Claims
- 1. In a doll, the combination comprising:
- an upper torso member having a neck opening;
- a lower torso member;
- a torso coupling member integral with one of said torso members, said torso coupling member having an aperture extending axially therethrough;
- an opening in the other of said torso members for rotatably receiving said torso coupling member for enabling said torso members to be rotated relative to each other;
- a shaft member extending longitudinally through said aperture;
- a first leg member secured to said lower torso member for pivotal movement relative thereto about a side-to-side axis;
- means within said lower torso member operatively connected to rotate said shaft member about its longitudinal axis in response to pivotal movement of said first leg member;
- a head supporting member rotatably mounted in said upper torso member in said neck opening, said head supporting member having means thereon in operative engagement with said shaft member for rotatable movement of said head supporting member in response to pivotal movement of said first leg member; and
- a second leg member hingedly coupled to said lower torso member about a fore-to-aft axis for providing angular displacement between said second leg member and the longitudinal center line of the so-connected torso members, whereby the relative displacement between said first and second leg members in mutually perpendicular directions can result in tilting the torso members relative to said second leg member and rotating said head supporting member in response to pivotal movement of said first leg member.
- 2. The combination according to claim 1 wherein said shaft member includes a first gear portion within said upper torso member and a second gear portion within said lower member; said head supporting member includes a gear portion in meshing engagement with said first gear portion; and said means within said lower torso member includes a gear member coupled to said first leg member and in meshing engagement with said second gear portion.
- 3. The combination according to claim 2 wherein said second leg member coupling includes stop means for limiting the angular displacement thereof.
