A children's ride-on toy includes at least two casters. The ride-on toy has a first caster mount connected to the body, wherein the first caster mount (138) comprises a first caster (112) receptacle (140), and a second caster (114) mount connected to the body, wherein the second caster mount comprises a second caster receptacle. In at least one embodiment, the first caster has an engagement shaft (142) that is uniquely adapted to engage the first caster receptacle, and the second caster has an engagement shaft that is uniquely adapted to engage the second caster receptacle. In at least another embodiment, a first bushing rotatably engages the first caster and is uniquely adapted to engage the first caster receptacle, and a second bushing rotatably engages the second caster and is uniquely adapted to engage the second caster receptacle.

The present invention is directed to an interactive intelligent toy that provides the appearance and experience of a person, animal, vehicle, or other character moving in, and/or interacting with, its environment or habitat on its own. In one embodiment, a motive component simulating the appearance of a person, animal, vehicle or other character comprises a drive mechanism to move the motive component, a control mechanism and a power source. The control mechanism is programmed to monitor and detect user and event inputs, and to detect and decode embedded codes in a pathway component and perform predetermined actions or generate predetermined sounds in response to the inputs and codes. In another embodiment, the motive component engages with a coupling component and supplies the drive mechanism and power source for moving both the motive component and the coupling component. In yet another embodiment, the motive component is adapted to perform certain actions upon contact with, or becoming in proximity to, an auxiliary component. The invention therefore provides a simulated character that appears to have a mind of its own in operating within a certain environment. Given that the intelligent element is able to supply the means (drive mechanism, control mechanism and power source) to enable other elements to perform actions, the cost of the toy can be minimized while providing a large variety of different activities and the ability to expand to new environments and activities.

A screw drive vehicle (10) has a main housing (20) with forward and aft ends (22, 24), and first and second lateral sides (26, 28). A first support arm (72) rotatably supports a first pontoon assembly (70a) from the first lateral side of the main housing. A second support arm (72) rotatably supports a second pontoon assembly (70b) from the second lateral side of the main body. A reversible motor (50) in the housing simultaneously rotates the support arms from positions parallel to one another and the main housing to non-parallel positions. Each pontoon assembly includes a tubular housing (82) with exterior screw thread (84) supported for rotation between distal ends of the arm and a reversible pontoon drive motor (130) operably coupled with the tubular housing so as to rotate the housing and thread in a selected rotational direction.

The invention provides a game toy device using a remote-controlled traveling toy which can be caused to make a movement which is more unexpected than in the prior art. A game toy device which is played by causing a remote-controlled traveling toy (1) having a single front wheel (5) and two rear wheels (7, 9) and remote-controlled by a remote control signal to travel on the travel surface of a game board. The respective diameters of the two rear wheels (7, 9) of the remote-controlled traveling toy (1) differ from each other. The use of the single front wheel (5) after the rear wheels (7, 9) are made to differ in diameter enables the remote-controlled traveling toy (1) to make an unexpected movement which no one has before experienced depending on the state of the travel surface.

A traveling toy and a radio-coatrolled traveling toy having a transmission which brings about an operational feeling like a real car is provided. Under a shift lever 4, there is provided a gear box 10 that covers the motor unit and is secured to a chassis rear portion 6, and a rear wheel shaft 8 extends through the gear box 10 covering a motor unit, with a crank box 12 being disposed on the gear box 10. A second slider 14 is disposed on the crank box 12, a first slider 16 is disposed on the second slider 14, and a shift shaft 18, which is a shaft portion of a shift lever 4, stands vertically from the first slider 16. On top of the shift shaft 18, a grasping section 20 is disposed to control the shift lever 4.
