  • Patent number: 4533336
    Abstract: A toy vehicle has hinged and lockable doors, trunk lid, and hood, each with an internal U-shaped shackle, clevis, or claw projecting inwardly. A single locking plate is slidably positioned inside the vehicle. The plate has an integral sliding bolt at each position which is adjacent a shackle, clevis, or claw. The internal hub of each wheel has an integral, cam shaped member formed thereon to be captured or released by detents on the locking plate. A key fits through a key hole in the bottom of the vehicle in order to slide the plate forward or aft, as the key turns. As it so slides, a bolt or detent on the plate slides through or out of each shackle, clevis, or claw and engages or disengages the cam members, thereby locking or unlocking the doors and wheels.
