Abstract: A movement assembly particularly for the legs of a doll comprises a geared transmission whereof the end wheel, supported on the body structure of the doll, has two opposite eccentric pins (48,48'), one for eah leg. On each of the pins a movable U-shoped element (50') is rotatably engaged and is mounted and restrained to the body structure of the doll in order to be driven by the respective eccentric pin in an upward and downward motion and simultaneously an oscillating movement. The U-shaped element has a pin (58) for assembly of the leg, which can be mounted thereon with the possibility of being rotated around the pin.

Abstract: In a mechanism for moving the lower limbs to enable a toy to walk in a manner similar to the way a human walks. A drive mechanism in the body of the toy imparts a pivoting movement to the limbs to make the toy walk. The movements make one limb to move 180.degree. out of phase with the other limb. The toy counterbalances the reaction torque generated during the movement of the limb. A rod-shaped element slides freely in a recess housing within the body of the toy. A resilient helical spring acting on the rod-shaped element urges the limbs to move.
