ABSTRACT:
A toy figure having an arm or leg incorporates an internal clicking sound-generating mechanism. For toy figures molded from deformable plastic material, the sound-generating mechanism is within an arm or leg of the toy, and includes first and second members relatively movably engageable with each other inside a closed chamber. A clicking sound is produced thereby, typically when the arm or leg is bent. The arm or leg is formed by an insert molding operation with the plastic material molded to shape completely around the sound-generating mechanism. For other toy figures, such as stuffed animals, the filling or stuffing surrounds the sound-generating mechanism, and the portions of the sound-generating mechanism that engage each other are arranged inside a closed chamber, or at least within an enclosure shaped to substantially exclude the filling or stuffing.
