ABSTRACT:
A toy wheeled vehicle has a chassis which can be adapted to receive almost any style of vehicle body. The vehicle contains an elongated coiled spring enclosed within a tube having a substantially rectangular cross section. The vehicle has a keyhole aligned with the tube in the trunk area. The key hole and the tube have a guideway slot formed therein. This slot, together with the rectangular cross section, insures a properly aligned key, at the time of key insertion. The key includes a pair of leaf spring-like, spaced parallel plate members joined on each end and held in a separated position by a spacer post or pin positioned near the operational or handle end of the key. When the key is inserted into the tube, the coiled spring is compressed. A latch on the key fits and locks into a keeper in the tube to hold the spring in the compressed condition. When the spaced parallel key plate members are squeezed together, the latch is forced out of the keeper, and the car shoots out and across a table top, floor, or other suitable flat surfaces, as the compressed spring is released.
