STAND FOR A DOLL Filed Aug. 23. 1968 INVENTOR. LU LA 8. HA LL Attorneys United States Patent 3,516,632 STAND FOR A DOLL Lula S. Hall, 1226 Highway Ave., Covington, Ky. 41011 Filed Aug. 23, 1968, Ser. No. 754,937
Int. Cl. F16m 11/16 US. Cl. 248-176 Claims ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE A doll stand including a base, an upright mounted on and extending upwardly from the base, and a pair of sidewise extending horizontal side-by-side loops mounted at the upper end of the upright, the loops snugly receiving upper portions of legs of a doll to support the doll in upright position without interfering with a dress worn by the doll.
This invention relates to dolls or the like. More particularly, this invention relates to a stand for supporting a doll.
An object of this invention is to provide a doll stand which supports a doll in upright position but which does not interfere with a dress worn by the doll.
A further object of this invention is to provide such a doll stand, most of which is hidden by the dress worn by the doll.
Briefly, this invention provides a doll stand which includes an upright or column supported by an appropriate plate or the like at a lower end thereof. The column or upright extends upwardly between legs of the doll. Outwardly extending loops at the upper end of the column extend around upper portions of the legs of the doll to support the doll in upright position with most of the doll stand being hidden and with the stand not interfering with the dress.
The above and other objects and features of the invention will be apparent to those skilled in the art to which this invention pertains from the following detailed description and the drawing, in which:
FIG. 1 is a plan view of a doll stand constructed in accordance with an embodiment of this invention;
FIG. 2 is a view in side elevation of the doll stand illustrated in FIG. 1, a fragmentary portion of a doll being shown in dot-dash lines in association therewith;
FIG. 3 is a view in front elevation of the doll stand with a doll supported thereby, a doll dress being shown in dotdash lines in association therewith;
FIG. 4 is a fragmentary view in section on an enlarged scale on the line 44 in FIG. 2; and
FIG. 5 is a view in section on an enlarged scale on the line 55 in FIG. 3 showing the lower part of an upright portion of the stand removed from a base plate thereof.
In the following detailed description and the drawing, like reference characters indicate like parts.
In FIGS. 1, 2, and 3 is shown a doll stand constructed in accordance with an embodiment of this invention. The doll stand 10 includes a base plate 12 and an upright 13. A central portion 14 of the base plate 12 is displaced upwardly as shown in FIG. 4 forming a strap and providing openings 16 above the body of the base plate 12 and below the displaced portion or strap 14.
The upright 13 is formed of two wire portions 17 and 18 (FIG. 3) provided with feet 19 and 21, respectively at the lower ends thereof, formed by end sections thereof bent to one side. As shown in FIG. 5, the foot 19 includes a first portion 19' extending substantially perpendicularly to the main section of the wire portion 17 and a return bend portion 19" adjacent thereto. The foot 21 similarly includes a first portion 21' and a return bend portion 21". The feet 19 and 21 fit through the openings 16 and are Patented June 23, 1970 "ice held between the body of the base plate 12 and the strap 14. The feet are removably held therein with the main sections of the wire portions 17 and 18 extending upwardly from the base plate 12. The main sections of the wire portions 17 and 18 are attached together by solder links 22 and 23. At the upper ends of the wire portions 17 and 18 are provided sidewise extending horizontal, sideby- side loops 24 and 26, respectively. As shown in FIG. 3, the loops 24 and 26 are of a size for receiving and are constructed to receive legs 27 and 28, respectively, of a doll 29. The loops fit snugly around the legs of the doll with the main sections of the wire p rtions being received between the legs of the doll. The stand supports the doll firmly but can be removed from the doll by sliding the stand downwardly therefrom.
The doll can be provided with a dress 31, shown in dot-dash lines in FIG. 3. The dress hangs outwardly of the doll and falls in a natural fashion without interference from the stand. Moreover, the dress, if a long dress as shown, hides all of the stand with the exception of the base plate 12 and the feet 19 and 21 of the upright 13.
The doll stand described above and illustrated in the drawings is subject to structural modification without departing from the spirit and scope of the appended claims.
Having described my invention, what I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent is:
1. A doll stand which comprises a base, an upright mounted on and extending upwardly from the base, and a pair of sidewise extending horizontal side-by-side loops mounted at the upper end of the upright and spaced from said base by a distance substantially equal to the distance the legs of a doll to be mounted on said stand project from the body of said doll, the loops being arranged to snugly receive upper portions of legs of a doll to support the doll in upright position.
2. A doll stand as in claim 1 wherein the upright includes a foot at a lower end thereof extending substantially perpendicularly to a main portion thereof and the base includes a main plate portion and a strap overlying the main plate portion, the foot being releasably received under the strap and over the main plate portion.
3. A doll stand as in claim 1 wherein a main portion of the upright is arranged to be received between the legs of the doll.
4. In combination with a doll, a doll stand which comprises a base, an upright mounted on and extending upwardly from the base, and a pair of sidewise extending horizontal side-by-side loops mounted at the upper end of the upright and spaced from said base by a distance substantially equal to the distance the legs of said doll project from the body of said doll, the loops snugly receiving upper portions of legs of said doll to support the doll in upright position.
5. A combination as in claim 4 wherein a main portion of the upright is received between legs of the doll.
