ABSTRACT:
A toy including a powered running toy member and a track along which the toy member runs, the toy member being made to run by rotation of the driving wheels of the toy member. The running toy member is provided with a switching arm which is attached to the lower side thereof and is adapted to trigger an operation for changing the running direction, and a mechanism for effecting the change of running direction when actuated by the swinging arm. On at least one end of the track, a mechanism is provided for causing swinging movement of the switching arm to automatically change the running direction of the toy member as the toy member reaches that end of the track. The running toy member has the form of an animal such as, for example, a bird, and incorporates various mechanisms for effecting various actions simulating those of the actual animal, e.g., turning of the head, opening of a beak, etc., by making use of power provided by the driving wheels. The track is formed by a plurality of track pieces, at least one of which may be provided with the mechanism for causing swinging of the switching arm so that turning of the running toy member can be effected at a desired position on the track.
