  • Patent number: 4272915
    Abstract: An audio-visual amusement device is provided wherein one or more movable animated figures are associated with a housing structure containing an audio-amplifier, and from which extends an elongated cable terminating in a microphone and dual control head, one control establishing electrical circuit between the microphone and amplifier, and the other control activating an electrical drive mechanism which imparts motion to the animated figures. The housing structure includes a main housing with a horizontal partition to which a drive mechanism sub-assemblage and electrical circuit components can be mounted and tested before a top closure sub-assemblage carrying the animated figures, and finally a bottom closure providing battery storage, are respectively attached to complete the overall assemblage.

  • Patent number: 4091563
    Abstract: A fighting toy doll and the combination of a fighting doll and a toy prizefight ring. The doll is provided with appurtenances and mounting so that the doll falls down onto the floor of the ring when appropriately struck by an opponent doll. The fighting doll and ring combination has a swivel mounting for the doll which is rotatably and slidably mounted on a corner post of the ring so that the doll may readily be manually moved about to all parts of the ring. The toy prizefight ring has features of structural design which facilitate assembly of the toy. The fighting doll is provided with internal structure so that movement of the arms, and also the legs in combination with the arms, is readily attained by the insertion of a linear actuator into an opening in the lower torso of the doll, which linear actuator is usually a member of the supporting assembly by which the doll is manually moved about in the ring.
