Radio-controllable spherical toy vehicle

A radio-controllable substantially spherical toy vehicle, which comprises a hollow, substantially spherical toy body having at its center a horizontal center-shaft;

• a running means mounted to an axial center of said center-shaft so as to be rotatable circumferentially on said center-shaft;
• a fixing shaft horizontally secured to a base frame of said running means normally to the axial direction of said center-shaft;
• and a direction-control means mounted to said fixing shaft so as to be swingable on an axis of the latter;
• said running means being rotatable circumferentially on said center-shaft by a driving motor, said direction-control means being swingable on said axis of said fixing shaft by a servo-motor and wherein said substantially spherical toy body comprises a central element of substantially annular strip, a right-side element of substantially hemispherical shell and a left-side element of substantially hemispherical shell, said central element at its peripheral edge being provided circumferentially with a fitting groove, while said right-side and left-side elements at their peripheral open edges being provided circumferentially with respective fitting protrusions fittable into said fitting groove;
• a rotatable and slidable switch-activating element having a rotatable knob inserted into a hole passing through a concave bottom wall of said spherical toy body;
• said switch-activating element having at its base a switch-pushing disk into which said center-shaft is inserted;
• a switch button fixed to said base frame of said running means;
• said knob, when rotated, causing said disk to slide along said center-shaft to push said switch button to permit switch operation of said driving motor.
