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.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 5
Claim 1
Independent Claim
204 words
A tearing eye doll comprising a head, said head including a shell having a hollow interior and an inner surface, a bulbous projection having an outer surface and disposed within said hollow interior and occupying approximately two thirds of said hollow interior, said bulbous projection having air at atmospheric pressure disposed therein, a space in the hollow interior of the doll''s head between the inner surface of said shell and the outer surface of said bulbous projection, a doll torso, sealing means disposed at the lower portion of said head for sealingly engaging said head to said doll torso in a water tight fashion, the shell being provided with a pair of eyes with a measured hole in each eye in communication with said space, means for filling said space with water, said bulbous projection having a hollow interior and provided with an air hole located in the general area which is highest when the doll is in a vertical position and in a horizontal position, said air hole being in communication with said space and permitting air under pressure to be urged into said space when the doll torso is squeezed promoting the leakage of water from the measured holes in said eyes.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim

A tearing eye doll comprising a head, said head including a shell having a hollow interior and an inner surface, a bulbous projection having an outer surface and disposed within said hollow interior and occupying approximately two thirds of said hollow interior, said bulbous projection having air at atmospheric pressure disposed therein, a space in the hollow interior of the doll''s head between the inner surface of said shell and the outer surface of said bulbous projection, a doll torso, sealing means disposed at the lower portion of said head for sealingly engaging said head to said doll torso in a water tight fashion, the shell being provided with a pair of eyes with a measured hole in each eye in communication with said space, means for filling said space with water, said bulbous projection having a hollow interior and provided with an air hole located in the general area which is highest when the doll is in a vertical position and in a horizontal position, said air hole being in communication with said space and permitting air under pressure to be urged into said space when the doll torso is squeezed promoting the leakage of water from the measured holes in said eyes.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
40 words
