ATTORNEYS UNITED STATESPATENT OFFICE.
JOSEPH L, KALLUS, OF BBOOKL YN, NEW YORK.
DOLL.
Application filed December 31, 1925. Serial No. 78,614.
The present invention relates to improve ments in the construction of ointed dolls and is particularly concerned with the manner of attaching the legs to the body of the doll.
In accordance with conventional practice the legs of the doll are usually pivoted to the body in such a manner that the legs Wlll tend to assume a diverging relation to each other when the doll is so ated.
Such a construction while offering a suitable support for the doll when the latter is in seated position, is subject to many disadvantages.
In the first place, such a position of the legs is an altogether unnatural and unlife like one. 1
In the second place, dolls so constructed cannot be properly balanced upon one foot in a standing position.
In the third place, the bearing surfaces between the leg joints and the body are not arranged to prevent inward or outward movement of the legs toward or away from each other and consequently do not guard against breakage at the joints caused by such movement.
In accordance withthe present invention I eliminate all of the ab ove noted disadvantages, provide a doll which can readily be balanced upon one foot anda doll in which the legs are positively locked against relative separation or advance. The legs of the doll always assume natural positions whether the figure is seated, standing on one foot or firmly implanted on both feet.
Other objects of the invention are to provide a doll which will be of simple, practical construction which will be rugged and durable in use and which may be manufactured with comparative economy.
lVith the above noted I and other objects in view, the invention conslsts in certaln novel features of construction and combinations and arrangements of parts as Wlll be more fully hereinafter described and set forth 1n the claims.
The invention may be more fully. understood from the following description in con nection with the accompanying drawings,
wherein- Fig. 1 is a perspective view of a doll embodying the invention.
Fig. 2 is an enlarge d vertical sectional View through the lower end of the body of i the doll, the upper ends of the legs being shown in elevation.
vFig. 3 is a fragmentary longitudinal sectional view on the line 3*?) of Fig. 2.
In the drawings, I have used the reference 6 character 10 to designate the body of the doll, the doll including a head 11, arms 12, and legs 13.
The body, head and limbs may be of conventional construction except as to the manner of pivotally attaching the legs to the lower end of the body. This body has been shown of hollow construction but for purposes of the present invention may equally well be made solid except at the lower end.
At opposite sides of the lower end of the body the latter is shaped to define flat bearing surfaces M, for co-action with similar inwardly facing surfaces 15 at the upper ends of the legs. Projecting inwardly from the surfaces 15 are knobs 16 fitting within circular openings 17 in the body. The knobs 16 carry hooks or equivalent securing devices 18 to which the ends of coiled contractile spring 19 are anchored.
The surfaces 15 define the vertical walls of angular cutaway portions at the inside up per ends of the legs, the horizontal walls being indicated at 20 and extending under, the lower end of the doll body.
It will be noted from Figure 3 that the lower end of the bodyis curved on a center coincident with the pivotal center of the.
in all positions of pivotal adjust-ment of the leg.
It will be evident that the surfaces 20 need not beeXactly horizontal. be of tapering shape in which instance the surfaces 21 will be. frustro-conical. The important feature is to have the legs always in contact with the body on two bearing surfaces. V 9
By virtue of the above described construction, the legs'will always be maintained at equal distances from each other laterally regardless of their pivotal adjustment. The approximately right angular relationship of 105 the bearing surfaces 20 and 15 effectively 1 prevents the legs from being moved upwardly or inwardly toward or away from each They may other consequently minimizing the danger of breaking the legs away from the body at the joint.
VJhile I have illustrated a preferred embodiment of the invention various changes and alterations might be made Without departing from the spirit and scope of the appended claims.
I claim:
1. A doll including a body, legs rotatably mounted thereon, said body having flat lateral bearing surfaces at its lower end perpendicular to the axis of rotation of the legs,
the bottom of the body providing curved bearing surfaces adjacent said lateral bear-.
ing surfaces concentric With-said axis of rotation, said legs having complementary fiat and curved bearing surfaces abutting the respective flat and curved bearing surfaces of the body.
2. A doll including a body, legs rotatably mounted thereon, said body having flat lateral bearing surfaces at its lower end perpendicular to the axis of rotation of the legs,
the bottom of the body providing curved bearing surfaces adjacent said lateral bearsurfaces' concentrlc with said axis of rotation, said legs having complementary fiat and curved bearing surfaces abutting the respective flat and curved bearing surfaces of the body, and means for maintaining the leg bearing surfaces in frictional contact with the body bearing surfaces.
