Bathtub toy

Toy take-apart engine

An action play toy which includes a housing having a plurality of apertures therein and a plurality of action elements and three dimensional elements which are detachably received in the apertures. A gear assembly in the housing interconnects the action elements for simultaneous rotation and a bell assembly in the housing produces interesting sound in response to rotation of the gear assembly. The toy is adapted for assembly by a child with action and three dimensional elements of a variety of configurations, as desired.

Toy boat

A doll construction having a relatively flexible body to which leg members and arms are joined, an arm assembly being located in the body adjacent to the upper end thereof and extending outwardly of the body into the arms to define therewith arm members, the arm assembly including a plurality of hingedly connected segments that are movable from a fully opened to a fully closed position. The body, leg members and arms may be made of a flexible cover member which may have foamed material therein. The arm assembly may be of polypropylene.

A toy simulating a walking animal that includes a body on which axles are mounted in spaced relation, wheels being mounted on the axles for rotation therewith. Levers simulating legs of an animal are secured to the wheels in offset eccentric relation and are reciprocably movable upon rotation of the wheels. A spring assembly is interconnected to the front axle and is responsive to the withdrawal and release of a draw-string for producing rotation of the front axle and a corresponding propelling movement of the body. The legs as secured to the wheels are constructed and arranged for reciprocable movement upon rotation of the wheels and propelling movement of the body for imparting a simulated walking action of the toy animal.

An inertia motor for use in toys, comprising a drive gear mounted on one of the axles of the vehicle and having a substantial diameter and rotating a pinion gear which is coaxially mounted with a substantially larger back gear, which in turn drives a pinion which is coaxial with a flywheel, the flywheel being mounted eccentrically with respect to the drive shaft. The flywheel is of such size and weight, and the gear ratios are such that the flywheel is rotated at least about twenty times with each rotation of the drive gear and, therefore, stores a substantial amount of energy which is slowly released from the flywheel to the drive gear to provide a slow, prolonged release of energy to drive the vehicle. In one embodiment of the invention, a pair of gear trains are provided, one on each side of the flywheel, in mirror image to each other, and the housing therefor, which may contain only two wheels, is in a substantially eliptical shape having a flattened bottom. In this latter form, the device may be used alone as an inertia motor-driven toy, capable of gyroscopic action when placed on one of its two wheels and capable of being inserted in a second toy having a suitable enclosure opening, where the second toy is driven, or contains mechanisms driven by, the wheels of the inertia motor insert.
