Abstract:
1. A toy doll comprising: an input region configured to receive a liquid delivery device; a discharge port; and a fluid-transport mechanism configured to receive a liquid from the liquid delivery device and deliver the liquid to the discharge port, the mechanism including: wherein the fluid-transport mechanism is in a first configuration when the plunger is in the fluid-delivery position, and the fluid-transport mechanism is in a second configuration when the plunger is in the fluid-receipt position; wherein the activation mechanism includes an activation lever configured to pivot about an axis, the activation lever including a first portion and a second portion, wherein at least a portion of the first portion is disposed in the input region when the activation mechanism is in a first configuration and the first portion is less disposed in the input region when the activation mechanism is in a second configuration, and wherein the second portion is operatively coupled to the plunger; wherein insertion of the liquid delivery device into the input region so that the liquid delivery device engages the first portion of the activation lever causes the activation lever to pivot about the axis in a first direction, move the plunger away from the outlet, and permit the reservoir to receive liquid from the liquid delivery device through the inlet; wherein removal of the liquid delivery device from the input region causes the activation lever to pivot about the axis in a second direction opposite the first direction, to move the plunger toward the outlet and force at least a portion of received liquid through the outlet, and out the discharge port; and wherein the fluid-transport mechanism further includes: a connecting rod having a first end region coupled to the plunger and a second end region opposite the first end region; and a follower coupled to the second end region of the connecting rod and in surface contact with the second portion of the activation lever.
