Searching Google Patents is fun. There's loads of old toys on there!
Case in point is the SpaceX/ Golden Astronaut series and here's one: MEV2 or Lunar Explorer.
Seeing this simple line drawing format it reminds me again of the James Bond Lunar Buggy sketches we have posted before on the blog!
I tried to find the 'other references' shown bottom right on the patent sheet online but couldn't locate them. They may have not been digitized anyway.
To see all the other SpaceX/ Golden Astronaut US patents [public domain] and the UK patents [not public domain] check out Paul V's amazing Triang SpaceX Toys website. The link is in this blog's right side-bar.
Which toys would you search Google Patents for?
