ABSTRACT:
A hand held doll includes a body supported by a pair of legs and having a pair of arms and a head. One of the arms is pivotally supported upon the torso portion of the body and holds a simulated whip formed of a flexible cord and end weight. The drive mechanism within the body interior includes a movable panel which is pressed inwardly when the body is squeezed and a return spring which restores the panel position when the torso is released. A gear drive mechanism operatively couples the pivotally moving panel and an arm gear such that panel movement during successive squeezes and releases of the doll torso causes the whip holding arm to be rapidly raised and lowered to "crack" the whip. A flexible reed within the doll interior is caused to make clicking sounds as the panels moves in and out.
