ABSTRACT:
A self-propelled wheeled toy includes a housing defining an external body portion and an internal chamber. A spring-type drive motor is mounted in the internal chamber and drivingly connected to the wheels. The motor is cocked by a manually actuatable lever pivotally mounted within the chamber and extends through a slot. A projectile capturing member is pivotally mounted on the housing to provide a target for a projectile directed toward the toy. Once an object is captured, the projectile capturing member pivots due to the weight of the object and engages a switch actuating the motor and causing the toy to move across a suitable supporting surface. As the motor operates, the lever is rotated and engages the capturing member causing the member to pivot and discharge the object.
