  • Patent number: 6276986
    Abstract: A toy knitting machine is provided which includes a lower housing and an upper housing pivotally connected to the lower housing which contains a knitting mechanism positioned therein. The upper housing is pivotable relative to the lower housing between a first position at which the upper housing substantially covers the knitting mechanism preventing access thereto, and a second position at which the upper housing does not cover the knitting mechanism thereby permitting access to the knitting mechanism. By pivotally connecting the upper housing to the lower housing, misplacement and loss of the upper housing is prevented. The toy knitting machine is also designed to make assembly easier and more efficient by reducing the number of assembly steps and preventing incorrect assembly of the machine. In addition, the components of the knitting machine are optimally positioned upon assembly to produce on improved knitted product.
