A light display of the present invention is incorporated in a wheeled toy and is visible through a translucent or transparent cover. The light display includes a rotatable arm and a bracket which rotates on the arm. A generally vertical gear is rotated by movement of the toy and meshes with a pinion gear on the arm to rotate the arm. The light bracket is rotatably mounted on the arm spaced from the pinion gear so that it will orbit in the toy. The light bracket in turn has a pinion gear which meshes with a gear defined by a toothed surface of an opening in the toy. The meshing of the bracket gear with the toothed surface of the opening causes the bracket to rotate. The bracket houses electric light means, a battery, and a centrifugally operated switch. A movable weight, in the form of a bearing, is provided to facilitate closing of the switch even at slow speeds of rotation.

Light display apparatus for a child's toy

Packaging is provided for a toy that includes a body having bottom wall having a slot. The packaging includes bottom, top, front, back and side walls defining a box sized to receive the toy and a key. The bottom surface of the box has an opening aligned with the toy's slot so that the key may be passed through the bottom box opening into the toy's body slot. The key includes a shaft, a head at one end of the shaft, and a base at another end of the shaft. The head is sized to fit through the box opening and body slot and shaped so that the key head will remain in the toy body when the key head is rotated in the body. The base of the key is sized to prevent passage of the base through the box opening. If the toy includes a wheel operated display, the box bottom may be provided with a slot which allows access to the wheel so that the display may be operated without removing the toy from the box.
