Abstract

A new version of a Tavi wheel toy is disclosed with a wheel compatible in being rolled by a shoe mounted on an extended handle. The wheel and the handle both carry LEDs that are energized and connected to motion detectors. In use, the wheel is engageable by a shoe mounted at one end of the handle and the shoe can be used to urge the rolling of the wheel. The shoe also includes a roller bearing that assists in reducing any fiction when the shoe engages the wheel.

Claims

1. A Tavi wheel for playing a wheel rolling game with a wheel and with an extended handle with a shoe mounted thereon for engaging the wheel, the improvement in which comprising:

A plurality of wheel LEDs disposed about the wheel and wired to at least one motion detector installed on said wheel;

A battery for energizing the wheel LEDs when a wheel motion detector is activated;

A plurality of handle LEDs disposed about the extended handle wired to at least one motion detector on said handle; and

,

A battery for energizing the handle LEDs when a handle motion detector is activated.

2. The Tavi wheel of claim Number 1, where the improved Tavi wheel further includes a shoe that has a roller bearing for rolling engagement with the wheel.

5. The Tavi wheel of claim Number 1, where the improved Tavi wheel further includes a plurality of handle LEDs disposed about the extended handle and wired to at least one motion detector on said handle and a battery for energizing the handle LEDs when a handle motion detector is activated.

3. A Tavi wheel for playing a wheel rolling game with a wheel and with an extended handle with a shoe mounted thereon for engaging the wheel, the improvement in which comprising:

A plurality of wheel LEDs disposed about the wheel and wired to at least one motion detector installed on said wheel; and

,

A battery for energizing the wheel LEDs when a wheel motion detector is activated.

4. The Tavi wheel of claim Number 3, where the improved Tavi wheel further includes a shoe that has a roller bearing for rolling engagement with the wheel.

6. A new Tavi wheel toy, for trundling a wheel, comprising:

An extended handle member with a handle grip end and with a shoe mounted on the opposing end, with handle LEDs disposed about the extended handle;

A wheel with a rolling surface and with wheel LEDs disposed about said wheel;

A handle wring harness in said handle, electrically connected to at least one motion detector and a battery, where said handle wiring harness energizes said handle LEDs when the motion detector is activated by the motion of the handle; and

,

A wheel wiring harness in said wheels electrically connected to at least one motion detector and a battery, where said wiring harness energizes said wheel LEDs when the motion detector is activated by the motion of the wheel.

7. The Tavi wheel toy of claim Number 6, where the shoe includes a shoe slot for compatibly engaging said wheel when rolling the wheel with the handle.

8. The Tavi wheel toy of claim Number 7, where the shoe further includes a roller bearing for rolling engagement of the roller bearing with the rolling surface of the wheel.
