Abstract
An electric circuit, including a power source and a resistive heating element, is provided within the body of a doll. The circuit is completed by the insertion of a thermometer into an aperture provided in the body of the doll, and the heat generated by the resistive heating element is registered on the thermometer, thereby creating the effect of "taking the doll's temperature."
Claims11
A doll and thermometer in combination wherein said doll is provided with an aperture and an electric circuit comprising:
- a power source;
- at least one resistive heating element;
- and
- means operable to open and close said circuit and wherein said thermometer, when inserted into the doll through said aperture, disposes said resistive heating element in electrical connection with said power source with the heat generated by said resistive heating element being registered on said thermometer.
1 more element
A doll and thermometer in combination wherein said doll is provided with an aperture and a partial electric circuit comprising a power source and
- a socket, having at least two electrical contacts disposed therewithin and adapted to receive matingly said thermometer;
- and wherein said thermometer has disposed within its tip a complementary partial circuit comprising a resistive heating element in electrical communication with at least two electrical contacts such that when the said thermometer is inserted into said doll through said aperture, and its tip received matingly into said socket, said two partial circuits form a closed circuit between said power source and said resistive heating element and the heat generated, by said resistive heating element within the thermometer's tip will be registered on said thermometer.
