DOLL WITH MECHANISM FOR MQVABLE LIPS Filed March 9, 1956 2 Sheets-Sheet 2 INVENTOR. QM w u ATTORNEYS United States Patent OfiFice 2,778,155 Patented Jan. 22, 1957 2,778,155 DOLL WITH MECHANISM FOR MOVABLE LIPS Robert K. Ostrander, Maplewood, N. 3. Application March 9, 1956, Serial No. 570,479 9 Claims. (Cl. 46-141) This invention relates to dolls and more especially to dolls having provision for moving the lips when the body of the doll is squeezed.
It is an object of the invention to provide a doll with improved means for moving the lips to change the expression of the doll, and to change the expression more attractively by having lip movement which is natural. Another object is to provide a doll with moving lips and a lip actuator which is simple in construction and assembled with the doll with a minimum of labor. These features reduce the cost of the doll construction and make the provision of moving lips practical on dolls of moderate price.
Another object of the invention is to provide a doll having a mouth which is formed by a socket extending inwardly from the lips of the doll, the socket providing a roof, back and bottom for the mouth which is realistic in appearance when the dolls lips are separated to open the mouth. The head of the doll is constructed of flexible plastic material which permits the lips to move from an open position to a closed position, and the doll head is molded so that the lips have a bias toward one of these positions, preferably toward the open position.
Another object is to provide a doll with a lip actuator constructed of two levers pivoted together at a location behind the mouth of the doll, with upper portions that contact with the inside of the head behind the upper and lower lips, and with lower portions of the levers extending downwardly from the pivot connection through the neck and into the body of the doll and diverging into positions adjacent to the front and back of the doll body so that squeezing of the body moves the levers together and operates the upper portions of the levers to move the lips of the doll.
Still another object is to provide an improved nursing doll having a mouth for receiving the nipple of a bottle, and having a lip actuator which moves the lips in such a fashion as to withdraw liquid through the nipple into the mouth of the doll. One feature of the nursing doll relates to the provision of a passage for draining liquid from the mouth into the doll body, with the passage located in the connector by which the lip actuator is secured in position in the head of the doll.
Other objects, features and advantages of the invention will appear or be pointed out as the description proceeds.
In the drawing, forming a part hereof, in which like reference characters indicate corresponding parts in all the views:
Figure 1 is a vertical sectional view through a stuffed doll made in accordance with this invention;
Figure 2 is a greatly enlarged top plan view of the lip actuator shown in Figure 1;
Figure 3 is a sectional view taken on the line 33 of Figure 1;
Figure 4 is a sectional view, similar to Figure 1, but showing a modified form of the invention;
Figure 5 is an enlarged sectional view taken on the line 5-5 of Figure 4; and
Figure 6 is a sectional view taken on the line 66 of Figure 5.
The doll shown in Figure 1 includes a head 11 and a body 12 connected at a neck 13. The parts are made of flexible plastic material, preferably vinyl chloride. There is a neck block, preferably made of plastic, at the upper end of the body 12, and the head is snapped over the neck block in accordance with conventional doll construc- [1011.
The upper portion of the head 11 is preferably filled with stufiing 17 and there is a flexible washer 18 inserted into the head for holding the stufling 17 in place. This washer 18 provides a partition for preventing the stuffing 17 from moving down into an opening 20 in the neck block 15. This keeps the stuffing 17 from entering the body of the doll.
The head it is made with an upper lip 23 and a lower lip 2-3. The head is molded with a mouth socket 25 which projects rearwardly from the lips 23 and 24, and this socket 25 provides a roof, back and bottom for the mouth which make the appearance of the doll more realistic when the mouth is open, as previously explained.
The plastic material of which the doll is made is resilient so that the lips 23 and 24- can be moved from an open mouth position to a closed mouth position, but the resiiicnce of the plastic gives the lips a bias toward one or the other of these positions, depending upon the original molding of the head. Manufacture is facilitated by having the head molded with the lips 23 and 24 spaced from one another and the mouth open.
There is a lip actuator 28 within the doll and this actuator includes a first lever 31 and a second lever 32 joined to one another by a pivot connection 34. The pivot connection is located in the head of the doll and behind the mouth socket 25. The first lever 31 has an upper portion 35 extending across the top of the mouth socket 2-5 and into contact with the inside surface of the head it behind the upper lip 23. The second lever 32 has an upper portion 36 extending under the mouth socket 25 and into contact with the inside surface of the doll head behind the lower lip 24.
The levers 31 and 32 extend downwardly through an opening in the washer partition 18, through the neck block 13, and into the doll body 12. The lower portions of the levers 31 and 32, designated by the reference characters 41 and 42, respectively, diverge from one another in the body 12, the lower portion 41 extending toward the front of the doll and the lower portion 42 extending toward the back of the doll. Pressure applied to the doll to squeeze the front and back of the body toward one another moves the lever portions 41 and 42 toward one another, but these lever portions have a bias toward their diverging positions. In the construction shown, this bias is provided by a flat spring 44 having its opposite ends shaped to connect with the lower end of the lever portions 41 and 42.
in order to stiffen the body 12, there is resilient matcrial within the body in contact with the inside surfaces of the molding of which the body is made. This resilient material is preferably in the form of unitary sections 48 and 49, constructed of polyvinyl chloride foam, or other compressible material, compatible with the vinyl chloride body material, located between the lever portions 41 and 42 and the front and back walls, respectively, of the doll body. A voice 50, consisting of a pneumatic sound maker, is located in a sleeve 51 extending through the body 12 and into the neck block 15. The sleeve 51 is preferably held by friction in the neck block and passage of air through the sleeve 51, when the body of the doll compresses or expands, provides the air fiow to operate the voice 50.
The lip actuator 28 is held in position by a connector 55 which has a front element 57 located inside of the mouth socket 25 and extending across the surface at the back of the mouth socket in a transverse direction. This connector 55 has a stem portion 59 projecting through an opening in the back of the mouth socket and the end of the stem portion diverges and hooks over the lever 32 in the region of the pivot connection 34. The stem portion of the connector is preferably short enough so that the mouth socket is pulled back under some tension when the connector is hooked on the lever 32.
The levers 31 and 32, as well as the connector 55, are preferably made of wire. The connector 55 is of much smaller wire than the lip actuator, and the front element 57 ordinarily does not show when the mouth is open because it imbeds itself in the plastic material and is painted red to match the interior of the mouth socket.
From the construction described, it will be apparent that squeezing of the body 12 to move the lever portions 41 and 42 toward one another operates the upper lever portions 35 and 36 to move the lips 23 and 24 together. Sufiicient displacement of the lever portions 41 and 42 moves the lips far enough to close the mouth.
Figure 4 shows a modified construction in which the parts corresponding to Figure l are indicated by the same reference characters. A nursing bottle 60 is provided with a nipple 61 small enough to fit the mouth socket 25 of the doll. Squeezing of the doll to close the lips repeatedly on the nipple 61 causes the liquid to flow from the bottle 60 into the mouth socket of the doll with a realistic nursing action.
A passage is provided in the back of the mouth socket 25 for draining liquid from the mouth socket into the body of the doll. In the construction illustrated, the lip actuator 28 is secured in place by a connector 66 through which the drain passage passes. This connector has a forward end portion 68 which is located in the mouth socket 25 and against the back of the mouth socket. The
connector 66 has a stem 70 extending through an opening in the back of the mouth socket to a tie element 72 which joins the connector 66 to the lip actuator in a manner similar to that already illustrated in Figures 1 and 2. A
passage 74 opens through the face of the front portion 68 of the connector and leads through the stem 70 to an outlet spout 76 (Figure 6) to which a tube 78 is connected. This tube '78 extends downwardly through the neck of the doll and into the doll body for draining the liquid from the mouth.
The nursing doll can be made with the wire connector 55, as shown in Figures 1 and 2, and the drain for liquid can include a plastic drain plug, such as the forward portion 68 of Figures 4 and 5, the drain plug being located in the rear bottom part of the mouth socket and having a flexible tube connected to the rearward end of the plug and leading down through the neck block into the body.
With dolls that drink liquid, as shown in Figure 4, the body 12 is made without any stuffing or other filling, and the diverging portions 41 and 42 extend into direct contact with the inside surfaces of the plastic material of which the doll body is made.
If the nursing doll is made with stuffing, such as shown in Figure l, the drain tube is made to lead to an outlet in the base of the body so that liquid can pass through the doll without wetting the stuffing.
The preferred embodiments of the invention have been illustrated and described, but changes and modifications can be made and some features can be used in different combinations without departing from the invention as defined in the claims.
