Abstract
This invention provides a moveable toy with a trigger control mechanism which has: a main body for defining the toy; a frame disposed within the main body; at least one acting means being able to reserve energy for generating an acting force and having a member for triggering the acting force; and a trigger control means installed in the frame and adapted to reserve energy for generating a rotating force by which the member of the above-mentioned acting means can be actuated and the acting force of the acting means can be triggered and released.
Claims8
A toy comprising:
- acting means for generating an acting force, said acting means having a member for triggering the acting force;
- rotating means adapted to be driven by a rotating force for carrying out a primary action;
- at least one rocking arm having a first end and a second end;
- a rotatable can drum with an exterior cam surface;
- tongues disposed on said cam surface, so that as said cam drum is rotated causing a tongue to urge against said second end of said rocking arm, said first end is caused to rock and thereby actuate said acting means;
- and
- a gear train for reducing and transmitting the rotating force to said rotating means.
4 more elements
A toy comprising:
- a frame disposed within a main body;
- at least one acting means (102) biased to store energy for generating an acting force and having a member (102a) for triggering the acting force;
- trigger control means (3,4) installed in said frame, said trigger control means comprising:
- at least one self-retrievable rocking arm (41) having a fulcrum (413), a first end (412) disposed in one side of the fulcrum (413) which is adapted to actuate the member (102a) when the rocking arm (41) is rocked, and a second end (411) disposed on the other side of the fulcrum (413);
- cam means (3) adapted to be driven by the rotating force, said cam means comprising a rotatable cam drum (31) having an exterior surface with means for rocking the second end (411) of the rocking arm (41) when the cam drum (31) is in a rotating state,
- wherein said trigger control means is adapted to reserve energy for generating a rotating force, by which the member can be actuated and the acting force of said acting means can be triggered and released;
- rotating means (21) which is adapted to be driven by the rotating force for carrying out a primary action;
- and
- a gear train (2) adapted to reduce and transmit the rotating force from said trigger control means (3,4) to said rotating means (21).
