Abstract: A toy work vehicle propelled by a bi-directional d-c motor in a forward or reverse direction depending on the polarity of battery voltage applied thereto, the vehicle including a power take-off device driven by the same motor to raise or lower a load. A gear shift mechanism operatively coupled either to the wheel axles or to the power take-off device, is controlled by a shift stick which in neutral operatively couples the motor only to the power take-off device. The shift stick is movable to a lateral position having a forward and a reverse mode in which the motor is operatively coupled to the wheel axles.

Abstract: A wireless-controllable toy car with a winch mechanism is disclosed which is provided, in addition to driving wheels and the winch mechanism, with an electric motor for driving and controlling the wheels, another electric motor for controlling the winch mechanism, and a change-over switch for switching a power circuit for the electric motors.

Abstract: A toy vehicle has a body having left and right side walls and an arcuate wall extending from front to rear located inbetween the left and right side walls. The body is supported by wheels, a portion of each of the wheels extending upwardly through an opening formed wherein the side walls join the arcuate wall. A cylindrical element is positioned on the vehicle over the arcuate wall between the left and the right side walls so as to rest on the portions of the wheels which extend upwardly through the openings in the arcuate wall. As the vehicle is rolled on a surface, rotation of the wheels of the vehicle is transferred to the cylindrical element to rotate the same on the body of the vehicle. The cylindrical element has a plurality of openings shaped so as to receive a like plurality of blocks. The blocks can be placed within the cylindrical element by inserting them through the appropriate openings.

Abstract: In a motor-driven movable toy vehicle, a single motor is used in common for driving the toy vehicle body at a high speed or a low speed and a winch mechanism. To select one of the driving modes, a selector lever is so arranged as to shift a slide gear assembly. Additionally, a power releasing mechanism is provided for the winch mechanism for preventing toy parts from being damaged when a winch wire is excessively rolled up.

Abstract: A toy crane attachment for use with a child's tricycle. The crane includes a main mounting frame which can be easily attached to or removed from the tricycle. The main frame pivotally supports a swivelable frame and boom, with the boom thereby being movable not only horizontally relative to the tricycle, but through all of a crane's vertical motions. The child will operate the crane by turning around and facing the rear of the tricycle with crane operation thereafter simulating actual crane operation.

Abstract: Toy vehicles having a rigid body supported by wheel assemblies for movement on a support surface. A spring element is positioned between the vehicle body and the wheel assemblies for biasing the vehicle body in a normally raised position with respect to the wheel assemblies. A movable member is mounted on the body and is in contact with the wheel assembly and/or the spring element. The movable member is activated by the wheel assembly and/or the spring element as the vehicle body is lowered by a user and raised by the spring bias.

Abstract: This plow is unique, in that it is pulled manually, and is designed for garden use. Primarily, it consists of an aluminum frame with a pair of handle grips on one end, and the other end includes a plow blade attached to the center of the frame. It further includes a pair of runners, which support the frame on the ground surface. In one embodiment of the plow, when it is not being manually operated, the plow may be pulled in the opposite direction by a toy vehicle operated by a child.

Abstract: A toy car with a winch mechanism is disclosed, which comprises a clutch shaft associated with a driving shaft of a motor and movable axially with an oscillating rod, a winch drum shaft and a wheel driving shaft supported on a frame, a clutch gear on the clutch shaft, driving gears on the winch drum shaft and the wheel driving shaft for selectively meshing with the clutch gear, a winch rope with a hook secured to the winch drum shaft, a brush resiliently contacted with the winch drum shaft, a rope guiding frame movably contacted with the brush, and a switch for discontinuing the hoisting operating of the winch.The toy car with the winch mechanism thus constructed allows both forward movement of the car and the hoisting operation of the winch by use of a single motor, and prevents the motor from being damaged or burnt out by overload.
