  • ABSTRACT An animated object in the form of a doll is provided and comprises a pair of casings for the trunk and head portions of the doll.
  • a control rod is provided which has at an end thereof in the trunk casing a ponderable ball-like member serving as a counterweight and effecting free sliding and rotar movement of the rod in a swivel bearing fixedly mounted in the body of the doll.
  • Actuating means are provided and rendered operative by the rod when moved by the counterweight for in turn moving parts of the doll to which the actuating means are connected.
  • the present invention relates essentially to animated objects in the form. for example. of dolls figured personage, creatures including animals. toys and the like wherein is mounted an animating device for controlling, operating or effecting diverse movements and/or deformations of said object.
  • the device comprises a movable body or member such as a ponderable ball adapted to move inside the object when the latter is displaced or its attitude or orientation is changed.
  • the motions of said movable body or member being transmitted through levers, cables or functionally equivalent mechanical.
  • magnetic or electrical connecting means to parts of said object for moving and/or deforming the parts.
  • the present invention is characterized in that said ponderable ball is provided within said object as a counterweight at the end of a rod which is slidahly and rotatably mounted within a stationary swivel bearing forming a ball-and-socket joint fixedly secured within said object, said operating levers, cables and the like. for controlling the object, are operatively connected to the rod for actuation thereby.
  • the counterweight is mounted so as to be free to move within a first casing or housing of the object.
  • the first casing has by way of example. a substantially frusto-conical shape. a casing being closed at its smaller cross-sectional area end by said mentioned ball-and-socket like joint or swivel bearing.
  • the end of the rod opposite the end to which the counterweight is secured is movable within a second casing or housing of the object in which second housing are accommodated most of the control or actuating means for operating said object.
  • the object is a doll
  • the first casing is desirably housed within the body portion of said doll whereas the second casing is mounted within the head portion.
  • both casings are desirably stiff and not deformable.
  • the body of the doll may be moulded from a flexible or yielding deformable material cast over these casings.
  • the second casing may form the skull of the doll in which case it is pivotally mounted onto the trunk of the doll.
  • both aforementioned casings are held together or kept assembled in spaced relationship by the envelope of the body of the doll which is moulded from a flexible material cast thereover.
  • Such a construction facilitates the assembling of both casings, makes the doll mechanically stronger, while providing the necessary degree of flexibility substantially in the neck region and moreover increases the expressiveness of the doll by making same respond to movement of the head relative to the trunk which occurs for example when raising the doll by its head from the lying or recumbent position to the sitting position.
  • FIGS. 1 and 2 show the same doll in section with parts broken away in slightly different operating positions
  • FIG. 3 is a sectional view of a doll made according to an alternative embodiment of the invention.
  • FIG. 4 is a more detailed view showing the control mechanism for actuating the eyes of the doll illustrated in FIG. 3;
  • FIG. 5 is a sectional fragmentary view showing an anatomical detail.
  • a doll in form of a new-born child comprises a body 10 moulded from a flexible deformable material cast over two rigid casings, one 11 of which is mounted within the trunk portion of the doll and the other 12 in the form of a skull mounted within thehead portion of the doll.
  • These casings may be made from any suitable material, desirably from plastics or like synthetic material of a sufficient rigid or stiff grade.
  • the casing 12 is pivotally mounted by means of a swivel or balI-and-socket joint with its base 12a rotatable within a cradle or like bearing or socket portion 13 formed at the upper portion of the casing 11.
  • the casing 11 is generally of frusto-conical configuration having at its top portion an opening forming a neck or like throat portion I4 of reduced diameter in which the swivel or ball-and-socket joint 16 is rotatably mounted in a bushing in form of a cup or socketlike bearing 15.
  • a ponderable ball made for instance from steel or lead 17 which is secured at the end of a lever 18 which may consist for instance of a steel rod.
  • the counterweight 17 may be encompassed at least in part by a collar or ring 19 made from rubber or the like which will damp or absorb the shocks of the counterweight within the casing II.
  • the rod 18 is mounted within the ball joint 16 so as to be freely rotatable and freely slidable and it projects at its other end into the casing 12 of the skull.
  • the different pivotally connected organs or members of the doll such for instance as the hands 20. the eyes 21, the lowerjaw 22, etc .are actuated by operating mechanisms having sheathed cables. links and levers. etc which are appropriately connected to the rod 18 adapted to set parts of the object into motion.
  • a cable 23 under sheathing may be seen which enables actuation ofthe hand 20.
  • the cable 23 is accommodated within the body of the doll (it has been shown externally for ease ofillustration
  • One end of the cable 24 which extends out of the sheath is secured to a ring or collar 25 which is slipped over the rod 18 on which it may freely rotate and slide.
  • the other end 26 of the cable extends down to the fingers of the hand.
  • the end 24 of the cable is pulled as shown in FIG. 2.
  • the fingers of the hand are operated in the closing direction. the closing action being strong because the force exerted is multiplied by the length of the lever arm.
  • the cable 24 being secured close to the point of pivotal connection of the ball joint 16.
  • a cable 23 is of course provided for each of the hands of the doll.
  • the actuation of the mouth and more specifically of the lower jaw 22 is effected by a lever 30 pivotally connected at 31 in thejaw and guided at 32 within an orifice forming a bearing. provided in the stiff skull 12.
  • the other end 33 of the lever is formed with a hole 34 through which passes a small string 35 one end 36 ofwhich is secured to a ringshaped collar 37 which is slidable on the rod 18 and the other end of which carries a ball 38 large enough to prevent the small string from passing through the hole 34 as will be seen in FIG. 1.
  • a guide pulley 39 for the small string 35 is fastened to the skull.
  • the lever 30 is either pulled (FIG. I to move the mouth towards its closing direction or is released leaving the mouth in the normal half-open as-moulded position.
  • the lever 30 is not actuated by string 35 but the mouth is nevertheless closed since the skull 12 has been turned forward in the direction of the arrow F on the casing 11.
  • the movement of the eyes is obtained by of a lever consisting of two parts 40. 41 sliding relative to or telescoping within each other and which extends through a ball-andsocket joint 42 which is secured to a bar 43 to which each one of both eyes is fastened through a backward projection 44 integral with the eye-ball.
  • the lever 41 slides within a ball-and-socket joint 45 which may consist for instance of a magnetic ball which tends normally to extend into a cradle or socket 46 also of magnetic character of a member 47 mounted endwise of the rod 18.
  • a bellow 50 which is normally biased into extended position by an inner spring (not shown) or by equivalent means.
  • an inner spring not shown
  • protrusions 51 which, when acted upon or squashed during movement of the counterweight 17, produce various sounds for simulating infant cries or wails.
  • a porous tongue 53 is mounted within the mouth 54 and it communicates with a duct 55 provided in a cavity 56 formed on the abdomen between the front wall of the vessel or shell 11 and the moulded body of the doll.
  • the cavity 56 communicates with a lower portion of a urethra-like duct 57.
  • a ball 58 is freely mounted within the cavity 56 for movement between an upper and a lower position. In FIG. 2 the lower position is shown at 58'. whereat the ball closes or seals off the duct 57.
  • the doll is animated, as will be seen from the previous description under control of lever 18 the movement of which is itself under control of the counterweight 17. More specifically, it will be appreciated that by virtue of the tilt imparted to the doll, the counterweight 19 assumes various positions within the casing 11 and that according to these positions various motions of various amplitudes and forces are transmitted to the different organs of the doll. At the same time various sounds are produced upon depressing protrusions 51 on bellow mechanism 50. In some tilted positions of the doll the resulting motions may be of great force. Thus if the doll is rocked very powerful closing forces are transmitted to the hands so that the doll with its hands will cling to or grip the person holding the same. When it is rocked or dandled. the doll upon displace ment of counterweight 17 will move its jaws and therefore its lips. It will be appreciated that alternate opening and closing motion of the mouth with accompanying lip action may be used for simulating sucking or feeding.
  • Positions will enable urinating and some others induce a response resembling sleep with gradual closing of the eyes. All the movements are attended by various sounds such as those emitted for instance by new-born babies. These functions are performed by the doll illustrated in FIGS. 3 to 5.
  • FIGS. 3 to 5 wherein the same reference numerals increased by one hundred units are used to denote the organs of the animated doll similar to those illustrated by FIGS. 1 and 2.
  • a doll which comprises a body defined by an envelope moulded from deformable flexible material for example rubber-like material cast over two rigid casings.
  • One casing 111 is mounted within the trunk of the doll while the other casing 112 forms a skull mounted within the head.
  • these casings may be made from any suitable material. desirably of plastics or synthetic material of a sufficiently rigid or stiff character.
  • both casings are held in spaced relation to one another by the envelope 110 of the body of the doll which is over these two casings.
  • the flexibility of the envelope 110 provides some freedom of motion to the head with respect to the trunk.
