A toy doll has a mouth opening adapted to receive a simulated nursing bottle from which water is fed to the interior of the doll, some of such water producing a wetting action. The doll is also adapted to produce a burping sound when its back is patted, and simultaneously to spit up through the mouth opening some of the water previously fed from the bottle. The burping sound is produced by a bellows in the body portion of the doll which is successively compressed upon patting the back of the doll and which progressively feeds air into another bellows located in the head of the doll until the head bellows reaches an expanded position. An actuating member then automatically releases the air from the expanded head bellows, which air flows in a sudden controlled flow through a sound producing device. Some of this released air also causes liquid to be emitted from the mouth opening to produce the spitting-up effect.

Sound emitting and wetting doll

A miniature toy vehicle launcher having an inclined platform adapted to support a toy vehicle in a launching position. A stop is provided which is movable from a hold position to hold the toy vehicle on the platform against movement and to a release position for release thereof. A finger is movably coupled with the stop to move it to the hold position, and the stop is spring biased by means of a first spring towards the release position to move the stop to the release position. A locking element retains the stop in the first position against the tension of the first spring, and a slide is spring biased by means of a second spring for movement to disable the locking element to cause the stop to move to its release position. The launcher includes a sound apparatus to simulate a vehicle launching sound, and a handle is provided both to activate the sound apparatus and to cam the slide at a point in the path of movement of the handle, to overcome the bias of the second spring to move the stop to its release position by means of the spring action of the first spring.
