Abstract
Embodiments of the invention includes a play set having multiple configurations. The play set include a plurality of track segments that are configured to be selectively connected to each other in a variety of configuration. The track segments include a plurality of main track segments, a plurality of intersection pieces and a plurality of curved track segments. Each track segment includes at least one magnetic element embedded within a thickness of the track segment. Each track segment can be directly connectable to other track segments through the magnetic elements.
Claims18
A play set having multiple configurations, comprising:
- a plurality of track segments that are configured to be selectively connected to each other, wherein the plurality of track segments comprise;
- a plurality of main track segments, wherein each main track segment includes a top surface having a first play scene and a bottom surface having a second play scene, a main track thickness, two main track end faces and at least a first and a second magnetic element embedded within the main track thickness at each main track end face;
- wherein a first length of the main track segment is twice a width of the main track segment;
- a plurality of track intersection segments, wherein each track intersection segment includes a top surface having the first play scene and a bottom surface having the second play scene, a track intersection thickness, four track intersection end faces and at least a first and a second magnetic element embedded within the track intersection thickness at each track intersection end face;
- wherein a second length of the track intersection segment is equal to a width of the track intersection segment;
- a plurality of curved track segments, wherein each curved track segment includes a top surface having the first play scene and a bottom surface having the second play scene, a curved track thickness, curved track end faces and at least a first and a second magnetic element embedded within the curved track thickness at each curved track end face;
- and
- a plurality of transition track segments, wherein each transition segment includes a top surface having portions of both the first play scene and the second play scene, a transition track thickness, at least two transition track end faces and at least a first and a second magnetic element embedded within the transition track thickness at each transition track end face;
- wherein a width of the transition track segment is equal to the width of the main track segment;
- and wherein each of the main track segment, intersection segment, curved track segment and transition track segment comprises an exposed surface of the first magnetic element includes a north magnetic end and an exposed surface of the second magnetic element includes a south magnetic end;
- and
- wherein each of the main track segment, intersection segment, and curved track segment further comprises the first magnetic element at a first end is diagonal to a first magnetic element at a second end;
- wherein each of the transition track segments further comprises the first magnetic element at a first end is diagonal to a second magnetic element at a second end;
- and
- wherein the main track segment is configured to be directly connectable to a track intersection segment at the main track end faces and the track intersection end face;
- wherein two main track segments are connectable at 90 degrees via the track intersection segment, the track intersection segment directly adjoining each of the main track segments via two track intersection end faces 90 degrees apart;
- wherein a top surface having the first play scene any of the main track segments, the intersection segment and the curved track segment is aligned with a corresponding top surface having the first play scene of another main track segment, another intersection segment or another curved track segment by direct magnetic connection of said segments;
- and
- wherein the first play scene transitions to the second play scene by connecting any of the main track segment, intersection segment and curved track segment having its top surface facing up to another main track segment, another intersection segment or another curved track segment having transition segment having its bottom surface facing up by the placement of the transition segment between said any of the main track segments, intersection track segments and curved track segments.
