Abstract: A movable eye for toys, dolls, and the like, has an eye component which is pivoted in an eye enclosure for motion between an open and a closed position. An actuator arm engages external surface portions of the eye component for imparting closing an opening motions thereto and for holding the eye component in closed and open positions. The actuator can be manually or mechanically actuated.

Abstract: A plastic eye having an appearance closely resembling a glass-blown eye is formed of two generally spherical halves, secured together by solvent or cement at confronting flanges. The spherical halves are formed of clear glass or plastic and the front half is a hollow molding having an internal planar surface. The various eye components are pad printed on the planar surface and then the interior of the shell is given a white coating. Slots can be provided in the front spherical shell wherein an artificial eyelash may be received. A forward central projection on the front half better simulates the cornea of a real eye.
