Abstract

A toy set for fishing play mainly includes a casing having an animal contour, inside which there is arranged a driving mechanism and a plurality of toothed rotary trays. The driving mechanism drives various gear sets, which are linked with eyeballs and limbs of the fake animal. As a result, the toy set can imitate a variety of gestures of the animal while fishing play is going on, showing great fun.

Claims

1. A toy set of fishing play mainly comprising a casing inside which there is arranged a driving mechanism and a plurality of toothed rotary trays for fishing play, wherein said driving mechanism drives gear sets to activate an eyeball moving mechanism and limb moving mechanisms via connecting rods;

said casing having an animal'"'"'s form and containing a motor that is used to drive a worm of said driving mechanism;

said driving mechanism delivering the power of said motor to a driving gear of a first gear set so that a driven gear, engaged with said driving gear, uses an eccentric pin to spur a connecting rod to move up and down eyeballs affixed to said eyeball moving mechanism;

said driven gear of said first gear set further rotating a first toothed rotary tray, which causes a driving gear of a second gear set and a central gear to turn so that an eccentric pin of a driven gear of said second gear set pushes the first limb-shaped parts to sway;

said central gear concurrently driving a plurality of toothed rotary trays to operate, of which a second rotary tray also turns a driving gear of a third gear set so that an eccentric pin on the driven gear of said third gear set sets the second limb-shaped parts in motion.

2. A toy set as claimed in claim 1, in which said casing consists of an upper half and a lower half having a frog'"'"'s form, and a plurality of movable limb-shaped parts;

said upper half being provided with two eye sockets behind which eyeballs with the moving means are secured therein by a U-shaped plate;

said limb-shaped parts being respectively composed of a shell and a link with a projecting pin arranged thereon for a connection with said connecting rods;

said lower half having a switch arranged on one side near the head portion of the frog-shaped casing half and a battery compartment with a cover formed on the opposed side.

3. A toy set as claimed in claim 1, in which the number of said toothed rotary trays can be one or more.
