Abstract
A novelty item having extending appendages which are supported by springs so as to impart life-like movement thereto.
Claims15
A novelty simulating figure having extending movable elements comprising the combination of said novelty having a body, at least a pair of extending members supported only from said body in about symmetrical fashion, each said pair of extending members having only coil spring means securing each of said pair of extending members to said body in a movable relationship therewith;
- the area of each said extending member adjacent said coil springs having a reinforcement portion including a bulbous protrusion engaging at least a portion of one said coil spring.
A novelty figure having wing-flapping motion;
- said novelty figure comprising:
- a body having a head end and a tail end;
- each of a pair of wings juxtapositioned and secured to said body in a symmetrical fashion and being supported therefrom by only at least one coil spring element, said coil spring element having a spring constant that allows said pair of wings to move relative to said body when a relatively low force is imparted thereto;
- the area of each said wing adjacent said coil springs having an enlarged cross-sectional area whereby reinforcement of said wing is obtained, each said cross-sectional area defining a bulbous protrusion disposed at least partially about each said coil spring.
A novelty simulating figure having extending movable elements comprising the combination of said novelty having a body, at least a pair of extending members supported only from said body in about symmetrical fashion, each of said pair of extending members having only coil spring means securing each of said pair of extending members to said body in a movable relationship therewith, said body having hanging means by which said novelty simulating figure may be suspended from a fixed support;
- said hanging means including a spring;
- said body being provided with a recess adapted to receive a container in supported relationship therewith.
A novelty simulating figure having extending movable elements comprising the combination of said novelty having a body, at least a pair of extending members supported only from said body in about symmetrical fashion, each said pair of extending members having only coil spring means securing each of said pair of extending members to said body in a movable relationship therewith;
- the area of each said extending member adjacent said coil springs having an enlarged cross-sectional area whereby reinforcement of said extending member is obtained;
- said body being provided with threaded fastening means for threadably receiving a support means;
- said threaded fastening means having opposed flanges receiving a wall of said body therebetween so as to securely retain said threaded fastening means relative to said body.
