A toy vehicle having a toy body, with a motor geared down to drive the rear wheels, and a geared annular hub with adjustable multi-directional adjustment devices mounted on the periphery of the geared annular hub, with projections which contact either an upper rod or a lower rod, or neither, during rotation of the annular hub, causing front heels of the toy to turn to the left, right or maintain straight travel respectively. After the upper or lower rod pivots to move a respective spring connected other upper or lower rod respectively, the front wheels are deflected to the left or right in travel, and tension springs fixed between a forward shifting transverse rod and the toy body immediately pull the front wheel turn mechanism back to its original position for continuance of straight line travel.
A toy vehicle with a chassis (1), a pair of non-steerable wheels (2) and a pair of steerable wheels (3) mounted on the chassis, a reversible motor (4) mounted on the chassis and fitted with a first outlet shaft (5) associated with a transmission (6) for driving at least one of the non-steerable wheels in a forward direction regardless of the direction of rotation of the motor, and with a second outlet shaft (14) carrying at least one control tooth (15). The steerable wheels are mounted on supports (7) that are pivoted to the chassis about respective substantially vertical axes (8) and are interconnected by a tie-bar (11). A steering control stud (13) is carried by the tie-bar (11) and faces the second outlet shaft (14) and extends parallel thereto.
A direction-converting device for a remote-controlled toy is disclosed wherein a rotor shaft is supported between the opposite contact faces of coil bobbins of an equally divided electromagnetic coil, said each bobbin accommodating a rotor magnet rotatably in a hollow inside and being wound in parallel with the rotor shaft in multiple turns with coils to form an electromagnetic coil assembly, and said rotor shaft at its one end communicating through a crank with a controlling element for shifting the direction so as to allow the electromagnetic coil to control the magnetic polarity of the rotor magnet by means of a remote control system.
This patent disclosure teaches a moving, vehicle toy having a hand operable selector knob that determines the direction of single guide wheel that is steered by the action of a pivotally mounted steering arm that is rotated by means of a lever arm that engages with any one of several cam surfaces of a powered cam shaft.
A toy automobile is disclosed, in which when the toy automobile runs through a curved path, a roller of a bumper of the automobile is pushed back by the wall of the track, so that the toy automobile can run through the curved path by turning the front wheels to left or right, thereby preventing the automobile from being detached from the track, or from being overturned. Universal joints 15 are respectively formed on ends of the front shaft 5 to be connected to the front wheels. Shaft retainers 16 of the front wheels are respectively supported by supporting plates 17 of the automobile body 1 by means of king pins 18. A bumper 20 is installed on a front end of the automobile body 1 by utilizing a guide slot 21, a supporting pin 22 and a spring 23 so as to make the bumper 20 turnable to left and right within the limits of the guide slot 21. A pair of steering bars 24 are respectively connected to arms 26 of the shaft retainers 16 of the front wheels. Rollers 30 and 31 are installed on both ends of the bumper 20 and are installed at both sides of an intermediate portion of the automobile body 1, whereby the rollers 30 and 31 contact to the inside of the wall of a track T, and the bumper 20 is pushed back so as to steer the front wheels.
