Support for figure having movable members and means for moving same in response to acceleration or deceleration

A moveable device for supporting a moveable figure comprising a base having an upwardly-directed surface, means on said base including edges for supporting said base on a horizontal surface with said upwardly-directed surface in generally horizontal position and the device in operative position, means defining a longitudinal supporting path on said upwardly-directed surface, means including a roller supported on said path having an axis extending transversely thereto and freely moveable along said path under the influence of acceleration and deceleration of said device, said path having at each end means for limiting the movement of said roller, means including a superstructure mounted on said base for carrying a moveable figure on said device, said superstructure having moveable members pivotally mounted thereon, and mechanical transmission means connecting said roller to said moveable members, for transmitting the movement of said roller thereto said supporting path having a slightly upwardly convex curvature so that both ends thereof are disposed at a slightly lower level than the center portion of the path in the operative position of the device.
