Embodiment Construction

[0026]Although specific terms are used in the following description for sake of clarity, these terms are intended to refer only to particular structure of the invention selected for illustration in the drawings, and are not intended to define or limit the scope of the invention.

[0027]Referring initially to FIG. 1, a radio controlled ornithopter duck toy device 10 is shown that includes an IR beam gun 12, an ornithopter flying object 14, and a RC controller 15. The toy device 10, in one embodiment, is preferably adapted to be used by two users wherein one of the users controls RC controller 15 and the other user operates the IR gun 12. The flying object 14, in this one preferred embodiment, is configured to receive infra-red signals from IR gun 12. However, it is understood that in other alternative embodiments, the flying object 14 also can be configured to send infra-red signals back to IR gun 12 in addition to receiving the signals.

[0028]Referring to FIGS. 2 and 3, flying toy obje...

Abstract

A radio controlled flying toy device having a duck-shaped flying object, a RC controller and an IR beam gun is provided wherein the controller and gun are respectively operated by a first and second user. Both the beam gun and RC controller can charge the flying object. The flying object has a pair of flapping wings whose speed and directional characteristics are controlled by the RC controller. The IR beam gun sequentially loads and fires IR beam radiations towards the duck object. The gun is specifically adapted to hit the duck with the IR beam, whereas the RC controller is specifically adapted to prevent the duck from being hit by the IR beam. The duck object includes a controller unit/micro controller that is configured to allow the duck to fly after being shot for two successive occasions by the gun and fall after being shot for the third successive occasion.

Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0001]1. Field of the Invention[0002]The present invention relates to radio controlled flying toys and, more particularly, to a flying duck toy adapted to be shot down with an infra-red (IR) beam gun.[0003]2. Description of Related Art[0004]The prior art suggests flying toy devices that are adapted to be radio controlled (RC) by the remote controllers. These devices typically control the flapping rate of the wings of the flying toy devices / ornithopters to facilitate climbing, descending, takeoff and landing motions and control the position of the tail for turning. For example, U.S. Pat. No. 6,550,716 describes the use of RC means for ornithopter motion control. However, it has been observed that the prior art flying toy devices / ornithopters have substantially failed to suggest or disclose the use of infra-red systems and / or devices in conjunction with these RC control systems.[0005]The use toy guns in conjunction with prior art flying objects is well known...
