Abstract
A toy simulated exploding vehicle is disclosed including a chassis having a front end and a rear end, and an ejector seat mounted on the chassis and movable between a normal tensioned position in which it supports a simulated driver in a driving position, and an ejecting position in which it ejects the driver from the seat. A rear bumper has an integral laterally extending plate-like member slidably mounted on the chassis for reciprocal movement of the rear bumper and plate-like member as a unit between first and second positions. The plate-like member has a free end thereof extending past the front end or bumper of the chassis. A latch is provided coupling the ejector seat to the plate-like member in a third position of the rear bumper and plate-like member. In this third position the ejector seat is releasably latched in its normal tensioned position. Movement of the rear bumper and plate-like member from the third position to one of the first and second positions releases the latch member causing the ejector seat to slam a front body member open and to eject the driver therethrough.
