ABSTRACT:
A transfer mechanism intended for use in moving an article such as a figurine from one location to another in a toy can be constructed so as to utilize a wheel which is rotatably mounted on a support structure. The wheel is provided with at least one opening which is sufficiently large so that an article to be transferred will pass through the opening. A carrier is pivotally mounted on the front side of the wheel adjacent to the opening. The carrier is sufficiently heavy so that the action of gravity will maintain the carrier in a substantially vertical position as the wheel is rotated. The carrier is provided with an entrance adjacent to the front side of the wheel which is sufficiently large so as to receive the article to be transferred. During rotation of the wheel the carrier will fit against the wheel so that such an article is held by the carrier until such time as the wheel rotates to a point where the carrier is located so that the article may pass from or to the carrier. The figurines preferably used with the transfer mechanism are small figurines each of which has a ball projecting from its bottom which is constructed in such a manner as to move by gravity down an inclined surface by the ball rolling upon the surface.
