  • Patent number: 5201683
    Abstract: The doll of the invention incorporates a mechanism and electric circuit that, originating from a general activation motor which moves a series of engagements, brings about a correlative series of movements which cause the doll to crawl and give out a message and, subsequently, to stop crawling and raise the trunk of its body and head, to turn its head and give out a new message. These movements are based on the eccentric operating several elements related to the arms, legs and head. Likewise, the emission of the messages is based on parts which are independent but combined electrically and mechanically with the general mechanism in order that, altogether, they achieve a succession of movements which are repeated constantly until a general switch is activated by means of, for example, a dummy, or by means of a ball switch activated automatically when the doll is picked up and put upright.

  • Patent number: 4584630
    Abstract: A mounting spacer (16) for use in an electrolytic capacitor (10) having a capacitance section (14) and a tubular casing (12), which locates and restrains the capacitance section within the casing. The mounting spacer (16) is a flexible plastic sheet which when folded fits inside and bears against the tubular casing (12). The spacer has a base section (34) with at least two living hinges (30, 32); the living hinges connect the base section to wedge sections (40, 42) and support arms (36, 38). The support arms have cutout sections (44,46) formed by the pivoting of wedge sections (40,42) which receive and longitudinally support the capacitance section during assembly of the capacitor. The support arms flex after insertion to partially wrap around and laterally support the capacitance section while maintaining contact with the casing. After assembly, the wedge sections are resiliently held in contact with the tubular casing by the resilient base section (34) to center the spacer.
