A steerable electric toy car includes a steering mechanism including a weight body with an electrically conductive activating finger and a weight at two ends thereof, suspended on a grip member. Two pairs of contacts are fixed on the grip member in a position that the activating finger does not abut them when the grip member is held upright, but that the activating finger does abut them when the grip member is rotated and the weight maintains the original position of the weight body relative to the ground. The toy car further includes a gearing for turning the wheels of the car which has a frictional arrangement for preventing damage to the powering motor when the wheels can be turned no further.

A steerable electric toy car comprising: a toy body, including a frame, a rear shaft rotatably mounted transversely on an underside of a rear portion of said frame; a pair of first wheels fixedly mounted at opposite ends of said rear shaft, adapted to be driven by a rear motor forwards and backwards

A steerable electric toy car comprising: a toy body, including a frame, a rear shaft rotatably mounted transversely on an underside of a rear portion of said frame; a pair of first wheels fixedly mounted at opposite ends of said rear shaft, adapted to be driven by a rear motor forwards and backwards, a front shaft, rotatably mounted transversely on the underside of a front portion of said frame; a pair of second wheels fixedly mounted respectively at opposite ends of said front shaft; and means for controlling said front shaft to move with respect to a longitudinal axis of said frame, including a jointed control plate attached to said front shaft; a control rod engaged with and extending vertically with respect to said jointed plate; a gear mechanism including an output end coupled to said control rod, and a front motor having an output shaft coupled with an input end of said gear mechanism so that rotation from said output shaft can be transmitted to drive said control rod; and a steering mechanism, including a grip member, adapted to be controlled by a player; contact means disposed on said grip member and electrically connected to said front motor of said toy body; and a weight body, pivotedly suspended by one end thereof on said grip member, with a weight disposed at another end of said weight body, and an activating finger disposed on said weight body near the pivoted end of the weight body in such a position that when said grip member is rotated, and said weight causes said weight body by gravity to remain vertically oriented to the ground, thereby the change of relative position of said weight body to said grip members will cause said activating finger to contact said contact means to close a circuit for driving said front motor.
