An actuating switch device is positioned to turn on the motor in response to slight external pressure on the dolls lips.

16 Claims, 6 Drawing Figures KISSING DOLL ACTUATED BY 'P'RESSURE APPLIED To LIPS The present invention relates to toy dolls, and more particularly to a toy doll which is capable of producing a realistic lip movement and a coordinated sound simulating a kiss.

Numerous dolls have been previously proposed and constructed for the purpose of simulating a variety of human actions.'One of the most difficult of such actions to be produced with a toy doll is that of a realistic kiss. While several dolls have been developed which attempt to simulate a true kissing action, they are relatively complicated and normally require movement of an external portion of the dolls body which is normally not associated with a kiss. Typically, most previouslyprop-osed kissing dolls require that the torso of the doll be squeezed or that the arms thereof be moved in order to activate a mechanical mechanism in thedoll which moves its lips to simulate the kiss. Such mechanisms generally are not entirely satisfactory in operation and normally are too expensive to use in toy dolls.

Accordingly, it is an object of the present invention to produce a toy doll which will realistically simulate a kissing action and sound.

Anotherobject of the invention is to realistically produce a kissing motion in a dolls lips in conjunction with a coordinated kissing sound.

Another object of the present invention is to provide a doll which is adapted to simulate akissing action and sound with a drive mechanism which does not require manipulation of an external portion of the doll itself or any external controls.

Yet another object of the present invention is to produce a toy doll which is adapted to simulate a kiss and which is durable and inexpensive in construction and simple in operation..

In accordancewith one aspect of the present invention a toy doll includes a head which is formed with a flexible face having a pair of movable lips. These lips are normally in a closed or natural configuration and are operatively connected to a lip moving mechanism which causes the lips to be extended to a puckered or pursed configuration simulating the action of a kiss. The drive mechanism is constructed to release the lips so that they return to their normal configuration, after reaching their fully extended or puckered position, while simultaneously operating a sound mechanism to produce a sound simulating that of a kiss. In a preferred embodiment of the invention the drive mechanism is activated by contact of the dolls lips with a surface, such as the cheek or lips of a child. This contact closes an electrical switch which causes actuation of a motor and drive-means connected thereto which causes extension of the lips.

The above and other objects, features and advantages of the present invention, will be apparent from the following detailed description of .an illustrative embodiment thereof which is to be read in connection with the accompanying drawings, wherein:

FIG. 1 is a front view of the head of adoll incorporating a kissing mechanism constructed in accordance with the presentinvention;

FIG. 2 is an enlarged elevational view of the drive mechanism used in the doll of FIG. 1;

FIG. 3 is a side sectional view, with parts broken away, taken along the broken line 3-3-of FIG. 2 and 2. showing the configuration of the drive mechanism in the normal position of the dolls lips;

FIG. 4 is a partial sectional view similar to FIG. 3 showing the extended position of the dolls lips;

FIG. 5 is an elevational view taken along the broken line 55 of FIG. 2 showing the sound producing device used in the present invention; and

FIG. 6 is a view similar to FIG. 5 showing the position of the sound making mechanism at the fully extended position of the dolls lips and just prior to the production of the kissing sound.

Referring now to the drawing in detail, and initially to FIG. I thereof, it is seen that toy doll 10 includes a head 12 formed on a flexible plastic material and a conventional front-back split torso I3. The head has facial features formed thereon, including a pair of lips 14 which are normally at rest in the position shown in solid lines in FIG. 1 and adapted to be extended to a puckand puckered configurations by a drive mechanism 16 located within the head of the doll.

Drive mechanism 16, as more clearly shown in FIGS. 2 and 3, includes an inverted generally U-shaped frame 18 having the free ends 20 of its legs 22 secured, in any convenient manner, in the base 24 of a neck support member or collar 26. The latter, as seen in FIG. 3., is engaged and rigidly secured to the neck 28 of the dolls head 12 in any convenient manner. Collar 26 and head l2are fixed in position with respect to torso 13 in the manner more fully described hereinafter.

A small electric motor 29 is mounted in frame 18, adjacent base 24, and drives a gear train 30 which moves a push rodand guide assembly 32 between retracted and extended positions, respectively shown in FIGS. 3 and 4 of the drawing, thereby to simulate a kissing action with lips 14. In addition, gear train 30 is operatively connected to a sound making bellows arrangement 34, mounted on the bight portion 36 of frame 18 which is adapted to make a sound simulating the sound of a kiss when the lips 14 are fully extended.

Motor 29 is preferably a miniature electric motor to which power is supplied from a battery 38. The latter is mounted between a pair of spring contact members 40, of conventional construction, secured to a support plate 42 rigidly secured to or integrally formed with base 24 of collar 26. As seen in FIG. 3, support plate 42 normally extends into and is rigidly secured to the rear half of the split torso 13 of doll 10, for example by a plurality of pegs 43 formed integrally with the rear portion of the dolls torso, with access to the support plate and battery 38 being provided through an opening (not shown) in the rear of the doll. In this manner plate 42 is held in a fixed position in torso 13 and as a result of its rigid connection with collar 26, that collar and head 12 are also held in a fixed position with respect to the torso.

Motor 29 includes an output shaft 44 having a spur gear 46 rigidly secured thereto and drivingly engaged with a first compound gear 48 in gear train 30. Gear 48 is freely rotatably mounted on a shaft 50, rotatably mounted between the legs 22 of frame 18, and includes a smaller diameter spur gear 52 integrally formed therewith. Gear 52 is in turn drivingly engaged with the larger gear 53 of a compound gear 54 rotatably mounted on a shaft 56 rotatably mounted in frame 18.

v It is-noted that shaft 56 has a square cross-section (see FIG. 3), for the reasons. more fully described hereinafter, and that compound gear 54 has a circular opening by which it is rotatably mounted on shaft 56 for independent rotation with respect to the shaft.

Compound gear 54 has a smaller diameter spur gear 57 formed integrally therewith and positioned in driving engagement with the larger spur gear 58 of a second compound gear 59 rotatably mounted on shaft 50. Gear 59 is free to rotate independently of compound gear 48, 52, and shaft 50, and includes an integral smaller spur gear 60 positioned in meshing eneagement with a relatively large diameter spur gear 62. The latter gear has a square central opening therein which receives the complementary square shaft 56, in order to transmit rotary motion to the shaft from motor 29, through the various gears previously described. In this manner shaft 56 is rotated by motor 29 to reciprocate the assembly 32 to move the dolls lips 14 in the manner described hereinafter.

It is noted that the gear train 30, including the various gears mentioned above, is a step down gear train so that the rotation and drive of shaft 56 is substantially slower than the speed of rotation of the output shaft 44 of motor 29, in order to provide a more realistic life-like movement to the lips 14.

Electrical energy is supplied to motor 29 from battery 38 whenever the spring switch 64 in head 12 is closed. This switch includes a pair of spring contacts 66, 68 mounted on plate42 and extending in spaced relation to each other to a position between shaft 56 and assembly 32. As shown in FIG. 2, these switch contacts are electrically connected to battery contacts 40 and motor 29 in order to supply electrical current to the motor when the contacts therebetween are closed as described hereinafter.

Spring contact 66 is operatively connected to the assembly 32 which includes a tube 70 secured at one end in the head of the doll adjacent lips 14 and received at its opposite end 71 in a generally frustro-conically shaped guide member 72. The latter has its rear end portion 74 secured to contact 66 of switch 64 by a rivet or the like. By this construction, whenever the lips 14 of doll are placed with a slight pressure in contact with any surface, typically the lips or cheek of a child playing witha doll, the dolls lips 14 will move inwardly slightly, due to the flexible material of which the head is formed, thereby causing contact 66 to engage contact 68. This, of course, closes switch 64 and causes motor 29 to operate todrive gear train 30 and thus shaft 56.

By the construction of the present invention, once contacts 66 and 68 are engaged in this manner the kissing mechanism 16 keeps the contacts in engagement in order to continuously supply electrical current to the motor 29 to cause the same to drive the assembly 32 outwardly, as shown in FIG. 4, thereby to extend the lips 14 and the portion of face 12 surrounding andadjacent to the lips in the kissing action. This is accomplished by the provision of a first or compound cam element 76 mounted on shaft 56. Cam 76 includes a generally square central aperture which is complementary to and receives shaft 56 so that the cam rotates with the shaft. As seen in FIGS. 3 and 4, cam 76 has a first relatively flat cam surface 78 and a second cam surface 80 which extends with an increasing radius from one end of surface 78 to the other. Operation of motor 29 causes shaft 56, and thus cam 76, to rotate in a counterclockwise direction (which I refer to as the direction of increasing radius), as indicated by the arrows in FIGS. 3 and 4, thus causing the top edge of cam surface 78, and the smaller diameter portion of cam section 80, to engage spring contact 68 and hold it against spring contact 66. Accordingly, the electrical switch 64 remains closed and motor 29 continues to drive gear train 30 and thus shaft 56. This causes the increasing radius portions of cam section 80 to move in engagement with spring contact 68, thus maintaining switch 64 in its closed condition and moving assembly 32 to the left, as seen in FIGS. 3 and 4. As this occurs, the end 82 of guide member 72 pushes against the end 71 of tube 70, causing lips 14 to extend outwardly to their extended or puckered position.

Due to the flexible metal material of which contacts 66 and 68 are formed, the contacts can bend about their mounting connections, in the manner illustrated in FIG. 4, while the contact therebetween is maintained by cam section 80. Due to the generally pivotal motion of the contacts, guide 72 also pivots slightly; however, due to the conical construction of guide 72, tube is maintained at all times in a straight position within the guide to push lips 14 straight outwardly.

Ultimately, continued rotation of cam by shaft 56 causes the largest radius portion 83 thereof to move against contact 68, thereby moving lips 14 to their fullest extension and simulating the 'pucker of a kiss. Further rotation causes the large radius portion 83 to move out of engagement with contact 68, thereby presenting the flat cam section 78 to that spring contact. When this occurs, spring contact 68 moves back to its original upright position, shown in FIG. 3, and the contact between the elements 66 and 68 is broken. It is noted that when the bias on spring contact68 relieved by the movement of cam surface78 into the position shown in FIG. 3, the assembly 32 moves back to its original configuration, dueto the resiliency of the dolls face. However, because of the spacing between contacts 66, 68 which is provided by the end 86 of plate 42, the contacts are held out of engagement with each other. Accordingly, the drive of motor 29 is stopped. Of course, if thechild maintains contact of her cheek with the dolls lips so that the contact between elements 66 and 68 is maintained, the sequence of operation will repeat.

In conjunction with the simulated kissing motion provided by the present invention, a simulated kissing sound can be produced by the sound maker 34. The latter comprises a flexible plastic bellow 88 which is captured in a cage 90, mounted on the bight portion 36 of frame 18, and having a removable top 92 which restrains movementof the end 94 of the bellows. The opposite end 96 of bellows 88 is engaged with plunger 98 having a stem 100 which extends through aligned apertures in the bottom of cage and bight 36. The free end 102 of stem is operatively engaged against a second cam 104 mounted on shaft 56, by a square hole 106, for rotation with the shaft. I

Cam 104 has a peripheral cam surface 108 of increasing radius, as seen in FIGS. 5 and 6, which extends from a point 110 of minimum radius to a point 112 of maximum radius. By this construction, an abrupt transition zone 114 is provided in the cam surface.

Inthe preferred embodiment of the present invention cam 104 is mounted on shaft 56 in a predetermined position with respect to cam element 76, as shown in dotted lines in FIG-3. In this position, the end 102 of plunger stem 100 is located adjacent the minimum radius portion 110 of cam 104. Accordingly, upon rotation of the shaft in a counterclockwise direction, i.e., as lips 14 are extended, cam 104 rotates in counterclockwise direction (which I refer to as the direction of increasing radius) to compress bellows 88, as shown in FIG. 6. The surface 108 of cam 104 is dimensioned so that when cam 76 is in the position shown in FIG. 4, i.e., when the lips 14 are in their fully extended position, the bellows 88 is fully compressed, with the end 102 of stem 100 against the largest radius portion 112 of cam 104, as shown in FIG. 6. Continued rotation of shaft 56 causes the end 122 of plunger 100 to move over the abrupt transition 114 of cam 104, under the influence of the compressed resilient bellows 88 so that the bellows returns to its original configuration (FIG. 5) as lips 14 achieve their fullest extension and begin to move back towards their original position.

In order to produce the kiss-like sound, bellows 88 is provided with a conventional reed-type sound maker 116 mounted in the side thereof. Sound maker 116 includes a flexible reed 118 mounted in an aperture 120 formed in the sound maker, providing communication dolls head 12 includes a frame member 122 mounted therein behind the eyes of the doll. This frame member is provided to cooperate with a hook 124 secured to cage 90 in any convenient manner. By this construction, the kiss mechanism of the invention is firmly related to head 12 at two positions, i.e., at the support 122 and at the mounting collar 26(Accordingly, upon rotation of cam 76, and the pushing action provided by assembly 32, only lips 14, the adjacent portions of the dolls face, assembly 32 and spring contacts 66 and 68 will be moved, i.e., the frame and the remainder of the drive mechanism remains in a rigid position against the bias provided by the resilient face of the doll.

Accordingly, it is seen that a relatively simple and inexpensively constructed doll is provided which is adapted to simulate both the action and sound of a kiss. This action is initiated simply by the touching of the lips of the doll to the lips or check of the child using the doll. It continues without interruption to automatically simulate the kiss. The cycle can be automatically repeated to produce a series of kisses simply by keeping the lips of the doll in contact with the childs face. Moreover, no external mechanisms and no special movements of the body are required in order to simulate the kiss.

Although an illustrative embodiment of the present invention has been described herein with reference to the accompanying drawings, it is to be understood that the invention is not limited to that precise embodiment, and that various changes and mocifications may be effected therein by one skilled in the art without departing from the scope or spirit of this invention.
