Wire guided toy car with cable operated steering - uses twin cables, running on pulleys in hand control and in car, to steer car and to transmit power to car.

摘要

The toy car has a hand held controller connected by cables to the toy car. The car is driven by an electric motor (30) supplied from batteries in the hand controller. A steering wheel on the controller steers the car via the connecting cables (31,32), and a speed control regulates the supply to the motor. The two steering cables are of equal length and pass over opposing sectors of a pulley driven by the steering wheel and a second pulley displaces the car steering mechanism. The cable ends are fixed to conductive segments on the face of the second pulley. The cables are electrically conducting and supply power to the motor through brushes running on the conductive segments. ADVANTAGE - Allows release of steering control to operate gear lever while vehicle is in motion and gives more precise steering.
