Abstract

A character includes legs that pivot as well as move up and down relative to the torso either in an alternating, out of phase, walking simulating motion or simultaneously, in phase, to simulate rocking, as selected by the user. Movement of the legs is effected by a reversible motor driving a pair of crank disks that engage the legs connected to the torso by a pin received in a slot. One disk is fixed to the shaft and the other disk is rotatable about the shaft but is engaged by a peg that is received in a semicircular recess in a face of the other disk to, depending on the direction of rotation of the shaft, either drive the other disk in phase with the fixed disk or out of phase with the fixed disk.
