Claims13
A finger operated toy bicycle comprising a frame assembly, seat, handlebar, front and rear wheel and drive assemblies operatively connected to said frame assembly, the seat assembly including a seat and a seat post extending through a tubular portion defined by said frame, a rear wheel braking mechanism secured to said seat post and positioned to engage said rear wheel when said seat post is moved downwardly whereby when the seat is moved downwardly said seat post will move said rear wheel braking mechanism into engagement with said rear wheel to stop it from turning.
A finger operated toy bicycle comprising a frame assembly, seat, handlebar, front and rear wheel and drive assemblies operatively connected to said frame assembly, a front wheel braking mechanism connected to the front of the frame assembly and including a braking pin resiliently mounted in said frame adjacent said front wheel assembly whereby when said pin is engaged it will contact the front wheel assembly to stop it and when released will become disengaged therefrom.
A toy bicycle comprising a frame assembly, seat, handlebar, front and rear wheel and drive assemblies operatively connected to said frame assembly, the seat assembly including a seat and a seat post extending through a tubular portion defined by said frame, a rear wheel braking mechanism secured to said seat post and positioned to engage said rear wheel when said seat is moved downwardly, and a front wheel braking mechanism connected to the front of the frame assembly and including a braking pin resiliently mounted in said frame adjacent said front wheel whereby the rear wheel can be braked by flexing the frame downwardly to engage said member with the rear wheel assembly and the front wheel can be braked by pressing the resiliently mounted braking pin against the front wheel.
A finger operated toy bicycle comprising a flexible assembly, seat, handlebar, front and rear wheel and drive assemblies operatively connected to said frame assembly, a rear wheel braking mechanism including a member depending from said frame and positioned to engage said rear wheel upon flexing of said frame assembly whereby when the frame is flexed downwardly said member will engage said rear wheel to stop it from turning.
