ABSTRACT:
A steering mechanism suitable for use in a running toy such as an automobile toy is proposed. The steering mechanism includes a supporting housing mounted on a chassis portion of the toy for free rotation to the left and right. The supporting housing movably carries a pair of assemblies each including a substantially U-shaped soft magnetic member and a coil wound round a suitable portion of each soft magnetic member. The supporting housing also carries rotatably two separate parts of the tire wheel shaft at such a position that these parts of the tire wheel shaft can magnetically attract and be contacted simultaneously by both ends of the respective U-shaped soft magnetic member when the associated coil is energized. When the coil is energized, the soft magnetic member is magnetically attracted and contacted at its both ends by the associated part of the tire wheel shaft to brake the latter. Simultaneously, the supporting housing itself is rotated around the axis of the shaft to steer the automobile to the desired direction.
