Gas-filled resilient doll with movable head and limbs

摘要

A gass-filled doll having articulated limb joints in which each of the individual torso and limb members is made up of a soft gas impervious skin filled with gas under superatmospheric pressure and the skin of each of which limb members at a limb joint location is formed with a recess for receiving a joint-forming element and in which each skin recess of the limb members is formed with an opening for admitting air to the member and for receiving a sealing element over which the joint forming element is secured after the member has been pressurized. In one embodiment of the invention the member is cooled with the skin recess open, a plug is cemented in the opening while the member is cool, the member is allowed to come to room temperature and the joint forming element is cemented in place over the plug. Alternatively, each of the recess openings may be provided with a self-sealing plug through which gas under pressure may be supplied by means of a needle, thus doing away with the necessity for cooling the member.
