ABSTRACT:
An educational toy comprises a base and a statue mounted thereon. The statue has movable head and arms. A pair of hands are relatively rotatable about a dial face of a question/answer plate. To each hand is connected a switchboard having a plurality of contacts. Contacts of one switchboard are electrically coupled to contacts of the other switchboard. A first actuating mechanism, including a first drive motor, is coupled to the head and arms of the statue. A second actuating mechanism, including a second drive motor, is connected to the head of the statue. A disc is disposed over the switchboards and includes first and second circuit systems. When the hands are positioned to indicate a question and corresponding answer, electrical contacts on the switchboards contact appropriate contacts on the disc to close the first circuit and thereby actuate the first drive motor to produce an affirmative nodding and clapping action of the statue. If an incorrect answer is indicated, then contacts on the switchboards contact appropriate contacts on the disc to close the second circuit system and thereby activate the second drive motor to produce a negative wagging motion of the statue head.
