Abstract
A puppet of resilient material is formed of separate parts adapted to be assembled by snapping enlarged projections of some parts into restricted openings of other parts to hold them assembled while permitting relative movement between them.
Claims5
An articulated puppet having a hollow torso member of resilient material, said torso member being open at the bottom;
- aligned openings through the sides of said torso member adjacent the open bottom thereof;
- a pair of puppet legs having inner abutting surfaces at their upper ends, a first pivot pin projecting from one of said surfaces into an opening in the other surface pivotally joining said legs;
- a second pivot pin projecting outwardly from each of said legs, in axial alignment with said first pivot pin, and extending into said aligned openings in said torso member whereby said aligned pins define simulated hip joints for said puppet, said open bottom of said torso member being resiliently distortable to permit engagement and disengagement of said pivot pins in said aligned openings.
