ABSTRACT:
A gyroscopic walking toy is described having a housing adapted to be positioned for motion in a horizontal direction, a gyroscopic element rotatably mounted from the housing for rotation in a substantially vertical plane, a leg frame and a pivot for connecting the leg frame and the housing for pivotal movement therebetween. Relative movement of the leg frame and housing is produced by a crank geared to the gyroscopic element and linked to the leg frame whereby rotation of the gyroscopic element causes relative movement of the leg frame and the housing while maintaining the gyroscopic element in a substantially vertical plane thereby lifting one of the legs off a supporting surface. Feet can be rotatably positioned at the bottom of the leg since the housing and leg frame pivot around one foot when the other foot is elevated.
