ABSTRACT:
The toy vehicle launcher includes lower and upper casing units, the upper unit being slidable in a rectilinear direction relative to the lower unit. Rubber feet on the lower unit frictionally engage the playing surface onto which the toy vehicle is launched. The vehicle is acted upon by a ram having a gear rack in mesh with a relatively large circular gear. Two relatively small circular gears are in mesh with a gear rack on the lower casing unit. All three gears are mounted for rotation in unison on a shaft journaled in bearing plates integral with the upper unit. Manual actuation of the upper casing unit in one axial direction relative to the lower casing unit causes the ram to push the toy vehicle, thereby launching the vehicle.
