Patent number: 9808729Abstract: Elevator-type systems for a toy vehicle and toy vehicle track sets are disclosed. The elevator-type system may include a carriage configured to receive a toy vehicle, the carriage is configured to move between a first position and a second position. The elevator-type system may additionally include a tension rope having a first end and a second end, the first end is attached to the carriage. The elevator-type system may further include a counterweight attached to the second end. The weight of the counterweight may be greater than the weight of the carriage to bias the carriage toward the first position. The weight of the counterweight may be less than the weight of both the carriage and a toy vehicle received in the carriage to allow the carriage to move toward the second position when the toy vehicle is received in the carriage.Type: GrantFiled: May 20, 2016Date of Patent: November 7, 2017Assignee: Mattel, Inc.Inventors: Robert William Matthes, Stacy Lynn O'Connor, Sang Joon Kwak

Patent number: 9421473Abstract: A toy vehicle track set is provided including a first track portion and a second track portion. The second track portion is distal from the first track portion. The first track portion and the second track portion define a gap therebetween. The toy vehicle track set also includes a pair of separately rotating arms. The rotating arms cooperate to transfer a toy vehicle across the gap from the first track portion to the second track portion. When the toy vehicle is released at the second track portion, the toy vehicle may traverse along a path of the track set from the second track portion to the first track portion.Type: GrantFiled: October 4, 2013Date of Patent: August 23, 2016Assignee: Mattel, Inc.Inventors: Eric C. Ostendorff, Sang Joon Kwak

Patent number: 9345979Abstract: A toy vehicle track set is provided including a pair of arm members including a first arm member and a second arm member. The pair of arm member are movably mounted to the track set for movement between a first position and a second position. A toy vehicle carriage is pivotally mounted at a distal end of each of the pair of arm members. Each of the pair of arm members is coupled to one another such that as one of the arm members moves from its first position to its second position, the other of the arm members also moves from its first position to its second position.Type: GrantFiled: September 12, 2013Date of Patent: May 24, 2016Assignee: Mattel, Inc.Inventors: Robert William Matthes, Stacy Lynn O'Connor, Sang Joon Kwak
