  • Patent number: 4164827
    Abstract: An action toy comprising a housing in the shape of a face. The housing has two spaced openings which form the eyes of the face. A pair of plates are disposed within the housing in juxtaposition with the openings. Each plate bears an eyeball design. A pair of elastomeric hand-shaped members are rotatably mounted on opposite sides of the housing. Each hand-shaped member is secured to a hinge having a cam surface. Each hinge is spring biased to an open position. A motive member is connected to the plates and is provided with a pair of cams for causing simultaneous reciprocating movement of the plates and the hand-shaped members to simulate a peek-a-boo game.
