  • Toy system of hexagonal tiles, which may be interlocking or may be joined by magnets or other means, with path patterns on the tiles that can be made into continuous paths on joined tiles; the paths mav have grooves or rails, so a propelled vehicle may follow the paths
    Publication number: 20200206603
    Abstract: This application discloses a new toy track system based on hexagonal tiles. This unique system allows for pleasing and complex track layouts in a small area. The layout activity itself can be viewed as a puzzle or game. The track tiles may be joined to one another by puzzle tabs or by magnets along their edges. The track, whether slot or other construction, follows arcs on the hexagons joining midpoints of the hexagon edges. The tile designs are chosen from the unique set of tile designs having such arcs that cross at most once on a single tile.
