Claim 8

The toy doll as defined in claim 3 including means operatively connected with said lip-moving means for simulating the sound of a kiss as said lips return from said puckered position to said normal position.

Claim 9

The toy doll as defined in claim 5 wherein said sound simulating means comprises an air bellows having an opening therein, a reed mounted in said opening, and means driven by said motor for compressing said bellows as said lips are extended by said compound cam and for releasing said bellows as said lips return to their normal position, thereby to permit expansion of the bellows and vibration of said reed as air enters said bellows through said opening for simulating a kissing sound as the pucker of the lips is released.

Claim 10

The toy doll as defined in claim 6 wherein said means for compressing the bellows comprises a second cam mounted in said head coaxially of said compound cam for rotation therewith, said second cam having a continuous cam surface of increasing radius with an abrupt transition in said surface between the maximum and minimum radius portions thereof and positioned to rotate in the direction of its increasing radius and plunger means operatively engaged at one end against said bellows and engaged at its opposite end with said second cam, whereby said bellows are compressed as said lips are extended, said abrupt transition being located to permit return of said plunger from the highest surface portion of said second cam to the lowest surface portion thereof as said extended puckered lips begin their return to their original position, thereby to release said bellows and produce said simulated kiss sound.

Claim 11

The toy doll as defined in claim 3 wherein said means for moving said lips includes a rigid frame, said cam being rotatably mounted in said frame and said frame being secured to said head in at least two spaced locations, thereby to prevent lateral movement of said cam in said head as said lips are extended.

Claim 12

A doll comprising a head having a resilient flexible face including a pair of movable lips formed thereon, and means mounted within said doll for moving said lips to simulate a kiss, said means including an electric motor, selectively operable switch means for activating said motor, means operatively connected between said lips and said switch for closing said switch to activate said motor upon the external application of a slight pressure to said lips, and means, driven by said motor, for moving said lips between normal and extended puckered positions and for maintaining said switch in its closed position as said lips are moved from said normal to said puckered position, thereby to maintain said motor in operation.

Claim 13

A doll comprising a head having a resilient flexible face including a pair of movable lips formed thereon, and means mounted within said doll for moving said lips to simulate a kiss, said means including an electric motor, selectively operable switch means for activating said motor, means operatively connected between said lips and said switch for closing said switch to activate said motor upon the external application of a slight pressure to said lips, and means, driven by said motor, for moving said lips between normal and extended puckered positions and for maintaining said switch in its closed position as said lips are moved from said normal to said puckered position, thereby to maintain said motor in operation.

Claim 14

The toy doll as defined in claim 9 including sound producing means driven by said motor for producing a sound simulating the sound of a kiss as said lips return from their extended puckered position to their normal position.

Claim 15

Claim 16

The toy doll as defined in claim 11 wherein said means for closing the switch includes a push member secured at one end to said lips and positioned at its opposite end to push against said second contact, whereby upon application of a slight pressure to said lips, said second spring contact is moved inwardly by said push member against said first contact to close said switch and operate said motor to rotate said compound cam, said cam rotation maintaining said spring contacts in engagement and urging said push member outwardly to pusher said lips with the engagement between said contacts being broken as said first cam section returns into engagement with said first spring contact.

Claim 17

Claim 18

The toy as defined in claim 13 wherein said means for compressing the bellows comprises a second cam mounted in said head coaxially of said compound cam for rotation therewith, said second cam having a continuous cam surface of increasing radius with an abrupt transition in said surface between the maximum and minimum radius portions thereof and positioned to rotate in the direction of its increasing radius, and plunger means operatively engaged at one end against said bellows and engaged at its opposite end with said second cam, whereby said bellows are compressed as said lips are extended; said abrupt transition being located to permit return of said plunger from the highest surface portion of said second cam to the lowest surface portion thereof as said extended puckered lips begin their return to their original position, thereby to release said bellows and produce said simulated kiss sound.
