ABSTRACT:
A riding toy mechanism which provides both lateral and vertical reciprocating motion in which the amplitude of the vertical reciporcating motion is not determined by the amplitude of the lateral reciprocating motion. The mechanism includes a slide member (20) slidably mounted on the mechanism, a pivot member (24) pivotably mounted on the mechanism, and dual reciprocating means (28) for imparting harmonic lateral reciprocating motion to slide member (20) and independent vertical pivoting motion to pivot member (24). Dual reciprocating means (28) may include a cam (30) mounted to pivot member (24), a drive gear (31) for rotating the cam (30), and a connecting rod (32) pivotably and eccentrically attached at one end to one of the cam (30) and the drive gear (31) and at the other end and to mooring means (17). The mechanism includes cam follower means (40) upon which cam (30) rests. Rotation of cam (30) thus imparts harmonic lateral reciprocating motion to slide member (20) and independent vertical pivoting motion to pivot member (24). In another embodiment, alternate slide member (58) is slidably mounted on alternate pivot member (60), which is pivotably mounted to a stationary support member (12).
