Air swimming toy with steering device

Abstract

An air swimming toy includes a toy body having a floating body and a tail body, a steering device including a motorized unit for generating a reciprocating power transmitting to the tail body so as to generate a wiggling motion thereof, and a remote controller remotely controlling the steering device to operate the motorized unit, wherein said motorized unit is activated to directly drive the tail body to move in order to steer and propel the toy body. In particular, the reciprocating power is directly transmitted from the motorized unit to the tail body via a gear unit to precisely and smooth drive the tail body moving in a wiggle motion.

Description

BACKGROUND OF THE PRESENT INVENTION[0001]1. Field of Invention[0002]The present invention relates to a remote controlled flying toy, and more particular to an air swimming toy, wherein a steering device of the air swimming toy directly transmits a reciprocating power to the toy body to steer and propel the toy body.[0003]2. Description of Related Arts[0004]A plurality of air-floating toys are known which are capable of self-floating in to the air and propelling in the air via a remote control. In particular, the air-floating toys are driven via a steering mechanism by means of a wiggling motion. However, the conventional air-floating toy is hard to be controlled its direction and elevation. An improved air-floating toy generally comprises a toy body, a driving mechanism and a steering mechanism to control the altitude and the direction of the air-floating toy respectively via a remote controller.[0005]One type of steering mechanism is provided underneath the air-floating toy to cont...

AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

The present invention is an air swimming toy with a steering device that uses a motorized unit to generate the reciprocating power to steer and propel the toy body. The power is transmitted through a gear unit to the tail body of the toy body to create the wiggling motion. The tail body is coupled with a swing shaft to maximize the wiggling angle and move the toy body evenly at two sides. No direct force is applied to the tail body to prevent detachment or malfunction. The steering device is small in size to maintain the toy's appearance. The motorized unit is the only driver to minimize noise during operation.

Problems solved by technology

However, the conventional air-floating toy is hard to be controlled its direction and elevation.

However, such steering mechanism cannot provide a life-like swimming motion for the air-floating toy.

However, the sideward moving force and the spring force are unevenly applied to the tail portion.

As a result, the wiggling motion of the tail portion of the air-floating toy cannot provide a life-like swimming motion for the air-floating toy.

In other words, the alignment of the spring will be off due to the impact such that tail portion of the air-floating toy will not be smoothly moved in such wiggling motion.

Furthermore, the wiggling angle of the tail portion of the air-floating toy is limited by the spring.

If the wiggling angle is minimized to prolong the life span of the spring, the wiggling motion of the tail portion of the air-floating toy may not able to propel the air-floating toy.
