DEFINITION

Classification: 446/352

Including motive-power means or hand-crank mechanism:

(under subclass 330) Device including either (1) an energy-transducing or storing mechanism for providing power to move the simulation or portion thereof, or (2) a shaft rotatable about its longitudinal axis and provided with a handle extending radially or offset from the shaft to gain mechanical advantage to rotate the shaft which provides power to move the simulation or portion thereof.

(1) Note. While toy figures having spring motors are included in this subclass, figures having springs which merely return a body portion when moved from a neutral position are not classified here on that basis.

(2) Note. Numerous patents to motor driven figures have not been cross-referenced here, but may be found in the specific

subclasses above.
