Abstract:
A toy vehicle launcher translates a substantially vertical activation movement into a substantially lateral movement that launches a toy vehicle. The end of a lever arm used in the activation engages a vertical channel in a toy vehicle engagement mechanism. The vertical channel allows the end of the lever arm to move vertically within the channel with respect to the toy vehicle engagement mechanism as the lever arm rotates and the toy vehicle engagement mechanism moves laterally. The toy vehicle engagement mechanism engages a guide track in a base of the launcher. The guide track defines a lateral path that the toy vehicle engagement mechanism travels when moving between a loading configuration and a launching configuration. Thus, vertical movement from the activation is reduced in the transfer to the lateral toy vehicle launch.

Claim (Index 14):
A toy vehicle launcher comprising:\n a launcher base including a first launcher guidance track in the launcher base and a second launcher guidance track in the launcher base; a housing attached to the launcher base, the housing including a pivot point element distal to the launcher base; a lever mechanism attached to the housing at the pivot point element, the lever mechanism including an activation arm extending from the pivot point element and a launching arm extending from the pivot point element towards the launcher guidance tracks, the lever mechanism pivotable about the pivot point element from a stationary position to an activated position; a first contact block engaged with the first launcher guidance track, the first launcher guidance track defining a linear path of movement for the first contact block, the first contact block including a first lever engagement channel that engages a distal end of the launching arm, and a first contact surface proximal to a launching end of the first launcher guidance track; and a second contact block engaged with the second launcher guidance track, the second launcher guidance track defining a linear path of movement for the second contact block, the second contact block including a second lever engagement channel that engages a distal end of the launching arm, and a second contact surface proximal to a launching end of the second launcher guidance track.
