Abstract
A toy, as for instance a simulated toy computer, has a housing with a window formed in the housing. Behind the window is an indicia strip or carrier which has indicia located on its surface. Positioned in front of the indicia strip is a lenticular screen. The lenticular screen is connected to a mechanism which mechanically moves the lenticular screen with respect to the indicia. Movement of the lenticular screen in front of the indicia gives the appearance that the indicia, in fact, is moving. Actuator keys are provided on the housing for advancing the indicia strip and for activating the movement of the lenticular screen.
