A flexible doll having a normal form defined by a molded elastic skin and viscous liquid filler and a separate molded head, and which will repeatedly return to its normal form after stretching and deforming of its body parts, is provided with a closure means and head mounting which is a cylindrical member having a large diameter filling passage, and external circumferential flanges spaced along its length. Two of the flanges provide a recess for clamping the doll skin thereto in sealed relationship. End flanges on the cylindrical member coact with a cylindrical bore and flange on the doll head to support it in a manner to be erect and rotatable with respect to the doll body. A plug is provided for sealingly closing the filler passage. The plug is apertured so that the doll body may be squeezed to remove all air therefrom prior to closing the aperture. This invention relates to a flexible doll having a normal form defined by a molded elastic skin and viscous liquid filler and a separate molded head, and which will repeatedly return to its normal form after stretching and deforming of its body parts, and having closure means which both facilitates filling of the skin with viscous liquid and effectively engages and supports the head in a manner to be erect and rotatable with respect to the doll body.

Flexible doll closure and head mounting

A bubble-blowing doll has a body which includes a trunk, two arms and two legs movably connected to the trunk, and a head also connected to the trunk and having a mouth opening. One of the arms rotates a ratchet wheel of a ratchet mechanism which, in turn, rotates a pulley about which a rope is wound during the operation of the ratchet mechanism. A bellows is mounted in the trunk, its upper end being stationary and its lower end being movable toward and away from the upper end, and the rope is connected to the lower end of the bellows, while a spring biases the lower end away from the upper end of the bellows. A conduit communicates the interior of the bellows with the interior of a balloon an open end of which is mounted on a reed and a distensible end of which is located at a free end of the reed and at the mouth opening of the head in a deflated condition, and at the exterior of the head next to the mouth opening in the inflated condition of the bellows. An ejector is slidably mounted in a mouth-piece which surrounds the reed and has an actuating portion at the exterior of the head which can be actuated to eject the reed and the balloon mounted thereon through the mouth opening.

Bubble-blowing doll

A toy such as a doll which is capable of alternately emitting one of a plurality of different audible sounds, depending on the orientation of the toy, i.e., each sound corresponds to a different orientation of the toy. Typically when the toy is a doll, the doll emits the sound of giggling or laughter when in the upright vertical position and the sound of crying when in the reclining horizontal position. At least a portion of the interior of the toy is hollow, and an arrangement is provided within the hollow interior capable of alternately emitting at least two audible sounds. A pivoted weight and a switch arrangement are disposed in the hollow interior of the toy, the switch arrangement being connected with the pivoted weight and with the arrangement for emitting sound. The pivoted weight moves to alternate positions when the orientation of the toy is changed, so that a change in the relative position of the pivoted weight causes the switch arrangement to controllably change the audible sound emitted by the arrangement for alternately emitting at least two different audible sounds.
