Connecting system for doll, clothing, and accessories
View Patent ↗A combination has a flat fabric doll with applied grommets for attaching reversible clothing and accessories. A doll head and torso joins by sewing to a front surface with arms and legs extending from beneath and adding depth to the doll. Grommets join to the torso and to reversible clothing. A brad or button threaded with pipe cleaner passes through the reversible clothing grommet and the doll torso grommet and exits the rear surface and bends for securement. A grommet applied above the head on the front surface receives a fabric loop for holding flat a doll during play. The invention also has another loop or label upon the rear surface that secures the doll to a stand by slipping over an upright pole of the stand.
1. An amusement device for children comprising:
a front surface and an opposite rear surface;
said front surface having a head, a neck beneath said head, an upper torso beneath said neck and generally wider than said neck, a lower torso opposite said upper torso, and thermal activated interfacing affixed to said front surface, said front surface having a perimeter and a length, and said thermal activated interfacing stitched to a majority of said perimeter of said front surface perimeter;

2. The amusement device for children of claim 1 further comprising:
said legs extending outwardly from said bottom edge and beneath said layer simulating clothing.
3. The amusement device for children of claim 1 further comprising:
said arms affixed to said upper torso of said front surface and extending outwardly from said upper torso.
4. The amusement device for children of claim 1 further comprising:
said layer simulating clothing includes a dress, said dress having the perimeter, and said dress stitched along its perimeter to said front surface.
5. The amusement device for children of claim 1 further comprising:
said cap having at least two holes receiving said flexible elongated member wherein said flexible elongated member is either a coated wire or a chenille stick engaging with said at least one grommet extending through the amusement device.
6. An amusement device comprising:
a front textile surface and an opposite rear textile surface, said front textile surface being planar and said rear textile surface being planar, and, said front textile surface and said rear textile surface being mutually parallel;
said front textile surface having a head, a neck beneath said head, an upper torso beneath said neck and of greater width than said neck, a lower torso opposite said upper torso, and thermal activated interfacing affixed to said front textile surface opposite said upper torso, said front textile surface having a perimeter and a length and said thermal activated interfacing stitched to a majority of said perimeter of said front textile surface;
said front textile surface perimeter having a top edge and an opposite bottom edge, said top edge being rounded and said bottom edge being straight and perpendicular to the length of said front textile surface;
said rear textile surface having a perimeter with a top edge and an opposite bottom edge, said top edge being rounded and said bottom edge being straight and perpendicular to the length of said rear textile surface;
said front textile surface bonded to said rear textile surface upon heating said thermal activated interfacing wherein said interfacing provides stiffness and padding to said combination amusement device;
a layer simulating clothing having thermal activated interfacing and a perimeter, wherein said layer simulating clothing affixes to said upper torso and is sewn to said front textile surface;
two legs of fabric adhered to said front surface and depending from said lower torso;
two arms of fabric adhered to said front surface, said arms being spaced apart and depending from said upper torso;
said front textile surface further joined to said rear textile surface upon their mutual perimeters by stitching together about the majority of their mutual perimeters such that an opening is formed in the amusement device between the bottom edges of the front surface and the rear surface;
at least one grommet extending through the amusement device from the layer simulating clothing to said rear surface;
at least one grommet extending through said front surface and said rear surface proximate said rounded edges, and a loop connecting to said at least one grommet joining said front surface proximate said rounded edge; and,
a cap upon a flexible elongated member wherein said flexible elongated member passes through said at least one grommet joining said layer simulating clothing and wherein said cap prevents said flexible elongated member from exiting said rear textile surface wherein said flexible elongated member is either a coated wire or a chenille stick engaging with said at least one grommet extending through the amusement device.
7. The amusement device of claim 6 further comprising:
a plurality of human facial features affixed to said head by one of needlepoint stitching, and thermal activated interfacing; and,
doll hair affixed to said head by stitching.
8. The amusement device of claim 6 further comprising:
