Claims
1. A toy vehicle (10) having a front end (22) and a rear end (24) and first and second lateral sides (26, 28) comprising: a housing (15) including a vehicle body (120) having a generally arcuate shaped lateral side profile; a plurality of road wheels (52, 54, 56, 58) supporting the housing for movement across a support surface (S) and including at least one rear road wheel (54, 58) rotatably mounted proximate the rear end so as to at least partially support the rear end and at least one front road wheel (52, 56) rotatably mounted proximate the front end so as to at least partially support the front end; at least a first motor (34) drivingly coupled with at least one of the front and rear road wheels; and a lift mechanism (60) including a lift arm (62) having first and second ends (68, 70) and a generally arcuate shaped lateral side profile, the second end of the lift arm being free and the first end of the lift arm being pivotally mounted with respect to the housing so as to permit the lift arm to move between a retracted position (62a) generally against the housing so as to enable the toy vehicle to be supported on the support surface by the plurality of road wheels and an extended position (62b) generally away from the housing so as to contact the support surface and raise the plurality of road wheels from the surface, the toy vehicle having an arcuate lateral side profile collectively defined by the arcuate side profiles of the vehicle body and the lift arm in the extended position sufficiently rounded to permit the vehicle to roll end over end over end.
2. A toy vehicle as in claim 1 , further comprising: a wing (150) mounted on the housing so as to move into a deployed position
(150a) extending outwardly from the arcuate lateral side profile of the vehicle body when the lift arm is in the retracted position and to move into a retracted position essentially within the arcuate lateral side profile of the vehicle body when the lift arm is in the extended position.
3. A toy vehicle as in claim 1 , wherein the lift mechanism further comprises: a lift arm actuating motor (38); a lift arm drive screw (80) operably coupled with the actuating motor; and surface (S) by the road wheels and an extended position (62b) contacting the surface supporting the vehicle and raising the road wheels from the surface, the vehicle having an arcuate lateral side profile collectively defined by the arcuate side profiles of the vehicle body and the lift aπn in the extended position sufficiently rounded to permit the vehicle to roll end over end over end. 22. A toy vehicle (10) comprising: a vehicle chassis (20) having a front end (22) and a rear end (24) and first and second lateral sides (26, 28); a plurality of road wheels (52, 54, 56, 58) including at least one road wheel rotatably coupled with the chassis proximate the rear end and located on the vehicle so as to at least partially support the rear end and at least one road wheel rotatably coupled with the chassis proximate the front end and located on the vehicle so as to at least partially support the front end; a lift mechanism (60) attached to the chassis including: a lift arm (62) having first and second ends (68, 70), the lift arm being pivotally connected to the chassis proximate the second end to move between a retracted position (62a) enabling the vehicle to be supported on a surface (S) by the plurality of road wheels and an extended position (62b) in contact with the surface supporting the vehicle, and raising the plurality of road wheels from the surface; a lift arm actuating motor (38); a lift arm drive screw (80) operatively coupled with the lift arm actuating motor; a lift arm drive nut (88) in threaded engagement with the lift arm drive screw; and a strut (100) operably coupled between the drive nut and the lift arm at a point intermediate the lift arm first end and the lift arm second end.
