Having End-mounted Axle, Or Relatively Pivoted Or Sliding Anchoring Portions Patents (Class 446/348)
  • Patent number: 8298037
    Abstract: A toy eye includes a casing having a transparent top portion, a lens defining a through hole, and a pupil received in through hole of the lens. The lens and the pupil are both made of soft resilient material, and clung to the transparent top portion of the casing. The toy eye also includes a push-pull element for pushing the pupil towards the transparent top portion of the casing or pulling the pupil reversely. The toy eye further includes a light processing element for sensing the change of the outside light intensity and generating a driving signal when the value of the change of the light intensity reaches or exceeds a predetermined value, and a driving element for driving the push-pull element to push or pull the pupil, upon receiving the driving signal from the light processing element.

  • Patent number: 7025655
    Abstract: A dynamic eye simulation mechanism in which an eye orb having a spherical surface has one area of that surface of a color simulating an eyelid and another area having a representation of an eye iris and surrounding sclera applied thereto wherein the orb is mounted for rotation relative to an eye aperture to simulate an eyelid closing and an eyelid blinking.

  • Patent number: 6042450
    Abstract: A doll with simulated physiological functions, in particular a toy doll in the form of a teddy bear, is described. The teddy bear has a head with eyes that can move and a mouth that opens and closes. A lower jaw pivots about a first axis to provide the opening and closing action of the mouth. A mechanical linkage means is provided to transmit a movement of the lower jaw to another part of the doll, for example to the eyes, whereby opening and/or closing of the mouth, for example when feeding the teddy bear, can produce a simulated physiological response from the doll, for example a responsive eye movement. The mechanical linkage means also actuates a sound generating means. The arrangement of the mechanical linkage means is such that there is a degree of unpredictability in the simulated physiological functions which enhances the long term play value of the doll and increases the enjoyment of a child. Incorporating other simulated physiological functions further enhances the play value of the teddy bear.

  • Patent number: 4737132
    Abstract: The invention relates to an eyeball device which can be incorporated as eyes in stuffed toys and dolls. The eyeball device comprises an eyeball-holding assembly which movably holds the eyeball and the pupil of the eye, and a pair of inner and outer members for attaching the eyeball-holding assembly to surrounding portions of eyes of the dolls. The attaching members are fitted to each other so as to bite and hold therebetween the cloth or the surface skin of a doll or the like. The attaching members further have a space for incorporating the eyeball-holding assembly from the outside.

  • Patent number: 4575347
    Abstract: A toy music box having eyes which are oscillated back and forth for which distance between the eyes can be varied to make the device usable with different casings. A control plate which effects oscillatory movement of the eyes is provided with first and second pairs of engaging pins on one surface thereof, with the distance between the engaging pins corresponding to two possible distances between the eyes for two different casings. The orientation of the control plate is chosen so that the appropriate pair of engaging pins is engaged with the corresponding eyes for the respective eye spacing.
