Beit known that I, WeNeEsLAUs F. Miko-- LASER, acitizen of the United States, residing at Vodnany, in the-county of Bonhomme 'and State of ,South Dakota, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Toys, of which the followingis a specification. Y
This invention contemplates certain new and useful improvements in automatic toys of that type in which the toy simulates a 'human or other ligure and is arranged to walk, and the invention has for its object an 'improved construction of toy of this type Wluch will be positive in action and of comparatively simple construction and capable of a variety of uses and motions.
. With these'and other objects in. view, as will r'nore fully appear as the description prnceeds, the invention consistsl in certain constructions, arrangements and combinations .of theparts that I shall hereinafter fully describe and'clairn. Y
For a full understandin@r of the invention and the meritsthereof and also to acquire a knowledge of the details of construction and the means for effecting the result, reference is to he had to the following description and accompanying drawings, in which.-v

The rod 5 is similarly provided with cranks 8, XPthat are one hundred and eighty dcgrees apart and ninety degrees ,from their complemented'cranks 6 and 6, and the rod 5 is a so formed with two relatively small cranks 9, Q set parallel. to the cranks 7, 7a, respectively. nected together by a rod 79 and the corre sponding cranks 7 L* and 9 are connected by a similar rod 79u.-

These sliding connections in the present instance are constituted by collars 18 and 19a, slidingly mounted ori the respective rods 16 and 17.

This casing contains sand, and as it is tiltedfrom side to side under the influence of the cranks and the rods 2O and 21, it is manifest that the reponderance of wei ht of" the sand on the ower side or end of t e tank will throw `the proper amount of Weight on the leg ;whic is on the ground while the other leg is beingcarried upwardlyA and forwardly. In orderto actuate the various parts, the
415 shaft or rod 3 may be provided with a miter gear wheel 2`4`\meshing. with a similar gear Wheel 25 driven by 'a spring or other motor 26, said motor bemgsupported on a standard 27 in the lower end of the body portion or-ca`sing 1. i
