Game character whose bearing points follow a specific movement path

The present invention relates to a toy figure.

There are many toy figures that are translations of human, animal or other forms.

The special feature and the new thing about this toy is the implementation in a special movement track which in its bearing points (a) and (b) inevitably, dependent on each other, runs in opposite directions, yet is independent of time and can be reversed in any phase.

If this movement is initiated from the outside at the bearing points (V), (b), the figure is capable of special and new movements. These movements can be changed by changing the top and bottom or reversing them.

The movement track is in its ideal form a composite shape of a circular segment (&) and a straight

Part (b), connected via smaller circular sections (cj

In practical terms, an approximate shape is sufficient, such as that which can be achieved using mechanical rods.

If the movement track is now set up so that part ££T) is at the top and part (V) is at the bottom, one of the possible operating states is achieved.

The two bearing points (A), (b) are located on the movement track so that they follow each other during an initiated movement sequence.

It is desirable for the bearing points to be exactly opposite each other but not a requirement, since consciously changing these positions keeps the figure playable and creates further new movement sequences"

In part fs) above and opposite the bearing points (j£) , the individual links are now moved with and against each other, taking into account the center of gravity of the selected material of the individual links, so that a contortionist-like state is created. Since the reversal of the track is possible in every phase, a multitude of compound, reversing and flowing movements of the playing figure are possible, so that the impression of great fullness is created.

C ), &ngr;&iacgr;&Lgr; , and also vAj are inner bearing points.

A further change in the movement sequence is possible if a lock is set up at the joint (B\, which allows the joint r^ to be guided like a knee joint (i.e. no movement of limb 3 beyond the extension of the distance (S)(S)).

Additional limbs Z can represent arms that are free or have limited mobility. Individual limbs can also be present twice, as in the human figure.

Other ingredients may also be incorporated, but

V
have a more charming character.

A further change in the movement sequence can be achieved by relocating the bearing points (a), (b).
If they are moved into the pump (F), (d) 'another variation is added to the movement sequence.

It is also possible to design the construction in such a way that the shifting of the bearing points (a\, (b) to ,NDj is up to the player.
