Animated doll
Abstract
Abstract AN ANIMATED DOLL IS DESCRIBED AS COMPRISING A DOLL BODY, A HEAD MOVABLY MOUNTED ON THE BODY FOR COMPLEX MOTION AND LEGS FOR WALKING MOTION. THE MOTION OF THE HEAD AND LEGS IS PROVIDED BY A MOTOR WHICH ROTATES A DRIVE SHAFT. THE DRIVE SHAFT TERMINATES AT ONE END IN AN ANGULARLY OFFSET SHAFT EXTENSION PROJECTING INTO THE HEAD OF THE DOLL AND AT THE OTHER END AS THE AXIS OF A CRANK. THE CRANK COOPERATES WITH A CRANK ARM WHICH HAS A CRANK PIN MOVABLE BY THE ROTATING ACTION OF THE CRANK IN AN ELONGATED SLOT IN THE BASE OF A BODY HOUSING. HARNESSES AND C-SPRINGS DEPEND INTO EACH LEG, THE SPRINGS MOUNTING THE LEGS AND THE HARNESSES LOADING THE SPRINGS FOR FLEXURE ALTERNATELY BY MEANS OF THEIR ATTACHMENT TO THE CRANK PIN.
