First Claim
1. A toy, comprisinga base member;
- motion-detecting means mounted on said base member, said motion-detecting means being constructed and arranged to detect at least one of the presence of a motion of an object in the vicinity of the toy and the absence of a moving object in the vicinity of the toy;
action-performing means mounted on said base member for cooperating with said motion-detecting means; and
electrical means connecting said motion-detecting means and said action-producing means whereby the latter is operated in response to the detection by said motion-detecting means, said motion-detecting means including an objective arranged to transmit light to establish an image of an object in the vicinity of said toy, image-distorting means located after said objective as considered in direction of light passage and arranged to distort the image, and photosensing means arranged to sense the distorted image and produce a signal for operation of said action-performing means.
