〔Effect of the invention〕

As described above, according to the present invention, the toy body pushes the actuating piece rearward through the engagement recess by the force on the outside due to the rotation of the force disk, and in conjunction with this, the rear leg The body rotates forward (1) and moves away from the landing surface, and as the center of gravity moves, it lands on its buttocks, and therefore it exhibits a movement state in which it is sitting with its hind legs protruding forward.Also, along with this, the force A disk rotates. The pressure-receiving part of the sliding shaft is pressed by the pressing part formed inside the sliding shaft, and the switching gear is automatically engaged with the output gear by moving the sliding shaft, thereby rotating the crank arm of the crankshaft. The body of both ears and the nose are moved forward and backward through the actuating plate, so that the toy body can move both ears back and forth greatly while seated, and vigilance can be used to chew food and mumble the mouth part. present.

In addition, the cam disk is further rotated, and the outer cam pulls and moves the actuating piece forward, and the rear leg body widens rearward around its crankshaft (rotated and lands on the floor, thus causing the toy to move). exhibits an operating state such as standing up from a seated state.

If the pressing part on the inside of the cam disc exerts less pressure on the pressure-receiving part of the sliding shaft than in the above case, the movement of the sliding shaft releases the meshing with the output gear, while automatically meshing with the arm drive gear. As the arm drive gear rotates, the front leg body attached to the crank arm of the crankshaft is moved back and forth around the support rod, and the rear leg body, which is linked via the interlocking rod, is also moved back and forth. In this case, the front and rear legs are mounted on crank arms that are bent in the same direction of the crankshaft, so the left and right front and rear legs are attached simultaneously and alternately. It separates from the floor and the landing surface, and therefore, due to this repeated movement and its reaction, the toy body exhibits a movement state as if it is moving forward while jumping greatly, and the overall action is a large action like the ecological movement of an animal, and the result that the animal has. It is possible to reliably induce a moving state full of motion, and it is extremely interesting and can increase the desire to purchase.
