摘要:
An expression mechanism for a toy having a lower lip (34), a cheek (22), and an eye (14), includes a support frame (82), a lip lever (78) pivotally connected to the support frame for engaging the lower lip of the toy, a cheek lever (76) pivotally connected to the support frame for engaging the cheek of the toy, an eye linkage (96) for opening and closing the eye of the toy, and a motor (121 ) for actuating one of the lip and cheek levers to cause the toy to simulate a facial expression. The lip and cheek levers are interconnected in a manner that when the cheek lever pivots in one direction, the Hp lever pivots in a generally opposite direction. The expression mechanism causes the toy to assume various facial expressions, including, but not limited to, smile, frown, and neutral.

摘要:
A play apparatus in the form of a toy figure (TF) includes a body member that can be separated into left (28) and right halves (30) by dividing generally centrally along a generally vertical line or plane and can be joined with the opposing halves of another toy figure to create different figures. Each of the left (28) and right (30) halves preferably has a preassigned game or power value and a name (36,38). When the two halves are joined, they produce an original, solid-figure, or a split-figure, with a combined name and a combined game value. The two halves of an original, solid-figure, or the two halves of a split-figure when joined, blend visibly seamlessly about a line of adjoinment. In addition, the facial, head, and torso features of the two halves also blend visibly seamlessly to create an overall external impression or visual image of a whole.
