Patent ID: 8747179

Claim:
A robot toy comprising: a robot-toy body including a control unit; and a controller which remotely controls the robot-toy body via the control unit wherein the robot-toy body includes: right and left arms each connected to a torso, wherein states of each of the right and left arms include a state of being extended forward and being pulled back, and wherein each of the right and left arms is pulled back by a predetermined biasing force in a normal condition; right and left legs each connected to a hip; right and left arm-actuating mechanisms provided at the right and left arms, respectively, wherein each of the arm-actuating mechanisms allows the corresponding arm to be extended forward of the robot-toy body against the biasing force; right and left thrust mechanisms provided at the right and left legs, respectively, wherein each of the thrust mechanisms allows the corresponding leg to push against a support so that the leg moves forward; and a driving unit which simultaneously drives the left arm-actuating mechanism and the left thrust mechanism as a first pair, and simultaneously drives the right arm-actuating mechanism and the right thrust mechanism as a second pair, wherein the driving unit drives one or the other of the first and second pairs at a time, wherein each of the right left arms includes an upper arm and a lower arm which are bent and stretched with respect to each other; when the right and left arms are pulled back, the upper arm and the lower arm of each of the right and left arms are bent with respect to each other, so that the robot-toy body assumes a ready position; when one of the right and left arms is extended forward, the upper arm and the lower arm of the extended arm are stretched with respect to each other; each of the thrust mechanisms includes a lever extending vertically in an interior of the corresponding leg, the lever being supported rotatably with a shaft such that a bottom end portion of the lever moves back and forth; a wheel provided at the bottom end portion of the lever; and a clutch mechanism which engages the wheel when the bottom end portion of the lever moves backward, and which releases the wheel when the bottom end portion of the lever moves forward; and wherein a movement of the lever allows the corresponding leg to move forward.
