Abstract

A radio controlled propulsion device for use with multiple buoyant objects. The device contains a radio receiver circuit, a motor drive circuit, and motors for steering and propulsion. The device also contains a battery pack to provide power to the circuits and motors. The circuits are responsive to signals from a transmitter controlled by the operator of the propulsion device. With the propulsion device inserted into a cavity formed in the body of the buoyant object, the output signals from the drive circuit are provided, to control the motion of the buoyant object.

Description

BACKGROUND OF INVENTION

[0001] The present invention relates generally to aquatic propulsion devices and, more particularly, to a self-contained, removable, radio controlled aquatic propulsion device, which may be used with a variety of floating toys, waterfowl decoys, aquatic novelty items and small boats.

[0002] A number of prior art devices exist, which include means to propel various objects through the water. A wide variety of radio controlled aquatic toys have been developed over the years. Many pertain specifically to single purpose toys with permanent electronics and drive systems. Such toys, while occasionally novel in design, can be expensive and the design specific nature, can lead to boredom with the toy. In addition, if the superstructure of the toy is damaged because of neglect, abuse or poor construction, the entire toy may be rendered unusable. As such, the toy industry has suffered from limited interest in this type of toy.

[0003] Several designs have been developed...
