Abstract
A child's toy having a rider supporting body which is in turn supported on spaced, opposed rockers. The body rotatably supports forward and rearward wheels. The foreward wheel is so positioned that it contacts a supporting surface upon forward rocking motion to allow forward lineal motion of the toy. The rearward wheel aids in preventing rearward tipping of the toy. The body configurationally simulates a motor cycle.
Claims1
A wheeled rocker toy comprising, in combination:
- rocker structure providing similar opposed elongate rockers in spaced, parallel relationship, each of said rockers having similar arcuate lower surfaces to simultaneously contact a planar supporting surface;
- a rigid body structure supported between and above the rockers, said body having
- a seat in its upper portion to support a user
- paired opposed foot rests in its lower medial portion to support the feet of a user,
- handlebar structure in its upper forward portion to support the hands of a user;
- forward wheel support structure depending from the forwardmost part of the body structure to rotatably support a front wheel, said wheel being configured and positioned to contact an underlying supporting surface before the rockers have reached their forwardmost rocking limit to then support the forward portion of the toy to allow its forward linear motion relative to the supporting surface;
- and
- rearward wheel support structure depending from the rearwardmost part of the body structure to support a rearward wheel, said wheel being configured and positioned to contact an underlying supporting surface at the time the rockers have reached their rearwardmost rocking position to aid in preventing the toy from tipping rearwardly.
