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 1):
A toy vehicle launcher comprising:\n a launcher base including a guide track in the launcher base; a housing attached to the launcher base, the housing including a fulcrum distal to the launcher base; a lever attached to the housing at the fulcrum, the lever including a loading arm extending from the fulcrum substantially parallel to the launcher base and an effort arm extending from the fulcrum towards the guide track, the lever pivotable about the fulcrum from a loading position to a launching position; and a toy vehicle engagement element engaged with the guide track through a guide track engagement element, the guide track defining a linear path of movement for the toy vehicle engagement element, the toy vehicle engagement element including:\n a lever engagement channel that engages a distal end of the effort arm, and \n a toy vehicle engagement surface angled towards a launching end of the guide track from being substantially perpendicular to the launcher base, the toy vehicle engagement surface including a lower engagement surface proximate the launcher base and an upper engagement surface distal the launcher base, the upper engagement surface angled more towards the launching end than the lower engagement surface.
