Abstract: A hammering game apparatus has a pair of mechanically articulated hammer devices coupled with a base mounting a motor-driven revolving platform. The platform has a plurality of pegs protruding through it. One or more players attempt to hammer down the pegs into the base with the hammer device(s). The pegs are driven from a raised position to a lower position on the platform with two longer pegs engaging a stop beneath the platform when driven sufficiently down into the platform. The platform is spring-supported and is pressed down towards the base to raise the pegs back to the raised position.

Abstract: Toy vehicles having a rigid body supported by wheel assemblies for movement on a support surface. A spring element is positioned between the vehicle body and the wheel assemblies for biasing the vehicle body in a normally raised position with respect to the wheel assemblies. A movable member is mounted on the body and is in contact with the wheel assembly and/or the spring element. The movable member is activated by the wheel assembly and/or the spring element as the vehicle body is lowered by a user and raised by the spring bias.

Abstract: A toy racing game accessory comprising a tachometer and fuel gauge. The tachometer includes a rack and pinion assembly which is driven by a linear actuator. A tachometer needle is coupled to the rack and pinion assembly. The action of the linear actuator is proportioned to the amplitude of current passing through the track rails and toy car motor as determined by a speed throttle. The fuel gauge includes a ratchet wheel. The rack and pinion assembly includes a pawl which advances the ratchet wheel if the tachometer needle is made to advance beyond a predetermined threshold speed. The ratchet pawl advances the ratchet wheel so as to cause the fuel gauge needle to advance towards "empty". The amount of advance of the fuel gauge needle depends on the swing of the tachometer. When the fuel gauge reads "empty" a cammed microswitch opens to cut off all power to the track rails and bring the racing car to a halt.
