Toy flight simulator and display stand

Claim 2

A toy flight simulator for a toy vehicle comprising: a support stand; controlling means connected to said support stand for controlling a toy vehicle, and transmitting means connected to said support stand and to said controlling means for transmitting motion from said controlling means to said toy vehicle, for causing said vehicle to pitch and bank, said transmitting means including less than six links.

Claim 3

An apparatus as claimed in claim 1, wherein said toy vehicle is connected to one of said links, said one link having four integral hinges, two of said hinges being mutually parallel and the other two hinges being perpendicular to said first mentioned two hinges.

Claim 4

A toy flight simulator as claimed in claim 1 wherein said links comprise: a pivotable mounting link connected to said support stand for allowing rotation about two mutually perpendicular axes; a first articulate link mounted to said pivotable mounting link and connected to said controlling means, said first link having three integral hinges; two motion transmitters connected to said first link; and a sEcond articulate link having four integral hinges, a portion for connecting to said toy vehicle and a portion for pivotably connecting to said support stand whereby said toy vehicle can be moved and controlled by said controlling means.

Claim 5

A toy flight simulator as claimed in claim 3, wherein: two of said hinges of said first articulate link and two of said hinges of said second articulate link move when pivoted toy vehicle is povoted about a first axis; and the third hinge of said first articulate link and the two other hinges of said other articulate link move when said toy flight vehicle is pivoted about a second axis, said second axis being perpendicularly disposed relative said first axis.

Claim 6

A toy flight simulator as claimed in claim 4 wherein: said first articulate link includes a portion for mounting to said pivotable mounting link and another portion having a hinged tab which tab includes the other two hinges of said first link whereby said tab is divided into three regions by said other two hinges; said second articulate link portion for connecting to said toy vehicle is positioned between two mutually parallel hinges, said portion for pivotally connecting to said support stand is positioned opposite one of the hinges, a tab being positioned opposite the other of said hinges, said tab including the other two hinges which are mutually parallel to each other and perpendicular to said first mentioned parallel hinges, said other two hinges dividing said tab into three regions; and one motion transmitter is connected at one end to a first region of said first link tab and at the other end to a first region of said second link tab, and the other motion transmitter is connected at one end to a third region of said first link tab and at the other end to a third region of said second link tab.

Claim 7

A toy flight simulator for a toy vehicle comprising: a support stand; a control means for directing the attitude of the toy vehicle; and a linkage for transmitting movement of the control means and for moving the toy vehicle in response thereto, said linkage consisting of five links, two of said links having a plurality of integral hinges, the other three of said links being relatively rigid.

Claim 8

A toy flight simulator for a toy vehicle comprising: a support stand; a control means for directing the attitude of the toy vehicle; and a linkage for transmitting movement of the control means and for moving the toy vehicle in response thereto, said linkage consisting of five links, two of said links having a plurality of integral hinges, the other three of said links being relatively rigid.

Claim 9

A toy flight simulator as claimed in claim 6 wherein one of the links of said linkage transmitts motion from said control means about each of two mutually perpendicular axes.

Claim 10

A toy flight simulator as claimed in claim 6 wherein said linkage includes two relatively rigid links communicating the motion between tow other links each of said two other links having a plurality of integral hinges.

Claim 11

A toy flight simulator as claimed in claim 8 wherein one of said other links having integral hinges transmitts motion about two mutually perpendicular axes.

Claim 12

A toy flight simulator as claimed in claim 9 wherein said one link includes four integral hinges.

Claim 13

A toy flight simulator as claimed in claim 10 wherein said four integral hinges are divided into tow sets of parallel hinges, each set mutually perpendicular to the other set.
