ABSTRACT:
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
1. Field of the Invention
The present invention relates to an artificial eyeball for a doll, particularly an artificial eyeball which is controllable to wink by means of electromagnets provided in the eyeball.
2. Description of Related Art
Dolls have been loved by children all over the world since the beginning of civilization. One kind of conventional doll has a pair of winking eyes. When the doll is laid down, the eyes of the doll are closed. When the doll is stood up, the eyes of the doll are open. Children enjoy playing with this kind of doll, however as the eyes can only mechanically close or open when the doll is laid down or stood up, it's appeal to sophisticated modern children is very limited.
Therefore, it is an objective of the invention to provide an improved eyeball of a doll to mitigate and/or obviate the aforementioned problems.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
The object of the present invention is to provide an artificial eyeball of a doll, the eyeball comprising a base fitted in an eye socket of the doll, an eye globe pivotally connected with the base, and a set of electromagnets provided in the base, whereby the eyeball is electrically controllable to wink by means of the electromagnets, and the doll fitted with this kind of eyeball will wink naturally and in an interesting way to attract customers.
The detailed features of the present invention will be apparent in the detailed description with appropriate reference to the accompanying drawings.
