Abstract: An artificial eyeball for a doll includes a base fitted in an eye socket of a doll, an eye globe pivotally connected with the base, and a set of electromagnets provided in the base. The set of electromagnets has a first iron core and a second iron core respectively extending in a corresponding first electric coil and a corresponding second electric coil. The eye globe has first and second magnets secured therein and corresponding to a first iron core and a second iron core. As the first magnet is inclined to the second magnet, when the first and second electric coils respectively and alternately have reversed currents passing therethrough, the eyeball of the doll is able to wink naturally.

Abstract: An artificial eye that appears to look back at a plurality of observers simultaneously even while either change position.

Abstract: An animated character having a face unit provided in a support structure upper body portion so as to resemble a singing tree. The face unit includes a face member and mechanism which consists of two pivotable eye elements and a lower lip element each separately driven by an electric motor through a gear and linkage system. A control circuit unit and a speaker are provided in the support structure, so that the eyes and mouth elements of the face unit are moved by the face mechanism in synchronism with singing and/or speaking sounds produced by the control circuit system and speaker mounted in the support structure.

Abstract: A toy eye includes an eye ball rotatably received in the housing and a spring for biasing against the eye ball and for positioning the eye ball in place. The eye ball includes a hole formed in the rear end for engaging with a pin which is secured on a disc. A flexible wire has one end secured to the disc and has the other end secured to a motor for allowing the motor to rotate the wire and the disc and for allowing the pin to rotate the eye ball.

Abstract: A doll constructed with a body having a head with at least one eye comprising a pivotal eye ball assembly pivotally retained in a casing. A first arm extends from a main portion of the eye ball assembly and a solenoid with a movable solenoid bolt and a second arm and mechanical assembly movable by the solenoid bolt pivots the eye ball between first and second positions simulating a closed and open eye. The solenoid bolt is moveable between a first position and a second position, so that when the doll is in a substantially horizontal position the solenoid bolt moves from a first position to a second position moving the second arm to cause the eye ball to pivot from the first position to the second position. This is accomplished when a receiver in the doll no longer receives a signal transmitted from a transmitter carried by the child. The doll appears to awaken when the child leaves the room.

Abstract: A mechanism for animating a doll's jaw, eyes and eyelids. A single motor powers all three movements. The eyes and jaw are connected to the motor such that they continually move while the motor is in operation, while the eylids are connected to the motor such that reversal of the direction of rotation of the motor causes the eyelids to blink once. All movements are therefore controlled by controlling the speed and direction of rotation of the motor. Thus, movement of the jaw can be synchronized with a sound track, the eyes move in an apparently random path, and the eyelids blink at random intervals independent of the other facial features' position or movements.

Abstract: A system for regulating the movement of a model to simulate mimetic functions is disclosed. The system comprises at least one servo mechanism disposed within an interior surface of the model. The servo mechanism is connected to an interior surface of the model such that the surface moves in response to movement of the servo to stimulate mimetic movements. A power supply is connected to the servos and operative to facilitate movement of the servos in response to control signals. At least one control mechanism is connected to the servos and operative to generate control signals responsive to the desired mimetic movement to be implemented. A recording device is connectable to the control mechanism and to the servos. The recording device is operative in a first mode to receive and store the control signals from the control mechanism, and in a second mode to communicate the stored signals to the model. The stored signals are effective to regulate movement of the servos to stimulate mimetic movement.

Abstract: An eye insert (15) is disclosed and claimed for a taxidermy form (10) having eye sockets (11). An eye insert (15) is positioned within each eye socket (11) and cooperates to automatically align eye insert (15) to an anatomically correct position and appearance. Eye insert (15) includes an artificial eyeball (16) and a base (20) into which eyeball (16) is adapted to be partitially set. Base (20) is configured to be positioned within eye socket (11) and fixed against substantial adjustment. Alignment means are carried by base (20) and eye socket (11) for positioning base (20) in a pre-determined alignment in eye socket (11) within a narrow range of adjustment.
