ABSTRACT:
A toy with a dancing figure on a stage. The toy includes a housing, a dancing stage mounted on the housing with a friction causing upper surface, a dancing figure on the stage a turntable mounted in the housing below the dancing stage, the turntable rotating about its centre in a plane parallel to the plane of the stage, and a few relatively heavy pieces distributed on the upper surface of the turntable so that the centrifugal forces of the turntable am balanced about the its centre of rotation. One of the pieces attached to the turntable is a first magnet having its poles oriented perpendicularly to the plane of the stage. The dancing figure has a second magnet at its base. The second magnet's poles are oriented at right angles to the plane of the dancing stage when the figure is upright, and the polarity of the second magnet is oriented relative to the polarity of the first magnet so that the first and second magnets attract each other. The turntable can be activated in response to sounds or by a switch. The other heavy pieces on the stage may be metal pieces that are weakly attracted and repelled by the second magnet, so that the dancing figure's movements vary accordingly.
