ABSTRACT:
A model figure of an animal which can be caused to perform a forward walking movement or like forward travelling motion by the application of finger or other manual pressure to the head of the model animal. The model basically comprises a first member (1) which includes an upper jaw and two fore limbs, and a second member (12) which includes a lower jaw, a body and at least one hind limb, the two members being pivotally interconnected by a pin (10) or the like which is situated at, or substantially at, the junction between the upper and lower jaws. The limbs have a good frictional engagement with any supporting surface and an operator of the model first tilts the first member (1) so that its limbs slide forwardly over said surface and subsequently rocks that member (1) forwardly about the points of engagement of said limbs with the supporting surface so that the or each limb of the second member (12) slides forwardly over the surface, the jaws being repeatedly opened and closed during continued forward progress.
