Bobblehead key chain

A bobblehead key chain, comprising:

• a head comprising
• a top opening located on an upper surface of the head,
• a bottom opening located on a lower surface of the head,
• an interior space formed between the top opening and the bottom opening, and
• a mounting feature having a pair of recesses, the mounting feature located within the interior space;
• a pivot mechanism disposed through the head and extending through the top opening of the head and the bottom opening of the head, the pivot mechanism having
• a spine having a top end and a bottom end,
• a connection feature at the top end of the spine, and
• an axle that extends from the spine and is retained by the pair of recesses;
• and
• a body connected to the bottom end of the spine such that the body is spaced below the lower surface of the head.

A method of making a bobblehead key chain, comprising the steps of:

• constructing a pivot mechanism, wherein the pivot mechanism comprises:
• a spine having an upper end and a lower end;
• an axle extending from the spine, and
• a connection feature above the axle at the upper end of the spine;
• forming a head around the spine of the pivot mechanism, the head having
• a top opening in an upper surface of the head;
• a bottom opening in a lower surface of the head such that the axle is retained in a mounting feature of the head and the spine extends through the top opening and bottom opening, wherein the step of forming the head around the spine further comprises the step of connecting a first portion of the head to a second portion of the head;
• fastening the connection feature to a key ring;
• and
• forming a body at the lower end of the spine, such the body and the spine are a unitary piece and the body is spaced below the lower surface of the head.
