ABSTRACT:
A steering system for radio or wire controlled traveling toys such as model cars having steerable wheels connected to a steering bar. Mechanism is in turn connected to the steering bar for actuation thereof and includes a pair of rack members connection to respective ends of the mechanism. A single electric drive motor provides the propulsion for the toy car through an axle and differential acting drive wheels and is in turn coupled through a slip gear to planetary gear drive clutches which may be alternately locked by means of a pair of solenoids and associated pawls. Output gears driven by the drive clutches in turn effect movement of one or the other of the rack members to steer the car. A centering spring for the steering mechanism returns the steering to straight ahead automatically once the turn energization is completed. The slip gear also will prevent damage to the drive and steering components once steering limits are reached.
