Abstract:
A toy figure having wing-flapping motion, said toy figure comprising:a body having an interior cavity, a head end and a tail end;a head pivotally coupled to said head end to facilitate head movement side-to-side relative to said body;a pair of barrel segments pivotally supported within said interior cavity, each of said barrel segments having a forward end supporting a cam and a rearward end supporting a leg post, said pair of barrel segments including a first spring coupled between said barrel segments to urge said barrel segments to pivot such that said leg posts are pivoted apart;a pair of wings each wing being coupled to one of said barrel segments;a pair of legs each leg being coupled to one of said leg posts;a cam follower and head coupler for converting movement of said cams to said side-to-side movement of said head,wherein said legs can pivot inwardly, causing said barrel segments to pivot in a first direction, and then said legs can pivot back outwardly, causing said barrel segments to pivot in a second direction whereby repetitively squeezing said legs together and moving them apart causes said wings to flap and said head to move side-to-side.
