Abstract: A push toy having a puppet mounted on a first member. Pivotally cross-connected at one end of the first member is a second member having wheels and pivotally cross-connected at the other end of the first member is a third member used for steering. Cables connecting the third member to the second member extend along each side of the first member. The cables extend through the puppet and the feet of the puppet are connected to the second member. As a user pushes the push toy and steers the wheels turn as the puppet moves in a manner such that the puppet appears to be steering the push toy.

Abstract: The present invention disclosed a contractile toy structure having a building or figure bodily shape. The toy structure according to the invention comprises one or more sets of resilient supporting mechanisms and a plurality of lock mechanisms. The resilient supporting mechanism makes the toy structure contractile and the lock mechanism holds the toy in a contracted state after the resilient supporting mechanisms are compressed. Through changes between contracted and extended states, the toy can display different postures. In addition, the invention has the advantage of reduced space requirement in transportation due to its contractility that has an effect similar to a foldable or compressible characteristic and thus provides convenience in use.

Abstract: An animated holiday-scene display device for providing decorative entertainment tools. The animated holiday-scene display device includes a base member having a top side and being adapted to rest upon a surface; and also includes an ornamental figurine being mounted upon the topside of the base member and having a body and movable arms; and further includes an ornamental object also being mounted upon the top side of the base member; and also includes a light-emitting assembly being disposed throughout the ornamental object; and further includes an assembly for actuating movement of the ornamental figurine.

Abstract: A mechanical biped assembly (10) consisting of a base assembly (12) which includes a lower section (14) that is hinged to an upper enclosure (28). Attached to the upper enclosure (28) is a biped body (60) consisting of a pelvic enclosure (62) that is supported by a left leg (102) and a right leg (112) and that has pivotally attached a thorax enclosure (124). The thorax enclosure (124) has pivotally attached a left arm (160), a right arm (170), a rotatable neck (186) to which is pivotally attached a head (200). Within the base assembly (12) and the biped body (60) is located a kinematical linkage mechanism (214) that is activated by a single push of the upper enclosure (28). When the mechanism (214) is activated, the thorax enclosure (124) pivots to the right, which is then subsequently followed by the left arm (160) pivoting upward, the right arm (170) moving to the right, and the head (200) rotating to the left and pivoting upward.

Abstract: A puppet (10) or other character representation includes an inner tube (11), an outer tube (12) and an extra tube (13) located within the inner tube (11). The upper ends of the inner and outer tubes (11 and 12) are connected by a sleeve (23) of simulation hair. A moulding (16) is secured to the outer tube (12) and has the appropriate facial characteristics including an opening (19) corresponding to the mouth of the character. The extra tube (13) has an upper edge which is connected to the part of the moulding (16) which provides the lower jaw of the character.

Abstract: Apparatus for animating a figure includes a head pivotably connected to a body, a control rod having a lower end fixed in the head and an upper end pivotable about an axis through a handle, and a second rod suspending the body from the handle remotely from the pivot axis, whereby pivoting the control rod about the pivot axis causes the head to pivot with respect to the body, giving the appearance of a change in posture. The head is preferably mounted for universal movement with respect to the body, and the rod is mounted for rotation with respect to the handle about a longitudinal rod axis which is perpendicular to the pivot axis. Rotating the control rod thus causes the head to rotate with respect to the body, giving the impression of looking left and right.

Abstract: The subject invention is a figure toy which is to be grasped and manipulated by a child. By way of example, the figure toy could comprise a bird. The child can manually maneuver the toy through the air resembling a bird in flight. The child can also depress a first lever which will result in the flapping of the wings of the bird. The child can also depress a second lever which will result in the extension of the legs of the bird. A third lever is to be actuatable which will result in the moving of the feet of the bird to a grasping position with the feet being capable of grasping onto and holding exterior objects. The object can then be released at a desired time. An annunciator button can be actuated which will also result in emission of a bird-like noise, as well as illumination of the eyes of the bird.

Abstract: The interactive animated figure toy is formed with few commonly available component parts. Various interesting figures may be selectively formed by stringing a plurality of bead elements together with elastic bands. The figure is mounted on two elongated supporting rods such that it may be actuated to perform interesting and entertaining responsive actions with the operation of the supporting rods.

Abstract: A story board with attachable elements (10) for being secured to a wall, with the associated set of dolls (26) being individually and releasably secured thereto. A plurality of loop members (14) are provided along the top border to enable the securement of the story board (12) to a wall. The front panel (15) of the story board (12) is sectioned into a grid of individual panels (16). Each panel (16) illustrates a particular scene, in similar fashion to a conventional story board. Each of the individual panels (16) is decorated to reflect the personality of the particular doll (26) to be secured to that panel (16) and is provided with a conventional fastener (18) for the securement of the doll (26). A pocket (17) is carried by selected of the individual panels (16) for storing various selected items. One individual panel (16) may be provided with a pocket (20) for carrying a story book (24) illustrating at least one story involving the characters of the dolls (26) carried on the individual panels (16).

Abstract: A toy apparatus includes a simulated bird like figure, including a main body portion and legs mounted to underlying platform, with a head member and a tail member pivotally mounted at respective forward and rear terminal ends of the body member. Pendulum lines are mounted to the head member and to the tail member to effect oscillation of the figure upon oscillation of an associated pendulum weight mounted to lower ends of the pendulum lines.

Abstract: A toy band assembly including a stage assembly, a plurality of movable toy figures, such as toy frog figures, a plurality of toy musical instruments, a sound pick-up unit, a stage lights assembly, power supply, a power supply switch, an integrated circuit, a front transmission mechanism, a front reciprocating mechanism, a rear transmission mechanism, and a rear reciprocating mechanism. When the power supply switch is switched on, light bulbs in a stage lights assembly start to flash and the sound pick-up unit picks up sound signals from the surroundings and directs electric signals to the integrated circuit. The integrated circuit electrically connects the power supply means to a front and a rear motor when sufficient electrical signal is received. The front and rear motors rotate and translate their rotations to the front and rear transmission mechanisms and to the front and rear reciprocating mechanisms.

Abstract: It is a toy transmission device, which includes a U-shaped frame being mounted with a spring motor. The spring motor is engaged with gear train and a shaft, on which a music code roller and a number of cam wheels are mounted. Each of the cam wheels is engaged with a cam lever for pulling a member of a toy. Whenever the spring motor is running, a music will be played while the toy makes various gestures as if playing the music.

Abstract: Am improved manipulative articulated toy figure has rings attached to certain movable limbs and is operated by the fingers of a human hand for reproducing lifelike human or animal movement. The figure has a central body portion and a plurality of limbs movably mounted thereto. The rings extend outwardly from the limbs and each receives a human finger for independent manipulation of the limbs to control the movements of the articulated figure. The rings allow the figure to be selectively used as a conventional articulated toy figure or as a finger actuated puppet figure.
