Abstract
A toy vehicle having a receiver, a drive motor, a steering motor, and a plurality of spring assemblies. The spring assemblies each have a spring, a solenoid, and a pin. The toy vehicle includes a rear cargo unit having a plurality of receptacles for housing the springs therein. A beverage can is stored on top of each spring, and when the solenoid is energized, the pin is released and the can is pushed upwardly into the air. The receiver is in communication with a remote transmitter, having directional controls for controlling the drive motor and the steering motor, and can release buttons. The remote transmitter signals the receiver for controlling the drive motor, the steering motor, and the spring assemblies.
Claims9
A toy vehicle, having a rear cargo unit, for releasing cans of beer and soda from within the rear cargo unit of the vehicle upwardly into the air, under the control of a remote transmitter capable of transmitting radio signals, comprising:
- a receiver for receiving radio signals from the transmitter;
- a drive motor attached to the toy vehicle and in communication with the receiver for providing mobility to the vehicle;
- a steering motor attached to the toy vehicle and in communication with the receiver for alerting direction of the toy vehicle;
- a plurality of circular receptacles attached to the rear cargo unit of the toy vehicle, each having a bottom interior surface, adapted to hold cans of, beer and soda therein;
- a plurality of spring assemblies, each having a solenoid and a spring, said spring is coupled to the bottom interior surface of each receptacle for allowing the can to rest thereon and discharging the can upwardly into the air from the circular receptacle when the solenoid is energized, each solenoid is in communication with the receiver.
A method of receiving a cold beverage from a toy vehicle under the control of a remote transmitter, said remote transmitter includes directional controls, can release buttons, and an antenna for transmitting radio signals therethrough, said toy vehicle having a receiver for communicating with the remote transmitter, said toy vehicle having a plurality of receptacles each having a bottom interior surface for housing cans of beer and soda therein, each having a spring assembly, having a solenoid, a spring attached to the bottom surface of each receptacle, and a pin extending from the solenoid through the receptacle for holding the spring underneath the can of beer or soda, each solenoid in communication with the receiver, said toy vehicle having a drive motor and a steering motor both in communication with the receiver, the steps comprising:
- actuating one of the can release buttons on the remote transmitter;
- transmitting the radio signal by the antenna of the remote transmitter to the receiver;
- receiving the signal by the receiver;
- and
- propelling the can into the air by releasing the spring, by retracting the pin, by energizing the solenoid.
