High chair doll

Claim 2

In combination: a doll chair having driving means; and a doll suitable for occupying said chair comprising: a body carrying movable body members, driven means within said body accessible from the exterior thereof and operatively coupled to said body members, and drive coupling means for selectively coupling the chair driving means to the doll driven means, thereby effecting animated movement of said body members.

Claim 3

The combination as set forth in claim 1 wherein said driving means include motor means drivingly connected to a drive member journaled on a wall of said chair and defining a keyed opening, said doll driven means including a driven member journaled interiorly of said body defining a keyed opening; said driven member opening being positioned for alignment with said driving member opening when the doll is seated in the chair, and wherein said coupling means comprise a shank exhibiting a cross section complementary to the member openings and receivable thereby to provide a driving connection from the chair to the doll.

Claim 4

The combination as set forth in claim 2 wherein said chair driving means comprise a number of driving gears each defining keyed openings, wherein said doll driven means comprise a number of driven gears, wherein different driven means associated with each of said driving gears effects different movements of said body members, and wherein said key is selectively receivable by any of said driving gears and a corresponding driven gear to effect said different animated movements.

Claim 5

The combination as set forth in claim 3 wherein said driven gears include two spaced apart driven gears each having keyed openings, and a third driven gear adapted to selectively simultaneously engage each of said spaced apart gears for effecting simultaneous animation of all of the movable body members.

Claim 6

The combination as set forth in claim 4 wherein said driving means include cam means operable for periodically disengaging said motor from said driving gears to effect random movement of the body members.

Claim 7

The combination as set forth in claim 1 wherein said driven means include means interconnecting said first arm and the head of said doll to provide simultaneous lifting movement of the first arm towards the head and forward nodding movement of the head to simulate self-feeding, and include means operatively connected to a second arm to provide lifting movement thereof, and wherein said doll includes movable eyes operatively connected for movement with either of said arms.

Claim 8

The combination as set forth in claim 1 wherein said body members include a pair of arms independently secured to a pair of arm shafts journaled in said body, and a head secured to said body by a depending vertical member defining a central bore and carrying a gear at its lower end; wherein said driven means include two gears journaled in said body and two links for coupling each of said two gears to a respective one of said arm shafts.

Claim 9

A doll comprising a body; a number of body members mounted on said body for movement relative thereto; first driven means operatively interconnecting at least two of said body members; second driven means operatively connected to another of said body members; and driving means including a motor exterior of said doll for selectively driving said first driving gear means to effect movement of said interconnected body members, or for driving said second driven means to effect movement of said other body members; wherein said first and second driven means include first and second driven gears individually journaled interiorly of said body; each of said gears defining a central keyed opening accessible from the exterior of the doll body; and wherein said driving means comprise a doll chair carrying said motor and having gear means carried by the chair back including two driving gears each having a central keyed opening alignable with the openings of said driven gears; and key means comprising a shank complementary to each of said keyed gear openings which is selectively insertable between either of said driving gears and an aligned driven gear.

Claim 10

A doll comprising a body; a number of body members mounted on said body for movement relative thereto; first driven means operatively interconnecting at least two of said body members; second driven means operatively connected to another of said body members; and driving means including a motor exterior of said doll for selectively driving said first driving gear means to effect movement of said interconnected body members, or for driving said second driven means to effect movement of said other body members; wherein said first and second driven means include first and second driven gears individually journaled interiorly of said body; each of said gears defining a central keyed opening accessible from the exterior of the doll body; and wherein said driving means comprise a doll chair carrying said motor and having gear means carried by the chair back including two driving gears each having a central keyed opening alignable with the openings of said driven gears; and key means comprising a shank complementary to each of said keyed gear openings which is selectively insertable between either of said driving gears and an aligned driven gear.
