Abstract: A TOY VEHICLE WHICH CAN BE PROGRAMMED TO MOVE IN A DESIRED COURSE, BY INSERTING PLUGS INTO APPROPRIATE HOLES IN A PROGRAMMING WHEEL. THE PROGRAMMING WHEEL HAS THREE CONCENTRIC GROUPS OF HOLES, TO RECEIVE PLUGS TO DESIGNATE A LEFT TURN, RIGHT TURN, OR STRAIGHT-AHEAD MOVEMENT. THE PROGRAMMING WHEEL IS SLOWELY TURNED SO THAT IT MAKES ONE REVOLUTION WHILE THE VEHICLE MAKES ONE COMPLETE RUN ALONG ITS ROUTE, THE WHEEL BRINGING THE PLUGS SUCCESSIVELY INTO POSITION TO DIRECT THE COURSE OF THE VEHICLE. TWO SETS OF CAMS POSITIONED BELOW THE PROGRAMMING WHEEL ARE MOVED BY THE PLUGS TO TURN THE VEHICLE WHEELS, EACH SET OF CAMS INCLUDING A TURNING CAM WHICH CAN STEER THE VEHICLE AT A PREDETERMINED ANGLE, AND A RETURN CAM WHICH IS STRUCK BY A PLUG A PREDETERMINED TIME AFTER THE TURNING CAM IS STRUCK, TO RETURN THE VEHICLE TO ITS STRAIGHT-AHEAD POSITION AFTER THE VEHICLE HAS TURNED APPROXIMATELY 90* FROM ITS PREVIOUS DIRECTION.

Abstract: Apparatus in the form of a backpack for holding an astronaut figure, which plays a recorded saying as the pack and figure are lowered to the ground. The pack has a phonograph with a turntable that is rotated to play the record by pulling a string out of the pack. The string is pulled out by holding an outer end of the string and allowing the pack to slowly fall to the ground. The phonograph is contained in a housing, and the housing is supported on a pair of elongated members representing struts, the members having an integral strap for holding the toy figure to the housing.
