Abstract
Abstract A toy music rocking chair comprises a music box and a transmission system. The transmission system further consists of an arm fixed to the shaft of the music box, a stub extending from the arm, a reciprocating plate having a lateral slot for the stub to fit in, a reciprocating rod and a slide mechanism connected to the reciprocating rod and installed in the head of the doll rocker serving as eyes so that when the shaft turns, the rotary motion of the stub can be changed into reciprocating motion of the reciprocating plate and rod which, in turn, cause the rocking chair to sway back and forth, and the eyelids to open and close as though the doll rocker is sleepy.

Claim 5
Dependent Claim
224 words
A toy device adapted for movement comprising: a) a music box supported on the toy device, the music box including a rotatable driving shaft having a protruding end, the music box comprising a power source for causing movement of the toy device; b) a transmission system including a rotatable element secured to the protruding end of the driving shaft so as to rotate therewith; c) a stub extending from the rotatable element so as to rotate therewith; and, d) a reciprocating plate defining a follower surface in contact with the stub such that rotary motion of the rotatable driving shaft of the music box causes rotary motion of the rotatable element which, in turn, causes rectilinear reciprocating motion of the plate whereby such rectilinear motion of the plate imparts movement to the toy device. .Iaddend. .Iadd.4. The toy device according to claim 3 further comprising guide means operatively associated with the reciprocating plate to guide during its reciprocating movement. .Iaddend. .Iadd.5. The toy device according to claim 4 wherein the guide means is associated with the music box. .Iaddend. .Iadd.6. The toy device according to claim 3 wherein the toy has movable elements and further comprising: a) a reciprocating rod operatively attached to the reciprocating plate so as to reciprocate therewith; and, b) means attaching the rod to the movable elements such that reciprocation
