Abstract
A rockable toy with a reflecting mirror includes a body having a bottom surface which is outwardly curved in all directions, and a center of gravity which is situated within the region bounded by the bottom wall, so that the toy will have a tendency to oscillate about a stable position in which the center of gravity is situated above the point of contact of the toy with the underlying surface. The body carries a mirror which shares in the oscillatory movement of the body when displaced out of the stable position. The body carries, outside the periphery of the mirror, a head whose reflection can be seen in the mirror by the observer, together with a background which rapidly changes during the oscillatory motion of the toy. The head is connected to the body for movement relative thereto at least in two opposite directions. The body is of a rigid synthetic plastic material, while the head is of a flexible material so that it can be squeezed. When the head is squeezed, air rushes out of it through a squeaking-sound producing device secured to the head. A chiming device is built-in into the body to produce chiming noises during the oscillatory motion of the toy.
