Abstract
Abstract A motion toy consists of a toy body and a power feeder. The toy body contains a driving mechanism for driving a movement mechanism and a fixed terminal on one side thereof. The power feeder is provided independently of the toy body and formed in a desired shape and has a connection terminal which can be detachably connected to the fixed terminal. The driving mechanism for driving the movement mechanisms is provided within the head of the toy body, and the fixed terminal is arranged within the mouth of the toy. The power feeder is shaped like a feeding bottle containing batteries, and the connection terminal thereof is shaped like the mouthpiece of the feeding bottle.

Claim 1
Independent Claim
241 words
A mammal motion toy characterized by comprising a holding toy body (1) shaped like a baby of a small animal having a head (2), a trunk (3), ears (9), a nose (12) and a mouth (13) with a fixed electric terminal (28), and a power feeder (76) provided independently of said toy body (1), shaped like a cylindrical feeding bottle having therein batteries (87) and an electric connection terminal (79) connectable removably with said fixed electric terminal (28) and shaped as a mouthpiece similar to a teat, said toy body (1) being coated with a soft napped coat (4) so napped that it feels like a baby of a small animal, said head (2) having therein a head frame (17) for holding the shape of the head, said head frame (17) having therein a first cam plate (52) contacting a linkage connected to a first ear and a second cam plate (53) contacting a linkage connected to a second ear for moving reciprocally and irregularly said ears (9), a crank shaft (41) connected to said nose for extending and retracting said nose (12), and an electric motor (19) connected to a gear train driving said crank shaft (41) and said first and second cam plates (52), (53), said electric motor (19) being connected electrically with said fixed electric terminal (28), and said trunk (3) being formed into a soft resilient bag (5) having therein finely chopped pieces of synthetic resin (16).

Claim 3
Dependent Claim
108 words
A mammal motion toy as claimed in claim 1, wherein said first and second cam plates (52), (53) arranged in said head frame (17) are fixed on both end portions of a driving shaft (50), a roughly rhombic peripheral engagement surface (54) engaging with an engagement piece (68) for oscillating one of said ears (9) is formed on said first cam plate (52), and a roughly triangular engagement surface (56) engaging with an engagement piece (68) for oscillating the other of said ears (9) is formed on said second cam plate (53), said driving shaft (50) being connected to said electric motor (19) through a gear-connecting mechanism (31).
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
86 words
A mammal motion toy as claimed in claim 1, wherein said crank shaft (41) arranged in said head frame (17) is mounted rotatably at one end thereof on a nose frame (45) connected to said nose (12) and movable up and down, and mounted rotatably at the other end thereof on one end of a lateral rod (39) having a nose-driving gear (38), said nose-driving gear (38) being meshed intermittently with a switching gear (35) connected to said electric motor (19) through a gear-connecting mechanism (31).
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
86 words
A mammal motion toy as claimed in claim 2, wherein said crank shaft (41) arranged in said head frame (17) is mounted rotatably at one end thereof on a nose frame (45) connected to said nose (12) and movable up and down, and mounted rotatably at the other end thereof on one end of a lateral rod (39) having a nose-driving gear (38), said nose-driving gear (38) being meshed intermittently with a switching gear (35) connected to said electric motor (19) through said gear-connecting mechanism (31).
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
110 words
A mammal motion toy as claimed in claim 3, wherein said switching gear (35) connected intermittently with said crank shaft (41) through said nose-driving gear (38) is fixed on a sliding shaft (34) urged by a spring (37), and a pressure receiver (36) formed at one end of said sliding shaft (34) is engaged with engaging recesses and projections (57), (58) formed on said second cam plate (53) for driving said ears (9), so that said switching gear (35) is moved forward and backward by the rotation of said engaging recesses and projections (57), (58) through said sliding shaft (34) which is moved forward and backward against said spring (37).
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
110 words
A mammal motion toy as claimed in claim 4, wherein said switching gear (35) connected intermittently with said crank shaft (41) through said nose-driving gear (38) is fixed on a sliding shaft (34) urged by a spring (37), and a pressure receiver (36) formed at one end of said sliding shaft (34) is engaged with engaging recesses and projections (57), (58) formed on said second cam plate (53) for driving said ears (9), so that said switching gear (35) is moved forward and backward by the rotation of said engaging recesses and projections (57), (58) through said sliding shaft (34) which is moved forward and backward against said spring (37).
