Abstract
A vehicle toy assembly is provided having the capability of being reconfigured through a time control action into a second configuration. During the transformation, projectiles can be fired and a miniaturized vehicle can be released and propelled from the toy assembly.
Claims11
A space vehicle toy assembly comprising:
- a base member;
- means for movement of the base member across a support surface;
- an upper housing member having movable wall members connected to the base member, the wall members being initially positioned to provide a closed encapsulated space for simulating a compartment for operators and alternatively being pivoted outward from the base member to provide a simulated opened command room with individual work areas for toy figures;
- a lower housing member positioned beneath the upper housing member and relatively movable into or out of the base member;
- means for firing projectiles on the lower housing member including a toy vehicle projectile;
- means for biasing the wall members to an open position;
- means for biasing the lower housing member to a position extended from the base member, and timing means for providing a controlled releasing of the lower housing member to move away from the base member and to carry the projectiles with the lower housing member until the lower housing member moves a predetermined distance away from the base member, the timing means further providing an immediate release of the wall members.

A simulated space vehicle toy assembly comprising:
- a base member;
- an upper housing member having movable wall members connected to and positioned above the base member, the wall members capable of being positioned to provide a closed encapsulated space for simulating a compartment for an operator and alternatively being expanded to provide a simulated opened command room with individual work areas for toy figures that are accessible to a child for play action;
- a lower housing member connected to the base member beneath the upper housing member and relatively movable to project into or out of the base member;
- means for sequentially firing a plurality of projectiles from the lower housing member including a toy vehicle projectile;
- means for biasing the lower housing member to an extended position from the base member, and
- means to release the lower housing member from the base member.
