ABSTRACT:
A movable amusement toy in the form of a vehicle adapted for pulling, and which is also provided with a seat for a user to push the vehicle with his legs while sitting on the same. The vehicle could also be adapted for pedalling action. A "popper" or ejecting mechanism provides an action or ejecting or "popping" balls or similar objects into a chamber formed by a transparent cover on the toy vehicle during movement. The chamber transparent cover is highly visible to a child as the child rides or pulls the toy. The ejecting mechanism includes a head which is capable of simultaneously popping several of the balls or similar objects from a trough formed beneath the housing and is actuable through mechanical connection to the wheels of the vehicle so that rotation of the wheels during movement of the toy will actuate the mechanism to pop the various balls or similar objects. In another embodiment of the invention, the vehicle is provided with a popper mechanism which includes a dome or housing in the shape of an engine block and a second popper mechanism with a housing in the shape of an exhaust pipe extending from the engine block. Thus, the rapid movement of a number of plastic objects simultaneously in the housing representative of the engine block will provide the very visual representation of rapidly moving components and the movement of the objects in the exhaust pipe will provide the very visual representation of moving gases out of the exhaust pipe.
