Patent number: 8298037Abstract: 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.Type: GrantFiled: July 15, 2009Date of Patent: October 30, 2012Assignees: Hong Fu Jin Precision Industry (ShenZhen) Co., Ltd., Hon Hai Precision Industry Co., Ltd.Inventor: Kim-Yeung Sip

Patent number: 8007340Abstract: An artificial eye structure rotates an artificial upper eyelid via the attraction between a number of electromagnetic elements disposed in a line and a magnet. The rotation angle of the artificial upper eyelid can be controlled by selectively magnetizing the electromagnetic elements.Type: GrantFiled: June 25, 2009Date of Patent: August 30, 2011Assignees: Hong Fu Jin Precision Industry (ShenZhen) Co., Ltd., Hon Hai Precision Industry Co., Ltd.Inventor: Kim-Yeung Sip

Patent number: 6042450Abstract: 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.Type: GrantFiled: May 19, 1997Date of Patent: March 28, 2000Assignee: Toy Concepts Pty. Ltd.Inventors: John Malcolm Leversedge, Victor Manuel Pracas

Patent number: 4737132Abstract: 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.Type: GrantFiled: February 24, 1986Date of Patent: April 12, 1988Assignee: Ace Premium Co., Ltd.Inventor: Ohta Shunsaku

Patent number: 4575347Abstract: 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.Type: GrantFiled: March 19, 1984Date of Patent: March 11, 1986Assignee: Kabushiki Kaisha Sankyo Seiki SeisakushoInventor: Yoshio Kitamura
