  • Patent number: 11077382
    Abstract: A wheel removal tool for a toy vehicle wheel has a tool base body and at least one rear-engagement portion. The latter is connected fixedly to the tool base body and is embodied so that it, in a removal starting position, engages behind an assigned removal portion of the toy vehicle wheel. A removal lever of the removal tool has a supporting portion for support on a vehicle component fixed on the chassis. The removal lever is adjustable relative to the tool base body between the removal starting position and a removal end position. In the latter, the at least one rear-engagement portion is displaced relative to the supporting portion in a removal direction. This results in a removal tool with which a simple detachment, which is in particular close to reality, of the toy vehicle wheel from a chassis-side vehicle component is enabled.

  • Patent number: 9808732
    Abstract: A coupling for connecting a first coupling part to one toy component and a second coupling part connected to another toy component. The two coupling parts are connected to one another along a connecting axis to be rotated relative to one another thereabout. One of the coupling parts is a receiving coupling part having a locking guide receiving portion, which has a locking receiver extending in the peripheral direction about the connecting axis through more than 180°. The other coupling part is an insert coupling part having at least two insert guide portions axially spaced apart from one another along the connecting axis and guided radially in the receiving coupling part. A first insert guide portion is received to lock in the locking guide receiving portion of the receiving coupling part. A second insert guide portion is guided in a second guide receiving portion of the receiving coupling part.
