ABSTRACT:
The disclosure relates to a non-tippable toy which is capable of rocking about an axis and ultimately resting in a vertical position and which is also capable of motion in a lateral direction by utilizing an axle having a pair of wheel-like members affixed thereto, the axle being rotably mounted in the body of the toy so that the toy is capable of rocking about the axis. The toy also includes weights secured to the bottom of the toy body by means of a spring fastener or the like to provide the low center of gravity. The toy body includes a pair of shoulders thereon, preferably surrounding the shaft, which receive components thereon designed to alter the configuration of the toy. Numerous aspects can be provided to the toy by replacing the wheels with a plurality of feet in the shape of a wheel so that the lateral motion of the toy is not impaired. Also, the wheels can be mounted on the shaft in an off-center position to provide a side to side and up and down motion to the toy during lateral motion thereof. Due to the configuration as set forth hereinabove, the toy itself is always capable of rocking on the axle and ultimately returning to its initial upright position due to the low center of gravity of the weights which are positioned beneath the axle and within the toy.
