Abstract
A toy lawn mower includes a chassis having a first end and a second end and supported by a plurality of rotatable wheels, an animated figure or body section mounted to the chassis and arranged to shift between an unshifted position in which the animated figure is disposed toward the first end and a first shifted position in which the animated figure is rotated and shifted toward the second end, and a drive train operatively coupling the animated figure to at least one of the wheels such that the animated figure is movable between the unshifted position and the first shifted position in response to rotation of the at least one wheel.
Claims20
A toy lawn mower comprising:
- a chassis having a first end and a second end and supported by a plurality of rotatable wheels;
- an animated figure mounted to the chassis, the animated figure arranged to shift between an unshifted position in which the animated figure is disposed toward the first end and a first shifted position in which the animated gigure is rotated and shifted toward the second end;
- and
- a drive train operatively coupling the animated figure to at least one of the wheels such that the animated figure is movable between the unshifted position and the first shifted position in response to rotation of the at least one wheel.
A toy lawn mower comprising:
- a chassis supported by a plurality of rotatable wheels;
- a guide track operatively coupled to the chassis;
- an animated figure including an arm operatively engaging the guide track and arranged to shift along a path between a plurality of positions;
- a drive train responsive to movement of one of the rotatable wheels;
- a drive lever operatively interconnecting the drive train to the animated figure, the drive lever arranged to reciprocate along a path disposed in a vertical plane, the animated figure movable to the plurality of positions in response to movement of the drive lever.
A toy lawn mower comprising:
- a chassis supported by a plurality of rotatable wheels;
- a guide track operatively coupled to the chassis and arranged to shift along a path between a plurality of positions;
- a body section including an arm operatively engaging the guide track;
- a drive train responsive to movement of one of the rotatable wheels;
- a drive lever operatively interconnecting the drive train and the body section, the drive lever arranged to reciprocate forward and rearward in response to movement of the drive train, the body section movable to the plurality of positions in response to movement of the drive lever;
- and
- wherein the guide track is arranged to define an unshifted position in which the body section is disposed toward a rear end of the chassis, a first shifted position in which the body section is rotated about a transverse horizontal axis and is shifted toward a front end of the chassis, and a second shifted position in which a lower plane of the body section is disposed parallel to an upper plane of the chassis with the body section disposed toward the front end of the chassis.
