    •  DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
  • With reference now to the drawings, and in particular to FIGS. 1 through 4 thereof, a new doll device embodying the principles and concepts of an embodiment of the disclosure and generally designated by the reference numeral 10 will be described.
  • As best illustrated in FIGS. 1 through 4 , the speaking doll assembly 10 generally comprises a doll 12 that has a torso 14, a head 16, a pair of arms 18 and a pair of legs 20. The torso 14 has a back side 22 and the back side 22 has a battery well 24 extending into an interior of the torso 14. A battery cover 26 is removably coupled to the doll 12, and the battery cover 26 is aligned with the battery well 24 such that the battery cover 26 covers the battery well 24. The doll 12 may be structured to resemble either female or male genders, depending on the gender of the user. The user may be a child that has possibly been sexually or physically abused. Furthermore, the doll 12 may be manufactured with one of a variety of skin tones and physical features such that the doll 12 might resemble any nationality or race of human being.
  • A plurality of touch sensors 28 is each integrated into the torso 14 of the doll 12 to sense when the torso 14 is touched. Each of the touch sensors 28 is located a strategic locations on the torso 14 associated with a respective erogenous zone. In this way each of the touch sensors 28 facilitates a child to touch respective touch sensors 28 associated with sexual or physical abuse. The plurality of touch sensors 28 includes a pair of breast sensors 30 that is each aligned with a location on a front side 32 of the torso 14 associated with breast erogenous zones. The plurality of touch sensors 28 includes a pubic sensor 34 which is aligned with a location proximate a crotch 36 of the torso 14 associated with a genital erogenous zone. Additionally, the plurality of touch sensors 28 includes an anal sensor 38 that is aligned with a location proximate an anus 40 of the torso 14 associated with an anal erogenous zone. Each of the touch sensors 28 is positioned beneath an outer surface 42 of the doll 12 such that each of the touch sensors 28 is concealed from view. Furthermore, each of the touch sensors 28 may comprise an electronic touch sensor or the like which might sense pressure, electrical conductivity or any other means of sensing when the user touches the doll 12.
  • A voice unit 44 is integrated into the doll 12, the voice unit 44 is in communication with each of the touch sensors 28 and the voice unit 44 stores a plurality of audible alerts. Each of the audible alerts is assigned to a respective one of the touch sensors 28. The voice unit 44 emits the audible alert assigned to the respective touch sensor 28 when the respective touch sensor 28 senses touch. In this way the voice unit 44 can verbally communicate to an adult that the child has been inappropriately touched in the erogenous zone associated with the respective touch sensor 28.
  • The voice unit 44 comprises a control circuit 46 that is integrated into the doll 12 and the control circuit 46 is electrically coupled to the control circuit 46. The control circuit 46 receives a breast input when either of the breast sensors 30 senses touch. Additionally, the control circuit 46 receives a pubic input when the pubic touch sensor senses touch. The control circuit 46 receives an anal input when the anal touch sensor senses touch. An array of conductors 48 is provided and the array of conductors 48 is integrated into the doll 12. Each of the array of conductors 48 is electrically coupled between a respective one of the touch sensors 28 and the control circuit 46. The array of conductors 48 may comprise a series of insulated wires or other conductors commonly employed in electronic circuitry.
  • An electronic memory 50 is integrated into the doll 12 and the electronic memory 50 is electrically coupled to the control circuit 46. The electronic memory 50 stores a database comprising each of the verbal phrases, and each of the verbal phrases is assigned to a respective one of the breast input, the pubic input and the anal input. The plurality of verbal phrases may include “No.”, “Bad Touch”, “Please don’t touch me there”, “I’m going to tell mommy or daddy”, “That’s not nice” and other phrases related to protesting an inappropriate touch.
  • A speaker 52 is integrated into the doll 12 to emit audible sounds outwardly from the doll 12 and the speaker 52 is electrically coupled to the control circuit 46. The speaker 52 receives a respective one of the verbal phrases from the electronic memory 50 when the control circuit 46 receives the breast input, the pubic input or the anal input. The speaker 52 may comprise an electronic speaker of any conventional design. A power supply 54 is integrated into the doll 12, the power supply 54 is electrically coupled to the control circuit 46 and the power supply 54 comprises a battery 56 that is positioned in the battery well 24 in the back side 22 of the torso 14. As is most clearly shown in FIG. 1 , clothing 58 may be provided that is worn on the doll 12, including but not being limited to, a shirt 60, pants 62 and a pair of shoes 64.
  • In use, the doll 12 is presented to the child when the child is suspected of having been physically or sexually abused. The voice unit 44 emits one of the variety of verbal phrases when the child touches the doll 12 in one of the erogenous zones in the doll 12. In this way the child can communicate where the child may have been touched when the abuse occurred. In this way the child can indirectly inform an adult of the abuse in a manner that does not require the child to directly relate the incident to the adult. Thus, the child can be protected from further abuse and the child can be given the necessary psychological care to heal from the abuse.
  • With respect to the above description then, it is to be realized that the optimum dimensional relationships for the parts of an embodiment enabled by the disclosure, to include variations in size, materials, shape, form, function and manner of operation, assembly and use, are deemed readily apparent and obvious to one skilled in the art, and all equivalent relationships to those illustrated in the drawings and described in the specification are intended to be encompassed by an embodiment of the disclosure.
  • Therefore, the foregoing is considered as illustrative only of the principles of the disclosure. Further, since numerous modifications and changes will readily occur to those skilled in the art, it is not desired to limit the disclosure to the exact construction and operation shown and described, and accordingly, all suitable modifications and equivalents may be resorted to, falling within the scope of the disclosure. In this patent document, the word “comprising” is used in its non-limiting sense to mean that items following the word are included, but items not specifically mentioned are not excluded. A reference to an element by the indefinite article “a” does not exclude the possibility that more than one of the element is present, unless the context clearly requires that there be only one of the elements.
