Patent number: 5075515Abstract: The present invention provides a track for a vehicle racing game. The track has two vehicle guide rails on an upper surface. At a curved section of the track, the guide rails converge so that the vehicles will collide with each other if the game operators do not pay close attention. Also, at the curved section, an inner side of the upper surface is recessed to hold the vehicle to the track. A guard member next to an outer side of the upper surface keeps the vehicle from tail sliding or spinning. A pair of power supply rails run on the upper surface along each guide rail, except in the curved section where the power supply rails connect by a wire or the like instead of running on the upper surface.Type: GrantFiled: October 19, 1990Date of Patent: December 24, 1991Assignee: Tomy Company, Ltd.Inventors: Yousuke Yoneda, Akimitsu Kawasaki

Patent number: 5038685Abstract: A track apparatus for a toy racing car includes a car-entry track portion, a car-exit track portion, and a pivotal arm pivotally mounted between the two track portions to carry a car from one portion to the other. The pivotal arm has a stand connected to a distal end thereof which has a retractable stop. When a car travelling with sufficient momentum hits the stop, the pivotal arm is caused to pivot from one position to another, whereby the car is delivered from the car-entry track portion to the car-exit track portion. Upon reaching the second position, the stop is automatically retracted to release the car.Type: GrantFiled: April 20, 1990Date of Patent: August 13, 1991Assignee: Tomy Company, Ltd.Inventors: Yousuke Yoneda, Masami Furukawa
