  • Patent number: 5083965
    Abstract: An interactive doll system incorporates both liquid handling elements for receiving liquid through the mouth of the doll when the doll is in a first range of positions, then dispensing that liquid through the eyes of the doll when the doll is in a second range of positions or through an anal opening of the doll when the doll is in a third range of positions. It also incorporates an electronic assembly for sensing the attitude and motion of the doll, as well as feeding of the doll, and for producing a range of sounds in response thereto, including sounds produced randomly at times in response to motion of the doll.

  • Patent number: 4878870
    Abstract: The present invention is related to a doll, standing on its hands and knees, in an all-fours position, having inside it a battery-fed mechanism, which, by means of a cam-connecting rod combination, makes the doll advance on the ground and temporarily extends its hands frontwards in a headlong-falling attitude, at the same time as it connects a sound mechanism that reproduces a baby's weeping, going back to the initial all-fours position in order to develop the complete cycle of the mechanism.
