Abstract:
A toy propulsion unit which pulls an aquanaut figure through the water, the figure being bendable so that it can be angled to cause the unit to dive or run in a circle. A frame for coupling the figure to the drive unit includes a pair of laterally spaced pontoon-shaped members joined together by a pair of vertically spaced connecting members, the drive unit being held between the connecting members. Each pontoon-shaped member has a hollow rear end for receiving a hand of the aquanaut figure, and a vertically oriented pin that traps the hand of the figure therein.
Abstract:
THIS IS A TOY VEHICLE INCORPORATING A SELF-CONTAINED MOTOR FOR PROVIDING ROTATIONAL POWER, A STEERING MECHANISM CONTINUOUSLY CHANGING ITS DIRECTION ONLY AS LONG AS RECEIVING ROTATIONAL POWER, A DRIVE MECHANISM FOR PROPELLING THE VEHICLE IN THE DIRECTION OF THE STEERING MECHANISM ONLY AS LONG AS RECEIVING ROTATIONAL POWER, AND A REMOTELY CONTROLLED TRANSMISSION MECHANISM CONTINUOUSLY OPERATIVELY COUPLED TO THE MOTOR FOR ALTERNATELY SHIFTING, UPON COMMAND, THE ROTATIONAL POWER FROM THE MOTOR TO EITHER THE STEERING MECHANISM OR TO THE DRIVE MECHANISM.
