ABSTRACT:
A toy for amusement purposes which is convertible between a toy vehicle and a finger ring. As a vehicle, the toy has rotatable wheels for rolling the vehicle on a surface. When the toy is re-configured as a ring, it becomes a ring for a finger with an ornament. The toy is comprised of a body member and two extending members pivotally attached to the body member. As a vehicle, one extension member extends forward relative to the body member and the other extends rearward thereby representing the hood, cab, and trunk sections of the vehicle. The second of the two extending members is also slidably attached to the body member. Both extending members have wheel assemblies attached to the end thereof opposite the end attached to the body member. The body member is oval in shape and ornamental in appearance. The pivotal and slidable attachments allow the extending members to be moved arcuately, relative to the body member for changing between a toy vehicle and a ring. As a ring, the extension members form an enclosure to be fit around the finger such that the extensions extend perpendicular to the body and parallel to each other. The enclosure size can be adjusted via the slidable attachment of the second member until a snug fit on the finger is established. The toy, whether worn as a ring or used as a vehicle, has tight fits between the respective pivotal and slidable attachments which function to secure the toy in the chosen shape or size until re-configured into a new shape or size.
