Abstract
Abstract A doll is provided with a bent arm pivotally mounted so as to bring the bent arm in the vicinity of a doll''s mouth upon rotation of the arm in response to the pulling of a drawstring. When the doll''s hand is in the vicinity of the doll''s mouth, a spring, which is cocked during the pivoting movement of the arm, is released substantially simultaneously with the actuation of a sounding device which produces a simulated kissing sound. The mechanism is such that the movement of the arm under the influence of the spring will be comparatively rapid with respect to the movement of the arm to the proximity of the doll''s mouth. The rapid movement of the arm accompanied by the simulated kissing sound simulates the throwing of a kiss by the doll.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 14
Claim 1
Independent Claim
133 words
In a kiss-throwing doll, a torso, a head having a mouth mounted on said torso, an arm carrying a hand, means mounting said arm on said torso for movement of said hand between a first position remote from said mouth and a second position adjacent to said mouth, means biasing said arm to said first position, an actuator carried by said torso for movement relative thereto, releasable coupling means for moving said arm from said first position to said second position in response to movement of said actuator in a certain direction, and means responsive to a predetermined movement of said actuator in said direction for releasing said coupling means to permit said biasing means to return said arm to said first position whereby the movement of said hand simulates a kiss-throwing action.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
133 words
In a kiss-throwing doll, a torso, a head having a mouth mounted on said torso, an arm carrying a hand, means mounting said arm on said torso for movement of said hand between a first position remote from said mouth and a second position adjacent to said mouth, means biasing said arm to said first position, an actuator carried by said torso for movement relative thereto, releasable coupling means for moving said arm from said first position to said second position in response to movement of said actuator in a certain direction, and means responsive to a predetermined movement of said actuator in said direction for releasing said coupling means to permit said biasing means to return said arm to said first position whereby the movement of said hand simulates a kiss-throwing action.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
14 words
A doll as in claim 1 in which said actuator comprises an oscillatory spool.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
22 words
A doll as in claim 1 in which said actuator comprises an oscillatory spool and said coupling means includes an overrunning clutch.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
16 words
A doll as in claim 1 in which said means mounting said arm comprises a lever.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
15 words
A doll as in claim 1 in which said coupling means includes an interrupted cam.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
25 words
A doll as in claim 1 in which said means for mounting said arm includes a lever and said biasing means includes a sear spring.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
34 words
A doll as in claim 1 in which said actuator includes a spool, a wire spring for biasing said spool to rotate in a predetermined direction, and a flexible member wound about said spool.
Claim 9
Dependent Claim
77 words
A doll as in claim 1 having a bladder normally biased to expanded condition, means for compressing said bladder, means for coupling said actuator to said bladder compressing means, sound producing means adapted to be actuated upon the expansion of said bladder, the construction of said arm coupling means and said bladder compressing coupling means being such That both are released in substantial synchronism to produce a sound substantially simultaneously with the return movement of the arm.
Claim 10
Dependent Claim
82 words
In a doll, a bladder normally biased to expanded condition, a movable actuator, means for compressing said bladder, releasable means for coupling said actuator to said bladder compressing means in response to movement of said actuator in a certain direction, sound producing means adapted to be actuated upon expansion of said bladder, and means responsive to a predetermined movement of said actuator in said direction for releasing said coupling means to permit said bladder to expand to actuate said sound producing means.
Claim 11
Dependent Claim
82 words
In a doll, a bladder normally biased to expanded condition, a movable actuator, means for compressing said bladder, releasable means for coupling said actuator to said bladder compressing means in response to movement of said actuator in a certain direction, sound producing means adapted to be actuated upon expansion of said bladder, and means responsive to a predetermined movement of said actuator in said direction for releasing said coupling means to permit said bladder to expand to actuate said sound producing means.
Claim 12
Dependent Claim
14 words
A doll as in claim 9 in which said actuator comprises an oscillatory spool.
Claim 13
Dependent Claim
22 words
A doll as in claim 9 in which said actuator comprises an oscillatory spool and said coupling means includes an overrunning clutch.
Claim 14
Dependent Claim
15 words
A doll as in claim 9 in which said coupling means includes a jump cam.
