Wing mechanism for a doll

Abstract

A winged toy is described. The winged toy includes a wing mechanism and a doll. The wing mechanism includes a first wing arm and a second wing arm (each with wings). Each of the two wing arms are connected with one another via gears to allow the wings to flap in unison. The gears include teeth that are engaged with one another such that rotation of one gear causes the other gear to rotate at an equal rate and in a direction opposite to that of the first gear, thereby causing the wings to flap in unison. Additionally, the wing mechanism includes a plug having a distinct pattern. Finally, the doll has a rear side with a receptacle. The receptacle is formed in a distinct pattern that matches the distinct pattern of the plug, thereby allowing a user to selectively plug the wing mechanism into the doll.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A winged toy, comprising:
 a wing mechanism, the wing mechanism including:
 a first wing arm with a wing attached thereto; 
 a second wing arm with a wing attached thereto; and 
 wherein the two wing arms are connected with one another to allow the wings to flap in unison. 
   
     
     
         2 . The winged toy as set forth in  claim 1 , wherein the wing mechanism further includes a first gear attached with the first wing arm and a second gear attached with the second wing arm, the first and second gears having teeth and engaged with one another such that rotation of the first gear causes the second gear to rotate at an equal rate and in a direction opposite to that of the first gear. 
     
     
         3 . The winged toy as set forth in  claim 2 , wherein the wing mechanism further includes a plug protruding therefrom, the plug having a distinct pattern. 
     
     
         4 . The winged toy as set forth in  claim 3 , further comprising a doll, the doll having a rear side with a receptacle formed therein, the receptacle having a distinct pattern that matches the distinct pattern of the plug, thereby allowing a user to selectively plug the wing mechanism into the doll. 
     
     
         5 . The winged toy as set forth in  claim 1 , wherein the wing mechanism further includes a plug protruding therefrom, the plug having a distinct pattern. 
     
     
         6 . The winged toy as set forth in  claim 4 , further comprising a doll, the doll having a rear side with a receptacle formed therein, the receptacle having a distinct pattern that matches the distinct pattern of the plug, thereby allowing a user to selectively plug the wing mechanism into the doll.
