ABSTRACT:
A motion generation mechanism particularly adapted for use in a music box is mounted in connection to the driving spring of a music box so as to permit the motion generation mechanism to actuate the head and limbs of a doll-like object to motion in tune with the music played by the music box. The motion generation mechanism is equipped with a first swing wire and follower arm wherein the follower arm is actuated by the swing wire to produce a swinging motion and a driving shaft associated with the follower arm is accordingly twisted back and forth. In the meanwhile, the second, third and fourth sets of swing wires and follower arms are driven by the back and forth twisted driving shaft to produce repetitive swing motions, causing the head, limbs of a doll-like object to move or dance in tune with the music.
