Definitions

  • dolls have been prevalent in the toy arts from the earliest recorded history. Initially, dolls were fabricated in a relatively rudimentary fashion to provide inert human child or human figures. As the toy arts and related technologies progressed, the sophistication of dolls increased dramatically. Thus, dolls have been provided which mimic most of human experience such as walking, talking, eating, crying, laughing, moving and the like. In many environments, dolls are situated upon a supporting base and are held upright in a display situation rather than a handheld play pattern. For example, US Patent 6,579,143 issued to Rehkemper et al.

  • This position signal is coupled to radio frequency transmitter 36 which in turn outputs the correct position signal and transmits it to be received by receiver 52.
  • Motor control and RF receiver 52 then decodes the position signal and energizes either or both of motors 40 or 50.
  • Motors 40 or 50 when energized operate mechanically to move either arm 22 or leg 13 (seen in Figure 1) of doll 10 or, alternatively, move both simultaneously.
  • motor 50 is energized, it is operative through base drive 51 to rotate shaft 17 (seen in Figure 1) which in turn rotates doll 10 upon base 16 (also seen in Figure 1).
  • ankle controller 30 senses the motion of leg 13 and produces corresponding position signals which are indicative of the position of leg 13 (seen in Figure 1). These position signals are coupled to radio frequency transmitter 31 which in turn transmits a position signal to motor control and radio frequency receiver 52. Within motor control and radio frequency receiver 52, the position signals received from transmitter 31 are decoded resulting in further communication to motors 40 and/or 50. Motors 40 or 50 operate as described above when activated to produce corresponding limb motion of doll 10.
  • the combinations of position signals received and decoded cause activation of the motor drive units to move the entire doll in rotation upon the base and/or one or more of the doll's motor driven limbs.
  • the result is a realistic dancing figure that operates in a variety of motion sequences to simulate a dancing figure.
