Abstract: A squeeze toy of air-filled elastomer material including a whistle, and a method and apparatus for forming the same. A small cavity or depression is molded into the body of the toy to form the whistle site. A small cap, which may comprise a flat or slightly rounded disk, or a small hollow cylinder, closes the small cavity or depression forming the whistle site. A pair of small openings are formed in centered, aligned relation in the cap and in the bottom of the cavity, completing the whistle. The body of the toy is preferably formed by blow molding techniques, using the opening in the bottom of the cavity corresponding to the whistle hole to blow air in during the molding process, and to blow the finished part out of the mold. The whistle cap may either be made simultaneously with the body, by blow molding, or by separate injection molding techniques.

Abstract: A hollow doll in which the doll's head is formed of elastomer material, and is blow molded to include a downwardly extended annular lip having a semicircular groove at the front of the neck. The lip is constructed to fold inwardly, and to engage a bead or flange on the neck portion of the body, thereby securing the head to the body. It is contemplated, in accordance with the present invention, that other appendages can be secured to a primary body in a similar manner.
