Abstract
A combination doll and accessory is provided in which the doll has an articulated limb mounted for movement relative to the doll's torso and pneumatically actuated bellows in the body for moving the limb upon application of pressure to an air reservoir contained in the doll's body. An accessory for use with the doll, for example a carriage, includes a second air reservoir and a conduit which can be connected to the air reservoir in the doll's body through a selectively operable valve. When the doll is connected to the accessory the articulated limb can be actuated by either squeezing the doll or the air reservoir on the carriage.
Claims8
A combination doll and accessory comprising a doll body having a torso and at least one articulated limb mounted in the body for movement relative to the body's torso;
- a pressure responsive actuator in said body connected to said at least one limb for moving the limb relative to the torso upon application of fluid pressure thereto;
- a flexible fluid reservoir located in said body in fluid communication with said actuator whereby compression of said reservoir will cause application of pressure to said actuator and movement of said at least one limb;
- said reservoir having an outlet opening to the exterior of the doll's body and valve means for selectively opening and closing said outlet opening;
- an accessory for said doll including a second fluid reservoir and means for connecting said second reservoir to the reservoir in the doll's body, through said valve means, whereby said limb may be selectively actuated by application of pressure to the reservoir in the dolls's body or to said second reservoir.
A combination doll and doll accessory comprising a body having at least one articulated body portion mounted for movement relative to the body's torso, air bellows mounted in said body and connected to said articulated body portion, a flexible air reservoir mounted in the doll's body and connected in fluid communication with said bellows to expand said bellows for moving said articulated body portion upon application of squeezing pressure to said body adjacent said reservoir, a doll's accessory and means on said accessory, selectively operably connection to said reservoir for selectively increasing air pressure in said reservoir from a remote location on said accessory to expand said bellows whereby said articulated body portion may be moved either upon application of pressure to the doll's body or upon activation of said means on the accessory.
A combination doll and accessory comprising a body having at least one articulated body portion mounted for movement relative to the body's torso, first means in said body for moving said articulated body portion upon application of pressure to said body, said first means comprising an air bellows connected to said articulated body portion and a flexible air reservoir connected in fluid communication to said bellows whereby application of pressure to said reservoir expands the bellows and causes movement of said articulated body portion;
- said air reservoir in the doll's body having an outlet opening therein and valve means for selectively opening and closing the outlet opening;
- a doll's accessory and second means on said accessory, selectively operably connected to said first means upon application of pressure to said second means whereby said articulated body portion may be moved upon application of pressure to either the doll's body or to said second means;
- said second means comprising a second air reservoir, mounted on said accessory and conduit means connecting said second reservoir to said first reservoir through said valve means.
