Description
- The present subject matter relates generally to a remote controlled toy vehicle and more particularly to a motor driven remote controlled toy vehicle incorporating a plush outer body.
- All publications herein are incorporated by reference to the same extent as if each individual publication or patent application was specifically and individually indicated to be incorporated by reference. The following description includes information that may be useful in understanding the present subject matter. It is not an admission that any of the information provided herein is prior art or relevant to the presently claimed subject matter, or that any publication specifically or implicitly referenced is prior art.
- Remote controlled motor driven toy vehicles have always been very popular amongst children. Such toys provide entertaining and exciting play for a child in the form of having the child steer the vehicle through obstacles, traverse steep grades, and drive through rough terrain. In addition, the manipulation of a remote controlled vehicle utilizing a transmitter device develops the hand-eye coordination of a child, which is a favorable sensory development tool for younger children. However, due to the cost of the production of radio controlled toy vehicles and the dangers associated with sharp, plastic and/or metal elements utilized in the construction and design of the toy vehicles, existing radio controlled toy vehicles have been limited to children above an appropriate age. In fact, by its nature and necessity of durability, existing radio controlled toy vehicles have been constructed of hard plastics and/or metals, rendering the current art inappropriate for younger children.
- However, as technology has advanced and the underlying cost of electronics and elements for construction of toy vehicles has diminished, the advent of creating remote control toy vehicles for younger children has become more appropriate and economically desirable. Still, issues regarding the use of hard plastics and or metals in the construction of these remote control toy vehicles remains a bar for use by young children.
- The present subject matter discloses a remote controlled toy vehicle incorporating the use of soft plush materials for the outer body of toy vehicles and design specifications limiting and/or eliminating elements which may be hazardous to young children. Accordingly, safety concerns once restricting remote controlled toy vehicles for play with younger children, have herein been eclipsed by the present subject matter.
- Combined with the reduction in production costs for remote controlled toy vehicles, the novel use of plush materials to reduce or eliminate safety hazards inherent in the prior art, makes the present subject matter a much welcomed and novel concept in the field of remote controlled toy vehicles.
- Exemplary embodiments are illustrated in referenced figures. It is intended that the embodiments and figures disclosed herein are to be considered illustrative rather than restrictive.
