ABSTRACT:
A doll having bendable knees is capable of moving between a standing position and a sitting position. The doll has a pair of arm members pivotally connected to a torso at the shoulder and a pair of leg members pivotally connected to the torso at the hip and each leg member has an upper member and a lower leg member joined thereto at the knee. The upper and lower leg members are movable relative to one another about the knee joint. The arm members are connected to the leg members inside the torso by cables. In the standing position, the arms and legs are positioned generally vertical relative to the torso. Moving one arm member from the vertical position to raised position generally perpendicular to the torso causes simultaneous movement of the upper leg members between the standing position and a sitting position with the upper leg members aligned generally perpendicular to the torso. The lower leg may be allowed to remain in a generally vertical position and to be moved upwardly as the upper leg member is pivotally moved about the hip region to simulate bending at the knees. The lower leg member may also be held or fixed in a generally vertical position such that the pivotal force applied to the upper leg member at the hip region is transferred to the knee joint to cause the upper leg member to be pivoted downward relative to the lower leg member about the knee joint and carry the torso downwardly therewith to simulate bending at the knees and the doll will assume a sitting position as the torso is carried down.
