ABSTRACT:
An audio-visual amusement device is provided wherein one or more movable animated figures are associated with a housing structure containing an audio-amplifier, and from which extends an elongated cable terminating in a microphone and dual control head, one control establishing electrical circuit between the microphone and amplifier, and the other control activating an electrical drive mechanism which imparts motion to the animated figures. The housing structure includes a main housing with a horizontal partition to which a drive mechanism sub-assemblage and electrical circuit components can be mounted and tested before a top closure sub-assemblage carrying the animated figures, and finally a bottom closure providing battery storage, are respectively attached to complete the overall assemblage. In a disclosed adaptation the motion of a first figure simulates hand clapping, while the motion of a second figure, if present, simulates excited jumping. A part of the drive mechanism is utilized in generating a sound synchronized with, and providing audio accompaniment for the hand clapping. A part of the drive mechanism includes an arrangement for imparting motion to the second animated figure, if present.
