Tearing eye doll actuated by squeezing the torso

Abstract

Abstract The essence of the invention resides in the use of an area in the interior of a doll''s head which is in direct communication with measured holes in the doll''s eyes and which is formed by a means of displacing a portion of the hollow interior of said doll''s head. The measured holes in the doll''s eyes run through from the interior of the doll head to the exterior thereof. The preferred means for forming the area is by the use of a bulbous protrusion which is part of the torso of the doll body and which extends upwardly therefrom. The bulbous protrusion is hollow so that air may be accumulated therein, may be formed other than integrally with the torso although the integral formation is preferred. The area is formed between the interior surface of the doll''s head and the exterior surface of the bulbous protrusion and a flange and seat arrangement is formed at the doll''s neck to prevent the leakage of fluid from the area when fluid is contained or injected therein. Fluid is urged into the area by the use of a slit formed in the back of the mouth of the doll. Water may be injected into the mouth and this water is used to force the slit open and force fluid into the area. The leakage of fluid through the measured holes in the doll''s eyes may be a result of either light pressure applied to the surface of the fluid in the area or as a result of a gravity feed of fluid through the holes. The use of the gravity feed requires an aperture in the doll while the use of pressure requires a hole in the bulbous protrusion within the head of the doll.
