Definitions

  • the present invention relates, in general, to dolls, and, more particularly, to an ordering and manufacturing system for manufacturing doll heads that have realistic faces closely matching those of particular children.
  • Dolls have been in existence for time immemorial. At one end of the spectrum are those unique dolls that are so highly crafted, typically with ceramic heads, that they are truly sculpted and painted to be lifelike and corresponding to a particular human's image. Such dolls can range in price from several hundred dollars to several thousand dollars. Each doll is an individual work of art. At the other end of the spectrum are the mass- produced dolls having a typical and perhaps generic doll face usually made of a vinyl or plastic material. Such mass-manufactured dolls are inexpensive, usually costing well less than one hundred dollars.
  • U.S. Patent 5,009,626 issued to Katz is a computerized process of creating a three-dimensional lifelike representation of the head portion of a person on a doll.
  • a video image of the head of a person is sent to a computer, which digitizes the image and conforms it to a three-dimensional substrate structure that matches the head ofthe subject.
  • the image ofthe person's head is printed on a flexible sheet fabric material in the form of a "azimuthal-type group of connected sector photographic projections.” This is illustrated in Figures 2-4 showing the printouts of the flat photographic imagery derived from a photograph and transformed into a printout image for fixation to the doll's head.
  • the imprinted flexible material is then applied to the three- dimensional substrate substance.
  • U.S. Patent 5,314,370 issued to Flint also provides a process for producing a doll having the face of a person.
  • the '370 patent provides a doll having a head with a three-dimensional facial area, posing a person in front of a color video camera, aligning the person's face in the camera with lateral and up and down boundary markers, transferring the signal from the camera to a color transfer printer using a wax layer to transfer the representation ofthe face onto a layer of fabric, and trirnming and securing the fabric to the facial area of the doll. Again, this represents a precise approach.
  • U.S. Patents 4,648,188 and 4,659,319 issued to Blair provide a system for producing three-dimensional sculptures using a photograph or picture as a guide.
  • the method discloses the steps of providing a photograph, removing the backing from the photograph, producing a picture of the photograph on a pliable film, mounting the pliable film onto a pliable mass of material, manipulating the pliable mass through the picture of the photograph that is on the pliable film, subjecting the manipulated sculpture mass to a hardening process, placing the photograph with the backing removed into plastic by a lamination process, and placing the hardened material into a "Vacu-form" machine so as to place the laminated photograph onto the sculpture.
  • U.S. Patent 5,004,442 issued to Lemelson et al. pertains to a series of dolls representing various ages of the same person.
  • the head is shaped, configured, and decorated to represent the same living being at different ages.
  • At least three commercially available products provide a doll bearing a resemblance to a child.
  • the American Girls Collection offers 20 separate pre-manufactured dolls of varying skin tone, hair color, and eye color, and hair styles.
  • the American Girl dolls are mass or pre- manufactured in large quantities for inventory and retail sales.
  • Each face in the collection of 20 dolls has the same basic shape, with 3 of the 20 dolls having different-shaped eyes and noses based on racial characteristics. The choice is limited to the 20 pre-manufactured dolls displayed. The consumer looks at photographs ofthe 20 dolls and selects the one with coloring closest to that of their child.
  • a second commercially available product is BABY SO BEAUTIFUL, manufactured by Playmates. These dolls are also mass or pre-manufactured in large quantities for inventory and retail sales.
  • a television commercial shows a range of 12 to 16 pre-manufactured dolls in which the skin tone, eye color, and hair color and style vary; however, the faces ofthe dolls appear to be identical.
  • a more customized approach to matching the features and characteristics of a doll head to a child is obtained.
  • the consumer selects from seven different eye colors, four different skin colors, and ten different hair colors to produce a doll head more closely matching the hair color, hair style, eye color, and skin color of the child, even including the addition of freckles.
  • a photograph of the child is also provided to enable an artist to individually add features to the doll head to more closely match the doll head to the child.
  • the MY TWINN doll as with the American Girl doll and the Baby So Beautiful doll, also uses a single doll head that has been modified to have Caucasian, African-American, or Oriental nose, eye, and lip features.
  • the present invention solves the above-stated problem by providing a "one-of-a-kind" doll head that is custom-made to look just like the face of a particular child.
  • the doll head is pre-manufactured, every doll head of the present invention is further hand crafted using ten facial characteristics to match the child's face shape, hair color, hair style, eyes, skin tone, etc., as described below.
  • This combination of preproduction and hand crafting provides a doll head that is custom produced to match a particular child at a reasonable cost, in contrast to the American Girl and Baby So Beautiful dolls, in which large quantities of nearly identical dolls are mass produced in large quantities.
  • the customer using the ten facial characteristics, chooses from a predetermined number of face shapes, skin tones, eye colors, eyelash colors, eyebrow thicknesses, shapes, and colors, and hair colors, cuts, styles, and lengths those characteristics that most closely match the child's features.
  • seven basic face shapes are utilized to provide a more realistic appearance. These shapes comprise rounded, oval, pear, rectangular, thinner rectangular, thinner heart, and wider heart face shapes.
  • a doll head having the particular face shape chosen is obtained.
  • the other characteristic features chosen are then attached or applied to the doll head.
  • a doll head is constructed that more closely resembles the child's face than has previously been achievable, and at a more affordable cost than previous for such a unique doll.
  • the present invention provides a doll head that has the facial appearance of a particular child.
  • the customer using ten facial characteristics set forth in a chart, selects those most closely resembling the facial appearance of the child. Further details are provided by a color picture of the child.
  • the selected characteristics are then applied to the doll head to produce a one-of-a-kind doll closely resembling the child.
  • the customer first selects a face shape from seven predetermined face shapes comprising rounded, oval, pear, rectangular, thinner rectangular, thinner heart, and wider heart shapes.
  • the customer provides a representative photograph or photographs of the child, from which the appropriate face shape is determined by the manufacturer.
  • These seven shapes were empirically determined to be the minimum set of representative face shapes for 95 percent of children in the 3- to 12-year-old range, irregardless of race.
  • the doll heads have different facial features, for example, noses are longer or shorter or narrower or wider, and/or eyes are narrow set or wide set.
  • the customer further selects a skin tone from among five skin tones, an eye color from among fourteen eye colors, an eyelash color from among four eyelash colors, an eyebrow color from among eight eyebrow colors, an eyebrow thickness from among three eyebrow thicknesses, an eyebrow shape from among four eyebrow shapes, a hair color from among thirteen hair colors, a haircut from among three haircuts, a hair length from among six hair lengths, and a hair style from among nineteen hair styles.
  • the customer indicates on a series of face views of a generic child any birthmarks, moles, and/or freckles that the particular child has.
  • a doll head is selected that corresponds to the facial shape and skin tone chosen. This doll head is selected from an inventory of different doll heads having the seven predetermined facial shapes.
  • the selected eyes, eyelashes, eyebrows, hair, and birthmarks, moles, and/or freckles are attached to or painted on the doll head. Any further details necessary are determined from the picture of the child. Thus, a one-of-a-kind doll is produced that closely resembles a particular child but can be made at a reasonable cost to the consumer.
  • Figures la through lg are schematic representations of various face shapes, with Fig. la being rounded, Fig. lb being oval, Fig. lc being pear- shaped, Fig. ld being rectangular, Fig. le being thinner rectangular, Fig. lf being thinner heart-shaped, and Fig. lg being wider heart-shaped.
  • Figures 2a through 2c are schematic representations of various eyebrow shapes, with Fig. 2a being straight, Fig. 2b being slightly arched, and Fig. 2c being arched.
  • Figures 3a through 3f illustrate various hair lengths, with Fig. 3a being ear length, Fig. 3b being chin length, Fig. 3c being shoulder length, Fig. 3d being high back length, Fig. 3e being midback length, and Fig. 3f being lower back length.

  • the present invention provides a one-of-a-kind doll head that corresponds in appearance to the facial appearance of a particular child.
  • Such doll heads can, of course, be made by an artist who sculpts the face of each doll to be identical to the face of the child.
  • a hand-made doll may well cost into the hundreds or thousands of dollars to obtain, depending on the reputation of the artist. This cost is prohibitive for the average parents (grandparents) who desire to have a doll or dolls similar in appearance to their child or children (grandchildren).
  • the present invention sets forth a system and method for producing doll heads having the realistic, hand-crafted facial appearance of particular children at a reasonable cost.
  • the facial appearance of the doll head of the preferred embodiment is based on two forms of input: a picture or pictures of the face of a child and the completion of a ten-point facial characteristic chart.

  • the ten-point facial characteristic chart provides the customer with ten broad categories of facial characteristics, that is, face shape, skin tone, eye color, eyelash color, eyebrow color, eyebrow thickness and shape, hair color, hair cut, hair length, hair style, and birthmarks/moles/freckles. Each category is further broken down into a predetermined number of, for example, skin tones or eyebrow colors.
  • the combinations chosen by the customer are used to manufacture a doll head having an appearance closely resembling the facial appearance of the particular child.
