A MECHANICAL TOY | |
V. Ryan © 2006 - 2009 | |
The mechanical toy below is based on a cam mechanism. As the toy is pulled along the heads of the ‘ducks’ move up and down. |
|
As the toy is pulled along by a child, the eccentric cam rotates as it is fixed to the axle and the wheels. The heads and connecting rods move up and down as the axle and eccentric cam revolve. |
|
QUESTIONS: 1.
Design a toy based on the design seen above. It must operate from cams
as it is pulled along by a young child. |
