Abstract
A direction-converting device for a toy car is disclosed, in which the toy car is provided with an electromagnet having an exciting iron core with its opposite sides being energizable to different polarities and a magnet having opposite end faces with different polarities, in which one core portion of the electromagnet at its free end has a width equal to or larger than a width of the opposed end of the magnet, and in which the electromagnet or the magnet is fixed to one end of a controlling element which in turn is arranged at a middle portion of a steering element. The one core portion of the electromagnet may be divided into two portions, between which is arranged another magnet. Thus, the device ensures a neutral position of the steering element reliably in the deenergized state of the electromagnet.
