Toy airplane having elastic landing gear

Abstract

A toy airplane includes a fuselage, a main wing and a stabilizing fin and a rudder fin extended from the fuselage, and a landing gear having an arm extended from the fuselage and one or more wheels attached to the arm. The arm includes one or more depressions formed in the arm, and preferably facing upwardly for increasing a resilience of the arm and for allowing the wheel to be resiliently engaged onto ground and to be prevented from forcefully striking onto the ground while landing. The landing gear may be attached to the front or the middle portion of the fuselage. One or more bent portions may further be formed in the arm for further increasing the resilience of the arm.

Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0001]1. Field of the Invention[0002]The present invention relates to a toy airplane, and more particularly to a toy airplane having a landing gear that includes a cushioning or flexible or elastic or resilient support for allowing the landing gear to be resiliently or elastically engaged onto the ground and for preventing the toy airplane from directly striking onto the ground while landing.[0003]2. Description of the Prior Art[0004]Typical toy airplanes comprise a fuselage including one or more horizontal wings laterally extended from the middle portion thereof, and including one or more vertical rudder fins extended from the rear portion thereof, and including one or more horizontal stabilizing fins laterally extended from the rear portion thereof, and may comprise a number of plates or sheets foldable and attachable together to form the fuselage and the horizontal wings and the vertical rudder fins and the horizontal stabilizing fins.[0005]For example,...

AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

[0009]The primary objective of the present invention is to provide a toy airplane including a landing gear that has a cushioning or flexible or elastic or resilient support for allowing the landing gear to be resiliently or elastically engaged onto the ground and for preventing the toy airplane from striking onto the ground while landing.

[0010]In accordance with one aspect of the invention, there is provided a toy airplane comprising a fuselage, a main wing and a stabilizing fin and at least one rudder fin extended from the fuselage, and a landing gear including an arm extended from the fuselage, and including at least one wheel attached to the arm, and the arm including at least one depression formed in the arm for increasing a resilience of the arm and for allowing the wheel to be resiliently engaged onto ground and to be prevented from forcefully striking onto the ground while landing.

[0011]The wheel is rotatably attached to the arm with an axle. The arm preferably includes a curved structure, and / or includes at least one bent portion formed therein for further increasing the resilience of the arm.

Problems solved by technology

Most of the typical toy airplanes have no landing gears attached to the bottom of the fuselage such that the fuselage may be directly striking onto the ground while landing, and such that the fuselage may have a good chance to be damaged after landing.

However, the triangular light metal bracket or landing frame includes a solid triangular structure having no cushioning or flexible or elastic or resilient structure formed therein such that a great force may also be applied onto the landing gear and then onto the fuselage while landing, and such that the fuselage may also have a good chance to be damaged after landing.
