ABSTRACT:
A toy inertia motor for driving a rotatable power or drive shaft. The drive shaft is coupled, for example, to any suitable members or mechanisms such as the drive wheels on a toy car, or a windlass.
The motor comprises a rotatable flywheel, and separate winding and driving gear trains for coupling the flywheel to the drive shaft. A gear of the winding and driving gear trains is movable, in response to rotation of the drive shaft, between a normal drive position in the driving gear train to a wind position in the winding gear train. A latch is responsive to such gear movement for releasably latching the gear in its wind position. When so latched, the flywheel inertia can be built up by rotating the flywheel. When the latch is released, the gear returns to its drive position and the flywheel inertia is transmitted via the driving gears to the drive shaft.
