Abstract: A toy includes a platform, a moving body, and a balance bar. The moving body has front and rear wheels rotatable about horizontal rotary axes, a turning wheel, and a drive unit coupled to the turning wheel and one of the rear wheels to drive movement of the moving body when the moving body is disposed on the platform. The turning wheel is rotatable about an axis perpendicular to the rotary axes of the front and rear wheels, and prevents the moving body from falling off the platform when the moving body moves to a peripheral edge of the platform. The balance bar has an intermediate fulcrum portion mounted pivotally on the moving body about a horizontal pivot axis, and two arm portions projecting from two opposite lateral sides of the moving body.

Abstract: A toy having a toy body, and a roller skating accessory integral with a part of the body, with a rigid or a freely rotating wheel.

Abstract: A toy has a body part formed by two animal body elements spaced from one another in a transverse direction, each of the body elements having two legs extending downwardly in a standing position of the toy and a curved back extending upwardly in the standing position of the toy, each of the body elements also having a nose portion projecting horizontally forwardly in the standing position of the toy, and connecting elements for the body elements with one another and including a first Z-shaped connecting element having two horizontal portions which are offset relative to one another in a horizontal direction and in a vertical direction and a vertical portion connecting the horizontal portion with one another and also including a second connecting element having at least one horizontal portion, so that in the standing position of the toy a user can sit on one horizontal portion and place his legs on another horizontal portion of the first connecting element, while in a position when the toy is turned upside down

Abstract: A hula dancing doll which alternately moves its hips left and right while making a forward or turning motion on a performance stage and a Hawaiian melody is heard to give a lifelikeness that compares with a real hula dancer. The doll includes a body portion, a hip portion, and a base portion. The body portion resembles the head through waist of a human; the hip portion resembles the hip portion of a human. The body portion includes a conical housing with a base, a switch, a battery, a motor, a melody I. C., a speaker, a drive gear, a cam, a push rod, a rack gear, a hip gear, a drive wheel gear, two front wheels connected to an axle, two rear wheels connected to an axle, a shaft is connected at one end to the drive wheel gear and at the other end to a turning drive wheel. When the switch is turned on, the drive gear will turn the cam and drive wheel gear. The cam will move upward the push rod and the rack gear to turn the hip gear.

Abstract: A battery motor driven toy has articulated front and rear sections that are extended and contracted about a horizontal pivot in a scissor-like action. Each of the sections carries a surface engaging wheel mounted for rotation only in the forward direction. A biasing force pulls the sections together while the motor drives the sections apart against the biasing force through a gear train that includes gear segments on each section. When the front section is driven, the rear section remains stationary but is pulled forward by the biasing force at the end of the drive cycle while the front remains stationary. Placement of the motor and other weight over the rear wheels results in the vehicle doing a "wheelie" when forward movement of the rear wheels is obstructed so that the front section rises up above the play surface while continuing to extend and retract in a snapping-like action. A counterweighted sound device is mounted under the rear section so that it is activated when the vehicle does a "wheelie".
