Abstract: The present invention provides a balloon-shaped structure driving apparatus by which portions of a balloon-shaped structure can be caused to move easily and reliably and weight and cost can be reduced and a discharge/suction selector valve device. A rotating blade of the discharge/suction selector valve device is rotated to a suction operating position to connect an air outlet and an air flowing hole, to exhaust air from actuators toward a pump device, and to contract a bellows portion. At this time, the actuators pull acting portions of arm portions of a balloon robot main body, the balloon robot main body is bent at allowance portions which can be bent, and the arm portions are forcibly moved down.

Abstract: A doll controlling device controls a doll driving device to make a doll carry out movement for selling foods or drinks. A releasing device releases one of foods or drinks from a food or drink harvesting device when the releasing device is supplied with a money receipt signal and a selecting signal. A sound producing device produces sounds which are useful for selling foods or drinks. The dispenser for foods or drinks selling device may further comprise a cooking device for cooking foods or drinks from the harvesting device.

Abstract: A movable model of an animal is described in which a driving mechanism adapted to operate synchronously with generation of a sound by a control circuit is incorporated in a simulated animal-like body portion formed of a soft foamed urethane block which has been shaped to the external configuration of a human or animal, and an operating end of said driving mechanism is joined to a part of said soft foamed urethane block forming the body portion of the model so as to induce movement of the moving parts of said body portion.
