  • Patent number: 4582317
    Abstract: An amusement and novelty device including a simulated human hand that vibrates and moves concurrently to give it a lifelike appearance. The hand is substantially hollow and contains a motor and a shaft rotatably connected thereto with a plurality of disc-shaped plates eccentrically mounted upon the shaft, which projects into the cavity of the hand to terminate within the recess defined by one of the fingers. The motor is secured and held substantially fixed within a motor mount, which is formed by reversing and then tucking in excess material that is attached to the rear of a wrist and then causing it to overlap and coincide with the walls of the cavity defined by the wrist to fit tightly around the motor. Activation of the motor rotates the shaft which then causes the finger to revolve either clockwise or counterclockwise, depending upon the preference of the user. The hand will move to the right when the finger revolves clockwise and to the left when the finger revolves counterclockwise.
