ABSTRACT:
The carousel when assembled by the consumer has striking animation effects (considering that the mechanism is made primarily of wood), including a rocking motion of animal figurines. The rocking results from mounting each figurine on the end of a horizontally rotatable shaft, supported from the carousel; a crank keyed to the same shaft extends down through a log slot in the carousel deck.
Under the deck is a stationary disc. In this disc is a series of holes, in a circular pattern with radius equal to that of the crank locus. The crank periodically drops into these holes, as they sequentially move under the crank; the crank rotates upwardly as the trailing edge of each hole sequentially engages the crank.
This oscillation of the crank is transmitted by the horizontal shaft to the figurines.
