Abstract (en)

Toy vehicles are known which have a steering system such that, when they are driven in one direction (usually forwardly) they travel in a generally straight line, and when they are driven in the opposite direction they turn. The application provides a way of achieving this, by providing on the vehicle an assembly (8) comprising two wheels (11, 12) supported by an axle (9) which is freely rotatable about a pivot axis perpendicular to the axle and spaced from the centre thereof, the axle being rotatable about said axis between a rear stop (14) and a forward stop (13). Articulated toy vehicles comprising a tractor (1) and trailer (2) have a drive means (4) installed in the trailer and stop means (16, 17) to prevent jack-knifing. Such articulated vehicles may be provided with a steering assembly (8).
