Abstract

Controllable response toy systems in which the response is delayed by a suitable interval. A toy is set for action by the manipulation of one of its members, such as an arm. The arm thereafter moves spontaneously from the set position, after a suitable interval, and brings about a desired action, such as the throwing of a ball. When the interval resulting from the setting action is variable, the toy gives the appearance of deciding on its own when to take action.
