Abstract

A combined toy car launcher and display case having a housing comprising top (12, figure 1), bottom, side (16, 18, figure 1), front 20 and rear (22, figure 2) panels; wherein the front panel can be opened, for example via a hinge 21, and the housing has an interchangeable launcher pad 82 and an interchangeable display stand (40, figure 1), that may also be the same component. The toy vehicle launcher may have an elastic trigger mechanism whereby a trigger 48 located in an elongate aperture 42 in the bottom panel hooks onto an edge of the rear panel and, upon release of the trigger, contraction of an elastic band 58 pulls the trigger and launcher pad 82 towards the front panel for ejection of the toy car from the housing. There may be complementary holes and protrusions 104, 106, 108, 110 on the housing walls that allow stacking of the cases vertically and horizontally (figure 9). The housing, which may be rectangular, may be formed from translucent or transparent plastics.

Detailed Description
Figures 1 to 28 illustrate a toy vehicle combined launcher and display case 10 with an interchangeable launcher pad configured to launch a toy vehicle and interchangeable display stand configured to display a toy vehicle according to a first embodiment of the present invention. Figures 1 to 9, 27 and 28 illustrate the configuration with the interchangeable display stand, Figures 10 to 20, 25 and 26 illustrate the configuration with the interchangeable launcher pad, Figures 21 to 23 illustrate the transformation from the configuration with the interchangeable display stand to the configuration with the interchangeable launcher pad and Figure 24 illustrates the launching of a toy vehicle from the configuration with the interchangeable launcher pad.
The toy vehicle combined launcher and display case 10 has a generally rectangular housing 24 which has a top panel 12, a bottom panel 14, two side panels 16, 18, a front panel 20 and a rear panel 22, the front panel 20 is configured to move between an open position and a closed position to allow access into the body of the housing 24. In the embodiment illustrated the top panel 12, bottom panel 14, two side panels 16, 18, and a rear panel 22 are integrally formed from a transparent plastics material. The front panel 20 is formed separately and is pivotally connected to the rest of the housing 24. In the embodiment illustrated the top panel 12, bottom panel 14, rear panel 22 and front panel 20 are substantially planar, and the two side panels 16, 18 are curved outwardly. The external face of the bottom panel 14 is provided with a side skirt 26, 28 extending perpendicularly therefrom in line with the full length of each of the side panels 16, 18 and a rear skirt 30, 32 extending perpendicularly from two portions of the rear panel 22 such that a central recess 34 is provided in the rear skirt 30, 32 extending in line with the rear panel 22. In the embodiment illustrated the skirts 26, 28, 30, 32 are integrally formed with the panels of the housing 24.
In the embodiment illustrated the front panel 20 is provided with a protrusion 21,23 located on either side thereof which cooperates with an aperture or blind hole 36, 38 located in each of the side skirts 26, 28. In an alternative a hinge, such as a living hinge, may be provided which connects the front panel 20 to the bottom panel 14, in a further alternative no pivot is provided and the front panel 20 can simply be removed from the rest of the housing 24.
The bottom panel 14 is provided with an elongate aperture 42 extending along a portion of the length of the bottom panel 14 which is substantially in the centre of the bottom panel 14 and which is substantially parallel to the two side panels 16, 18. In the embodiment illustrated the elongate aperture 42 extends to the front of the bottom panel 14, however, in an alternative the elongate aperture does not extend all the way to the front of the bottom panel 14.
The external face of the bottom panel is provided with a single lipped protrusion 43 extending perpendicularly therefrom located towards the front of the bottom pane which straddles the elongate aperture 42. In an alternative a pair of lipped protrusions 44, 46 may be provided extending perpendicularly therefrom located towards the front of the bottom panel on either side of the elongate aperture 42 as shown in the bottom portion of Figure 22.
A launcher mechanism is provided, the launcher mechanism has a trigger 48 having a first protrusion 50 configured to extend through the elongate aperture 42 in the bottom panel 14 of the housing 24 and move along the length thereof, a second protrusion 52 extending in the opposite direction to the first protrusion 50. The second protrusion 52 is a lipped protrusion, the end of the second protrusion is provided with a ribbed surface 54. The launcher mechanism is further provided with an elasticated member 58 such as an elastic ring or elastic band, the elasticated member 58 is configured to connect the protrusion 43 or pair of protrusions 44, 46 extending perpendicularly from the bottom panel 14 with the second protrusion 52 extending from the trigger 48 which is seen in Figure 10. The launcher mechanism has a bottom retaining panel 60 configured to retain the trigger 48 within the elongate aperture 42 in the bottom panel 14 of the housing 24. The bottom retaining panel 60 is sized to fit flushly with the end of and substantially within the side skirts 26, 28 and rear skirts 30, 32. In the embodiment illustrated the bottom panel 14 is provided with four hollow protrusions 62, 64, 66, 68 extending downwardly (however there could be more or less than this number of hollow protrusions) and the bottom retaining panel 60 is provided with four protrusions 70, 72, 74, 76 extending upwardly (again there could be more or less than this number of protrusions, however, the same number of protrusions should ideally be provided as hollow protrusions) such that the four protrusions of the bottom retaining panel 70, 72, 74, 76 are configured to co-operate with the four hollow protrusions 62, 64, 66, 68 of the bottom panel 14 to retain the bottom retaining panel 60 in position.
Alternatively the bottom panel is provided with one or more protrusions extending downwardly and the bottom retaining panel is provided with one or more hollow protrusions extending upwardly wherein the one or more hollow protrusions of the bottom retaining panel are configure to co-operated with the one of more protrusions of the bottom panel to retain the bottom retaining panel in position.
The rear end of the bottom retaining panel 60 is provided with a resilient protrusion 78.
The trigger 48 is further provided with a wedge 80 extending from in the same direction as the first protrusion 50 with the thinner end of the wedge 80 being located towards the rear of the trigger 48.
When trigger 48 is moved to the rear end of the elongate aperture 42 the wedge 80 is configured to cooperate (hook over) with the edge of the rear panel 22 of the housing 24 and be retained in cooperation with the edge of the rear panel 24 by the resilient protrusion 78 extending from the bottom retaining panel 60 which stores a force in the elastic member. When a force is applied downwardly onto the wedge 80 the resilient protrusion 78 deforms allowing the wedge 80 to de-cooperate (un-hook) with the edge of the rear panel 22, and the elastic member 58 to move the trigger 48 to the front end of the elongate aperture 42, releasing the force stored in the elastic member.
