Abstract
A toy three wheeled vehicle includes a retroflex articulated handle. The vehicle comprises a body member having a trapezoidal configuration with two rear wheels mounted on an axle and a front swivel wheel. The articulated handle includes two parts that are pivotally mounted together with one of the parts being, in turn, pivotally mounted to the body member within a recessed storage channel. The articulated handle, when in the retroflexion state, can be stored flush with the surface of the body member. The body member further includes a floor board having a pivotable portion which can be folded back upon itself to provide both an opening for an operator's legs and a seat for the operator.
Claims9
A toy vehicle comprising;
- a body member having a recessed channel;
- a plurality of wheels rotatively connected to the body member;
- and
- an articulated handle member connected to the body member and further having at least two parts pivotally mounted to each other and capable of retroflexion, the articulated handle member being stored within the recessed channel when in a state of retroflexion.
A three wheeled toy vehicle having an approximately trapezoidal shape comprising;
- an approximately trapezoidal body member having a recessed channel;
- an articulated handle member connected to the trapezoidal body member adjacent the recessed channel and capable of retroflexion, the channel having sufficient depth to permit the handle member to be stored within the recessed channel during retroflexion;
- a pair of rear wheels rotatively connected to the body member;
- a front wheel rotatively connected to the body member;
- a base member connected to the trapezoidal body member adjacent the rear wheels, and
- a seat member movably connected relative to the base member and the body member whereby the seat member can be operatively positioned on the base member to provide an opening for an operator's legs within the body member and also positioned adjacent the base member to form a coplanar support surface with the base member within the body member.
