ABSTRACT:
A toy vehicle having an inertia motor and a wheel adapted to be driven thereby, the vehicle having a drive gear operatively connected to the inertia motor, the periphery of the gear extending partially below the surface of the vehicle. A housing in the form of a fire station or the like is provided with a simulated chimney, which has a rack on the surface thereof within the housing, the chimney being depressible to operate a pinion carrying an enlarged diameter drum, having one end of a strap secured thereto for winding around the drum. The housing is provided with a ramp surface adapted for supporting the vehicle, the ramp being provided with a rotatably mounted hollow shaft having a power gear for engaging the drive gear within the vehicle, the power gear having a coil spring wound about a rod on the axis thereof with the outer end of the hollow shaft being configured to provide a small diameter drum having the other end of the strap means secured thereto. Restraining means are provided for engaging the vehicle so that upon depression of the rack the power gear is maintained in engagement with the drive gear, the power gear ceasing rotation when the rack is depressed to its extreme position whereby the inertia motor is energized and the vehicle leaves the housing.
