ABSTRACT:
A toy flowerpot with movable toy flowers includes a pot defining a space in which a battery-powered transmission mechanism and more than one rotating mechanism are provided to rotate, elevate, and lower toy flowers connected to and located above the rotating mechanisms. The rotating mechanism each includes a rotational shaft connected to a central shaft of an actuating gear that is brought to rotate by gears included in the transmission mechanism and meshing with one another. An elevating cylinder is associated with and therefore rotates along with the rotational shaft. A wheel is connected to a lever horizontally extended from the elevating cylinder and rotatably moves along an inclined top surface of a hollow cylinder surrounding the elevating cylinder when the elevating cylinder rotates, and thereby brings the elevating cylinder to move up and down while rotating. The toy flowers connected to a top of the elevating cylinder are therefore elevated and lowered while rotating along with the elevating cylinder.
