Dual face illuminated doll

Abstract

Abstract The doll is preferably made of a transluscent flesh colored resilient plastic material, having a hollow body, legs and arms, and a plurality of extra interchangeable heads representing an assortment of different persons, the body being provided with electric power means for lighting a bulb which is mounted in the neck of the body and extends into the hollow of any head that might be mounted thereon. Upon switching on the light, the head glows more or less brightly depending on the power of the light bulb and the transparency of the flesh colored plastic material the head is made of. Additional bulbs may be used in the other hollow parts of the body to light it all up when desired. Blinkers may be included in the circuit to produce an interrupted lighting effect, and a timer may be used to limit the period of lighting. A child will be readily attracted by a doll of this type, especially if a suitably recognizable head of a doctor or a nurse, mother, sister, brother or other person, used in accordance with the child''s show of interest, is selected for it. A double-faced head may be used to instantly alternate between the two selected persons emulated, by turning the desired head forwardly on the body. The double faced head may further be provided with a wiglet, the hair of which may be shifted on top of the head so as to cover the face turned to the rear. In another modification, by matching the clothing exposed on the opposite sides of a body with the faces on said sides, all that needs to switch from simulating one person to the other is to turn the body over from one side to the other as desired. The doll may be battery powered or it may be plugged into the house current for supplying the current to the light bulb through a switch on the body which may be concealed by a portion of the clothing.
