ABSTRACT:
A bobble head doll shaker includes a base and housing and a supporting platform that is hingedly mounted to the housing. A motor drives an agitator that lifts and releases the supporting platform, thereby imparting an oscillating motion to a bobble head doll supported on the platform. The agitator includes engagement portions that lift the supporting platform. The motor has variable speed and agitator elements having different profiles that may be interchanged to achieve a greater variability of the oscillating motion. Moreover, with the hinge attachment, the bobble head doll's position and corresponding movement may be varied by changing its location on the supporting platform. A riser element may also be placed under the doll to increase the instability of the doll and provide for further varying the bobble head doll motion.
