Abstract
A remote controlled circuit breaker for battery powered riding toys and method of using is disclosed. The circuit breaker is capable of being installed into standard electrical systems of battery powered riding toys via complementary connectors. If the child encounters danger while riding, the handler of the remote control can push the “Stop” button to switch the circuit breaker, thus preventing electric current flow through the toy. Once danger is averted, the handler of the remote control can push the “Go” button, which switches the circuit breaker to allow current flow from the battery to the motor, and thus allowing movement of the vehicle.
Claims8
A toy comprising:
- a. an electric motor;
- b. a battery;
- c. a battery relay with a first end and a second end, wherein said first end is attached to said battery and said second end comprises at least one connector;
- d. a motor relay with a first end and a second end, wherein said first end is attached to said motor and said second end comprises at least one connector;
- e. a circuit breaker device having a casing and a first exterior end and a second exterior end;
- f. a first circuit breaker relay with a first end and a second end, said first end of said first circuit breaker relay attached to said first exterior end of said circuit breaker device, said second end of said first circuit breaker relay comprising at least one complementary connector to said connector of said battery relay;
- and
- g. a second circuit breaker relay with a first end and a second end, said first end of said second circuit breaker relay attached to said exterior second end of said circuit breaker device, said second end of said second circuit breaker relay comprising at least one complementary connector to said connector of said motor relay.
An apparatus comprising:
- a. a circuit breaker device having a casing and a first exterior end and a second exterior end;
- b. a first circuit breaker relay with a first end and a second end, said first end of said first circuit breaker relay attached to said first exterior end of said circuit breaker device, said second end of said first circuit breaker relay comprising at least one complementary connector to a connector of a battery relay of a battery-powered riding toy;
- and
- c. a second circuit breaker relay with a first end and a second end, said first end of said second circuit breaker relay attached to said second exterior end of said circuit breaker device, said second end of said second circuit breaker relay comprising at least one complementary connector to a connector of a motor relay of a said battery-powered riding toy.
A method of retrofitting a battery-powered riding toy with a circuit breaker device, wherein said riding toy comprises an electric motor, a battery, a battery relay having a first end connected to said battery, a motor relay having a first end connected to said motor, wherein a second end of said battery relay is connected to a second end of said motor relay, the method comprising the steps of:
- a. disconnecting said second end of said battery relay from said second end of said motor relay;
- b. connecting a second end of a first circuit breaker relay to said second end of said battery relay of said battery-powered riding toy, wherein a first end of said first circuit breaker relay is connected to a circuit breaker device;
- and
- c. connecting a second end of a second circuit breaker relay to said second end of said motor relay of said battery-powered riding toy, wherein a first end of said second circuit breaker relay is connected to said circuit breaker device.
A method of installing a circuit breaker device into battery-powered riding toy, wherein said riding toy comprises an electric motor, a battery, a battery relay having a first end connected to said battery, and a motor relay having a first end connected to said motor, the method comprising the steps of:
- a. connecting a second end of a first circuit breaker relay to a second end of said battery relay via complementary connectors, wherein a first end of said first circuit breaker relay is connected to a circuit breaker device;
- and
- b. connecting a second end of a second circuit breaker relay to a second end of said motor relay via complementary connectors, wherein a first end of said second circuit breaker relay is connected to said circuit breaker device.
