摘要:
A playset for use with a toy vehicle including an elongate track defining at least one travel path. In some examples, the playset includes a switching mechanism for switching a toy vehicle between different travel paths. In some examples, the playset includes an obstacle mechanism for selectively deploying an obstacle in at least one travel path. In some examples, the playset includes indicator mechanisms, including an active indicator mechanism and a passive indicator mechanism.

A toy vehicle play set may include a toy vehicle and a track assembly including a track along which the vehicle may travel. In some examples the vehicle may include a drive mechanism that is adjustable for changing the speed of the vehicle, and a play set may include a speed changer for selectively changing the vehicle speed. In some examples, the track assembly may include a selectively actuated trapdoor in the track. In some examples, the play set may include a vehicle trap assembly having a cover defining a chamber for receiving, for example, a vehicle passing through the trapdoor opening. In some examples, the vehicle trap may include an assembly, such as the vehicle trap that falls apart when contacted by a vehicle traveling along the track.

The invention relates to a method for operating a digital control system for track-guided toy vehicles (10), with at least two tracks (24, 26), wherein at least one set of points (34) is provided. Accordingly in each case a switching command given for a particular toy vehicle is transmitted for switching a set of points, which this toy vehicle will next cross, into the switched state in the digital control system together with a digital address of the toy vehicle to which the switching command applies; at least the toy vehicle for which a switching command is transmitted broadcasts an identifier representing the digital address of this toy vehicle in the digital control system, wherein each set of points receives a broadcast identifier from the toy vehicle that is approaching these points and compares it with the digital address of one or more transmitted switching commands and switches the points into the switched state if the digital address in the identifier of the toy vehicle received is identical to a digital address for which a switching command is transmitted in the digital control system.

A spiral stunt device includes a supporting frame having an upper cross member which in turn defines a helical thread. A traveler engages the helical thread of the upper support and further supports a pendulum segment. The pendulum segment extends downwardly and terminates in a toy vehicle receiver or “caddy”. A first track segment is directed toward one side of the spiral stunt device which a second track segment is directed toward an offset portion of the stunt device. As a toy vehicle enters the stunt device with substantial energy, it is captivated by the toy vehicle receiver. As the energy of the captivated toy vehicle is transferred to the receiver and its pendulum support, the receiver together with the toy vehicle and the pendulum support are caused to rotate about the horizontal member advancing the traveler on the helical threads. The resulting lateral movement of the traveler upon the helical thread aligns the toy vehicle receiver with the offset track segment. Thereafter, the toy vehicle departs the receiver and travels down the offset track segment.

A toy racing car track system includes track sections with electrical power supply rails and connected end-to-end to form at least one lane for an electric toy car. The lane includes a gap having front and rear ends and a carriage supported for movement across the gap to convey the car across the gap under the momentum of the car and subsequently returning upon the car leaving the carriage. A retainer on the carriage retains the car in transit. A resetter resets the retainer. The gap is inclined at a small angle upwards in order for the carriage to return to by gravitational force.

A remotely controlled vehicle that mechanically activates an action accessory. The vehicle contains a remotely controlled plunger that engages a trigger of the action accessory. Engaging the trigger activates a mechanism within the action accessory. Activation of the mechanism induces a mechanical action such as ejecting a projectile or loading items onto the vehicle. The plunger and vehicle are remotely controlled by a transmitter which emits command signals to a receiver located within the vehicle. In operation, the end user skillfully manipulates the vehicle over the trigger and then transmits a command to extend the plunger and activate the mechanism of the action accessory.

A trackway toy featuring a powered vehicle for movement along sections of track and action stations which may be in the form of an elevator and a crane in the vicinity of the trackway and provided with a movable structure for attracting the attention of the child, and a mechanism for stopping the vehicle at the action station and for using the power of the vehicle to activate movement of the movable structure of the action station.

An improved reciprocating dock for coupling and uncoupling a toy semitrailer and a toy tractor. The dock includes a reciprocable slide and a rotary cam arrangement. During an uncoupling operation, the slide is contacted and displaced by the semitrailer from a fully extended position to a retracted position. During this movement of the slide, the semitrailer travels over a roadway ramp which lifts the semitrailer, uncoupling the semitrailer from the tractor. A spring returns the slide from the fully retracted position to a partially extended position, and the rotary cam arrangement arrests the slide at the partially extended position. During movement of the slide to the partially extended position, the slide moves the semitrailer to a prescribed position such that the semitrailer remains elevated with respect to the tractor and poised for a re-coupling operation. To re-couple the semitrailer and tractor, the semitrailer displaces the slide from the partially extended position to the fully retracted position, and the spring then returns the slide from the fully retracted position, past the partially extended position, to the fully extended position. During this movement of the slide, the semitrailer moves past the ramp which causes the semitrailer to descend and reengage the tractor.
