  • Patent number: 4666420
    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.

  • Patent number: 4623317
    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.
