ABSTRACT:
An amusement device for use by children both for entertainment as well as a coordination aid. The device comprises a plurality of thin essentially similar segments, each segment pivotally engaging adjacent segments in snap-in relation. The pivotal engagement enables rotation of one segment with respect to an adjacently engaged segment through a predetermined angle. Locking means are formed into the segments preventing translation of one segment with respect to another when such segments are engaged. When connected in the form of an open belt, the device may be manipulated in various entertaining manners, and upon articulation, the impact of adjacent segments produces a slapping sound for additional amusement. When the free ends of the belt arrangement are engaged to form a closed loop, two segment stacks are created. Back and forth manipulation of each segment stack causes individual segments to move from one stack to the other. Additionally, by providing indicia such as pictures, perforations, and patterns on each segment face, a changing visual display is obtained as the segments are articulated from one stack to the other.
