ABSTRACT:
The invention has reference to an animating mechanism for appendages of a toy figure where different appendages are given different motions. When applied to a winged figure, by way of example, the wings are given an up and down flap-like motion and the arm at the same time is swung laterally back and forth. For power an electric motor drives a rotating eccentric cam wheel. An eccentrically located pivot pin on the wheel has an articulated connection to the wings. At the same time a cam riding around an eccentric cam track on the same wheel causes a vertical rod to rotate, first in one direction and then in the opposite direction, so that the arm attached to the rod swings back and forth in a sidewise direction.
