Claim 4
Dependent Claim
36 words
A doll as defined in claim 1, wherein said sensing means is formed so that it senses smoke in the environment, said means forming said pictures in response to sensing of smoke by said sensing means.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
39 words
A doll as defined in claim 1, wherein said sensing means is formed so that it senses sound which exceeds a predetermined level, said means forming said pictures in response to sensing of said sound by said sensing means.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
31 words
A doll as defined in claim 1; and further comprising further means arranged to produce a sound of crying in response to sensing of said one condition by said sensing means.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
39 words
A doll as defined in claim 1; and further comprising additional means arranged to form an image of a butterfly in a stomach area of the doll in response to sensing of said one condition by said sensing means.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
39 words
A doll as defined in claim 1; and further comprising supplemental means arranged to form an image of a frog in a throat area of the doll in response to sensing of said one condition by said sensing means.
Claim 9
Dependent Claim
45 words
A doll as defined in claim 1; and further including means for turning off said sensing means; comprising an element formed so that when it is placed near said pictures forming means said pictures forming means forms said pictures of the expanding and contracting heart.
Claim 10
Dependent Claim
38 words
A doll element as defined in claim 1; and further including means for adjusting a sensitivity of said sensing means so as to change a level of said condition, which causes said sensing means to form said pictures.
Claim 11
Dependent Claim
71 words
A doll as defined in claim 1, wherein said sensing means includes a plurality of sensors each sensing different conditions of the environment and connected with said pictures forming means so that the latter forms said pictures in response to sensing said conditions by said sensors; and further comprising means for turning off at least one said sensors so that the respective condition is not sensed by said turned off sensor.
Claim 12
Dependent Claim
44 words
A doll as defined in claim 1, wherein said sensing means includes a plurality of sensors sensing different conditions of environment and connected with said pictures forming means so that the latter form said pictures in response to sensing said conditions by said sensors.
Claim 13
Dependent Claim
65 words
A doll as defined in claim 1; and further comprising further means arranged to produce a sound of crying in response to sensing of said one condition; a movement sensor arranged to sense a rocking of said doll and connected with said further means to cause the further means to stop production of sound in response to sensing of the rocking of said doll element.
Claim 14
Dependent Claim
41 words
A doll as defined in claim 12; and further comprising delay means connected with said further means to produce a sound of crying and to maintain the sound of crying for a predetermine time when a user stops rocking said doll.
Claim 15
Dependent Claim
135 words
A doll as defined in claim 12, wherein said movement sensor includes at least two members, and a circuit connected therewith, one of said members being fixedly connected with said doll, while the other of said members is connected with said doll to move from a first position to a second position in response to rocking of the doll, said circuit being closed to cause the further means to produce said sound of crying, when said doll element is rocked and said other member moves away from said one member and said circuit is opened so that the production of the sound of crying by said further means is stopped when the moveable member is in its second position and said circuit being opened to prohibit said further means from producing said sound of crying.
Claim 16
Dependent Claim
75 words
A doll as defined in claim 12, wherein said movement sensor includes a circuit and a current conductive moveable member arranged so that when said doll element is not rocked said moveable member does not close said circuit and said further means produces said sound of crying, and wherein when said doll element is rocked said moveable member moves and closes said circuit so that the further means causes production of the sound of crying.
