Abstract
A toy simulating a walking animal that includes a body on which axles are mounted in spaced relation, wheels being mounted on the axles for rotation therewith. Levers simulating legs of an animal are secured to the wheels in offset eccentric relation and are reciprocably movable upon rotation of the wheels. A spring assembly is interconnected to the front axle and is responsive to the withdrawal and release of a draw-string for producing rotation of the front axle and a corresponding propelling movement of the body. The legs as secured to the wheels are constructed and arranged for reciprocable movement upon rotation of the wheels and propelling movement of the body for imparting a simulated walking action of the toy animal.
