ABSTRACT:
A confined animation figure toy includes a housing which is at least partially transparent, and an animation figure confined in the interior of the housing. The animation figure is suspended from an elongated operating element which passes through the top part of the housing from the exterior of the housing to its interior and is connected at its end remote from the figure to an actuating element. The actuating element can be constructed as a ring for receiving a finger of the user, and the elongated element may be a string which is guided on the back wall of the housing in a guiding eyelet. In the alternative, the actuating element may be constructed as a spring-biased slide partially received in a channel of the bottom wall of the housing, or as a crank rotatably mounted at the back wall of the housing. It is also possible to provide more than one operating element, each such operating element being connected to a different part of the toy figure and being independently displaceable. The housing is so constructed that the figure is accommodated therein with a limited freedom of movement, so that the various parts of the figure strike, and bounce off from, the walls of the housing. The various parts of the figure are connected to one another for displacement relative to one another, such as by flexible strings, so as to conduct seemingly independent movements.
