ABSTRACT:
A comb and talk doll includes a hair actuated sound generating mechanism. A hair cluster is resiliently secured within a doll head to one end of a spring urged hair shaft. Comb and/or brush engagement of the hair cluster exteriorly of the doll head, linearly displaces the hair shaft. Another end of the hair shaft cooperatively interacts with a cam surface of a pivotal arm for actuating the sound mechanism. In another embodiment, a wire link provides an interconnection between the hair cluster and a pivotal arm. When the hair cluster is released, a spring force restores the pivotal arm to its initial position to deactuate the sound mechanism. In an alternate embodiment, displacement of the hair shaft during combable engagement of the hair cluster, closes an electrical circuit for energizing the sound mechanism.
