Abstract:
A toy push type vehicle with front and rear doors, each door being individually operated either by a handle thereon or by a push down projection on the bus roof whereby objects, such as figures of humans with an annular groove in the base region thereof, are forced into the vehicle upon movement thereof by means of the open front door and vehicle forward movement. The object moves along a slot disposed between the rear and front doors and within the vehicle which is of slightly greater width than the width of the groove in the object base region. The object has sufficient length beneath the groove to be in contact with the floor upon which the vehicle is being pushed. In this manner, the object slides along the slot within the vehicle toward the rear door due to friction between the object and the floor. Because the slot extends from the front door to the rear door, the object will move toward the rear door and be stopped at either the rear door or by another figure between the object and the rear door. Upon further movement of the vehicle forward and opening of the rear door, the object will move out of the rear door due to the friction between the floor and the object whereupon the object will exit the vehicle.
