Abstract

A riding toy vehicle for picking up objects from a playing surface such as the floor, comprises a vehicle body having a seat, an open mouth adjacent the forward end and a bottom wall rearward of the mouth for holding the objects as they are picked up. A pair of front and rear wheels are provided for supporting the body for movement over the playing surface and a pair of pick up members are mounted for rotation in the mouth and are driven independently by the front wheels for engaging the objects on the playing surface and moving them upwardly onto the bottom wall of the body through the open mouth. A deflectable tongue is provided to extend downwardly towards the bottom wall for retaining the objects that are picked up once they are positioned on the bottom wall in the vehicle body.
