Bobblehead wobbler

Abstract

A bobble head doll wobbler includes a base, a housing, and a support platform that is slidably supported within the housing. A solenoid drives a shaft that pushes and pulls the support platform, thereby imparting an oscillating motion to a bobble head doll supported on the platform. The wobbler has variable speed and may be electrically connected with other such devices to support a plurality of bobble head dolls.

         4 . The wobbler according to  claim 1 , wherein the movement to the platform is variable.  
     
     
         5 . The wobbler according to  claim 3 , wherein the platform includes guiding grooves to engage with the two rails.  
     
     
         6 . The wobbler according to  claim 5 , wherein the two rails are mounted to the base of the housing.  
     
     
         8 . A wobbler according to  claim 6 , wherein bearings are interspaced between the platform and the rails.  
     
     
         9 . A wobbler according to  claim 6 , wherein wheels are interspaced between the platform and the rails.  
     
     
         10 . The wobbler according to  claim 1 , wherein the power supply is a battery accommodated in the housing.  
     
     
         11 . The wobbler according to  claim 1 , wherein the electric circuitry includes an actuator for turning on the solenoid at selected times.  
     
     
         12 . The wobbler according to  claim 11 , wherein the actuator is a sound activator.  
     
     
         13 . The wobbler according to  claim 1 , wherein the electric circuitry includes a speed control.  
     
     
         14 . The wobbler according to  claim 13 , wherein the speed control comprises a rheostat.  
     
     
         15 . The wobbler according to  claim 1 , wherein at least a portion of upper surface of the platform comprises a nonskid surface.  
     
     
         16 . The wobbler according to  claim 1 , further comprising an input for an external power supply.  
     
     
         17 . The wobbler according to  claim 16 , further comprising an outlet for supplying power to a second wobbler.  
     
     
         18 . The wobbler according to  claim 1 , further comprising a power switch.  
     
     
         19 . The wobbler according to  claim 1 , further comprising a timer.  
     
     
         20 . The wobbler according to  claim 1 , further comprising a resetable fuse.  
     
     
         21 . A bobble head figurine and wobbler assembly, comprising: 
 the bobble head figurine with a body and a head portion balanced on the body by mechanical means and a figurine base,    the bobble head figurine being positioned on the wobble assembly,    the wobbler assembly including a housing and power supply,    the housing comprises a moveable platform having an upper and lower surface, an electric circuit connected to a solenoid having a shaft moveably connected to the lower surface of the platform for imparting movement to the platform when power is supplied. causing the bobble head figurine to shake and the head to wobble.
