Abstract (en)
A soft plush animal (10) with eyes (20) that light up has an actuator (30, 31) in the body (12) of the animal for opening and closing the eyelids (22, 24) in response to pressure on the actuator exerted through the body. Preferably a pair of pivoting upper (22) and lower (24) eyelids for each eye are biased together to close the eyes. Pressure on the actuator inside the body pivots the lids open against the bias. As the eyelids begin to open, a battery (39) powered light source (40) turns on to backlight the eyes. <IMAGE>
