The patent application (Publication Number: US20240024791A1) describes a toy assembly that includes a housing, an inner object inside the housing, and a breakout mechanism with a hammer and an actuation lever. The hammer can move between a retracted position and an advanced position to break the housing, with the actuation lever controlling this movement. The housing is designed in the form of an egg, with the inner object resembling a bird. Additionally, the hammer is part of the inner object, and the actuation lever is connected to a cam and an actuation lever biasing member to facilitate its movement.

Furthermore, the toy assembly includes an electric motor connected to the cam to drive its rotation, with all components housed inside the inner object. The actuation lever is pivotable about a pivot axis, with the actuation lever biasing member positioned at a specific distance from the pivot axis to ensure proper acceleration of the actuation lever. The design of the cam surface allows for abrupt dropping away from the actuation lever during rotation, enabling the actuation lever biasing member to accelerate the actuation lever effectively. Overall, the toy assembly's unique design and mechanism provide an interactive and engaging play experience for users, combining elements of surprise and movement within a compact and visually appealing structure.
