Kissing doll having squeezable arm and sounder located substantially midway between arm and mouth

Abstract

Abstract This doll has means to simulate the sound and feel of a kiss. One arm and hand of the doll, made of elastic or resilient plastic material, constitutes a bulb connected by a tube sealed to an opening at the mouth and between the lips of the doll. In the tube is a reed through which air passes in a direction toward the opening, without sounding the reed, when the arm is squeezed. The lips of the doll can then be pressed against a persons cheek, and pressure thereafter released from the arm to allow the bulb to expand, to create a partial vacuum causing the cheek to be drawn and held to the lips in the manner of a vacuum cup. Upon thereafter pulling the doll's head away from the cheek, a suction feeling is created, simulating the feel of a kiss, and air rushes through the opening and back through the tube to said arm, to sound the reed, thus simulating the sound of a kiss. The reed is placed at a point remote from the arm, so that a slight squeeze of the arm or squeezing the hand of said arm, alone, will not expel sufficient air through the reed to create a back flow of air through the reed sufficient to sound the reed, when the doll's head is pulled away from the cheek. Reducing sleeves are fixed into the tube to prolong the whistling sound.
