Abstract
A school utensil and toy is provided which includes a support member, two leg members rotatably connected to the support member and two foot members rotatably connected to the leg members. At least one of the foot members includes an ink pen which can be retracted into the foot member when not in use. The school utensil and toy also includes members having features that are esthetically pleasing to children such that children will be enticed to play with the utensil and toy. These features may include rotatable arms and a head member. The school utensil and toy can be employed either as a compass, divider, ball point pen or as a toy having two legs such as a robot or a doll.
Claims15
A school utensil and toy robot comprising a support constituting a nucleus of a robot body having aesthetically pleasing features to a child, said support including a base portion and a rod portion extending upward from said base portion;
- a head means fixed onto the upper end of said rod portion;
- a trunk means joined to said rod portion of said support so as to surround the same in discrete relationship thereto;
- a pair of arm members joined to said trunk member;
- a shaft provided in said base portion of said support so as to extend perpendicular thereto;
- at least two leg members fitted by their upper end portions around said shaft;
- foot members having at least one flat surface, one foot member being movably attached to the bottom of each leg member;
- means for writing provided in at least one of the foot members;
- wherein said head, trunk, arm and foot members complement one another so as to be capable of simulating a toy robot and wherein said foot members are arrangeable with said flat surfaces against a generally level supporting surface to support the utensil and toy in a freestanding position.
A school utensil and toy robot according to claim 24, wherein said base portion of said support comprises front and rear parallel vertical plates and a horizontal plate connecting the upper ends of said two vertical plates, said rod portion being supported on the upper surface of said horizontal plate, and said shaft being fixedly provided between said vertical plates.
A school utensil and toy comprising:
- a support member including a base member and a rod, said rod extending outward from said base member;
- two elongated leg members rotatably connected to said support member, said leg members being free to rotate relative to each other;
- foot members rotatably connected to said leg members said foot members each having at least one flat surface arrangeable to support the school utensil and toy robot on a relatively level surface in a freestanding position;
- at least one of said foot members including means for writing;
- and
- first members which include a pair of arm members rotatably connected to said rod, an annular portion abutting said rod and an extended portion in the shape of an arm extending outward from said annular portion, said first members further defining a head mounted at one end of said rod, the first members having features aesthetically pleasing to children, said first members defining robotomorphic features capable of cooperating to simulate a toy robot;
- said first members being attached to said support members.
A school utensil and toy comprising:
- a support member;
- two elongated leg members rotatably connected to said support member, said leg members being free to rotate relative to each other;
- foot members rotatably connected to said leg members said foot members each having at least one flat surface arrangeable to support the school utensil and toy robot on a relatively level surface in a freestanding position;
- at least one of said foot members including means for writing;
- first members having features aesthetically pleasing to children, said first members defining anthropomorphic features capable of cooperating to simulate a toy robot;
- said first members being attached to said support members;
- and
- restriction means slidably mounted on said leg members;
- said restriction means being slidable between at least two positions with respect to said leg members comprising a locking position wherein said restriction means prevents said leg members from rotating relative to each other and an open position wherein said restriction means does not restrict the relative movement of the leg members.
A school utensil and toy comprising:
- a support member;
- two-elongated leg members rotatably connected to said support member, said leg members free to rotate relative to each other;
- foot members rotatably connected to said leg members said foot members each having at least one flat surface arrangeable to support the school utensil and toy robot on a relatively level surface in a freestanding position;
- at least one of said foot members including means for writing wherein said foot members are each rotatable between at least two positions, a first position wherein said foot members are positioned such that said writing means extends in a direction longitudinal of said leg members, and a second position wherein said flat surfaces are positioned as bottom surfaces approximately perpendicular to the elongated direction of the leg members;
- and
- first members having features aesthetically pleasing to children, said first members defining anthropomorphic features capable of cooperating to simulate a toy robot;
- said first members being attached to said support members.
