Abstract
The toy action figure includes a body having one leg mounted for rocking movement toward and away from its other leg. The figure also includes one arm mounted for swinging movement about a generally vertical axis provided by a ball member on said arm and a ball cup integral with the figure's body. A motion-converting mechanism is contained within the body which mechanism comprises an actuating lever which is rocked when said one leg is rocked. The actuating lever includes a triangularly configured cam at its upper end having an angled cam edge which engages against an edge on a panel. The panel is integral with a transmission lever that constitutes an inverted T-shaped member and which pivots abouts its lower T-shaped end when the cam edge acts against the panel edge so as to cause a generally vertical pin of the upper end of the transmission lever to force in an angular direction a lever arm integral with a ball member on the arm to be swung. By means of a hairpin spring, the motion-converting mechanism, together with the actuated leg and the actuated arm, is returned to its inactive condition or state.
