Eye for toy

Abstract

An eye includes a socket, an eyeball, an eyelid and at least two electromagnetic units. The socket defines a spherical bay. The eyeball is received in the spherical bay. One end of the eyelid has an eyelash, the other end of the eyelid has a magnetic element corresponding to the eyelash. The at least two electromagnetic units are disposed on different positions of an upper side of the socket. In this case, the eyelid is movably arranged between the socket and the at least two electromagnetic units.

1 . An eye comprising:
 a socket defining a spherical bay;   an eyeball received in the spherical bay;   an eyelid, one end of the eyelid comprises an eyelash, the other end of the eyelid comprising a magnetic element; and   two electromagnetic units disposed on different positions of an upper side of the socket for generating and applying magnetic force to the magnetic element;   wherein the eyelid is arranged between the socket and the electromagnetic units and is slidable in response to the magnetic force applied thereto.   
   
   
       2 . The eye as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein the eyeball comprises a pupil location comprising a color light source. 
   
   
       3 . The eye as claimed in  claim 2 , wherein the color light source is a color light-emitting diode. 
   
   
       4 . The eye as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein the magnetic element is a permanent magnet. 
   
   
       5 . The eye as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein the magnetic element is an electromagnet. 
   
   
       6 . The eye as claimed in  claim 2 , further comprising a permanent magnetic unit disposed on the upper side of the socket and on a far side of the pupil location. 
   
   
       7 . The eye as claimed in  claim 2 , wherein the electromagnet elements are disposed in a first position and a second position, respectively, the first position on a near side of the pupil location, and the first position and the second position are on the upper side of the socket and spaced from each other. 
   
   
       8 . The eye as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein magnetic poles of the electromagnetic units are perpendicular to an inner face of the socket. 
   
   
       9 . A toy comprising:
 a head having a front face and a cavity in the front face, the cavity having an opening;   an eyeball received in the cavity, the eyeball having a pupil portion exposed at the opening;   a plurality of electromagnetic units arranged within the head, adjacent to the eyeball;   an eyelid slidably arranged between the socket and the electromagnetic units, the eyelid having a first end with an eyelash attached thereto and an opposing second end with a magnetic element attached thereto; the electromagnetic units configured for generating and applying a magnetic force to the magnetic element to drive the eyelid to slide.
