Abstract: A toy car with a parachute is disclosed in which the toy car, such as a formula type car with a rearwing, is formed with a running car body and a parachute-discharging device capable of accomodating and discharging the parachute which, in turn, may be hauled by the running car body with the parachute being open and in the air.

Abstract: A radio-controllable spherical toy vehicle including a spherical toy body, a running mechanism, a fixing shaft, and a direction-control mechanism is disclosed, in which the running mechanism is rotatable circumferentially on the center-shaft by a driving motor, and the direction-control mechanism is swingable on the axle of the fixing shaft by a servo-motor.

Abstract: A dumping mechanism for a dumping toy truck with a rear deck is disclosed, which is provided with a covering element for preventing invasion of dust and gravel through a large hole for a lifting rod, as well as a buffering pad for a bearing shaft for the rear deck and a flexible buffer at the lower end of the lifting rod for absorbing any sudden shock or loading applied by an infant.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a front wheel drive toy car having front wheels for driving and changing direction which includes a chassis and a lifting rod connected to the chassis for supporting a rear axle. The car includes a hinge for pivotally securing the lifting rod so as to allow the lifting rod to move away from and toward the chassis, a setting device connected to the lifting rod for setting a pivot position, and a bumper arranged at a front of the chassis for preventing forward tumble of the car over a front axle when forward movement is suddenly changed to backward movement. The swing angle of the lifting rod is set at a position such that the car will tumble forward toward the front axle upon a sudden direction change from forward movement to backward movement.

Abstract: A metamorphic radio-controlled traveling toy having a traveling element; a leg element; a torso element; a pair of arm elements; and a head element. The traveling element includes a radio receiving unit and a drive and moving unit. The leg element is pivotably attached to the traveling element such that it can perform standing-up and falling-down shape-changing actions. The torso element is slidably attached to the leg element. The arm elements are slidably and rotatably attached to the torso element using cylindrical sleeve-type connecting mechanisms for providing different stop positions of the arm elements during rotational movement and for providing sliding movement of the arm elements away from and to the torso element. The head element is slidably attached to the torso element such that it can be embedded in the torso element in one position and extended from the torso in another position.

Abstract: A cassette-type power unit for a motor toy is disclosed, which comprises a rectangular casing provided at its middle part with a partition; connecting terminals for connecting a plurality of batteries in series; contact pieces provided as power terminals on an outer face of the casing; and holding pieces each provided with a flange for serving as a guide and a stopper upon connection to the motor toy.The cassette-type power unit allows the convenient replacement of batteries, especially for a wireless controllable toy car, and enables a variety of controlling operations to be readily effected by use of a single unit.

Abstract: A toy locomotive includes a locomotive body and a planar track member. The locomotive body comprises a clockwork driving mechanism with a knurled knob, a small bogie and a pinion mounted to an outshaft of the driving mechanism, a crown gear meshing with the pinion, a drive and an auxiliary wheels suspended on the bogie and one or more guide pin also extended from the bogie. The planar track member comprises an endless groove for engaging with the guide pin. The track member may be one of a number of planar track members, such as pages connected together in the manner of a book.

Abstract: A steering system for radio or wire controlled traveling toys such as model cars having steerable wheels connected to a steering bar. Mechanism is in turn connected to the steering bar for actuation thereof and includes a pair of rack members connection to respective ends of the mechanism. A single electric drive motor provides the propulsion for the toy car through an axle and differential acting drive wheels and is in turn coupled through a slip gear to planetary gear drive clutches which may be alternately locked by means of a pair of solenoids and associated pawls. Output gears driven by the drive clutches in turn effect movement of one or the other of the rack members to steer the car. A centering spring for the steering mechanism returns the steering to straight ahead automatically once the turn energization is completed. The slip gear also will prevent damage to the drive and steering components once steering limits are reached.

Abstract: A toy construction set consisting of a plurality of corner posts each having a leg, first and second groups of two arms each extending outwardly from the leg, and a locking cavity formed within the end of each arm; a plurality of middle posts each having a leg, first and second groups of three arms each extending outwardly from the leg, and a locking cavity formed within the end of each arm; at least one corner post having a leg, first and second groups of four arms each extending outwardly from the leg, and a locking cavity formed within the end of each arm; a plurality of beams each terminating in locking projections complimentary in configuration with respect to the locking cavities of the arms.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a toy vehicle provided with an energy storage mechanism for propelling the vehicle. The vehicle is provided with a frame, an axle having wheels secured thereto, the axle being mounted for rotation with respect to the frame, an energy source consisting of a housing provided with a gear, a spring having one end attached to the housing and coiled within the cavity, and a second gear provided with a stem positioned within the cavity and to which the other end of the spring is attached, a gearing mechanism that is activated by the rotation of the axle in one direction to rotate the first and second gears in opposite directions to store energy in the spring by coiling same, the release of the axle thereafter releasing the stored energy causing the axle to rotate in the opposite direction to propel the vehicle.
