Abstract
A combination toy vehicle and book, which also serves as a container for the toy, is formed by imprinting a multiplicity of uniformly sized pages with scenes upon which a user may operate the toy vehicle. By cutting out an identical region of each page, and by binding the pages together along one side, a book is formed which contains a well in which the toy vehicle may be stored. The inventive device may also serve as a marketing package by inserting a toy vehicle in the well formed by the cut-out regions, and by covering at least the well formed by the cut-out regions of the book with a transparent sheet or bubble.
Claims8
A combination toy article comprising a removable three dimensional toy vehicle having at least one rotatable supporting wheel and a book having a plurality of relatively heavy pages, each of said pages containing graphic material in the form of a different illustrated scene or game, each of said pages further containing a cut-out region which cooperates with said scene or game and which aligns with all other cut-out regions to form a well at least large enough to completely receive and contain said three dimensional toy vehicle when the book is closed, means for binding each of said pages along one edge such that when bound together said cut-out regions cooperate to form said well in the book with said removable three dimensional toy means completely housed within said well, the pages having said graphic material formed thereon which cooperates with said toy to provide a playing surface, along which the toy means may be moved while being supported by said rotatable wheel.
