Manual device for lengthening or shortening the nose of a puppet

摘要

The head of the puppet (3,3') has a cavity (30) and a long nose (4) moves backwards and forwards through a slot (34) in the head. A rod (5) is fixed to the head and passes through the slot and into a axial cavity (40) in the inner end of the nose. The nose is moved manually by a lever (1) that pivots on a horizontal pivot (2), inside the cavity in the head. One arm (11) of the lever is joined to the base of the nose by a ring (6). The other arm (10) extends beyond the head.
