Figure With a Rocking Body
The present disclosure relates to a figure with a rocking body. More specifically, the present disclosure relates to a figure, comprising a base with a support assembly attached to and extending therefrom, a head attached to a top of the support assembly of the base, and a body movably attached to the support assembly such that the body moves relative to the support assembly when a force is applied thereto.
1 . A figure with a rocking body comprising:
a base;
a support assembly extending from the base;
a head attached to the support assembly; and
a body attached to the support assembly, the body movable relative to the support assembly by the application of a force applied on the body.
2 . The figure of claim 1 , further comprising a pendulum pivotally attached to the support assembly, the body attached to the pendulum.
3 . The figure of claim 2 , wherein the support assembly comprises a front support and a back support, the pendulum pivotally attached between the front support and back support.
4 . The figure of claim 3 , wherein the pendulum includes a vertical rod, a first arm extending from a top of the rod having a first hole in an end thereof, a second arm extending from the top of the rod in a direction opposite the first arm having a second hole in an end thereof, and a top center hole at the top of the rod between the first and second arms.
5 . The figure of claim 4 , wherein the center hole is positioned about a pivot on the support assembly and the pendulum pivots about the pivot.
6 . The figure of claim 5 , wherein the first and second holes retain the body in position as the pendulum swings back and forth.
7 . The figure of claim 3 , wherein the pendulum includes a magnet.
8 . The figure of claim 7 , further comprising a magnetic coil within the base and proximate the pendulum magnet.
9 . The figure of claim 8 , further comprising a controller to vary polarity of the magnetic coil to create a force that moves the pendulum.
10 . The figure of claim 9 , wherein the controller is programmed to provide current to a magnetic coil in repeatable select increments, the current adjusting polarity of the magnetic coil to attract or repel the magnet of the pendulum.
11 . The figure of claim 9 , further comprising a control for a user to adjust a speed that the pendulum moves.
12 . The figure of claim 10 , wherein the base includes a slot, and an end of the pendulum extends into the base through the slot.
13 . The figure of claim 11 , wherein the control is a switch disposed in a sidewall of the base, the switch controlling a magnitude and duration of current through the magnetic coil thereby allowing a user to adjust the speed of rocking of the pendulum.
14 . The figure of claim 1 , wherein the body pivots about a pivot component of the support assembly.
15 . The figure of claim 1 , wherein the body comprises a front casing and a back casing forming a hollow interior.
16 . The figure of claim 1 , wherein at least a portion of the body extends through an opening in the base.
17 . The figure of claim 1 , wherein the head moves independent of the body.
18 . The figure of claim 17 , wherein the head is attached to the support assembly by a spring.
