Abstract: A toy vehicle includes at least a chassis, a front wheel base, and a suspension system. The suspension system adjustably secures the front wheel base to the chassis in a manner that provides two operational modes. In a first mode of the two operational modes, the front wheel base is freely, resiliently supported below the chassis. In a second mode of the two operational modes, the front wheel base is selectively posable by a user over a range of orientations for different types of vehicle mobility. The suspension system retains poses when the toy vehicle is operating in the second mode.

Abstract: A toy vehicle with an adjustable chassis is disclosed. The toy vehicle comprises a chassis having a left frame rail and a right frame rail. Each of the left and right frame rails is moveable between a first position and a second position. One or more wheels are attached to each of the left and right frame rails and a vehicle body is mounted onto the chassis. Moving the left and right frame rails to their first positions results in the left and right frame rails moving toward each other and toward the vehicle body. Moving the left and right frame rails to their second positions results in the left and right frame rails moving away from each other and away from the vehicle body.

Abstract: A toy vehicle playset includes a track portion, a repositionable lever, an actuator, and a repositionable engagement member. The repositionable lever is disposed adjacent to the track portion, where the repositionable lever is repositionable between a first position and a second position. The actuator and the engagement member are disposed on the track portion, with the engagement member being disposed proximate to the actuator. The engagement member is operatively coupled to the repositionable lever and the actuator. When the repositionable lever is in the first position, the engagement member remains unengaged with a toy vehicle as the toy vehicle travels over the track portion and engages the actuator. However, when the repositionable lever is in the second position, engagement of the actuator by the toy vehicle traveling over the track portion causes the engagement member to engage and flip the toy vehicle.

Abstract: A toy racetrack having an obstacle that is moved into and out of the path of a toy vehicle travelling along the racetrack is provided. The racetrack includes a closed loop track and may include a booster mechanism for propelling a toy vehicle along the track. The obstacle may be formed by a movable web or net with an opening that can be used to catch a toy vehicle traveling along the track. A support tower is located adjacent the track, and an obstacle carrier, optionally including an action figure, is movably mounted to the support tower. The figure holds the net, and the figure and net are movable between a raised position and a lowered position. When the net is in its lowered position, a toy vehicle traveling along the track is captured by the net when the net is manually positioned in a capture position.

Abstract: A toy vehicle raceway and rolling cart may include a plurality of multilane track segments, each of which may have a corresponding pivotably mounted support bracket.

Abstract: Disclosed herein is a relay for a toy track set, the relay having: a first actuator; a second actuator; an object movably secured to the relay for movement from a first elevated position to a second lower position; a first trigger moveably secured to the first actuator for movement between a first position and a second position wherein movement of the trigger from the first position towards the second position causes the actuator to release the object from the first elevated position such that the object travels towards the second lower position; and a second trigger coupled the second actuator wherein movement of the second trigger launches an object from the second actuator, wherein the second trigger is moved when the object is at the second lower position.

Abstract: A relay for a toy is disclosed herein, the relay having: a first relay segment having an upper portion rotatably secured to a lower portion for movement between a first position and a second position with respect to the lower portion; a trigger coupled to the first relay segment, the trigger being configured for movement from a first position to a second position; a mechanism for retaining the upper portion in the second position after it has been rotated to the second position from the first position, the upper portion being spring biased towards the first position, wherein the mechanism releases the upper portion to allow for rotation movement of the upper portion to the first position from the second position, when the trigger is moved from the first position to the second position; a projectile launcher for launching a projectile into air after the release mechanism releases the upper portion and the upper portion is rotated to the first position from the second position; and a second relay segment, the s

Abstract: A toy vehicle racetrack is provided with one or more obstacle pairs. The obstacle pairs may be arranged in a geometrical progression and each obstacle pair may determine the relative positions of two toy vehicles and impede the travel of the trailing vehicle. Impeding the travel of the trailing vehicle may be accomplished by ejecting the trailing toy vehicle from the track.

Abstract: A relay segment for a toy track set is provided, the relay segment having a trigger moveably secured to the relay segment proximate to a first vehicle track segment pivotally mounted to the relay segment for adjustable movement with respect to the relay segment, the trigger being capable of movement between a first position and a second position; and a launching element for launching a vehicle from the relay segment when the trigger is moved from the first position to the second position.

Abstract: A toy vehicle having front and rear road wheels is provided with a mechanism to elevate the toy vehicle from an initial orientation supported on all of the road wheels into a wheelie orientation supported on the rear road wheels and to return the vehicle to the initial orientation supported on all of the road wheels. The mechanism includes: a crank; a spring loaded wheelie bar; and a slide plate driven by the crank so as to release the wheelie bar beneath the vehicle to elevate the vehicle from the initial orientation into the wheelie orientation and to thereafter extend a tongue member from a rear end of the vehicle to return the vehicle back to the initial orientation.

Abstract: A toy comprises a housing connected with a launcher to rotate and launch an object. The launcher comprises a driving element to form a drive connection with a receiving element on the object. The launcher is connected with a launcher rotating system, which imparts a rotary movement to the launcher. When the launcher ceases to accelerate the object, the receiving element disengages from the drive connection and launches the object. An interactive device is attached with the housing to increase stimulation and enjoyment. The interactive device operates in conjunction with spinning and launching the object from the toy such that it provides an output in response to a user imparting a rotary motion to the object. Non-limiting examples of such interactive devices include an electronic game, gauges, and a sound-producing mechanism.
