Abstract
Abstract A kicking doll in which a system responsive to pressure exerted on the arms of the doll causes its legs to move from normal positions, which they occupy under the influence of gravity when the doll is erect or is lying on its back, toward resilient stops which define kicking limit positions intermediate the normal and sitting positions of the legs. The legs may be manually moved past the resilient stops to a sitting position determined by positive stops.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 8
Claim 1
Independent Claim
99 words
An animated doll including in combination a torso, a leg, means mounting said leg for pivotal movement on said torso, a hollow arm of resilient material carried by said body, said arm adapted to be deformed to compress air in said arm, an expansible bellows, means mounting said bellows within said torso at one end of the bellows, means connecting the other end of the bellows to said leg, and means for coupling compressed air from said arm to the interior of said bellows to simulate a kicking action of said leg in response to squeezing of said arm.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
99 words
An animated doll including in combination a torso, a leg, means mounting said leg for pivotal movement on said torso, a hollow arm of resilient material carried by said body, said arm adapted to be deformed to compress air in said arm, an expansible bellows, means mounting said bellows within said torso at one end of the bellows, means connecting the other end of the bellows to said leg, and means for coupling compressed air from said arm to the interior of said bellows to simulate a kicking action of said leg in response to squeezing of said arm.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
51 words
An animated doll as in claim 1 in which said leg is mounted on said torso for movement between a generally extended position and a sitting position, and resilient interengageable means on said leg and on said torso for stopping said leg in a position intermediate said extended and sitting positions.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
17 words
An animated doll as in claim 1 in which said bellows is provided with a breather Opening.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
76 words
An animated doll including in combination a torso, left and right resilient arms carried by said torso, a left leg, a right leg, respective means mounting aid legs for individual pivotal movement on said torso, first means responsive to squeezing of said right arm to pivot said left leg to simulate a kicking action thereof and second means responsive to squeezing of said left arm for pivoting said right leg to simulate a kicking action thereof.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
76 words
An animated doll including in combination a torso, left and right resilient arms carried by said torso, a left leg, a right leg, respective means mounting aid legs for individual pivotal movement on said torso, first means responsive to squeezing of said right arm to pivot said left leg to simulate a kicking action thereof and second means responsive to squeezing of said left arm for pivoting said right leg to simulate a kicking action thereof.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
66 words
An animated doll as in claim 4 in which said arms are hollow, and in which said means responsive to actuation of said arms comprises respective bellows, means mounting one end of each bellows on said torso, means connecting the other ends of said bellows respectively to said legs, and means providing communication between the interiors of said arms respectively and the interiors of said bellows.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
68 words
An animated doll as in claim 4 in which legs are mounted on said torso for movement from generally straight positions through kicking positions to sitting positions, first resilient stops for limiting movement of said legs from said normal positions to said kicking positions under the action of said bellows and second positive stops for limiting movement of said legs from said kicking positions to said sitting positions.
