Air swimming toy with steering device

Abstract

An air swimming toy includes a toy body having a floating body and a tail body, a steering device including a motorized unit for generating a reciprocating power transmitting to the tail body so as to generate a wiggling motion thereof, and a remote controller remotely controlling the steering device to operate the motorized unit, wherein said motorized unit is activated to directly drive the tail body to move in order to steer and propel the toy body. In particular, the reciprocating power is directly transmitted from the motorized unit to the tail body via a gear unit to precisely and smooth drive the tail body moving in a wiggle motion.

         3 . The air swimming toy, as recited in  claim 1 , wherein said steering device further comprises a gear unit operatively coupled to said motorized unit for directly transmitting said reciprocating power to said tail body. 
     
     
         4 . The air swimming toy, as recited in  claim 2 , wherein said steering device further comprises a gear unit operatively coupled to said motorized unit for directly transmitting said reciprocating power to said tail body. 
     
     
         5 . The air swimming toy, as recited in  claim 1 , wherein said steering device further comprises a base frame affixed to said floating body to support said motorized unit thereat and a wiggling frame which is coupled to said tail body and is operatively driven by said motorized unit to drive said tail body moving in a wiggling motion. 
     
     
         6 . The air swimming toy, as recited in  claim 2 , wherein said steering device further comprises a base frame affixed to said floating body to support said motorized unit thereat and a wiggling frame which is coupled to said tail body and is operatively driven by said motorized unit to drive said tail body moving in a wiggling motion. 
     
     
         7 . The air swimming toy, as recited in  claim 4 , wherein said steering device further comprises a base frame affixed to said floating body to support said motorized unit thereat and a wiggling frame which is coupled to said tail body and is operatively driven by said motorized unit to drive said tail body moving in a wiggling motion. 
     
     
         8 . The air swimming toy, as recited in  claim 5 , wherein said steering device further comprises a gear housing supported at a center of said base frame to receive said gear unit in said gear housing, wherein said wiggling frame is movably coupled with said gear unit to move in a wiggling motion. 
     
     
         9 . The air swimming toy, as recited in  claim 6 , wherein said steering device further comprises a gear housing supported at a center of said base frame to receive said gear unit in said gear housing, wherein said wiggling frame is movably coupled with said gear unit to move in a wiggling motion. 
     
     
         10 . The air swimming toy, as recited in  claim 7 , wherein said steering device further comprises a gear housing supported at a center of said base frame to receive said gear unit in said gear housing, wherein said wiggling frame is movably coupled with said gear unit to move in a wiggling motion. 
     
     
         11 . The air swimming toy, as recited in  claim 8 , wherein said steering device further comprises a swing shaft extended through said gear housing to operatively couple with said gear unit, wherein said wiggling frame is coupled at said swing shaft, such that when said swing shaft is driven to rotate in a reciprocating manner, said wiggling frame is moved in a wiggling motion. 
     
     
         12 . The air swimming toy, as recited in  claim 9 , wherein said steering device further comprises a swing shaft extended through said gear housing to operatively couple with said gear unit, wherein said wiggling frame is coupled at said swing shaft, such that when said swing shaft is driven to rotate in a reciprocating manner, said wiggling frame is moved in a wiggling motion. 
     
     
         13 . The air swimming toy, as recited in  claim 10 , wherein said steering device further comprises a swing shaft extended through said gear housing to operatively couple with said gear unit, wherein said wiggling frame is coupled at said swing shaft, such that when said swing shaft is driven to rotate in a reciprocating manner, said wiggling frame is moved in a wiggling motion. 
     
     
         14 . The air swimming toy, as recited in  claim 11 , wherein said wiggling frame comprises a U-shaped retention member having two coupling ends coupled at two end portions of said swing shaft respectively, wherein said gear housing is positioned between said two coupling ends of said retention member. 
     
     
         15 . The air swimming toy, as recited in  claim 13 , wherein said wiggling frame comprises a U-shaped retention member having two coupling ends coupled at two end portions of said swing shaft respectively, wherein said gear housing is positioned between said two coupling ends of said retention member. 
     
     
         16 . The air swimming toy, as recited in  claim 7 , wherein said steering device further comprises a motor housing supported at said base frame to receive said motorized unit at said motor housing. 
     
     
         17 . The air swimming toy, as recited in  claim 15 , wherein said steering device further comprises a motor housing supported at said base frame to receive said motorized unit at said motor housing.
