ABSTRACT:
A miniature toy vehicle launcher having an inclined platform adapted to support a toy vehicle in a launching position. A stop is provided which is movable from a hold position to hold the toy vehicle on the platform against movement and to a release position for release thereof. A finger is movably coupled with the stop to move it to the hold position, and the stop is spring biased by means of a first spring towards the release position to move the stop to the release position. A locking element retains the stop in the first position against the tension of the first spring, and a slide is spring biased by means of a second spring for movement to disable the locking element to cause the stop to move to its release position. The launcher includes a sound apparatus to simulate a vehicle launching sound, and a handle is provided both to activate the sound apparatus and to cam the slide at a point in the path of movement of the handle, to overcome the bias of the second spring to move the stop to its release position by means of the spring action of the first spring.
