Air swimming toy with driving device

Abstract

An air swimming toy includes a toy body, a driving device including an air propeller supported at a bottom side of the toy body for creating an air dynamic underneath the toy body, and a remote controller remotely controlling the driving device to operate the air propeller, wherein the air propeller is activated to rotate in order to control an altitude of the toy body via the air dynamic. In particular, when a controllable air pressure underneath the toy body is lesser than a surrounding air pressure, the toy body is elevated in the air, and when the controllable air pressure is higher than the surrounding air pressure, the toy body is dropped down in the air.

Description

BACKGROUND OF THE PRESENT INVENTION[0001]1. Field of Invention[0002]The present invention relates to a remote controlled flying toy, and more particular to an air swimming toy, wherein a driving device of the air swimming toy is arranged for creating an air pressure difference underneath the toy body to control the altitude of the air swimming toy.[0003]2. Description of Related Arts[0004]A plurality of air-floating toys are known which are capable of self-floating in the air and propelling in the air via a remote control. In particular, the air-floating toys are driven by means of a wiggling motion. However, the conventional air-floating toy is hard to be controlled its direction and elevation. An improved air-floating toy generally comprises a toy body, a driving mechanism and a steering mechanism to control the altitude and the direction of the air-floating toy respectively via a remote controller.[0005]The driving mechanism is affixed underneath the toy body to control the altit...

AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

The invention is an air swimming toy that has the advantage of being controlled by an air pressure difference created underneath the toy body. This difference is created by a driving device that uses an air propeller to push air under the toy body. The driving device is fixed at the bottom side of the toy body to prevent accidental detachment. Additionally, the driving device is small in size to keep the toy's appearance attractive. The only part of the toy that is driven is the air propeller, which minimizes noise during operation.

Problems solved by technology

However, the conventional air-floating toy is hard to be controlled its direction and elevation.

However, the driving mechanism has several drawbacks.

However, the track member cannot be secured to the bottom side of the toy body.

In addition, the weight of weight member keeps shifting between the front and rear ends of the track member, such that the sliding movement and the weight shifting force will cause the track member detaching from the toy body.

In worst case, if one of the front and rear ends of the track member is detached from the bottom side of the toy body, the weight member will not able to slide at the track member to control the altitude of the air-floating toy.

However, the actuation of the gear wheel requires relatively higher electrical power such that the weight member will run out of battery rapidly.

An unavoidable noise will be generated during the actuation of the gear wheel.

The driving mechanism requires relatively larger installation space at the bottom side of the toy body.

In other words, the size of the driving mechanism cannot be minimized and the driving mechanism will destroy the aesthetic appearance of the toy body especially when the toy body floats in the air.
