- Customizable action figure 10 may include a housing or torso 12, a transmission mechanism 14 (shown in Fig. 2) supported in torso 12, an actuator 16 operatively connected to transmission mechanism 14, and one or more appendages 18 operatively connected to transmission mechanism 14. Transmission mechanism 14 may also be drivingly connected to other appendages, such as legs, a head, wings, or other structures.
- customizable action figure 10 includes a sound mechanism 19 (shown in Figs. 2 and 6) mounted in torso 12. Legs 20 may support torso 12 from above a play surface 21.
- Torso 12 may house transmission mechanism 14 as shown in Fig. 2. As shown in Fig. 2, torso 12 may define a cavity 22 of sufficient size to contain transmission mechanism 14. Various projections, apertures, and support members may be provided in torso 12 to support the various components of transmission mechanism 14, such as base plate 25 supported on legs 20. Torso 12 may include shoulder apertures 24 and 25, through which transmission mechanism 14 may be connected to a right arm 26 and left arm 27.
- Transmission mechanism 14 may transmit energy applied to actuator 16 relative to torso 12 to appendages 18 through a series of gears. As shown in Fig. 2, transmission mechanism 14 may include a waist gear 28, a torso gear 29, a shoulder gear 30, and a neck gear 32. Each of the aforementioned gears may be drivingly interconnected such that movement of one gear causes the other gears to move.
- Waist gear 28 may be fixedly secured to actuator 16 and rotate about a vertical axis V1 as actuator 16 is rotated relative to torso 12 by a user.
- Waist gear 28 may engage torso gear 29 having a horizontal axis of rotation H1.
- Rotation of waist gear 28 rotates torso gear 29 about a horizontal axis H1.
- Rotation of torso gear 29 causes shoulder gear 30 to rotate about a generally horizontal axis H2.
- Shoulder gear 30 may be mounted at either aperture 24 or 25 and, optionally, a different gear may be mounted in the other aperture.
- customizable action figure 10 may include two shoulder gears.
- torso gear 29 may be a compound gear, including a first gear 31 engaged by waist gear 28 and a larger diameter spur gear 34 configured to engage shoulder gear 30.
- shoulder gear 30 moves arm 27 when gear 30 is driven by torso gear 29.
- Arm 26 may couple to shoulder gear 30 at shoulder aperture 24 or 25 by a drive rod 37 attached to the proximal end of arm 27 as shown in Figs. 4A and 4B.
- Drive rod 37 is slidingly received in a channel in shoulder gear 30 with a friction fit. Shoulder gear 30 rotates drive rode 37. As explained more fully below, drive rod 37 may engage movement mechanisms 38 drivingly connected to appendages 18.
- Shoulder gear 30 may also mesh with neck gear 32 causing neck gear 32 to rotate about a vertical axis V2 when shoulder gear 30 rotates.
- Neck gear 32 may be rigidly attached to a head 40. As a result, head 40 may rotate as neck gear 32 rotates.
- the neck gear may be a mushroom gear with an articulation point located in the head.
- Transmission mechanism 14 may be configured such that neck gear 32 and waist gear 28 rotate in the same direction. It is within the scope of this disclosure, however, that transmission mechanism 14 may configured such that neck gear 32 and waist gear 28 rotate in opposite directions. Further, transmission mechanism 14 and neck gear 32 may be configured such that neck gear 32 and waist gear 28 rotate at the same rate or at different rates.
- actuator 16 may take numerous forms.
- actuator 16 may be a belt configured to slide around torso 12, a button configured to move into and out of torso 12, or a lever configured to pivot into and out of torso 12.
- actuator 16 is a hip section 42 configured to rotate relative to torso 12.
- legs 20 are pivotally attached to hip section 42.
- torso 12 may include a fin or other element (not shown) projecting therefrom against which a user may exert rotating force relative to actuator 16.
- a user may rotate lower torso 42 relative to torso 12 to rotate waist gear 28, thus, driving transmission mechanism 14 and in turn driving movement of appendage 18.
- Appendage 18 may include a plurality of segments 46 and movement mechanisms 38. Movement mechanisms 38 may include gearing configured to move one segment relative to another as explained more fully below. For example, movement mechanism 38 may rotate, bend, or extend one segment relative to another segment. Appendage 18 may include various combinations of movement mechanisms such that a first segment rotates relative to second segment, while a third segment bends relative to the second segment, etc. Different appendages may include different combinations of segments 46 and movement mechanisms 38, such as shown in Figs. 4A-4B.
- FIG. 4A shows one example of right arm 26 configured to move in a certain manner.
- Right arm 26 shown in Fig. 4A may include segments 46 including a shoulder or first segment 50, an upper arm 52, a forearm 54, and a hand or third segment 56.
- Upper arm 52 and forearm 54 may be rigidly connected in some examples and in such examples collectively define a second segment.
- Drive rod 37 may drivingly couple right arm 26 to shoulder gear 30 through shoulder aperture 25.

- main gear 59 rotates first segment 50 and transfer gear drives a second segment gear 60.
- Second segment gear 60 may be drivingly connected to the second segment, such as in this example to upper arm 52. Rotation of second segment gear 60 typically causes the second segment to rotate.
- first segment gear train 58 may cause the second segment to rotate at the same rate or a different rate than first segment 50 as well in the same direction or in a different direction than first segment 50.
- right arm 26 includes a fourth segment gear train 65 drivingly connected to fourth segment 56 and to first segment gear train 58.
- fourth segment gear train 65 is drivingly connected to first segment gear train 58 via a redirection mechanism 64. Redirection mechanism 64 may account for the second segment having an angle and straight shafts being used to drivingly connect first segment gear train 58 with fourth segment gear train 65.
- Redirection mechanism 64 may include gears having cooperatively angled teeth that facilitate coupled rotation of the gears at an angle.
- Fourth segment gear train 65 may rotate fourth segment 56 relative to the second segment as main gear 59 of first segment gear train 58 rotates. Different combinations of gear sizes may be used in fourth segment gear train 65 to cause fourth segment 56 to rotate at the same rate or a different rate than first segment 50 and/or the second segment. Further, it is well known within the art that different numbers of gears may be used in fourth segment gear train 65 to cause fourth segment 56 to rotate in the same direction or a different direction than first segment 50 or the second segment.
- Fig. 4B shows another example of right arm 26 configured to move in a certain manner. Right arm 26 shown in Fig.
- first segment gear train 58 may drivingly connected to first segment 50 and to drive rod 37.
- First segment gear train 58 in this example may rigidly attach to first segment 50 and cause first segment 50 to rotate as drive rod 37 rotates.
- first segment gear train 58 may include a plurality of gears (not pictured).
- Forearm 54 of right arm 26 shown in Fig. 4B may be pivotally connected to upper arm 52.
- upper arm 52 is rigidly attached to first segment 50.
- a pin 69 may couple forearm 54 with upper arm 52 and allow forearm 54 to pivot relative to upper arm 52.
- forearm 54 freely pivots as first segment 50 rotates when driven by rotation of drive rod 37.
- Fig. 4B is rotatably connected to forearm 54.
- fourth segment 56 typically freely rotates as forearm 54 pivots relative to upper arm 52.
- fourth segment is rigidly attached to forearm 54 and in some examples fourth segment is pivotally attached to forearm 54.
- Left arm 27 may be similarly configured as either right arm 26 shown in Fig. 4A or right arm 26 shown in Fig. 4B.
- left arm 27 may include the same or similar segments and the same or similar gearing as shown and described for right arm 26.
- left arm 27 may move the same or similarly to right arm 26 shown in Fig. 4A and in other examples left arm 27 may move the same or similarly to right arm 26 shown in Fig. 4B.
- Appendage 18 may be configured to support a coupling member
- a socket 63 may be provided in hand 56 for receiving object 62.
- Socket 63 may include a first socket region 71 and a second socket region 75.
- Second socket region 75 typically has a different cross sectional area than first socket region 71.
- second socket region 75 has a larger cross sectional area than first socket region 71.
- Coupling member 66 may be rigidly attached to object 62 and may include different regions 68 for interfacing with different regions of socket 63.
- coupling member 66 may include two regions: a first coupling region 70 distal from object 62 and a second coupling region 72 proximate to object 62.
- Coupling member 66 may be supported by socket 63 in two or more positions, such as a rotation position (shown in Fig. 5A) and a stationary position (shown in Fig. 5B).
- a rotation position shown in Fig. 5A
- a stationary position shown in Fig. 5B
- coupling member 66, and therefore object 62 may rotate relative to fourth segment 56 when appendage 18 moves or when directly rotated by a user.
- first coupling region 70 is loosely supported by first socket region 71 and second socket region 75.
- Second coupling member 72 may be disposed outside socket 63.
- First socket region 71 may be sized to have a cross sectional area that receives first coupling region 70 with sufficient friction to retain first coupling region 70 therein, but not so much friction that rotation of first coupling region 70 is unduly restricted.
- coupling member 66, and therefore object 62 may be held stationary relative to fourth segment 56.
- first coupling member may extend into first socket region 71 and second coupling member 72 may extend into second socket region 75.
- Second socket region 75 may be sized to have a cross sectional area that fits sufficiently tight against second coupling member 72 that rotation of second coupling member 72 is restricted.
- Customizable action figure 10 may include a sound mechanism
- Sound mechanism 19 for producing sounds as depicted in Fig. 6. Sounds may include words, phrases, music, or sound effects, such as crashing or sword swooshing sounds.
- sound mechanism 19 may include a power supply 74, such as a battery, a processor and memory 76 to store sound data, circuitry 78 to transfer sound data, a switch 82 to activate sound mechanism 19, and a speaker 80 to convert sound data into sound waves. Sound mechanism 19 may be mounted in torso 12 and link to transmission mechanism 14 with via switch 82.
- Moving transmission mechanism 14 may activate sound mechanism 19 to produce sounds by means of switch 82. Movement of a component, such as a projection on a rotating component (not shown), of transmission mechanism 14 may cause switch 82 to toggle sound mechanism 19 between active and inactive states. Additionally or alternatively, switch 82 may toggle sound mechanism between different active states. For example, sound mechanism 19 may be configured to produce different sounds each time transmission mechanism 14 is actuated or it may be configured to produce different sounds as actuator 16 is actuated in different directions.
- Customizable action figure 10 may include legs 20 to support torso 12 from a play surface 21. Legs 20 may be pivotally connected to torso 12 to enable the legs to simulate walking and to be positioned in different stances. The pivotal connections may comprise ball joints, a connection through transmission mechanism 14, or any other suitable pivotal connection means.
- an action figure may include a set of interconnected body segments, a transmission mechanism mounted in a housing and operatively coupled to the set of body segments, an actuator operatively connected to the transmission mechanism, wherein actuating the actuator drives the transmission mechanism, and an appendage operatively connected to the transmission mechanism and configured for selective removal from the transmission mechanism, the appendage having a plurality of adjacent segments with each segment configured to move relative to an adjacent segment when the appendage is driven by the transmission mechanism.
- an action figure may include a torso, a transmission mechanism supported in the torso, a hip section connected to the torso, rotation of the hip section relative to the torso driving the transmission mechanism, a first appendage drivingly connected to the transmission mechanism, the first appendage being configured to move in a first manner when the first appendage is driven by the transmission mechanism, and a second appendage drivingly connected to the transmission mechanism, the second appendage being configured to move in a second manner when the first appendage is driven by the transmission mechanism, wherein the first manner of motion and the second manner of motion are different.
- an action figure may include a housing, a transmission mechanism supported in the housing, a set of two or more arms, each arm in the set being configured to selectively couple with the transmission mechanism and including: a plurality of adjacent segments, each segment configured to move relative one or more to adjacent segments, and at least one movement mechanism mounted between adjacent segments, each movement mechanism being configured move one segment relative to an adjacent segment; wherein the movement mechanisms are configured to move the segments differently in at least two arms in the set.
