ABSTRACT:
In a mechanism for moving the lower limbs to enable a toy to walk in a manner similar to the way a human walks. A drive mechanism in the body of the toy imparts a pivoting movement to the limbs to make the toy walk. The movements make one limb to move 180.degree. out of phase with the other limb. The toy counterbalances the reaction torque generated during the movement of the limb. A rod-shaped element slides freely in a recess housing within the body of the toy. A resilient helical spring acting on the rod-shaped element urges the limbs to move.
