Abstract
An animated toy figurine includes a simulated head and torso portion and the latter portion contains arms which carry a simulated broom. A hollow support member extends through the interior of the torso portion. The head is mounted to one end of the support member and the torso is rotatably mounted to the support member beneath the head. A plunger is carried within the support member for reciprocative movement therein. Mechanism is included which, responsive to reciprocative movement of the plunger, revolves the torso about the axis of the support member, clockwise and then counterclockwise, a predetermined arcuate extent, whereby the broom is moved simulating a sweeping action.
