12. First andsecond fastener halves second fastener halves - The
doll 10 additionally includes at least twoheads first fastener halves 18 that may be releasably fastened to any portion of thesecond fastener half 20. In some embodiments, theheads FIG. 1 ,head 22 represents Cleopatra, whilehead 24 represents Napoleon. As shown inFIG. 2 , thedoll 10 may be assembled in a first assembled form where the body has twoarms 14 and twolegs 16 at conventional locations, but twoheads - The characters of the
doll 10 may also have corresponding clothing, as illustrated inFIG. 3 . Consequently,clothing 26 in a style appropriate to the Napoleoncharacter 24 may be mounted to one half of thedoll 10body 12, whileclothing 28 in a style appropriate to the Cleopatracharacter 22 may be mounted to the other half of thedoll 10body 12. In one embodiment, theclothes body 12 in a side-by-side configuration. For example, theclothes FIG. 1 ) extending across thebody 12.

In some embodiments, theclothes doll 10body 12 and fastened by securing abelt 30 therearound. Once assembled, thedoll 10 has a first complete figure on one side and a second complete figure on the other side. - In other embodiments, the
clothes doll 10body 12. Such attachment may be by any convenient mechanism, such as by sewing, hook and loop tape, gluing, or any other desired type of attachment, as the type of attachment used is not critical to the present invention. Alternatively, the two clothing halves may be individually mounted to thedoll 10body 12 and then coupled to one another and/or to thebody 12 once in place. In other embodiments, thedoll 10body 12 may be separated into two halves, with theclothes body 12, whereupon the two halves ofbody 12 may be attached by any convenient means in order to form thedoll 10 as illustrated inFIG. 3 . - As shown in
FIGS. 4 and 5 , thedoll 10 may be configured in additional manners. As illustrated inFIG. 4 , the two characters extend in opposite orientations, which thehead 22 on one end ofbody 12 and thehead 24 on the other end ofbody 12, with thearms 14 andlegs 16 mounted in consistent arrangement therewith. As illustrated inFIG. 5 , theheads body 12, but twolegs 16 are provided for each character at the opposite end of thebody 12. - The detachability of the various pieces of the
doll 10 allows for infinite variation in the configurations in whichdoll 10 may be assembled. As shown inFIG. 6 , ahead 32 resembling Marie Antoinette, with associatedclothing 34, is paired with thehead 22 andclothing 28 of Cleopatra to make another combination character. - It will be appreciated from the above description that the
doll 10 having multiple removable heads and limbs may be used to stimulate creativity and to teach historical or other roll playing lessons. Because the doll of the presently disclosed embodiments has a body to which multiple heads and limbs may be removably attached and rearranged, as well as clothing that may also be removably attached and rearranged, thedoll 10 may be used to create dual characters with a single doll, thereby encouraging children to be creative, mix characters using one doll, and provide a name for the doll that is a combination of the names of the two individual characters. For example, the doll ofFIGS. 1-5 that includes the characters of Napoleon and Cleopatra could be named Napoleatra, the doll ofFIG. 6 that includes the characters of Cleopatra and Marie Antionette could be named Cleotoinette, a doll combining the characters of Darwin and Mozart could be Darmoz, a doll combining the characters of Newton and Darwin could be Newdar, etc. - It will also be appreciated that the characters portrayed by the dolls are not limited to historical characters.
