ABSTRACT:
The eye assembly includes two eyeball units, a socket unit for each eyeball unit and a holder unit that grips the shanks of the two socket units. The eyeball unit in each instance includes a lens having a rib extending peripherally therearound and printed artwork on its somewhat curved rearwardly facing surface providing a pupil and iris, the iris having outwardly diverging lines thereon. The lens has a curved forwardly facing surface so that a simulated eye movement is provided as a result of the refraction and magnification that occur where there is relative movement between the child and doll having the eye assembly incorporated therein. Each of the socket units includes a rearwardly projecting shank and the holder unit includes a plurality of resilient fingers that engage one of several annular ribs formed on the shank of each socket unit. The eye unit and socket unit are preassembled so that when the holder unit is placed against the inner surface of the doll's head during assembly, then all that the assembler need do is to push the shanks through holes provided in the material constituting the doll's skin, the shanks then being held by the resilient fingers of the holder unit.
