Improvement in or relating to Dolls or Dolls' Faces.
I, FLORENCE EMILY EATON St. Cronans Roscrea County Tipperary Ireland,
married woman, do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
It consists in making the faces or heads and faces of dolls in such a way and of
such a material that they are almost unbreakable and indestructible and are much
superior to the ordinary wax or other faces or heads in common use for dolls being
fully equal to a wax face or head in appearance and much superior in durability:
To carry out my invention I first take or procure an ordinary dolls head of porcelaine
china delf or other hard material I then take a sheet of the material commonly
known as dental enamel and which consists of a thin sheet of prepared indiarubber
gutta percha or caoutchouc of from about one sixteenth to one eighth of an inch or
more in thickness and cut out of same a portion of suitable size to cover fully the
porcelaine china delf or other hard. material model head above referred to and I
immerse this in boiling water until it becomes thoroughly soft and plastic and I then
lay the said piece of dental enamel india-rubber guttapercha or caulchouc over the
face of the porcelane china or other model and press and work same with my fingers
until the features of the model until I obtain a complete impression or cast of the
models features which I allow to harden and subsequently upon the convex or outer
face I with.ordinary artists colors paint in the eyes eyebrows lips and nostrils but
previous to painting in the features in the case of faces made from the white dental
enamel while same is still in a soft or plastic state I rub over the entire face a
cooloring mixture, consisting of rouge or bloom de nimon to give a general perma-
When this is completed
nent flesh tint after which I colour the features to taste.
and the face dry I fill or stuff the hollows at back with tow, flax or other soft
material and attach it to an ordinary dolls body made of rags or other material.
I adopt a similar process to construct heads and faces black or other coloured dental
enamel sheet indiarubber or caoutchouc and colour according to taste.

indiarubber, guttapercha or caoutchou of from about one sixteenth to one eighth of
an inch or more in thickness and cut out of same a portion of suitable size to cover
fully the porcelaine, china, delf or other hard material model head above referred
to and I immerse this in boiling water until it becomes thoroughly soft and plastic
and I then lay the said piece of dental enamel, indiarubber, gutta percha or coutchou
over the face of the porcelaine, china or other model and press and work same with
my fingers into the features of the model until I obtain a complete impression
or cast of the models features, & which I allow to harden and subsequently upon
the convex or outer face I with ordinary artists colours paint in the eyes, eyebrows,
lips, and nostrils, but previous to painting in the features in the case of faces made
from the white dental enamel while same is still in a soft or plastic state I rub over
the entire face a couloring mixture consisting of rouge or bloom de nimon to give
a general permanent flesh tint after which I colour in the features to taste, when
this is completed and the face dry I fill or stuff the hollows at the back with tow,
flax or other soft material and attach it to an ordinary dolls body made of rags or
other material, I adapt a similar process to construct heads and faces of black or
other coloured dental enamel, sheet indiarubber, or caoutchou and colour according
to taste.
When desired I may varnish the face or parts of same in order to preserve
them.
Having thus particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said inven-
tion and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what I
claim is :-
1. The improved means of forming dolls faces consisting of a sheet of dental
enamel, indiarubber, caoutchou or other plastic material which is worked while hot
into the features of a dolls face and is then cooled and coloured and sewn or
attached to the figure substantially as described and shown herein.
Dated this 15th day of October 1895.
