| Abstract: |
A ventriloquist doll in which a neck socket on the torso receives a generally hemispherical head support carrying a hollow head provided with a movable member such as a jaw resiliently biased to one position and adapted to be moved to another position by a lever pivotally carried by the support and having a trigger portion associated with a handle extending downwardly from the head support into the torso and accessible through an opening in the back of the torso and in which a resilient element connected between the handle and the torso holds the assembly of the head and its support in position while permitting both turning and inclination of the head relative to the torso by manipulation of the handle and operation of the jaw by actuation of the lever trigger portion.
