ABSTRACT:
An animated display showing the Nativity scene. Human figures representing the Wise Men, shepherds, etc., move past the crib containing the infant Jesus. Each figure pauses, turns towards the crib, bows, turns back, and then moves away. The pausing action is created by a drive gear with some missing teeth. The turning action is created by two racks which mesh sequentially with a gear on which each figure is mounted. The bowing motion is created by a hinge mounting for each figure, and a push-rod actuation mechanism.
