Abstract:
A telephone actuated driving mechanism for moving a movable part of an ornamental doll, the driving mechanism comprising:a) a housing configured to be located within the ornamental doll; b) a telephone actuated circuit located within the housing and comprising: a circuit board with a microphone output and power control circuit, a voice frequency magnifier circuit, a power supplying and recharging circuit and a regulating and filtering circuit; a speaker connected to the circuit board; and an electronic switch adapted to be connected to a telephone whereby sounds transmitted from the telephone are played through the speaker; c) a driving mechanism comprising: a casing at least partially located within the housing, the casing having an upper part extending from the housing; a movable handle movably mounted to the casing and extending therefrom adjacent to the upper part, the movable handle extending from the housing and having an elongated transverse hole through a portion located within the casing; an eccentric cam engaging the transverse hole and rotatably mounted within the casing; and a drive motor located within the casing and drivingly connected to the eccentric cam so as to rotate the eccentric cam, rotation of the eccentric cam causing linear reciprocating movement of the movable handle; and, d) a driven mechanism comprising: an upper leg plate connected to the movable handle so as to move therewith; and a lower lip plate movable with respect to the upper lip plate, whereby movement of the movable handle toward the casing causes engagement of the lower lip plate with the upper part of the casing thereby causing the lower lip plate to move relative to the upper lip plate.
