Abstract
A toy milkable figure representative of an animal of the type capable of dispensing milk. The figure has a pivotally mounted head which may be pushed downwardly from an upper position to a lower position where a mouth opening in the head is immersed in liquid. The figure has a pivotally mounted tail which may be pumped up and down to create a liquid pumping action. The figure has an udder that forms a liquid holding chamber and has one or more flexible and squeezable teats. When the head is lowered into the liquid supply and the tail pumped, liquid is drawn into the mouth opening and delivered into the udder chamber. A liquid intake limiting mechanism causes the head to automatically raise out of the liquid after a predetermined amount of pumping. The teat has a valve device at its inner end whereby when the teat is squeezed the valve device closes to limit liquid flow back into the udder chamber and there is a positive squirting discharge from an outer aperture of the teat representative of that of a real animal. If the amount of liquid introduced into the udder is excessive, an overflow device allows the excess to escape through another teat. A sound generating device is coupled to the head to generate a mooing sound when the head raises.
