  • Patent number: 3986295
    Abstract: A figurine is disclosed having an arm rotatably mounted to a torso; a hand carried on a shaft, which shaft is received within the hollow of the arm; means located within the hollow of the arm for latching said shaft in a first position and biasing means located within the hollow of said arm for urging sad shaft forward out of said hollow arm; and means responsive to manual actuation of a torso portion for unlatching said shaft to cause said hand to extend to a position remote from the end of said arm. A gauntlet of a sleevelike nature surrounds the arm and is coupled at an end to the hand so as to obstruct visibility of said shaft when said hand is in the extended position to thereby simulate an increase in length of said arm. Specific novel structure in the provided means is also disclosed.
