ABSTRACT:
A box with a lid is provided with the lid having spring hinges normally urging the lid closed. A battery operated control unit is situated within the box operatively connected to a display screen at the front of the box which is visible when the lid is open a predetermined amount by a solenoid. The control unit includes an adjustable timer which opens the lid at random intervals to display the screen. The control unit also projects a pair of circles of light on the screen simulating a pair of eyes which move on the screen in a predetermined pattern after which the lid closes with a snapping sound. Normally the screen is black but colors may be introduced either into the screen or the simulated eyes as desired.
