Animated toy simulating real or fanciful creature

Abstract

The toy has a head and an elongated body. The lower wall of the toy frictionally resists movement thereof across a surface on which the toy is positioned. The toy is composed of material such as natural fur, synthetic fur, shag, felt, fabric, cloth, plush, velvet and Velcro. The material undulates to simulate the movement of a real or fanciful creature when a hand is moved along the length of said upper wall to apply a downward pressure therealong

1 . A toy simulating a real or fanciful creature and comprising a head; and an elongated body, said body having a lower surface which frictionally resists movement thereof along an uneven surface, said body being composed of a material which, when a downward force is applied thereto sufficient to cause a portion of said body to move downward, flexes upward in the area of said body surrounding said downward portion such that said body undulates when a hand is moved along said body in order to apply a downward force therealong.  
   
   
       2 . The toy of  claim 1  wherein said toy has an outer wall which surrounds a flexible stuffing  
   
   
       3 . The toy of  claim 2  wherein said outer wall is composed of material selected from the group comprising: natural fur, synthetic fur, shag, felt, fabric, cloth, plush, velvet and Velcro.  
   
   
       4 . A toy simulating a real or fanciful creature, said toy having oppositely facing upper and lower walls, said lower wall being adapted to frictionally resist movement thereof across a surface on which the toy is positioned, said toy being composed of material of sufficient flexibility such that said toy undulates when a hand is moved along the length of said upper wall to apply a downward pressure therealong.  
   
   
       5 . A toy simulating a real or fanciful creature, said toy having oppositely facing upper and lower walls, said lower wall being adapted to frictionally resist movement thereof across an uneven surface on which the toy is positioned, said toy being composed of material of sufficient flexibility such that said toy undulates when a hand is moved along the length of said upper wall to produce static electricity.
