Transmission of vibrations to a body creating realistic sensations in mechanical toys

An apparatus for transmitting a vibration to a body, comprising:

• an arm coupled at a first end to a body and including a finger portion at a second end;
• a cam rotatably coupled to the body and in biased engagement with the finger portion of the arm, the cam including one or more protuberances on a surface perimeter for engagement with the finger portion;
• a sound element having sound effects circuitry with an audio speaker for producing sounds emitted from the audio speaker;
• and
• wherein vibrations are transmitted to the body as the finger portion contacts one or more protuberances when the cam is rotated and wherein the cam oscillates back and forth when rotated, with the sound element producing sounds emitted from the audio speaker occurring around the time the vibration is transmitted to the body.

An apparatus for transmitting a vibration to a body, comprising:

• an arm coupled at a first end to a body and including a finger portion at a second end;
• a cam rotatably coupled to the body and in biased engagement with the finger portion of the arm, the cam including one or more protuberances on a surface perimeter for engagement with the finger portion wherein vibrations are transmitted to the body as the finger portion contacts one or more protuberances when the cam is rotated;
• and
• a covering for an animated toy laying adjacent the arm wherein the vibration is transmitted to the covering when the cam is rotated.

An apparatus for transmitting a vibration to a body, comprising

• an arm coupled at a first end to a body and including a finger portion at a second end;
• a cam rotatably coupled to the body and in biased engagement with the finger portion of the arm, the cam including an elliptical surface perimeter for engagement with the finger portion;
• and
• wherein vibrations are transmitted to the body as the finger portion contacts the elliptical cam surface perimeter transmitting a vibration to the body when the cam is rotated.

An apparatus for transmitting a vibration to a body covering of an animated toy, comprising:

• an arm pivotably coupled at a first end to a body and including a finger portion at a second end;
• a covering laying adjacent an uneven surface of the arm;
• a cam rotatably coupled to the body and including one or more protuberances on a surface perimeter for engagement with the finger portion of the arm;
• and
• a biasing spring coupled to the arm for keeping the finger portion in contact with the cam surface;
• wherein the spring biased finger portion contacts said one or more protuberances when the cam is rotated transmitting a vibration to the body covering.
