Abstract
A movable doll's head having two randomly selected movements, one a nodding movement signifying a 'yes' answer, and the other a turning or 'shaking' movement signifying a 'no' answer. The doll's head is mounted on a support plate which is pivotally mounted for movement about a pair of axes. An actuating element, such as a playing card, may be introduced into the device so as to engage a portion of the support plate at a point offset from both axes of movement, thereby tending to cause movement about both the axes. However, a latch is operatively engageable with the support plate, to thereby cause movement to occur about only one of the axes. A camming wheel is randomly rotated by the movement of the card into and out of the device, with the resultant position of the camming wheel determining the latched or unlatched position of the latch. This in turn produces movement of the head on a random basis.
