CA 2229762

A moving mouth mechanism for an animated character, the mechanism being mounted within the animated character, such as a doll. A head member of the character can have an electrical motor mounted in its upper portion, and has an elongated flexible element or string attached at one end to a rotatable shaft of the motor. The other end of the string is attached to a pivotable lever which is spring actuated. The lever outer end is attached to a pivotable lower lip of the mouth in the head. Whenever the motor is activated with an electrical signal such as from an audio system for the activated character, the pivotable lower lip is movable upward and downward so as to simulate normal realistic speech for the animated character.

Cette invention concerne un mécanisme de mobilisation de la bouche d'une figurine animée, ledit mécanisme étant logé à l'intérieur de ladite figurine, une poupée par exemple. La tête de la figurine peut comporter, en partie haute, un moteur électrique à l'arbre de sortie duquel est fixé ou attaché un élément flexible allongé ou un cordon. L'autre extrémité du cordon est attachée à un levier à ressort dont le bout distal est fixé à une lèvre inférieure mobile. € la mise en rotation du moteur par une signal électrique émis, par exemple, par un système de sonorisation de la figurine, la lèvre mobile se déplace de bas en haut et vice versa pour simuler une bouche émettant des sons de parole normale.
