Abstract:
A simple doll stand for the rapid mounting and removal of a doll, which holds a doll in a natural manner and which enables a child to easily rock the doll to make it shake in dance-like movements. The stand includes a disc-like base with ribs extending from a lower face to rockingly support the base on a flat surface. A pair of tubular foot-holders extend from the upper face of the base, each tubular holder having a slot along the front so that a doll''s leg can be held within the slotted tube with the foot of the doll protruding through the slot. The tubular foot-holders are detachable and can be mounted to extend from the same side of the base as the ribs, so that the stand does not rock.
Abstract:
A toy telephone with a spring-powered phonograph in the telephone base that is operated by a drawstring. The drawstring is attached to the telephone handset, in the manner of a telephone cord, so that the phonograph is operated by pulling the handset away from the base and then releasing it. The drawstring is long enough to allow a child to hold the handset to his ear even when the drawstring is fully rewound into the telephone base.

THE DOLL INCLUDES A ROTATABLY SHAFT WHICH IS MOVABLE ALONG ITS AXIS OF ROTATION FROM A NEUTRAL POSITION TO AN UPWARD POSITION IN WHICH THE SHAFT ENGAGES A CRANKSHAFT ASSEMBLY TO CAUSE THE DOLL''S LEGS TO MOVE WITH RESPECT TO THE DOLL''S TORSO TO PRODUCE A STEPPING MOTION. THE ROTATABLE SHAFT IS ALSO MOVABLE TO A DOWNWARD POSITION IN WHICH THE SHAFT DRIVINGLY ENGAGES A FLOOR-CONTACTING MEMBER WHICH IS INHIBITED FROM ROTATING THEREBY CAUSING THE DRIVE TRAIN AND THE MOTOR''S HOUSING, WHICH IS CONNECTED TO THE DOLL''S TORSO, TO ROTATE AND TO ROTATE THE TORSO THEREWITH . THE DOLL''S HEAD IS COUPLED TO THE TORSO WITH A TORSION SPRING, WHICH FORMS PART OF A HEAD-SPOTTING ASSEMBLY. THE LATTER IS USED TO INHIBIT THE ROTATION OF THE HEATED DURING A FIXED PRESELECTED PORTION OF EACH REVOLUTION OF THE DOLL''S TORSO.
