A hoppity toy system comprising a hoppity toy figure;
- and means for channelling the motion of said toy in a prescribed way, said figure having feet guided by the channelling means which includes side walls having a height at least equal to but less than three times the height of said feet, and a separation about eight times the height of said feet;
- wherein the channelling means guides the hoppity toy figure into an auxiliary device, in the form of an elevator including a control lever operated by said hoppity toy figure;
- said control lever having three distinctive positions.
The hoppity toy system of claim No. 1 wherein the channellng means comprises a track which confines the motion of said toy to said prescribed way.
The hoppity toy system of claim No. 1 wherein said toy figure is counter-balanced with respect to its feet and releases stored energy when placed on its feet.
The hoppity toy system of claim No. 3 wherein the channelling means comprises a track having side rails between which the feet of said figure are confined.
The hoppity toy system of claim No. 1 wherein said hoppity toy figure is guided from said auxiliary device.
The hoppity toy system of claim No. 1 wherein said control lever is moved from its first position to a second position at an upper level of said elevator, and from said second position to a third position at a lower level of said elevator.
