Action figure with leg movement derived from arm movement

摘要

A first arm is mounted to a hollow torso (14) for lateral rocking movement about a first axis. A first leg (22) is mounted to the torso for pivotal movement about a second axis perpendicular to the first axis. The arm and leg are connected by an actuating mechanism contained within the torso. - The actuating mechanism causes pivoting of the first leg when the first arm is rocked. A second arm (18) and leg (24) are similarly mounted to the torso, and can be linked by a similar actuating mechanism. (5/14) USAB- US4578045 A The action figure includes two arms mounted to the figure's torso for rocking movement toward the torso about laterally spaced axes. The action figure also includes two legs that are mounted for pivotal movement to the torso in a scissors-like fashion. Integral with the rockable mounting for each arm is an inwardly extended shank, the shanks projecting into end portions of a coil spring. - When either arm is moved laterally toward the side of the torso, the spring is flexed into a V-shaped configuration. A link extends downwardly from the centre of the spring so that the flexing action imparted to the spring causes the link to move downwardly or upwardly. Each pivot mounting the leg includes a crank pin that is receivable in forwardly and rearwardly located slots at the lower end of the link.
