An illustrative toy vehicle is provided having a two-section chassis and a pivot mechanism rotatably attaching the two sections. The vehicle has the ability to move in multiple orientations and execute movements including a side rollover movement where the pivot mechanism assists in directing the vehicle to roll over from a first orientation to a second orientation about a central axis. A modified wheel design further assists in facilitating movements including the rollover movement. The vehicle may perform movements without user control where the vehicle responds to external factors, such as objects or terrain or the vehicle may use control systems such as radio or remote control with a transmitter/receiver pair, on vehicle switches or sensors utilizing interactive preprogrammed content.

A transformer toy in a first and untransformed configuration receives a toy vehicle therein. The vehicle entering the first toy triggers the toy to transform into a robot, airplane, or other figure or structure capable of movement. As the toy transforms, it picks up the vehicle and positions it within the cockpit or other command center of the transformed toy such that a driver of the vehicle now appears to be commanding the transformed toy.

The present invention provides a self-righting model vehicle.

A vehicle configured to move through a network of interconnected tubes includes a body, a motor, a motorized wheel, a biasing assembly, and a first element. The motorized wheel directly engages an inner surface of the tubes. The biasing assembly causes the motorized wheel to maintain continuous contact with the inner surface of the tubes during operation. A waist of the vehicle is constrained by an inner diameter (D) of the curved tube, a radius of curvature (R) of the curved tube, and a length (L) of the wheelbase of the vehicle. The waist of the body is sized such that the vehicle can freely move within any of the tubes without getting stuck therein.

A toy vehicle includes a toy vehicle body and a pair of wheel supports located on opposite sides of the toy vehicle body. In one embodiment, each of the wheel supports includes a pair of wheels rotatably mounted to the wheel support. The toy vehicle has a drive system that includes a pair of motors, each of which is operable to move one of the wheel supports and the wheels coupled to the wheel support. Each wheel support is movable between a retracted position in which the wheel support extends along a side of the toy vehicle body, and an extended position in which the wheel support extends downwardly from the toy vehicle body with a front end of the wheel support being spaced apart from the toy vehicle body.

Provided is a transformable toy including a vehicle body having a lower surface provided with wheels and an upper surface opposite to the lower surface, and a straight-running driving assembly disposed in the vehicle body. The vehicle body includes at least two sections, a rotation driving assembly is disposed between two adjacent sections of the vehicle body and configured to drive the at least two sections of the vehicle body to rotate relative to each other to transform the vehicle body; when the at least two sections of the vehicle body rotate relative to each other into a transformed state, the vehicle body is in a rollable shape; when the at least two sections of the vehicle body rotate relative to each other into an unfolded state, the vehicle body runs under the action of the straight-running driving assembly.

A double-sided toy vehicle comprises a vehicle body, a driving mechanism, a transmission mechanism, a driven wheel set, a first driving wheel set and a second driving wheel set, in which the transmission mechanism comprises a reverse gear, a double gear, a transition gear, a first output gear and a second output gear; the reverse gear meshes with a rotating shaft gear of an electrical motor of the driving mechanism, and provided with an axial gear protruding axially and meshing with a first gear of the double gear; the double gear is provided at a position between the first output gear and the second output gear, achieving transmission of power of the electrical motor; the first output gear meshes with a second gear of the double gear through the transition gear, and the second output gear directly meshes with the second gear of the double gear to achieve the transmission.

Vehicles are disclosed which have a lower center of gravity than existing all-terrain, amphibious, and unmanned ground vehicles due to the location of propulsion units and other vehicle components inside the wheels of the vehicle. The vehicles can climb over large obstacles yet are also able to corner at high speeds. The vehicles can be configured for direct manual operation or operation by remote control, and can also be configured for a wide variety of missions.

A toy top equipped with a motor having a battery as a power source, wherein a main body is furnished with: a first wheel and a second wheel provided a specified distance from each other in a wheel axis direction; and a motive power transmission mechanism, for transmitting motive power from the motor and for rotating the first wheel in a first direction while rotating the second wheel in a second different direction The toy top is stable with respect to external forces and with which a range of top games can be broadened.
