Abstract
A crying doll having a head with eyes, each endowed with a tear hole, a mouth, a device housed in the head for producing the visual effect of the doll shedding tears that has a fluid tank connected to the outside and able to accumulate a fluid above the level of the tear holes, and at least one flexible supply duct that hydraulically connects with one or both of the tear holes. The device includes a throttle for the supply duct and an actuating cam for the throttle for arranging the throttle against the supply duct, flattening it locally and impeding the passage of fluid through it. The actuating cam is mounted in the proximity of the mouth and operable upon inserting a nipple of an accessory element, separate or not from the doll, in the mouth.
Claims17
A crying doll that comprises a head in which two eyes are provided, each eye endowed with a tear hole, and a mouth;
- and a device housed in the head for producing the visual effect of the doll shedding tears by spilling tears from the eyes;
- the device comprising a fluid tank connected to the outside and able to accumulate a fluid above a level of the tear holes and at least one flexible supply duct that hydraulically connects said tank to one or to both of the tear holes;
- wherein the device further comprises a throttle for the supply duct and an actuating cam for the throttle with the ability to move between an operative position, in which the actuating cam pushes and arranges the throttle against the supply duct, flattening the supply duct locally and impeding the passage of fluid through the duct;
- and a free position, in which the actuating cam does not arrange the throttle against the duct, thereby allowing the passage of liquid from the tank to the tear holes, the actuating cam being mounted in the proximity of the mouth and being operable in the direction of the operative position upon inserting in the mouth a nipple of an accessory element, separate or not from the doll.
