Child's toy with interlocking units - has flat base boxes housing shears to rotate mounted novelties

Abstract

Abstract Five units of a toy assembly has respective, identical, square, flat, plastic base boxes (11) to (15). A driving gear (16) is rotatably mounted in the box (11), and respective follower gears (17) are mounted in the boxes (12) to (15). The four corners (18) of each base box may be locked to a corner of each other box by means of mating recesses (18a) and projections (18b). When two units are coupled to each other in such a manner that respective side faces are contiguously adjacent and the bottom faces are in a common plane, teeth of respective gears in the base boxes project outward of the associated base box through apertures (19) in the four side faces and meshingly engage each other.
