Patent number: 8342903Abstract: Intersection apparatus for use with tracks for toy vehicles define a first toy vehicle pathway from a ramp portion and across the gap to a corresponding receiving portion, and a second toy vehicle pathway that crosses the first. The ramp portion is translatable in a direction transverse to the pathways between a bypass position in which the trajectory of a toy vehicle traversing the first pathway passes and does not intersect that of a toy vehicle traversing the second, and an intersect position in which the trajectories intersect. The ramp portion may further be translatable to a second bypass position defining a trajectory passing on the opposite side of the second vehicle's trajectory relative to the trajectory defined when the ramp portion is in the first bypass position. When the ramp is in the intersect position, toy vehicles traversing the pathways at substantially the same time will collide.Type: GrantFiled: April 26, 2010Date of Patent: January 1, 2013Assignee: Mattel, Inc.Inventors: Stacy O'Connor, Michael Nuttall, Paul W.
