Toy animal figures representing parent animal and offspring

A toy animal apparatus comprising a first toy animal figure representative of a mother animal figure and said mother animal figure being comprised of:

• (a) a body having an interior chamber and an access opening leading to said chamber, and said chamber having a size to receive a second toy animal figure representing a baby offspring of said mother animal figure,
• (b) conveyor means in said chamber for supporting and moving said baby animal figure outwardly from said chamber through said access opening,
• (c) closure means over said access opening to hide said chamber from view and being shiftable to permit said baby animal to pass through said access opening,
• (d) first actuable means associated with said body and being operatively connected to said conveyor means for causing movement of said conveyor means when actuated, and
• (e) second actuable means associated with said body and being operatively connected to said closure means for causing movement of said closure means when actuated, such that the baby animal figure will be moved out through the access opening representing birth of the baby animal figure upon actuation of said first and second actuable means, said conveyor means comprising a continuous conveyor belt.

A toy animal apparatus comprising:

• (a) a first toy animal figure representative of a mother animal, said mother animal being comprised of:
• (1) a body having an interior chamber and an access opening leading into said chamber,
• (2) movable means in said chamber, and
• (3) actuable means associated with said body and being operatively connected to said movable means for causing movement of said movable means when actuated,
• (b) a second toy animal figure representing a baby offspring of mother animal figure, said baby animal figure being comprised of:
• (1) a body having a size smaller than that of said chamber in the body of the mother animal figure,
• (2) at least one limb pivotally connected to the body of said baby animal figure and being shiftable to lie adjacent to the body of said baby animal figure so as to fit within said chamber and so that said baby animal figure will be moved out through the access opening representing birth of the baby animal upon actuation of said actuable means, said limb also being shiftable to a position where it extends outwardly from the body of said baby animal figure such that the baby animal figure has a size larger than said access opening in at least one dimension when such limb is extended, said movable means comprising a continuous conveyor belt and said actuable means being on said body of said mother animal figure and being manually actuable.

A toy animal figure apparatus comprising:

• (a) a hollow body having an interior chamber and an opening leading into said chamber,
• (b) a conveyor mechanism in said chamber and including a conveyor surface with a portion located in close proximity to said opening,
• (c) a closure member shiftable over said access opening,
• (d) a mechanism operatively connected to said closure member causing said closure member to move from a closed position over said opening to an open position where said closure member is shifted away from said opening,
• (e) means operatively connecting said conveyor mechanism and the mechanism for operating said closure member so that said conveyor mechanism is actuated and causes operation of said mechanism to shift said closure member to the open position, and
• (f) manually actuable means on said body operatively connected to said conveyor mechanism to actuate same in response to the operation of said mechanically actuable means.
