Automobile drivers frequently experience glare from direct sunlight entering through the windshield as well as from light reflected by portions of the automobile, particularly the automobile hood, and reflecting ornaments on the hood or mounted to the front portion of the automobile and visible through the windshield. Virtually all automobiles have provisions to limit or prevent glare from direct sunlight by retractably mounting sunvisors above the windshield. Normally, however, no means is provided for shielding the driver from light reflected by the front portion of the automobile (hereinafter "hood"). Nevertheless, such reflection can be as annoying and potentially hazardous as glare from direct sunlight.
In the past, attempts have been made to shield the driver from light reflected by the hood by mounting to a portion of the interior of the automobile a vertically extensible, sectional shield. Such shields are to be mounted to what is commonly referred to as the automobile dashboard. U.S. Pat. Nos. 2,305,677 and 3,003,812 are exemplary of such anti-glare shields. In general terms the anti-glare shields disclosed in these patents are permanently mounted, e.g. bolted to a portion of the dashboard and they comprise a plurality of horizontally elongated shield sections. Adjacent, horizontal edges of the sections are hingedly interconnected so that the whole shield can be raised into its anti-glare position or retracted when not needed.
The glare shields disclosed in the referenced patents are add-on features and since the dashboards have no convenient provisions for mounting them thereon they are generally unattractive and may interfere with the driver's view of the instrument panel or with the accessibility and usefulness of the horizontal dashboard portion. Even though the shield is typically used infrequently, that is, only at such times as the relative position of the sun causes reflection from the hood to strike the driver, it interferes with the proper use of the dashboard and the instrument panel at all times. In other words, such shields are mostly a nuisance.
More seriously, when the shield is in its extended position, all shield sections are generally unsupported. An inherent stiffness in the connecting hinges or secondary frictional support mechanisms (such as shown in U.S. Pat. No. 3,003,812) keep the shield in its extended position. The constant shock and vibration to which the connections are subjected during normal driving conditions, however, have a tendency to cause the shield to retract unless the connections are exceedingly rigid and, therefore, hard to operate. In either event the shield is difficult to use and, due to the many component parts, assembly requirements, etc. relatively expensive. As a consequence, such anti-glare shields have never come into any widespread use and drivers continue to be annoyed and exposed to potential hazard from light reflected by the hood.
The present invention provides a simple, low cost and conveniently used anti-glare shield to prevent light reflected by the hood of an automobile from reaching the driver. Generally, speaking the anti-glare shield of the invention is placed on a horizontal surface of an automobile dashboard and comprises a plurality of shield sections constructed of an opaque and relatively rigid material. Each section has a height substantially less than the height of the windshield of the automobile and a length which is greater than the length of the section. The glare shield has an overall length many times greater than its height and it further includes hinge means aligning and hingedly interconnecting the sections for relative pivotal movement of the sections about horizontal axes. In use the sections are arranged in a zig-zag fashion on the horizontal dashboard surface to thereby render the glare shield self-supporting without requiring it to be permanently secured to any portion of the automobile.
The anti-glare shield of the invention preferably has more than three serially arranged shield sections and the hinge means comprises a flexible web material, such as a strip of adhesive tape, relatively thin, flexible plastic, or the like which is secured, e.g., bonded to portions of the shield sections adjacent proximate common hinge axes.
When the anti-glare shield of the invention is not in use it can be folded into a thin, compact stack of shield sections that is readily stored in the glove compartment of the automobile, under the driver's seat, in a side pocket, or the like. Thus, the shield is neither aesthetically disturbing during all but the few times when it is in actual use, nor does it interfere with the view of the automobile instrument panel or the usefulness of the horizontal dashboard surface as a convenient storage place for objects used during driving. Yet, when the need for the anti-glare shield arises it is quickly erected by simply laying it out on the horizontal dashboard surface. It will remain in that position and it will not collapse under normal driving shocks and vibrations as can be the case with prior art anti-glare shields.
Moreover, the anti-glare shield of the invention is simple, it comprises no more than a plurality of low cost, flat section panels and interconnecting adhesive tape or the like. Complicated high friction hinge connections, support structures and the like as found or prior art devices are eliminated. Consequently, the anti-glare shield of the invention is substantially less expensive to make than prior art shields.
Additionally, the shield of the present invention can be constructed of "readily cut materials", such as, cardboard, opaque, semi-transparent plastic sheet and the like which can be trimmed to the desired length and height with available household tools, such as scissors, to suit particular automobiles and/or drivers. Thus, a single shield device can be manufactured and stocked as contrasted with the need for manufacturing and storing multiple shield sizes and connector constructions as was necessary in the prior art. This yields further cost savings or both the manufacturer and the end user while it permits the shield to be cut to the most convenient size. Lastly, since the shield is an add-on device for the automobile the elimination of all installation, the drilling of holes, the use of clamps or adhesives and the like is eliminated. The prospective user simply purchases the shield and it is ready for instantaneous use without further installation costs.
Consequently, the anti-glare shield of the present invention is a substantial improvement over the prior art in that it both enhances the usefulness of such shields while it greatly reduces their cost.
FIG. 1 is a fragmentary plan view of an automobile (with the roof removed to view the interior thereof) illustrating an anti-glare shield constructed and mounted in accordance with the present invention;
FIG. 2 is an enlarged fragmentary perspective elevational view of an automobile dashboard instrument panel showing the anti-glare shield mounted thereon;
FIG. 3 is a side elevational view of the anti-glare shield of the invention in its collapsed state; and
FIG. 4 is an enlarged, fragmentary plan view showing the hinged connection of adjacent anti-glare shield sections.
Referring to the drawings, an automobile 2 generally comprises a front portion 4 including a hood 6, a passenger compartment 8, and a windshield 10 separating the passenger compartment from the exterior. The customary steering wheel 12 protrudes rearwardly from a dashboard 14 having an instrument panel 16 and a horizontal dashboard surface 18.
An anti-glare shield 20 constructed in accordance with the present invention is shown positioned on horizontal dashboard surface 18. The shield is constructed of a plurality of at least two and preferably of three or more shield sections 22 which are serially arranged and hingedly interconnected so that they can be pivoted relative to each other about vertical axes. Each section is constructed of an opaque material, such as, cardboard, a relatively stiff plastic panel and the like. For the purposes of this invention the term "opaque" is intended to include and includes materials which may permit some light to pass therethrough as long as the material reduces the light intensity sufficiently so that reflected sunlight does not cause distractive glare in the driver's eyes.
Each section has a preferably rectangular shape, a height which is substantially less than the height of the windshield to afford the driver a view of the road ahead and a length which is greater than the height of the section. Consequently, the fully assembled, multi-sectional shield has a length which is many times greater than its height.
Proximate edges 24, 26 of adjacent sections are interconnected by a suitable hinge connector, preferably a strip 28 of a flexible material such as webbing, plastic, adhesive tape and the like. Each half of the strip is secured, e.g., bonded to portions of the adjacent shield sections which adjoin edges 24 and 26. It will be observed that the hinge strips 28 are applied to alternate sides 30, 32 of the shield as is best shown in FIG. 4 so that the shield can be collapsed into a compact stack of face-to-face shield sections as illustrated in FIG. 3.
The use of anti-glare shield 20 should now be apparent. To summarize it, when sunlight (or other light) is reflected from hood 6 and causes glare in the driver's eyes, shield 20 is opened by hinging shield sections 22 relative to each other until the shield has a zig-zag configuration as is shown in FIG. 2. In this configuration the shield is self-supporting and can be placed on the dashboard. The shield can be adjusted by sliding it over the horizontal dashboard surface 18 until it is in the most effective, glare-shielding position. Moreover, its overall length can be increased or decreased to suit the driver's needs as well as to adjust the shield to the physical dimensions of the particular dashboard on which it is placed. It should be noted that from a practical point of view, this self-supporting positioning of the anti-glare shield is only possible by orienting the hinge axes between the shield sections vertically, and by constructing the shield so that its dimension perpendicular to the hinge axes, i.e., its length, is many times greater than its dimension parallel to the hinge axes, i.e., its height and by constructing the shield so that a sufficient number of longitudinal undulations can be generated to form a sturdy base. As above mentioned, for this reason, it is preferred to provide the shield with at least three sections so that the shield can be formed into an effective zig-zag shape.
When the need for the anti-glare shield of the present invention ceases it can be quickly guarded by collapsing the sections into a stack 34 and storing the stack in glove compartment 36 or in any other convenient storage place in the passenger compartment 8.

SanDisk and Sony expand Memory Stick PRO and Micro
SanDisk and Sony to Expand Memory Stick PRO and Memory Stick Micro Formats
SanDisk Corporation and Sony Corporation today announced the joint development of two expanded formats that will shape the flash memory landscape for years to come. "Memory Stick format for Extended High Capacity (Tentative name)" expands the "Memory Stick PRO" format series to achieve a maximum storage capacity of 2-terabytes (TB), while the "Memory Stick HG Micro" format enables a maximum data-transfer speed of 60 megabytes per second (MB/s), making it one of the fastest-smallest memory card formats to date. Format licensing corresponding to the "Memory Stick format for Extended High Capacity" and the "Memory Stick HG Micro" is scheduled to start in 2009.
Memory Stick Format Series for Extended High Capacity
The demand for high-capacity memory cards capable of storing high-resolution pictures and videos is increasing as the image quality of high-definition digital still cameras, DSLR cameras, and camcorders continues to evolve. The new "Memory Stick Format for Extended High Capacity" format hopes to meet this demand by enabling the recording of up to 2TB of data, which is 60 times more storage capacity than the "Memory Stick PRO" format's 32-gigabyte (GB) capacity limit.
By this format expansion, "Memory Stick PRO Format for Extended High Capacity" shatters the terabyte mark for data storage, opening the door for wider applications. This new format is scheduled to continue to support the "MagicGate" copyright protection technology as well as the "Access Control Function",
Memory Stick HG Micro
In addition, SanDisk and Sony today announced the joint development of "Memory Stick HG Micro", a format expanded from "Memory Stick Micro" (M2). This new format adopts an enhanced 8-bit parallel interface and features an increased interface clock frequency of 60 mega hertz (MHz), enabling 60MB/s (480 Mbps in theoretical value) maximum data transfer speed. This is three times faster than the conventional serial 4-bit parallel interface and 40MHz interface clock frequency adopted in the "Memory Stick Micro", offering data-transfer speeds of the "Memory Stick PRO-HG" on a micro-size memory card.
Since the September 1998 market introduction of the "Memory Stick" format, cumulative shipments of media is estimated to surpass 500 million units in 2009. SanDisk and Sony will continue to work toward enhanced usability of the "Memory Stick" format to respond to the market needs for larger and faster memory cards.
"SanDisk and Sony share a long collaborative history of developing products and technologies that enhance user experience and provide direct benefit to consumers," said Yoram Cedar, executive vice president, OEM and corporate engineering, SanDisk. "Both companies have enjoyed great successes with the Memory Stick PRO format in the past, and we are sure that the expansion of these formats to improve capacity and performance will be quite compelling. This technology provides a framework for us to develop products that will significantly impact mobile and consumer electronics markets."
Hidenosuke Kanai, President of Electronic Devices Business Group of Sony Corporation, said, "Sony has successfully collaborated with SanDisk Corporation in developing and promoting the "Memory Stick" formats such as the "Memory Stick PRO" format in 2003, the "Memory Stick Micro" format for mobile products in 2005 and "Memory Stick PRO-HG" format in 2006. Today, we are happy to announce the latest result of the joint development on the "Memory Stick" format to offer a memory card with unprecedented high capacity. Through the introduction of these new formats, Sony hopes that the "Memory Stick" will open up new possibilities and greatly expand its applications of flash memory cards."

Navigating the thin blue line
The importance of training and policy management
By Joshua Brown
Today's law-enforcement officer has to contend with a bevy of issues that arise from not following protocol: pay loss, sizable fines, extra labor hours, missed criminal convictions, and, ultimately, loss of employment. With all the new digital documentation devices available, it would seem that a better policy-management and employee-testing software system would be firmly in place. Unfortunately, there's always that one lawsuit that leaks out, and the media runs wild with it.

Watchdog warns on prepaid phone card fees
Relevant offers
National business
Buyers using prepaid phone cards to contact friends and family are being hit with sneaky fees, prompting a Commerce Commission clamp-down and a plea to read the fineprint.
The prepaid card industry is under scrutiny after two prosecutions and a string of complaints from people claiming they were mislead by deceptively cheap headline calling rates.
The popular cards allow people to pay in advance for local or international phone calls and are sold at supermarkets, dairies and online.
But hidden fees and surcharges can multiply the headline calling rates boldly displayed on posters and promotional materials.
One customer bought a $10 phone card made a single 62c call to the UK before daily fees ate the rest of the money.
The Commerce Commission today issued new guidelines for card makers, warning of big fines if costs were found to be misleading.
Dairies and other retailers could also be liable for displaying promotions for cards that did not comply, said Commerce Commission competition manager Stuart Wallace.
The most common complaint was that the number of calling minutes did not match the rate advertised or implied by the headline rates, said the watchdog.
Wallace said "nasty add-ons" remained a problem and advised people to shop around.
Late last year Compass Communications was convicted and fined $140,000 for misleading customers about the cost of using its cards.
The watchdog chalked up a similar win with a $100,000 fine against Australian-owned Tel.Pacific.
It then set about drafting explicit guidelines, said Wallace.
"We issued draft guidelines earlier in the year and then reworked them significantly after industry comment to bring in specific examples and make it crystal clear what was expected."
"We'd be looking at the companies creating the representations as the first trader we would approach." But retailers such as dairies could also be liable, he said.
The Commission said shoppers should beware of picking the card with the cheapest headline rate and "shop around and make sure they do read up on company's website as to terms and conditions. But the legal onus is on the company."
"Consumers should not have to carry out a mathematical exercise to work out which card offers the best rate."
"If companies use fine print to disclose fees and conditions that materially affect the headline rate, they are likely to breach the Fair Trading Act."
The commission started investigating prepaid phone cards in 2009 after complaints of dodgy marketing on both sides of the Tasman.
In the TelPacific case the Fair Trading Act breaches related to posters the company had placed in retail outlets advertising the cards which displayed in large print per minute calling rates, or the number of minutes of calling time.
But the fine print at the bottom of the posters showed additional costs and surcharges that would apply.
The cards were targeted at people who spoke English as a second language.
In sentencing, Judge Greg Davis said the way the posters were displayed in-store would make it difficult for even a discerning customer to understand that they wouldn't receive the full benefit of the advertised minutes.
The Commerce Commission said the rates advertised were misleading because a caller could only avoid the additional fees if they made one continuous call until all the credit had been used up, such as a single 102 minute call to Fiji using a Hello Asia Pacific calling card, for example.

Two Gentlemen of Chicago
The latest Shakespearean modern-music mash-up from the Troubies is yet another hit for the cheeky troupe of triple-threat performers. Proteus (Matt Walker, who also directs) and Valentine (Rob Nagle) are best friends, but the game of love threatens their bond. Julia (Christine Lakin, who also choreographs) thinks Proteus is her one-and-only, but Proteus soon develops feelings for Valentine's beloved, Silvia (Monica Schneider). As the Bard's comic formula dictates, all ends in happiness after silly skirmishes and backstabbing bouts. Chicago's dreamiest ballads, including "If You Leave Me Now" and "You're the Inspiration," keep the romance factor high, and the sometimes syrupy lyrics are perfect material for the company's sarcastic sensibility.

Multi-talented Jamaican artist, Dudsymil is once again showcasing his determination for mainstream superstardom by releasing the official video for his pulsating single, Come Here, the follow-up to his hit song, Go Away.
The official video for Come Here, a Reggae-influenced rendition of Ed Sheeran's Kiss Me, once again displays Dudsymil's raw emotion and vocal prowess in plain view for music lovers to see. Recently shot within the Greater Toronto Area, Dudsymil speaks fondly of one's affection for a woman who captures the heart while instantly creating a comfort zone for the woman to feel loved and secure.
Additionally, the aspiring international star shows his performance, offering a cool, soothing flow as well as a soulful, well-controlled energy in his delivery; creating an atmosphere filled with fitting visuals for the mood and concept of the track.

1. Field of the Invention
The present invention relates to display devices and, more particularly, to display devices that incorporate both some type of character and an optical assembly which can project a virtual image. The display device may be incorporated into various outer housings such as dolls, jewelry boxes or any type of box or package used to ship items.
2. Description of the Prior Art
In today's market it is becoming increasingly important to provide products which are aesthetically pleasing in addition to having useful functions. Consumers are becoming more and more demanding and desirous of packaging and products that will not only look good in a storefront but serve some additional purpose as either a display or novelty item. Towards that end, many manufacturers have placed either attractive designs on the outside of the boxes they ship their products in, or alternatively, have used various types of characters in order to induce people to purchase their products. Sometimes these characters are either depicted as an image on a box or occasionally sold on their own as a three-dimensional figure or doll.
Occasionally a purchaser may see such a character either depicted as an image on a package or as a full three-dimensional figure and may wonder what the character is thinking. Some solutions previously proposed have included providing a little "balloon" near the character which indicates what the character is either saying or thinking. Alternatively, a figure may be sold with an attached little booklet so that a consumer might read about what the character is thinking and, in general, what the personality traits of the character are.
With regard to the problem of making packaging or boxes aesthetically pleasing, it is already known in the art to form a box, such as a jewelry box, in a heart shape. For example, see U.S. Pat. No. 5,810,162 which shows in FIG. 2 a heart shaped jewelry box 10. This patent, however, fails to recognize the advantage of using characters to make the package more aesthetically pleasing, let alone the advantage of letting people know what those characters are thinking.
With regard to using a three-dimensional character on its own, U.S. Pat. No. 4,522,604 discloses a rockable toy with a reflecting mirror. Essentially the mirror is positioned so that when a child looks in the mirror it will see a moving head of a figure. The mirror is not used to indicate or represent what the doll or toy is thinking but rather merely to entertain a child who may be playing with the toy.
U.S. Pat. No. 3,729,865, which is incorporated herein by reference, discloses a doll with a mirrored face and a storage compartment. Specifically the patent discloses that "portions of the appendages can be modified in a manner to provide storage compartments for elongated objects such as nail files, combs, knitting needles and the like. When so modified, the subject matter of the invention serves a dual function: 1) as a doll and 2) as a purse, clutch bag or overnight case." The patent also recognizes the desirability of using a convex or otherwise modified mirror to provide novel and amusing reflective effects. However, while this patent does recognize using a mirror with a doll, it does not use a mirror to convey what the doll is thinking," nor does it use a mirror or a combination of mirrors in any specialized way to convey such information.
Finally, U.S. Pat. No. 3,647,284, which is hereby incorporated by reference, discloses a mirror arrangement designed to display objects such as jewelry. While this patent does use an interesting combination of mirrors to provide a display device, the display is generally designed to display jewelry while avoiding theft, rather than to provide for transportation of the jewelry. Furthermore, nowhere does the patent appear to disclose using characters in an aesthetic way.
As can be seen from the above discussion, while it is known and considered desirable to use characters to sell products or to sell characters themselves, and in addition, to have consumers be able to tell what those characters are thinking, none of the proposed solutions in the prior art have achieved these objectives.
Based on the above, there exists a need in the art for a combination of a character representation and an optical assembly which will be able to display a virtual image of what the character is thinking or to provide an image of its spirit or soul. More particularly, there exists a need in the art for a character represented by a doll that incorporates an optical assembly to display an image related to the doll's character. Furthermore, there exists a need in the art for a character depicted on a package, such as a candy or a jewelry box, that also includes an optical assembly to display an image related to the character.
It is the main object of this invention to provide a character that is constructed in combination with an optical assembly which will provide a holographic, three dimensional virtual image floating around the character. The image allows the viewer to see the character's soul or spirit to see whatever is on his/her mind.
It is another object of this invention to incorporate such a character and corresponding optical assembly within an outer housing such as a doll so that the optical assembly will project an image over the doll.
It is another object of this invention to provide a packaging or outer housing, such as a jewelry box or a candy box, wherein a character is displayed on the lid of the box and an optical assembly is provided to project a three dimensional image above the character.
Accordingly, the present invention provides for a display device for displaying a character having a virtual image wherein the display device comprises an outer housing having a hole formed therein, the outer housing being used to depict a character and an optical assembly including a first concave mirror, a second concave mirror facing the first concave mirror, one of the mirrors being provided with an aperture aligned with a hole in the outer housing and the other mirror supporting an object representative of what the character is thinking. With this construction, the object will appear to float above the character in an attractive fashion.
For example, in one preferred embodiment of the invention, the outer housing is in the form of a doll. The optical assembly actually makes up the major structural component of the doll's head and body and the aperture in the optical assembly is aligned with the doll's mouth. Additionally appendages such as legs and arms are attached to the doll's torso. Optionally, the arms and legs may be attached using a wire frame type construction. Finally, the doll may be dressed as dolls are typically dressed to give the desired aesthetic appearance.
In another embodiment of the invention, the outer housing is in the form of a box such as that used to ship candies. Preferably the box exhibits a heart shaped construction and the optical assembly is mounted therein. A lid with a hole is also provided over the box and, when used to close the box, the hole in the lid is aligned with an aperture in the optical assembly. A depiction of a character is provided on top of the lid so that the hole is strategically placed within the character in order to enable the optical assembly to produce an image indicative of what the character is thinking or representative of its soul or spirit.
In yet another embodiment of the invention, the outer housing may be in the form of a box having numerous drawers or storage compartments for various small items such as jewelry. The top of the jewelry box may support a depiction of a character and also have a hole located therein. The optical assembly will be mounted just below the top surface of the jewelry box so as to be able to project an image above the character.
Additional objects, features and advantages of the present invention will be more readily apparent from the following description of the preferred embodiments thereof, when taken in connection with the drawings wherein like reference numerals refer to corresponding parts in the several views.
FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a display device incorporating both an outer housing in the form of a doll and, in addition, an optical assembly according to a first preferred embodiment of the present invention;
FIG. 2 is a cross-sectional view along the lines 2—2 in FIG. 1 of the display device of the first preferred embodiment according to the present invention;
FIG. 3 is a perspective view of the optical assembly and an attached wire frame showing the first steps in constructing the display device according to the first embodiment of the invention;
FIG. 4 is a perspective view of the display device being constructed according to the first preferred embodiment of the invention;
FIG. 5 is a perspective view of various pre-assembled parts of the display device according to the first preferred embodiment of the invention;
FIG. 6 is a perspective view of the display device wherein the outer housing is in the form of a box incorporating a character according to a second preferred embodiment of the present invention;
FIG. 7 is a perspective view of the display device in FIG. 6 having been opened according to a second preferred embodiment of the invention;
FIG. 8 is a cross sectional view of the display device shown in FIG. 6 taken along the line 8—8; and
FIG. 9 is a display device wherein the outer housing is in the form of a jewelry box according to a third preferred embodiment of the invention.
With initial reference to FIG. 1 of the drawings, a display device having an outer housing 5 in the form of a doll is generally indicated at 10 in accordance with a first preferred embodiment of the present invention. Inside the doll 10 is shown an optical assembly 20. The doll 10, illustrated here as a belly dancer, is provided with a body 25, comprised of a torso 30 and a head 26. The head 26 is shown at the top of FIG. 1 and includes a face 32 having eyes 35, 36, a nose 42, hair 43 and ears 44 and 45. Also provided is a mouth 54, which is formed essentially by a circular hole 55 so that the optical assembly 20 can be seen therethrough. Each of the features of the doll's face 32 may be made from conventional materials. Additionally, each feature may be painted or colored with different pigments as desired. Such materials and techniques are well known in the art of doll making and will not be repeated here. As an example, the doll's hair 43 might be painted black and lips 56 red while its ears 44, 45 may be adorned with ear rings 57, 58.
A critical feature as far as this invention goes in regards to the doll 10 is that, as mentioned above, a hole 55 be formed in order to allow someone to see an image created by the optical assembly 20 located therein. Preferably, the hole 55 is the doll's mouth 54 and the optical assembly 20 is set up to display an image representing what the doll 10 is thinking. The doll's torso 30, arms 27, 28, and legs 66, 68 can be made with the usual fabric over stuffing construction found in many dolls. Additionally, various clothing 60 may be put on the doll 10 and those shown here are merely typical examples. Arms 27, 28 may be attached to the torso 30 and, respectively, hands 62 and 64 may be attached to the arms 27, 28. Once again, these appendages may be adorned as necessary. For example, the fingers on each hand 62, 64 could be painted or the doll 10 could be provided with jewelry. Finally, the doll's legs 66 and 68 are also attached to the torso 30 and the respective feet 72 and 73 are attached thereto. The doll 10 may also be provided with additional clothing such as trousers 74 and shoes 75, 76. Once again, it should be noted that numerous different types of clothing can be placed on the doll 10 without generally drifting from the scope of the invention.
Turning now to FIG. 2 there is shown a cross sectional view of the doll 10 of FIG. 1 taken along the lines 2—2. The optical assembly 20 can clearly be seen within the torso 30 of the doll 10. The optical assembly 20 is constructed from a pair of concave mirrors, 80 and 81. A first concave mirror 80 having a first reflecting surface is formed as a surface revolution around an optical axis "A". A second concave mirror 81 having a second reflecting surface is also formed as a surface of revolution around optical axis "A". This second concave mirror 81 faces the first concave mirror 80 and is preferably attached thereto at its outer periphery thus forming an internal cavity 85. While the first concave mirror 80 has a continuous reflective surface the second concave mirror 81 is formed with an aperture 86 at its center. Disposed near the reflective surface of the first concave mirror 80 at a first location within the internal cavity 85 there is an object 87 shown as a circle in FIG. 2. In operation, light rays 84 will emanate from the object 87 generally along the lines indicated in FIG. 2. These light rays 84 will reflect off of the second mirror 81 and back towards the first mirror 80 and finally converge at a second location where an image 90 is formed in the aperture 86 or just above the aperture 86 of the mirror 81 for viewing. The result is that an image 90 is formed from the object 87 and it appears to float above the doll 10. Ideally, the object 87 is some type of item, which will represent the thoughts or feelings of the doll 10. For example, using candy or food may indicate that the doll 10 is hungry, although numerous different objects 87 may be used and still be within the scope of this invention. The object 87 must only be related in some way to the character. It need not necessarily be representative of the characters thoughts or feelings. The actual location of the object 87 can also be adjusted which will result in a change of the location of the image 90. The details of optics in such a display assembly can be found in U.S. Pat. No. 3,647,284, which is hereby incorporated by reference.
Mounted to the optical assembly 20 as shown in FIGS. 3-5 there is a wire frame 95. The wire frame 95 allows the doll 10 to be placed and stay in any of various possible positions such as moving the arms 27, 28 outwardly or bending the legs 66, 68. However, these wires are not necessary and the doll 10 could simply be made of stuffing 100 with a covering 105 and still fall within the scope of this invention.
Construction of the invention and more particularly of the preferred embodiment of a doll 10 begins with an optical assembly 20. Such an assembly 20 may be purchased from a manufacturer such as the one ALPI International distributes under the name "Magic Levitation Chamber". Such an optical assembly 20 can be seen clearly in FIGS. 2 and 3. Initially, an object 87 is placed at a first location near the center of the mirror 80 without an aperture, and then the two mirrors 80, 81 are preferably permanently sealed together at their mating outer periphery with glue. With this configuration, a three-dimensional reflection image 90 appears to hover at a second location over the aperture 86 in the optical assembly 20. By gluing the two halves 80, 81 of the optical assembly together, this creates a major structural element for the doll 10 which eventually becomes the base for the doll's head 26 and torso 30.
In order to make the doll 10 into a posable figure, the wire frame structure 95 is added to the optical assembly 20 as shown in FIG. 3. The wire frame 95 has four strips 111, 112, 113, 114 extending into four different directions. Two of these strips 111, 112 support the doll's arms 27, 28 while two of the strips 113, 114 support the doll's legs 66, 68. The wire is somewhat flexible and can be bent to a desired shape to eventually allow the doll 10 to be posable in any desired configuration. As shown in FIG. 4 after the wire frame 95 is attached to the optical assembly 20, stuffing 100 and a covering 105 may be placed over the optical assembly 20 and wire frame 95 to form the outer housing 105 and to shape the body 25 to desired portions. The non-posable figures would be similar except they do not contain the wire frame 95, rather the optical assembly is 20 is just covered with a fabric 105 and then stuffed 100 and finally the covering 105 is stitched in place. Alternatively, the doll could be constructed of other materials, such as plastic or vinyl. In any event, a hole 55 is left open for the image 90 to be seen clearly outside the doll 10. Finally, the various arms 27, 28, legs 66, 68, hands 62, 64 and feet 72, 73 along with the head 26 are formed to a desired shape, decorated accordingly, then attached to the body 25 of the doll 10 in their appropriate spots.
Once the doll 10 is fully manufactured, it can then be costumed with various types of clothing 60. For example, clothing 60 could be provided for a bridal doll, a slumber party doll and a diva doll. The clothing 60 and the object 87 located within the optical assembly 20 would correlate with the general theme of each doll 10. It should be noted that dolls need not be characters that are human but could also be animals, for example, a dog. Once again, a decoration of the doll 10 should correspond to the general theme of that doll 10 as should the image 90 produced by the respective optical assembly 20.
Referring now to FIGS. 6-8 there is shown a second preferred embodiment of the invention wherein an outer housing 125 is in the form of a box or package 130 incorporating an optical assembly 20. A character is depicted on the cover 155 of the box 130 and the optical assembly 20 provides a floating image 90 of something related to the character. Specifically, FIG. 6 shows a heart shaped base 150 having a corresponding heart shaped cover 155 mounted thereon. The base 150 and cover 155 form an outer housing 125. The cover 155 provides a surface for depicting the character. Preferably, the center of the character's mouth is aligned with a hole 160 formed in the cover 155 and beneath the hole 160 there is disposed the optical assembly 20. As with the previous embodiment, an image 90 is provided and it appears to float above the character. It should be noted that the hole 160 does not necessarily coincide with the mouth of the character. It is only important that the image 90 be related to the character and it need not be located in the character's mouth.
Turning now to FIG. 7, the box 130 having a base 150 and a cover 155 is shown in an open configuration. The optical assembly 20 is mounted within box 130. Again, the image 90 is provided to project through the hole 160 located in the cover 155. Note also a storage area 180 is present to provide room for various items such as candies or jewelry.
Turning now to FIG. 8 there is shown a cut-away view of the box 130 depicted in FIGS. 6 and 7. Here the mounting device 170 is clearly shown supporting the optical assembly 20, holding it in place. Platform 120 may be added as required to adjust for the height of the optical assembly 20. The optical assembly 20 in the second preferred embodiment is identical to the optical assembly 20 of the first preferred embodiment and thus will not be described again.
Referring now to FIG. 9 there is shown a third preferred embodiment of the invention wherein the optical assembly 20 is mounted within an outer housing 190 or a jewelry box 200. Note that a top 201 of a jewelry box 200 provides a surface wherein a character may be depicted. Once again the center of the character's mouth preferably, but not necessarily, will align with the aperture 86 of the optical assembly 20 shown in hidden lines in FIG. 9. Also, as with the two other preferred embodiments, image 90 represents the character's thoughts or its spirit or soul. The box 200 itself has a side 202, a front 203, which can be clearly seen, along with a second side (not shown) and a back (not shown). It is generally of a rectangular prismatic shape. Two drawers are provided (210, 220) each with a storage area for various items such as jewelry or other small valuables. The optical assembly 20 functions similarly to the first preferred embodiment and will not be described again.
Although described with respect to the preferred embodiment of the invention, it should be understood that various changes and/or modifications can be made to the invention without departing from the spirit thereof. Therefore, the specific embodiments disclosed herein are to be considered illustrative and not restrictive. Instead, the invention is only intended to be limited to the scope of the following claims.
