Abstract: Disclosed herein is a spring drive for use in a moving toy which comprises a windup pinion 5, a spring windup shaft 7 having a gear 6 meshing with the pinion 5, a large gear 8 provided around the spring windup shaft 7, a drive pinion 9 always meshing with the large gear 8, and a spur gear 20 integrally formed with the drive pinion 9, wherein a stepped portion 10 having a larger diameter than that of the gear 6 is formed between the gear 6 of the spring windup shaft and the large gear 8, and one end of the windup pinion 5 is supported by the stepped portion 10 and the spur gear 20 integrally formed with the drive pinion 9, thereby omitting an intermediate partition frame.

Abstract: A two-speed action spring drive which automatically changes the gears from very slow to fast moving state is disclosed. In this device the gear meshing with a driving gear group and the gear meshing with a reducing gear group are linked together by a detachable means which can idle these gears when an excessive force acts thereon.
