ABSTRACT:
There is disclosed a conventional-type action toy in which a moving element, e.g., a wheel, is provided with a magnetized axle which rotates and moves back and forth along essentially parallel metal rails. In the prior art, means have not been provided for illuminating the moving element by providing a bulb therein, primarily because of the difficulty of mounting batteries within the small-size element. In accordance with the principles of the invention, the batteries are mounted in a compartment to which the ends of the rails are connected, the ends of the rails being connected to terminals of opposite polarities. The bulb, mounted inside the moving element, is connected to the two ends of the magnetized axle which rotates along the rails. Current thus flows through the rails and the axle to the bulb.
