Abstract: A toy for figure play includes: a rotating body provided rotatably; and a figure holder provided on the rotating body and configured to hold a figure. The figure holder includes: a seat surface on which a figure is allowed to be placed; a first wall portion erected on a first direction side of the seat surface, the first wall portion including a bulging portion that bulges toward the seat surface; a second wall portion erected on a second direction side of the seat surface so as to face the first wall portion, the second wall portion including a recess portion that corresponds to the bulging portion; and an arm member provided in the first wall portion and provided pivotally on a seat surface side.
Abstract: A personal mobility vehicle, such as a scooter, includes a plurality of wheels supporting a deck or other vehicle body portion. The vehicle has a movable portion that is movable relative to another portion of the vehicle. A motion transfer mechanism is operably coupled to the movable portion and causes movement of the movable portion in response to movement of the vehicle.
Abstract: A doll (10) that dances by reciprocating a hip portion (20) and that simultaneously moves along a surface (S) in a generally curving path. The doll has a base (40) with a drive wheel assembly (70) and a crank (55) that reciprocates the hip portion (20). Preferably, the doll (10) also has sound emitting means (110).
Abstract: The present invention provides an action amusement set having as a primary member a self-propelled, multi-purpose doll that can be disassembled to reveal a gameball usable with various sporting accessories included with the amusement set. The multi-purpose doll is provided with a drive mechanism for propelling and turning the doll. A remote control unit is also provided for remotely controlling the drive mechanism. The action amusement set includes several types of gameballs that can be selectively incorporated in the multi-purpose doll but which are configured for play in connection with a particular sport. The sporting accessories of the amusement set include several components that may be arranged into suitable setups corresponding to a particular sport.
Abstract: A propellable articulating animal toy having a flexible, pliable stuffed body which simulates an animal, preferably a puppy, having freely moveable body components. The body fits over a housing which includes at least one ground-engaging support wheel connected within the housing. The housing also includes a forwardly extending lever pivotally mounted in the housing and structured to be pivotally articulated up and down through an acute angle by eccentric driving engagement with the wheel as the toy is manually propelled over a flat surface. The animal body also covering the lever is thus made to bob up and down appearing to be running or jumping as the toy is propelled over the flat surface. Although only the forwardly portion of the animal body is articulated by the pivoting movement of the lever, the entire body and all body components take on a realistic running motion due to the pliable nature of the animal body and its plush covering, which may also be made removable for holding and cuddling.
Abstract: An amusement device consisting of a base frame having a first and second end. A pair of ratchet wheel assemblies mounted to an supporting the second end of the base frame. A motor is mounted within the base frame. A cam is rotatably driven by the motor. A yoke assembly having a first and second end in which the second end of the yoke assembly is oscillatorially activated by the cam to cause the first end of the yoke assembly to oscillate relative to the first end of the base frame. A pair of ratchet wheel assemblies are mounted at the first end of the yoke assembly such that when the first end of the yoke assembly oscillates, the ratchet wheels rotate.
Abstract: Toy figures and characters which incorporate a plurality of one or more styles or shapes of rotatable gear-like components which are formed of soft, yieldable material and which components are selectively mounted to a variety of frames to thereby create toys having animated body parts that rotate as the toys are moved across a support surface.
