Abstract
A remotely controlled vehicle that mechanically activates an action accessory. The vehicle contains a remotely controlled plunger that engages a trigger of the action accessory. Engaging the trigger activates a mechanism within the action accessory. Activation of the mechanism induces a mechanical action such as ejecting a projectile or loading items onto the vehicle. The plunger and vehicle are remotely controlled by a transmitter which emits command signals to a receiver located within the vehicle. In operation, the end user skillfully manipulates the vehicle over the trigger and then transmits a command to extend the plunger and activate the mechanism of the action accessory.
Claims17
A toy set, comprising:
- an action accessory which has a mechanism that is activated by a trigger;
- a remote controlled vehicle which has a receiver that receives a plurality of signals and a controller which controls the movement of said vehicle in response to at least one of said signals, said vehicle further having an activator that is activated by at least one of said signals and which engages said trigger to activate said mechanism of said action accessory, said vehicle has a guide that aligns said activator with said trigger;
- and,
- a remote transmitter which transmits said signals and allows an end user to selectively activate said activator.
A method for operating a toy set, comprising the steps of:
- a) transmitting a first signal to move a vehicle adjacent to a trigger of a mechanism located within an action accessory;
- b) transmitting a second signal to selectively move an activator of said vehicle into engagement with said trigger and activating said mechanism of said action accessory;
- and,
- c) loading an object from said action accessory said vehicle when said mechanism is activated.
