DOLL-HEAD.
Specification of Letters Patent Patented Aug. 8, 1905.
Application filed July 18, 1904. Serial No. 217,009.
To all w/tom it may concern.-
Be it known that I, CARL HALBIG, a subject of the German Emperor, residing at Graefenhain, Duchy of Gotha, German Empire, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Doll-Heads; and I do hereby declare the following to bea full, clear, and eXact description of the invention, such as will enable others skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use the same, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, and to figures of reference marked thereon, which form a part of this specification.
My invention relates to doll-heads, more particularly to the eyes thereof; and it consists of the manner and means in which movable eyes are mounted in the head, a single Weight controlling all of the movements.
In some of the structures, where the eyes on which the eyelids are made are movable sidewise as Well as vertically, there are either two or three weights to effect the movemcnts-- one weight on a horizontal pivot to open and shut the eyes and either one or two Weights to move them sidewise, While in other cases the sidewise movement is accomplished by means of a cord.
Referring to the drawings, in Which like parts are similarly designated, Figure 1 is a section, partly in plan, on lines B B, Figs. 2
and 3. Fig. 2 is a section on line A A, Fig. 1; and Fig. 3 is a section on lines C C, Figs. 1 and 2, showing the mechanism in rear elevation.
According to this invention asingle weight is used to efl'ect all the movements of the eyes. The eyes 1 are made on or secured to pearshaped or other form of eyeballs 2, and the eyeballs are held in place in the front Wallof the head by means of plaster-of-paris 10 or other suitable plastic material, so as to form hollow spherical seats 11 for the eyeballs and in which the eyeballs are capable of movement in any direction, thereby forming a balland-socket or universal joint. From the rear of each eyeball projects a wire 3, having a bend and whose free end is loosely mounted or swiveled in a sheet-metal connecting-piece 4. This piece 4 has formed at its center a sleeve 12. The two ends of the piece of tin are then bent upon themselves to form sleeves 13, in which the free ends of wires 3 have bearing, and the tips of these Wires are bent up, as shown at 14:, to prevent the tin connecting-piece 4 from dropping off and yet allow the wires 3 to turn free in the piece 4:.
seen from Fig. 2, is such as to secure the weight 6 to the connecting member 4. The weight may be secured to the member 4 in any other manner. The upper end of the wire is connected by hook 5 to one end of a flexible support 7. The other end of the support may be fastened to the top of the head. Said support may conveniently consist of a cord 7, shown held in a hole in the doll-head by a wooden or other plug. This cord limits the rolling of the eyes up into the head by limiting the rotation in one direction of the weight 6.
On the sides of the doll-head are secured buffers 8, of cork or other suitable material, that serve to limit the lateral movement of the eyes as Well as to prevent the breakage of the china, porcelain, or other material of which the hollow head is made.
The operation is as follows: When the doll is held upright, the eyes look straight forward, and if then tilted either to the right or the left the eyes will be oppositely movedz'. 6-, to left or right. If the doll be laid down, the eyes will close, so that the eyelids will be brought under the openings in the head. All
of the movements are accomplished by asingle weight.
Having thus described my invention, what I claim as new therein, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is
l. The combination with a dolls head and eyeballs loosely mounted therein, of a weightactuated mechanism controlling the movements of the eyeballs and a flexible suspension device to limit the downward movement of said mechanism, substantially as described.
2. The combination with a dolls head and eyeballs loosely mounted therein, of a single weight controlling the movement of both eyeballs, and flexible means between the head and weight to support the latter to hold the eyeballs in normal position when the head is upright, substantially as described.
8. The combination with a dolls head and eyeballs loosely mounted therein,- of an element to connect the eyeballs to cause lateral rotation, a single weight on the element, and flexible means to limit the downward movement of the element and weight and at the same time permit their lateral movement, substantially as described,
a. The combination with a dolls head and eyeballs movably mounted therein, of a wire projecting rearwardly from each eyeball, an element in which said wires are mounted to maintain their parallel movement, a cord to limit the downward movement of the element and to hold it in suspension when the head is upright and a weight secured to the element to cause all of the movements, substantially as described.
5. The combination with a dolls head and eyeballs movably mounted therein, of a wire projecting rearwardly and then downwardly from each eyeball, asheet-metal strip in which the downward portions of said wires are swiveled, a cord secured at one end to the head and at the other end to a moving part, a weight secured to the strip and bufi'ers mounted on the sides of the head opposite the ends of the sheet-metal strip, substantially as described.
6. The combination with a dolls head and eyeballs movably mounted therein, of a wire projecting rearwardly and then downwardly from each eyeball, a sheet-metal strip having central and lateral sleeves, the downwardlyprojecting ends of said wires being swiveled in the lateral sleeves and the tips of said wires projecting from their sleeves and bent, a wire in the central sleeve having a hook or eye at its upper end and a weight on its lower end, and a cord secured at one end to the head and at the other end in the hook or eye to maintain the eyes in normal position when the head is upright.
In testimony that I claim the foregoing as my invention I have signed my name in presence of two subscribing witnesses.
CARL HALBIG.
