ABSTRACT:
Manually actuated toy dinosaur structure and method. The dinosaur structure includes a rigid body member, a head positioned on the body member, structure for lowering a lower jaw and then turning the head to one side, two legs having suction cup feet and ankle portions, structure for first releasing suction in the suction cups and then moving the legs to produce walking of the toy, a tail, and means for moving the tail. The method includes the steps of selectively actuating finger trigger members on a cable control member to selectively produce first opening of the lower jaw of the dinosaur followed by turning of the dinosaur's head to one side, alternately breaking the suction cup seal on one of the leg portions followed by lifting of the leg portion and subsequent returning of the leg portion to its initial position and to cause the dinosaur toy to appear to walk, and moving of the tail transversely over center. A hand control is provided to actuate the head, legs and tail of the dinosaur toy through flexible cables and includes trigger structures held in relatively fixed rotatable positions with actuation being on axial movement thereof. A cable tube guides control cables between the cable control and the toy.
