3 ,Claims. (01. 46-141) The object of the present inventionisi to provide I a doll having articulated arms in conjunction with a liquid container held by a hand carried by one arm and means by which upon raising of the said arm to that position normally reached by a child in drinking from a glass-or thelike, the liquid will be caused to flow from the glass, to simulate the consumption of the liquid in a normal manner by the doll figure. In the embodiment shown the liquid may initially be poured into a second container in the form of a little pitcher carried by the hand of a second arm, which arm may be turned to move the pitcher into pouring position relatively to the glass held by the hand of the second arm. Furthermore, in the embodiment shown, the raising of that, arm which holds the glass, so that it is brought to drinking position, automatically effects flow of the liquid from the glass back into the pitcher, whereas the means of fluid communication between the Figure 9 is a, fragmentary section taken on the line'99,Fig. 8. Q g r In the drawingstwoio'r'ms of 'the device are shown. In the figures preceding Figures 8 and, 9 the arm members are disconnected-whereas in '"the 1 modification of. the latter two figures, the

pitcherand the glass is entirely concealed, and

in one form of the inventionbothof the said two containers may readily be removed from the hands of the doll. v

The invention will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings, in which:

Fig. 1 is a view in elevation, partly in dotted lines, showing a doll embodying the invention, the right-hand arm holding a fluid-containing pitcher, and the left-hand arm holding a drink ing glass; v

Fig. 2 is a view similar to Fig. 1, the hand holding thepitcher having been rotated into register with the drinking glass and the liquid having been passed into the latter by flow from the pitcher into the top of the glass;

Fig. 3 is a view similar to the preceding figures, the left-hand arm having been raised to bring the rim of the drinking glass close to the mouth area of the doll head, the tubing connection between the two containers (the tubing being shown in dotted lines) forming a duct by which the fluid is passed back into the pitcher;

Fig. 4 is an enlarged elevation, partly broken away, showing the body and arms, also hands, of

the doll, with the left arm raised into position.

for drinking;

Figure 5 is a detail View, partly in section, showing the spring-engaged joint elements for the arms and body separated in' their positions for connection; Y

arms are providedwith upper'and' inwardly directed extensions which are interfitting.v

The invention will now be described.

'Referring to Figures 1,- therein a doll having abody numbered I, a head 2, a right-hand arm 3, a left-hand arm 4, and leg members'ti. The right-hand arm holds a container 6, in the form of a pitcher, and the left-hand arm holds drinking glass 1'.

and the righthand attached to-its' arm may be given rotational movement. The two containers are connected for-flow of liquid by flexible tubing it will be seen that eacharm socket of the body nieinber has mounted therein aring-shaped member 9, adapted for connection withasecond ringshaped member ID, carried by the appropriate arm. A rivet, which is hollow, as shown more clearly in Figure 5, at "II, is'passed through the apertures IOX and SXof the ring-shaped members and is headed ov'erffor rotationally connect-' ing the two, preceding which'the ends of a coiled spring I2, are insertedin the apertures I3, of the ring-shaped members; Member 9 is cemented in its appropriate socket of the'b'ody member, and member ID is'prefer'ably' formed with an'annular at'IIJXX to'receive'the upper cylindrical margin of the appropriate arm, which margin is cementedinposition; T I

Extending from-"side tt0"side Within the body member and passing through the "hollow rivets I I, is 'a flexible tubing I4; An end section of the tubingpasses through th left-hand arm and its open end is ex'posed'by an opening at I4X in the Figure 6 is a view, partly brokenaway along the line 6-6, Fig. 4, showing the lower end of an arm and the rotatable connection between the hand and arm; V v I Figure '7 is a perspective view of the detachable drinkin glass;
