ABSTRACT:
A light display of the present invention is incorporated in a wheeled toy and is visible through a translucent or transparent cover. The light display includes a rotatable arm and a bracket which rotates on the arm. A generally vertical gear is rotated by movement of the toy and meshes with a pinion gear on the arm to rotate the arm. The light bracket is rotatably mounted on the arm spaced from the pinion gear so that it will orbit in the toy. The light bracket in turn has a pinion gear which meshes with a gear defined by a toothed surface of an opening in the toy. The meshing of the bracket gear with the toothed surface of the opening causes the bracket to rotate. The bracket houses electric light means, a battery, and a centrifugally operated switch. A movable weight, in the form of a bearing, is provided to facilitate closing of the switch even at slow speeds of rotation.
