BRIEF SUMMARY
DESCRIPTION
The present invention relates to a doll.
FIELD OF THE INVENTION
The present invention seeks to provide a doll as a child's toy with a high degree of realism which reflects and enhances the love a mother feels for her baby. It is believed that this degree of realism has not previously been obtained in a doll in the manner of the present invention.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
The present invention seeks to provide a doll to simulate a baby (or an infant) awakening when the mother leaves the baby after having put it to sleep, the doll of the present invention simulates this by opening its eyes when the child leaves it. The doll is also able to simulate the cry of a baby as it awakes upon the mother leaving the baby. This awakening of the doll may be triggered by signal transmitting and signal receiving means. The signal transmitting means may be carried by the child and be preferably heart shaped further symbolizing the love existing between a mother and her baby. The simulated cry of a baby may be produced by a sound/voice synthesizer.
The present invention also provides a second mode for the doll in which a speech synthesizer comes into operation.
The present invention additionally seeks to provide a doll having a heart beat simulator. This may be activated by a listener pressing his/her ear to the chest of the doll and gives an additional dimension of realism to the doll.
The present invention also seeks to provide a doll having a belch/"burp" simulator which can be activated such that a belch/"burp" sound is emitted from the doll, thus simulating the sound of a feeding baby.
The present invention further seeks to provide a doll having a disabling arrangement such that the only function that is not disabled is the heart beat simulator. The doll will thus not awake, cry, belch/"burp" or speak; the heart beat will, however, still be able to be activated.
The embodiment of the disabling arrangement may be in the form of a dummy which is inserted into the mouth of the doll. The mouth contains a mouth switch into which the dummy is inserted to disable all functions (except for the heart beat as above stated).
In accordance with one aspect of the present invention there is provided a doll comprising: a body having a head with at least one eye, said eye comprising a pivotal eye ball means; solenoid means having a movable solenoid bolt; separate signal transmitting means; and, said body provided with signal receiving means, wherein said eye ball means is pivotable between first and second positions simulating a closed and open eye, respectively, and said solenoid bolt is movable between first and second positions such that when said doll is in a substantially horizontal position and a signal emitted by said signal transmitting means is not received by said signal receiving means, said solenoid bolt moves from said first position to said second position which causes said eye ball means to pivot from said first position to said second position.
In accordance with another aspect of the present invention there is provided a doll comprising:
a body having a head with at least one eye, said eye comprising a pivotal eye ball means pivotally retained in casing means; first arm means extending from a main portion of said eye ball means; solenoid means having a movable solenoid bolt and second arm means movable by said solenoid bolt, said second arm means connected to pivotal rod means; resilient means provided to bias said rod means and said second arm in a first direction, and retain said solenoid bolt in a first position, wherein said eye ball means is pivotable between first and second positions simulating a closed and open eye, respectively, and said solenoid bolt is movable between said first position and a second position, such that when said doll is in a substantially horizontal position and said solenoid bolt moves from said first position to said second position, said second arm means moves to cause said eye ball means to pivot from said first position to said second position.
