Abstract
A rotating riding toy for children has adjustability in the linkage which causes the riding toy to rotate. It has been found that such adjustability can affect the ease of pumping or driving the riding toy rotationally as well as the rotational speed obtained. In addition, the seats are positionally adjustable to accommodate smaller and larger children. Quick release pins are envisioned for removing stabilizing legs from a base member to afford breakdown of the mechanism and portability.
Claims8
A children's rotating riding toy, comprising
- a base,
- a plurality of stabilizing legs attached to and extending outwardly from said base,
- an upwardly extending receiver attached to said base,
- a crank member fixed at a lower end in said receiver and having an upper end extending upwardly therefrom,
- a frame having opposing free ends, said frame being mounted for rotation on said crank member upper end,
- seat means attached to each of said opposing free ends of said frame,
- pumping means mounted to said frame within manual reach of each of said seat means,
- pivot means for attaching said pumping means to said frame,
- pumping link means pivotally attached to said pumping means at a point spaced from said pivot means at one end thereof and to said crank at an opposite end, and
- means for adjusting the length of said pumping link means for providing to adjustment of pumping mechanical advantage and subsequent riding toy rotational speed.
In a children's rotating riding toy having a base, a plurality of stabilizing legs extending outwardly from said base, an upwardly extending receiver attached to said base, a crank member fixed in said receiver at a lower end and having an upwardly extending free end, a frame having opposing free ends and being mounted for rotational movement on said crank free end, a seat attached near each of said frame opposing free ends, a pumping handle pivotally attached to said frame within manual reach of said seat, and a pumping link pivotally attached to said pumping handle and spaced from said frame at one end and to said crank at an opposite end, the improvement comprising
- means for adjusting the length of said pumping link thereby providing adjustment of pumping mechanical advantage and subsequent riding toy rotational speed.
