ABSTRACT:
A launching device for launching toy vehicles or other objects includes a mechanism for sequentially launching of a plurality of the vehicles. The landing device includes a handle with a launching ramp defined thereon. Rotatably mounted on the handle is a vehicle support platform capable of holding a plurality of vehicles or objects to be launched. Propelling devices such as rubberbands are attached to the platform and are extended or tensioned by placement of a vehicle onto the platform. A latch is released to launch the vehicle by a trigger mounted on the handle. The toy also includes a biasing member for automatically rotating the platform relative to the launching ramp to position successive vehicles to be launched adjacent to the launching ramp. The rotating member may be a rubberband in which energy is stored by rotating or winding the platform relative to the handle through the employment of a winding mechanism.
