A toy vehicle control mechanism for performing stunts includes a rod coupled to a connection piece that permits a user to selectively manipulate a toy vehicle. The rod includes a rod-tip and a shaft, and the connection piece is formed as a loop or arch shaped structure that is secured to a toy vehicle as an interface for the rod-tip. The rod-tip has an interior opening and an exterior notch with a solid section separating the notch from the opening. The rod-tip and connection piece are configured so that the connection piece can travel around within the opening and be manipulated by selectively engaging the rod-tip's notch with various portions of the connection piece.

Described is a wind-up ride on toy with wind-up mechanism to propel a rider. The ride on toy comprises a body portion having a seat portion. A first axle is rotatably connected with the body portion, while a pair of wheels are connected with the first axle. The wind-up mechanism has an elastic band and a rotatable spool. The elastic band is fixed at a first end within the body portion and is attached with the rotatable spool at a second end. Additionally, the rotatable spool is operably connected with the first axle, such that winding the elastic band around the spool causes the elastic band to transition from a relaxed state to a stretched state and, upon allowing the elastic band to return to the relaxed state, the spool rotates the first axle and pair of wheels, thereby causing the wind-up ride on toy to propel forward.

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.

A body mounting assembly, system, and method are provided. The body mounting assembly includes a tongue assembly and a tongue retainer assembly. The body mounting assembly also includes a latch assembly and a latch retainer assembly. The latch assembly is releasably engaged to the latch retainer assembly when a latch engagement surface and a latch retainer engagement surface are interlock together. The latch engagement surface and the latch retainer engagement surface comprise negative engagement angles. A body mount includes one of the latch assembly or the latch retainer assembly and a chassis mount includes the other. The tongue assembly is releasably coupled to the tongue retainer assembly when a tongue member is inserted into a tongue retainer aperture. A second body mount includes one of the tongue assembly or the tongue retainer assembly and a second chassis mount includes the other.

A children's ride-on vehicle assembly comprises a vehicle body and an interchangeable cleaning apparatus. The vehicle body comprises a front end and a rear end. The vehicle body further comprises a seat sized for a child. The vehicle body further comprises a plurality of driving wheels and a steering assembly. The plurality of driving wheels is rotatably coupled to the vehicle body and adapted to contact a floor surface. The steering assembly comprises a steering mechanism for use by the child sitting on the seat of the vehicle body and a plurality of steerable wheels. The interchangeable cleaning apparatus is attached to the vehicle body and is configured to clean the floor surface while the vehicle body moves around the floor surface.

A magnet holder insert comprising a magnet and magnet holder housing designed with internal wall features capable of keeping the magnet properly positioned in the holder device, and external wall features capable of keeping the magnet holder device securely mounted in the finished part. The internal and external fastening elements of the magnet holder housing are designed in such a way as to promote rapid and secure assembly of both the magnet device and the finished part. The exposed surface of the magnet holder device can be configured with flat or dome shaped exposed contact surfaces, depending on how secure or flexible the magnetic joining feature is intended, capable of attaching to another magnet device or a material susceptible to magnetic attraction.

A method of modifying a driveline of a toy vehicle is provided. The first step involves disengaging a first end of an original drive shaft of the toy vehicle from a gearbox of the toy vehicle, where the gearbox is in a location such that it limits the travel of the suspension of the toy truck beuase it can come into contact with the differential. The second step involves disengaging a second end of the original drive shaft of the toy vehicle from a transfer box. The third step includes removing the original drive shaft from the toy vehicle. The fourth step involves dismounting the gearbox from the first and second longitudinal beams of the chassis. Next, the transfer box is dismounted from the first and second longitudinal beams of the chassis. The gearbox is then remounted to the first longitudinal beam with a first bracket and to the second longitudinal beam with a second bracket such that the gearbox is positioned at an offset from a central longitudinal axis of the chassis, and located such that the gearbox is positioned away from the differential on the opposite side of the central longitudinal axis. The transfer box is then remounted to the chassis in a position that is 180 degrees relative to the original mounting position. Next, a first end of a replacement drive shaft assembly is attached to the gearbox and a second end of the replacement drive shaft assembly is attached to the transfer box. Finally, the propeller shaft is reengaged with the transfer box. A modified toy vehicle driveline and a kit for modifying a toy vehicle driveline are also provided.

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.
