  • Patent number: 4591158
    Abstract: A remotely controlled model golfer including a mobile unit and a remote control unit. The mobile unit includes a wheeled body carrying an upstanding figure at one end. The figure is in the general form of a golfer holding a golf club. The figure's arms are rigidly interconnected and pivoted intermediate their shoulders to allow the arms and thus the golf club to be "swung" through an angle of up to 180.degree. by an electric motor subject to the control of the remote control unit. The remote control unit also controls forward and reverse motion and steering of the wheeled body. A set of interchangeable golf clubs are provided to enable an operator to "play" a game of golf using a miniature golf ball. Servo-drive circuits utilizing pulsed signal are employed for actuating driving and steering of the wheeled body and actuation of the electric motor for pivoting the figure's arms.
