  • Patent number: 4955844
    Abstract: A doll having bendable knees is capable of moving between a standing position and a sitting position. The doll has a pair of arm members pivotally connected to a torso at the shoulder and a pair of leg members pivotally connected to the torso at the hip and each leg member has an upper member and a lower leg member joined thereto at the knee. The upper and lower leg members are movable relative to one another about the knee joint. The arm members are connected to the leg members inside the torso by cables. In the standing position, the arms and legs are positioned generally vertical relative to the torso. Moving one arm member from the vertical position to raised position generally perpendicular to the torso causes simultaneous movement of the upper leg members between the standing position and a sitting position with the upper leg members aligned generally perpendicular to the torso.
