A walking toy includes a body on which gravity center position adjusting members and paired legs are supported to be able to swing in a forward/backward direction, and a gearbox which has a crank mechanism for forcibly swinging the paired legs alternately forward and backward in a forcible swinging direction and which is mounted in the body. Each of the paired legs has a bottom which is configured to be in contact with a floor surface and which is formed into a curved face curved in the forcible swinging direction. The gearbox is driven by a torsion coil spring and has a lever which rotates a drive gear of a gear train for transmitting rotation of the torsion coil spring to an output shaft for rotating the crank mechanism.

Provided are methods, apparatus and articles for vehicles, such as or relating to a skid-plate shock absorber, body mounting, chassis assembly, component securing, engine mounting, slipper clutch, and transmission housing that may be employed in the assembly, operation, and control of vehicles.

A self-propelled rocket toy includes an elongated body located along a longitudinal axis having a top end opposite a bottom end. The body may include at least two supports outwardly extending from and fixed relative to the body. A propeller is centered about the longitudinal axis located about the body's bottom end. An electric motor is disposed within the body and mechanically coupled to the propeller. A power source is disposed within the body and electrically coupled to the electric motor. An activation mechanism is electrically coupled to the electric motor and power source. The activation mechanism may be a launch button or a centrifugal switch. The at least two supports are fins extending outwardly and are configured to induce an autorotation for a controlled descent, either by their shape and design and/or by including a pivotably attached flap.

A self-propelled toy includes a toy body, a drive and control module, including a housing, an axle with wheels arranged on opposing ends and an axel drive/driven gear attached to the drive and control module within the housing. A pull-back mechanism arranged in, on or otherwise attached and mechanically connected to the drive and control module Upon pulling back the toy body while maintaining the wheels touching a ground like surface, the pull-back mechanism generates and stores mechanical potential energy in a spring/tensioning motor mechanism, which upon release of the toy body, translates to kinetic energy and with the wheels touching the ground like surface drives the toy body in a direction opposite that of the pull-back direction.

A movable figurine assembly includes a support, a figurine, and a movement mechanism. The support includes a guide track. The figurine includes a movable body and a traveler that engages with the guide track. The movement mechanism includes a coupling and a motor. The motor is operatively coupled to the figurine by the coupling to move the figurine. The traveler engages with the guide track and guides the figurine to move along the guide track when the motor is operated to move the figurine.

A transmission assembly for bouncing toys includes a transmission shaft and a push rod, wherein the transmission shaft is composed of a first transmission shaft, a transmission gear, and a second transmission shaft. The transmission shaft body is provided with a plurality of protruding rods, and the inclination angles of each protruding rod are inconsistent. The push rod body is provided with a node, and the transmission shaft is provided above the push rod. When the rotating shaft rotates, the protruding rod of the transmission shaft pushes the node of the push rod forward. The bouncing device can be triggered by pressing the button downward to push the disk above the push rod, or the transmission gear is driven by the power supply to drive the transmission shaft to rotate.
