DOLL HAVING COLLAPSIBLE TORSO AND MEANS FOR CLOSING DOLL{40 S EYES UPON TILTING

摘要

A toy doll adapted to simulate the motions of a child falling asleep has a head and a torso which includes upper and lower portions; the upper torso portion being formed of a flexible material and adapted to collapse relative to the lower torso portion. Fluent material is contained within the torso which is constructed to permit passage of this material between its upper and lower portions. When the fluent material is in the upper torso portion the doll is supported in an erect configuration and as the fluent material flows into the lower torso portion, the upper torso portion collapses, causing the doll to simulate the action of a child going to sleep. Simulated eye units are mounted in eye sockets formed in the doll's head and include rotatable eye members which are adapted to move between opened and closed positions. The eye members are separately controlled by means which selectively moves them towards their closed positions in response to collapse of the torso and by means which moves them towards their closed positions, independently of the collapse of the torso, when the doll is moved towards an inclined or generally horizontal position.
