In a doll including a torso and a head mounted Thereon and sound producing means mounted in said torso for simulating the sound of a kiss, the improvement in said sound producing means comprising: bellows means for receiving and expelling air, said bellows means including a resilient squeezable body portion connected to a closeable, flexible neck portion defining a passageway between the interior and exterior of said body portion, whereby the air in said body portion is pressurized when said body portion is squeezed and said neck portion is closed; and stop cock means associated with the neck portion and the body portion, said stop cock means being movable from a normally closed position closing said neck portion to an open position allowing opening of said neck portion in response to and after continued squeezing of the body portion, whereby pressurized air is expelled from said bellows means when said stop cock means moves from its closed to its open position producing a simulated kissing sound after a predetermined pressure is built up in said body portion.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim 40 words
The doll of claim 1 including common actuating means engageable with the bellows means and stop cock means to first pressurize the air in said body portion and then move said stop cock means from its closed to open positions.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim 66 words
The doll of claim 2 wherein said actuating means includes two pivotally connected members mounting the bellows means and stop cock means therebetween, said members operating said bellows means and stop cock means sequentially when said members are moved toward one another so that said body portion will be squeezed therebetween followed by moving said stop cock means from its closed position to its open position.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim 88 words
The doll of claim 3 wherein the bellows means includes a resiliently flexible bulb defining said body portion, the bulb being sufficiently flexible to be squeezed but resilient enough so that it will return to its original configuration after the squeezing force has terminated, and an elongated neck portion communicating with the bulb, the neck portion being more flexible than the body portion, said body portion having a one-way valve so that air can be introduced into the body portion after squeezing when the neck portion is closed.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim 63 words
The doll of claim 1 wherein the bellows means includes a resiliently, flexible bulb defining the body portion, the bulb being sufficiently flexible to be squeezed but resilient enough so that it will return to its original configuration after the squeezing force has terminated, and an elongated neck portion communicating with the bulb, the neck portion being more flexible than the body portion.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim 203 words
A kissing doll comprising: a flexible hollow torso and a head including a pair of lips movable outwardly relative to the remainder of the head and a pair of cheeks movable inwardly relative to the remainder of said head to simulate lip and cheek movements associated with a human kiss; means forming a chamber within the torso; movable means mounted in said torso and operatively connected to said chamber for creating an air pressure differential between the interior and the exterior of said chamber; a passageway having flexible walls communicating between the interior and exterior of said chamber; stop cock means mounted in said torso associated with the passageway, for engaging said walls and preventing flow of air through said passageway so as to permit the establishment of a pressure differential in said chamber and to relieve said pressure differential in said chamber to thereby produce a sound simulating a human kiss as the air passes through the flexible passageway; and said movable means being selectively operable for opening said stop cock means and moving said lips outward and said cheeks inward relative to the remainder of said head in timed relation, whereby a life-like kiss involving both sound and motion is produced.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim 203 words
A kissing doll comprising: a flexible hollow torso and a head including a pair of lips movable outwardly relative to the remainder of the head and a pair of cheeks movable inwardly relative to the remainder of said head to simulate lip and cheek movements associated with a human kiss; means forming a chamber within the torso; movable means mounted in said torso and operatively connected to said chamber for creating an air pressure differential between the interior and the exterior of said chamber; a passageway having flexible walls communicating between the interior and exterior of said chamber; stop cock means mounted in said torso associated with the passageway, for engaging said walls and preventing flow of air through said passageway so as to permit the establishment of a pressure differential in said chamber and to relieve said pressure differential in said chamber to thereby produce a sound simulating a human kiss as the air passes through the flexible passageway; and said movable means being selectively operable for opening said stop cock means and moving said lips outward and said cheeks inward relative to the remainder of said head in timed relation, whereby a life-like kiss involving both sound and motion is produced.
