A puppet mechanism for moving two legs of a puppet includes an output shaft rotatably extending from a gear box and engaged with a gear reduction device in the gear box. Two disks are respectively connected two ends of the output shaft and each disk has an eccentric protrusion extending therefrom. Two swing members are pivotally connected to two sides of the gear box and each swing member has a slot in which the eccentric protrusion is movably engaged. The swing members are inserted in the two legs of the puppet and are swung when the disks rotate.

The present invention is related to a motion expressible toy featuring an animal character, and more particularly to a motion expressible toy which is capable of expressing emotion or intention by taking the various kinds of body gesture characterized by the independent and the combined mechanism of a mouth, a head, arms and a main body as a whole body, and to thereby characterize a real gesture as a really living character such as a gesture of approval, denial or hesitation related to the communication circumstance, to thereby provide familiarity and curiosity to the children.

A stretchable toy figure which preferably has the ability to be altered from a first, unposable state to a second, posable state by reducing the pressure on the interior of the toy figure. The reduced pressure can also preferably alter the appearance of the toy figure. A manifold assembly for reducing the pressure on the interior of a toy figure includes two one-way valves. A valve through which air may be removed from the interior of the manifold includes a knob adapted to be associated with a device for reducing pressure. A second valve, when opened by a switch, allows air to enter the interior of the manifold when the pressure therein is below ambient pressure. The toy figure can alternatively utilize a single, two-way valve.

A motion toy consists of a toy body and a power feeder. The toy body contains a driving mechanism for driving a movement mechanism and a fixed terminal on one side thereof. The power feeder is provided independently of the toy body and formed in a desired shape and has a connection terminal which can be detachably connected to the fixed terminal. The driving mechanism for driving the movement mechanisms is provided within the head of the toy body, and the fixed terminal is arranged within the mouth of the toy. The power feeder is shaped like a feeding bottle containing batteries, and the connection terminal thereof is shaped like the mouthpiece of the feeding bottle.

A sensor switch assembly intended for use inside a simulated mouth of a doll. The assembly include a fixed structure having a guide channel and a micro-switch attached near the guide channel, a movable structure having a floating pivot that may pivot within and slide along the guide channel so that the micro-switch may be triggered by any combination of sliding or pivoting of the movable structure.
