Doll

Abstract

The invention is a segmented and jointed doll that may be placed in numerous interesting, geometrical, and educational positions. The doll preferably has body segments, a head segment, limb segments, and facial feature segments that are attached via connectors so that the segments may rotate with respect to each other and the doll may take on and hold different positions and looks.

1 . A doll, comprising:
 a plurality of body segments, and   a plurality of connectors;   wherein said plurality of body segments are flat;   wherein said plurality of body segments are connected to each other by said plurality of connectors.   
     
     
         2 . The doll of  claim 1 , wherein said plurality of connected body segments rotate freely with respect to each other at a connection point. 
     
     
         3 . The doll of  claim 2 , wherein there are an even number of said plurality of body segments;
 wherein said plurality of body segments each have two ends, a proximal end and a distal end;   wherein each proximal end of said plurality of body segments is attached to a distal end of another one of said plurality of body segments such that said each of said plurality of body segments are connected to two other of said plurality of body segments and form a doll body of closed interconnected segments.   
     
     
         4 . The doll of  claim 3 , wherein there are six of said plurality of body segments such that said doll body of closed interconnected segments is a six-sided geometric structure. 
     
     
         5 . The doll of  claim 4 , further comprising:
 a head segment.   
     
     
         6 . The doll of  claim 5 , further comprising:
 one or more facial feature segments.   
     
     
         7 . The doll of  claim 6 , further comprising:
 one or more limb segments.   
     
     
         8 . The doll of  claim 7 , wherein said one or more limb segments comprise two feet segments, two arm segments, and two hand segments. 
     
     
         9 . The doll of  claim 8 , wherein said arm segments have a proximal end and a distal end;
 wherein said proximal end of said arm segments is attached to said doll body; and   wherein said hand segments are attached to said distal end of said arm segments.   
     
     
         10 . The doll of  claim 9 , wherein said two arm segments are attached to said doll body and to said head segment by a head/arm connector. 
     
     
         11 . The doll of  claim 10 , wherein said two feet segments are attached to said doll body at a connector opposite to said head segment. 
     
     
         12 . The doll of  claim 11 , wherein said body segments, head segment, feet segments, and arm segments are made of paper. 
     
     
         13 . The doll of  claim 4 , further comprising:
 one or more limb segments.   
     
     
         14 . The doll of  claim 13 , wherein said one or more limb segments comprise two feet segments, two arm segments, and two hand segments. 
     
     
         15 . The doll of  claim 14 , wherein said arm segments have a proximal end and a distal end;
 wherein said proximal end of said arm segments is attached to said doll body; and   wherein said hand segments are attached to said distal end of said arm segments.   
     
     
         16 . The doll of  claim 15 , further comprising:
 a head segment.   
     
     
         17 . The doll of  claim 16 , further comprising:
 one or more facial feature segments.   
     
     
         18 . The doll of  claim 17 , wherein said two arm segments are attached to said doll body and to said head segment by a head/arm connector. 
     
     
         19 . The doll of  claim 18 , wherein said two feet segments are attached to said doll body at a connector opposite to said head segment. 
     
     
         20 . The doll of  claim 19 , wherein said body segments, head segment, feet segments, and arm segments are made of paper.
