TECHNIQUE BACKGROUND As it is of public knowledge and mainly of the professionals involved in the toy industry and congener, the consumer market presents an infinity of children vehicles among which it is worthwhile mentioning a model of children vehicle for riding, and activation mounting for a children vehicle, which includes an adapted skeleton to support a child and an activation mounting with a battery activated motor. The children vehicle additionally includes one or more drivable wheels. In some models, the children vehicle is similar to a normal size motorcycle. In some models, the children vehicle includes a free fluctuating wheel that is not requested and that moves up and down within a defined range of positions in relation to the skeleton of the children vehicle when external forces are transmitted to the wheel. In some models, the skeleton of the children vehicle includes a high-speed switch for vehicle's high-speed transitory displacement.

Another model presented by the state of art contemplates a riding children vehicle and the associated translation and rotation. The riding children vehicle includes a body, several wheels mounted in a rotational manner on the body and, at least, one steering wheel including a steering gear mechanism, which includes a steering column and an associated handlebar. The handlebar is embodied to be activated by a conductor sitting on the vehicle seat for, then, making the steering wheel to move, and the vehicle also contemplates an element that responds to the steering extending from the external body surface, the element that responds to the steering is attached to the steering mechanism by means of a articulation set and is embodied to turn in response to the handlebar movement.

Thus, it can be noticed the models of the art do not present any additional attraction to children, except the formal aspects, as well as no inventive act that results in a functional improvement in its use or in its manufacturing. BRIEF OBJECT DESCRIPTION Thus, aiming at providing improvements to the consumer market, after numerous researches, the inventor created and developed this "CONSTRUCTIVE DEVICE INTRODUCED IN CHILDREN VEHICLE", which more particularly refers to a children vehicle notably developed to optimize its manufacturing and mounting and to minimize production costs, thus providing a toy having a final cost accessible to the consuming public, in addition to contemplating numerous safety devices that personalize it compared to the conventional models existing in the consumer market .

An important aspect contemplated in this toy is the utilization of the same model of vehicle skeleton for manual version with pedals of activation and the mechanized model, which proves the manufacturing optimization of the two line models.

The main construction of the constructive device introduced in children vehicle now pled by the applicant is composed of a skeleton made preferably of plastic material or other material of equivalent characteristics, conformed by a laminated double layered structure, which gives the product longer durability, being said that this skeleton presents the external format similar to a convertible automobile and is mounted in two axles of the wheels.

The said skeleton is conformed in a way to internally comprise a step like a seat and further a steering wheel frontally positioned. The floor of the vehicles skeleton is cut, so that the child may reach the inferior traction pedals of the toy and they may move with it.

In this model, the movement of the front wheels is performed through the transmission set comprised of articulated stems linked to the steering wheel, and the traction of said wheels is performed through the movement of the pedal, by the child.
