A toy vehicle (10) is provided having a configuration to simulate any desired vehicle. The toy vehicle includes a base (12) with a unitary spring-powered motor assembly (16) having a rear drive wheel assembly (18, 20), pivotably mounted within the base. The axle of the rear drive wheel assembly includes a detent (32) which coacts with an integral arm (36) formed in the base to lock the unitary spring-powered motor and drive wheel assembly in the wound position. Upon tapping of a finger against the top of the housing, the housing rotates downwardly to release the motor and allow the vehicle to accelerate forwardly.

The upwardly-extending reproducing stylus (100) is shielded within opening (24) in phonograph (16) when recorded-message carrier (12) is not in playing position by a cover member (246). A cam (256) unshields stylus (100) and exposes it in an arcuate slot (244) when a pin (274) on recorded-message carrier (12) exerts a downward force on cam (256) during the coupling of carrier (12) to opening (24) by engaging annular groove (290) with detents (44, 46, 48).

A toy casting machine including a base which has mounted thereon a crucible into which plastic materials may be placed for melting. The crucible is rotatably mounted to a sidewall and may be duped by an actuating mechanism which also moves a predesigned mold into position below the crucible. The crucible and machinery are entirely covered by transparent material to allow viewing the operation and to protect a child operating the machine. An isolating loading apparatus is provided to allow the machine to be loaded with raw material and molds without endangering the operator.

A toy projectile launching device having a main tubular member in fluid communication with an air pump, an air storage tank and a projectile launching housing rotatably coupled to the main tubular member. A valve member manually operable within the main tubular member, and with the valve member in a first position air from the air pump passes into the air storage tank; in a second position of the valve member, the pressurized air within the tank is released to propel a projectile within the housing. A third position of the valve member permits air from the air tank to be released in minute quantities to actuate an air-operated sounding device.

A toy launcher is provided for launching airplanes, missiles or the like, the launcher being provided with a base having a drum member pivotally mounted within the base, the periphery of the drum having a bearing for receiving the axis of a joy stick handle which is pivotally mounted with respect to the drum member. A gimbal mechanism within the drum is operatively connected to the handle and to a launch arm extending out from the drum, the launch arm containing a launch mechanism for releasably receiving airplanes or the like for launching the same in response to actuation of a trigger mechanism in the handle. Manipulation of the joy stick angularly displaces the surface of the launch arm to permit pre-positioning of the intended flight path and bank angle of the projectiles to a given attitude prior to launching.
