ABSTRACT:
An easily propellable toy constructed substantially of a soft, compressible, resilient material such as polyurethane foam or other foam rubber-like material, wherein the resiliency of the material is captured and converted to rotational motion which moves the toy. A compression plate on the top portion of the toy is depressed by the child playing with the toy, causing compression of the foam rubber body of the toy. When the compression plate is released, the natural resiliency of the foam material pushes the compression plate up, simultaneously causing linear movement of an elongate member which is attached to the underside of the compression plate. This linear movement of the elongate member is converted, by means of a gear train, to rotational movement which is then communicated to the wheels of the toy.
