  • Patent number: 5439071
    Abstract: A child's toy vehicle having a safety device includes a vehicle having a receiver circuit which may be enabled by an electromagnetic signal emitted by a remote control, handled by an adult, and a pushbutton, in series with a motor, to be depressed by the child driving the vehicle. A switch breaks the supply to the receiver circuit thereby disabling it at the same time as it makes a bridge across the power supply and the child operated pushbutton. The invention is applicable to children's toy vehicles driven by very young children, so that an adult located remotely can break the motor supply to stop the vehicle at any given time, for safety purposes.
