ABSTRACT:
A working toy which alternately moves its hips left and right while slowly turning counterclockwise and a Hawaiian melody is heard to give a lifelikeness that compares with a real hula dancer. The toy includes an upper portion, a lower portion, and a base portion. The upper portion resembles the head through waist of a human; the lower portion resembles the waist through hip portion of a human. The upper portion is pivotally connected to the lower portion by a hinge pin. The base portion supports the upper portion and the lower portion by a support bar, one end of which is secured to the base portion and the other end of which is placed in a cavity within the body of the upper portion. The base portion includes a housing with a rotating base secured to its bottom portion, a stationary base with feet spaced below the rotating base, a three-way switch, a battery, a motor, a melody I.C., a speaker, a drive gear, a cam, an actuator arm, gearing which will transmit the motion of the motor to the cam and will cause the rotating base to rotate slowly. When the switch is turned on to the first position, a Hawaiian melody is heard; when the switch is turned on to the second position, the motor turns the cam that in turn moves the actuator arm alternately up and down that in turn moves the hips of the toy left and right, while the toy slowly turns counterclockwise and a Hawaiian melody is heard.
