Abstract
A three-dimensional toy representation of a figure such as an animal, e.g. a goat, which includes an outer body and a head pivotally mounted on the body which may be manually shifted between an upright and a lower position. The head includes an opening representative of a mouth and a conveyer mechanism inside the body extends into the head and has a portion located close to the mouth opening. Articles representative of solid or relatively solid 'food,' such as carrots, tin cans, etc., can be introduced into the mouth. The articles may be physically grasped by the conveyer mechanism and moved into an interior compartment. A portion of the path of movement of the articles may be upward or partially upward. The conveyer mechanism can be operated by manually actuating a portion of the animal figure, such as reciprocatively shifting a tail thereon. A lower jaw on the animal figure may be caused by the conveyer mechanism to move up and down to represent a chewing action when the food articles are introduced into the mouth and while they are being moved by the conveyer mechanism. A removable access member on the side of the animal, representative of a side-pack, can be removed so that the child-user can retrieve the solid food articles.
