Abstract: A playing animal toy wherein a rotary vessel is mounted rotatably on a floor engaging member having a bottom surface. The rotary vessel has a projecting edge for touching the floor which is larger in diameter than the bottom surface and disposed above it. A toy is disposed movably back and forth within the rotary vessel and formed in imitation of a desired animal. The rotary vessel is moved by a swinging device to swing back and forth with the swinging motion of the toy so that one portion of the projected edge of the rotary vessel is brought in touch with floor.

Abstract: A glove puppet figure has wings capable of simulating flapping movement while producing an audible sound, and driven by a mechanism that is uncomplicated and yet effective. The figure may have a head component that can be moved, by manipulation of the operator's finger, relative to a body which is held substantially immobile on the operator's hand, and the glove empolyed is not only functional but also contributes to aesthetic appeal. The wings are removably mounted to the body by flexible coupling members. The wings are fabricated from a synthetic resinous laminate and provides an iridescence to the wings.

Abstract: A toy with a swing wherein on a perch member of a swing a monkey toy member is mounted. The perch member has a switching mechanism and cells therein. The monkey toy member has a driving mechanism electrically connected to the cells, a swinging mechanism connected in association to the driving mechanism for swinging the monkey toy member forwards and backwards, a tail moving mechanism connected in association to the driving mechanism for curling and extending a tail of the monkey toy member, and a squeaking mechanism associated intermittently with the swinging mechanism for opening and closing a mouth of the monkey toy member to squeak. The monkey toy member is supported movably in the forward and backward direction on a base shaft secured transversely to the perch member.

Abstract: An impact responsive toy has a part of the body that is movable to expose the part in its regular condition or in a damaged condition. A biasing force urges exposure of the hidden damaged condition while the part is releasably latched to expose the undamaged or regular position. Application of an outside force, such as the impact of a crash or blow, releases the latch to automatically and instantaneously switch the undamaged and damaged conditions.

Abstract: A moveable toy (10) consisting of a base (12) and a motorized vehicle (14). The base includes a track (46) having a central groove (50) ending in openings (54) at either end. The track includes teeth (48) which cooperate with a drive gear (44) held in the vehicle to drive the vehicle along the track. Rotors (56) having notches (58) on the top surface are rotatably held in openings at each end of the central groove in the track. Upon actuation, the vehicle travels along the track until it arrives at either end of the track, where the vehicle rotates the base to allow the vehicle to continue along the track end for further movement of the toy in the same direction.

Abstract: A dancing hula doll which alternatively moves its hips left and right to give it a lifelikeness that compares with a real hula dancer. The doll includes an upper portion, a lower portion, and a base portion. The upper portion resembles and head through waist of a human; the lower portion resembles the waist through hip portion of a human. The upper portion is pivotally connected to the lower portion by a hinge pin. An activator pin is connected to the inner surface of the lower portion. The base portion supports the upper portion and the lower portion by a support rod, one end of which is secured to the base portion and the other end of which is placed in a cavity within the head of the upper portion. The base portion includes a housing with a turning plate secured to its bottom portion, a stationary base with feet spaced below the turning plate, a switch, a battery, a motor, an I.C.

Abstract: A toy has a body having first and second body members which are pivotally joined together so as to allow articulation of the toy body. A motor is located in the body with a set of driving wheels located on the first body member. The toy articulates between a first and a second configuration with the driving wheels contacting a support surface in the first configuration so as to drive the toy across the support surface and being lifted upwardly from the support surface in the second configuration so as to no longer drive the toy across the support surface.

Abstract: A summersaulting toy has a housing with a motor located in the housing. A first and second shaft are located parallel to one another transverse to the longitudinal axis of the toy with the ends of the first and second shafts projecting beyond the right and left sides of the housing. A foot pedestal is attached to right and left sides of both the right and left shafts respectively. In response to rotation of the shafts by the motor, the housing rotates about the shafts such that the housing is rotated first by the foot pedestals on the first shaft as the housing summersaults up and over the first shaft, and then by the pedestals on the second shaft as the housing summersaults up and over the second shaft. This process repeats itself in a cyclic manner as the toy does summersaults across a support surface.

Abstract: A toy mechanical bull having rotary and reciprocal movements used in conjunction with a doll figure having releasable securing means adapted for cooperation with complementary releasable securing means on the toy mechanical bull, wherein the rotary and reciprocal movements of the toy mechanical bull will disengage the releasable securing means resulting in a simulation of a mechanical bull throwing a rider from its back.

Abstract: A movable toy animal wherein an electric motor is set on a frame in a head and electrically connected to a battery in a trunk, gearing is operatively connected to the electric motor, an axially-movable change-over gear is meshed with a first output gear in the gearing and adapted to be engaged with and disengaged from a nose-driving gear, which is adapted to move a nose forward and backward and mounted fixedly on a crankshaft, a driving shaft having an input gear is meshed with a second output gear in the gearing, a cam disc is mounted fixedly on the driving shaft, the cam disc having on its inner side surface a projection adapted to urge a pressure-receiving portion of a slide shaft, on which the change-over gear is fixedly mounted, first and second cam plates of different shapes is mounted fixedly on both end portions of the driving shaft and connected operatively to operating members, which are adapted to move ears up and down, and a switch unit is provided in a rear portion of a head so as to constitute a
