  • Patent number: 5382186
    Abstract: A plurality of simulated toy teeth and method for making are described for use with toys including toy stuffed animals and toy dolls. The teeth include a flexible tubular casing that is expanded by placing a fill material therein. The ends of the casing are sealed to contain the fill material. At least one constrictive band is placed around at least a portion of the casing which compresses both the casing and the fill material therein thereby reducing the overall circumference of the casing underneath the band. The visual effect is to provide a plurality of teeth, one of each of the teeth being disposed on either side of each constrictive band. The flexible casing is curved as desired to accommodate the shape of the toy and is then attached as desired to the toy.
