Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 14
Claim 1
Independent Claim
122 words
A hula doll, comprising: a base; a support column which is rotatably connected to and supported by said base; a doll body pivotably connected to said support column, said doll body including a pair of arms which are rotatably connected to said doll body; means for pivotably moving said doll body about a pivot which is supported by said support column, said means for pivotably moving said doll body about said pivot including a linkage arm and means for moving one end of said linkage arm in a generally reciprocatory motion, said linkage arm having another end connected to said body; means for rotating said support column relative to said base; and means for pivoting said arms relative to said doll body.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
122 words
A hula doll, comprising: a base; a support column which is rotatably connected to and supported by said base; a doll body pivotably connected to said support column, said doll body including a pair of arms which are rotatably connected to said doll body; means for pivotably moving said doll body about a pivot which is supported by said support column, said means for pivotably moving said doll body about said pivot including a linkage arm and means for moving one end of said linkage arm in a generally reciprocatory motion, said linkage arm having another end connected to said body; means for rotating said support column relative to said base; and means for pivoting said arms relative to said doll body.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
32 words
A hula doll as claimed in claim 1, wherein said means for rotating said support column comprises a motor for supplying motive power to move said support column relative to said base.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
42 words
A hula doll as claimed in claim 1, wherein said means for moving one end of said linkage arm comprises a pivotably mounted member and a reciprocatory driving means for imparting reciprocatory motion to said pivotably mounted member about its pivot point.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
53 words
A hula doll as claimed in claim 3, wherein said reciprocatory driving means comprises a rotatable body having an eccentrically disposed projection thereon and a linkage body which is rotatably connected at one end to said eccentrically disposed projection, the other end of said linkage body being connected to said pivotably mounted member.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
84 words
A hula doll as claimed in claim 4, wherein at least one of said pair of arms of said doll body has a control arm connected thereto, and further comprising another linkage arm pivotably mounted at one end to said control arm, the other end of said another linkage arm being pivotably connected to said pivotably mounted member, whereby pivoting motion of said pivotably mounted member causes an oscillating motion of said at least one of said pair of arms of said doll body.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
88 words
A hula doll as claimed in claim 1, wherein said means for rotating said support column relative to said base further comprises a rotatably-mounted member having an eccentrically-mounted projection thereon, said rotatably-mounted member being rotatably connected to said support column for movement therewith relative to said base, said eccentrically-mounted projection being received by a portion of said base so as to be constrained to follow a predetermined path relative to said base, whereby rotation of said rotatably-mounted member causes oscillation of said support column relative to said base.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
12 words
A hula doll as claimed in claim 1, further comprising sound-producing means.
Claim 9
Dependent Claim
57 words
A hula doll as claimed in claim 4, wherein said pivotably mounted member comprises a crossshaped member having two side arms for imparting motion to respective ones of said arms of said doll body, a top arm which is pivotably connected to said linkage arm and a bottom arm which is connected to said reciprocatory driving means.
Claim 10
Dependent Claim
88 words
A hula doll, comprising: a base; a support column which is rotatably connected to and supported by said base; a doll body connected to and supported by said support column; means for rotating said support column relative to said base; and means for moving said doll body relative to said support column, said means for moving said doll body including a linkage arm having one end connected to said doll body and reciprocatory driving means for moving the other end of said linkage arm in a reciprocatory motion.
Claim 11
Dependent Claim
88 words
A hula doll, comprising: a base; a support column which is rotatably connected to and supported by said base; a doll body connected to and supported by said support column; means for rotating said support column relative to said base; and means for moving said doll body relative to said support column, said means for moving said doll body including a linkage arm having one end connected to said doll body and reciprocatory driving means for moving the other end of said linkage arm in a reciprocatory motion.
Claim 12
Dependent Claim
104 words
A hula doll as claimed in claim 9, wherein said doll body further comprises at least one pivotably-mounted doll arm having a control arm connected thereto, and further comprises a control linkage arm pivotably mounted at one end to said control arm, a pivotably mounted member connected to said other end of said linkage arm so as to be driven in pivoting motion by said reciprocatory driving means, the other end of said control linkage arm being pivotably connected to said pivotably mounted member, whereby pivoting motion of said pivotably mounted member causes an oscillating motion of said at least one pivotably-mounted doll arm.
Claim 13
Dependent Claim
77 words
A hula doll as claimed in claim 9, wherein said means for rotating said support column relative to said base further comprises a rotatably mounted member having an eccentrically-mounted member being connected to said support column for movement therewith relative to said base, said projection being received by said base so as to be constrained to follow a predetermined path, whereby rotation of said rotatably mounted member causes oscillation of said support column relative to said base.
Claim 14
Dependent Claim
12 words
A hula doll as claimed in claim 9, further comprising sound-producing means.
