ABSTRACT:
A squeezable plaything which simulates a miniature dinosaur figure and when squeezed and released, then generates gurgling sounds suggestive of dinosaur activity. The plaything comprises a generally spherical outer shell formed of flexible transparent plastic film encasing a hollow inner core having an orifice which renders it collapsible. The hollow core is molded of resilient plastic material contoured to simulate a dinosaur in a fetal position assuming an overall ovoid form that fits into the spherical shell. Injected into the air-filled core through the orifice is a charge of oil. When the ball is squeezed and deformed, oil and air are then discharged from the orifice into the confined spaces between the core and shell, and when the ball is then released to recover its normal shape, oil and air are then sucked back into the core, these actions producing the gurgling sounds.
