RIDE-ON TOY FOR CHILDREN
A ride-on toy can include a body having a shape resembling a torso of a creature and suitable for being sat on by a child, and four walking mechanisms connected to the body. Each walking mechanism can include a wheel rotatably mounted to the body at a wheel center, and a leg slidably connected to the body via a peg received in a slot defined by the body. The leg includes a foot and has a shape resembling a leg of the creature. The foot is eccentrically linked to the wheel. Two out of the four walking mechanisms are connected to a head end of the body to define a pair of forelegs. The other two out of the four walking mechanisms are connected to a tail end of the body to define a pair of hind legs.
BODY MOUNTING SYSTEM FOR A MODEL VEHICLE
A model vehicle comprising a chassis, body and a body mounting system, and a body mounting system for a model vehicle are provided. The body mounting system includes a first mount pivotally connected to one end of the model vehicle body and a second mount connected to the other end of the model vehicle body located opposite to the first end. The first mount releasably couples the one end of the model vehicle body to the model vehicle chassis in a first direction. In addition, the second end of the model vehicle body is rotated about the pivotal connection and the second mount releasably couples the other end of the model vehicle body to the model vehicle chassis in a second direction.
Multi-position body mount for model vehicle
A body mount system and method for a model vehicle that includes a vertically adjustable body post and a body slide that can be attached to the body post in a fixed configuration and a movable configuration. The body mount system further includes a first and second body post cap removably attached to either end of the body slide in a fixed configuration and movable configuration. The first and second body post caps include respective first and second body supports rotatively attached to the first and second body post caps. Wherein the movable body slide configuration permits adjustment of the body slide in a first horizontal direction relative to the body post and wherein the movable first and second body post cap configurations permit adjustments to the first and second body post caps in a second horizontal direction relative to the body slide.
CAR TYPE MODEL
The present disclosure relates to a car type model comprising an inner structure formed of a metal, a chassis formed of a resin and a wheel axle formed of a metal. The chassis is attached to the inner structure, and the wheel axle is arranged between the chassis and the inner structure. The inner structure and the chassis are configured to keep the wheel axle in a position.
Vehicle Hopping System
A toy vehicle suspension operable to lift and lower the vehicle chassis of the toy vehicle. In particular embodiments, the vehicle suspension transmits sufficient forces to the wheels of the toy vehicle to enable the wheels to hop off the ground.
TOY ASSEMBLY WITH INNER OBJECT IN HOUSING THAT PERFORMS FUNCTION
In an aspect, a toy assembly is provided, and includes a housing and a toy vehicle inside the housing. The housing has a movable housing portion, and at least one functional element that is movable and is separate from the movable housing portion. The toy vehicle has a drive wheel that, when driven in a first rotational direction causes the drive wheel to drive movement of the functional element so as to carry out a function without driving movement of the toy vehicle towards the movable housing portion, and when driven in a second rotational direction causes the drive wheel to drive the vehicle towards the movable housing portion.
Ride On Toy
A ride on toy (10) comprising a vehicle body (12) having front and rear wheels (18). A seat (16) is provided on an upper surface of the body (120 on which a child can sit and a cleaning unit (14) is releasably secured to the vehicle body. The cleaning unit (14) is secured to the vehicle body (12) between the front and rear wheels (18) and includes a housing (38) having an internal chamber (46) such that the cleaning unit (14) picks up particulate matter from the floor while the toy (10) is moving and deposits it into the internal chamber (46).
Toy building blocks
The invention relates to a toy building block system (100) comprising one or more building blocks (200); and one or more wheels (300); wherein each said building block (200) comprises: a first elongate portion (2) extending in a longitudinal direction (X); a second elongate portion (4) extending in said longitudinal direction (X); an intermediate portion (6) connecting said first elongate portion (2) with said second elongate portion (4) at a middle position (8) thereof; a first end portion (10) extending in a transverse direction (Y), perpendicular to said longitudinal direction (X), from said first elongate portion (2), at a side thereof opposite to said intermediate portion (6), and at a middle position thereof;
a second end portion (12) extending in said transverse direction (Y), perpendicular to said longitudinal direction (X), from said second elongate portion (4), at a side opposite to said intermediate portion (6), and at a middle position thereof;
said building block thereby comprises six protrusions (14) and two voids (16), wherein each void (16) is being defined between an end of said first elongate portion (2) and an end of said second elongate portion (4).
wherein each said wheel (300) comprises a hub (18); and a wheel rim (20);
wherein said wheel rim (20) is surrounding said hub (18); and wherein said wheel rim (20) is being attached to said hub (18) in such a way that said wheel rim is configured to be able to swivel around a rotational axis (A) in relation to said hub;
wherein said hub (18) at a centre (22) thereof comprises a hole (24) extending in an axial direction (A); wherein the dimensions and geometry of said hole (24) are adapted to the dimensions and geometry of one of said protrusions (14) of said building block (200); so as to be able to accommodate said protrusion (14) and thereby hold said protrusion (14) of said building block (200) in place in said hole (24) of said hub (18) solely by friction.
ELASTIC LAUNCHING CAR TOYS
Toys having a rigid inner chassis and an outer body made of a very elastic and deformable material, elastomer are disclosed. The outer body of the car, when pulled back and released, enables the transfer of force directly to the wheels. The back of the chassis acts as a guide for the car. It is the point where the user's hand rests and guides its forward propulsion. Thus, the vehicle moves forward thanks to the combination of the elastic material of the outer body and the rigid chassis that holds the wheels and helps transfer the force.
