A crying doll having a head with eyes, each endowed with a tear hole, a mouth, a device housed in the head for producing the visual effect of the doll shedding tears that has a fluid tank connected to the outside and able to accumulate a fluid above the level of the tear holes, and at least one flexible supply duct that hydraulically connects with one or both of the tear holes. The device includes a throttle for the supply duct and an actuating cam for the throttle for arranging the throttle against the supply duct, flattening it locally and impeding the passage of fluid through it. The actuating cam is mounted in the proximity of the mouth and operable upon inserting a nipple of an accessory element, separate or not from the doll, in the mouth.

A method, apparatus, and system according to which a patient simulator includes one or more of the following: a left eye assembly including a simulated left pupil, a simulated left eyelid, and/or a simulated left iris; a right eye assembly including a simulated right pupil, a simulated right eyelid, and/or a simulated right iris; a neck assembly including a simulated neck; a left brow assembly including a simulated left brow; a right brow assembly including a simulated right brow; a tear duct assembly including simulated left and right cheeks through which artificial pores are formed; and a mouth assembly including a simulated mouth. In various embodiments, any one, or a combination, of these assemblies may be, include, or be part of, a manikin in the form of a human face, and may therefore be activated simultaneously to realistically simulate life-like human emotional states.

A toy comprising an expandable figurine with a cavity and a valve adapted to allow a fluid to enter the cavity. When the cavity is filled with the fluid, the expandable figurine expands from a normal state to an expanded state. The toy further comprises a housing containing the expandable figurine in the normal state. The housing has one or more break apart elements and an opening proximate the valve of the expandable figurine contained in the housing. The one or more break apart elements of the housing are configured to rupture when the expandable figurine expands from the normal state to the expanded state while being contained within the housing.

Implementations of a decorative rotating lawn sprinkler are provided. In some implementations, the decorative rotating lawn sprinkler comprises a rotating sprinkler head, a figurine, piping, and a support.

In some implementations, an example method of use of the decorative rotating lawn sprinkler comprises anchoring or otherwise supporting the decorative rotating lawn sprinkler on a lawn or other surface, connecting the decorative rotating lawn sprinkler to a water source, and operating the decorative rotating lawn sprinkler to disperse water from the connected water source over a circular or semi-circular area of the lawn or other vegetation.

My Dollz Digestive System, which will be made in many sizes, which can be secured and unsecured to many dolls of many sizes, is a transparent, portable, simplified, toy version of the Digestive System that is in most animals. My DollZ Digestive System therefor, is a toy part that can be attached to dolls of many size after which it will allow children to feed liquid (water) to any doll that they attached it to and watch that liquid flow to each part of the simplified digestive system that is similarly to the digestive system in most animals, all of whom do drink, and wet. The electronic version which intakes lights as a food source will circulate the light throughout the digestive system as if it were alive however it does not produce liquid at the end but a light indicating that (the light) food source has reached the end of its cycle. The My Dollz Digestive System will also therefore, allow children who play with it, learn, and see a simplified path of the digestive system of most animals.
