ABSTRACT:
A toy has a housing in which is rotatably supported at least one disc having a plurality of object members on it. The object members are fixed to the disc and therefore movable with it. The toy includes a motor which drives the discs via a clutch. The clutch has two positions, one an engagement position wherein the disc is driven and the other a non-engagement position wherein the motor is no longer capable of driving the disc. A movable member is mounted on the housing and positioned in association with the disc. By moving over the surface of the disc, the movable member is capable of individually contacting each of the obstacles on the disc and upon such contact, the movable member is capable of interlocking with each of the obstacles to stop the rotation of the disc and shift the clutch into the non-engagement position where it remains until otherwise acted on. The toy includes a reset mechanism capable of disrupting the interlockment between the movable member and any of the obstacles allowing the clutch to shift from the non-engagement back to an engagement position and once again drive the disc.
