  • Publication number: 20070057080
    Abstract: A toy object and slot track system includes a plurality of track segments each having a retaining slot provided thereon and defining a slotted track surface. The track segments include straight, curved and twisted track segments connectable to form straight and curved tracks with slotted track surfaces facing upwards and/or downwards and twisted tracks, and concave/convex track segments connectable to form loop-shaped tracks with concave/convex slotted track surfaces facing inwards and/or outwards. The system includes at least one toy object having first and second protruding pins for slidable engagement along the retaining slot. At least one of the first and second protruding pins has a free end portion retainable within the retaining slot such that the toy object can move along the tracks without falling off under gravitational pulling force.

  • Patent number: 6173654
    Abstract: 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.
