ABSTRACT:
The action figure disclosed includes a mechanism for rotating an armor other appendage relative to its torso. The arm is activated by pivoting one leg toward another against the bias of a spring to pivot an internal lever that imparts linear movement in a follower. The follower includes a cam for engaging helical ribs on an arm shaft to translate linear motion of the follower to rotary motion in the arm shaft and arm. A ratchet on the follower prevents engagement with the lever while the spring returns the leg and internal lever back to their original positions to permit substantially continuous rotary movement of the follower.
