CA 2333000

A front portion (12) and rear portion (14) of a toy vehicle (10) are pivotally secured to each other by a pivot (32) and an over-center action spring mechanism (70). The front and rear portions define travel limit stops which secure the front and rear portions in a straight line arrangement in one direction of over-center spring action. Additional limit stops are provided in the opposite direction in which the front and rear portions are pivoted into a crash simulation configuration. In one embodiment, the pivotal attachment of the front and rear portions of the toy vehicle allows pivotal movement in the horizontal position while, in an alternate embodiment, the pivotal attachment between front portion and rear portion of the vehicle allows pivotal movement thereof in the vertical plane. In both instances, the over-center action of the spring mechanism operative upon the pivot provides a maintaining spring force for straight line configuration and for angled crash simulation configuration.

Selon cette invention, les parties avant (12) et arrière (14) d'un véhicule-jouet (10) sont reliées l'une à l'autre au moyen d'un pivot (32) et d'un mécanisme à ressort à action excentrique (70). Les parties avant et arrière délimitent des butoirs de fin de course qui permettent de positionner lesdites parties avant et arrière en ligne droite, dans une direction du ressort à action excentrique. Des butoirs supplémentaires sont orientés dans une direction opposée, dans laquelle les parties avant et arrière pivotent pour se mettre en position de simulation d'accident. Dans un mode de réalisation, le couplage par pivots des parties avant et arrière du véhicule-jouet permet un mouvement pivotant sur un plan horizontal. Dans un autre mode de réalisation, le couplage par pivots des parties avant et arrière du véhicule-jouet permet un mouvement pivotant sur un plan vertical. Dans les deux cas, l'action excentrique du mécanisme à ressort sur le pivot fournit une tension qui maintient une configuration en ligne droite ou une configuration en angle simulant un accident.
