First Claim
Patent Images
1. An action toy vehicle comprising:
- a vehicular chassis;
a plurality of road wheels rotatably suspended from said vehicular chassis;
an auxiliary wheel;
a structure for supporting an auxiliary wheel, said structure being so constructed and arranged so as to be selectively shifting said auxiliary wheel between a first position in which said plurality of road wheels are in contact with a road surface and a second position in which said auxiliary road wheel is lowered for lifting a portion of the vehicular chassis for releasing at least one road wheel from a road surface;
means for selectively providing a control signal; and
means for selectively activating said structure in response to said control signal for shifting said auxiliary wheel from said first position to said second position while said vehicle is in motion on the road surface.

19. An action toy vehicle comprising:
-
a vehicular chassis; a plurality of road wheels rotatably suspended from said vehicular chassis; a steerable auxiliary wheel; a first structure for supporting said auxiliary wheel, said structure being so constructed and arranged so as to be selectively shifting said auxiliary wheel between a first position in which said plurality of road wheels are in contact with a road surface and a second position in which said auxiliary road wheel is lowered for lifting a portion of the vehicular chassis for releasing at least one road wheel from a road surface; means for selectively providing a control signal; means for selectively activating said structure in response to said control signal for shifting said auxiliary wheel from said first position to said second position while said vehicle is in motion on the road surface; and a second structure operating said auxiliary wheel for steering while said auxiliary wheel is placed in said second position.

20. An action toy vehicle comprising:
-
a vehicular chassis; a plurality of road wheels rotatably suspended from said vehicular chassis; a steerable auxiliary wheel; a first structure rotatably supporting said auxiliary wheel, said first structure normally holding said auxiliary wheel at a first position in which said auxiliary wheel is placed away from a road surface, being operable to a second position in which said auxiliary wheel is projected for lifting a front end of the vehicle for wheely action, and to a third position in which said auxiliary wheel is projected for lifting desired one lateral side of the vehicular chassis for two wheel drive action; and means for optionally and selectively activating said structure for operating said auxiliary wheel from said first position to one of said second and third positions. - View Dependent Claims (21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27)

28. An action toy vehicle comprising:
-
a vehicular chassis; a plurality of road wheels rotatably suspended from said vehicular chassis; a steerable auxiliary wheel; a first structure for supporting said auxiliary wheel, said structure being so constructed and arranged so as to be selectively shifting said auxiliary wheel between a first position in which said plurality of road wheels are in contact with a road surface and a second position in which said auxiliary road wheel is lowered for lifting a portion of the vehicular chassis for releasing at least one road wheel from a road surface; a second structure for operating said auxiliary wheel for steering while said auxiliary wheel is placed in said second position; means for selectively providing a control signal; and means for selectively activating said first and second structure in response to said control signal for shifting said auxiliary wheel from said first position to said second position while said vehicle is in motion on the road surface and causing steering action in said auxiliary wheel for selectively performing desired wheely action and lifting of one side of said vehicle.
