Definitions

  • This invention relates generally to dolls and toy figures and particularly to those utilizing speech or vocalizing apparatus.
  • vocalizing dolls provided a substantial increase in the entertainment and amusement value as well as the realism found in toy figures and dolls. While a substantial variety of vocalizing dolls and toy figures have been developed by practitioners in the art, the most common of such dolls and toy figures include an internal vocalizing or speech apparatus operative within an electronic circuit and usually hidden within the doll or toy figure. In addition, many such dolls or toy figures provide one or more activating switches for controlling the vocalizing apparatus. A further refinement of such dolls and toy figures provides vocalizing which is responsive to play interaction with the child user such as appendage articulation, figure movement, or squeezing pressure at various points on the doll's body. In such refined dolls or toy figures, the production as well as the selection to be vocalized is influenced or controlled by the particular activated mechanism which is utilized.
  • U.S. Patent 5,011,449 issued to Handy, et al. sets forth an APPENDAGE MOTION RESPONSIVE DOLL having a torso portion and outwardly extending leg and arm appendages together with a neck and head.
  • the arm appendages are pivotally secured to the torso to permit motion and are fabricated in a manner permitting bending or flexing thereof.
  • a speech circuit supported within the doll torso produces sound output in response to flexing or bending of the arm appendages.
  • U.S. Patent 4,179,842 issued to Fauls sets forth an AUDIBLE SOUND EMITTING TOY having a doll capable of alternately emitting one of a plurality of different audible sounds in response to the orientation of the doll.
  • the sound system utilizes a pivotal weight and switch mechanism for sensing the orientation or position of the doll.
  • U.S. Patent 4,263,742 issued to Terzian sets forth an ANIMATED DOLL having a hollow head and body together with a face defining a mouth opening.
  • the mouth opening includes a pair of lips on opposite edges thereof and a movable tongue extends outwardly through the mouth opening between the lips.
  • a mechanism is provided for moving the tongue between the lips to provide a particular amusing action for the doll.
  • U.S. Patent 4,696,653 issued to McKeefery sets forth a SPEAKING TOY DOLL which responds with spoken words and/or sentences to the touching of selected portions of the doll by the user.
  • Specific areas of doll such as eyes, ears, nose, etc. are provided with touch switches which selectively activate the speech system within the doll to cause corresponding words to be spoken.
  • U.S. Patent 5,281,180 issued to Lamb, et al. sets forth a TOY DOLL HAVING SOUND GENERATOR WITH OPTICAL SENSOR AND PRESSURE SWITCHES in which the doll cries or laughs depending upon the manner in which it has been stimulated.
  • An optical sensor fixed in the mouth of the doll and connected to an integrated circuit located in the doll torso responds to light or dark conditions to cause the doll to cry or speak.
  • a pressure-actuated switch positioned within the doll's torso is configured to respond to tickling-type pressure and communicate a differen sound from the sound circuit.
  • U.S. Patent 5,376,038 issued to Arad, et al. sets forth a DOLL WITH PROGRAMMABLE SPEECH ACTIVATED BY PRESSURE ON PARTICULAR PARTS OF HEAD AND BODY having an internal prerecorded speech mechanism responsive to a plurality of pressure sensitive switches located about the doll's body.
  • U.S. Patent 5,695,381 issued to Truchsess sets forth a TOY FIGURE WITH RUMP-ACTUATED SOUND GENERATOR having a sound circuit supported within a doll body and coupled to a pressure sensitive mechanism supported in the doll posterior. Pressure against the doll posterior such as results from bouncing the doll upon the user's lap actuates the sound system.
  • U.S. Patent 5,083,965 issued to Mayem sets forth an INTERACTIVE DOLL SYSTEM which incorporates both liquid handling elements for receiving liquid through the mouth in one position and dispensing that liquid through the eyes when the doll is differently positioned.
  • the doll also discharges liquid through a lower abdominal opening when the doll is positioned in a third position. Sound producing means are included within the doll and respond to doll positioning.
  • U.S. Patent 4,840,602 issued to Rose sets forth a TALKING DOLL RESPONSIVE TO EXTERNAL SIGNAL having a doll which cooperates with a remote signal source to provide narration in which the doll interacts.
  • U.S. Patent 4,271,627 issued to Echterling sets forth a DOLL HIGHCHAIR AND SWING having a support frame and a pivotally coupled swing which in turn supports a doll receiving seat.
  • Fashion dolls typically define sizes of eight to ten inches in height and are very thinly or narrowly bodied leaving very little room inside the doll for electronic circuit components of the type used in speech producing systems.
  • dolls smaller than such fashion dolls are unlikely to be capable of inclusion of speech systems due to the increased cost and compromises of reliability and complexity necessitated in providing electronic speech circuits of even smaller size.
  • dolls smaller than eight or ten inches of a fashion doll configuration are unlikely to be capable of being equipped with sound systems.
  • doll playsets of the fashion doll variety which utilize smaller dolls to depict children and the like are, as a practical matter, not equippable with sound features for the child size dolls. Because such play patterns are desirable, there arises a need in the art for doll playsets in which the small child size dolls may be given a speech capability within the play pattern.
  • a cooperating doll pair comprising: a first doll having a fashion doll appearance including a first doll body having a first doll interior cavity and a first pivotally supported arm; means for producing audible sound supported within the first doll interior cavity responsive to pivotal movement of the first pivotally supported arm to cause audible sound to emanate from the first doll body, the sound being characteristic of sounds uttered by a young child; and a second doll having a child doll appearance and proportionally smaller than the first doll including a second doll body having a second doll interior cavity, the first and second doll cooperating in a play pattern in which the first doll audibilizes child-like sounds in place of the second doll to give the cooperating doll pair a fanciful appearance of an adult playing with a noisy child.
