Abstract

A doll and an eye assembly, intended for use in a doll, wherein the assembly comprises a combined representational eyeball and eyelid movable mounted relative to a carrier or retainer, and weighted, in such a way as to tend to occupy a first positional relationship with the carrier or retainer (such as "open") in one attitude of the assembly to the horizontal but to occupy a second positional relationship with said carrier or retainer (such as "closed") in a different attitude of the assembly to the horizontal. The assembly also includes a fluid pressure actuable control operable to displace the combined eyeball and eyelid from said first "open" positional relationship to said second "closed" positional relationship. The assembly still further includes fluid pressure initiating mechanism such as an air bladder spaced from the combined eyeball and eyelid as in a hand of the doll and operatively associated with the control in such a way as to be selectively manually operable as by squeezing the hand to cause the control to effect such displacement when the assembly is in said one attitude to the horizontal. The doll may be operable to " blink" both eyes shut or to "wink" one eye shut.
