WIND-UP RIDE ON TOY

Abstract:

Described is a wind-up ride on toy with wind-up mechanism to propel a rider. The ride on toy comprises a body portion having a seat portion. A first axle is rotatably connected with the body portion, while a pair of wheels are connected with the first axle. The wind-up mechanism has an elastic band and a rotatable spool. The elastic band is fixed at a first end within the body portion and is attached with the rotatable spool at a second end. Additionally, the rotatable spool is operably connected with the first axle, such that winding the elastic band around the spool causes the elastic band to transition from a relaxed state to a stretched state and, upon allowing the elastic band to return to the relaxed state, the spool rotates the first axle and pair of wheels, thereby causing the wind-up ride on toy to propel forward.
