Abstract

A rolling fluid-filled toy novelty having a transparent shell so that the fluid within the toy is visible. The toy novelty has a molded shell. A base is provided that is affixed to the molded shell. Together, the molded shell and base define a watertight internal chamber that is visible through the material of the molded shell. The internal chamber is filled with a liquid. Flotsam objects are disposed within the internal chamber that swirl within the liquid when the liquid is disturbed. A plurality of wheels are provided. The wheels enable the toy novelty to roll freely on a smooth surface. As the toy novelty is pushed, rolls and contacts other objects, the liquid within the toy vehicle becomes disturbed. The flotsam objects therefore swirl within the liquid, making the toy vehicle visually interesting to observe.

Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0001]1. Field of the Invention[0002]In general, the present invention relates to toy vehicles and other rolling toy novelties. More particularly, the present invention relates to rolling toy novelties made from transparent plastics that enable the inner workings of the toy to be viewed.[0003]2. Prior Art Description[0004]There are many novelty items, such as snow globes, that are filled with liquid and swirling particles. The casings of such items are commonly made from glass or transparent plastic so that the swirl of particles and liquid fill can be viewed. Although items such as snow globes are intended to be shaken, then are not designed to be rolled, bounced, or otherwise impacted against a hard surface. If an object such as a snow globe is ever rolled or dropped against a hard surface, the shell of the snow globe would likely crack or shatter, thereby releasing the liquid fill and making a mess and a possible hazard.[0005]In addition to liquid fille...
