ABSTRACT:
A toy is hung and is movable on a cord between an upper limit position and a lower limit position. The toy includes a frame unit, a driving device, a planetary gearing, and a cord winding gearing assembly. The driving device has a power source installed on the frame unit, and a first output shaft journalled on the frame unit and driven by the power source. The sun gear of the planetary gearing is sleeved fixedly on the first output shaft so that, when driven by the driving device, the planetary gear of the planetary gearing rotates about the first output shaft. A return spring interconnects the frame unit and the cord winding gearing assembly so as to bias the driving gear of the cord winding gearing assembly to engage the planetary gear of the planetary gearing. The cord winding gearing assembly includes a reel connected to the cord winding gearing assembly so as to be driven by the power source to rotate in a direction, thereby winding the cord thereon. The driving gear and the planetary gear winds the cord on the reel so as to cause the toy to ascend along the cord to the upper limit position. The disengagement of the driving gear from the planetary gear causes the cord to unwind from the reel so as to enable the toy to descend along the cord to the lower limit position.
