  • Patent number: 4457100
    Abstract: This toy has a kicking foot driven through a mechanical linkage from a battery-powered motor under the control of a manual switch. A toy figure in front of the kicking foot has an articulated leg which is part of a mechanical linkage coupling it to the motor. This articulated leg operates a linkage rod inside the torso of the toy figure to move the figure's arms, turn its head, and cause its jaw to drop open when a kick is delivered. A lamp near the figure's posterior is turned on when the kick is delivered.
