Motion toy

Abstract

A motion toy is constructed to include a base, a body supported on the base, a swivel head coupled to the body at a top side, the head having a beak pivoted thereto, a power drive mounted inside the body and adapted to rotate the swivel head alternatively forwards and backwards and to turn the beak alternatively up and down, and sensor means installed in the base and controlled to drive the power drive.

What the invention claimed is:  
     
         1 . A motion toy comprising 
 a base;    a hollow body supported on said base, said body comprised of two symmetrical half shells abutted against each other;    a hollow swivel head formed of two symmetrical half shells and coupled to said hollow body at a top side, said swivel head comprising a plurality of inside locating rods, and a beak pivoted to one of said inside locating rods;    a power drive mounted inside said body and adapted to rotate said swivel head, said power drive comprising a casing, a holder fixedly mounted on said casing a rotary cap fastened to said swivel head and supported on said holder, a motor installed in a bottom side of said casing, and a transmission mechanism coupled between said motor and said rotary cap and adapted to rotate said rotary cap and said swivel head forwards and backwards and to turn said beak alternatively up and down; and    sensor means installed in said base and controlled to drive said motor of said power drive.    
     
     
         2 . The motion toy as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein said transmission mechanism comprises a drive wheel drive wheel fixedly mounted on an output shaft of said motor, a driven gear wheel, a transmission belt coupled to said drive wheel and said driven gear wheel, and a series of transmission gears including a first transmission gear meshed with said driven gear wheel, a second transmission gear meshed with said first transmission gear, and a third transmission gear meshed with said second transmission gear.  
     
     
         3 . The motion toy as claimed in  claim 2 , wherein said transmission mechanism further comprises an output gear fixedly mounted on a gear shaft of said second transmission gear.  
     
     
         4 . The motion toy as claimed in  claim 3 , wherein said transmission mechanism further comprises an output wheel fixedly mounted on a gear shaft of said third transmission gear, said output wheel comprising an eccentric rod upwardly extended from a top side thereof.  
     
     
         5 . The motion toy as claimed in  claim 4 , wherein said holder comprises a plurality of through holes and a plurality of upright guide rods; said rotary cap comprises a center through hole and two opposite arched slots respectively coupled to the upright guide rods of said holder, an internal gear, a plurality of upright rods, and a locating plate coupled to said upright rods and adapted to move said beak, said locating plate having a slot.  
     
     
         6 . The motion toy as claimed in  claim 5 , wherein said output gear of said transmission mechanism is inserted through one through hole of said holder and meshed with the internal gear of said rotary cap.  
     
     
         7 . The motion toy as claimed in  claim 5 , wherein said output wheel is inserted through one through hole of said holder and the through hole of said rotary cap, keeping said eccentric rod coupled to the slot of said locating plate.  
     
     
         8 . The motion toy as claimed in  claim 7 , wherein said swivel head further comprises a stop plate perpendicularly downwardly extended from an inner end of said beak and adapted to be driven by said locating plate to turn said beak upon rotary motion of said output wheel, a hook perpendicularly backwardly extended from a back side of said stop plate, and a spring connected between said hook and one of said inside locating rods.  
     
     
         9 . The motion toy as claimed in  1 , wherein said beak has a front end extending out of the half shells of said swivel head.  
     
     
         10 . The motion toy as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein said base is formed integral with said hollow body.
