Abstract
A toy has a housing with a surface therein. Located underneath the surface is a pivot member which carries a carriage member thereon. The pivot member rotates about an axis of rotation, and the carriage member slides on the pivot member so as to move radially inwardly and outwardly from the axis of rotation. The carriage member carries a first magnet. An object carrying a second magnet is located on the top of the surface. Movement of the first magnet underneath the surface is communicated to the object on top of the surface via magnetic coupling between the two magnets. The combination of the rotational movement of the pivot member and the linear radial movement of the carriage member, results in complex movement of the object on the surface of the housing.
