ABSTRACT:
An animal statue for simulating the drawing of a pedal-propelled or motorized carriage is provided which consists of a front section, the head of which contains a motion actuated voice box, and a rear section to be connected to the carriage to be drawn. The front section is joined to the rear section by either a coil or leaf spring. As the front section is steered to the right or to the left by reins attached to the front section, the spring resists this motion and tends to draw the front section back into alignment with the rear section thus better simulating the guiding of a horse with reins. A mechanism, such as a wheel or a caster, is coupled to each leg of the animal statue, for allowing the animal statue to travel along the ground. A structure is for steering the first travel allowing mechanism. A person in the carriage chassis can control the steering structure with a set of reins, thereby simulating the feeling of driving a real animal-drawn carriage.
