  • Patent number: 4044498
    Abstract: The invention concerns toy animal figures with four legs and a rigid, shaped body. In order to achieve as natural an appearance of such figures as possible, also to enable a toy human figure with a realistically small leg spacing to be mounted on the animal figure, preferably with a saddle, the middle of the animal body is formed by a narrow web coverable either by a centerpiece completing the body or by a saddle. When the centerpiece is placed in position no "rider" can be mounted thereon. When, however, a saddle is mounted, in place of the centerpiece, a figure with small leg spacing can "ride" on the animal.

  • Patent number: 3995395
    Abstract: The invention concerns an assemblable toy figure including: a head mounted on one end of a downwardly extending locking bar which has a flattened locking shoulder; and a hollow trunk divided into two havles and journalling arms and legs for pivotal movement about a horizontal axis. Each arm terminates in flange engageable in a lateral opening in the trunk and has extensions serving as pivotal axes. The legs engage in recesses at the front of the trunk for pivotal movement and are journalled by laterally projecting pins. For rapid, easy, and optionally mechanised, assembly and reliable locking, oblique surfaces are formed in one trunk half which resilient webs extend downwardly and towards each other with lower edges running perpendicularly to and overlapping the dividing plane. The lower edges of the oblique resilient webs cooperate with the shoulder of the locking bar for locking. Feet, hairpieces and other accessories may also be provided.
