Abstract
Abstract A simple doll stand for the rapid mounting and removal of a doll, which holds a doll in a natural manner and which enables a child to easily rock the doll to make it shake in dance-like movements. The stand includes a disc-like base with ribs extending from a lower face to rockingly support the base on a flat surface. A pair of tubular foot-holders extend from the upper face of the base, each tubular holder having a slot along the front so that a doll''s leg can be held within the slotted tube with the foot of the doll protruding through the slot. The tubular foot-holders are detachable and can be mounted to extend from the same side of the base as the ribs, so that the stand does not rock.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 10
Claim 1
Independent Claim
128 words
A figure toy and doll stand device for placing on a supporting surface comprising: a base for resting on said surface; at least one tubular member having a lower end portion fixed to said base and a portion extending upwardly from said base, said tubular member having a slot extending from its upper end to its lower end portion, whereby to permit reception of a doll foot; and a doll having a leg with a foot at the lower end thereof, removably positioned in said tubular member so that the foot lies adjacent to said base; said tube having a diameter at the upper end thereof no more than 10 percent greater than the width of the doll leg portion that lies even with said upper tube end.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
128 words
A figure toy and doll stand device for placing on a supporting surface comprising: a base for resting on said surface; at least one tubular member having a lower end portion fixed to said base and a portion extending upwardly from said base, said tubular member having a slot extending from its upper end to its lower end portion, whereby to permit reception of a doll foot; and a doll having a leg with a foot at the lower end thereof, removably positioned in said tubular member so that the foot lies adjacent to said base; said tube having a diameter at the upper end thereof no more than 10 percent greater than the width of the doll leg portion that lies even with said upper tube end.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
24 words
The device described in claim 1 wherein: said tubular member has a plurality of internally projecting ribs extending in a direction along its length.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
24 words
The device described in claim 1 including: means defining an elongated pivot depending from said base for rockingly supporting said base on said surface.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
69 words
The device described in claim 1 wherein: said base has a substantially Flat shape with first and second opposite faces; and including means defining an elongated rib extending from said first face of said base to rockingly support it; and wherein said tubular member is constructed for detachable mounting on either face of said base, whereby to enable conversion from a base that rocks to one that does not.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
25 words
The device described in claim 1 wherein: said tubular member is tapered to define a progressively smaller diameter at regions progressively further from said base.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
55 words
The device described in claim 1 wherein: said base has three apertures spaced from one another about a circle; and said tubular member has three angled flanges at its lower end for reception in said apertures, one of said flanges located on either side of said slot and the other located directly opposite said slot.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
122 words
A figure toy and stand device comprising: a substantially flat base having a portion extending from a first face thereof to define a pivot fulcrum, for rockingly supporting said base on a surface; a pair of foot-holding members having lower ends fixed to said base and extending substantially perpendicular to and away from a second face of said base which lies opposite said first face, said foot-holding members spaced at different distances from said pivot fulcrum; and a toy figure with a pair of legs in said tubular members, said toy figure having relatively movable portions above said legs, whereby when said base is rocked on said pivot fulcrum said portions move relative to each other and thereby animate said figure toy.
Claim 9
Dependent Claim
122 words
A figure toy and stand device comprising: a substantially flat base having a portion extending from a first face thereof to define a pivot fulcrum, for rockingly supporting said base on a surface; a pair of foot-holding members having lower ends fixed to said base and extending substantially perpendicular to and away from a second face of said base which lies opposite said first face, said foot-holding members spaced at different distances from said pivot fulcrum; and a toy figure with a pair of legs in said tubular members, said toy figure having relatively movable portions above said legs, whereby when said base is rocked on said pivot fulcrum said portions move relative to each other and thereby animate said figure toy.
Claim 10
Dependent Claim
20 words
The device described in claim 7 wherein: said pivot fulcrum is spaced from the center of gravity of said base.
