A motor operated walking doll which upon energization of the motor walks in a straight line for a given distance, then proceeds along a curve to turn around, then commences on a straight line to its approximate starting point whereupon the doll raises its arms, the arm raising action de-energizing the switch to the motor.

Walking turning doll mechanism

A combination doll and accessory article wherein the doll has a body with a neck opening having a generally hollow head connected thereto by a swivel connection, the head having a weighted mass therein, the mass including an electric motor and speed reducing gears connected to a shaft extending downwardly through the neck opening, the swivel connection being configured to permit the head along with the weighted mass therein to move in an orbital path. An article adapted to be moved to and fro, such as a swing or a cradle is provided for receiving the doll in such a position that movement of the article results in response to orbital movement of the head of the doll. A switch is provided on the interior of the doll's head adjacent the mouth thereof, the switch being normally closed and being opened in response to insertion into the mouth of a simulated pacifier or the like made of an insulating material.
