;2l is'a ratchetelso. secured upon the shaft 2 5 l9, and the same is adapted to be engalged by a pawl22, earned upon a disk '23, oosely mounted upon the shaft 19, and said disk is provided upon its outer face with a spurggear 24, meshing witha segmental gear 25 an trolled mechanism'26, provided with an operating-crank'27, projecting from the front of. the. case, the normal position of the segmental car being shown in full lines, Fig. 2,.a coile spring 28 normally same in lowered position, the dOWIfiWli-l'd movemeptlg thfi same bein limited a 29, n t esegmenta ear 25 is to assume the position in otted outline a,

mounted upon the shaft 19, will rotate upon said shaft without communicating 'IBOHQH thereto. However, on the return of the disk 23 and the gear 24 the pawl 22,ca1ried by the disk, wil engage a tooth 5. upon the ratchet 21 and rotate theshaft 19 1 approximately a quarter-tum, the carrier bemg consequently rotated the required extent'through the medium of the bevel-gears 17 and 18.. Loosely mounted u on the shaft iie disk 23 b -rod 30, so as to operatesimu a connect' disk, is a ca late 31,

tafieously with said having the configura'tion shown, 1: e same being adapted to vibrate once through a 5 5 quarter-turn when the coin-controlled mechamsm is operated. Mounted upon the top of the case and extending downwardly through a perforation therein is a tubular ide 32, the same bein arranged above and ate 31, being slotted lengthwise as indicated at 33,'-to permit the earn-plate to pass axially therethrough.

Fig. 2, the gear 24 and disk 23 Disposed within the tubular guide 32 and having a free sliding movmncnt therein is another tube 34, held against rotation by afprojection 35 thereon, operating along one o the slots 33. At the upper end of the tube 34 is mounted a cradle 36, constructed of longitudinal and transverse bands 37, adapted to firmly sup ort the figure-body, the weight of the cm e and the tube 34, together with the weight-of the figure, being sufiicient to normally maintain t em in lowered position. Having a sliding movement within the tube, 34 is a vertical rod 38, the lower end of which projects below the end of said tube the upper end projecting above the same and being bifurcated, the ends 39 being disposed be -neath the wings of the figure and engaging said wings adjacent to their point of attachment or articulation with the body. Rod 33 is held ormally in lowered position by the action of a light spring 40, carried by the eradie. It is now apparent that as the camplate 31 is vibrated the same will engage the ower end of the sliding rod 38 and also the lower end of the tube 34, the fi e-body be.- ing by this operation elevateflihd lowered and amovement imparted to the win s of the glare, the elevation of the figure-Eody and movement of the wings occurring at diifernt times and roducing an extremely lifelike effect. It will thus be seen that the operation of the coin-controlled mechanism will initially operate the figure in the mannor herein described, the movement of the figure being then followed by the rotation of the carrier to cause a delivery of an egg in the rece tacle 11; A though I have herein specifically illustrated tion I- do not desire to limit myself to the exact construction shown, since it is apparent that modification and changes in detail may be made therein and the entire invention or segregable parts appropriated and embodied in such a way as not to constitute a substantial departure.
