ABSTRACT:
A toy having an upright toy body standing on a pair of skis to resemble a skier. Each ski is provided with a driving wheel operable by an electric motor in cooperation with a driving mechanism built within the toy body to rotate so as to enable the toy to roll on a ground surface. The toy has two hands each holding a ski pole, the two hands being operable by the same electric motor in cooperation with an alternating pivot lever to move alternatingly up-and-down while the driving wheels are caused to rotate. The up-and-down movement of the two hands causes the ski poles to alternatingly push the ground to cause the toy body to alternatingly tilt sidewardly, thus causing the driving wheels to lift alternatingly from the ground; as a result the toy turns alternatingly along a zig-zag course while it rolls, as if a skier were skiing along a zig-zag course.
