Abstract:
A doll having a head and a torso, the doll comprising:an orifice positioned in the head connected to a tube that leads into a reservoir contained within the torso, such that liquid is permitted to flow through the orifice into the reservoir; a magnetic valve assembly having a hollow valve housing with a top portion secured to a bottom section defined by the reservoir, a central opening in said top portion, and the hollow valve housing has at least one inside wall with a longitudinal groove, a magnetic piston is slidably received within the valve housing, wherein the longitudinal groove permits liquid within the reservoir to travel past the magnetic piston, a valve ball is secured to the magnetic piston, and a spring is positioned within the valve housing biasing the magnetic piston out of the bottom section of the reservoir; a nozzle having a second orifice and is in communication with the bottom section of the hollow valve housing, the nozzle has an inside wall that creates a fluid tight seal with the valve ball when the magnetic piston is biased by the spring, such that liquid is prevented from exiting the nozzle via the second orifice; and a repelling magnet disposed externally of the doll adapted to exert a repelling magnetic field to the magnetic piston to force the magnetic piston upwardly against the spring such that the fluid fight seal between the valve ball and the nozzle is temporarily broken to permit liquid within the reservoir to travel through the second orifice and discharge from the doll.
