ABSTRACT:
A gravity-operated electric switch in a figure toy. The switch has a stationary part mounted at the doll periphery, for example, in the doll's head, and a movable part slidably mounted in the stationary part and having a knob permanently projecting exteriorly of the doll. A pull exerted on the projecting end moves electrical contacts on the slidable and stationary parts together closing the switch and operating an electric device, e.g., an acoustic device, within the doll. Releasing the pull allows gravity to open the switch and merely allowing the doll sit or lie undisturbed keeps the electrical device in "off" condition. Thus if the doll is hung up by the knob the device operates, and if it is removed and laid down, operation ceases.
