Abstract
A toy vehicle playset comprises a stunt loop apparatus. The stunt loop apparatus has a support, a partial loop portion coupled to the support, and an arcuate portion rotatably coupled to the support. The partial loop portion has an opening and the arcuate portion is configured to rotate between an inlet position and an outlet position within the opening. By rotating the arcuate portion from the inlet position to the outlet position, a continuous pathway is formed that allows a toy vehicle to sequentially travel along the arcuate portion in the inlet position, the partial loop portion, and then the arcuate portion in the outlet position.
Claims20
A toy vehicle playset, comprising:
- a stunt loop apparatus having a support, a partial loop portion coupled to the support, and an arcuate portion rotatably coupled to the support and positioned concentric with the partial loop portion, the partial loop portion having an opening and the arcuate portion being configured to rotate between an inlet position and an outlet position within the opening;
- wherein rotating the arcuate portion from the inlet position to the outlet position forms a continuous pathway that allows a toy vehicle to sequentially travel along the arcuate portion in the inlet position, the partial loop portion, and the arcuate portion in the outlet position.
A toy vehicle playset, comprising:
- a stunt loop apparatus having a support, a partial loop portion coupled to the support and having an opening that extends between an inlet of the partial loop portion and an outlet of the partial loop portion, and a rotating arcuate portion coupled to the support, wherein a focal point of the partial loop portion is an axis of rotation of the arcuate portion,
- wherein the arcuate portion configured to rotate between an inlet position that allows a toy vehicle to enter the stunt loop apparatus and travel along the partial loop portion and an outlet position that allows the toy vehicle traveling along the partial loop portion to exit the stunt loop apparatus.
A toy vehicle playset, comprising:
- a stunt loop apparatus having a support, a partial loop portion coupled to the support, and an arcuate portion rotatably coupled to the support, the partial loop portion having an opening and the arcuate portion being configured to rotate between an inlet position and an outlet position within the opening;
- and
- a housing for releasably storing one or more toy vehicles, the housing hingedly connected to the stunt loop apparatus such that the stunt loop apparatus pivots between a closed position that blocks the one or more toy vehicles stored in the housing from being released and an open position that allows the one or more toy vehicles stored in the housing to be released;
- wherein rotating the arcuate portion from the inlet position to the outlet position forms a continuous pathway that allows a toy vehicle to sequentially travel along the arcuate portion in the inlet position, the partial loop portion, and the arcuate portion in the outlet position.
