ABSTRACT:
The invention disclosed herein is for a device adapted for self-determining, unpredictable variations in movement, which is preferably configured to include at least one figurine. The device comprises a base having at least one opening therethrough and a flexible member rotatably mounted to the base. Means for rotating said flexible member is mounted to the base and operably connected to said flexible member through said opening and may include manual or motorized drive elements. Positioned substantially coextensively within the flexible member is a deformable wire mounted to said means for rotation and optionally to a body element. A body member, such as a torso of a figurine, frictionally engages at least a portion of the flexible member and is rotatable therewith. Preferably, a means for obstructing rotation, such as a second similar device or a stationary object is mounted to the base and positioned in the rotational path of at least a portion of the first device so that contact is made between said devices during at least a portion of the arc through which the flexible member rotates causing unpredictable variations in at least the first device.
