ABSTRACT:
A toy vehicle includes a vehicle body and front and rear wheels that are mounted on respective front and rear regions of the vehicle body for rotation about their axes. The toy vehicle further includes a pair of wings that is mounted on the vehicle body for movement between their extended, spread apart positions and their retracted positions. An upper jaw is mounted on the front region of the vehicle body for pivoting between a raised and a lowered position. A reversible electric motor and a gear transmission interposed between the motor and the rear wheels are accommodated in a common housing. The housing is mounted on the vehicle body for tilting movement about the axis of the rear wheels. A kinematic linkage translates the tilting movement of the housing that occurs in automatic response to energization of the motor in the appropriate sense into the movement of the wings and the pivoting of the upper jaw.
