Abstract:
An action toy having articulated members capable of coordinated movement, comprising:a base;a first member connected to said base for motion about a first axis with respect to said base;a second member connected to said first member for motion about a second axis with respect to said first member; and,a cable having a first end attached to said base at a first attachment point spaced from said first axis and having a second end attached to said second member at a second attachment point spaced from said second axis, said first member having a portion slidably engaging said cable so that relative motion of said first member with respect to said base in a direction away from the first attachment point increases the distance between the first attachment point and the portion of said first member that engages said cable, causing said cable to draw on said second member and causing said second member to rotate about the second axis with respect to said first member.
