The toy stringed instrument is attached to a body of the toy and a disc couples the body to the toy stringed instrument. A hand on the body is secured to the disc which rotates in response to activation of a motor housed in the body. Thus, rotation of the disc causes corresponding rotation of the hand.

  • Patent number: 5020223
    Abstract: A compact, light weight, structurally simplified bump-feed type cutting head for a flexible line trimmer is formed from only six components--a hollow cylindrical hub having an open lower end; an annular cover member releasably securable over the lower hub end; a threaded arbor press-fitted into the hub to secure it to the trimmer drive shaft for rotation therewith; a hollow tubular release button member slidably extended through the central cover member opening and axially movable between downwardly extended and upwardly retracted positions; a line storage spool rotatable carried by the release button member within the hub; and a cylindrically coiled compression spring captively retained within the release button and biasing it toward its downwardly extended position. During high speed rotation of the hub about its axis, an outer end portion of flexible line coiled on the spool and passing outwardly through a hub side aperture is whirled through a transverse cutting plane to trim adjacent vegetation.
