Abstract

Steering and suspension mechanism for toy vehicles characterized by the fact that it is essentially constituted by an elongated piece, precisely of hard and elastic material, preferably plastic, which is adapted to pressure in a corresponding elongated cavity in longitudinal direction provided in the upper face of the lower cover of the vehicle, which hard and elastic piece is retained in its housing of the cover by the effect of pins existing precisely in the central part of said cover, which are pressed into the inside of corresponding elongated notches of lesser light width provided centrally and longitudinally in the elongated piece so that, without detaching it from such a clamping, its ends are susceptible to flex when subjected to pressure from bottom to top, with the circumstance that the subsequent notch extends to the rear edge of the elongated piece determining two arms whose i free end rests precisely on the axis of the rear wheels, which is simply housed in corresponding lateral openings of opening directed upwards provided in the lid of the toy vehicle, thus achieving a good suspension effect, giving also the particular circumstance of that, the front end of the elongated and flexible piece elbows obliquely upwards determining between it and the upper surface of the cover, a space in which is lodged and imprisoned a substantially prismatic piece that presents its flat top face and with equal inclination that the elongated front end of the elongated part, and from which upper end an orthogonally upward pivots up a pivot that in functions of axis around which the said substantially prismatic piece can oscillate, is inserted in a corresponding hole provided in the center of the edge front of the front end of the repeated elongated piece flexible, further emphasizing the fact that the oscillating part has a flat, rounded edge on its underside, a transverse groove directed downwardly suitable for receiving the axis of the front wheels, which is retained by the surface itself upper part of the cover on which the lower face of the oscillating part rests, all so that when the vehicle is pressed against a surface, the front wheels react against the oscillating part, and, this in turn against the front end of the elongated piece that flexes, thus achieving a good suspension effect, and so that when pressing against only one of the front wheels, the front axle rises more sharply on the same side causing the oscillation of the said oscillating piece around its upper pivot, with which consequently the front axle is dragged and inclined to a greater or lesser extent, simultaneously achieving an effect of suspension.
