Abstract

A toy is provided for lifting goods onto a stand-by portion and discharging them from the stand-by portion in response to the passing of an object. A goods lifting portion is pivotably supported by a vertical support member at a pivot point. A receiving portion is located at one end radially extending from the pivot point. An extension member is located at a second end radially extending from the pivot point for upwardly pivoting the receiving portion to empty the goods from the receiving portion onto the stand-by portion when the support member reaches a predetermined vertical distance. A contact member provides a force upon the passing of an object. A separating and discharging member rotatingly receives goods of a predetermined quantity from the stand-by portion and discharges the goods when the contact member provides the force. A retaining member disables the separating and discharging member when both positionally moved to a predetermined position and the absence of a magnetic force is detected.
