SWIMMING FROG HAVING STOPS AND SURFACES CONTROLLING LEG MOVEMENT

摘要

The present invention relates to an animated aquatic animal; and more particularly relates to a frog-like body that moves through the water in a frog-like manner. The frog-like movement is achieved by a motor driven linkage that simulates a "frog kick"; the simulated frog kick being produced by a pair of thigh elements and leg elements that are pivotally mounted with relation to the frog-like body and with relation to each other. Stops limit relative pivoting of the thigh and leg elements. Foot surfaces on the leg elements coact with the liquid medium through which the body is driven to move the thigh and leg elements from one stopped position to the other as the leg elements are driven through their cycle of movement.
